Spring Quest

This is a seasonal quest available in April every year.


Running the Quest

Jordane the Gardener would like your assistance with preparing for the spring planting season.

To begin the quest, say hail to Rufus the Gardener's Apprentice near the giant tree North of Lakeshire.


Note: You must be patched up to Expatch 11 to participate in this quest.

Note: You cannot enter the quest areas with pets. 0 slot mounts can still enter.

Note: The quest cooldown is by account: you can't use your alts to run the quest more frequently.

Rewards

The rewards display can be found through the green gate next to Boone at the Ilshenar compassion shrine.

Every time you turn in plant cuttings to Boone, you will receive a reward item as well as 2 Gold Dipped Leaves. These leaves can be used as currency on the vendor stone.

NOTE: Quest currency should be spent on the vendor stone on/before the stated quest closing date! Quest currency is designed to decay several days after the quest closing date to ensure that any minor quest extensions are accounted for, but once the quest is closed the vendor stone will no longer be available and you will not be able to spend the currency.

Seasonal Totem: Dahlia

To check your progress, say "quest count" to the clock near Jordane. The required number of runs for the totem is 40.

When you have reached 40 runs (or more), approach Amadis, Jordane's husband. He is standing near her outside of Lakeshire. He will give you an item to bring to Andrew the Collector. Andrew is located in a building to the far west of Yew.


Troubleshooting

- If a quest NPC does not acknowledge you, wait 15 seconds and then try again. Quest NPCs can get locked up easily, particularly if there are multiple players trying to speak to it at once.

- If you are having trouble obtaining the items from the ground, remember that you need to steal them. It requires only 1.0 stealing and the repeat delay on stealing is reduced in this area to 3 seconds instead of the usual 8.

- If your quest items are decaying, collect them into your book immediately upon looting. They are marked temporary for a reason.


Rule Violations & Event Bans

If you are disrespectful toward the staff or otherwise violate the rules excessively, you may be given an event ban. This means you cannot participate in any seasonal quests or staff-run events until the ban expires.

If you receive jail tasks higher than 10 for ANY infraction while a seasonal quest is running, you may be barred from that event.

If you are found to be in violation of the AFK rules of the shard while inside a seasonal event space, you will lose event privileges for at least 1 week, up to the full duration of the event.
