Quest NPC: Truborne Jaegir Speak with Truborne Jaegir. You're sent to Qeynos to talk to the alchemy guild master there and kill a greyflesh pike.

To get to Qeynos, exit Highbourne and head west until you reach the coast. Once there, follow it north. You'll pass two villages before reaching Qeynos. Sign the coachman's ledger. The alchemy guild is in the nobles court, in the southeast corner of the city.

He then tells you to get the pike. The pike is under the docks in Qeynos. Exit the city and go to the west side to find the docks. Somewhere near should be the pike. Kill it and bring the fillet to the guild master. He needs some tunar (about 130) to extract the oil you need. Bring it to him, then return home with the oil and give it to Truborne.

Level 20

Starting NPC: Truborne Jaegir

  1. Talk to Truborne Jaegir. He sends you to an NPC in Arcadia in a building in front of the docks. To reach Arcadia, speak to the Dockmaster in Highbourne.

  3. Show Truborne what you found. He sends you back to Arcadia, but instead use the item in your inventory. Target yourself, use the charge, and you'll be teleported to the Plane of Sky. Jump off, and you'll spawn in Highpass. Return to Highbourne, then go to Wyndhaven and speak with the Mayor. To reach Wyndhaven, go north along the coastline from Qeynos.
  4. The Mayor sends you to Murnf. Go north from Wyndhaven to the mountain line, pass through near the coast or a nearby break, then head straight east to the village. Sign the coachman's ledger and speak to the Captain in the tower.
  5. The Captain sends you to a Sage NPC in a tower at Gramash Ruins (C) northeast of the Captain's tower. Speak to a guard who sends you to Kara Village to kill a thief. Coach to Klick'Anon and follow the road west to Kara (S). Look for Taereg Bandits near the lake. The target mob spawns inside the camp and CONs yellow cons yellow at 20. Kill it and return to the guard.
