Objectives
Disarm 6 trapped tools.
- Booby trapped tools disarmed (6)
- Report to the Lady of the falls at Glitterfall Basin.
Description
Ah, an outsider! You are perfect for this task.
The spriggans are known for their mischief. They have been cursing our tools and supplies and trapping unsuspecting workers!
Like our curses, they must obey the rules. You'll need shimmerdust for baskets, thread made of gossamer for harps, and minty fresh breath for the dreamcatchers. How odd.
Good luck and let the Lady of the Falls know when you're done. She'll be delighted to hear it!
Rewards
You will receive:
- 37 20 60
- 12,950 XP
- +160 reputation with The Wild Hunt
Progress
The curses can be quite nasty. Do be careful out there. I'd hate to lose someone as useful as you.
Completion
Cursed tools? And you brought them back? Un-cursed!? I must say, I was not entirely expecting you to be quite so successful.
