YOu dont get natures totem for this.. You get it doing the Wug's quest.
Reward for this one is Forest Jewl.
You can't mess it up. I killed Lucan by mistake and he dropped the jewl for me. He also dropped the branch which I gave to Torrace.
I'm 25th lvl now and have been working on my epic.
You'll be ok.

yesterday I got this quest, and talked to Lucan and went back and killed Ciar, the trouble is that although I took the branch back to Torrance, I sold the Jewel of the Forest (doh). I just really wasn't expecting anything to be given at a point that appeared to be mid-quest. I carried on and gave Torrance the branch, but although I got the experience for the quests, I didn't get any additional item. Who actually gives the Natures Totem, and have I irrevocably screwed up getting my "epic" quest right at this point, or is there anything I can do to recover from here?

thanks for any insight.

How long are these rewards good for?

I was wondering if the jewelry and magic items obtained by this quest, and others for that matter, are usuable for only a few levels. Is it just like the armor, with grey, green, blue, yellow, orange, red and beyond levels of usage? When it says magic lvl 1 or 2 or 3 does that mean after you advance in levels, you cannot use these items any more?
yup

Not only did my mentalist do this, but the item was different too...I think i got a Stone loop ring Int and dex boost
Max level

THe max level is wrong. I did it yesterday as a level 22 druid.

The max levels listed in the quests is the max level that you gain experience for the quest, not the max that you get a item or cash reward.
Epics are based on PATHS, not Class

I figured out something about the epics. They are not based upon your class, but more YOUR Path. Take a look at this list:

Path of Essence: Nightshade, Bard, Enchanter, Champion

Path of Harmony: Druid Mentalist, Blademaster

Path of Focus: Eldritch, Hero, Ranger, Warden

So, for instance if you are a Ranger and your friend is a Hero you will BOTH have the same epic quest.

This is the also the level 7 blademaster trainer quest. The guardian is directly in the patch of dead tress aross the river from Connla. Cia says kill him.

I decided to talk to him instead of kill him, and he instructed me to kill Ciar. Killed Ciar and that led into this quest.

http://camelot.allakhazam.com/quests.html?realm=Hibernia&cquest=81

She dropped the branch and a belt with small pluses to STR, DEX, and QUICK. This quest is simply delivering the tree branch across the bridge at Connla to a druid Thommas (I think) at the first guard post. 2 bubbles of exp ay level 7.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW, whay I would have gotten had I just killed the guardian as Cia requested.

the answer to question dont do it..not that big of deal some xp and bag of coins..but it ends ur quest and have to start over

Druids?
# Oct 25 2001 at 6:20 PM Rating: Default
I am pretty sure this quest is for more than just Druids. I am a level 7 Blademaster and have received it also.

And where the heck is that guardian...?
Not just Druids

I did this quest as a Mentalist, having received it from my trainer in Tir na nÓg. I spoke to Ciar, but then foolishly, I killed Lucan without talking to him. The Enchanting Willow quest ended right there, and the Dying Favor quest began. I received a dead oak branch from the dying Lucan, who told me to give it to the Druid at the tower.

Upon doing so, I received a magical ring with some stat boosts, and was reprimanded for my foolish actions. Apparently, I had killed the only one who knew how to stop Ciar, and that she would only grow stronger now that she was free. The Druid said it was now up to me to find a way to kill her. So I went back over there and melted her brain, but all I got was a bag of coins, so I am not sure that was the Druid meant.

All the quests are marked as completed, however, so I guess I will just let it go.

I did this one as a Mentalist also. I talked to Lucan and then killed Ciar. I got a ring with +int +dex so I think you got the same reward in the end anyway.
