First off, I found this quest to be awesome for the class... very epic sounding (as it is part of the moonstone epic) and it just fit in really well with the whole thing. Seek and Track just adds to it all.
Also, I just wanted to say that I think the Journal is wrong on purpose... the whole point is misdirection. If you follow the journal, you'll end up giving the note to a green cloaked Guardian who will tell you that they will take care of the Seeker and kill him, making you fail the quest. You just have to be careful with this one.
Mild Deception

DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different Ula mentions that the guards and sentinels are hunting down a certain Stalker. She asks if you would be willing to assist in a mildly nefarious deed. Upon accepting, she instructs you to speak with a Lurikeen tracker, and attempt to trick him into giving you a note intended for someone else. She then tells you that, once you have the letter, you should deliver it to someone named Achaius, located either in Tir na mbeo or Ardee. The tracker is due West, directly across the road; he is wearing red armor, and is named simply "Tracker". Upon speaking with him, he tells you that you look like a Stalker; he asks if you are [here to aid] or if you are [a Stalker]. Choose [here to aid]; choosing [a Stalker] will fail the quest and requires starting over. He gives you a letter to deliver to a guard in green armor, located at the guard post near Tir na mbeo; DO NOT do this, as the quest will fail. The quest info tells you to deliver it to someone in Howth or Ardagh. Achaius is, in fact, a wandering weapons merchant; he travels between Mag Mell (you'd think the tracker would notice... hard to find good help...) and Ardee. He never reaches Mag Mell, but stops short and heads back North. Deliver it to him for your reward. Helpful hints: You trick the tracker into giving you the letter, and then you give it to someone else. If you got the quest in the south, you give it to Twm, who runs off because he is being hunted. He's the LARGE guy outside the round building with the two lovers in ARDAUGH. If you got the quest in the north, you give it Achius, who can be found hiding (ok, standing, but he's a lurikeen) out on the outskirts of TNBeo near the horse seller. Achius is actually in one of the corners of the Tavern in Ardee, outside. As soon as I gave him the letter, he started sprinting towards Mag Mell. |

Umm...right. How does the journal ommitting the name of who you're looking for make this a good quest? YOU are supposed to be the one writing in the journal- why would you deliberately confuse yourself?
This quest is bad for several reasons, one of which is listed above.
2)It is, or was, apparently broken.
3)Its intended for level 3 characters. People that don't even know how to bring up their compass or jump are supposed to wade through the lying journal pseudo-logic.
4)If you forget who you're REALLY supposed to deliver the letter to, and go back to your guild trainer to check on it, she doesn't tell you. ITS A SECRET! *wink**wink**wink**wink*
5)The satanic "ARE YOU WILLING TO EMBRACE DARKNESS? Accept/Decline" message at the beginning of the quest is sure to frighten off newbs.
6)Mythic doesn't just lie to you- they're also lazy. Instead of creating separate entries for Achaius and Twm, they just say "the letter should be delivered to someone" in two places that a newbie has never heard of. Neither of them are Howth.
