DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

(Riranwyn is at 13491, 11890 in Oceanus Hesperos)
Riranwyn says, "Hello there friend. I am Riranwyn, one of the helpers here in Oceanus. I'm currently trying to dig up more ruins for the scholars over yonder, but one of them has come to me for a more [personal] task."

Riranwyn says, "She's been trying to get some more information on those blasted harpies that seem to be everywhere. They're such a mean and wretched bunch, I don't know why anyone would be [interested] in them!"

Riranwyn says, "Well, she seems to think they're purely magical beings, but I've never seen any evidence of that. I mean, I've never seen one cast any spells. You'd think that would be a sure fire way to know if one is [magical] or not."

Riranwyn says, "Anyhow, she wants me to go and climb around near their nests and collect pieces of their trash! As if I have time to do that! But look, I'm willing to pay you if you can do this job for me. What do you say? [Will] you or [won't] you?"

You have been given the Origins of the Harpies quest.

Riranwyn says, "Ok, listen up, She has a veritable shopping list of things she wants, so here goes. She is looking for harpy bones, harpy teeth, harpy hair and harpy nest pieces. Did you [get that]?"

Riranwyn says, "She says there's an island in Mesothalassa that has these harpies called 'nesting harpies'. She says they're less dangerous than the others. Find the island and search around the [base] of the pillars there."

Riranwyn says, "Like I said, look for harpy bones, harpy hair, harpy teeth and harpy nest fragments. If you get some, bring them back to me. Oh, and one more thing. Bring some friends. I hear those harpies are very aggressive."

[Step #1] 'Travel to Mesothalassa and look for the island with the nesting harpies. FORAGE around their pillars for useable pieces for Riranwyn. You may want to bring some friends, as the harpies are known to be aggressive.'

(The destination is a farily large island in the middle of the zone of Mesothalassa. You pass by it on both the outbound and inbound legs of the Pride of Volcanus boat route)

You begin foraging.
You finish foraging the area.

[Step #5] 'Return with your findings to Riranwyn in the Oceanus Haven.'

Riranwyn says, "Oh good! You're back. She was just over here asking some subtle questions. I told her not to worry about it, that I was on top of it. Alright, now give me those harpy bones first."

Riranwyn says, "Oh, this is disgusting. Is that from one of them? Truly barbaric. Alright, now for the hair."

[Step #6] 'Now turn the harpy hair into Riranwyn.'

Riranwyn says, "Stringy, nasty hair. Alright, this is beyond bizarre. Now, hand me the teeth, though I shudder at the mere thought."

[Step #7] 'Turn in the harpy teeth to Riranwyn.'

Riranwyn says, "Well, these are certainly interesting, to say the least. I hope this woman is happy with these. Well, just one last thing, the nest fragments. Hand them over."

[Step #8] 'Turn in the nest fragments to Riranwyn.'

Riranwyn says, "I suppose this could have been worse. Thankfully it's not. Alright Cardakime, now I have [something] for you."

[Step #9] 'Listen to Riranwyn.'

Riranwyn says, "I had these made for myself, but I never got a chance to use them, so I hope they give you better luck than they ever gave me. Now get lost. Good luck at the trials. I'm going to give this filth to that scholar woman."

You receive Wind Hardened Pants from Riranwyn!
You have finished the Origins of the Harpies quest.

NPC and Warning

If you have friends doing this quest MAKE SURE that they have atleast Three Bags Available to hold all the crud that they forage. Some friends of mine dropped a piece or two that they needed because their sacks were full last night. Now they don't get the pants.(Tried to warn em but they didn't seem to listen till it was time to get the pants).

K on the other note, there is an old man (think his name starts with an A) near the docks. He is the one who takes the left overs from the foraging.

You don't have to move from pillar to pillar. You can just forage at one, and eventually you will get the pieces you need.
