DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

Talk to either Lord Mathias (castle sauvage) or Lady Kristianna (Adribard's retreat) to start the quest. Both give the same quest with the same steps. You may choose to work for either one, no matter who you start the quest for, though I am unsure if this affects the reward.

The quest consists of three kill tasks and a delivery. After killing each mob, you must return to the quest giver to get the next mob.

The first is a quicksand, located in Avalon marsh (west across the lake from the Outland Warf, ~27k 15k), conning yellow, few orange at level 28.

The second is a giant boar, located several places in the Salisbury plains (25, 20; 55, 20; or 40, 40 approximately, found between the Fallen Tower and the Southwest Tower.). Yellow to level 20.

The third and final mob is a black bear, located in Cornwall. Yellow to red and purple to a level 28, these can be found in the woods to the north of the road between Cornwall station and the broken tower.

Upon returning with the final item, you will be asked to deliver a letter to the king�s seneschal.

You will find her above the gates to Castle Humberton. Upon giving her the letter you will be attacked by some hired thugs- the guards make very quick work of them, and you receive a letter to the thugs.

Upon using the item, you find out that the thugs were sent by your quest givers opponent.

This can either be turned into your quest giver or their rival. Doing so will earn you 50 silver for your silence on the matter (this just about covered the horse rides).

You are given a final letter to give to the quest givers cousin to receive your reward- some xp and a rather nice cloak.

The reward givers are located on the outland warf for Lady Kristianna or the courtyard of Sauvage for Lord Mathias.

lvl 23 received 1,802,240 xp

Luminous Cloak (int)-- Theurgist, Wizard, Sorcerer, Necromancer, Cabalist

Went to said location.. 27k 15k. There were no quicksands, just mist sprites, bloody bones and gripping vines... no clue where to go now to find something called a quicksand. Ok ok.. they were at 22k 24k..heh. higher level than sprites or bones but doable.

Not so easy anymore

Be aware that since v1.75 was installed, the Quicksand cons orange to a lvl 25 and first you have to get through the giant wolves which conned orange to red. The black bears were red to the same lvl 25 and were surrounded by purps. You're gonna want to bring some help along now.

Great quest and a nice reward. Instead of having to kill 'many' mobs, I got the drop on the 2nd kill of the quicksand and the giand boar, and the 3rd bear. All mobs were blue to a 23, except the bears, they were blue to yellow. I received 1,802,240 xp.
