DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

Per patch 1.92 (02.27.08):
- The Lost Seed - Siasya will now address players by their specific class when completing this quest.


Per 1.64 Patch Notes:
- Casters that finish the quest The Lost Seed will now receive a focus staff instead of the previous staff which will no longer be given in the game. If you've already completed the quest and would prefer the new reward, you should return and speak with Terod in Droighaid.


This is the new quest in patch 1.61, The Lost Seed for Hibernia, this quest can be repeated:

Starts with Terod (east side of Droighaid), who sends you to talk with Kredril (in between the two halves of Droighaid).

Kredril gives you a ticket to Aalid Feie to speak with Jandros (NE tree of the four, with Fylara 48K 22K).
Jandros gives you a branch and tells you to go to a grove in Cothrom. The journal directions are dead on, follow the north road into Cothrom until the first drop around the mirages, and turn west, following the zone wall until it turns north, at which point there is a tree that emits /broad notes periodically (like you feel a quiet rustling in the leaves overhead) and if you have the branch, a treant bursts forth (red/purp to 50)(loc=7441, 58437 in Cothram Gorge). It's an easy purple if you bring a friend.

Return to Jandros with the stone, he gives you three notes and teleports you to Droighaid. He always ports you to Droighaid the first time.

Give the first note to Terod, who scowls at you.
Second note to Kredril.
Third note to Syalia (on top of the tower in the east half of Droighaid... also has been found on the west half of Droighaid as well) who, when you click on reward, gives you the option of choosing a weapon. Each additional time you are randomly ported to one of four places: Droighaid, Bann-Didein, Domnann, or Necht. At each place other than Droighaid you can talk to the sylvan right next to where it ports you and receive a reward. In Necht you receive the Paidrean Necklace. In Bann-Didein you get a jewel called the Aiglean Earring. When ported to Domnann you get the Fainey Argid Ring. Once you receive all three of these items you can no longer receive the quest. But if you want to keep doing the quest to gain exp you can simply not talk to sylvan that it ports you too and keep repeating the quest.

You can keep doing this quest for 2billion exp and 15g each time, and I've heard that our "version" of it also has the beaded resistance stones, but I have yet to see a reward after the first.

Also each time after the first that you complete the quest you do not get 2 billion exp. The amount you do get depends on the level but it is about 700 mil at level 48 and 800 mil at level 49, more at level 50 but exp not important then.

General Tip: make a macro to "/say the lost seed" if you plan on doing this quest.

Player comments:

Mythic appears to have changed this quest in-game, that is, without an
official acknowledgement or patch, that will prevent you from "skipping"
your reward and repeating the quest over and over again for your 700mn xp.

It was a damned easy way to get 700mn xp @ L48 on your way to 50 but I
guess all good things must come to an end. It looks like if you get
ported to a town that has the reward, you -must- receive the reward in
order for Terod to accept his note, otherwise, if you simply neglect to
accept your reward from the nearby Sylvan and proceed back to Droighaid,
Terod will not accept your note.

Before, Terod would gladly accept your note and you could repeat the quest
no matter where you were ported without ever accepting your reward.

Duo'd this with another, received the following experience on the first attempt -

Lvl 48 received 2,062,968,512 exp
Lvl 49 received 2,369,728,551 exp

Champion experience gained:
handing in the jewel: 451
1st time quest completion: 1471
subsequent quest completions: 23

Note from Nylissa of Ector:
NPC Cyrielle gives: Aiglean Earring
NPC Laryra gives: Paidrean Necklace
NPC Sevaen gives: Fainey Argid Ring

  Paidrean Necklace
  Aiglean Earring

ported to Droighaid

To clear up any confusion (some alliance mates were puzzled tonight), if you are ported back to Droighaid by Jandros after returning the Teagair to him, you will receive only XP and coin as a reward.

Hand in the notes to Terod, Kredril, and Siasya (NOT Sialya as mispelled earlier). Then ask if Siasya [shall reward] you, and she will hand you 15g and some XP.

If you get ported to another town and get turned around, here are the Sylvan NPCs to speak to:

Necht - Laryra (Paidrean Necklace)
Bann-Didein - Cyrielle (Aiglean Earring)
Domnann - Sevaen (Fainey Argid Ring)

I was not only able to get all 4 drops with my enchanter, I repeated it 9 times after my Warden bot finished for 2 more bub's worth of exp than she got! This quest is the Hibernian version of the Albion SI quest "Stone of Arwan" for those albs who've made hibs.

I was able to kill him the first time solo on a 49 mana eld. After the first time though he started using an insta stun and repeatidly used an insta nuke that hit for about 190. He seems near impossible for me to solo now.

Completed solo with a 49 ment and charmed mirage.
Stick to zone wall and out from under trees to avoid shrouder aggro from above.
If the treant kills you, you will have to kill it twice more or go back to Jandros and get another branch to get the gem.
Only received gold and xp after susequent completions.

STILL REPEATABLE

This quest is still REPEATABLE!!!. AFTER you get your reward simply start over,Terod will tell you that the spirit stole the seed back and ask you to go get it, after that the steps are all the same, you need to do it more than once to get the all important necklace.

(AS of 1.71)

You can do it up to 10 times, or untill you have the weapon, necklace, earing, and ring. It took me 8 tries, and I got 5.5 bubbles at Level 48. If you do not do this quest, you are missing out, there is no better way to level and the weapon and necklace are great drops.

Treant popped for me at 7441, 58437 in cothram gorge. Easy battle for a 49 BM and a 50 hero
