Collect Spores

A long time ago, there was a beautiful forest beyond the mountains to the east of the Elven Forest. We Elves used to live there. But the land became devastated due to the forbidden magic that was used two thousand years ago during the war between the Humans and the Elves. Now it is called the Sea of Spores.

Today, the problem is that the Sea of Spores is slowly expanding bit by bit. Of course, we are trying to stop its expansion with a magical defense field, but our forest has become gradually contaminated over hundreds of years, from the poisons that seep out of the Sea of Spores. We are all trying our best to solve the problem, but it is not an easy thing to do. There may be a day when I will require your assistance.

(This quest may only be undertaken by a character of level 8 and above.)

Today, the problem is that the Sea of Spores is slowly expanding bit by bit. Of course, we are trying to stop its expansion with a magical defense field, but our forest has become gradually contaminated over hundreds of years from the poisons that seep out of the Sea of Spores. It is because of this that the spirits of the forest are becoming more aggressive, and creatures like the walking fungus are increasing in number. Recently, we have been conducting studies to find a way of purifying the Sea of Spores of its poisons, and returning it to the beautiful woods it once was.

Ask about the studies.

Currently, our Elven studies are divided into two directions. The famous Spellsinger Adria Lumingshine travels to the Sea of Spores to conduct her studies, while Hierarch Asterios is preoccupied with neutralizing the poisons that enter our forest from the Sea of Spores. I assist the hierarch's research by collecting leaves, roots and spores of various plants and refining them.

However, the hierarch has recently asked me to help his research by finding some spore pollen that was carried here by the wind from the Sea of Spores. However, these spores are so fine that it is almost impossible to find them. The only method is to extract them from the spore fungus, a hybrid of the spores and plants of the forest.

That is why I need your help. Please find me some Spore Sacs from the spore fungus of the forest. How about it? Will you take the job?

Say you will take the job.

Spore fungi are found here and there within the Elven Forest. Defeat the fungi and you will be able to obtain the Spore Sacs. However, the Spore Sac may tear when the fungus is killed, and obtaining them may be more difficult than you think. The Hierarch says that ten Spore Sacs are needed for his research. Good luck.

Ten Spore Sacs are needed for the Hierarch's studies. Please try harder.

Thank you. Now all I have to do is extract the powder from the Spore Sacs. We must take care as the poison may spread.

Again, thank you. You have performed a great deed for the brothers of the forest. Please accept this. It is not much, but it is a small token of my gratitude.
