Speak to Guard Jirash, at the stairs to the Tower Base on the Island of Dawn, to begin this mission. This is a level 5 quest.
Mana out of Mudmen
Researchers insist that Jirash halt the attacks of Sporewalkers on their supplies. Adria commands that all sentries stay at their posts. Those who are neither researchers nor sentries can still be of assistance. The spirits seek mana crystals, which were taken from other spirits. Reclaim as many crystals as possible and bring them here.
You can mark the creatures on your map by clicking their names in the quest log.
Your task is to collect mana crystals from the sporewalkers around the tower base. You need to gather eight mana crystals. There should be plenty of Sporewalkers to the Southwest of the Tower Base, and also some to the Southeast. Identify them easily by the yellow exclamation marks over their heads.
Sporewalker Strategy
The main attack you have to watch out for is their rolling attack which inflicts lots of damage, and sometimes strikes twice. When you see that they are about to perform that attack, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. If you are a class that can attack from range, such as an archer or a sorcerer, then make sure be in constant motion and attack while moving.
After you have collected all 8 mana crystals, return to the quest giver, Guard Jirash. He tells you that these Crystals are precisely what they wanted. Researchers and sentries alike celebrate. Perhaps now Jirash can join the real fight, wherever it is you are going.
You receive 2000 experience points and 2 silver coins. This quest also has an optional reward. You can choose one of the three rewards offered here:
