    		 Scout Ethaniel may be found at /loc -230, -1700.

    You say, 'Hail, Scout Ethaniel'

    Scout Ethaniel says 'Shhh! Lower your voice lest you give us away. You see, I've been placed here to be our eyes upon the [Bixies].'

    You say, 'What Bixies?'

    Scout Ethaniel says 'Aye, magical creatures. . .half bee, half something else, I know not and care not to know. I only know that we are here to [discover] what they are up to and if they mean Crescent Reach any ill will.'

    You say, 'Discover?'

    Scout Ethaniel says 'Some time ago I sent in Verrin to try and uncover the Bixie's plan but he has failed to return and is now long over due. Will you go look for my [assistant]?'

    You say, 'I will look for your assistant.'

    You have been assigned the task 'The Bixie Threat?'.

    Scout Ethaniel says 'I am afraid that Verrin may have been exposed and his life put in danger. Go there and look for Verrin. See to it that he returns unharmed.'

    Scout Ethaniel has lost contact with one of his men. Head over to the Bixie Farm to see if you can find out what happened to Scout Verrin.



    1. Find the entrance into the bixie farm 0/1 - Blightfire Moors

      Task updated at /loc -740, -2020.

    2. Find Scout Verrin 0/1 - Blightfire Moors

      Scout Verrin can be found lying in a bixie field at /loc -1130, -2380. Walk over him to update the task.

    3. See if Verrin can respond to you 0/1 - Blightfire Moors

      You say, 'Hail, Scout Verrin'

      Scout Verrin says 'Shh. . .is the coast clear? I'm playing dead and I can't leave this area if there are too many bixies around! Come back and let me know when it is [clear]!'

      You say, 'It is clear.'

      Scout Verrin says 'Are you sure?!? I can still hear quite a bit of buzzing around here. I am not getting up until the coast is truly clear!

    4. Cover Verrin's escape by killing some of the jumjum bixies 0/10 - Blightfire Moors

      Kill 10 of the bixies in the area surrounding Scout Verrin.

    5. Make sure Verrin makes it back to the camp safely 0/1 - Blightfire Moors

      You say, 'Hail, Scout Verrin'

      Scout Verrin says 'Shh. . .is the coast clear? I'm playing dead and I can't leave this area if there are too many bixies around! Come back and let me know when it is [clear]!'

      You say, 'It is clear.'

      Upon saying "Clear" Scout Verrin will get up and begin to walk back to Scout Ethaniel. Even though he was surrounded by bixies when he got up they did not agro on him. Follow him as he makes his way back. When he reaches the camp the task will update and he will say...

      Scout Verrin says 'Thank you very much for rescuing me! I will go back to Crescent Reach and tend to my wounds.'

    6. Speak with Scout Ethaniel 0/1 - Blightfire Moors

      You say, 'Hail, Scout Ethaniel'

      A wave of relief runs over Ethaniel as Verrin makes it back to the camp, weary and a bit worn, but alive. Ethaniel thanks you for assistance in the matter and tosses you a small sack of coins.

      Your faction standing with Circle of the Crystalwing got better.
      You receive 4 copper.
      You receive 3 silver.
      You receive 2 gold.
      You receive 17 platinum.
      You gain experience!!




    This opens up the next task, "Bixie Jumjum."

    I have done this quest on others but never had so much trouble, my druid has cleared multiple times and he still doesn't get up. Any suggestions? Does she need to be in the group?

    You don't actually have to escort him.

    If you are trying to do this for a whole group just stay at Verrin's spawn point. One char at a time say "clear". He will path back to Ethaniel all by himself. Then can say "clear" on your next character.

    If you have never killed a bixie they will not attack you. However, the giant wasps and Buzzazar will. So just avoid them and find the scout. When you get to the point of having to kill 10 bixies, do it towards the back of the farm by the big farmhouse, no adds there and the kills still count for the quest.

    This task is not repeatable. However, as you progress with the tasks and get to #4, #4 IS repeatable, and would only be worth doing if you want the other rewards as well.
