Quests (A-D)

   Quests are listed in alphabetical order and have been organized into subgroups to make locating them faster and easier. For each quest, I have provided a walk-through, information on the location to start the quest, and a summary of the money/items/Quest Points you will receive as a reward upon completion. Additionally, I have included a list of Items Required for each quest. This is especially helpful if you like to have your supplies on hand ahead of time, and it should prevent a lot of running back and forth. These lists do not, however, make mention of "quest-only" items such as those provided to you by NPCs during the course of the quest, as you do not have to worry about gathering these beforehand.

   Please note that this section of the website DOES NOT include mini-game quests (Ant Hills, Sandcastle Moats, Paintings, etc.). These can be found instead under the Mini-Games heading on the navigation menu.

Tell him that the tree should be beside a lake in an enchanted forest. Lastly, he will want you to help him come up with a name for the tree and will insist that you step outside and scout around the willow for "inspiration."

   Inspiration, as it turns out, is an elf named Robin, who lives beneath the trunk of the willow. You can find him wandering near the tree, or you can use your shovel at the spot indicated to talk to him instantly. Explain to Robin what your purpose is in coming, and he'll give you a few suggestions for a name.

*You must first complete the quest, Demetrius' Poetry Woes*

• Items Required: none

• Reward: 200 Quest Points,   Emerald Necklace (x7),   Ruby Necklace (x5)

  Begin by speaking to Demetrius to learn that he has found a piece of parchment bearing a mysterious riddle which hints at hidden treasure. Demetrius doesn't want to leave his work to follow the clues, so let him talk you into doing it instead. Your first clue is leading you to Crescent Isle - conveniently, you can ask Demetrius to send you there to see his sister.

   Speak to Luna in her cabin on Crescent Isle and she will share the second clue with you. Travel to the southernmost tip of the isle and dig beneath the palm tree as shown to the left. You will unearth your third clue.

   Your next objective will be to speak to Ruthie on HalfHaven Isle. She will tell you that she remembers an old riddle that was carved into a tree on the island before she came to live on it. Follow Ruthie's clue by traveling across the nearby bridge onto Haven Isle, and then head north. You will find clue #5 by using your Magnifying Glass in the spot indicated by the image to the right.

   Your final stop will be Desert Isle. When you arrive, travel directly south of Hotton until you find Pyramid #4. Stand on the right side of the Pyramid and use your Magnifying Glass to find your last clue. From there, head a few paces to the east where you will find an oasis. Stand directly to the left of the oasis and dig to unearth a buried treasure containing several Emerald and Ruby Necklaces.

   Bring the treasures to Demetrius, who will be happy to let you keep the spoils of your hunt in exchange for leaving him in peace.
