1. Poachers at the Treeline
The Wildwarden's jaw tightens. "Bandits been picking off strays at the wood's edge. A fed herd's no use if it's a thieves' larder. Drive them off — all of them."
Objectives
- Kill
Bandit ×40
Rewards
- 5,000 gp
2. The Den Beneath the Hill
"They're not camping — they're nesting," Bram says, peering down a black stairwell. "Stoneheart Depths. Go in and clear it, floor by floor."
Objectives
- Clear
Stoneheart Depths ×3
Rewards
- 6,000 gp
3. Fill the Troughs
"The big beasts eat by the barrel," the Wildwarden says. "Net manta rays from the cold deep — nothing else fills a feeding trough."
Objectives
- Catch
Raw Manta Ray ×120
Rewards
- 95,000 Fishing XP
- 4,000 gp
4. Bond the Guardians
"A hunting beast that won't heed you is a danger to the whole herd," the Wildwarden warns. "Mission your companions till they'll stand at your shoulder." Raise your pets in the Pets panel.
Objectives
- Reach
Pets level 22
Rewards
- 5,000 gp
5. The Ridge Pack
Dire wolves have scented the herd. "They'll take a calf a night if you let 'em," the Wildwarden says. "Thin the pack before lambing season."
Objectives
- Kill
Dire Wolf ×45
Rewards
- 5,500 gp
6. The Senshi Trials
"The old beast-tamers left a proving ground in the cliffs," Bram says. "It's overrun now. Clear the Senshi Trials and we reclaim the high pasture."
Objectives
- Clear
Senshi Trials ×3
Rewards
- 6,500 gp
7. Cut Off the Supply Line
The bandits regrouped and came back armed. "They want this vale," the Wildwarden growls. "Show them the cost."
Objectives
- Kill Bandit ×50
Rewards
- 6,000 gp
8. The Winter Stores
"Lean months are coming," the Wildwarden says, eyeing the empty cellars. "Lay in a deep-water haul while the troughs can take it."
Objectives
- Catch Raw Manta Ray ×140
Rewards
- 105,000 Fishing XP
- 4,500 gp
9. Back into the Depths
Something larger denned in Stoneheart after the bandits fled. "Whatever moved in," Bram says, hefting his blade, "it's too near the graze. Clear it out again."
Objectives
- Clear Stoneheart Depths ×4
Rewards
- 7,000 gp
10. Guardians of the Herd
"They follow you into the dark now," the Wildwarden says with quiet pride. "But the worst predators are still ahead. Keep your companions growing — you'll need their teeth." Level your pets further.
Objectives
- Reach Pets level 25
Rewards
- 6,000 gp
11. The Alpha
One great wolf leads the rest — scarred, clever, and hungry. "Take the alpha," the Wildwarden says, "and the pack scatters. Leave it, and it never stops."
Objectives
- Kill Dire Wolf ×55
Rewards
- 7,000 gp
12. Reclaim the High Pasture
With the pack broken, only the Trials still bar the high meadows. "Finish it," the Wildwarden says. "The herd grazes up there by summer or not at all."
Objectives
- Clear Senshi Trials ×5
Rewards
- 7,500 gp
13. The Great Trough
The high pasture has a feeding pool of its own, dry for years. "Fill it," the Wildwarden says. "A full trough up here means the herd never has to come down."
Objectives
- Catch Raw Manta Ray ×150
Rewards
- 110,000 Fishing XP
- 5,000 gp
