Hunting Horn quest - Guild Wars Forums

Sator · Apr 29, 2005, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Hi,

This is the quest given in Ashford to take a hunting horn and bathe it in the healing pool in Regent Valley.

I found the pool, but nothing I did would update the quest. I dropped the thing in the water, clicked it, dbl clicked it, right clicked it ..nothing worked.

Any ideas?

I believe you just have to stand in the right spot and the quest updates automatically. If you press Alt (I think it's Alt; I'm not playing right now and I don't remember a lot of the controls unless I'm actually using them ^^; ) it shows you the names of NPCs and places, and when you're in that spring, it should show the name of the spring. Walk over to where the name is; that's what I did, anyway. Good luck!

you are supposed to click on the pool
Quest Name: The Hunter's Horn
Quest Giver: Chantelle the Troubadour
Location Ashford Village in Lakeside County
Reward Giver: Aidan (Wizard's Folly)
Description: Get the Hunters horn from the Troubadour in Ashford Village head up the road to Wizard's Folly. Head south east through the east forest till you come upon a river and a fishing village, from the Fishing Village head Northeast till you get to Regent Valley once in Regent Valley follow the river east to a small pond. The Healing spring will be here you might need to hold down ALT to see the healing spring click on the healing spring to purify the horn. Once the horn is purified and the quest log updated return to the fishing village and find Aidan the ranger slightly southeast of the village.

Reward: 500 XP

the amount of time i spent DROPPING it into the pool with no luck

Once you reach the spring, hold down 'Alt' and you'll see "Healing Spring" in yellow text.
Click on that and your quest will be updated.

Ooh, I didn't realize you had to click on it. My bad. It didn't work for me when I just clicked anywhere though (and I did try clicking around, as I recall), so I think clicking the name of the pool is somewhat important.

[EDIT] thanks I didn't see these replies

Thanks Ill try that tonight .. I basically just walked all around the pool (and the green star in the map would fade out) ..never got an update .. is the pool actually on top of the waterfall?

Shadowdaemon · Apr 30, 2005, 11:53 AM // 11:53

no it is below it, i am glad someone mentioned the alt thing, cause i had trouble with this quest too sometimes it just doesnt work on its own

=HT=Ingram · Apr 30, 2005, 12:20 PM // 12:20

Where is the person that you have to give the horn to? I've all over for him and can't find him. I think I found the fishing town, but I can't find he guy.

disgrace · Apr 01, 2006, 02:06 AM // 02:06

Im having some trouble here, i know exactly where the spring is and to press ALT and stuff and i have the quest with the arrow pointing to the spring but theres one problem, the Horn isnt in my inventory, i dont know what happened, i must have got rid of it back when i was new to the game and didnt know to keep such things, anyway, the person in wont give me another one when i go up to them.

What does this mean? Am i screwed, does this mean i cannot do this quest?

Go back into town and choose "Abandon Quest" in your Quest Log. Then go and get the quest again.

Loviatar · Apr 01, 2006, 02:10 AM // 02:10

go to your quest log and click abandon quest and get it fresh again.

also note you have to click on the spring words and cant just drop it into the spring.

I had a similarly confusing experience the first time through the quest.
