I just noticed another favor quest today, "Wisdom of the Druids" (Dwana avatar gives it on Druid's Outlook) and I am starting to wonder how many of those are there?

I have never noticed that quest before. The only one I knew of was the one that was listed in the update notes.

Me neither, europe had favor and for some wierd reason I warp there and /kneel.

Imagine my suprise when I see the green ! over the avatar.

Cool! What was the reward? Did it take you long to do the quest? I must give it a try.

500 XP, the quest is meet the druids on the watwerfall but when you get there you face 4-5 waves of 3 spiders, you never face more that 3 at the time but it can take a while with the spiders spawning and then going into the location.

Then the druids show up and start their little ritual, wait a bit and watch it and then talk to one of then and the quest is done.

Yeah, I just found that one last week. Happened to go to Druid's to see if I could buy some items and noticed the glowing statue, so I kneeled just to see if anything would happen. Gotta say that it was insanely lucky timing that Europoe actually had the favor at that point or I'd probably never have known about it.

What was your class by the way? Something in the text of the quest made me wonder if it was specifically for Rangers. It's probably not, but I'm curious.

Dwayna's Avatar in the Sanitarium will also offer a quest if your region has favor. I think it's called "Family Reunion". Standard exp reward for the area the quest is found in.

W/Mo so its not class expecific.

Cymmina, that quest is from the latest update so its well known since when released we europeans tried to find the quest at start and it was driving us nuts to trying to find the damn thing.

I'm just wondering about the need to kneel before the statue to receive the quest, and if it's really connected to the favor at the moment?

My monk received the Wisdom of the Druids quest when I was passing by the statue in Druids (and I certainly wasn't kneeling!!), while a guildie I was together with didn't see the avatar on his screen and couldn't get the quest. Made me also wonder if it was class specific, but reading this thread leaves me puzzled o.O (Could be the favor changed while I was talking to avatar, I didn't pay attention to it ...).

The quest is at the same location where the quest to kill something and obtain lilac heart is (at the bottom of waterfall).

Yes, gods avatars only show up if the altar is "active" (meaning server region having favor) and the avatar stays around for a time, perhaps you dont have to /kneel because someone else did to summon the avatar and other players keep talking to it and so keep it in the area.

Drakron - thanks, that explains it.
