Overview

The goal of this quest is to find Exploration Markers that have been placed at different locations all over Dereth and its surrounding islands. Some Markers belong to a particular theme (ex. they are found near Festival Stones) but some are completely random locations.

The quest culminated in 100 total markers during the 10th anniversary patch. The reward for all 100 is a global with your name plus a 30 slot backpack.

Walkthrough & Notes

Opening Dialog

You examine the marker, but are unsure what to do with it. Engraved on a small plaque is the symbol of the Explorers Society, a long series of numbers, and the name Sean the Speedy.

Sean the Speedy tells you, "Hello traveler, my name is Sean, I'm a member of the Explorers Society. I've spent years exploring the wonders of Dereth. There are many interesting corners of Dereth that sadly go unvisited, but that's why I'm here."

Sean the Speedy tells you, "In order to introduce others to the joy of exploration I've placed markers on, above and below Dereth. If you feel the urge to explore you may come across a few of these Exploration Markers like the one next to me here. Come see me when you've found at least 10 of them and I'll reward you."

Sean the Speedy tells you, "Go ahead and use this marker. I hope it will be the first of many you find while exploring the majesty of this world."

Sean the Speedy tells you, "Over the past several months, I have been hiding more and more markers across this wondrous land. There are now a grand total of 100 markers hidden in the world, some of which are linked by theme. If you find all 100 markers, I may have something special for you.".

10 Markers

Sean the Speedy tells you, "Congratulations! You found your first 10 Exploration Markers! Let's see, I have your reward right here."
