About Heroic Adventures:

- They use the task system (steps are shown in task window, but steps are only revealed as you get to them).
- Scale in difficulty, loot quality, and mob levels (based on your group's highest level player - as low as 85).
- Tuned for 2-3 players and their mercenaries.
- Nameds can spawn as you progress through the task (you usually have to complete a few steps before this can happen).
- Collection items can drop from mobs in the instances, and ground spawns appear midway through tasks.
- Expected time of completion will vary by your group's makeup (anywhere from 30-90+ minutes).
- There is some variations/randomization in the task steps you'll be assigned as you progress through the task.

About Our Documentation of Heroic Adventures

- We only display task steps we know about.
--- If you encounter a step that isn't documented here, please post the details (or email us) and be sure to indicate which step number it was so that we can display it in its proper place.

TASK IN DETAIL

========================================================================
TRIGGERING THE TASK
========================================================================

You say, 'Hail, Petran Searake'

Petran Searake sighs, 'Seems your luck is as bad as mine, stranger. You without direction and me without a [catch].'

You say, 'No catch?'

Petran Searake chuckles, 'The weather being what it is, I can't rightly expect there to be an abundance catch, but I haven't caught a [fish] in days now. I suspect what little sea life remains out there is being caught up by the miserable beasts on the isle. Interested in reducing my competition? I may not have fish but I should be able to scrounge up some suiting reward for you.'

You say, 'I'll get you some fish'

Petran Searake says 'Excellent, just tell me when you're [ready] to go.'

You have been assigned the task 'Storm of Sorts'.

Petran Searake has had miserable luck catching any fish lately. He suspects his luck will improve if you reduce his competition around the island.

========================================================================
STEP #1
========================================================================

Kill the crawlers and walkers that infest the coral reef 0/18 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: The crawlers and walkers that infest the reef to the north are far more efficient fisherman than Petran. Take a few of them out so that the fish can survive their trip to the east side of the island.

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

=====================

Stop the sea goblins 0/22 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: The sea goblins to the west are uniquely adept at fishing and Petran suspects that they are his primary competition. Go reduce their population to improve his chance of finding dinner.

it's easiest to pull them to the beach. If you try from the ocean side you can often get huge numbers of adds.
They summon!
But if you keep pulling back, they will eventually follow.


If You Get This Step: Kill update.

=====================

Banish the restless undead 0/20 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: Petran has a hard time concentrating on his fishing duties with the moaning and groaning of the banshees and zombies that haunt the shipwreck just north of his perch. Reduce their numbers so he can focus on his work.

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

========================================================================
STEP #2
========================================================================

Silence the hideous sea nagas 0/9 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: The hideous nagas that intermingle with the sea goblins on the west end of the island are proving to be a problem. Petran is unsure whether the goblins are in service to these sea hags or if the snakelike women are subservient to the smarmy ocean callers. Either way, reducing their numbers can only be advantageous to improving Petran's luck in getting a bite.

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

=====================

Still the restless elementals 0/10 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: The unyielding storm that engulfs this island has empowered the previously dormant elementals. These creatures focus the powers of lava and air and make the area inhospitable to sea life. Take out either the air elementals that feed the wild winds or the lava elementals that boil the stilled ponds.

If you follow the coast around to the southwest from where you get the quest you'll find enough lava spirits to do this step. They are an easy pull once you move in close enough to avoid the other mobs.

If You Get This Step: Kill update - "a lava spirit" updates this, as does "an air spirit".

=====================

Disrupt the chaotic dervishes 0/9 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: ?

If You Get This Step: Kill update - the dervishes in the pathway through the mountain.

========================================================================
STEP #3
========================================================================

Kill a few coral or ocean serpents 0/6 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: ?

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

=====================

Take out the sirens or their seduced pirates 0/6 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: On the north end of the island is a small band of sirens and the weak-willed pirates that have fallen prey to their alluring song. Clearly these invaders sustain themselves on something and Petran suspects that their diet consists primarily of fish. Turn these creatures into churn to improve Petran's odds of finally catching his own dinner.

If you go to the far north at the coral barrier, you can pull the seduced pirates to there.

If You Get This Step: Kill update - any "a seduced _____" mob counts towards this step.

=====================

Crush a few reef crabs 0/6 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: On the south end of the island is a group of reef crabs that seem suspiciously well fed. Petrans wonders if reducing their population would increase the population of catchable fish.

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

=====================

Knock some sense into the Wardens and their Treants 0/5 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: ?

If You Get This Step: Kill update on the floating island. Warning: These mobs are a lot tougher than the general zone population. They tend to hit for the mid-20,000s range.

=====================

Kill 5 Kedge 0/5 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: As far as Petran can tell, the unceasing storm that surrounds this island is the work of the kedge arcanists that have taken refuge near the center of the island. Take a few of them out in hopes that it improves the weather and by extension the willingness for schools of delicious fish to swim near the island.

If You Get This Step: Kill update in the path through the mountain.

========================================================================
STEP #4
========================================================================

Speak to Petran Searake 0/1 (Tempest Temple)

Task Window Says: Return to Petran Searake and let him know that you have done everything he has requested of you.

If You Get This Step: Hail Petran at the zone-in to complete.

You say, 'Hail, Petran Searake'

Petran Searake smiles contentedly, 'Fine work, _____. I'm due for a fine haul now. You're welcome to [leave] whenever you please.'

Petran Searake has high hopes that fish will start biting soon!

Did this mission tonight, went looking for the collectibles at the end. Went up to the Treant Guardian area and BAM, SI and KoS. Nice train back down the path and off the island.

"Four points of shining light catch your eye." came right after the 3rd step (just before final hail).

1. Kill the crawlers and walkers that infest the coral reef. (18)
2. Still the restless elementals. (10) ("a lava spirit" gave updates, though I'm sure the air elementals work, too)
3. Take out the sirens or their seduced pirates. (6) - did not have to specifically be "pirate" ("a seduced corsair" and "a seduced druid" gave kill updates)
4. Speak to Petran Searake.

Also, after levitating waaay up high on the mountain to overlook the entire island for far too long, I found all 4 of the collectibles near each other on the floating island where Jessup Stormwind and the treants are. Of course, I've only done this mission one time, so I cannot explicitly say they will always be up there, but they were this time.

I got "Luminous Emerald," "Luminous Emerald," "Dried Healing Salve," and "Emptied Wineskin of Morning Dew" as the four collectibles. It's also worth mentioning that I got a random collectible drop from a banshee earlier on in the mission. It, too, was a "Emptied Wineskin of Morning Dew," so I got 5 collectibles in the mission - 4 as ground spawns, 1 as a drop.

I hope this helps,
MoooOOoooSE
