This is the Third quest in the Tempest Festival series from Rand Tanlonikan.

You can obtain this task from Rand Tanlonikan in Barren Coast. He is found at /waypoint -169.02, -62.74, 4.80 in barren coast at the merchant camp.


You say, 'Hail, Rand Tanlonikan'

Rand Tanlonikan says, 'Hey Vumad. I was cleaning this pearl and noticed that there's something [wrong with it]. Did you look at it?'

You say, 'I didn't notice anything wrong with it.'

Rand Tanlonikan says, 'Maybe cleaning off all the sea debris allowed the power within it to start [creeping] out.'

You say, 'Well, no one wants a creeping pearl.'

Rand Tanlonikan says, 'I feel like this pearl has put a real damper on the festival. Could you investigate its [origin]?'

You say, 'I can investigate its origin.'

Rand Tanlonikan says, 'Then you will be needing this back.'

You have been assigned the task 'Lessons of Madness'.

Rand gives you a Corrupted Siren's Pearl that has 20 charges of Veil of Corruption: Places the veil that may hide corrupted magic.




While cleaning the siren's pearl, Rand discovered it has been corrupted with magic. Rand doesn't think the assault by the sirens was done intentionally. He wants you to investigate where the magic is coming from.

    Quest Text: As you hold the pearl tightly in the palm in your hand, you feel its magic pulling you to the northeast. The pearl has become too hot to hold, submerse it into the water to cool it down.

    Rand Tanlonikan says, 'A Scrykin you say? How unusual. It must have been really confused and caught up in the storms. It's a shame they don't eat normal food. It could have joined us for the feast.'

    Rand thinks that the storms brought by the Tempest Festival confused the scrykins and drove them off course. Too bad that they couldn't share in the feast and the joy of the storms.

    There was a bug at some point at the end where multiple people doing quest at the same tame can mess up the final steps.

    I had this problem. I'm not so sure it is a bug as much as an oversight in the mechanic to prevent the issues in previous quests where 1 mob would spawn for everyone with the task. This same sort of mechanic is in place in quest 1 where everyone in the group gets credit for killing the siren even if they are not on that step yet.

    The problem is, When the second Scryin (sp?) dies, your clicky corrupted pearls are converted to non-clicky purified pearls (not the correct names), so those people can no longer click for updates. It is important that everyone in the group has completed all steps up to defeating the scyrins before the scryins die, otherwise, they lose their pearl and can not get the clicks. I don't know if he will give you a replacement pearl. I dropped and redid the quest.

    Getting the click updates can be frustrating. I found that clicking and then moving around the immediate area of the previous update would trigger the update, like you needed to complete both the click and a location check and if the click didn't work you have to move around a little bit to get the location part to trigger.
