This solo task begins with Archarcanist Pintanus at location -100, +80, +8 in Katta Castrum (the port-in level).
You say, 'Hail, Archarcanist Pintanus'
Archarcanist Pintanus is looking at some small pieces of broken pottery through a magnifying glass as you approach. He turns towards you, still looking through the magnifying glass and jumps back, startled. 'Ahh! Oh sorry, _____. I didn't see you there. I was just examining these [artifacts]. Are you perhaps looking for [work]?'
You say, 'What artifacts?'
Archarcanist Pintanus says 'I'm sorry, what did you say? If you can't speak clearly please do not expect me to pay attention to what you have to say! Now let me get back to Tactician Sodut's report. The Shissar have been far too active of late for me to be bothered about anything else.'
You say, 'I'm looking for WORK'
Archarcanist Pintanus says 'I've been tasked by the Combine empire to study the inhabitants of the various habitats throughout the city. One such habitat in Zhisza that I've been studying for a long time appears to have two species of animals that are evolving to overcome their inhabitants. I would like to find adventurers who would be [interested] in observing these animals and bringing back specimens for me to study. I also have another [task] that I've been assigned to complete within the next few days if you are interested.'
You say, 'I am interested'
You have been assigned the task 'Adapting to the Environment'.
Archarcanist Pintanus says 'Yes, it appears that the beetles and insects in the Zhisza Habitat are evolving and I would like a more careful study conducted on this phenomenon. Go there and investigate and return with some specimens for me to study.'
Archarcanist Pintanus has asked you to kill several of the various insects in Zhisza. He would also like you to bring back samples.
Kill ten beetles 0/10 (Zhisza, the Shissar Sanctuary)
Kill ten insects 0/10 (Zhisza, the Shissar Sanctuary)
Beetles and insects are found all over Zhisza. Be warned that while they are not KOS, they are very social once aggro'd.
Loot three beetle wings 0/3 (Zhisza, the Shissar Sanctuary)
Loot three insect mandibles 0/3 (Zhisza, the Shissar Sanctuary)
Turn in the parts you have collected to Archanist Pintanus 0/3 (Katta Castrum)
Turn in the parts you have collected to Archanist Pintanus 0/3 (Katta Castrum)
Archmagus Pintanus tells you, 'Well done ______. It appears that there are [other] animals in the Zhisza habitat that are evolving as well. If you are interested, I would like these studied as well.'
Archarchanist Pintanus takes the samples and carefully files them. 'Excellent, these samples will prove most useful in determining the nature of these creatures. I only hope we can divine something useful from the information we find.'
