    Tabron Caulria may be found in the fort at 5075, -1025, 125. You must first have completed the task "Salving Grace."

    You say, 'Hail, Tabron Caulria'

    Tabron Caulria says 'Hello again outlander. As I mentioned to you before, your efforts have been well received by others here in Oceangreeen. Your assistance has been requested by Garvin Windrunner and Bronal Caldran. Seek them out if you wish. May Karana watch over you. Of course if you still wish to assist with this horrible [plague] I would not refuse!'

    You say, 'What plague?'

    Tabron Caulria says 'The curing of this pestilence is my highest order. Karana demands it!'

    You have been assigned the task 'Test The Waters'

    Tabron Caulria suspects the source of the plague cannot be natural to the area since all creatures large and small seem to be affected equally. To confirm his suspicions, he requests that you collect samples from the various bodies of water around the area. Tabron has requested samples from the ocean and the small pond near Oceangreen Village. He also needs a sample from the lake to the southwest as well as from the pond within the glade to the west. Return to Tabron once you have collected the samples.

    Pick up Tabron Caulria's special vials from Morris Olberson in Oceangreen Village 0/1 (Oceangreen Village)

    Morris Olberson may be found at -2545, 260.

    You say, 'Tabron sent me.'

    You receive Tabron's Vial Pouch, a 4-slot container containing four vials you'll need:

    - An empty vial labeled "Glade Water"
    - An empty vial labeled "Lake Water"
    - An empty vial labeled "Pond Water"
    - An empty vial labeled "Sea Water"

    You don't need the bag after you first receive it, but keep the vials.


    Collect a sample of water from the ocean near Oceangreen Village 0/1 (Oceangreen Village)

    Collect a sample of water from the lake in Oceangreen Hills 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

    Collect a sample of water from the pond near Oceangreen Village 0/1 (Oceangreen Village)

    Collect a sample of water from the glade in Oceangreen Hills 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

    You can collect the samples in any order. Simply go close enough to the water (or into it) and click the appropriate vial from your inventory to obtain:

    - Vial of glade water
    - Vial of lake water
    - Vial of pond water
    - Vial of Sea Water


    These are the click locations:

    In Oceangreen Hills:
    Lake = 3525, 1050, -14
    Glade = 5965, -10, -18

    In Oceangreen Village:
    Ocean = -2760, 895, -50
    Pond = -2400, 80, 5

    Deliver the water sample from the ocean to Tabron Caulria 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

    Deliver the water sample from the lake to Tabron Caulria 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

    Deliver the water sample from the pond to Tabron Caulria 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

    Deliver the water sample from the glade to Tabron Caulria 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

    Tabron hopes the water samples will unlock the secret of this horrible plague. He heartily thanks you for your help, and mentions expressing his opinions of your work to many less trusting of outsiders such as yourself! Garvin Windrunner and Sergeant Cadran have expressed interest in putting you to work. He suggests you speak with them if you haven't already.

    Your faction standing with Bayle's Irregulars got better.
    Your faction standing with Residents of the Glade got better.
    Your faction standing with Oceangreen Residents got better.

    Tabron Caulria examines the water and nods approvingly.

    Your faction standing with Cirtan, Bayle's Herald got better.
    You have successfully been granted your reward for: Test The Waters

    Reward:
    Crest Keep Tower Frame
    15 Chronobines
    Experience
    Faction with Cirtan, Bayle's Herald

    I have just completed. "Does this look Infected" and "Salving Grace" and he doesn't offer me "Test the Waters". All he is offering is the 2 tasks I've already done? Am I doing something wrong?

    Now that I've actually done the quest, the faction rewards are as follows, meaning the listed hits are incorrect (when no faction bonus event is active and no faction potion is used):

    Bayle's Irregulars +51
    Residents of the Glade +5
    Oceangreen Residents +5
    Cirtan, Bayle's Herald +10

    This quest is completed in 2 zones (OGH and OGV).

    This quest is completed by getting water from 2 sources in the Village and 2 in the Hills (2 zones). The sites in the Village zone are easy. If you just right click each bottle and it will tell you what location that bottle is for. If you click the wrong bottle - it will tell you "you can't use that bottle in this location."

    The other thing to look out for - is that the Treants and creatures at the location in the North of Oceangreen Hills are UNDEAD. They will see invis - but do not see vs IVU (invis vs undead). As you go into the water you will see some bears in the caves - but they were apprehensive to me (I am Indifferent to Citran now) - so I am not sure what faction they are on -but they were not aggro to me. They are clearly living - so they will be able to see you in the water.

    To use your bottles I used them like I would any potion - and they change color to show that they have completed their transformation. You return just the bottles (not the container) to Tabron.

    I hope this helps.

    Nethor.

    I suspect people are having problems with this quest because each of the vials is different. If like me you do not realise this it can result in lots of wasted clicks. Check you have the right vial 1st and it is a whole lot easier.

    Pond is EAST of Village and you need to get off your mount and go right into middle and do this so it works first time!
    PS No Barracudas in the pond!!

    You can get the quest again if you do Tabron #2 again. That will reopen/allow Tabron #3 again. Seems to be a unexpected feature of this line of quests.

    sea water sample is by the beach in village
    pond water is at the pond east of village
    glade water is near the old surefall glade in hills, by the infected treants and blackbriars
    lake water is the big lake southwest of the glade

    take the appropriate vial and right click it in one of your inventory slots when you get near the water. if you get an error message along the lines of 'you cannot use that here' or whatever, just run around to another spot by the water and try again.

    This quest appears to be non-repeatable. Even though I did the pre-quests again after launch, Tabron will not give me this quest now. Those of us who did the quests during the preview are stuck waiting until the new "quest-piece-NPC" is implemented in order to attempt the combines for the big "Crest" quest.

    For glade water, at the north end of OGH is a cave that has treants and a waterfall. Go in invis, get in the middle of the lake, and click the vial...then run/evac/whatever because the treants will be all over you as soon as you go vis on the click.

    Actually, all the treants and shrubs in the glade are undead, so bound to see you if you just use invis.

    I don't know why folks are talking about evac or other drastic measures to get the glade water. I went in the cave at the north end of the hills, followed it to the glade, got Invis vs Undead and swam across the pool through the waterfall and into the bear cave. The bears were apprehensive. So then I just swam slowly out into the pool, clicking on the vial. IVU didn't drop until the click actually worked, and at that loc (+5978, -13) there was no aggro from the undead vs a level 79. Reinvis or gate out, what's the problem?
