Background

You’ll receive this quest from Mitza in Moonrise (#1).

Walkthrough

Mitza will tell you about a flowering tree in the Astral Mountains that produces a sap with wonderful healing properties. However, she won’t want you to bring her some of the sap; instead, she’ll ask you to retrieve a nut from the tree so she can grow her own tree in Moonrise and have an unlimited supply of the sap.

Reaching the Astral Mountains is difficult because all of the overland routes there have been blocked off. So to get there, you’ll have to make your way through Omentor Temple, which is located in the Valley of the Wanderer.

Once you reach the Astral Mountains, you’ll find the flowering tree in Warlord’s Pass (#2). When you click on it, you’ll be allowed to take an Astral Blossom Nut. But be careful — looting the tree will cause two Lancer Spiders to spawn behind you.

When you deliver the nut to Mitza, she’ll reward you with 1000 gp, a Sparkling Divinity potion, and 2500 xp.
