The Istarian Zoological Society is looking for specimens and Balaerix thinks the Scorpix Spawns can be tamed and is willing to teach it to you.

Quest text[edit]

Balaerix tells you, Hail, friend. I am Balaerix and I am a curator for the newly formed Istarian Zoological Society. Have you heard of us? No? *he looks crestfallen* Well, I suppose I should have expected it. *he smiles* We are newly formed after all. What is our purpose? Well, I'm glad you asked!

Balaerix tells you, The I.Z.S. was formed for the purpose of documenting and collecting specimens of the indigenous species found throughout Istaria. Myself and others have traveled across the land seeking out the rare, dangerous, and beautiful creatures that can be found.

Balaerix tells you, Which brings me to this remote oasis! Dangerous, yes, but there are creatures here that are amazing and unique... One in particular, the Spawn of Scorpix, intrigues me. I first came here and, as you can see, captured one for examination.

Balaerix tells you, What I discovered, however, was that they can potentially be tamed. What a powerful ally they might become, don't you think? I am no warrior, <player>. The one here beside me was captured by sheer luck and happenstance.

Balaerix tells you, You, however, can venture out into the canyons themselves and capture another. *he waves his hands, mutters a phrase, and you see a brief spark of light as he casts a spell on you* Now, go forth and tame a Spawn of Scorpix.

Balaerix tells you, You did it! Fascinating, <player>. Here, let me check it. *he bends down and examines the creature* Yes, yes, this one is truly tamed. Amazing. Keep the I.S.Z. in mind as you travel, perhaps we will meet again.

Steps[edit]

  • Listen to Balaerix
  • Tame a Spawn of Scorpix from the Canyons of Mellohndar (loot Spawn of Scorpix)
