Swift Feet I


Barak has been on the frontline for too long to not know that sometimes the best way to win is to back off and get as far away from the danger as fast as you can. He wants Swift Feet spells to improve the swiftness of running away.


Quest text[edit]

Speak to Erelald if you need a Beginner Swift Feet I Formula.

A soldier brought me a note this morning; they were delivering it for Barak. There's a camp set up on the northern part of the island, and it seems they need a little assistance with escaping from danger. Their slowness when it comes to getting away has been causing too many casualties, so Barak placed an order for five Swift Feet spells. I'm assuming you wouldn't mind helping with this, <player>?

What's the matter? Ah, you don't have the appropriate formula. Well, here you are.


Create 5 Swift Feet I spells.

Game Feedback: Hopefully these spells will speed up the escape for when it's necessary to run away. It would be best to deliver them to Barak as soon as possible.


Deliver 5 Swift Feet I to Barak at the Cliffside Camp on the northern part of New Trismus.

Greetings, I'm assuming you're here to deliver the Swift Feet spells for my men. We fight fiercely, and our goal is to defeat the enemy, but sometimes the best tactic is a swift getaway. By creating these spells, you have saved lives, <player>. Thank you for your service.

Game Feedback: The fight for New Trismus continues, but because of your help there will be less casualties. Time to head back to Erelald to tell him you've finished your task.


Return to Pratt's Pond and speak with Erelald.

Aha, well done! Barak is a good soldier, and his men are just as sturdy. It would be a shame if we lost any of them because they were unable to escape the Withered Aegis. Here's your pay.
