A Tour of the Commonlands

Walkthrough

This quest is initiated by reading the book Bootstrutter's Field Guide to the Commonlands. This item is a rare drop on various mobs in Commonlands (confirmed on Vulriches, Carrion Hound Pups, Elephants, Beetles and Bloodskulls). This quest requires you to view various landmarks in the zone. You need to enter a small trigger area at the landmark which will advance the quest.
