Act VI – Healers Quest

The Mysterious Healer is still in need of your assistance in preparing cures for the great Gargish Blight.  There are still two weeks before the cure must be administered into the populace.  After the Cure event is finished we will post the total number of cures turned in for each shard. The Mysterious Healer in Ter Mur can be found at the makeshift healers colony at the Riverside Fishing Village.   Happy Experimenting!
