[[Sekai the Mapmaker]] needs you to explore four areas in the [[Echovald Forest]] so he can update his maps.

== Quest information ==
=== Objectives ===
* Explore [[Arborstone (explorable area)|Arborstone]] for Sekai the Mapmaker. You have [5...0] places left to visit.
* Explore [[Ferndale]]. You have [5...0] places left to visit.
* Explore [[Melandru's Hope]]. You have [5...0] places left to visit.
* Explore [[Drazach Thicket]]. You have [5...0] places left to visit.
* See Sekai the Mapmaker for your reward.

=== Reward ===
* 5,000 [[Experience]]
* 500 [[Kurzick faction|Kurzick Faction]]
* 200 [[Gold]]
* [[Imperial Commendation]]

== Walkthrough ==
The order of the explorable areas you go through doesn't matter. Simply get to each green marker to complete the quest. For exact locations of the markers, see the maps to the right - the order of the locations does not matter. Each area is easiest to start from the following outposts:
*For Arborstone start from [[Altrumm Ruins]].
*For Ferndale start from [[House zu Heltzer]].
*For Melandru's Hope start from [[Lutgardis Conservatory]].
**In this area, there are several groups that have wide ranged patrol areas that overlap. Due to this, they can overwhelm unprepared/unobservant players. It is best to watch their patrol paths and engage them where they don't overlap.
*For Drazach Thicket start from [[Brauer Academy]] northern exit.

Do '''not''' leave an area before finding all five marker locations, otherwise you will have to restart that explorable area.

== Dialogue ==
=== Initial dialogue ===
;Sekai the Mapmaker
:''"Word has it that you have explored the forests and met with the Kuzicks there. I have a proposition for you. Since the Jade Wind changed the landscape, no one has gone through and drafted new maps. One could make a fortune selling updated charts to willing adventurers! If you consider yourself up to the challenge, go scout '''Echovald Forest''' and give me the information I need for my maps. I shall make it worth your while."''
:''"What do you say?"''
{{offer dialog
| accept = I could use a tour of the area. I'll do it.
| decline = Not interested.
| ask = Please explore '''Arborstone''', '''Ferndale''', '''Melandru's Hope''', and '''Drazach Thicket''' for me. I would go myself, but I doubt these old bones of mine are up for the task.
}}

=== Reward dialogue ===
;Sekai the Mapmaker
:''"Thank you very much. This information will make for a wonderful map."''

==Notes==
*Several quests that give [[Kurzick faction]] for [[Befriending the Kurzicks]] are located in the areas you have to explore and may be done while you visit the five places.
*One method to complete this quest is to [[vanquish]] all the listed areas, since a vanquish pretty much requires you to sweep the entire area.
**Consider waiting until the [[Zaishen Vanquish]] Challenge quest of each corresponding area is available.
