It’s Time for Action

Quest Giver: Gerald Green, Farshire [58, 62]

Turn In: Gerald Green

Objective: Kill 14 Plagued Scavenger

Quick Facts

• Prerequisite: Pernicious Evidence
• Follow-Up: Fruits of Our Labor
• Minimum Level: 68

Plagued Scavenger Locations

• The Plagued Scavengers are spread throughout Farshire, concentrated around [56, 60].
• Many spawn along the rails leading to the mine entrance.
• They’re abundant and respawn quickly, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding enough even with other players in the area.

Efficiency Tips

• This quest pairs well with Take No Chances (burn grain sacks) and Reference Material (retrieve a book from a burning building), as all three take place in the same area. Pick up all available quests from the Farshire survivors before heading out.
• The Scavengers sometimes cluster in small groups of 2-3. AoE abilities are useful but not essential.

Lore Context

• Gerald Green’s resolve shines through despite the hopelessness: “With the last of our military in Farshire dead or worse, we can do but one thing: fight these Scourge ourselves.”
• The farmers and miners have formed a militia to defend their homes. These aren’t soldiers; they’re ordinary people who refused to flee.
• The completion text is grimly realistic: “You’ve communicated with the Scourge in the only language they understand: violence and death. Unfortunately they just keep coming!” This isn’t a victory, just a brief reprieve.
