In Bloom

Obtain 5 Flame Blossoms.

• Flame Blossom x5

It is customary for new recruits to be sent on a difficult or sometimes impossible task. I was sent to obtain a black dragon's scale; last year's instructors demanded a feather from a phoenix.

Your lot has it relatively easy. Find me a handful of flame blossoms.

They grow around here in relative abundance. Oh, right. There will be a gigantic core hound roaming the fields to keep things interesting. Do your best to avoid him.

You will receive:

Yes, damus?

So you managed to pass this part of the test without getting yourself eaten by Smolderos or being incinerated by the fire elementals?

I suppose I should congratulate you on ascending the lowest rung of our ladder.

Well... congratulations, recruit!

Pick up Trial By Fire and Waste of Flesh before heading out. Plenty of Flame Blossoms are all over the area.
