About this quest
Veos has a client on the mainland who wants to know about Great Kourend, and asks you to tour its five cities and write down what you find. There is no combat and no real difficulty; the quest is a guided introduction to a continent most players otherwise never visit.
It is short, but it gates a surprising amount. Several Kourend activities and the Arceuus spellbook line sit behind it, and the tour itself is the fastest way to learn where everything on Zeah actually is.
Why do it: It opens Great Kourend properly, and it is a requirement for the Kourend favour activities and the quests that follow — including the route to the Arceuus spellbook.
Walkthrough
01Veos and the scroll
- 1
Talk to Veos at the northernmost dock in Port Sarim, by the Rusty Anchor, and sail to Great Kourend.
- 2
Speak to him again in Port Piscarilius and ask about quests. He gives you an enchanted scroll.
- 3
Use a feather on the scroll to make an enchanted quill.
- Feather
02The five cities
Piscarilius, Hosidius, Shayzien, Lovakengj and Arceuus. Each has a general store, and the store is where the information is.
- 1
Start with Piscarilius, since you are already there, then plan the rest as a single loop rather than five separate trips.
- 2
Visit each city's general store and record what you learn with the quill.
03The Dark Altar
- 1
Report back and you are given a mysterious orb.
- 2
Take it to the Dark Altar north of Arceuus and activate it. It shatters — that is supposed to happen.
- 3
Finish by speaking to Veos in Port Piscarilius, not in Port Sarim.
The Port Sarim version of Veos will not complete the quest. Sail back rather than talking to him on the mainland — this catches people out at the very last step.
What to do next
Kourend favour is now worth building. Each of the five houses unlocks different activities, and Hosidius in particular gates the farming and fishing content most players want.
The Arceuus spellbook line starts here too, and further along it sits some of the most useful utility magic in the game.
