Quest Description

The environmentalist Esther and the expedition team with her were set upon by monsters while performing a mountain survey, with the larger part of her survey beacons being lost in the process. She is currently looking for someone who can get them back for her...

(Talk to Esther): Esther: This is terrible... What am I going to do...; What's wrong?; Esther: It's my beacons! I've gone and left a whole load of them up on the mountain!; Esther: There's no way I can continue my research now... *sigh* And after all the money I spent on them, too...; What exactly happened?; Esther: Well, I wanted to do some research into conditions on the mountain — the climate, the environment, and so on. So, I invested in an expensive set of survey beacons.; Esther: Then, I scaled the mountain with a team of explorers. I was just putting the beacons in place when we were set upon by a huge group of monsters, they came out of nowhere...; Esther: I didn't manage to grab them all before I left. The explorers insisted that we leave immediately.; Esther: They also said they're not going back up there any time soon... But what about my beacons? The monsters will smash them to pieces!; Esther: Can you go and collect them for me? Please, I promise they're very easy to find.; Alright then...; Esther: Thank you a thousand times over! No, a million times!; What's in this for me?; Esther: Oh, uh... a reward, of course! I'll make it worth your while, I swear...; Esther: So, thanks in advance.

(Talk to Esther again): Esther: There's no way this is enough beacons to survey the whole mountain...

(Talk to Esther after retrieving the beacons)

Esther: Did you find my beacons?

I did indeed.

Esther: Let me see... Yes, these are the ones, alright!

Esther: Ugh, look at the state of them... Those monsters clearly weren't gentle with them. But thankfully, they're not completely ruined.

Esther: *sigh* Still, I guess I won't be using them in the near future... Ah, can't be helped. I will have to make do with a smaller-scale survey...

Esther: I have some other beacons here. Could you set them up on the mountain for me?

Where exactly?

Esther: ...Is that a yes? I'll take that as a yes! Thanks! I'll mark the spots on the map for you.

Why can't you do it yourself?

Esther: I don't dare... If not even a whole team of explorers could stand up to those monsters, I'm certainly not going back up there alone.

Esther: I can't find any other explorers planning a trip up there at the moment, but I also can't delay this indefinitely.

Esther: So, you're the only choice I've got. Seeing as you managed to fetch my beacons back so effortless last time, I think you're more than up to the task.

Esther: Thanks once again. I'll be sure to compensate you well!

Esther: Wait, let me mark the locations on the map for you...

Esther: ...There. I've marked them all out. Just put the beacons in those general areas.

Esther: Make sure to put them up in high spots. The higher the altitude, the more accurate the survey.

(Talk to Esther again): Esther: This beacon is useless... So's this one...

Step Description

You've helped Esther retrieve her lost survey beacons, but she once again requests your help in planting a new batch of beacons across the mountain...

(Report back to Esther after placing new beacons): Esther: Are all the beacons in place?; Yes.; Esther: Wonderful, that is an enormous help. Take these — along with my thanks, once again, for everything.; Esther: Ugh, with so few beacons for the survey, who knows if I'll be able to turn up anything of interest...
