This is the "Tree within a Tree" quest

The quest giver is Oracle Ulinara in the Oracle Tower. I was able to recieve this at Level 20 Adventurer class / 23 Armorer. I was NOT able to get it at 19 Adventurer / 23 Armorer.

---------------------------------------------------------

Quest text:

Oracle Ulinara says to you,"It appeared in the Karma Pool. While I was in trance I saw it. So... beautiful"

You say,'You saw what?"

Oracle Ulinara says to you,"I am sorry, but we have having a private meeting. This is no concern of yours."

You say,'Fine. I'll be on my way."

Oracle Ulinara says to you,"Wait! Please do not go. You... you may be of use to us. I want to find the tree and confirm its location. Unfortunately, I must remain here in the tower with my studies. Would you please help me?"

You say,'I suppose I could. Where should I look?"

Oracle Ulinara says to you,"When I peered into the Karma Pool, I saw a constellation of the stars that told me where the tree could be found. Go to the heart of a region called the Thundering Steppes, near the natives. You will seek a tree within a tree -- one dead and one alive. When you find it, take a Golden Acorn from its branches and return to me.'

-------------------------------------------------------

Mini-Quest Journal says: I must find the tree in the Thundering Steppes.

Travel to the Thundering Steppes. I suggest using the Steppes Station entrance - Its far safer than the other. Travel along the path. You'll notice the path turn to the left once. Pass it up. Another left turn is up ahead where the tower is. Take this turn, and travel past Bridge Keep.

Again, keep along the path once you are past the bridge. Once you see a tower, turn right into the open field, and follow the mountains on your right. You should pass through a small valley, and onto a bridge. Once past the bridge, you should see the dead trees, which look more like they've been axed by the local giants. Approach the lone living tree to get your quest update.

Location: Pos 594.94, Pos 17.21, Pos 427.22
Orientation: Pos 315.97, 0, 0.

Quest Update: I need to give this Acorn to Ulinara.

Backtrack to Antonica and take the griffon to Oracle Tower. Or Recall to Qeynos and use the Qeynos Gate Griffon. Meet up with Oracle Ulinara.

-------------------------------------------------------

Quest Text:


Oracle Ulinara says to you,"It appeared in the Karma Pool. While I was in trance I saw it. So... Beautiful."

You say,"I found the tree and brought back a golden acorn like you asked."

Oracle Ulinara says to you,"Thank you so much. You have succeeded wonderfully. This is the very acorn from my vision; it is exactly what I saw. Will you please do one more thing for me? Will you please mark on this map the location of the tree? Then I will give you, in return, a recipe for making a magic food with the Golden Acorn"

You say,"The spot should be right here if I remember correctly."

I have not made an acorn yet so the effects are unknown.

EDIT: I have some screenshots of the recipe book, the recipe, and the product if they are needed. I posted about this recipe when beta ended, but I didn't have much detail, so I made extra sure to get as much info as I could this time.

Thanks! This sounds like a wonderful thing for my characters to dream about achieving.

That's cool. It kinda has some parallels in a fanfic story I wrote on my character background. I posted the story here (http://www.gamerfables.com/StoryHome.aspx?Story=1829) for your enjoyment.

i've recently finished this quest, and i have yet to find an acorn from any harvesting i've done from noob to TS/Nek. One would assume acorns are tier 3 since the build components are tier3 also. Is this possibly a Rare harvest from the shrubbery?

Ground/item spawn from the quest location at the tree? Has anyone looked around there. I finished the quest a few days ago, this quest is a cake for the situationally aware adventurer or a player of higher level than 22.

Someone asked what Tier this quest is, based on the use of Thykaloid Oil, it's Tier 3 (we Alchemists use Tier 3 resources to make Thykaloid Oil/Wash/Resins).

based on the build components, it is a tier 3 recipe. it actaully has a skill requirement of like 50 in cooking(level 9 in my book) so that all tradeskillers can make the recipe.

Examining the savory golden acorn reveals that it is a level 30 (Tier 3) superior satiation food that lasts 50 minutes. However, anyone who has completed the quest and examined the reward can make this -- maybe not very well but doable.

Has anyone found a acorn yet? I thinik the Centar Foragers that surround the tree might drop it. That kind of makes sense to me. Can anyone confirm this?
