Walkthrough

  • Speak to Travonce in Tavnazian Safehold at (F-9). He will speak about catching "The Big One".
  • Zone out of the Safehold into Lufaise Meadows (Southeast Exit) between 13:00-16:00.
  • Do not talk to Travonce until all party members are in the area.
    • The level cap for this quest is 45.
    • Trust magic is not usable.
    • High level helpers cannot cast on the capped players or the monsters Travonce fishes up.

Escorting

  • This is hands down the most poorly pathed escort quest. It is possible to time out and fail just because Travonce gets stuck on something. Prepare for frustration.
    • It may be the case that he's not stuck and is waiting for the player positions around him to be perfect, but he looks stuck.
  • His first stop will be on the bridge. He will fish up at least one Notorious Monster. Kill it for him.
  • He will then head to the sea. Kill any orcs on the way.
  • Kill any more Notorious Monsters he fishes up.
  • Eventually he moves on to a lake to the north.
  • He will fish up three more Notorious Monsters. Kill all three of them.
  • He will eventually fish up The Big One, which is a Flesh monster. Kill it and he will give you Key Item Travonce's escort award.
  • Speak to Travonce in Tavnazian Safehold at (F-9) for your reward.
