Dialogue

Field Archivist Cierle—step 2

Hello, Wayfinder. What can this humble archivist help you with?

I'm here to investigate the wayward wisp.

Delightful! Your help would be much appreciated. My initial observations suggest our wandering wisp is manifesting regularly within this region.

How can I help?

Scouting parties have reported seeing the wisp after battle... It seems it may be drawn to interesting events. Perhaps a bit of heroism in the area on your part may pique its curiosity?

I'll do my best to draw it forth.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

It looks like the ongoing survey could use a hand! Are you free to help? (Same as below)

Good-bye.

Field Archivist Cierle, after completing The Wayward Wisp: Wisp Sighting—step 4

Hello, Wayfinder. What can this humble archivist help you with?

I've seen the wisp briefly several times, but it quickly faded away.

Most forest spirits flit about, but this one seems to have a more tenuous connection to Tyria still. Perhaps it's a consequence of the local Mistburn?

Is there a way to help it?

For that, I've called in a local spirit expert, Valiant Aria. I trust she can help you make closer contact with this prodigal traveler.

You've been following up with the kodan?

Though we caretakers of the Wizard's Vault might prefer a light touch, the Astral Ward has been revealed to Tyria, which greatly eases these investigations. And I'm always happy to chip in, of course.

Okay, I'll have a chat with Valiant Aria.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

So, you're a member of the Wizard's Vault? (Same as below)

Can I really keep what I recover on this investigation? (Same as below)

Good-bye.

Valiant Aria—step 5

Yes?

Cierle mentioned you might know how to help our local wisp?

Wisps are much like us, they are. If it's hurt, reach out to support it.

To do that, I'll need to find it again.

When scared, cubs may hide to seek comfort. Security. Though the land aches, my kin suggest there are still several resonant natural landmarks that might offer refuge. I'll mark them on your map.

If the wisp hides at these places, how should I reach out?

Your journeykin is quite observant. When you arrive, hold still a moment. Draw a breath, listen, and sniff well. Often, frightened friends just need to know you're there for them.

Okay. My warclaw and I will reach out to the wisp at those natural places. (Open the The Wayward Wisp: Wisp Outreach panel)

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

What are wisps actually? (Same as below)

You share wisdom with members of the Wizard's Vault? (Same as below)

Valiant Aria! Thanks for your previous help with trolls and wisps. (Same as below)

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

Valiant Aria, after completing The Wayward Wisp: Wisp Outreach—step 7

Yes?

Great news! My warclaw and I found the wisp at those refuges.

And now it appears it's following you? Glorious! Hello, brave little seedling, I'm Valiant Aria. You two reach well toward harmony, though your alignment remains partial.

How can we improve our bond?

Share beautiful experiences together! I might start with tea, but, there's also a rare and potent wilderness in the Hidden Sacrarium, untamed even by the mursaat. Travel there and commune together.

We will! Thank you.

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

Mistburned Barrens Insight: Hidden Sacrarium—step 8

You have reached a locus of power.

Bond with the wayward wisp.

You've gained all you can from this place of power.

Field Archivist Cierle—step 9

Field Archivist Cierle: Hello, Wayfinder. What can this humble archivist help you with?

I've stabilized the mysterious wisp! And it seems to have bonded with me.

Field Archivist Cierle: How fascinating! Well, it seems to have posed no notable threat in the end. Vivienne may be a bit put out by the lack of a calamity to secure, but I'll simply say all's well that ends well.

I'll ensure its safety. Thanks for the help!

Valiant Aria: Congratulations, little cub! Here's hoping you two grow well together.

Thank you!

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

So, you're a member of the Wizard's Vault?

Can I really keep what I recover on this investigation?

Good-bye.

Subsequent interactions with Field Archivist Cierle

Hello, Wayfinder. What can this humble archivist help you with?

So, you're a member of the Wizard's Vault?

The Astral Ward, really—tending the vault is simply a role within it. But yes, I'm focused on investigation and recovery. To maintain a low profile, that happens through cooperators like yourself.

I don't mind a bit of collaboration on treasure hunting.

Can I really keep what I recover on this investigation?

As long as it's not too dangerous, according to the grand archivist. The vault isn't just about hoarding relics—we also put them in the right hands at the right time.

I'm lucky to be on your good side, then.

It looks like the ongoing survey could use a hand! Are you free to help?

If it looks like our people are too endangered, I'll use a few methods to get them to safety. But isn't this small crisis also a good chance for you to catch attention from our wisp target?

Right. I'll see what I can do.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Subsequent interactions with Valiant Aria

Yes?

What are wisps actually?

If time and tides allow, you should ask them. While I may know more about them than many, I still know not nearly enough.

Fair enough.

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

You share wisdom with members of the Wizard's Vault?

Wisdom shared is life well lived. Plus, I have enjoyed sharing time with your patient sky watcher.

Thank you for sharing.

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

Valiant Aria! Thanks for your previous help with trolls and wisps.

Likewise! It's always a pleasure to connect kindred spirits.

How is Stalwart Heart?

She remains good company! She knows good stories, and she appreciates great tea. Thank you for introducing us.

That's great! It's always a pleasure to connect kindred spirits.

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

Absolutely.

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

Hold on, I have to take care of something.

Notes

Bug:

On step 4, Valiant Aria will already have a collection icon overhead even though the related dialogue isn't available yet.

Anomaly:

Step 8 is completed immediately as the channel at the Mastery Insights starts, instead of when it is completed.
