Draconic for Dummies

Additional requirements to obtain this quest:
Find Narain Soothfancy's book, buried on an island in the South Seas.

Description

I knew that book would come in handy some day! Thankfully, I had the wit and foresight to stow it somewhere safe.

Don't worry, it's in a place that nobody could ever hope to find it! I needed a gyrocopter just to get there the first time. Unfortunately I crashed it on the beach on my way back. It was through that accident that I gained these super-gnomish psychic powers!

Look for my crashed gyrocopter somewhere on Land's End Beach and swim south from there! You'll know the spot when you see it!

First you need to get the Ransom note for the stolen copy of Draconic for Dummies, it is in a pile of dirt on the island. It is on the furthest of the two islands in the middle of the island.

Getting to the island is a chore as you have to cross fatigue waters, it can be done with some swim speed potions if you are a healer or there is a quest that will give you a swim speed buff.

The NPC for this quest is in the water south of the crashed Gyrocopter, it is a female Naga and she is on the sea floor. Take her love letter back to Narian and she will grant you the swim speed when you return. As soon as you have the buff get moving!

what you want to do is go down to the beach. when you find the plane/copter thing, start heading south, when you enter the water and start swimming look down and you will see Meridith the Mermaidian who will give you a quest. she is not very far from the beach so keep an eye out. once you return the love letter to the gnome by steamwheedle go back to her and she will give you the buff that will allow you to get to the island.
