Welcome to the Nursery! If you've decided to try on the Fae as your chosen class, then you've been dropped here, in the Nursery! Since you don't have the luxury of learning the ropes on a newbie Island like the Qeynosians and Freeporters do, you'll want to think of the Nursery area as sort of the fae island. In this one little area, you pretty much have all that you need to learn how to play your new character, and for getting started in the big wide world of Norrath.

You'll start out your adventure in the Nursery with the Matron of the Nursery. She stands right behind where you spawn into the world upon birth. She will give you the first series of quests in this area!

Infestation! (level 1) - Get rid of the shrumbler worms that are eating the spirit blooms. The Shrumblers are found directly to the east and west of the Matron. Reward: Copper and an armor piece.

Running off the Grobin Scouts (level 2) - Slay a few grobin scouts down by the Amethyst Pond, found directly southwest of the Matron, across the path. Reward: Copper.

Grobin Trouble at the Pond (level 3) - The Matron now asks you to take care of some of the grobin polluters at the Amethyst Pond. These spawn in the water near where you found the scouts. Reward: Copper.

Herbs of Healing and Growth (level 3) - You must gather herbs from the nearby plants. I found these plants mostly around the big tree just west of the Matron. Reward: Copper and a weapon.

Message From the Matron (level 4) - The Matron gives you the task of carrying a message to Sentry Trillis. He is found atop a climbable tree just south of Amethyst Pond. Speaking with him completes this quest series given by the Matron. Reward: Coin.

Sentry Trillis' Report (level 4) - After completing the quests from the Matron, this quest will continue the storyline. Take Sentry Trillis' status report to Captain Steelforge. Steelforge is found outside the cave directly to the west of Trillis. Reward: Coin.

Spelunking for Spelunkle (level 5) - Captain Steelforge takes over for this part of the Nursery storyline. He asks you to go find Scout Spelunkle who is somewhere inside of the Drippy Caves. Spelunkle is just down in the caves in a little nook.

Source of the Shrumbler Eggs (level 6) - You have found the source of the shrumbler eggs, and now you must put it to an end! Find the queen within Drippy Caves, defeat her, then report your success back to Captain Steelforge. The Shrumbler Queen can be found at loc 124, -51, -355, and is a level 6 solo mob. Return to the Captain for your reward! Reward: Coin.

Steelforge will now send you out of the Nursery to continue other quests in the main part of Greater Faydark, so think of this as leaving the island. But there are still a few more quests in the Nursery that you might want to pick up as you do the main storyline quests!

Bee Swatter (level 2) - Ami Augren, found on the path not too far from the Matron, is scared of some bees! Kill a few to make Ami stop crying. The stingswarm buzzers are found around the nearby rocks.

Broken Buttons (level 3) Ami asks you to take her coat with the missing buttons to her mother, Sua Augren, who is up the path towards the Matron. Reward: Coin and a neck or ear item.

Dollnapping! (level 4) - After speaking with Sua Augren, she tells you that a bixie stole Ami's doll and she asks you to get it back. The bixie's name is Yellowjacket, and he is found south of Sua. He's a level 4 solo mob. Take the doll back to Ami for reward. Reward: Coin and your choice of armor items.

Growler Pelts for Brink (level 4) - Brink, who is found sitting atop a log near the Matron, needs for you to gather growler hides. The growlers are found just west of Brink. Take the gathered pelts back to Brink! Reward: Coin, your choice or earring or bow.

Spider Silk for Brink (level 4) - After completing Brinks previous quest, you are offered this one. Collect spider silk from the spiders who live further west from the growlers. Return them to Brink. Reward: Coin, and your choice of legplates or waist piece.

Shells of Protection (level 5) - Continuing tasks for Brink, this time he asks for shells from crabs and turtles from the shore. These are found on the beach to the east of Brink. Reward: Coin and spaulders.

Anytime you are just starting out a character, it's best to do all the quests that you find. This helps out a lot in getting started with experience and gets your feet wet in regards to the lore and stories of EverQuest II.

Good luck with your new fae, and enjoy!
