Harvesting Windstones

Basis: public beta records, with our editorial planning advice. Not independently playtested.

What the record establishes

The record distinguishes Raw Windstones, the source object, from Windstone Clusters, the required resource. The objective calls for fifteen clusters in Thendal Grove. Reward choices include Mining for Dummies, Wild Harvest and Pelt Collecting for Beginners.

Suggested approach

1. Track the right item

   Read the cluster counter before you begin. Look for the named raw resource instead of assuming that any wind-themed item counts.

2. Use a repeatable circuit

   Choose a small loop around resource objects you can currently see, returning to a familiar landmark. This is a planning suggestion, not a tested spawn circuit; leave contested or empty areas rather than relying on a published respawn time.

3. Finish the collection first

   Check for fifteen credited clusters before returning. At the reward window, read each profession-related option and compare it with the gathering profession you intend to pursue.

Planning notes

The minimum acceptance level and quest level differ in this record. That makes the objective suitable to evaluate early, but it does not establish solo safety. The reward decision is a separate choice: choose from the actual tooltips instead of treating the title of a profession book as an automatic best pick.
