Butterfly Farm

Continent: Laenor

Quests:
  1. Collect butterfly extract (2 mithril reward)
  2. Help find Oak for Juniper
    • This is the main quest chain for this area, but it does not reward any area or level quests.
Open Questions:
  • There may be a special explore room here, but not sure where.
  • What is below the flower zombie?
  • Is there any way to interact with the plants in the butterfly valley?
  • Can you keep climbing up the tree after you get to the top of the ladder?
Map:
Map of the butterfly farm


Notes:

Entrance (butterfly valley and treehouse):
  • The entrance is guarded by a HUGE red squirrel who will block anyone over level 40
    • I know it may seem like a simple squirrel. DO NOT ATTACK IT!
  • Lots of butterflies swarming around the entrance way, and there is a nice map to find them
    • They drop a butterfly extract that you will want to collect
  • Lots of plants around here too, but I couldn't figure out how to interact with them
  • "Climb Ladder" when standing before the (_) part of the map to climb up into the tree
  • If you go around the branches, (and continue to go up), you'll encounter more butterflies and animals but they don't drop anything.
  • Eventually if you keep going up you'll hit a platform with nothing there. The room description says the tree keeps going up, but there is no ladder. I couldn't figure out how to keep climbing.
  • If you go in the tree, there is a butterfly farmer Juniper
    • If you say "hello" she will say she is worried about "oak"
    • If you ask Juniper about oak, she will say he's her husband and he went missing. She's worried he ran away to Taniular looking for prettier girls.
    • If you ask about butterflies, she says she needs help with harvesting their extracts
  • (Mini Quest): Collecting the butterfly extracts
    • Juniper needs five different colors
    • If you ask Juniper about colours, she will tell you what you've given her so far.
    • For every set of colours, Juniper will give you 2 mithril coins (1000 gold).
    • She will continue to do this for every set of 5 extracts. You can submit multiple of the same color at the same time and it will "cache" across runs.
  • In the back room there is an opened book on the desk.
    • You can "look at opened book" to find a note in the pages of the book
    • You can "look at note" to identify a word. In my case it was "satomalum"
    • This means "harvest waste" in Finnish
    • If you ask Juniper about the word, she'll say that oak was working on a secret project, maybe to do with a wedding gift.
  • If you look at the bookcase in the back room you notice that two of the books are missing.
    • One of the books is the one with the note in it...
  • You can find the other book if you "search under bed"
    • If you do this, you should find a moldy tome
    • The search syntax is not fun. Searching bed doesn't give you anything so you just need to guess to "search under bed"
  • Hidden staircase
    • When I picked up the tome, and then "put tome in bookcase" the door down opened up.
    • You can't "put tome into bookcase" until it is in your inventory
    • The bookcase will remain in your inventory, so you may want to drop it for the next person
Secret Chamber and Underground:
  • There is a lever in the secret chamber that closes the stairway/door if you don't want people following you, (or if you need to get back up).
  • This leads you to an underground "outerworld" area where you can see all the creatures wandering around.
  • There is a flower covered zombie standing over a hole/crater.
    • It is an elf zombie wearing a wedding ring
    • I think we figured out what happened to Oak
    • I suspect if you kill it an return Oak's ring to Juniper that it will advance/finish some sort of quest
    • The zombie is also blocking access to the hole/crater below it.
