Dialogue[edit]

Speaking to Head Archivist Stalwart Heart
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: Hello, Wayfinder! Would you have time to help me with a study I've currently got going on? There are some odd wisp-like creatures that inhabit this space that I'd like to get some field data on.
Talk collection option.png Sure!
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: Janthir proves a mysterious land, Wayfinder, even for the ward. Each question answered unearths several more.
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: And these wisps are no different. Studying them can give the ward insight into their purpose and potential value.
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: If you come across any in your travels, report your findings to me. Your firsthand accounts will benefit my research.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry. Can't right now.

Stalwart Heart

Wisp Research Check-In


Hello, Wayfinder,

Please return to me at your earliest convenience. I'd like to compare notes on our wisp findings. I'll be waiting for you at Moon Camp.

Meeting Valiant Aria near Loch Lucent
Valiant Aria: Yes? To what do I owe this...unexpected visit?
Talk collection option.png Apologies. I was asked to speak with you about the wisp creatures.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry about that. I'll be on my way.
Valiant Aria: A visitor. If I'd known to expect company, I'd have prepared some tea.
Valiant Aria: You're here on account of the wisps, then? (chuckles) I have my ways of keeping informed.
Valiant Aria: That sky watcher friend of yours is quite...inquisitive. Her motives are clear as bog water, and surely every bit as pure.
Valiant Aria: She'll be sad to hear that I'm not versed in the intricacies of the wisps' existence. Even the trolls know only so much...
Valiant Aria: Still, perhaps I'll pay her a visit. As for you, I'm sure the wisps would continue to appreciate your respectful company.
Meeting Valiant Aria in Bagoo Cave
I sense your bond with the wisps has grown stronger. Your quest is going well, I take it?
Talk end option tango.png Indeed.
Meeting Stalwart Heart in Bagoo Cave
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: Hello, Wayfinder! You've made it just in time.
Talk collection option.png And I've brought some more information.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry, can't talk right now.
Cave Troll: (grunts)
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: But what are they, exactly?
Valiant Aria: She says that is unknowable, though many believe them a link between realms. So those able to see them are revered.
Valiant Aria: Being graced by a visit from the king wisp is the highest honor. It is akin to a Voice beholding Koda in your tribes.
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: Ask it—her—more about this "King Wisp." Where is he? How does one secure a meeting?
Cave Troll: (grunts)
Valiant Aria: She says that is for the king to decide. Rumors say he dwells in a cave near Harvest Den.
Cave Troll: (grunts)
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: And?
Valiant Aria: And that she tires of your incessant questions and will refrain from answering anything further.
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: (sighs) Well, it's something to go on, I suppose. And do you believe in this king?
Valiant Aria: He exists. Thought I've never seen him, I am certain. The mere chance to lay eyes on him is well worth your while.
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: Very well. Wayfinder, I'll need you to keep investigating. We might be closer to a breakthrough than we realize.
Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: Who knows? Maybe the king will feel like making an appearance.
Meeting with the King Wisp in Hibernation Grotto
King Wisp: Come closer...
After bowing
King Wisp: My kin seems to favor you, and I can sense why...
King Wisp: You have done well to find us.
King Wisp: My thanks to you for keeping my kin company. I hope you found as much benefit in it as they did.
Returning to Stalwart Heart in Valiant Aria's house
Knowing your reputation for thorough work, Wayfinder, if you've returned to us, that can only mean one thing...
Talk collection option.png I found them.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry. Still looking.
Speaking with Stalwart Heart again
Thank you again for all you've done, Wayfinder. Not only did you allow me to learn more of the wisps, you helped connect me with a new friend.
Talk end option tango.png Glad I was able to help.

Notes[edit]

  • Despite not being targetable, the Wisps can be buffed with Swiftness or Superspeed using ground-targeted or PBAoE abilities.
  • As of November 19, 2024 game update, step 5 is currently bugged, the wisp stops after a while, making it impossible to complete; no workaround has been found yet. Main forum post about the bug can be found here. The first reported occurrence of this bug was on October 10, 2024. ArenaNet is aware of the bug and is working on it.
  • Some wisps became disabled without being completed, while still allowing the achievement to progress past them. Players who kept progressing the achievement while one of the wisps was not completed will not be able to complete the achievement. Even if they reached the final step, the skipped step will remain incomplete and achievement rewards will not be delivered

Trivia[edit]

  • The line "Not all who wander are lost" is quoted from The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.
