Rewards

What's Eating the Watervine? is one of the first quests that players can encounter when starting the game in Joppa. Given by Mehmet when asking him for work, the quest tasks the player with killing the strange creatures which have been eating Joppa's watervine, and returning with a corpse as proof. What's Eating the Watervine? is not available if a random village start was chosen.

Completing the quest requires the player to travel to Red Rock, two parasangs north of Joppa, and bring back the corpse of a girshling to Elder Irudad. The level of Red Rock with the girshlings can be accessed by travelling north of Joppa and then descending at Red Rock, or by going down at Joppa and going north through the waterlogged tunnel. It is generally much safer to find the girshlings by descending through Red Rock, due to the more dangerous enemies present in the waterlogged tunnel.

Upon returning to Elder Irudad with a girshling corpse, he will explain lore regarding Resheph, the Gyre, and the Girsh Nephilim to the player, in addition to giving the quest's rewards.
