Before you travel to Trevo Mine, we highly recommend you visit the Vernworth Vocation Guild and speak to Klaus to activate the side quest Vocation Frustration.

It is one of the vital side quests of the game since completing it will unlock 2 Vocations, Warrior and Sorcerer. The Vocation Frustration quest tasks the player to find a Greatsword (Two-Hander) and an Archistaff (Grievous Horns), and bring the weapons back to Klaus in Vernworth. By arriving at Trevo Mine and clearing out the mine of Goblins, you'll advance this quest and Vocation Frustration. You'll immediately identify to help the soldiers when you head further into the mine and find the group fighting the Goblins, make sure to help them quickly to avoid any bloodshed. The quest objective becomes updated after clearing out all of the goblins and when Alex, one of the soldiers speaks to you.

Set Forth to Harve Village

After clearing out the mine, you can now proceed to either Harve Village or Vermund's eastern edge. At Harve Village, you must aid the soldiers to fight against the saurians, while at the Eastern Edge of Vermund to help with a delivery duty. Harve Village is just situated south of Trevo Mine. But tread carefully since you can encounter an Ogre along the way and the Northern Harve Ruins, occupied by bandits. Make sure to check the underground cell of the Northern Harve Ruins to find valuable loot.

When you arrive at Harve Village, make sure to reforge the Riftstone by the Bayside Home. The village has multiple collapsed buildings, so be sure to check each one to find loot on the ground and some chests. Your objective is towards the end of the village's beach near the Rivage Elder's Home. Follow the quest marker and you'll find one of Brant's men. Approach the soldier named Dylan and learn more about the location of the other soldiers. You can also find a Portcrystal near the Rivage Elder's Home.

On the right-hand side of Dylan, you'll see a path that will lead below the Stormwind Cave, which is where you'll need to go. Prepare to fight as there are Saurians inside. After clearing the area, you'll find that one of the soldiers is dead. Approach the body and you'll be given a tutorial on how to revive the dead.

"If a resident of this world dies, it is not necessarily the end, for the Arisen has the power to revive the fallen by using a Wakestone in close proximity to them. Bear in mind, however, that the bodies of the dead are not left to the mercies of the elements, but will in short order taken to a morgue or charnel house in one of the larger cities."

Upon using a Wakestone, you'll revive the soldier and unlock an achievement "The Savior". Speak to Thurston and he'll ask you to investigate further into the cave to help find another soldier. Proceed to the highlighted area where you'll encounter more Saurian enemies. Kill the creatures to save another soldier named Hollis and then escort him back to the entrance. Inside the lair where you rescued Hollis, there is a chest containing a Serpentine Circlet. When you're ready, head towards the entrance and keep an eye out for other soldiers who are dead. If you have enough Wakestones, you can use them to revive them. Make sure you accompany the soldiers back to the entrance to complete this task.

Eastern Edge of Vermund

For the next task, you can find it marked east of Vernworth. We highly recommend traveling during the day so it's easier to traverse the area. Proceed to the marked area of the map and you'll find a group of Goblins and Saurians attacking the shipment. quickly join the battle and defend the shipment from the creatures. After clearing the area, speak to one of the soldiers and then report back to Captain Brant in Vernworth. You can find Captain Brant by the bar of The Stardrop Inn at night.
