Guild Wars 2 – Help Lexi Price protect the Trade Route

Head to the South from the Scaver Waypoint. You will find the Trading Post just to the Southwest from the Waypoint itself. In the Southeastern part of it you will find Lexi Price. Talk with her to learn what is going on in the area that needs your aid:

Lexi Price: “Running a trading post seemed like such a good idea, but now it's getting harder and harder to keep afloat.”
Hero A) “Can I help out?” D) “Tell me more about this post.”
Lexi A) “Protecting travelers and keeping the road clear of threats are our main priorities. Beyond that, the post could use some cleaning.”
Hero B) “Seems like you have a rat problem, too”, Hero C) “Tell me about these stakes and death markers.”
Lexi B) “Rats never used to be a problem around here … then the centaurs killed our cat. How about it. Think you can fill the gap left by Princess Prettyface's demise? These rattraps sure can't”
Hero C) “What were the stakes and death markers you mentioned?”, D) “Tell me about this post.”
Lexi C) “Those wretched stakes are traps! Unsuspecting travelers get stuck or injured on them. And death markers are a real morale killer. The Tamini place them where they've killed a human to gloat over the victory.
Lexi D) “The Crossing is just down the road. The Seraph use it to keep the bridge safe from centaurs, but it keeps this post safe, too.”
Hero A) “Is there anything else I can do?”

This is a more interesting quest because there is a bit you can do in the starting area itself. There are a lot of rats just roaming around. With the quest active just start using area burst to take out a few at a time if they happen to group. Look around the post as well. You will notice barrels full of documents. Approach them and interact with them to straight out the documents and help out around the trading post. Most of them can be found on the ground of the trading post but some are in the higher walkways.

Once you have had your fill of easy work you can head outside to the road leading to the West and South. Along there you will find small green mounds with stakes coming out of them. Interact with them to dismantle them and earn some credit. After that look for a pike with skulls on it. This is one of the Death Markers.

As you walk along the path you will encounter more than the Death Markers and traps that the centaurs have laid down. You will also encounter Drakes and Wolves that will attack you. These both count toward your quest progress so lay into them quickly and viciously. Just be careful with the wolves. They can summon more aid with a howl. While this is great for experience and unlocking skills it is not so great if you are really hurting from killing all the other wolves that came before that one.

When the quest is done with you will receive the letter, “Happy Travels” with 64 copper attached:
“I haven't seen so many happy travelers for a very long time. Thank you for helping my trading post.

And remember, if you ever need any goods, we're here to help – Lexi Price.”
