Guild Wars 2 – Assist laborer Cardy and Ojon's Lumbermill

“Kill Skirt and wasps, gather wooden planks, destroy wasp nests, and topple skritt shiny things.”

Head to the East of the Shaemoor Garrison. You will find Laborer Cardy. Talk with her to learn more about what is happening in the area:
Laborer Cardy: “A woodsman's life is already filled with sweat and hard work. Adding in the wasp problem can make it seem impossible, sometimes.
Hero: “Is there anything I can do?”
Cardy: “Wasps have been attacking good woodsmen lately, so learning out the pests would do us all a favor.”
Hero: “Okay. Anything else?”
Cardy: “There's wood in the forest that needs to be collected for the war. It's a valuable material for wood-based weaponry, so we need a good supply.”

As you wander the area you will find some of the wildlife is more aggressive than usual. These will count toward completion for this quest. Look around the wooden areas and you will occasionally find places that you can collect the fallen wood.

To the North you will find a lot of Wasps. This makes for a lot of easy progress as well. You will find that some of the stumps have a small collection of motes swarming around them. These are Wasp Nests. Interact with them to destroy them. Be warned though that it will call out a Wasp. Alone or in a pair they are not too bad. It is once it gets above that point that you start running into real problems.

Dealing with the Skritt is a simple task. Head South from Cardy and wander into the mountain that is there. It has an extensive cavern system. Inside there you will find Skritt and their shiny things. Inside and around the mountain you will find a lot of cave entrances. It is through these that you will find everything that you need in regards to the Skritt. They are not the hardest things in the world one on one. If more than 3 manage to get on you though it is more recommended to run save for Guardians and Warriors. The better you can tank, the easier it is to pull this stuff off.

When this quest is complete you will receive the letter “Best Wishes” with 68 copper:
“Dear Hero,

I want to thank you for your help in Queen's Forest. Your reputation doesn't exaggerate your heroism and skill.

All of us at the lumber mill thank you for your time – Laborer Cardy.”
