Regional

Practice Makes Perfect, Nyerk! is a Regional quest in AION 2 for Asmodian characters around level 16. Below are its 2 steps and what it pays out. Baba (Quai Merchants) gives the quest in Altgard.

Baba urgently requested your presence at the Quai Campsite. There, he revealed that the campsite is only a temporary refuge, not the true headquarters of the Quai Merchants. The guild dreams of reclaiming what was lost, but without a proper combat instructor, its members have struggled to prepare for the battle ahead. Hoping to change that, Baba asked for your help in training the Quai Merchants.
