It's a Secret to Everybody

A level 52 quest for both factions, from level 47.

Unchanged in Forever as far as is known: the text, objectives and rewards below are Classic’s.

Quest Objectives

Take Linken's Sword to Donova Snowden in Winterspring.

Linken's Training Sword

Provided: Linken's Training Sword

Description

You see, I have no idea how I ended up here. No one really knows -- it's a secret to everybody! I just can't seem to remember anything...

These items you brought to me, though... I am remembering something.

My sword. I am supposed to strengthen it somehow, but I'm really not sure why. Sorry I can't tell you more, but I just don't remember!

Anyhoo, I do know where you can take it -- Donova Snowden in Winterspring. You'll find her by the hot springs. She can temper the sword by the pools there.

Rewards

Experience: 5,100

When you come back

My, my... So Linken did finally get around to sending me his sword.

When you hand it in

Well, of course I can temper this sword. While I'm working, you can explain what took Linken so long to get this to me. He's not usually one to forget things...
