A new Public Quest appeared with the Tuesday update, and my illusionist did it for the first time yesterday!
The quest is given by an iskar fisherman who appears on the the north shore of Kylong Plains.
Many adventures arrived to speak to him and receive the quest.
Although the water seems calm, he talked about some bubbling he saw in it, commenting that it was not a good sign.
We waited, not knowing what to expect.
And then... the water was calm no more!
Tentacles curled up from the surface. Yah'Lei hovered in the air, supported by what appeared to be energy fields.
Other Yah'Lei walked on the surface of the water, which was covered with white rings... of energy?
We found we could walk on the water, too -- except when black rings appeared. If we did not move out of them quickly, we went down into the water.
We spread out across the solid surface of the water, killing wandering mudfin mongrels.
When we had killed enough of them, the main mob appeared -- a hydra!
A really big hydra!
The strategy was for the tanks with aggro to take the hydra to a tentacle. The rest of us were killing mudfins to prevent them from healing the hydra, or blasting the hydra with our strongest spells.
Occasionally we were thrown up into the air en masse.
Sometimes we came down on a platform of energy circles up above the mobs.
It was a long drop down from that. I died once jumping down.
But in the end we prevailed and killed the hydra.
I got an acheivement award for doing the quest for the first time.
I got the reward you get even if you don't get the quest from the public quest giver.
And the reward from the quest from the fisherman.
Examining the reward crate showed the possible item I could
get.
Most were the usual items from Public Quests, but there were two different items:

Most were the usual items from Public Quests, but there were two different items:
- Hydra-Scale Helm
- Greater Fragment of Planar Energy
The helm is nice! 20 Resolve, 284% Potency. A shame it is Relic, since you can only wear two Relic items simultaneously.
I'm not sure what you can craft with the Greater Fragment of Planar Energy, but I am sure I will find out soon.
I did not get either of those items, though. Just some mercenary gear.
But maybe next time...
Or the time after that...
Or the time after that...
I will get the Helmet!
