Objectives

Search for the object the Monkey King has described in his riddle.

•  [Pure Water Core]
•  [Purity Jug] (provided)

Description

Do you seek my weapon? Then you better answer my question.

  "I seek something curvy and bendy but with no spine,

  It rushes and rushes leaving chaos behind.

  Sometimes it brings life, sometimes it brings death:

  A little is good, but a lot steals your breath.

  It's as common as dirt, but this part's obscure:

  This stuff comes from a pool that's known to be pure."

Bring me what I seek.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 19 40
• 14,800 XP

Progress

Ah, it returns. Has the wikkit brought what I'm looking for?

Completion

This splashie spirit core holds far more water than you might think. Enough to fill a big bowl or a small sink!

I bet we can find some good use for it, like squeezing it out to make ookin' excellent slerp!

Notes

Travel to the Pools of Purity in Valley of the Four Winds. Slay Desecrator Ma'veth and the Desecrated Water Spirit.

Ma'veth finishes corrupting a Water Spirit.

Desecrator Ma'veth says: You shall be my new subject's first test!

After looting the spirit's pure water core, an image of The Monkey King briefly appears.

The Monkey King says: Wikket got water, clear and pure, 'fore greenies from sky could dook it for sure.

The Monkey King says: Hurry up, wikket, make your feet into dancers! For my riddles you'll go off and find all the answers.

If this quest is done last, the image says:

The Monkey King says: That's one... that's two... ah yes, that is three! Now we find out if right wikket be!
