The Saga of the Aelfwar Questline has 36 quests. Many of these quests have multiple objectives or mini-quests within them.
The Saga starts in Silverwood, takes you through many of the Mathosian zones and Dungeons, and ends up in level 50 Raid/Chronicle content. There are no PVP quests.
Although the first quest can be picked up at level 15, I recommend you wait until you are at least level 60 to start, then you will be able to complete all the Dungeon quests solo. Even some of the open world quests are going to be difficult to do solo at low level, many of these quests were designed to be done in a small group. The entire questline can be easily soloed by a level 70 character.
The questline rewards companion pet called ‘Life Bunny’ and a few Life themed Weapon skins to choose from.
The Saga of the Aelfwar can only be completed by Guardian characters. The Defiant alternative is the Saga of the Endless, you can find a guide for that here.

Prerequisite Quests
Before you are able to start the life saga quests you will need to complete *most* of the storyline in Silverwood.
On my alt I completed 85/100 quests before I was able to pick up the first saga quest, I didn’t do many quests in the northern/middle of the zone, I completed the quests along the west side and the south. It’s likely you will have completed the Silverwood quests a long time ago anyways, but if you haven’t, just follow the storyline quests and keep checking the questgiver every so often to see if you can pick up.

/setwaypoint 6071 3961
Talk to the Messenger of the Vigil to receive the Tear.
The Tear will go straight into your quest items bag in your quest log.
Cinderon and Gnarladon are both Silverwood zone event bosses.
Cinderon is the last boss of the ‘March of the Gedlo’ fire zone event.
Gnarladon is the last boss of the ‘Arboreal Assault’ life zone event.
Due to these zone events being rare, special rift lures were added to the game that spawn these bosses.
Both of these lures can be popped using a normal rift tear in Silverwood, they will spawn a rift that will release the boss for you to kill. Be aware that you may need a group of people to kill it unless you are well above level 20.
The Cinderon lure can be bought from ‘Quartermaster Unkrat’ <Order of the Flame> at /setwaypoint 7460 3012 – Planar room in the Sanctum tower
The Gnarladon lure can be bought from ‘Quartermaster Queb’ <Order of Life Serene> at /setwaypoint 7459 3017 – Planar room in the Sanctum tower

Uncover Cealhaidh in the Palisade

Go to the area called the ‘Palisade’ in the north of Silverwood
/setwaypoint 6196 2613
Target one of the Aelfwar and use the Changeling Inquisition Kit.
You will be given two temporary abilities.
The first is called Ash of Binding.
The second is Cold Iron Touched.
If these abilities do not pop up for you, then open up your quest log and look in the bag space at the bottom to find the two items, drag them into your cast bar to use them.
Target more of the Aelfwar and use the Cold Iron Touched ability on them. Eventually you will find one that transforms into ‘Cealhaidh the Corrupter’. This is pure RNG, it could be the first one you try or the 50th!
You will then need to get Cealhaidh to around 5% health and use the Ash of Binding on them (The Ash is a ground AOE ability, just place it on the ground beneath their feet), this will place a debuff on them for 15 seconds (ish), you need to kill them before that debuff wears off.

When you have destroyed both the Roots, your quest objective will change to ‘Find and kill Glastig the Green Lady’
A large yellow quest circle will appear that covers the northern half of Overwatch Keep.
The Green Lady is a specific mob in that area.
She starts off as a 1st Order Druid and when you target her and ring the Bell she changes into the Green Lady.
You will find lots of 1st Order Druids in the area, but there is a very specific one that will change into the Green Lady.
This 1st Order Druid is easily recognisable because she spawns with only 75% health.
She spawns at the top of one of the two huts at /setwaypoint 6515 3078 and /setwaypoint 6472 3038 then walks down the ramp and around the paths circling the huts.
When you find the correct 1st Order Druid, select her and use the Bell.
She will then change into the Green Lady for you to kill.

Just outside Meridian (The Defiant capital in Freemarch) is a tent, find it at

Being this close to the enemy capital will auto-flag you for PVP. Try to stay out of the way of Defiant players during this quest!
Amortsey Swarte Has the Tome of Amber, kill him to loot it!
Amortsey Swarte is level 35, but there are number of level 52 Meridian guards nearby, you need to be careful if you are low level!
Your best bet is to agro Amortsey Swarte and then line of sight him behind the nearby tree to draw him away from the tent before killing him.
Your other option is to have patience.. every 10mins or so Amortsey Swarte will path away from the tent towards the low brick wall, when he does this you can easily target and kill him without agroing anything else.
If you are high level, then feel free to just blitz everything!

Acquire the Obsidian Arrow
Durnes the Ranger patrols in a large circle all around the bottom half of Scarwood Reach.
You should make a target macro to make finding Durnes easier.
Then you can run all around the route spamming the macro until you find her.
This map shows exactly the route that Durnes takes around Scarwood Reach.
It was originally posted on the zam rift guide site.
Durnes moves in an anti-clockwise direction around the route, so it is suggested that you follow the route in a clockwise direction while spamming the macro to find her.
I tend to find I get the most luck around the Mathosian Mill area or the long squiggly line to the east of Perspice.
When you find Durnes she will be friendly to you. Right click to talk to her and make her attackable.
If you are low level then you will need to bring a few friends to help you kill her. When you begin attacking she will bring a few animals out to help her and they hurt!
Killed her and loot the arrow.

Seal a Major Life rift in Stillmoor
So to Stillmoor and find or open a Major Life rift (An expert life rift or a raid life rift will not credit the quest).
Major life rifts are opened on the normal blue/white tears, not the yellow raid tears.
If you have a decent amount of PA points spent in the Life tree then you will be able to use the ‘Major Life Lure’ to open your own (find it in your spell book under ‘ascended powers’).
Otherwise, you will need to just keep popping rifts open with your normal life lure and hope you find a Major tear to make it easy!
If the map is full of the wrong type of rifts then either close them or switch shards.
The rifts level doesn’t matter, a level 45 rift on the east will work just as well as a level 50 rift on the west, the rift just needs to be inside Stillmoor.
You do need to get the rift all the way to stage 5 and then close it. Letting the timer time out on stage 3 or 4 will not work for the quest.
You do not need to be mentored down to get XP for the rift
When you picked up the quest a ‘Dowsing Rod’ would have been placed in your quest items bag.
After you close the rift the Dowsing Rod will become a usable item on your quest sticky.
Your quest objective will change to ‘Use the Dowsing Rod’
A large quest circle will appear that covers most of Stillmoor. When you use the Dowsing Rod inside the circle, a large beam of light will be emitted from your character towards the area you need to travel to.
Standing on higher ground when you use the rod may help you see where it points to.
The Rod will only work if it is near a Ley Line, it works as shown at
/setwaypoint 2019 2987
After you use the rod the first time your quest objective will change to ‘Follow ley lines to find the ritual of Nechtan’
To make things easy, just go to /setwaypoint 1588 3445 – Here you will find the ritual.
Your quest objective will now change to ‘Kill Nechtan’
Allow the Priestesses to summon Nechtan and then kill the 4 Priestesses and kill Nechtan.

Convert Aelfwar back to Tavril x10
You will have a quest item attached to your sticky called ‘Psalm of Tavril’
You need to use this item on the correct Aelfwar mobs in Stillmoor.
In Stillmoor you will find 4 very large quest circles covering most of the southern area.
I find the best place to do this quest is the area I have circled in red called ‘Edgewood’.
Simply run around this area targeting all the humanoid mobs and using the Psalm of Tavril item on them.
If the book works then the mobs will change and become green/friendly to you, if it doesn’t work then the mob will attack you.
This is completely random and quite frankly is really annoying, you may get 3 in a row, or you could be trying different mobs for 10mins and get none at all.. either way, don’t give up! You can do this!
Here you can see the book working on an Emerald Scale Packleader, Magus and Priestess.
Just keep trying all the different Aelfwar mobs until you make 10 of them friendly. The mob does not need to be out of combat.
