Starting NPC: Astoissi at 11.6k,12.1k in Oceanus Hesperos
Level Requirement: Lvl 50
Comments on Solo, Grouped, or Battlegrouped:
You need two people for this. Some classes can do this solo, others will want 2 people.
Steps:
From Stygia, it is fastest to swim to the island at
44k 37k in Oceanus Boreal. Waiting for a boat to take out and
then jump takes too long. The swim isn't that bad.
There are 3 stones on the island, two are tall and one flat. You must
plant seeds at all 3 and then harvest from all three. The possessive dust devils
con Yellow to Orange, are aggresive, have long aggro range and pop
extreemly fast. Very difficult to solo this, though I almost did on my
Enchanter. Dust Devils ignore pet unless you dive out of range. Then
when they get low on health, the run from pet.
If you are to do this with just 2 people, one can get both
possessive dust devils aggro on him and swim out a bit from the island
then dive just beyond reach. The possessive dust devils will hover over
the water above them and will hit you underwater if you are near the
surface, but not if you dive down far enough. Then the one doing the
quest can go in and try to /plant and /search at each of the three
rocks. Note that there are 3 possessive dust devils on the island, but
only 2 seem to be aggro and pop within 5-10 second of being killed.
For some reason I had seeds left over after the quest was complete. The goal is to get 3 of the seedlings.
Only one person in the group needs to do the planting and searching in order for everyone in the group to get credit.

We did this quest with just a 50 shield champion and 50 warden. The
shield champion guarded the warden and the warden ran the 6-sec bubble.
With our combined blocking/bubble we were able to plant and search
three seeds and
seedlings while under attack. We would kill the whirlwind(s) between
each plant/search. All together we had to kill maybe 5 or 6
yellow/orange whirlwinds. They kept coming and didn't care if we went
in the water. We tried coming at the island from all angles but
finally just went for it. Nov 23

When done solo:
A tip to make the seed pouch quest doable by almost any class solo, attack
the two possessive dust devils till they are below 5% in health, then drag
them out into the ocean, they will be hurt and move slowly so you will have
time to go back and do your thing.. Swim back to island do your
plant/search thing then if they get close again, re-melee them to low health
and go through same process... If you kill them they will repop with full
health..

This is soloable by a Shaman using Heal Field... just place
the heal field underwater near the boulder. Sprint up to the
boulder and /plant or /search. If you face and have a shield
armed, you should be albe to tank the dust devils long enough to escape
by the skin of your teeth. When nearing /plant/search hit sprint to be
ready to leap off into the water at the first possible instance.. I did
this with a R3 50 Frostalf Shaman in rog gear, and I did not die
thought it was close on several occasions. Late night on small
servers makes for desperate tactics. Mar 11 2004

I just wanted to say that the Seed Pouch Quest was easily soloable by a 50
Bonedancer. I used two fossil healer pets and just tanked both possessive
dust devils the whole time i was planting and searching (they dont deal more
damage than both healing pets, and they ignore the pets). If they do start
doing more damage for some reason, occasional lifetaps fix the problem. Feb 4

Tips:
I completed this quest with a necro and a cleric, but
there are a couple of things I wanted to comment on. The Dust
Devils (3 of them, blue con at 50) are not agressive on the island
where you have to plant seeds, it's the possessive dust devils that
attack you. Possessive dust devils (two of them, yellow con at
50) were hitting my cleric for about 28-37 damage a swing, but she was
fully buffed at the time. All I had to do was get the two
possessive dust devils to attack my pet and I let my cleric run around
and plant/search.
Both characters got credit for the quest, so although I saw some notes
on the site suggesting that every character has to plant/search I found
this not to be the case. Possessive dust devils were neither
strong nor weak to spirit magic, they were neutral. Jan 24
