Dialogue
 * "Your reputation with the Luxons is well known. Perhaps we can put that relationship to profitable use?  Since the Jade Wind struck, no one has managed to craft new maps of the Jade Sea.  There is money to be made, but I no longer have the energy to venture out on my own.  Go scout the Jade Sea and report your findings.  I shall reward you with just compensation."

Reward Dialogue
 * "Thank you very much. This map will truly be a work of art."

Walkthrough
This is an extremely long and tedious quest. You may visit the sites in any order but the map pointer only points to the closest site. If you leave the area, all sites you have visited in that area are reset, e.g. if you visit 3 sites in Archipelagos, then leave Archipelagos, you must return to visit all 5 again. However, if you visit all 5 sites in Archipelagos, you won't have to visit them again if you leave the area (obviously, or the quest would be impossible).

The only justification for doing this quest is if you are (a) desperate for faction or (b) like to explore. This quest does take you to some interesting places and you get to see some beautiful artwork and landmarks that you might not otherwise see. This quest is therefore perfect for budding Canthan Explorers.

Since you will be wandering all over four areas, you should gather all the quests you can for an area before starting this quest in that area, as you will undoubtedly find many overlaps.
