Dialogue
 * "As if the potential thread of Kurzick attack was not a daily concern, we now find ourselves under attack by the Luxon Outcasts! They are reavers who dug too deeply into the Jade Sea, and have gone mad. Now they tear our men apart and take the jade themselves. It is all we can do to keep them at bay, and while we do that, no mining is getting done at all. I just hired some others, they are on their way, but I am sure they could use your help. Speak with my father, Great Reaver Rixor of the Crab Clan, if you wish to aid us. You will find him in Seafarer's rest. The Luxon Outcasts must be stopped."

Intermediate Dialogue 1
 * "Ah! It looks like my otherwise worthless son has found another hire! I hope you brought your luck with you...these Outcasts are growing more destructive by the minute. They cannot possibly kill us all, they fight like animals and know nothing of strategy or tactics...but they aren't letting us work! Rion is overseeing our countermeasures. Speak to him, and by Balthazar's blade, end this soon, . We need to mine that jade!"

Reward Dialogue
 * "As the Luxon proverb goes, "A strong offense is the strongest defense." You are strong indeed, . The Crab Clan is in your debt."

Walkthrough
There are three choices on start points for this Quest. Throughout Boss spawn points appear to be reasonably static although Wavecrest Stonebreak does meander through the map somewhat.

If you start from Seafarer's Rest you are likely to encounter two Bosses, one of whom maybe the devastating Rockskin Dragon Boss Wavecrest Stonebreak, Elementalist - Elite Skill = Shatterstone). This makes the start of the Quest exceedingly difficult especially if you chose to speak to Rion just outside the entrance to Seafarer's Rest, as he or his team are likely to die very early on. If you do make it through the Boss groups then follow the Compass to deal with the Outcast Groups as indicated. The Northernmost Group will have a Monk Boss - Incetol, Devout of Depths, Elite Skill = Healing Burst. It's not necessary to deal with him to complete the mission, although any Monks or Monk secondaries may choose to destroy his group for skill capture purposes.

Warning - The following methods can take a long time to complete.

As an alternative to beginning this Quest from Seafarer's Rest, start from Leviathan Pits heading north until the portal to Rhea's Crater can be seen to the East. Take the portal and begin to head South, following the compass green arrow that will eventually lead you back towards Rion. Don't rush there as on the way you can spend time clearing the path of Outcasts and other creatures, which will make life a lot easier later on in the mission. The Outcast groups you come across, may or may not be crucial to the mission and since the Mission details do not begin to update until you have spoken to Rion, then it's best to destroy as many of the groups as possible on the way South. There are several random Boss spawns along the way and therefore it is possible to achieve a 10% Morale boost by the time you reach Rion. Also take Capture Signets and several Luxon Chest Keys for the journey as there are plenty of captures and chests to be had. If you make it South, then in all likelyhood, at least one of the two Bosses just North of Seafarer's Rest will be dead. Presumably due to battling with the passing Outcast. This does make it easier to reach Rion, although what remains of any nearby Boss and his creature clan will still have to be dealt with carefully, as they mob very quickly. Be prepared to deal with Rockskin Dragons and Leviathan Mouths in mass numbers. A group healing skill will be of great help here. Once past the Boss group, make your way to Rion and speak with him. The Mission log will update detailing how many Outcast groups remain to be dealt with and the compass arrow will indicate the next group of Outcasts that have to be dealt with. (NB - it may be the case that all the relevant groups have been destroyed, therefore the Mission log updates to completed immediately. Destroy any remaining Outcasts as indicated by the Compass.

The third alternative is to start from The Aurios Mines, heading Northwest into Rhea's Crater then heading North a a starting point to deal with the Outcasts. The remainder of the mission is similar to that described for the Leviathan Pits method.

Other Bosses that Spawn here are: Talous the Mad              (Mesmer)      Elite Skill = Recurring Insecurity Cultist Milthuran           (Necromancer) Elite Skill = Cultist's Fervor Razorfin Fleshrend          (Warrior)     Elite Skill = Cleave Lorelle Jade Cutter         (Ranger)      Elite Skill = Glass Arrows Arius, Dark Apostle]        (Assassin)    Elite Skill = Dark Apostasy Delic the Vengeance Seeker  (Ritualist)   Elite Skill = Vengeful Was Khanhei

Trivia
The story of the Luxon Outcasts greatly resembles that of the Reavers from the television series Firefly. This is not the only reference to Firefly; see also the Halcyon and Vera (Weapon).
