ClientSummary
Travonce (Near stream, Tavnazian Safehold)Travonce's final wish before he dies is to reel in "the big one." However, your services are required to protect him from the monsters that lerk below the calm waters of the Lufaise Meadows.

Travonce is located @ F-9 on the middle level of Tavnazian Safehold.

Upon meeting Travonce outside the SE exit to Lufaise Meadows between 13:00 - 16:00 you will be capped to level 40. You must follow him and kill any NM that he fishes up in his search for the big one. He makes 3 stops and fishes up a total of 7 monsters.

**Warning: Travonce aggroes all Bugards and Orcs along his path and cannot be stopped.**

Travonce will give you a Completion Certificate (key item) upon defeating the last NM. You need not talk to him to receive it, he will automatically give it to you. Return to Tavnazian Safehold and give the certificate to him to receive your reward.

A party of 6 capped at level 40 and couple outside helpers to kill Bugards and Orcs can complete this quest. (Note: our helpers were level 73 and 74, so you might want more helpers if they are lower levels.)

Reward:
Glass Fiber Fishing Rod
Sinking Minnow

UPDATE: December 9, 2004
The level restriction for the Tavnazia quest "The Big One" has been raised from 40 to 45.

A few more observations:

You can't have any other escort mission active at the same time as this. However, you can do a regular escort mission in the same week as this one after this one is completed.

Only 1 party can complete this at a time. So among other things, it lets you have the helpers allianced in. They won't be level capped. Helpers can't heal the capped party and probably can't attack the NMs (don't know if we tested this). Helpers and capped members CAN attack the same non-NM monsters.

Thunder elementals can spawn near the Lagoon so watch out.

You probably can get by with as few as 3 people in the capped party as the NMs aren't very hard though they do start to overlap a lot at the Lagoon. 4 should be eminently doable and more people just help you finish faster.

In terms of getting a Dragon Chronicles, this is easier than Eco-Warrior at least. :)
