2) BRELL'S REST: Time to hunt a lavakin (Level 83 to 85) (lava golem models).
You need to kill at least forty (40) of them.
As you kill them, you may or may not also get task updates for the step labeled, "Make impressions of the patterns in the lavakins' cracked skin."
You need twenty (20) of those updates, so you may find that you need to kill more than forty (40) a lavakin.
The updates will occur when you get an emote that says something like, "You find a pattern that speaks to you of your culture and make an impression of it."
