The Greater Good Walkthrough
Begin the Quest by speaking to the boss Lyndon in Backwater. When you're close, one of his crew members should tell you he's looking for you. Tell him, "You wanted to see me." It seems someone stole some community goods. This will activate the Quest and highlight your next objective location which will be northwest of your location. The area will be indicated by a blue circle, still at the Forsaken Coast. If you haven't already, make sure you activate the Waypoint here in Backwater before you leave.
- Find the stolen supplies with Orton
You might attract the attention of a lot of Enemies here, so just make sure to thin the herd from time to time to avoid getting overwhelmed. You should find the supplies at the upper left portion of the circle, they should be in the form of a filled cart along with some jars and other containers on the ground near it. They'll also be guarded by the perpetrators of the theft.
- Slay the bandits
They'll all just be normal Enemies so make quick work of them. They'll consist of Backwater Marksmen, Freebooters, and Bonesnappers. One of them will have some dying words.
- Speak with Orton
If you didn't notice, Orton's been accompanying you all this time. Talk to him and ask, "Do you believe him?" Seems like something suspicious is afoot.
- Gather Backwater's Missing Supplies
Interact with the chest to open it and then pick up the missing supplies.
- Bring the supplies back to Lyndon
Teleport back to the Waypoint in Backwater and head back to Lyndon. Tell him, "Here are the supplies." This will complete the quest.
