Use the Ulteran Spires near each location for quick porting between locations for every step that requires travel between zones.
Though it is not a quest reward, the Mara Spirit Anchor that appears in Cardin Ward in the second to last step will remain in that location, making travel to and from Mara and Obol Plains for crafting, harvesting, and adventure easy.

Ghostclaw will give you Armlet of Ethernere, which gives the user a superficial appearance of belonging in the Ethernere. It is not required that you use the illusion to continue the quest, but it also has some good crafting stats, so you'll want to hang onto it.

Make sure you don't have ranged auto selected or wand or you will kill the spirit.
