This quest will be available only AFTER you've visited Thurgadin upon reaching level 90.
Nodes
If you're questing or doing other things in the area, then ignore this and harvest as you go. If you're just out to get it done:
Head straight to Kerra Isle - you can get all the wood in one or two loops around the island if no one else is harvesting. Roots are plentiful here too. You may want to fish here if you don't have Hua Mein Village access.
Travel to Toxxulia Forest, get all your shrub harvests in this area (Toxxulia Prowlers area is good, too, if this area is low on nodes), finish off roots, and get whatever ore/gem nodes you pass - don't obsess over them, better area coming.
If you have a flying mount, jump over to Hua Mein Village (Need faction or avoid guards) and go fishing. You'll probably finish before you run out of nodes. Leave the village down the dry river bed, getting all the ore, gem, and trap nodes on the way. Done.
If you can't fly, go back to the Tox Forest station and travel to Stonebrunt Encampment, cross over to the river bed, head in the reverse direction (Toward Hua Mein Village) gathering rocks and dens. If you can't get in to the Village to fish, the little creek just outside has several nodes.
The river bed is harvested a lot, so you may need a few trips up and down to finish the ore/gem harvests.

Bring the harvests back to Qho Augren.
Good news! Qho's gotten permission to leave the village. But you'd better talk to his mother Lian Augren first, who is next to him in a little hut with a pack pony.
Apparently you've volunteered to take Qho to Great Divide and Thurgadin. Hail Qho.
If you've already been there you can take the griffin; otherwise, head for the city exit labeled "The Great Divide- Dain's Last Stand" at ( 673, -246, 56 ) Copy/waypoint 673, -246, 56 and head southeast to ( 351, -15, 533 ) Copy/waypoint 351, -15, 533.
