It is recommended, though not required, that you complete the 'Frightful Tales to Curl the Hair On Your Toes' quest chain before beginning 'The Curse of Eerie Acres.'

'Where has the time gone, ${PLAYER}? It feels as if we were just discussing the strange apparition you saw in the Bindbole Wood, but the year of which it spoke has already come and gone! I fully intended to spend the time researching the phantom's words, but each day was too full of chores and errands and visits, and don't you know it: here we are again, and no closer to solving the mystery!

'What did the apparition say? Ah, here it is, I wrote it down: \qThere can be no reparations for the hurt that has been done. In one year, all will fear the parting of the wood! None will escape the curse of the eerie acres! Despair and repair to your holes, for none but one will laugh when all is done!\q

'Brrr, it still gives me the chills. Well, we will not forget those words, and I recommend that you keep your eyes open as we participate in the Harvest Festival this year. If you see anything at all that seems to relate to this curse, come see me at once! Walaric Goldworthy has opened a new field of festival games for the Harvest Festival this year, at a place called Wistmead. I have seen nothing to indicate that he knows anything about that apparition or this worrisome curse, so we should go to Wistmead and have some fun, but I will keep on the look-out for anything suspicious and you should as well!

'There's a pony to Wistmead just to the east and up the slope. I'll meet you there, and hopefully Wistmead will have plenty of spooky fun and very little in the way of scary curses!'

A pony to Wistmead can be found to the east of the Party Tree.
