Spider Gems
General QuestHolger was traveling with some merchants that were attacked by spiders at their camp, since they had the misfortune of camping at the Snares. He is the only one that made it out alive. He wants you to return to the Snares and look for a pouch of gems that one of his companions was carrying.
STEPS:
1) Collect the gem pouch. Holger tells you:
"Could you go to the spider-lair and retrieve it? Without it, I will be destitute. The lair is to the south of here."
The lair he speaks of is called The Snares, and you should make your way to the upper portion, where you will soon come across a clearing. Within this clearing are a number of cocoons, most of which will contain standard loot. One of them will have the gem pouch you need, and it respawns quickly (12.3s, 42.3w).
2) Bring the gems back to Holger Tanner.
3) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and Tanner's Jacket.
