Complete Heart of the Deep Event Quest

After completing the third and final quest in the Waterborne Poetry event, Heart of the Deep, you can find Xiao standing by the Teleport Waypoint at Pervases' Temple!

Heart of the Deep Quest Guide

Xiao's Poem in Pervases' Temple

Poem Placed by Unknown Person
A thousand year's vissicitudes, one's form never aging. Grace never forgotten, the fire yet burning. Mountains climb high and waters run deep. Strange fate, indeed, to once more meet.

Complete Hereafter Quest Series

It's unsure if Xiao's poem will appear unless you've completed the Hereafter: Return to the Mountain quest series. These quests will build Pervases' Temple right below the Teleport Waypoint, where a copy of Xiao's poem can be found!
