Thanks go to kurat and michelelee for writing this quest guide
On the peaceful island of Entrana a lone monk has tired of his life of simplicity and quiet reflection. Auguste wants to boldly write his name in the history books; to craftily defeat the laws of physics; to miraculously sail through the air... preferably not to horribly explode into a ball of flaming death.
Of course, to do all this he'll need the help of a worldly adventure: are you bold enough to merrily laugh in the face of the unknown?

20 Quest Points
Items Needed:
To start go talk to Auguste on Entrana (go NW once you arrive at Entrana north of the herb store), to save time take with you the sack of potatos, unlit candle, 3 papyrus, and the ball of wool.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Once you agree to help him he will ask for you to gather the potatoes, candle, papryus and ball of wool. Just talk to him again since you brought them with you already.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
You will now use ball of wool with papyrus, then candle with the balloon thing. Now talk to him. You will see a cutscene. Talk to him again, to then give he potaotes and remaining papyrus. There is another cutscene.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Talk to him to get new instructions. He gives you a Willow Sapling and a Basket of Apples to pay the farmer to watch your tree. Go plant the sapling in a tree patch and pay farmer to watch it because if it dies or you lose it then it will cost 30k to get another one off Auguste or find another player selling a willow seed. But if you already had a willow tree growing/grown then you can go cut the branches off it using the seceteurs. This can be time consuming, for after so many branches you have to wait for them to grow back kinda like fruit on a fruit tree. And you can't at the time go from one tree to the next... If you cut branches on one it will tell you on the others you have to wait for the branches to grow back.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Take red and yellow dye, the 10 silk, bowl and 8 sacks to Entrana. Use empty sacks with sandpit to get the sandbags. Hand over the items to Auguste either by talking to him or using item with him.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Now you can do whatever you want until your willow grows or if already got one then use secateurs with tree to cut 12 willow branches. Once you have the 12 willow branches (now would be the time to grab the tinderbox and 10 logs as well), go back to Entrana and use branches with basket on platform. There will be a short cutscene from complete airballoon.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Talk to Auguste again and if ready say Okay! if you grabbed your tinderbox and logs already. Now take tinderbox and 10 normal logs and go start your flight. Do not weigh more than 40kg. Every time you crash the balloon, you will need another 10 logs to start again from Entrana.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Once in the balloon you will see the controls to the right, hover over them to learn them to know which one is More up and Up and Down to the More Down... I am going to tell you how many times to click which one in order as to you are to do so to get you to the end.
You will be in Taverly just south of the tree patch there. Talk to Auguste to finish quest.
