Compassion Sage is an uncommon drop from Controllers, which can commonly be found in and around the Exodus Dungeon in Ilshenar. The fastest way to get there is to use a Serpent's Jawbone and go to Exodus Dungeon:
Raw Ginseng can be found in the woods near the Sacrifice Shrine, it has a timer of 3 days after which it will be deleted and you will only be able to replace it once per character:
Mark these items as Quest Items (via the Player Context Menu) and head back to Mariah in Moonglow to complete the quest and receive your first item:

Quest Objectives
- Slay 40 Drakes
- Slay 20 Dragons
- Slay 5 Greater Dragons
A straight-forward task, but by no means a simple one. These can all easily be found in the Dungeon Destard. This can be completed with others, as long as you do enough damage/healing to get kill credit.
Once you slay all the required enemies, return to Geoffrey to complete the quest and receive your third item.

Quest Objectives
- Slay an Unbound Energy Vortex
Unbound Energy Vortex can be found within the Dungeon of Shame, on the 5th level. Running through Shame can be a bit of a pain, but your shard most likely has a rune library or a player with a rune to the Crazed Mage (a popular spot to train pets), which is right next to the UEVs:
Once you slay an Unbound Energy Vortex, return to Dupre to complete the quest and obtain your fifth reward:
Shamino
Quest: The Spirit Ranger
