Tips & Miscellaneous
If you have at least one character on this server who has completed The Grotto, your future characters have the option to skip the Korthos storyline when they talk to Jeets. If you select this option, your character starts on the "sunny side" of Korthos Village with a choice of weaponry given by Cellimas at the end of The Grotto. You also get 850 XP.

Sunny side means you can freely travel between Korthos and Stormreach via the harbor and all the quests are optional. If you do not skip the Korthos storyline, you will be transported to the "snowy side" of Korthos Village once you complete The Grotto. If you talk with Valeria Sinderwood (First Mate of the Sojourner) at any time, you can skip the Korthos storyline and travel to Stormreach. Characters on the snowy side of Korthos cannot interact with characters on the sunny side, and vice versa.

You get 470 XP for completing this quest. The XP is awarded when you complete The Grotto. You do not receive any bonus XP for smashing breakables. This XP is also awarded if you choose to skip the Grotto (and the Korthos Storyline) when you first speak to Jeets.
