The Spirit of Spring

The Spirit of Spring is a quest with a boss known as the Ghost Stag. It was released on March 22, 2014, during the Spring Fling. Defeating this boss will unlock the Deer Quest Pet. The quest scroll can be purchased from the Market for 4 gems.

This quest is one of the harder quests to undertake. The boss has enough health (1200 HP) to take a sustained amount of time to defeat for small parties without Mages and Warriors; a party of 4 that only does  an average of 10 damage per party member will take a month to complete this quest. Your party would benefit from having a Healer if party members are prone to missing more than a few Dailies, since each missed Daily causes more damage to the entire party.

Description
Ahh, Spring. The time of year when color once again begins to fill the landscape. Gone are the cold, snowy mounds of winter. Where frost once stood, vibrant plant life takes its place. Luscious green leaves fill in the trees, grass returns to its former vivid hue, a rainbow of flowers rise along the plains, and a white mystical fog covers the land! ... Wait. Mystical fog? "Oh no," @Inventrix says apprehensively, "It would appear that some kind of spirit is the cause of this fog. Oh, and it is charging right at you."

Objective(s)
Defeat the Spirit of Spring.

On Completion
The spirit, seemingly unwounded, lowers its nose to the ground. A calming voice envelops your party. "I apologize for my behavior. I have only just awoken from my slumber, and it would appear my wits have not completely returned to me. Please take these as a token of my apology." A cluster of eggs materialize on the grass before the spirit. Without another word, the spirit runs off into the forest with flowers falling in his wake.
