A Gifted Rose: Prickly as Thorns quest requires you to talk to different NPCs and find out their interests. After completing The Exile world quest, talk to Sabbah in Aaru Village after reset time to get the Prickly as Thorns quest from her. The Sumeru Rose beside her will begin to bloom, and you can talk to her and hand the flower over.
She will inform you about an old man who loves to garden and lives north of the village. You have to visit him and learn more about him. The old man is called Affan, and his humble abode is up in the mountains. The location you have to head to is shown below.
Once you talk to him, he will mention his nursery that is overrun by enemies. His nursery is located in a Withering Zone, so it is up to you to clear out the enemies. The marker for the nursery will appear on the map, so you can head over there to start the task. You have to destroy the Tumor of the Withering for the land to be fertile again.
And with that, you have completed the world quest A Gifted Rose: Prickly as Thorns. You can come back later to check up on Grandpa Affan and his nursery to know how it’s going.
