Shaman Epic MQ - Non-Shaman

[GSZ]

does anybody know how a non-shaman can raise true spirit faction in order to MQ the quest?

I tried doing the first part of the quest as a Druid, but the lesser spirit doesn't interact (no dialogue) with me when I hail it. My shaman friend was able to interact with it and get the tiny gem, however.

Is it even possible to do as a non-shaman?

Thanks for any info anybody may be able to provide!
