[edit] Walkthrough

This is a direct followup to another master quest, and can be easily completed in the same run. A member of the party will have to carry the Staff of the Mists to the final destination at the Hallowed Point. The terrain of the outcrops means following a somewhat convoluted route to the Hallowed Point.

Once the staff carrier activates the Hallowed Point, the staff will vanish and the quest updates.

Since additional hidden Margonites will spawn along the way, the quest can be made easier by clearing the regular spawns along the path before accepting the quest.

Make sure that you do not click on the Hallowed Point while holding the Staff of the Mists BEFORE accepting this quest or the staff to disappear, making it impossible to complete this quest without rezoning.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Buuran

"[Difficulty: Master] Long ago, the Staff of the Mists and the Scepter of Orr were given to the great nations of the world as protection. Predictably, those who wielded their power were corrupted. Terrible horrors were unleashed upon the lands once guarded by their benevolent power. The gods themselves were forced to intervene. They struck down both rulers, sealed the scepters within their tombs, and guarded them with powerful magic. With the Staff of the Mists released into the world again, I fear that the forces of evil will not stop until they possess it. Our only choice is to destroy the scepter. You must travel to the Hallowed Point and destroy the scepter. Only then will it be out of reach of the Margonites."
Accept: "I do not trust anyone else with this deed. I will do it."
Decline: "Destroy an item of such power? How about I keep it instead?"
When asked about quest: "You must take the staff to the Hallowed Point and destroy it. Only then will it be safe from the Margonites."

[edit] Reward dialogue

Buuran

"I feel a great burden has been lifted from the world. You were successful? Ah...yes. The Margonites still roam, but at least they will be prevented from using the Staff of the Mists to do their evil. Perhaps now, I can rest...."

[edit] Notes

  • The Staff has certain benefits which may prove to useful party members depending if it's carried or dropped. A spell caster will no doubt want to hold the staff for the healing power, while tanking characters may appreciate the pressure of the life draining effects when it is dropped.
  • Combines well with Forgotten Retribution, since there are plenty of Margonites along the quest route.
