Saerin wants you to get Arcane Crystal Shards to make the arrows for Shining Blade rangers far more deadly.

Quest information

Objectives

• Defeat the Crystal Ettin.
• Retrieve an Arcane Crystal Shard.
• Return to Saerin for your reward.

Reward

• 2,500 Experience
• 500 Gold

Walkthrough

Go east through southern Sparkfly Swamp and enter the Bloodstone Caves by walking through the portal; do not use the Inscription Stone. In the dungeon, get the dungeon key to go to the second floor. There, head south east until you're in a large, open room with many marble-like pillars. Pull the groups of Skeletons, and kill the Crystal Ettin. Go to Saerin to get your reward.

Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Saerin

Back again, <Character name>? Good.

The guardians of the Bloodstone Caves are harvesting arcane crystal shards deep within the dungeon. We are in need of more supplies, and in the hands of a good fletcher those shards can turn ordinary arrows into armor-piercing thunderbolts. Before our archers, the White Mantle will be little more than a legion of leaky flesh bags. Go! Fetch me a crystal!

 Accept: "I like your style."

 Decline: "You're off the mark. And creepy."

 Ask: "That blasted guardian is gathering arcane crystal shards. Every moment spared is another enemy spared."

Reward dialogue

Saerin

These shards are of astounding quality, <Character name>. With an arrowhead such as this, I could rob a man of his life from a full league away! He would hear nothing but the sound of his final breath. The Shining Blade is grateful. Allow me to give you this.
