Title: Gemstone Quest Guide
Author: Leafiara
Date Published: 2024-11-26
Updated: 2024-11-26
Overview
Completing the Gemstone quest unlocks a character's ability to use Gemstones, powerful artifacts found in Ascension hunting areas. This multi-step quest will send you on myriad adventures and will likely take at least a few hours to complete even if you know exactly what to do and are able to succeed at the game's toughest encounter on the first try.
Some details on this page might be subject to change in the live release compared to the test server version of the quest that has been used as the basis for this guide.
Pre-Preparation Checklist
- Avoid killing gigases in Eldurhaart in the Hinterwilds. Killing them risks a temporary lockout of a later step.
- If desired, collect a draconic idol, which is a rare drop from squamous reptilian mutants. You can summon the wyrm ahead of her regular schedule by tossing an idol into a fire in Eldurhaart and waiting for a few minutes.
- If needed, gather any specialized aid to defeat the wyrm. This could include enhancives, fixskills, partners, specific gear better suited to a boss battle than to everyday hunting, etc.
Full Spoiler Guide
If you only want general pointers in the right direction, use the MISSION GEMSTONE in-game command.

Step 1
Go to the Hinterwilds and defeat the wyrm in a multi-phase boss battle. Getting credit requires being one of the (up to) five characters for the final phase.
Starting the battle involves locating a gigas ballista whose general location is signaled by monsterbold messaging, killing the gigases guarding it, and firing the ballista into the wyrm as she flies overhead, bringing her down to the ground.
The first phase of the real battle is a conventional fight against the grounded wyrm. In the second phase, the wyrm can take to the skies at times, preventing many grounded attacks from hitting her. Archery, magic, and other ranged attacks still work. In the final phase, the wyrm pulls back to Wyrmreach. Up to five characters who were alive and battling against her when she withdrew go along with her for the climax of the encounter.
After defeating the wyrm, speak with Ulvrig in the Hinterwilds' Eldurhaart at the Altar of the Dragon (room 7503383 or Lich 30026, go door). He'll provide backstory, information, and access to offerings inside a chest, from which you'll get a cloth bundle containing a crumbling gemstone charm and a tattered parchment note pointing you to Sylvarraend.
Step 2
Go to Sylvarraend and speak with Ilyra inside her cottage (room 13050013 or Lich 683, go cottage). Give her the note and the charm to get your next lead, pointing you to Zul Logoth.
Step 3
Bring a few hundred silvers to Zul Logoth (plus round-trip travel fare) and locate the troubadour. (He's a wandering NPC, so there's no specific room; just look around.) Ask him about Beylin, but he'll want a drink before he provides information; bring him Hollow Leg Bock from the Bluerock Brewery, then ask about Beylin again. Now he'll want stitchings and direct you to Solhaven.
Step 4
Go to the Sanctum of Scales (accessible through Solhaven) and hunt patchwork flesh monstrosities until you get three stitchings by looting them. These are monsterbold messages, not physical items.
The messages are pretty lengthy and hard to miss, but if you've been hunting for a while and haven't seen them, you can check MISSION GEMSTONE to see if you've already found the needed stitchings without realizing.
Step 5
Return to Zul Logoth and speak with the troubadour for your next lead, pointing you to Teras Isle.
Step 6
Bring 250k silver to the Golden Helm on Teras Isle (room 3003006 or Lich 1842) and locate the hound somewhere inside. (If the hound is nowhere to be seen, eventually it'll return, so just keep looking around the building.) Ask it about Beylin. Beylin will then arrive, so speak with him and pay 250k to purify the gemstone charm.
Step 7
Return to Sylvarraend and speak with Ilyra about the next step with the gemstone charm, which needs a setting.
Step 8
Go to Moonsedge Castle (near Icemule) and speak with the whitesmith in the jeweler (room 4577057 or Lich 32431, go door) about creating the setting for your gemstone charm. He'll request that you hunt ashen patrician vampires.
Hunt ashen patrician vampires in Moonsedge until you get a message indicating that you've done enough. This message is comparatively easier to miss than the monstrosities from step 5 since it's shorter and there's only one message. If you've been hunting for a while and haven't seen anything due to screen scroll, you can check MISSION GEMSTONE to see if you've finished without realizing.
When done, return to the whitesmith and speak with him to create the setting for your gemstone charm.
Step 9
Return to Sylvarraend and speak with Ilyra for your final lead.
Step 10
Return to the Hinterwilds and defeat the sybil in a boss battle. At the time of this writing, access to the sybil for quest purposes happens through unknown means and the final state of the sybil's abilities is subject to change. Whatever the end result, though, after defeating the sybil and before leaving the room, get out your charm from step 2 and INFUSE it. This officially completes the quest and grants your first Gemstone!
