This quest does not require you to craft any pewter signet rings. You will receive a schematic from quest to craft Soldier's Insignia Ring. DO NOT craft any pewter signet rings thinking you can use them for this quest.
I have Ruby, Sapphire, Aquamarine, Opal, Emerald, Diamond, Amethyst, Tourmaline from mining in Hangore for the last few weeks. Also one or 2 other gems I dont know where they are from but not on this last either.
Anyone know, what stats these gems effect?
For my Rogue 9 to 12 these were a staple diet when soloing. Be wary that you don't get an overinflated sense of self-awesomeness and take on something harder without thinking!
As a rogue, avoid these things even if they're blue. Their Sonic Screech things makes you miss your special attacks a lot, and then they Drain Blood. Just not worth the downtime for benefit. Maybe if Bat Meat becomes useful you might want to farm them when you've outlevelled them, but for xp it's a 'NO!' from me.
Schematic can be purchased from Sadie Flintfinger [Armorsmith] in Availia. Second Tab, Righthand column, 3rd item from the top.
Schematic can also be purchased from Brielle Khalion [Weaponsmith] in Availia. Second Tab Lefthand column, 3rd item from the top.
This has been shown by Joppa a few times...as their test NPC for Branching Dialogue with permanent choices.
He is still there and will be utilized showing how they can work with "flags" and dialogue choices as options to come later in game.

I wish they would distinguish between flavor text and an item having a worn effect in some way as most items don't even get flavor text. Zaruk belt straight up says what it does, but I'd like a hard "no this item doesn't do crap, we're just typing words".
Focused on killing Shadowy Thugs and Shadowy Mavens at the thug camp North of Avalia near the aqueducts around loc 3550, 4150. Took about 15 kills and it dropped off a Shadowy Maven for me. Solo'd as a 15 Wiz
I just completed the first two parts using the info on this thread. LOCs are accurate. I looted both of the first two pieces during daytime. The only things I would like to add is that the location to climb up at 3028 3594 was very useful. A friend went with at a climbing skill of 2 and made it up. Secondly the stone location is correct at 2829 3693. I can't believe no one has mentioned this is right in front of a cave entrance. The stone is very small and there are enough Hobgoblins to deal with that I feel its important to mention this to know you are in the right spot. Also, there was a maple tree spawned right next to the rock as well. I hope this helps. Good luck!
