I wonder, are they just going to delete the Nightbane Robe newbie quest so all other robes aren't a joke? +18 spell crit IS 1% spell crit. This robe gains you around 2-3 mana and deprives you of .4% crit rating since each int/wis stat is +.2% crit. Is lousy int caster itemization hatred or balance?
I was actually able to just complete this quest. Just like Stormcrow505 mentions above, there is an invisible wall, but somehow I was able to get past it. I just kept swimming against it and up and around and somehow eventually I found myself past it. I don't know. But just as the quest text says, there were 3 skeletons "guarding" the chest, but the chest was there, and was lootable, and the fife was in there, and I took it back to Dorion and got the exact reward listed.
I waited 30 minutes, he spawned in my face, but then he died running away into one of the stone spikes around the altar.
I couldn't loot the corpse, couldn't target it, and so I basically lost a plat-- that's what his gear goes for on Black Moon.
This was added in May 2024 and used to drop from [url=https://shalazam.info/monsters/58-zaruk-the-sightweaver]Zaruk the Sightweaver[/url]. But it's not had any substantial updates in a long time so it may have been removed.
