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.
If you're doing this quest in Wild's End you go talk to Kaia(Tailor) (shes SW of Malia) by right clicking and looking at her inventory which causes the quest to auto update. Then just return to Malia for your sweet reward.
