Walkthrough

Find Verjya Hakahm (Southern Waste of Tarhyl • Vah Rehn camp).

You say, 'Hail, Verjya Hakahm'

Verjya Hakahm says, 'You know... <Player Name>, I'll have to talk to you later.' Verjya pulls a scroll out of her pocket and takes a look at it. 'There's something I want to check on.'

Wait for the camp to reset.

You say, 'Hail, Verjya Hakahm'

Verjya Hakham says, 'Ah, <Player Name>! I was hoping you'd show up!' The vah beastlord has a big grin on her face.

You say, 'Why's that?'

Verjya Hakahm says, 'Because I've got something for you.' Verjya produces a set of three scrolls. 'I checked, they do work. If you've got the stomach for some danger, you can have them.'

You say, 'What are they?'

Verjya Hakahm says, 'Treasure maps.' Seeing your expression, she flicks an ear at you. 'And not just any ordinary ones, either. These are under some... less-than-optimal stars, let's say. Up for some digging?'

You say, 'Why don't you do them yourself?'

Verjya smiles good-naturedly. 'Ahh, I'm not up for all that running about anymore. Plus I do owe you for fetching me from Everchill.' The smile seems forced.

You say, 'Does it have something to do with your missing warder?'

Verjya's grin freezes in place. She seems about to bluster past it, but gives up and looks away, eyes closed. 'You sure know how to cut right to the heart of the matter, don't you?'

You say, 'I... I'm sorry, I was only asking because--'

Verjya Hakahm says, 'It... it just hurts so damned *much*, <Player Name>. It's bad enough normally, but somehow, whatever happened to me in that damned flash of like tore the link worse than any death I've ever seen.' She sighs, collecting herself. 'You know, you always think you're strong enough for anything, but sometimes you're just... not.'

You say, 'Certainly. I'll let you know when I've completed all three.'

Verjya Hakahm says, 'Here you go.' She hands three maps to you. 'A finger-wiggler should be able to identify these for you. Good luck, <Player Name>.' Veryja pats your shoulder, a faraway gleam in her eye. 'Be careful out there, but sail home with full hold, eh?'

You receive Old Easy Treasure Map from Verjya Hakahm.

You receive Old Moderate Treasure Map from Verjya Hakahm.

You receive Old Hard Treasure Map from Verjya Hakahm.

Your journal has been updated. [And You Thought Darkwoods Was Bad...]

 

Journal Text: Verjya gave me three treasure maps. I should bring them to their respective locations when I have a group capable of completing them. I can identify the maps to learn where they go.

Find the dig sites and complete all three maps.

Note: These maps are similar in difficulty to equivalent normal treasure maps.

Return to Verjya Hakahm (Southern Waste of Tarhyl • Vah Rehn camp).

You say, 'I've completed all three treasure maps.'

Verjya Hakahm says, 'Excellent work, <Player Name>.' Verjya claps you on the back. 'I'm very proud of you. Here, take this. It may not look like much, but if you keep working at those maps you'll eventually find something similar to it. Combine the two in a forge and then you'll *really* have something to be proud of.'

You receive (depending on class) from Verjya Hakahm:

• Shadowy Crystalline Orb
• Shadowy Emerald Bracelet
• Shadowy Golden Earring
• Shadowy Porcelain Chalice

You have completed a quest. [And You Thought Darkwoods Was Bad...]

 

Journal Text: I completed all three maps and Verjya rewarded me with a shadowed item. There's nothing more for me to do, but if I should ever find another item like it, I can forge them together to make something much stronger.

You say, 'Not to be rude, and I'm certainly grateful for all the things you've given me, but why are you being so generous?'

Verjya's ears twitch about. 'In honesty? In part, it's because you led me here, but... I may soon need your help with something, <Player Name>, and I'll need for you to not ask me many questions about what it is I'm doing. It won't hurt anyone but me, I swear it, but that is all I will say.'
