Quest Overview

This quest gives you 40,000+ luminance plus the Bloodstone life magic wands. You can hand in the wand for additional luminance if you cannot wield it. This is an extremely difficult quest, with a fellowship of experienced players recommended. It is possible to solo this quest without rares but is difficult.

Walk Through

1. Pick up the Carefully rolled scroll next to Battle Lord Gregor at the end of the Luminance Flagging Quest. Everyone must pick up a scroll.
2. Hand the Carefully rolled scroll to Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator in Zaikhal for the Bloodstone Report.
3. Hand the Bloodstone Report to Sir Donovan, who is at 83.8N 4.3W next to the hut in the Gurog area.

Lore & Dialog

You give Sir Donovan Bloodstone Report.
Sir Donovan tells you, "What's this? Hmmm..."
Sir Donovan carefully reads the scroll.
Sir Donovan tells you, "Well, this is disturbing. I've faced one of these Bloodstones before. They're not exactly pushovers in a fight. I'd hate to see what an army of them could do."
Sir Donovan tells you, "See if you can find this pillar mentioned, and find this Lord Kastellar, or anything else that will help us get to the bottom of this mystery."
Sir Donovan tells you, "I'd expect, given the wording, that this pillar is somewhere close to this Battle Lord Gregor. I'd start my search there."
Sir Donovan tells you, "If nothing else, we at least need to shut down the creation of these Bloodstones."
Sir Donovan tells you, "This ritual they mention worries me. Anything that involves the Archons and Geraine bodes very ill for the rest of us."

As Lord Kastellar collapses into dust, a maniacal voice echoes in your mind, "You're too late <killer>! The Bloodstones are complete, and you will never stop them now!"

---

You give Sir Donovan Research Notes.
Sir Donovan reads the first couple of pages, but shuts the book once it moves into the technical creation of the Bloodstones.
Sir Donovan tells you, "Sometimes, Kuyiza amazes me."
Sir Donovan tells you, "I'll send this book to the Prince. With any luck, either he or Asheron will be able to make heads or tails of the notes."
Sir Donovan tells you, "As for this part Kuyiza noted. This I can do something about now."
Sir Donovan tells you, "I can use this enchantment she noted to protect you from the wards on this facility. Since you've succeeded in finding everything so far, it's only proper I let you see this through."
Sir Donovan tells you, "Find this Bloodstone Facility, do whatever you can to hamper their production. Better yet, see if you can find this 'Master Bloodstone' they mention. Bring me back proof of your success, and I'll make sure you are properly rewarded for it."
Sir Donovan tells you, "Now, as for this enchantment..."
Sir Donovan mumbles a few words, while tracing a finger through the transcribed array. Then he reaches out and touches your forehead. A jolt of power passes through your body, making your hands and feet go numb for a moment.
Sir Donovan tells you, "Well, that seemed to work. Let us hope Kuyiza transcribed it properly..."
Sir Donovan tells you, "Good luck!"

---

You allow Sir Donovan to examine your Shattered Master Bloodstone Shard.
Sir Donovan tells you, "Well, it looks like you were successful."
Sir Donovan tells you, "You've done well. That crystal radiates a ton of geomantic power. The Master Bloodstone must've been very powerful."
Sir Donovan tells you, "Here, let's see if we can put some of that power to work for you."
You hand over 1 of your Shattered Master Bloodstone Shards.
Sir Donovan pulls out some salvaged supplies, and converts a section of the shard into a rather delicate looking wand.
Sir Donovan gives you Delicate Bloodstone Wand.
You've earned 304,546,622 experience.
You've earned 42,399 Luminance.
Sir Donovan tells you, "And, to honor your success in the eyes of your peers."
Sir Donovan awards you the title, "Bloodstone Hunter".
Sir Donovan tells you, "If you are not specialized in the use of Life Magics, I can reinforce the wand to make it a bit less delicate, but it'll weaken its effects slightly. Just hand it back to me and I'll do so."
Sir Donovan tells you, "Also, if you wish a reward other than the wand, hand me back the reinforced wand, and I'll release the Luminance trapped within the crystal and channel it into you."

---

You allow Sir Donovan to examine your Delicate Bloodstone Wand.
Sir Donovan tells you, "Very well. This will only take a moment."
You hand over 1 of your Delicate Bloodstone Wands.
Sir Donovan gives you Sturdy Bloodstone Wand.

---

You give Sir Donovan Sturdy Bloodstone Wand.
Sir Donovan tells you, "Very well. Let's see if I can remember how Nalicana taught me to release the luminance in an item..."
Sir Donovan concentrates, and the wand in his hands disintegrates. Then he reaches out and touches your forehead.
You've earned 5,000 Luminance.
Sir Donovan tells you, "There. That worked pretty well."
