Quest text[edit]

I'm not able to glean anything from this myself. But if there is any information to be gained from this locket, Bastea, the Jeweler Trainer in Kion will be able to find it. Her knowledge and skill with gems and various jewelery is quite extensive. Take this to her and see if she can provide any information about it.

You have received 1 Dirty Old Locket.


Bastea tells you, Oh, hello <player>. What can I do for you?

Bastea tells you, A locket you say? Interesting. I am honored that you are willing to entrust such an antique to me. I shall take a look and see what I can discover about it, though it will take me some time to examine it fully. I recommend you use these cleansing solvents on it before giving it to me. First I'll have you use a cleansing foam on it. It will help to break up all the dirt on the entire piece first.

Bastea tells you, The cleansing foam should remain on the piece for a few minutes. The foam will need that long to soak into all the dirt and break it up. If it is very dirty, then you can keep the foam on there longer without it hurting the piece at all. Once two or three minutes have passed, then use the Jewelry Rinse on it to remove the foam.

Bastea tells you, Once the rinse is applied, it will react with the foam to trap the dirt within it, and wash both the foam and the dirt off of the piece. It works rather well I think, all without any detrimental effects to the jewelry itself. I'm really quite proud of my concoction. Go ahead and use the foam on the locket now to get it started.

You have received 1 Bastea's Jewelry Cleansing Foam.

You have received 1 Foam Covered Locket.

Bastea tells you, Now let the locket soak for a moment. Once it is done soaking, use the rinse to clean it all off, then bring the locket back to me so I can have a better look at it's markings.

The locket has soaked long enough. You should talk to Bastea to get the bottle of Jewelry Rinse from her..

Bastea tells you, I think we've given the foam plenty of time to work. Here's the rinse for you to apply. Go ahead and use it right now.

You have received 1 Bastea's Jewelry Rinse.

You have received 1 Old Shiny Locket.

Bastea tells you, So let's see! How did it work out?

Bastea tells you, My goodness! It sure has worked a wonder on this locket! But of course, I knew it would. Leave this to me for awhile, and I will learn what I can from it, and make any repairs that it might need. Come back to me later and I should have more information for you. For now, Sindenis may want to know that I am working on cleaning this up.


Sindenis tells you, Greetings <player>! Did Bastea say she was able to help you out?

Sindenis tells you, Oh, excellent news <player>! Hopefully she will find out if there is anything significant about that locket. While you were working on that, I finished reading all the information available to me within the scrolls, and I am just about ready to begin practicing the techniques mentioned therein. In the meantime, I have another task for you that would help me out considerably.

Sindenis tells you, Tomas, the Elemental Archer Trainer in Dalimond has decided to assist me with my research however he can, although he isn't able to do much himself. Like me, he is unable to leave his post in Dalimond, but I know he is working with Thurid, the Archwizard, to some degree. Please see if there is anything you can do to assist them while I begin practicing these techniques.
