Quest text[edit]

Speak with Khemarius

There you are. I am surprised it took you so long to come see me again, <player>! I have good news! Would you hear it?

  • What is your news?

Hm, I expected a bit more enthusiasm. Oh well. I was indeed capable of interpreting the last cryptic dream inside the memory crystal. Sadly, the later memories within it are hazy at best. The crystal, however, was very useful in realizing the full potential of the new ability I discovered. Though as you no doubt discovered it packs a punch. So, what did I leave you on last time?

  • Obsidian Golems and Shadow Spiders.

What? I don't recall... Oh, no matter, I assume you are here to learn more of the Drain Bolt?

  • Yes, I am,

I thought so. Very well, I will train you. However, it seems I have so many students now, even some who used to snort in disgust at the thought of a Lunus scholar, that I need to start sending people on quests just to get some spare time. Several others have expressed interest in my work; would you deliver more of these crystals to them? This shouldn't take too long.


Deliver Khemarius' Crystals to BattleMaster Gerix in Kion, Orthondrin at the Observatory Outpost, Avariatus on New Trismus, Anthrindosh at Aubador, and Talaurukar at the Imperial Army Camp

Game Feedback: You have delivered the crystals that Khemarius asked. Return to him in Kirasanct.

Welcome, <player>, what brings you back to me?

  • I have knowledge for you from Khemarius

- BattleMaster Avariatus is in New Trismus

Ah, yes, the drain bolt! Excellent. I thank you.

Be quick, <player>, there are many to train and you are disrupting my view. What can I do for you?

  • I have brought a crystal from Khemarius.

- BattleMaster Gerix is in Kion on Lesser Aradoth

Khemarius? Oh yes, the supposed draining bolt. You have my appreciation. Move along now.

You seem familiar. What news?

  • Crystals from Khemarius with knowledge of the draining bolt.

- BattleMaster Orthondrin is at the Observatory Outpost on the Dalimond Peninsula

Oh yes... I remember now. I hope this helps in battle, I could surely use it against the B'Nari. Thank you.

Good day to you, <player>. What brings you to the camp?

  • Khemarius sent me with a crystal of knowledge for the draining bolt.

- BattleMaster Talaurukar is at the Imperial Army Camp near the Ruin of Tazoon

Oh yes, I have been looking forward to this. One more weapon in my arsenal to use against the welger! You have my gratitude.

Time is short, <player>. The Ebon Guard may attack at any moment. Speak clearly and with purpose.

  • Crystal. Knowledge. Khemarius.

- BattleMaster Anthrindosh is in Aubador near the Western Deadlands

I hope that was a joke, <player>, I do not take mocking lightly. However, I understand your meaning. You bring crystals of knowledge from Khemarius. Excellent.

Back so quickly, <player>? Crystals delivered then?

  • Yes.

Return to Khemarius in Kirasanct

Perhaps I should have sent you on a more dangerous task. Well, I will make this fairly easy. After all, you did help me gain the fame I now enjoy. I should think that killing ten Opal Golems is within your grasp. If you'd be so kind as to bring back five Opal Golem Chips, I would also pay you handsomely in addition to giving you the training you desire.


Kill ten (10) Opal Golems which are found on Char in the shadow of Mount Fury.

Game Feedback: Opal Golems... if only they weren't so deadly. You would love to keep a few around to just... look at. Where were you? Ah yes, Khemarius' task.


Obtain five (5) Opal Golem Chips from the Opal Golems

Game Feedback: The chips do not gleam with as much beauty as their source, but they do play with light in a similar manner. Khemarius better compensate you to part with them.

Game Feedback: After a somewhat tedious task the opal golems lie in rubble and their chips are in your talons. What has gotten into Khemarius? It seems fame may have gone to his head a bit. Best not keep him waiting if he has as many students as he claims.


Return to Khemarius in Kirasanct for your instruction

Ah, there you are! Excellent. You're just in time, in fact. I just finished with a student. Here is a tome I wrote; after reading it you should be able to use a more powerful version of this ability. Oh and here's a little something for those Opal Golem Chips.
