Dim Essence Orb


Erelald needs a lot of Dim Essence Orbs. It's good practice but what could he need them for?


Quest text[edit]

Speak to Erelald if you need a Beginner Essence Orb Formula.

Ah, I was just looking for you. Would you be interested in doing a minor task for me, <player>? I'm assuming you know about the dim wisps that hover around near the bottom of the waterfall, and although lower class spells don't require orbs, I have another use for them. If you make one hundred dim essence orbs for me, I'll show you what I mean.

What's the matter? Ah, you don't have the appropriate formula. Well, here you are.


Create 100 Dim Essence Orbs for Erelald.

Game Feedback: You have created enough Dim Essence Orbs and briefly wonder what Erelald could possibly need these for. Time to take them to him!


Return to Erelald with 100 Dim Essence Orbs.

Are those dim essence orbs I see? Let me count to make sure you obtained enough. Five... fifteen... forty-five... eighty... one hundred! These weaker spells don't require essence orbs, but it's good practice for you. More powerful spells require the added magical bonus that essence orbs provide, but for now, trading these to a Sslik for a delicious lunch works just as well. Chef Ganthoss loves to experiment recipes with them, so occasionally, I bring him essence orbs, and then he gives me something tasty on the house. Could you bring them to it for me? Tell it I sent you, it'll understand.


Bring 100 Dim Essence Orbs to Chef Ganthoss in New Trismus.

Mmm, just right. These steaks smell pretty good, doesn't that one agree? Oh, so <player> is Erelald's helping hand. Luckily for <player>, Ganthoss doesn't mind where the essence orbs come from, as long as this one can use them... for cooking experiment... yes. Of course, this one can't let <player> leave empty-handed, that one did make these orbs for Ganthoss after all; here's a steak for <player> and one for Erelald as well. Farewell Gifted, thanks again for the orbs!


Return to Pratt's Pond and speak with Erelald.

My, my, that looks delicious. Others might complain about Ganthoss' cooking, but I enjoy a well-cooked steak. Thank you for the help, <player>.
