Sshranu, Sslanis' local alchemist has an idea for a new type of potion, but they're lacking in resources (and a viable test subject), perhaps you can help with this potion, and maybe get something out of it for yourself.


Quest text[edit]

Talk with Sshranu to learn about this new potion.

Yes, yes, what is it? Help? No no, this one doesn't have time to help <player>...Help Sshranu? Yes! Sshranu could use <player>'s help! This one has been working on something, a new kind of potion, and is in need of some ingredients.

Ingredients Sshranu has asked around for... And ingredients Sshranu has yet to receive. If <player> could go around and inquire what is taking so long, Sshranu would be very thankful.

A reward? Of course, this one will be sure to reward <player>, Sshranu will make a batch of this new potion for <player>, free of charge! But first, this one needs ingredients before there can be any potions. Here, a list with details on the ingredients and which ones should have them.


Captain Kerrak should be in posession of several creature bits.

Sshranu's crate? Here, take it, this one was under the impression that the half-shell was going to collect it by themselves, so Kerrak has been waiting for Sshranu to come by. Take it! It's been standing here for too long as it is!

Game Feedback: As Kerrak shoves the crate into your hands, the smell quickly tells you why Kerrak wanted to rid himself of it so eagerly.

Fillet tells you, Sage for Sshranu? Fillet will check but...No, this one doesn't appear to have any Sage left, perhaps <player> could gather some in this one's stead? This one really can't leave the storage unattended, you never know when some half-shell decides to sneak in to steal some Salt Rocks! No need to return to Fillet afterwards, this one will have another one gather up some sage for the storage at a later date, just gather enough for Sshranu's purposes.


Fillet was supposed to bring a bundle of Sage to Sshranu.

<player> should be able to find Sage just north of Sslanis, on the hills of Miner's Mound. Be careful though, this one wouldn't want <player> to have a nasty encounter with the native spiders on the way over there.


It appears Fillet is fresh out of Sage, they suggest you gather some to bring back to Sshranu from the hills of Miner's Mound, Five should be sufficient.

Game Feedback: You've gathered enough Sage for Sshranu.

Why hello there, what brings a traveler like you to our small settlement? Dusky Mushrooms? Oh no friend, Cassath cannot help you with that. What? For Sshranu? Well why didn't you say so, Cassath can always make an exception for friends of Sshranu!


Talk with Cassath about the missing shipment of Dusky Mushrooms, you can find Cassath in Parsinia.

Dusky Mushrooms, correct? Cassath wouldn't have any on claw at the moment, but Cassath could direct you the someone that does. A Dryad living in the Jungle of Sslanis, she grows them herself, though she is rather wary of strangers.. Here, take this note and give it to her, it should explain everything for her.


Find the Dryad Cassath spoke of, she should reside in the Sslanis Jungle, not too far north from the stone pyramid.

Halt! Who are you? <player>? I don't think I've ever heard of you.. Oh! A note from Cassath? I'd like to have a look at that if you don't mind.. <Eleva reads the note, murmering several keywords>.."Friends"... "Dusky Mushroom"...Alright, if Cassath trusts you, I will trust you.

Please do not take more of these mushrooms than you need though, they are really sensitive and difficult to cultivate.


Eleva has given you permission to take some of the Dusky Mushrooms she has been growing. Gather some to fill in Cassath's order.

Game Feedback: As you pick the mushrooms, they remind you of a clear night's sky. Eleva has been keeping a close eye on you though and you figure you have gathered enough now.


You've gathered all the missing ingredients, you should propably head back to Sshranu now.

<player> has returned? Does that one have all the ingredients? Yes? Great! Hand them over and Sshranu will get started on the potion. This one will have to ask <player> to wait shortly, it shouldn't take too long. Sshranu can't express how grateful this one is!


Wait for Sshranu to finish creating the mixure.

Game Feedback: You've waited long enough for even an inexperienced Alchemist, Sshranu will most likely be done by now.



Check with Sshranu to see whether the Potion is finished or not.

It's finished! Here, would <player> be so kind as to test it for Sshranu? What, side-effects? No, no, Sshranu has made sure it's completely harmless. No please, try it, Sshranu needs to make sure that the effects are what this one wishes for.


Wait for the effect to wear off.

Game Feedback: Well, atleast it didn't hurt... much, report back to Sshranu with your findings


Report back to Sshranu about the effects of the potion

Alright... Sshranu may have not expected that effect, still, this one would not consider it a failure! What? Compensation? Oh, right, Sshranu did promise that to <player>, but tell me friend, isn't knowledge the best reward? Here, This one will help you in learning to recreate the mixture, and a more stable concoction at that!
