== Quest Overview ==
== Overview ==
The quest is divided into two parts. In the first part you obtain a [[Messenger's Collar]] from the [[Strange Swamp Temple]]. In the second part you travel to a Falatacot dungeon near Stonehold and obtain the [[Falatacot Tome (Messenger's Collar)|Falatacot Tome]]. To enter the 2nd dungeon you must have the collar equipped, which means once you have a collar you only need to go to the 2nd dungeon to complete the quest. The collars are givable, so you can take any character directly to the 2nd part as long as they have a collar on.
* For quest repeats, you can go straight to part 2 and use your old collar to enter the dungeon. The collars are givable, so you can take any character directly to the 2nd part as long as they have a collar on.
<br><br>While the quest can first be completed at level 90, the experience does not cap until level 125. It is possible to run the quest repeatedly and stockpile all your tomes until 125, and turn them all in then. If you have the pack space available to do this it is highly advisable. As an example I ([[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]]) recently saved 13 tomes. Upon reaching 125, I turned them all in and advanced to 129.
