Walk Through

  1. In order to advance to Adept Status you must turn in 95 Commendation Ribbons to the Promotions Officer in your society stronghold.
  2. Speak to the Inspector of the Adepts in the east wing.
  3. Take the Neydisa Castle portal in Holtburg and run north to 74.8N 18.4E. Go inside the Mage Academy and then exit the surface portal, this will allow you to easily last portal recall. Enter the Corrupted Catacombs (name is bugged, should be Rouge Delvings).
  4. There are three keys you need to obtain, the Celestial Hand encampment is on the west side from the drop, the Eldrytch Web to the north, and the Radiant Blood to the east.
  5. At the end of each wing is a Scout that will give you a key (if same faction) or will drop the key on his corpse (if opposing faction). Note that it is easier to last recall after each key and start from the drop instead of running back through the undead.
  6. Once you have all three keys, use them to open three successive doors (color coded) to the south of the drop.
  7. At the end of the south wing you will find Benedino, kill him and loot the Lens of Filinuvekta.
  8. Return to your faction stronghold and give the lens to your Inspector of the Adepts. The item will disintegrate one hour after it's picked up so you must turn it in quickly.

Lore & Dialog

Celestial Hand

You give Commendations Officer Celestial Hand Commendation Ribbon.
Commendations Officer tells you, "You now qualify to take the tests for the rank of Adept within our Society. You may not turn in commendations again until you have completed the tests."
Commendations Officer tells you, "You are qualified to take the tests for the rank of Adept in our Society, please speak with Aldrion, the Inspector of Adepts, here in this Stronghold."

Aldrion of the Celestial Hand tells you, "You have proven yourself to be somewhat useful to this society, but how trustworthy are you? There is a rogue agent, we suspect working for the assassin Oswald, who infiltrated our ranks and stole an important artifact: a fragment of an ancient lens that belonged to the Filinuvekta, a faction of the Undead of Dericost. We would like you to hunt down the rogue Benedino and recover the lens from him."
Aldrion of the Celestial Hand tells you, "Our scouts have run him to ground in an offshoot of the Mage Academy that Lord Rytheran of Menilesh established. Unfortunately, forces from the Eldrytch Web and Radiant Blood have chased him there as well, and Benedino exploits a stalemate among the three Societies. You must be the one to break the stalemate. Our own forces occupy the western branch of the dungeon. Seek out Captain Donnarion, and he will have further instructions for you."



Captain Donnarion tells you, "Aldrion sent you down here to hunt down Benedino, eh? More power to you. Perhaps you can bust through where the other Societies have held us. Benedino is holed up in the southern wing of the Rogue Delvings. You'll need three keys to get through all the gates to Benedino's hideout. I have one key, but the captains from the Eldrytch Web and Radiant Blood have taken the other two. You'll need to confront them in their own camps to get the keys you'll need. Rest here if you need to, but you should get going as soon as you can."

Radiant Blood

Promotions Officer tells you, "Congratulations, you have completed the tests of the Adept within our Society. You are now well on the way to being a great member of this Society. Keep it up. Your contributions and the assistance you provide both honors and helps our entire Society grow."
Promotions Officer gives you 10 Radiant Blood Trade Tokens.
Promotions Officer tells you, "Now, it is time for the Society to return the favor, in one small way."
You've earned 680,803,762 experience.
The Promotions Officer declares in a loud, clear voice, "Let all within the Stronghold know that <Your Name> has achieved the Rank of Adept within our great Society."
Promotions Officer tells you, "And, as you have not previously achieved this Rank in any Society, I have something extra for you as well."
Promotions Officer gives you Adept's Treasure Key.
