Quest Overview

You must have a Repaired Shadow Stone from the Repaired Shadow Stone Quest in order to start this quest. At the end you will have a stone that you can insert into any Isparian Weapon. Unlike other stones, the change is permanent and the stone cannot be removed.

You will also need two Decanter of Essence to complete your Shadowfire Weapon.

Walk Through

1. Show the Repaired Shadow Stone to Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist in Xarabydun to get flagged for the first dungeon portal.
2. Take the Neydisa Castle portal in Town Network [Annex] and run south and up the mountain to the Empyrean Workshop at 66.9N 15.9E. The surface portal just inside can be tied and summoned.
3. From the drop continue east until you come to stairs leading down into a large room. Do not jump down into any of the pits. From there go east and down, once down go west until you come to a room with the Inner Chamber Guardian who you can either kill now, or on your return trip, he drops the Inner Chamber Key. Do not use key yet. Pick up the Empyrean Notebook off the ground (everyone in the party needs one) then portal out.
4. Take the book to Bretself the Translator in Cragstone at 26.0n 47.0e just west of town to get Atlan's Coded Notebook which you then take to Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist in Xarabydun, this flags you for the second portal.
5. Return to the Empyrean Workshop and take the same path down, this time use the Inner Chamber Key to open the door just past the golem and go in the portal to Atlan's Laboratory.
6. From the drop continue to the large ocatagon room with a pit in the middle. Jump down then run south. At the first intersection go west. You'll come to a large room that loops around (shaped like the letter "C"). Follow the room until you come to the northeast corner where tunnel leads off to the east. Go east past the first intersection just past the room (T intersection west south east) then stick right the rest of the way.
7. You will cross several bridges then come to a platform in lava, Atlan's Crafting Golem spawns here and he drops five or six Damaged Stone Infusers. He is on a 5 minute respawn timer.
8. Return to Xarabydun and give the Damaged Stone Infuser to Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist for 161 million xp and the Repaired Stone Infuser.
9. Go to Cragstone and take the Haliana portal west of town at 26.2N 46.3E. From the drop run northwest and give the Repaired Shadow Stone to Shade of Farelaith at 74.3N 58.6E. Then give him a Decanter of Essence and he will return you the Dormant Shadowfire Stone.
10. Apply a Decanter of Essence to the Repaired Stone Infuser to obtain a Charged Stone Infuser.
11. Use the Charged Stone Infuser on the Dormant Shadowfire Stone to obtain the Shadowfire Stone.

Warning - The following steps are only necessary if your require a Life or Nether Wand and once you obtain either the Shadownether Stone or Life-attuned Shadowfire Stone there is no way to convert it back into a Shadowfire Stone.

1. If you are looking to obtain the Shadownether Stone or Life-attuned Shadowfire Stone return the Shadowfire Stone to the Shade of Farelaith. Dialog boxes will pop up, just answer accordingly.
2. Dialogue box pops up asking "Do you wish this stone attuned to the power of Nether?"
   
3. If no, another box pops up asking "Do you wish this stone attuned to be able to craft a Life-attuned Shadowfire Isparian Wand?"
   
4. It is now ready to either be inserted into an Isparian Weapon or given to Sarkin Killcrane in Wai Jhou for xp (161,000,000)and a title.

Note: You will need 1 Decanter for the turn in, 1 Decanter to power the Repaired Stone Infuser, and 1 to make your Isparian Weapon. So that is a total of 3. To get the title "Honorary Shadow Hunter" you have to give a completed stone to Sarkin Killcrane, which means if you want both the title and the stone you will need to repeat the quest.

Lore & Dialog

You give Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator Unreadable Dericost Tome.
Kuyiza begins translating and transcribing the text for you, happily chatting along as she works.
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "It has been such a long while since I have had something new to work with. People usually bring me bits of parchment from Frore... not that I mind Frore..."
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "Sometimes they bring me something about the undead scholar Rytheran... but I've seen most of what is said in those texts already..."
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "Then there was that whole Elemental business... well... I wasn't able to leave my cottage because they were everywhere for a time..."
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "And who would have thought that the Dericost would help us seal up the tunnels of the... oh my..."
Kuyiza stops mid sentence, rapidly finishes her transcriptions and seals the tome with wax.
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "You are working for the Shadow Hunter Killcrane, yes? Quickly, take this directly to him. Don't dawdle. What is in this tome is of great import."
Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator gives you Translated Dericost Tome.

You allow Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist to examine your Repaired Shadow Stone.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "I've found a way to alter these stones to work with an Isparian Weapon, but I need you to get something for me first. I've managed, in my research, to locate a possible location for one of Atlan's Workshops, where he made the first weapons we based the Isparian Weapons on."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "The portal should be at 66.9N 15.9E, along the outside of the Mt. Esper Caldera. Go there, and gather for me whatever information you can."

---

You give Bretself the Translator Empyrean Notebook.
Bretself the Translator tells you, "Hmmm... This seems to be written in some sort of Empyrean Code."
Bretself the Translator tells you, "I can translate it into recognizable characters, but I can't make heads or tails of it. Seems Atlan didn't want other people reading his notes."
Bretself the Translator gives you Atlan's Coded Notebook.

---

You give Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist Atlan's Coded Notebook.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Ahh, the translated tome! Wonderful!"
Ciandra examines the book intently.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "This is going to take a bit of work, but this first part here is a magical "key" to enter Atlan's Laboratory. I'll attune you to the wards, so you can gain entrance. Go in there and see what you can find."
Ciandra chants quietly, and a soft glow infuses your skin for a moment.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Be careful in there. If these wards are any indication, Atlan was more than capable of setting up his lab to be well defended."

---

You give Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist Damaged Stone Infuser.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Perfect! This is just the tool mentioned in these notes."
Ciandra examines the Damaged Stone Infuser.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist gives you Repaired Stone Infuser.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist gives you Ciandra's Stone Infuser Instructions.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "It's been damaged... This will complicate things slightly. Ahh, this is bent too far over here... This part will need to be reset... there."
You've earned 161,000,000 experience.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "There you go, it should work now, but those repairs have made it rather fragile. It'll work as it needs to, but I don't think it'll survive more than one use."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "The book will tell you how to use it. You'll need two Decanters of Essence to make the process work. The first, you will need to bring, along with a Repaired Shadow Stone, to the Shade of Farelaith, in Northern Osteth. He can be found at 74.3N, 58.6E. The second you will need for charging the Stone Infuser. The information is all in the book."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "If you don't have two Decanters of Essence, my Apprentice can direct you in how to get some."

You give Shade of Farelaith Repaired Shadow Stone.
Shade of Farelaith tells you, "You must be from the mortal, Ciandra. She sent her apprentice to ask my aid in altering these stones. I can aid you, but I will need a source of Pure Mana to do so. The act of setting these stones against their creators is draining on my spirit, and would soon end my existence without the aid of the Mana."
Shade of Farelaith tells you, "I'll hold onto this, and make the preparations to this stone. Get for me a Decanter of Essence. They hold enough power for me to complete the process."
You give Shade of Farelaith Decanter of Essence.
Shade of Farelaith tells you, "Ahh, yes mortal, this will do."
Farelaith drains the decanter. Glowing slightly, he focuses his anger against the Shadows into the Repaired Shadow Stone. The last, minor flaws in the crystal disappear, and the stone now radiates a gentle warmth, where before it was cold.
Shade of Farelaith tells you, "There, this should meet your needs, and be an instrument of my vengeance as well. Here"
Shade of Farelaith gives you Dormant Shadowfire Stone.

You use the Charged Stone Infuser on the Dormant Shadowfire Stone. The Infuser crackles with energy and shatters as the power fills the now complete Shadowfire Stone.

Shade of Farelaith gives you Shadownether Stone.

---
