|---|---|
| Level: | 50 |
| Rec. Level: | 180 (to research all 20 fields) |
| Type: | Solo |

| Contracts: | Contract for Menhir Research |
Overview
Cara needs your help in collecting Menhir Mana Field signatures.
- Prerequisites
- Although this quest is level 50 and above, you must be level 180 and in a society to reach all 20 of the mana fields. A level 50 may reach up to 16 of the 20 fields for a reduced reward.
Walkthrough & Notes
See also: Menhir Research/Menhir by Efficiency for completing the quest on multiple characters.
- Cara the Apprentice will hand you an Enchanted Mana Stone, which you must use whilst standing at at a menhir mana field to see if the mana fields have changed. Menhir mana fields are typically found at Menhir Rings, but not all menhir rings have mana fields, and not all mana fields are found at menhir rings.
- Menhir mana fields are found inside dungeons and on the landscape all over Dereth. See the map for confirmed locations.
- You can take the stone back to Cara when you have found 5 or more fields, or you can continue on for up to 20 mana fields.
- Turning in the stone at any point completes the quest and resets the repeat timer. If you turn in the stone before you have found 20 fields, a pop-up box will ask you if you want to complete the quest now.
Notes
- The menhir mana fields are numbered, but it does not matter in which order you complete them.
- The Enchanted Mana Stone may be used while running, and using it will not stop you. You must be within the borders of the mana ring to receive credit, however; be as close to the center as possible.
- Giving the stone to Cara is a good way to check how many menhir mana fields you've found. Just be sure to click "No" to prevent completing the quest if you wish to continue searching.
