| Oh Brother | Greeting Text You know, my brother, the Surgeon, has never forgiven me for abandoning traditional medicine. He still believes in the old ways, as if stitching up the body can heal the soul—curses, for example. I learned that lesson too late. Our mother died in agony, and I was powerless to help. That's when alchemy called to me—its promise of real power, of true healing. I need these potions, not just for myself, but to show him the way forward. He'll see the truth eventually... even if I have to make him understand the hard way. Completion Text Good. This is only the beginning, but it's a step in the right direction. My brother's methods are futile, bound by the limitations of the past. Alchemy has no such boundaries. I can feel it working already. The potions, the combinations—each one brings us closer to something greater. He may not see it now, but I will show him the power we could wield if he just opened his eyes. | Fetch Potion of Healing (any rarity) (1x) Fetch Potion of Protection (any rarity) (1x) Fetch Potion of Invisibility (any rarity) (1x) | 30 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Rare Accessory 25 Experience 25 Affinity | |
| The Kobold's Chemistry | Complete Quest: "Oh Brother" | Greeting Text I've always been intrigued by the Ice Kobolds. Their adaptability, their strange tenacity... it's more than mere survival—it's something we can learn from. Their biology, their resistance to the cold, could unlock new alchemical properties. What I need from you is to search their territory—there may be something in their environment, or even within their own flesh, we can use. Their blood, their marrow, perhaps even their mucus. Completion Text Excellent. What you've uncovered is fascinating. The Kobolds are far more than just beasts—they're carriers of hidden potential. This reminds me of another experiment I need to conduct. Visit me when you have the time. | Kill Ice Kobold Axeman in Ice Cavern dungeon (5x) Kill Ice Kobold Archer in Ice Cavern dungeon (5x) | 30 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Rare Weapon 25 Experience |
| More Than Meets the Eye | Complete Quest: "The Kobold's Chemistry" | Greeting Text You've heard of the Frost Wolves, no doubt. The rumors say they're guarding something precious, but I believe there's more to it. My work with potions and alchemy has taught me that nothing is ever as simple as it seems. These wolves are just another puzzle to solve. I need you to investigate what they're keeping from us. If there's something powerful hidden away, it could hold the answers to many questions... perhaps even questions I never wanted to ask. Completion Text Impressive. You've uncovered more than I anticipated. The wolves were indeed guarding something of great value, something that could aid my studies. As I suspected, there's more to this world than science can explain. You've done well, but we're not finished. I'll need time to study what you found—come back when I've made some progress. | Explore Ice Cavern Wolf Cave module (1x) (must escape) | 30 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Rare Armor 25 Experience 25 Affinity |

| Hidden Within The Lines | Greeting Text Rumor has it that deep within The Forgotten Castle lies a library filled with cursed grimoires... Do you think you can find it? Completion Text The rumors were true all along... and you brought a book back as well?!

Now, it's time to cook! | Fetch Phantom Flower (any rarity) (1x) Fetch Wardweed (any rarity) (1x) Fetch Lifeleaf (any rarity) (1x) | 75 Unique Gold Coin 2 Random Rare Armor 150 Experience |
| Hocus Pocus | Complete Quest: "Test Run" | Greeting Text I never thought much of old texts... but the power in that last recipe was undeniable. This next one is a little grim, but I think you can handle it. Completion Text Excellent! Don't bother telling me where you found all of these... Here, take these for your trouble. | Fetch Broken Skull (any rarity) (3x) Fetch Grave Essence (any rarity) (3x) Fetch Maggots (any rarity) (3x) | 75 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Rare Weapon 1 Random Rare Armor 150 Experience 25 Affinity |

| Mixing Things Up | Complete Quest: "Hocus Pocus" | Greeting Text Have you ever thought about what might happen if you used four different potions at the same time?! Well, I need you to find out! And, well... try to survive. Completion Text You really did it, and lived to tell the tale! Although... That didn't turn out quite how I expected. | Use Item Potion of Healing (any rarity) in Crypt dungeon (1x) (must escape) (single session) Use Item Potion of Protection (any rarity) in Crypt dungeon (1x) (must escape) (single session) Use Item Potion of Invisibility (any rarity) in Crypt dungeon (1x) (must escape) (single session) Use Item Magic Protection Potion (any rarity) in Crypt dungeon (1x) (must escape) (single session) | 125 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Epic Accessory 1 Random Epic Armor 200 Experience |
| Death In The Air | Complete Quest: "Mixing Things Up" | Greeting Text Flying skulls of the dead have infested parts of The Forgotten Castle... I need you to get rid of as many as you can... but you only have one shot. Completion Text Not bad... once you kill enough of those flying filth it starts getting easier and easier. | Kill Death Skull in Crypt dungeon (7x) (single session) | 125 Unique Gold Coin 2 Random Epic Weapon 250 Experience |
| Death Awakens | Complete Quest: "Death In The Air" | Greeting Text It seems my experiments have not gone unnoticed... Wraiths have risen, surrounded by animated skeletons. The longer we wait, the larger the undead horde will become... I need you to get rid of as many as you can. Please, hurry before this spirals out of control! Completion Text Thanks for taking care of that mess for me... I was beginning to think I might have gone too far with that last experiment. Here, these should cover any trouble I caused you. | Kill Skeleton Swordman in Crypt dungeon (10x) Kill Skeleton Axeman in Crypt dungeon (10x) Kill Skeleton Archer in Crypt dungeon (10x) Kill Wraith in Crypt dungeon (3x) | 125 Unique Gold Coin 2 Random Epic Armor 350 Experience 25 Affinity |

| Secrets and Vermin | Complete Quest: "Death Awakens" | Greeting Text There are rumors that some of the statues among the ruins can be manipulated. I would be grateful if you could investigate the secrets hidden within them. And while you're at it, could you also deal with the giant worms? Those disgusting creatures devour everything in their path—including my alchemical ingredients. Completion Text So the rumors were true! A hidden lever—how fascinating. The ruins still hold many secrets beyond our understanding. Ah, and thank you for dealing with the worms. Those wretched creatures are of no benefit to our lives—especially the larger ones! | Interact with Hidden Statue Lever in Crypt dungeon (1x) Kill Giant Worm in Crypt dungeon (3x) | 150 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Legendary Weapon 300 Experience 25 Affinity |
| Vials and Venom | Complete Quest: "Secrets and Vermin" | Greeting Text Ah, there you are! The Ruins are infested with eight-legged artisans. Time to make a mess of their nests, because their venom has been seeping into my alchemical ingredients, contaminating everything I work with. I need those pots destroyed before their poison spoils another batch of my precious brews! Completion Text Well done! With those spider pots destroyed, my alchemical experiments are back on track. Now I can work without the fear of toxins creeping into my concoctions. | Destroy Spider Pot in Crypt dungeon (15x) | 150 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Legendary Armor 350 Experience |
| Endure And Prevail | Complete Quest: "Vials and Venom" | Greeting Text Here, amidst the darkness and chaos, your mettle will be tested as you strive to survive against the odds.

| Expedition into the Inferno | Complete Quest: "Endure And Prevail" | Greeting Text Many adventurers struggle to navigate the exact paths of the Inferno. The landscape constantly shifts, throwing travelers into confusion. If you could map out the paths of the Inferno, it would be of great help. Completion Text Thank you for your efforts. The underworld is dreadful, but it is also a place where we can find things of great value. That is why we must continue our exploration. | Explore Crypt Bloody Falls module (1x) Explore Crypt Hellcross Bridge module (1x) Explore Crypt Doom Cage module (1x) Explore Crypt Drain module (1x) | 200 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Legendary Weapon 1 Random Legendary Armor 1 Random Legendary Accessory 500 Experience |
| Inferno Obstructors | Complete Quest: "Expedition into the Inferno" | Greeting Text Great demons are obstructing my descent into the Inferno. Deal with them, if you must. All at once. That way, the path might stay safe for a while. Keep that in mind. It's important. Completion Text I have always known of your skill, but seeing you return unharmed is still a relief. Now that the demon of the Inferno has fallen, let us continue our expedition into the deeper depths. | Kill Demon Berserker in Crypt dungeon (3x) (must escape) (single session) | 200 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Legendary Weapon 1 Random Legendary Armor 1 Random Legendary Accessory 500 Experience |
| A King Once Past | Complete Quest: "Inferno Obstructors" | Greeting Text Echoes have been heard deep below The Forgotten Castle... I dare not believe it, but it may be the ghost of the long-lost king. Freeing his soul could finally break the demonic curse that has plagued the castle for generations. Completion Text A triumph beyond measure! The king's soul is finally at peace, and I could feel the air itself grow lighter. You've accomplished more than I could ever repay, but I hope this reward brings you some measure of gratitude. | Kill Ghost King in Crypt dungeon (1x) | 200 Unique Gold Coin 1 Random Legendary Weapon 1 Random Legendary Armor 1 Random Legendary Accessory 1000 Experience |
