Amber Is Life

Amber Is Life is a quest for level 30-35 in Dread Wastes. It is step 13 of 58 in the Dread Wastes storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dread Wastes at 66.9, 65.3. It rewards 4,800 experience and money.

Description

In order for our efforts against the mantid empire to continue, we require more amber.

There is a great deposit of amber underneath the lake to the south, but the area is inhabited by a savage saurok tribe.

I cannot spare anyone else. You must go to the lake and test the tribe's strength. Thin their numbers and eliminate their leader, who is probably hiding in his underground cavern.

Surely this is not too great a task for you?

Mistblade Scale-Lord is under ground. Near the south-eastern corner of the lake is a tiny cave entrance that doesn't show up on the map. The cave entrance is in the middle of a rock, positioned under a tree, between 2 camp fires.

After killing the Mistblade Scale-Lord you free Koven from the amber and after a few words he eventually gives you another 2 quests.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Cry From DarknessDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    So, you survived the imperial clutches. You are... resilient. The Klaxxi hear another paragon to the north, among the sha-scorched roots of Kypari Vor. This one cries out in terror and agony. It cannot be saved. The Klaxxi want him put down. Go and defeat him or do not return here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Feeding the BeastDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    I must join the Klaxxi Council and the other paragons immediately, but I am barely strong enough to stand. I must feed, Wakener. I sense the beating hearts of creatures on the northern bank of the lake. Kill them for me, and I shall do the rest.
