Quest Log

Beginning the Collection

Beginning the Collection is a quest for level 60. It rewards 1 reward item and 1 reputation reward.

Description

Let us continue our work by retrieving the most important item of any scholarly study--the lost codex.

It will take some time, but as we continue our work the pages of this work will continue to grow and flourish, just as Korthia has itself for eons.

As for its location, it previously resided deep within the underbelly of Korthia itself inside the Cavern of Contemplation to the south.

We can only hope the Jailer's forces have yet to locate it.

Good luck not dying. There's about 5 things there to fight and it's hard by yourself.

Once you are in the cave (Caverns of Comtemplation), jump down to the right, then right again, then look on the mini map, the book is in the top dead end corner
