Living Amber

Living Amber is a quest for level 30-35 in Dread Wastes. It is step 15 of 58 in the Dread Wastes storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dread Wastes at 67.2, 62.1. It rewards 4,800 experience and money.

Description

Liquid amber is most efficient for restoring a newly awakened paragon's strength, and is usually provided at a wakening ceremony.

Unfortunately, it seems you did not receive these instructions, so we shall have to improvise.

I can sense a vast quantity of fossilized amber in the lake below us. It will serve, but I am too weak to dig it up myself.

Do this for me, and I will see to it that you are rewarded.

As you feed Korven the Prime each of the nine pieces of living amber, he tells you a bit of history:


  2. Ah yes. One does not forget the taste of amber.

  4. Back when the world was still young, the first kypari trees bloomed.

  6. From the trees, the amber flowed and nurtured us. Kyparite, we called it, the lifeblood of the earth.

  8. It healed our wounds and made us bold. It tasted like sweetness and fire, and gave us strength to conquer all the lesser races.

  10. Many were the threats to our race after the usurpers remade the world. Narrow was the path ahead.

  12. It was I who suggested our greatest warriors be cast in amber to sleep, to be awakened at the swarm's greatest times of need.

  14. It was the sleep from which one could never awake. A great risk. A great sacrifice. But necessary.

  16. Thus, I was the first Paragon. This is why, I am the Prime.

  18. And now, the Klaxxi call us to battle. Now, I am awakened.

Before 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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Kypari ZarDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    What is that tree on the hill to the west? Can it be... Kypari Zar? <Korven the Prime lapses into silence.> When I returned from my final ravage, before being elevated to a paragon, I was given the honor of planting that very tree. I see it has grown into a great kypari, but...
