What to do
Description
In the old days, we used certain deep-mined salts in cleansing processes and rituals. As you can see around you, mining is no longer valid, as these fragile rocks are hanging on to each other. On the day of the Devouring of K'aresh, a never-before-seen mineral surfaced. The Blood of K'aresh is a blue mineral with some deposits to the west of here. Even though K'aresh is dying, I should follow the old traditions to the end. Please collect deposits from sand striders or veins and bring them to me.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Outcast's Request
I felt it. Something happened in that dome. Something--no... someone... My friend, I do not know your name or where you came from, but this is it! It has to be! The ruined town of Sufaad to the southeast of here was where I resided as a Wastelander.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cleansing the Void
Now that you have brought me all that I need, the ritual of return can begin. You see, stranger, the items you recovered were stowed in my hovel for over a hundred thousand years. The Void that surrounds us leaves its mark on everything it touches.
