What We Do For Gems

What We Do For Gems is a quest for level 70-73 in Isle of Dorn. It is step 3 of 4 in the Heart of Stone storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Isle of Dorn at 33.9, 79.6. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

According to the earthen, we have to lure the spirit. Or disturb it. Or something.

The four standing stones they mentioned have depleted elemental cores laying around them. There are igneous elementals outside and on the beach to the north. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Could you get me elemental cores? Maybe just a few? We're so close, so we might as well try...

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.

  • Precious GemsIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    So, all they gave us was a location and a garbled riddle... But I guess we know where to start. I can picture it now. Once I have Basalteous's knowledge, I will have nobles and merchants lining up outside my house. No, my mansion! The earthen did say southwest, right?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gems Are ForeverIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    I am so close, I can feel it in my bones. Place the cores next to each standing stone. It is time to summon Basalteous.
