Getting Started

To start, you need to go to one of the Tibian Explorer Society headquarters. So talk to Mortimer in Northport, or Angus in Port Hope:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: join
• Mortimer/Angus: Do you want to join the explorer society?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Fine, though it takes more then a mere lip service to join our ranks. To prove your dedication to the cause you will have to acquire an item for us ...
• Mortimer/Angus: The mission should be simple to fulfil. For our excavations we have ordered a sturdy pickaxe in Kazordoon. You would have to seek out this trader Uzgod and get the pickaxe for us ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Simple enough? Are you interested in this task?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: We will see if you can handle this simple task. Get the pickaxe from Uzgod in Kazordoon and bring it to one of our bases. Report there about the pickaxe.

To become an official member, you need to prove that you care and bring the Dwarven Pickaxe you ordered from the dwarves to the dig site. Go to Kazordoon and talk to the blacksmith Uzgod, who sells and buys weapons near the depository:

• Player: hi
• Uzgod: Hiho Player! Wanna weapon, eh?
• Player: pickaxe
• Uzgod: True dwarven pickaxes having to be maded by true weaponsmith! You wanting to get pickaxe for explorer society?
• Player: yes
• Uzgod: Me order book quite full is. But telling you what: You getting me something me lost and Uzgod seeing that your pickaxe comes first. Jawoll! You interested?
• Player: yes
• Uzgod: Good good. You listening: Me was stolen valuable heirloom. Brooch from my family. Good thing is criminal was caught. Bad thing is, criminal now in dwarven prison of dwacatra is and must have taken brooch with him ...
• Uzgod: To get into dwacatra you having to get several keys. Each key opening way to other key until you get key to dwarven prison ...
• Uzgod: Last key should be in the generals quarter near armory. Only General might have key to enter there too. But me not knowing how to enter Generals private room at barracks. You looking on your own ...
• Uzgod: When got key, then you going down to dwarven prison and getting me that brooch. Tell me that you got brooch when having it.

The blacksmith's order book is full, but if we help him, he will make an exception for us. He asks us to bring his Family Brooch (The emblem of a dwarven family is engraved on it.) in exchange for a Pick. It was stolen, but fortunately the criminal was caught. Unfortunately, the brooch is staying with the criminal in Dwacatra, a prison near Kazordoon. To get inside, you'll need the Key 3802 (obtainable as part of the Emperor's Cookies Quest).

Once you have the key, go down to Dwacatra. The entrance to it is located near the main entrance to Kazordoon. You will have to deal with a fair number of Orcs, Minotaurs, Dwarves and Cyclops.

Also watch out for stronger monsters, such as Minotaur Guard, Orc Berserker and Minotaur Mage.

Take your time and you won't die.

While you're there, ditch the hole near the well with a shovel and go down into it. (World Map)

Expect 3-4 Dwarf Guards and 3-4 Dwarf Soldiers.

The brooch is hidden in a box behind the door, take it and go to Uzgod:

• Player: hi
• Uzgod: Hiho Player! Wanna weapon, eh?
• Player: pickaxe
• Uzgod: You got me brooch?
• Player: yes
• Uzgod: Thanking you for brooch. Me guessing you now want your pickaxe?
• Player: yes
• Uzgod: Here you have it.

There is also another method of obtaining a Dwarven Pickaxe. It is necessary in this cleu to go on a search to one of the southern mines of Kazordoon. With the Dwarven Pickaxe you receive, return the Explorer Society, and hand it over to the appropriate person:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: pickaxe
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you get the requested pickaxe from Uzgod in Kazordoon?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Excellent, you brought just the tool we need! Of course it was only a simple task. However ...
• Mortimer/Angus: I officially welcome you to the explorer society. From now on you can ask for missions to improve your rank.

As of now, you officially belong to the Tibian Explorer Society, and your rank is Novice.

Novice rank (Novice)

The 3 missions given below are for members with the rank of Novice. After completing them, you get promoted. The missions can be done in any order.

Mission: Ice Delivery

The mission involves getting ice from Folda using a special pick (Ice Pick). The ice is in the form of stalactite. It melts quickly (in 10 minutes) so you need to hurry when you get it. It is recommended that you take this mission from a representative in Northport, which is closest to the island:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: ice delivery
• Mortimer: Our finest minds came up with the theory that deep beneath the ice island of Folda ice can be found that is ancient. To prove this theory we wouldneed a sample of the aforesaid ice ...
• Mortimer: Of course the ice melts away quickly so you would need to hurry to bring it here ...
• Mortimer: Would you like to accept this mission?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer: So listen please: Take this ice pick and use it on a block of ice in the caves beneath Folda. Get some ice and bring it here as fast as you can ...
• Mortimer: Should the ice melt away, report on your ice delivery mission anyway. I will then tell you if the time is right to start another mission.

Take the Ice Pick you will get by taking the mission and swim to Folda. Enter the main cave and follow the map:

The monsters you will face along the way are: Frost Troll, Rotworm, Minotaur, Minotaur Archer and Slime. Kill them and try to get the ice as quickly as possible so that the monsters don't have time to revive.

You get the ice sample by using the Ice Pick on the stalactite. Return to the Explorer Society headquarters and tell them you have a supply of ice:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: ice delivery
• Mortimer: Did you get the ice we are looking for?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer: Just in time. Sadly not much ice is left over but it will do. Thank you again.

Jeżeli lód ci się roztopił (co się zdarza), nie przejmuj się. Masz kolejną szansę.

Mission: Butterfly Hunt

In this mission, Explorer Society are looking for fresh species of special butterflies. For each butterfly you will get a Butterfly Conservation Kit to take a fresh body of different butterflies.

Ask for the mission:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: butterfly hunt
• Mortimer/Angus: The mission asks you to collect some species of butterflies, are you interested?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: This preparation kit will allow you to collect a purple butterfly you have killed ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Just use it on the fresh corpse of a purple butterfly, return the prepared butterfly to me and give me a report of your butterfly hunt.

First you need to find a purple Butterfly. They are the easiest to find. They can be found around the marshes north of Port Hope, the grassy areas south of Port Hope, in Ab'Dendriel as well as many other places in Tibia. such as in Carlin near the druid guild.

Once you have found and killed the purple Butterfly, use the Butterfly Conservation Kit on the remains and return with them to your employer:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: butterfly hunt
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you acquire the purple butterfly we are looking for?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: A little bit battered but it will do. Thank you! If you think you are ready, ask for another butterfly hunt.
• Player: butterfly hunt
• Mortimer/Angus: This preparation kit will allow you to collect a blue butterfly you have killed ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Just use it on the fresh corpse of a blue butterfly, return the prepared butterfly to me and give me a report of your butterfly hunt.

You get another container, and the next specimen to catch is a blue butterfly. These are less common, but can be found near Port Hope, usually with purple butterflies. There are also a few near the north and south banks of Port Hope, along the river in the jungle, on a hill on Cormaya or on Meriana.

After killing and bagging the butterfly's body, return to return the container and pick up another:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: butterfly hunt
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you acquire the blue butterfly we are looking for?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Again I think it will do. Thank you! If you think you are ready, ask for another butterfly hunt.
• Player: butterfly hunt
• Mortimer/Angus: This preparation kit will allow you to collect a red butterfly you have killed ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Just use it on the fresh corpse of a red butterfly, return the prepared butterfly to me and give me a report of your butterfly hunt.

Next to be captured is the red butterfly. Most people have a problem with it. There is no designated spawn for them, but they are spotted in the corner of the jungle north and south of Port Hope, in Trapwood, near the city, southeast of Banuta, and around the river in Tiquanda, on Vandura Island in Liberty Bay near the sugar cane.

After catching the red butterfly, take it to whoever needs it:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: butterfly hunt
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you acquire the red butterfly we are looking for?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: That is an extraordinary species you have brought. Thank you! That was the last butterfly we needed.

Mission: Plant Collection

In this mission you need to collect 3 different types of jungle plants. For each plant you will get a Botanist's Container to use it on the plants to collect. First, ask about the mission:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: plant collection
• Mortimer/Angus: In this mission we require you to get us some plant samples from Tiquandan plants. Would you like to fulfil this mission?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Fine! Here take this botanist's container. Use it on a jungle bells plant to collect a sample for us. Report about your plant collection when you have been successful.

The first plant you need to collect is the so-called Jungle Bells. They can be found on the ground along the south side of Port Hope, very close to the city and north of Port Hope. You can easily recognize such a plant by its distinctive blue color.

Jungle Bells

When you find it, use the container on it and return with it to the principal:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: plant collection
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you acquire the sample of the jungle bells plant we are looking for?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: I see. It seems you've got some quite useful sample by sheer luck. Thank you! Just tell me when you are ready to continue with the plant collection.
• Player: plant collection
• Mortimer/Angus: Use this botanist's container on a witches cauldron to collect a sample for us. Bring it here and report about your plant collection.

Now you need to get a sample of the Witches Cauldron Plant. You can find them a bit deep in the jungle. The easiest way to look for them is along the river. Go west from Port Hope to the north side of the river and follow the river until it turns north.

Witches Cauldron Plant

After collecting, return with a sample of the plant:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: plant collection
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you acquire the sample of the witches cauldron we are looking for?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Ah, finally. I started to wonder what took you so long. But thank you! Another fine sample, indeed. Just tell me when you are ready to continue with the plant collection.
• Player: plant collection
• Mortimer/Angus: Use this botanist's container on a giant jungle rose to obtain a sample for us. Bring it here and report about your plant collection.

Finally, you need to find a sample of the Giant Jungle Rose plant. You can find one near the Witches Cauldron Plant.

Giant Jungle Rose

After getting the plant, give it back:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: plant collection
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you acquire the sample of the giant jungle rose we are looking for?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: What a lovely sample! With that you have finished your plant collection missions.

The rank of Journeyman.

After completing these three missions (in any order) you will be promoted to the next rank.

Mission: Lizard Urn

Request for a mission:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: lizard urn
• Mortimer/Angus: The explorer society would like to acquire an ancient urn which is some sort of relic to the lizard people of Tiquanda. Would you like to accept this mission?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: You have indeed the spirit of an adventurer! In the south-east of Tiquanda is a small settlement of the lizard people ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Beneath the newly constructed temple there, the lizards hide the said urn. Our attempts to acquire this item were without success ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Perhaps you are more successful.

You have to go to Chor village and find a certain urn. There you will face a battle with lizards of all kinds. They are not strong, but there is a horde of them, so you'd better take a good team with you.

Go underground and defeat a couple of Lizard Snakecharmers who are waiting for you. Continue walking north until you find a door with a flickering handle, open it and get the Funeral Urn, take it to the Explorer Society quarters to finish this mission:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: lizard urn
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you manage to get the ancient urn?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Yes, that is the prized relic we have been looking for so long. You did a great job, thank you.

Mission: Beholders Secrets

Ask the mission:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: bonelord secrets
• Mortimer/Angus: We want to learn more about the ancient race of bonelords. We believe the black pyramid north east of Darashia was originally built by them ...
• Mortimer/Angus: We ask you to explore the ruins of the black pyramid and look for any signs that prove our theory. You might probably find some document with the numeric bonelord language ...
• Mortimer/Angus: That would be sufficient proof. Would you like to accept this mission?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Excellent! So travel to the city of Darashia and then head north-east for the pyramid ...
• Mortimer/Angus: If any documents are left, you probably find them in the catacombs beneath. Good luck!

In this mission you have to prove that the Beholders have built the Dark Pyramid northeast of Darashia (the pyramid is now under siege by Minotaurs). This is quite a dangerous place, so you might need the help of a knight, or just a higher lvl character. An even better option is Invisible, as only the Minotaur Mage can see the invisible.

Enter this pyramid. The first level underground is inhabited by a lot of Minotaurs and Minotaur Guards. Go east and down to the lower level: On the next level you will find Minotaur Guards and Minotaur Archery, go west and north to the next level. Here there are a large number of Minotaur Guards, Minotaur Archers, and Minotaur Mages hanging around. Go north and down the stairs. Here you will find only one Mummy. Go downstairs.

There are no monsters here, open the door and take out the Wrinkled Parchment from the box. Take your find to the Explorer Society headquarters and return it:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: bonelord secrets
• Mortimer/Angus: Have you found any proof that the pyramid was built by bonelords?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: You did it! Excellent! The scientific world will be shaken by this discovery!

Mission: Orc Powder

Pick up the order:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: orc powder
• Mortimer/Angus: It is commonly known that orcs of Uldereks Rock use some sort of powder to increase the fierceness of their war wolves and berserkers ...
• Mortimer/Angus: What we do not know are the ingredients of this powder and its effect on humans ...
• Mortimer/Angus: So we would like you to get a sample of the aforesaid powder. Do you want to accept this mission?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: You are a brave soul. As far as we can tell, the orcs maintain some sort of training facility in some hill in the north-east of their city ...
• Mortimer/Angus: There you should find lots of their war wolves and hopefully also some of the orcish powder. Good luck!

Your goal is to get special orc ashes. You have to go to "Ulderek's Rock" (Orc Fortress) in search of them.

Fighting various orcs along the way, get to the hills. Go up the ramp, you will meet a lot of orcs there and especially leaders and warlords. Five levels up you'll find a door with a glowing red handle and a chest behind it, open the chest and you'll find Orc Powder.

Take it to the Explorer Society and talk to the commissioner:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: orc powder
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you acquire some of the orcish powder?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: You really got it? Amazing! Thank you for your efforts.

• Player: elven poetry
• Mortimer/Angus: Some high ranking members would like to study elven poetry. They want the rare book 'Songs of the Forest' ...
• Mortimer/Angus: For sure someone in Ab'Dendriel will own a copy. So you would just have to ask around there. Are you willing to accept this mission?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Excellent. This mission is easy but nonetheless vital. Travel to Ab'Dendriel and get the book.

Your task is to find a copy of elven poetry. First you need to get to Hellgate, the entrance to which you'll find in the Ab'Dendriel underground.

Once there, follow the path marked below (along the way you'll encounter monsters such as Skeletons, Ghouls, Rotworms, Slimes, Demon Skeletons, Elves, Elf Scouts):

The room below has Elves and Elf Scouts, as well as the Elven Poetry Book:

• Mortimer/Angus: Did you acquire a copy of 'Songs of the Forest' for us?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Let me have a look! Yes, that's what we wanted. A copy of 'Songs of the Forest'. I won't ask any questions about those bloodstains.

Mission: Mission: Memory Stone

Ask about the task:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: memory stone
• Mortimer/Angus: We acquired some knowledge about special magic stones. Some lost civilisations used it to store knowledge and lore, just like we use books ...
• Mortimer/Angus: The wisdom in such stones must be immense, but so are the dangers faced by every person who tries to obtain one...
• Mortimer/Angus: As far as we know the ruins found in the north-west of Edron were once inhabited by beings who used such stones. Do you have the heart to go there and to get us such a stone?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: In the ruins of north-western Edron you should be able to find a memory stone. Good luck.

Head to the island of Edron to Hero Cave. You will get there according to the map below (to kill: Wolf, Hunter, Wild Warrior, a couple of Bear and Wolf):

Then you have to go through numerous underground corridors (a Rope will come in handy) meeting along the way:

Wild Warriors:

Demon Skeletons, Wild Warriors, Priestesses, Ghouls and Beholders surrounded by Skeletons:

Monks, Dark Magiciany, Demon Skeletons, Wild Warriors:

Go down the stairs to the bottom! You will find Memory Stone on the right side of the room. Return with it to the principal:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: memory stone
• Mortimer/Angus: Were you able to acquire a memory stone for our society?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: A flawless memory stone! Incredible! It will take years even to figure out how it works but what an opportunity for science, thank you!

Mission: Mission: Rune Writings

Ask the mission:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: rune writings
• Mortimer/Angus: We would like to study some ancient runes that were used by the lizard race. We suspect some relation of the lizards to the founders of Ankrahmun ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Somewhere under the ape infested city of Banuta, one can find dungeons that were once inhabited by lizards...
• Mortimer/Angus: Look there for an atypical structure that would rather fit to Ankrahmun and its Ankrahmun Tombs. Copy the runes you will find on this structure...
• Mortimer/Angus: Are you up to that challenge?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Excellent! Here, take this tracing paper and use it on the object you will find there to create a copy of the ancient runes.

You will get a certain important piece of paper, with which you must go to Banuta.

While in Banuta, go like this:

In the northern part of the room you will find a certain strange column. Use the paper you received on it. Return to the Tibian Explorer Society:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: rune writings
• Mortimer/Angus: Did you create a copy of the ancient runes as requested?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: It's a bit wrinkled but it will do. Thanks again.

You receive another rank.

Explorer rank (Explorer).

Mission: Collect Ectoplasm.

Ask for another task:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: mission
• Mortimer/Angus: The explorer society needs a great deal of help in the research of astral travel. Are you willing to help?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Fine. The society is looking for new means to travel. Some of our most brilliant minds have some theories about astral travel that they want to research further ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Therefore we need you to collect some ectoplasm from the corpse of a ghost. We will supply you with a collector that you can use on the body of a slain ghost ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Do you think you are ready for that mission?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: Good! Take this container and use it on a ghost that was recently slain. Return with the collected ectoplasm and hand me that container ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Don't lose the container. They are expensive!

You need to collect ectoplasm from any freshly killed Ghost into the special Ectoplasm Container you get.

Once you've done that, go back and return the full container:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: mission
• Mortimer/Angus: Do you have some collected ectoplasm with you?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: I had no idea that ectoplasm would smell that ... oh, it's you, well, sorry. Thank you for the ectoplasm.

Mission: Spectral Dress.

Items needed:

Rope
Pick

Talk about the mission:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer/Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: mission
• Mortimer/Angus: The research on ectoplasm makes good progress. Now we need some spectral article. Our scientists think a spectral dress would be a perfect object for their studies ...
• Mortimer/Angus: The bad news is that the only source to got such a dress is the queen of the banshees. Do you dare to seek her out?
• Player: yes
• Mortimer/Angus: That is quite courageous. We know, it's much we are asking for. The queen of the banshees lives in the so called Ghostlands, south west of Carlin. It is rumoured that her lair is located in the deepest dungeons beneath that cursed place ...
• Mortimer/Angus: Any violence will probably be futile, you will have to negotiate with her. Try to get a spectral dress from her. Good luck.

You will have to get the dress of The Queen Of The Banshee, who lives deep under Ghostland and Isle of Kings.

The way to reach the queen is shown in the description of the Banshee Quest (maps #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #9, #10, #13 and #20 apply to us).

Talk to her when you reach her:

• Player: hi
• The Queen Of The Banshee: Be greeted, dear visitor. Come and stay ... a while.
• Player: spectral dress
• The Queen Of The Banshee: Your wish for a spectral dress is silly. Although I will grant you the permission to take one. My maidens left one in a box in a room, directly south of here.

After the conversation, return to map #10.

When you find the Spectral Dress, return with it to the headquarters and give it to the principal.

Mission: Spectral Stone.

Go to Port Hope and ask Angus about the next mission:

• Player: hi
• Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: mission
• Angus: With the objects you've provided our researchers will make steady progress. Still we are missing some test results from fellow explorers ...
• Angus: Please travel to our base in Northport and ask them to mail us their latest research reports. Then return here and ask about new missions.

Go to Northport to Mortimer and say:

• Player: hi
• Mortimer: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: latest research reports
• Mortimer: Oh, yes! Tell our fellow explorer that the papers are in the mail already.

Return to Port Hope and inquire about the findings:

• Player: hi
• Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: mission
• Angus: The reports from Northport have already arrived here and our progress is astonishing. We think it is possible to create an astral bridge between our bases. Are you interested to assist us with this?
• Player: yes
• Angus: Good, just take this spectral essence and use it on the strange carving in this building as well as on the corresponding tile in our base at Northport ...
• Angus: As soon as you have charged the portal tiles that way, report about the spectral portals.

You will get Spectral Stone. Use this item on the special field at the top.

Go to the base in Northport and do the same.

Mission: Astral Bridge.

Go to Angus in Port Hope and report back:

• Player: hi
• Angus: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: mission
• Angus: Both carvings are now charged and harmonised. In theory you should be able to travel in zero time from one base to the other ...
• Angus: However, you will need to have an orichalcum pearl in your possession to use it as power source. It will be destroyed during the process. I will give you 6 of such pearls and you can buy new ones in our bases ...
• Angus: In addition, you need to be a premium explorer to use the astral travel ...
• Angus: And remember: it's a small teleport for you, but a big teleport for all Tibians.

From now on, you can travel between Port Hope and Northport via teleports at Explorer Society headquarters. You just need to have Orichalcum Pearl in your backpack, which you can buy from Angus or Mortimer for 80 gp.

Missions performed for lodgings in Liberty Bay and Svargrond.

Rank of Relic Hunter (Relic Hunter).

Mission: The Undersea Kingdom.

Mission: Items needed:

Pick
5000 gp for Helmet of the Deep
200 gp for a trip to Calassa

Ask Berenice, who you can find at the Tibian Explorer Society headquarters in Liberty Bay, about the mission:

• Player: hi
• Berenice: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: mission
• Berenice: The most important mission we currently have is an expedition to Calassa.
• Player: Calassa
• Berenice: Ah! So you have heard about our special mission to investigate the Quara race in their natural surrounding! Would you like to know more about it?
• Player: yes
• Berenice: Since you have already proved to be a valuable member of our society, I will happily entrust you with this mission, but there are a few things which you need to know, so listen carefully. ...
• Berenice: Calassa is an underwater settlement, so you are in severe danger of drowning unless you are well-prepared. ...
• Berenice: We have developed a new device called 'Helmet of the Deep' which will enable you to breathe even in the depths of the ocean. ...
• Berenice: I will instruct Captain Max to bring you to Calassa and to lend one of these helmets to you. These helmets are very valuable, so there is a deposit of 5000 gold pieces on it. ...
• Berenice: While in Calassa, do not take the helmet off under any circumstances. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask Captain Max. ...
• Berenice: Your mission there, apart from observing the Quara, is to retrieve a special logbook from one of the shipwrecks buried there. ...
• Berenice: One of our last expeditions there failed horribly and the ship sank, but we still do not know the exact reason. ...
• Berenice: If you could retrieve the logbook, we'd finally know what happened. Have you understood your task and are willing to take this risk?
• Player: yes
• Berenice: Excellent! I will immediately inform Captain Max to bring you to Calassa whenever you are ready. Don't forget to make thorough preparations!

Go to Captain Max in Liberty Bay and ask about Calassa. Pay 200 gp for the trip and, while there, ask about the Helmet of the Deep. In exchange for 5,000 gp you will get it. Put on the Helmet of the Deep and jump into the water going beyond the bridge.

Go southeast until you reach the shipwreck. When you get there, use the Pick on the Wooden Hatch, then a staircase will appear. Go down. At the bottom will be 2 Quara Constrictors and 3 Quara Hydromancers.

After killing them, go behind the door with the flickering handle and take the Damaged Logbook. Return with it to Berenice and tell her about your find:

• Player: hi
• Berenice: Greetings, what can I do for you?
• Player: Calassa
• Berenice: OH! So you have safely returned from Calassa! Congratulations, were you able to retrieve the logbook?
• Player: yes
• Berenice: Yes! That's the logbook! However... it seems that the water has already destroyed many of the pages. This is not your fault though, you did your best. Thank you!

Ask Lurik at the Explorer Society headquarters in Svargrond about the mission:

• Player: hi
• Lurik: Welcome, Player!
• Player: mission
• Lurik: Ah, you've just come in time. An experienced explorer is just what we need here! ...
• Lurik: And as I heard from Berenice, you have also experience in undersea exploration. ...
• Lurik: Would you be willing to go on a special mission in an underwater ice cave? It's pretty risky, I know. ...
• Lurik: However, I think you have just what it takes! Do you agree?
• Player: yes
• Lurik: Wonderful. I knew that I could count on you. Get old Buddel to bring you to Tyrsung and secretly sneak to the southern coast. ...
• Lurik: The ship of the Venorean hunters should anchor there. They have no idea that they stopped right over the Frozen Trench. ...
• Lurik: This ice cave is said to bear many secrets. We sent one of our best explorers to investigate what's going on down there. ...
• Lurik: However, he has not returned yet and we fear the worst. Please investigate the underwater cave and find out what has happened to him!

Take your Helmet of the Deep and head to Tyrsung Island. Go to the ship located in the south of the island, put on your helmet and jump into the water from the plank on the ship.

Be prepared to meet Quara Constrictors and Quara Mantassins near the teleport. Go south until you reach it (use Levitate at this point):

Continue following the map until you find a frozen man and a helmet further on. Walk up and look at it and you will get a message that you found the frozen man and you should report it to Lurik.

Return with the news to Lurik:

• Player: hi
• Lurik: Welcome, Player!
• Player: mission
• Lurik: These are horrible news. I wonder if there was a malfunction of the diving helmet ...
• Lurik: In any case, a horrible death for that poor explorer. ...
• Lurik: We will try to retrieve the frozen corpse to give him a proper burial. ...
• Lurik: Thank you very much for your help! You have completed two very difficult undersea missions for us and deserve a reward. ...
• Lurik: As token of our appreciation and with respect to your achievement, you are hereby granted the sea scout badge. ...
• Lurik: I will put the according stamp in your explorer log. Thank you again!

You will be given the title of Sea Scout for your efforts, but there are no material benefits from it.

Explorer rank (Explorer).

Mission: The Island of Dragons.

NOTE: If you have completed The Undersea Kingdom mission, but not yet The Frozen Trench mission, you must first complete it before Lurik will want to give you the following task.

Head to Svargrond to Lurik and ask him about the mission:

• Player: hi
• Lurik: Welcome, Player!
• Player: mission
• Lurik: Ah, you've just come in time. An experienced explorer is just what we need here! Would you like to go on a mission for us?
• Player: yes
• Lurik: Now we're talking! Maybe you've already heard of the island Okolnir south of Hrodmir. ...
• Lurik: Okolnir is the home of a new and fierce dragon race, the so-called frost dragons. However, we have no idea where they originate from. ...
• Lurik: Rumours say that dragon lords, that roamed on this isle, were somehow turned into frost dragons when the great frost covered Okolnir. ...
• Lurik: Travel to Okolnir and try to find a proof for the existence of dragon lords there in the old times. I think old Buddel might be able to bring you there.

You will need a Pick for this task. You need to go to the island of Okolnir and investigate the tracks of red dragons, from which the ice dragons are said to have originated.

While on Okolnir, climb the stairs and follow the map:

On map 3 there are 4 Frost Dragons waiting for you, at the marked place use the Pick and go down, NOTE: there are 8 or more Frost Dragons waiting tan us. In the north of map 4 in the wall you will find a dragon frozen in the wall of ice, use the Pick and take Scale from a Frozen Dragon from the ground.

Return to Lurik with your find:

• Player: hi
• Lurik: Welcome, Player!
• Player: mission
• Lurik: A frozen dragon lord? This is just the information we needed! And you even brought a scale from it! Take these 5000 gold pieces as a reward. ...
• Lurik: As you did such a great job, I might have another mission for you later.

You get 5,000 gp as a reward.

Mission: the Ice Music.

Go to Lurik again and ask him:

• Player: hi
• Lurik: Welcome, Player!
• Player: mission
• Lurik: Ah, yes, the mission. Let me tell you about something called ice music. ...
• Lurik: There is a cave on Hrodmir, north of the southernmost barbarian camp Krimhorn. ...
• Lurik: In this cave, there are a waterfall and a lot of stalagmites. ...
• Lurik: When the wind blows into this cave and hits the stalagmites, it is supposed to create a sound similar to a soft song. ...
• Lurik: Please take this resonance crystal and use it on the stalagmites in the cave to record the sound of the wind.

You will get Resonance Crystal. Take Buddel's boat with him to the south of Hrodmir Island near the barbarian settlements (tell the carrier camp). Climb the stairs and head north, passing the Mammoth cloud on the way, reach the stairs leading down, and head northwest:

You will find stalagmites. Use the crystal on them and return to Lurik:

• Player: hi
• Lurik: Welcome, Player!
• Player: mission
• Lurik: Ah! You did it! I can't wait to hear the sound... but I will do that in a silent moment. ...
• Lurik: You helped as much in our research here. As a reward, you may use our astral portal in the upper room from now on. ...
• Lurik: For just one orichalcum pearl, you can travel between Liberty Bay and Svargrond. Thank you again!

From now on, you have the ability to travel between Liberty Bay and Svargrond via teleports at the headquarters in those cities. You just need to have Orichalcum Pearl in your backpack.
