Sventusk's Gem - Ruins of Gianthold

Did some snooping around - trying to figure out what the truth is on the bound gems we found in Giant hold last night.

When you spoke to Thaer, he told you of six murdered dragons, and asked you to bring him their gems. These gems are in the explorer areas (Soami Gardens, Mount Reysalon, Aussircaex's Valley, Gianthold, Menecthauran Desert and Orchard of the Macabre). You must defeat rare encounters in these areas, and the gems are random drops in the chests. Once you have all six gems, return to Thaer. These gems, and their locations are:

Sventusk's Gem - Ruins of Gianthold
Thadargix's Gem - Sands of Menechtarun
Vuthesjing's Gem - Orchard of the Macabre
Aussiredar's Gem - Aussircaex's Valley
Ormaekrix's Gem - Soami Gardens
Iskaryte's Gem - Mount Reysalon

Once you have given the six gems to Thaer, he will open a portal to Eerie Jungle. This is your fourth explorer area.

There is quite a bit more info in the link - fpr the Reaver's Refuge area.
Once encounter area is completed were on our way to crafting Fragon touched armor.

This link describes how to create and what properties are randomly added to your armor.

The properties you get from applying the runes are random. If you don't get what you want that first time, get another rune and try again, you don't need new armor. There are no tiers with dragontouched armor, you can use the runes in any order.

Stuff like this keeps me coming back for the game. Give me a goal - point me in the right direction and I love seeing if I can achieve the mark.

More info:
Also found in my inventory:
Ancient Dragon Relics.
Ancient Elvin Relics.
Ancient Giant Relics.

Keep em' also needed for either crafting armor or pay offs for getting in to quests.
Looks like once we get in to Giant hold, it'll be like Necropolis a lot of content that keeps you coming back for drops, rare and common for crafting and access......


I believe the Relics are turned in tot he guys in the Giant hold city for the armor.

Good information Duck. I was wondering what to do with those relics and the gem. This game has more dungeons and explorer area than I ever imagined....

Thadargix's Gem - Sands of Menechtarun

Sarge / Bubba This is onother one of the gems we need to open content..... problem is Vic has Thad's and Bbender has Svend's each bound to character.....

Oh well at least we know WHERE to get them now...

I did a quick search on that gem last night and it seems like we won't be able to complete these at our current level (at least Bubba and I won't). I stuck mine in my inventory for the time being.

We should look at who has what for Relics and maybe through some trades we can all get enough of what we need to get the crafted armor. I'd be looking to get the Giantcrafted armor of some type - for either of my characters for that matter.

Good idea - will have to look to see if we can trade them though.
If we can I'm all for passing back and forth.
