Dialogue[edit]
- Upon unlocking the collection
Hiberus Mythseeker Strange Artifact I've recovered an artifact that is acting very strangely when exposed to different kinds of magic. I've got a favor to ask of you that might help figure out what's going on. Come find me when you can; I'm at the Durmand Priory camp in Starlit Weald.
You can find me at the Durmand Priory camp. |
- Meeting Hiberus at the Priory Expedition
- Commander, good. Here's the artifact in question, if you're ready to begin.
- Might as well get started.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: Ah, Commander. I've got a favor to ask of you.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: This seer artifact I found seems to pull magic out of its surroundings, making it corporeal.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: Problem is, I don't have the faintest idea how or why. It must have had some purpose though.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: Could you take it with you on your travels? Maybe the collected magic will give me some kind of clue.
- Maybe some other time.
- Come find me once you've taken the object to each of those locations, and I'll take a look at it again.
- What do I need to do once I get there?
- Just gather the magic you find. It may be unstable and fractured, but make sure to catch all of it.
- Got it.
- All right, I'll get on that.
- Upon unlocking Locations of Known Magic in Central Tyria
Hiberus Mythseeker The Artifact I heard you've been making progress bringing that thing around Castora. I've got an additional idea. Come back and see me when you get a chance. |
- Meeting Hiberus after unlocking Locations of Known Magic in Central Tyria
- Hiberus Mythseeker: Now this is more like it! I'll start studying samples and see if I can figure out the pattern.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: In the meantime, maybe you can take it to Tyria and see how it reacts to other kinds of magic?
- Hiberus Mythseeker: Who knows, maybe this is some kind of really powerful weapon and we're gradually recharging it?
- Hiberus Mythseeker: Of course...it could also just be a magic-disposal system. We'll hope for "weapon" over "trash can."
- Upon unlocking Magic Results
Hiberus Mythseeker The Artifact I heard something happened with the artifact! Come meet me back at the Durmand Priory camp so we can figure out what it was.
You can find me at the Durmand Priory camp. |
- Meeting Hiberus after unlocking Magic Results
- Oh, it's... Hm. That's concerning.
- What is it?
- Hiberus Mythseeker: It seems you've been carrying around a covered-up piece of shadowstone this whole time. Which makes sense.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: Well, kind of makes sense. It explains why the magic was reacting that way, at least.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: But the fact that the stone now seems to be alive? I'll admit, I'm at a loss on that one.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: It seems to have bonded with you, though. That beats the other option, where a piece of empowered shadowstone hates you.
- Hiberus Mythseeker: Anyway, take it with you. Please. I trust that thing around you, but certainly not around me.
- It's your problem now.
Notes[edit]
- This collection cannot be started until Visions of Eternity story Chapter 6 Ruins of the Old World has been completed.
- Getting to the blue/red orbs is easy if you have a mount. The warclaw will make it there in three jumps during a single blue cycle.
