Ahoy fellow pirates!
I recommend all to participate in the Rangers of the Abyss Quest that is currently active! Not only do you have the chance to get a nice reward, it is also fun and challenging.
The background of this event is described here.
The runes to the two quest givers are locked down at the front of the Jolly Roger Inn. Prerequisite: You need to have completed the Quest to enter the Stygian Abyss.
Part 1 sends you on an adventure where you have to acquire four items and get the lamp of spirituality as a reward.
The hardest part is to get the Dark Wisp Orb. To achieve that, you have to go into the Wisp Dungeon in Ilshenar. In Level 2, a Dark Wisp Chest is spawning in a random room (there are about 6 places in that level where it can spawn), guarded by Dark Wisps Guardians. If you kill the two guardians, the color of the chest will eventually change and you will get access. When you open it, the orb will appear in your backpack. If other adventurers are there, it is sufficient to do enough damage to the Guardians. Even if you don't get to open the chest, the orb will be in your backpack nevertheless. It is recommended to bring an undead slayer. Wisps are also vulnerable to the Pixie Swatter, a melee weapon with Use Best Weapon Skill.
The Rare Serpent Egg can be acquired by opening the Snake Nests in the Serpent Lair in the Stygian Abyss Dungeon. It can take lots of tries before you finally dig out an egg. A snake slayer might be helpful, and a snake charmer flute will make things a lot easier.
In Part 2 (now inactive) you have to find the housing spots in the Stygian Abyss Dungeon by using the lantern, which you got as a reward from Part 1. Each day, a new housing spot will be available. For each discovered spot, you will get a reward from the quest giver. Attention: The wooden chest where the rewards can be gotten is hidden beneath a display case behind the quest giver. It is quite hard to find (pressing Ctrl-Shift helps). The most valuable rewards (and the most rare ones) I have heard of are: A relic fragment, a special talisman, a special cloak. The other items you get (weapons, armor pieces, jewelry) are mostly junk.
Part 3: Go to Geoffrey again and he will send you to the house plot in the Abyss. Use the colored virtue ink on your lantern when standing on the plot. You then have a tiny chance to win the house plot. If you return to Geoffrey, you have a chance to receive above mentioned rewards, not matter if you won or not. This can be done with every character once a day until the house is won.
Have fun!
