Starting the Quest

a wandering chest near Kurns Tower

1. Click on a wandering chest in Fens of Nathsar in the Field of Bone by Kurns Tower. It roams behind the west side of Kurn's tower, past the PQ, around the head of the dragon bones, up the east side, and possibly all the way north to near the coastline (near the Rime area), then followed the coast west until he was just north of Kurn's Tower. Then it turned and started going east again.
   • Note: it moves slow, not trackable .
   • Note: You cannot see it if you do not have the pre-requisites done.
   • Note: Recommend making a macro with the command line "/target a wandering".
   • Example: I found the chest at ( -1505, -368, -1425 ) Copy/waypoint -1505.16, -368.46, -1424.90, shortly before it turned northward.
2. It tells you to get three items:
   • Note: (The lock on this magical chest says, "Those who employ the sorcerer's stone, the enchanter's scroll, and the summoner's blade know the power they hold. Together, they are the key to unimaginable power.")
   • Enchanter's Scroll - Cobalt Scar at ( 4420, -820, 358 ) Copy/waypoint 4420.46, -819.82, 357.75 - in the tent on a wooden box
   • Summoner's Blade - Loping Plains at ( -376, -7, -243 ) Copy/waypoint -376.48, -6.77, -242.84 on the box under tent. (Fast travel to the Wizard Spire in the north).
   • Sorcerer's Stone - the Stonebrunt Highlands at ( -1075, 745, -477 ) Copy/waypoint -1075, 745, -477 inside the Eye of El'Arad on a table in the back. (teleport to the north druid ring)
3. Return to Fens to a location near ( -61, -63, -304 ) Copy/waypoint -60.73, -63.40, -304.49 which is closest to Omen's Call.
4. Combine the 3 pieces to the Magician's Summoned Key - When you do this, a different chest nearby should spawn and become visible to you. it wanders from Omen's Call to the tower at ( -555, -36, -338 ) Copy/waypoint -555.28, -36.32, -337.68, where it is killed by guards and respawns in 10 minutes again at ( -61, -63, -304 ) Copy/waypoint -60.73, -63.40, -304.49.
5. By clicking this second chest, you get a Crumbled Evocation Stone.
6. Inspect it to receive the quest "Curse of the Magic Thief"

Steps

1. I should search and see if I can find information on this crumbled stone.
   1. Click on an evocation stone

   2. Speak to the three apprentices nearby, (Apprentice Tholak, Apprentice Chalak, and Apprentice Tawen).

2. This coin is my clue.

      • Hail Colonel "Mutt" Fiddletwang
      • Hail Rollus the Sly
      • After some dialogue, Tumpy will trade a Blackscale rune cube for the information you need.
3. I need to seek a Blackscale rune cube - The cube can be found in the either of the following two zones. It's a large white cube with runes on all sides.
