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(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

      

      Evocation Stone

      at the mage trainers within Gorowyn in Timorous Deep (spawns randomly in area)
      • Magus Primary Myli'nin is near the location you seek, or ask a guard for the wizard trainer (there are warlock, coercer, etc trainers on a few other levels, they're not all together).
      • Potential locations: ( 2553, 120, 1279 ) Copy/waypoint 2552.63, 119.86, 1278.64 and ( 2527, 120, 1283 ) Copy/waypoint 2526.59, 119.86, 1283.28
   2. Speak to the three apprentices nearby, (Apprentice Tholak, Apprentice Chalak, and Apprentice Tawen).
   3. Speak to Vulkun Niab'li (the Wizard Trainer) and receive Scratched Crow Coin.
2. This coin is my clue.
   1. Enter Crow's Resting Place, Thieves Guild in the The Down Below. If you get two identical options, use the second one. The other will not update - none of the below mentioned will have dialog about the thief.
      • Hail Gyle
      • 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 is a large white cube with runes on all sides.

   

   Blackscale rune cube

   • In the Halls of Fate (not the Fabled version) at ( 101, -28, 0 ) Copy/waypoint 100.61, -27.54, 0.07 or ( 138, -28, -1 ) Copy/waypoint 138.33, -27.54, -0.67 or ( 123, -28, 21 ) Copy/waypoint 123.34, -27.54, 21.01 or ( 143, -27, 16 ) Copy/waypoint 142.67, -27.07, 16.14
   • In Fabled Deathtoll (you may need a group), at ( -589, 119, -245 ) Copy/waypoint -589, 119, -245 near Fitzpitzle.
4. Return to Tumpy in Crow's Resting Place, Thieves Guild
   • Note: If there is more than one option, choose the bottom one.
5. Seek the ratonga thief known as Vasty One Eye.
   • Evil aligned: Speak with Beckah Whistlethorn in Smuggler's Grotto near the Fence (Black Market Broker) in Qeynos Province District
     • The way in is in the water at ( 901, -31, 44 ) Copy/waypoint 900.83, -31.34, 43.60

     • Note: You must speak with both Rebeckah and Gimblefuzzle for the quest to update!
6. Seek the ratonga thief known as Vasty One Eye, far underground

      Vasith One Eye is sometimes called "Vasty One Eye" especially by other thieves.

   2. Get ready to camp these bosses for hours to obtain the Sigil of Krakatus from either:
      • Kralet Penumbra: Temple of the Ill-Seen (Heroic) in a chest from Xoth, the Ever Rending

      • Kralet Penumbra (Contested) from a body drop of Mo'Ithraf at ( 75, -3, 232 ) Copy/waypoint 74.77, -3.07, 232
        • Loot from his body Aberrant Cipher (Not guaranteed drop, 1 per kill max, not group update.).
        • In same room there is a clicky on top of the brazier after you loot the cipher. Clicking this will give you the Sigil, not the boss.
7. Return to Vasty One Eye, and she will seem very forgetful. You need find a healer to help Vasith.(note: at this point you will need to have the cobalt scar timeline prereq. done or Osh will not update)
