This quest and the series leading up to it are colloquially referred to as "Tradeskill or Crafting Epic 2.0". It has several prerequisites including the first Epic (listed below) and this final quest takes much longer to complete than the average quest series.
You will need 500 gathering to gather the Arcanna'se precious metal.
Equipment and tools count towards the 500, so you can do it with 475 Gathering skill +25 from the pudding earring.
You can just keep clicking the node over and over for the skill-ups if needed.
After you complete this quest you will get mail telling you to see Scribbleclaw in the Twark encampment to upgrade your tradeskill cloak to the prestige version.
Steps[]
Speak with Shanks in Twark at ( 270, -173, -746 ) Copy/waypoint 270, -173, -746
Return to Brytthel in Nye'Caelona at ( -210, 91, -209 ) Copy/waypoint -210, 91, -209
The even pages are trackable ground spawn scattered around and inside the building. You need the Earring of the Solstice to see them (you dont need to wear it, only to have its buff active, like for every other collection it allows to see).
The odd-numbered pages require clicking bookcases throughout the building.
Complete the Collection and turn it in to a Collector. You will receive the completed book, and a recipe appropriate to your class:
The recipes are inventory items and must be scribed.
The Legend of Dalnir-bookcase
The Legend of Dalnir-page
Note: If you delete the quest after completing the collection, you won't be able to complete the collection again. You will need to speak with Researcher Thelzik Ku'Rok in Fens of Nathsar at ( 1164, 203, 1536 ) Copy/waypoint 1164, 203, 1536 at Bathezid's Watch, once more to receive your class recipe for the next step.
I must work with other artisans to gather the items I'll need to enter Dalnir's crypt.
You will be able to make one (or two, if an outfitter) of these items yourself; the others must be obtained from other crafters. All of these items are freely tradable, so can be purchased via the broker if necessary.
Passing the items from alts via the shared bank does not seem to work.
However, having your alts mail you the items does work.
Alternately, you may take the items out of the shared bank from an alt, put it on the broker and take it off the broker without listing it, for the update.
Purchasing all 4 items from the broker, and having them in your inventory, will count and bypass this step
Make sure the quest updates to the "Enter Crypt of Dalnir" step before proceeding and you have at least one each of the listed items in your inventory.
Note: While Incense Dispenser says its only 1 charge you can use it an unlimited number of times in the instance. So you need only one Incense Dispenser for all ghosts.
The alcoves in the first long hallway have breakable walls if you climb into them.
Find and speak to Haggle Baron Dalnir. To do so, do all of the following first:
Turn the statue on the right ( -5, 29, -47 ) Copy/waypoint -5, 29, -47
Use the Illusion: Mummified Ganak Noble to get past the iksar. Note: doing this before turning the statue might bug the zone. If so, cancel the illusion and start over, however please note that the illusion is a one-time use item, and you will need to acquire another one if you cancel the illusion before completing the zone.
Drag the incense dispenser to a hotbar. Use the Incense to kill the ghosts. It only works within 12m of mob, but note that the aggro range is about the same. If you target the mob and stand at 13m from it and cast the incense at them, it will work. Or you can lay down a trail of 1-3 incensers and run up to them then quickly away to drag them over the incense.
2/28/2024 if you're 125 you can ignore using the censor as all mobs are greyed out and non aggro
When you reach the first hallway, destroy the wall inside the alcoves at ( -136, 31, 29 ) Copy/waypoint -136, 31, 29 (see example image), enter the hidden room, and destroy the obulus vase to receive a crypt key. Note that the vase can be in either alcove.
Go through the left door and down to The Reservoir of Slime. Fish in the "accumulation of goo" till you find overseer's key. Accumulation of goo are trackable with Track Harvestables.
You must get the on-screen update that there are "clumps of unidentifiable detritus floating around in the slime" else you will not get the key (ie, fishing before this is pointless).
You have to stand on the very edge to "see" the goo nodes. It is easy to fall in, and if you do you will immediately die.
accumulation of goo (Note: surface can no longer be seen through)
If running reduced graphics, the "accumulation of goo" *WILL* be invisible, look for the Hand icon to find and then Fish for key. Turning up Options.Display.Model Detail.Level of Detail Bias will make them easier to see as well.
Go to the door at ( -198, 27, -328 ) Copy/waypoint -198, 27, -328
Use caution when fishing from the Accumulation of Goo. Falling in will kill you!
Place the Overseer's Shield on the shield stand ( -199, 29, -399 ) Copy/waypoint -199, 29, -399 and the Overseer's Sword on the sword stand ( -258, 29, -399 ) Copy/waypoint -258, 29, -399.

Go through the door ( -229, 26, -421 ) and speak with Haggle Baron Dalnir. If you speak to him a second time (after crafting confirmed), he will kill you. (will turn into a 120 4x raid mob if you talk to him with no illusion on)
