in GD theres a giant fort near the EW zone.. get a group of friends or just travel up there.. theres usually people there killing for ToV and dorf faction there.. its best to get allied before doing these quests.. on occasion being kindly and amiable doesnt work.. and ToV you definetly need allied just for gate.. and youll still be kos to parts of area.. good luck taygarr wiz of the 55th season the seventh hammer
I got the Enchanted gloves in Kael by the bank on the way to the arina with a group of 55 Monk "Baron", 56 enchanter, 60 Druid, 56 Cleric, 52 Cleric, 54 Wizard, 52 Wizard, 54 rogue, and a 55 rogue. We walked in and owned the place ) My Guild had the Crushed Topaz and Made me a very Happy 52 wizard.
Crushed Topaz is one of the harder gems to get. 1)Both Caster and Melee Compete for the Gem. 2)Rarity of Auction - If sold, it tend to be higher then other quest gems not counting the Bp or robe. 3)Rarity of Drop in addition to other quest gems. 4)It drop in the more challenging mobs. I see it drop in Siren Grotto, Velk Dogs, Dragon Necropolis and Western Waste. 5)PPl just store the gem in the inventory and never sell it, give away, trade for it or whatever.
