Crestra says, 'The earring, it's looking good, but I don't want to miss any possible element that will give me the perfect earring. I have gathered lots of information about Howling Stones, the next area. Other Norrathians filled me in on the dungeon. I already know [what I need:What do you need?] if you are up to the task.'

You say, 'What do you need?'

You have learned the recipe Crestra'a Elaborate Earring!

You have been assigned the task 'Measure of the Dead'.


Crestra says, 'Get Devourer Tail, Golem Empowerment Fragment, Bone Dust Infused Goo, [Charasis Portal Energy], [Charasis Chaotic Energy], and Charasis Containment Energy. You will find these in Howling stones and Sathir's tomb. Once you have this, you can make an [elaborate earring:].'

You say, Wait. Charasis Portal Energy doesn't sound like something from an NPC.

Crestra says, 'Correct. Purified mana has more use than you Norrathians make of it. It will collect ambient energy as well. So bring a vial of purified mana with you and get near the portal at the lower level of Howling Stones. The mana will collect the energy of the portal.'

You say, Is Charasis Chaotic Energy the same as the portal energy?

Crestra says, 'Correct. Purified mana has more use than you Norrathians make of it. It will collect ambient energy as well. So bring a vial of purified mana with you and get near the portal at the lower level of Howling Stones. The mana will collect the energy of the portal.'

Crestra says, 'You should know what to do by now. Go get the parts you need to make the [elaborate earring].'

You say, 'What are the instructions for the elaborate earring?

Crestra says, 'Create the elaborate earring with [Devourer Cerebrospinal Powder], [Golem Empowerment Bead], [Crystalized Goo], Charasis Portal Energy, Charasis Chaotic Energy, and Charasis Containment Energy. This assembly will add much potential and sparkle!'

You say, 'Does a Devourer even have cerebrum for Cerebrospinal fluid to make into a Powder?'

Crestra says, 'Well, they have something resembling a brain. They definitely have a spine with that tail. But that's mincing words. Use a gutting knife to carefully remove the skin and spine, leaving the fluid to bake into a powder.

You say, 'Those golems are nasty. What do I make a Golem Empowerment Bead from their Golem Empowerment Fragment'

Crestra says, 'To make this useful is deceptively easy. Heat it in the forge and keep it at an orange glow for ten minutes, no more, no less.'

You say, ' Can I Crystalize something else? Goo is so messy.'

Crestra says, 'Yes. You need the bone dust from the dead in the tomb to give the proper texture to the crystal you'll get as a result of your work. Simply boil off the liquid until you have a solid in a brew barrel.'

Collect 1 Devourer Tail(s). - Howling Stones or Sathir's Tomb

Collect 1 Golem Empowerment Fragment. - Howling Stones or Sathir's Tomb

Collect 1 Bone Dust Infused Goo. - Howling Stones or Sathir's Tomb

Bring the purified mana to the central teleport. - Howling Stones

Crestra wants to make an earring for the alir betrothed. You will help by exploring the area of ali, and bring back useful information that al can use to find components.

Use purified mana to collect energy from Howling Stones or Sathir's Tomb.

In Howling Stones collect the portal energy from the central teleport, In Sathir's Tomb collect yellow and blue energy.

Put 3 Vial of Purified Mana in one of your bags. Zone into Howling Stones then jump down through one of the fake stairs (north, east or west) and go into the portal to get ported back to the entrance. 1 vial is consumed and you get 1 Charasis Portal Energy on your cursor.

Beware! After going through the portal you get an Energetic Glow debuff on you that prevents all forms of invisibility for 50 minutes. You can still cast invisibility spells or use invisibility potions but they have no effect while the debuff is still active. Zoning out removes the debuff.


Bring the purified mana to the yellow energy. - Sathir's Tomb

This updates in the center of the middle room. 1 vial is consumed and you get 1 Charasis Chaotic Energy on your cursor.

Bring the purified mana to the blue energy. - Sathir's Tomb

This updates in the center of the east room. 1 vial is consumed and you get 1 Charasis Containment Energy on your cursor.

Create 1 Crestra's Elaborate Earring Using tradeskills - (Recipe)

Deliver 1 Crestra's Elaborate Earing to Crestra

You say, 'Hail, Crestra'

Crestra says, 'Please give me the earring so I can examine it. I'll give it back, I promise.'

Your task 'Measure of the Dead' has been updated.

Crestra appreciates the assistance and would like you to gather supplies in Veeshan's Peak next.

You have been given: Crestra's Elaborate Earring

The Energetic Glow you get from passing through the portal does not affect SOS.

If you can have a mage summon you to the zone line just after you get each energy in sathirs, it gets alot easier. Then just zone out, zone back and get invis and itu and run to the other portal.

The vial of Mana has to be held on your cursor to get the update. I tried twice with it in my bag and it did not work.

This is no longer the case, I did all three vials with two characters today and I never had the purified mana on my cursor, it was always in my bag.

The comment should be, " This updates in the center of the East room. 1 vial is consumed and you get 1 Charasis Containment Energy on your cursor. "
