Cikdew is an old witch located under the bridge in the very north of South Karana. She only appears during the Nights of the Dead period.

You say, 'Hail, Cikdew'

Cikdew says, 'Hello, my pretty! Have you come to [aid] this poor old woman? If not, then go away!'

You say, 'aid'

Cikdew says, 'Ah, good. You see, I am far too old and feeble to manage the difficult task at hand on my own. I need a strong young adventurer like you to help me. Surely this will be a [simple task] for one of your skills, no?'

You say, 'simple task'

Cikdew says, 'Well, you see, there are some things that can only be done during the Nights of the Dead. Some mystical items can only be gathered on these nights or they are not potent. Some magic will only work on these nights. I have need of some very special things that can only be gathered now so that I can make something of use with them. But this all must be done before the Nights of the Dead are over. I really can't explain what I seek until the time is proper, or that will break the magic. Will you [do this] for me?'

You say, 'do this'

You have been assigned the task 'The Witch's Wish'.

You have been assigned the task 'The Witch's Wishes'.

Cikdew says, 'Very good, deary! Now, take this with you and I will be able to guide you through it.'

The Witch Cikdew has asked for help with several tasks. All of these tasks build up some seriously bad luck. She has asked for your help so that she can siphon off the bad luck into a cursed item.

You receive Dreadful Witch's Cauldron, a 4 slot container.

1. Find a lost mirror near the entrance to the Erudin Palace 0/1 Erudin

Lost Mirror appears on the cursor while walking on the grass around /loc -700, -130, close to Demicla Tanner (Leather Armor vendor).

2. Deliver the lost mirror to Mugu outside of Oggok 0/1 The Feerrott

Mugu is a Smithing Supplies female ogre merchant in the ruins just southwest of the Oggok entrance. Give her the Lost Mirror.

Mugu looks at the mirror, 'Ouch. You can have this back, I have no need for it.'

You receive Pieces of a Shattered Mirror.

3. Find Rock Salt for the brew 0/1 ALL

Rock Salt is sold by Baking Supplies merchants, including Chef Denrun in the Plane of Knowledge.

4. Find a Candid Spider for the brew 0/1 ALL

Candied Spider is player made: in an Oven or Spit, combine 1 Frosting, 1 Spices and 1 Spider Legs (trivial 88). Note that this makes 8 of them, not just 1.

5. Find a broken horseshoe in the South Karana Centaur Village 0/1 The Southern Plains of Karana

Broken Horsehoe appears on the cursor while going around the north hut in the Centaur Village at /way 256, -2337 .

6. Brew the dreadful witch's potion 0/1 ALL

In the Dreadful Witch's Cauldron, combine 1 Rock Salt, 1 Candied Spider, 1 Broken Horseshoe and 1 Pieces of a Shattered Mirror to make 1 Dreadful Witch's Brew.

7. Travel to an infamous graveyard to perform the ceremony 0/1 Shadowrest

Say travel to Devin Traical in the Plane of Knowledge to enter Shadowrest.

The task updates when walking over the grave on the east side.


8. Pour the potion out onto the grave 0/1 Shadowrest

Right-click the brew over the grave.

9. Harvest the dreadful mushroom 0/1 Shadowrest

Dreadful Mushroom is a red ground spawn over the grave. Pick it.

10. Deliver the remaining dreadful brew to Cikdew 0/1 The Southern Plains of Karana
11. Deliver a dreadful mushroom, before the Nights of the Dead end 0/1 The Southern Plains of Karana

Get back to Cikdew and give her the Dreadful Witch's Brew and the Dreadful Mushroom.

Cikdew seemed pleased that you would take on a task to gather bad luck for her. You have her gratitude.
