This template is used for quest walk-through pages. Leave blank any items that do not apply.
This page template is used for quest and kill task guides. Remove sections that don't apply.
* '''General Section''' - Optional section to list prerequisite quests and lockpicking requirements.  List the quests in the order they must be completed. If additional detail about the quest type would be helpful it can also go here, such as lever pulling requirements, creature difficulty, etc.
* In the Quest Overview list prerequisite quests and lockpicking requirements.  List the quests in the order they must be completed.
* '''Walk-through Section''' - Succinctly list the steps required to complete the quest.
* See [[Quest Type]] for a list of the different types of quests.
* '''Items Section''' - List the items related to the quest - rumors, texts, keys, trophies, and rewards.
* If a quest has been updated, include details on how in the Notes section.
* '''Maps Section''' - List of links to maps if external links. Thumbnail maps if hosted on Wiki.
* Include the absolute max experience available in the summary table, if the reward is level based or there are multiple parts, include the details in an Experience Reward table. If a reward isn't level based (a percentage), set '''Percent of Level''' and or '''Repeat Percent of Level''' to either '''N/A''' or to '''Fixed'''.
* '''Detailed Walk Through Section''' - Optional section where you can explain in fine detail how to run the quest. Whenever there is a dungeon involved, link it to that dungeon's page on this site, and provide a link to ACmaps.
* Format dialog using [[Page Templates#Text Colors|Text Colors]]. Include town crier and ulgrim sayings that refer to the quest.
* '''Images''' - Optional section to display images from the quest.
* If there is more than one dungeon associated with the quest add a {{tl|Dungeon Maps}} for each dungeon inside the {{tl|Dungeon Table}}.
* '''Lore & Dialog''' - A summary of the story behind the quest, if any. Include Town Crier and Ulgrim sayings. Place NPC dialog here, in the order it appears in, separated by line breaks.
** If a map is hosted on the wiki, set '''<code>Wiki Map File = Name.gif</code>'''.
* Items in the '''Intro''' (patch, quests, and updated), '''Item Rewards''', and '''Start Location''' should be enclosed in link brackets <nowiki>( [[ ]] )</nowiki>.
** If a map is hosted on ACmaps.com use the 4 digit ID that is at the end of the map link, eg '''<code>ACmaps.com ID = 05CE</code>''' . If there are maps at both the wiki and acmaps, list both.
* The live image for the quest works best if it is no taller than 300 pixels, widths can vary without impacting the page's appearance.
** You can also give a web address for a map located somewhere else, e.g. '''<code>Other Map = <nowiki>http://ac.warcry.com/media/images/maps/Northern%20Catacombs.jpg</nowiki></code>''' .
* The page will automatically be categorized as a '''Quest''', and if any titles are listed as a '''Title Reward'''.
* The page will automatically be categorized as a [[:Category:Quest|Quest]], if it is also a [[:Category:Killtask|Killtask]], set '''Kill Task = True'''.
* The default image size for the Images section is 200x200px however feel free to use larger images that can be clicked through to the full size image.
* If there the quest has other names it is commonly called, create redirect pages for each page that point to the main quest page. Also categorize these redirects as a [[:Category:Quest]] so they will show up in searches.
* For quests that are part of the [[Facility Hub Quests]] you can add a special box that details the bonus task and reward. Use the {{tl|Hub Quest}} subtemplate to fill out the field. See [[Ice Tachi Quest]] for an example.
* Optional Sections:
** Detailed Walk Through - Provide more detail than would be included in the walkthrough section for complex quests or for quests with a strong story component. Whenever there is a dungeon involved, link it to that dungeon's page on this site and provide a link to a map.
** Appendix - Some quests such as the [[Harbinger Quest]] require a substantial amount of supplemental information.

== General ==
You must have a [[Repaired Shadow Stone]] from the [[Repaired Shadow Stone (Quest)]] in order to start this quest. At the end you will have a stone that you can insert into any [[Isparian Weapon]] which is a separate quest. Unlike other stones, the change is permanent and the stone cannot be removed.

# From the drop continue east until you come to stairs leading down into a large room. Do not jump down any of the pits. From there go east and down, once down go west until you come to a room with the [[Inner Chamber Guardian]] who you can either kill now, or on your return trip, he drops the [[Inner Chamber Key]]. Do not use key yet. Pick up the [[Empyrean Notebook]] off the ground (everyone in the party needs one) then portal out.

Note: To get the title "Honorary Shadow Hunter" you have to give a completed stone to [[Sarkin Killcrane]], which means if you want both the title and the stone you will need to repeat the quest.

This page template is used for quest and kill task guides. Remove sections that don't apply.

  • In the Quest Overview list prerequisite quests and lockpicking requirements. List the quests in the order they must be completed.
  • See Quest Type for a list of the different types of quests.
  • If a quest has been updated, include details on how in the Notes section.
  • Include the absolute max experience available in the summary table, if the reward is level based or there are multiple parts, include the details in an Experience Reward table. If a reward isn't level based (a percentage), set Percent of Level and or Repeat Percent of Level to either N/A or to Fixed.
  • Format dialog using Text Colors. Include town crier and ulgrim sayings that refer to the quest.
  • If there is more than one dungeon associated with the quest add a {{Dungeon Maps}} for each dungeon inside the {{Dungeon Table}}.
    • If a map is hosted on the wiki, set Wiki Map File = Name.gif.
    • If a map is hosted on ACmaps.com use the 4 digit ID that is at the end of the map link, eg ACmaps.com ID = 05CE . If there are maps at both the wiki and acmaps, list both.
    • You can also give a web address for a map located somewhere else, e.g. Other Map = http://ac.warcry.com/media/images/maps/Northern%20Catacombs.jpg .
  • The page will automatically be categorized as a Quest, if it is also a Killtask, set Kill Task = True.
  • If there the quest has other names it is commonly called, create redirect pages for each page that point to the main quest page. Also categorize these redirects as a Category:Quest so they will show up in searches.
  • For quests that are part of the Facility Hub Quests you can add a special box that details the bonus task and reward. Use the {{Hub Quest}} subtemplate to fill out the field. See Ice Tachi Quest for an example.
  • Optional Sections:
    • Detailed Walk Through - Provide more detail than would be included in the walkthrough section for complex quests or for quests with a strong story component. Whenever there is a dungeon involved, link it to that dungeon's page on this site and provide a link to a map.
