Sunstone Wristband Quest
Buy a dwarven ale before starting — you will need it for Step 9. Available at the General Store (Silvermere) or Arlysia Tavern.
Bring a waterskin — the Scorching Desert drains health without one. Available at the same shops.
This is a long quest spanning multiple areas. You will need to visit the Scorching Desert, Silvermere, the Golden Spire, and the Great Pyramid. The final fights (Pharaoh Rastep and Dao Lord) are serious — come prepared.
The pyramid is a large maze with multiple levels. Each level ends at a stone sphinx whose riddle you must answer to proceed up. A map is highly recommended.
Level 1: Navigate the maze corridors, pushing blocks at dead ends to open hidden passages. You have 5 minutes to reach the sphinx before you fall into the firepits and must start over. The timer starts when you go up into the pyramid — you can reset it by going back down and up again. At the sphinx, "ask sphinx fire", then go up. The timer ends once you reach level 2.
Level 2: Same maze mechanic, no timer. "ask sphinx sun", then go up.
Level 3 (Doors level): Some doors open by themselves, some you can bash, and some do not open. Follow these directions:
e, e, n(wait), w, w, n, n, e, e, e, e(wait), e, e, s(wait), w, s, s, w, w (get golden lion key quickly), e, s(wait), w (golden lion key), w, s, e, "ask sphinx stars", u
Level 4 (Riddle level): Follow in the path of the answer to the riddle to spell out "fourteen":
w, w, n, n, n, n, e, e, s, w, s, s, e, s, e, e, n, n, n, w, s, u
Level 5: At the top, "ask sphinx e" to open the hidden passage to the tomb.
| Item | Source |
|---|---|
| saracen head | saracen raider (Hideout, 25% drop) |
| heavy box | Given by Master Trader Tolgard |
| dwarven ale | General Store or Arlysia Tavern |
| golden lion key | floating key in Great Pyramid (100% drop, decays) |
| sunstone wristband | Quest reward from Orfeo Talespinner |
Pharaoh Rastep (~8.6M combat XP) and the Dao Lord (~11.2M combat XP) are serious fights. The Dao Lord uses earthfist magic attacks. Come well-equipped and consider bringing a group.
The Great Pyramid's archway passages check your quest progress (ability 134 step 9). If you have the correct quest state, you pass safely. Otherwise, you take damage from a fire trap.
The golden lion key decays quickly — grab it from the floating key and use it on the locked door immediately.
There is also an optional side quest available after step 9: you can mine red iron ore at Red Iron Mine, Black Pit (requires a pickaxe) and have Master Smith Martok at Forge of Khazarad forge a class-specific red iron weapon for 100,000 gold. This is not required for quest completion.
Blood Keep Class Quest Shops
Deep in the Blood Keep lies a quest hall with class-gated corridors. Each class has a unique path leading to a dungeon containing one or more shops with powerful level 80 equipment. Some classes (Paladin, Ninja, Maestro, Mystic, Wardancer) have 3 separate shops spread throughout their dungeon, each selling a single item.
The quest hall monsters are high level — come prepared. Bring money — these are shops, not loot drops. Bard and Skald share a path with no class gate. Thief and Rogue share the same dungeon and shop.

All items in these shops require level 80 to use. Items are class-restricted — you can only equip gear designated for your class.
Thief and Rogue share the same dungeon entrance and shop. Both gates lead to the same destination.
Bard and Skald share an unrestricted NE path from the lower hub. Their shop contains items for both classes, but each item is class-restricted.
Shaman accesses their corridor via the Down exit at the end of the East corridor (1/6301). The class gate is at the first room of the dungeon (2/9145) rather than in the quest hall.
Classes with 3 separate shops (Paladin, Ninja, Maestro, Mystic, Wardancer) have their items spread across different rooms within the dungeon — you'll need to explore to find all three shops.
The quest halls contain high-level monsters. Come prepared for combat while navigating the dungeons.
