Step 1. Magister Kaira in Giran

Teleport to the Town of Giran and enter the Dark Elven Guild: Magister Kaira gives the quest only to Dark Elves with the 1st class, from level 37. Click "I shall discover the Forbidden Knowledge.", then "Ask about brother Alder." and agree. She hands you Kaira's Letter, plus 98 Dimensional Diamond on the first take.

Step 2. Brother Metheus

Brother Metheus stands by the Temple of Einhasad in Giran. Give him the letter — he hands you Metheus's Funeral Jar and asks you to find the remains of his sister Kasandra, executed during the uprising.

Step 3. Hangman Tree

The remains are in the Execution Grounds: from Dion run about 31,000 east (many servers also have a direct teleport there). Kill one level 35 Hangman Tree lv. 35 — Kasandra's Remains drop on the first kill, the rate doesn't matter.

Step 4. Metheus again

Bring the remains to Metheus. He gives you the Herbalism Textbook — it goes to Master Ixia in Dion.

Step 5. Master Ixia in Dion

Master Ixia stands in the Dark Elven Guild of the Town of Dion. Give her the textbook — she hands you Ixia's List: 10 each of five Belladonna ingredients. The ingredients drop only while you carry this list — killing mobs before talking to Ixia is pointless.

Step 6. Dead Seekers

Go back to the Execution Grounds: Dead Seeker Dung drops from the level 34 Dead Seeker lv. 34 with a 50% chance × the quest rate. You need 10.

Step 7. Tyrants in the Wasteland

From Gludio teleport to Windawood Manor and run about 13,000 south into the Wasteland. Tyrant's Blood drops from the level 35 Tyrant lv. 35 (50%) and the level 36 Tyrant Kingpin lv. 36 (60%). You need 10.

Step 8. Stakatos and spiders by the Cruma Tower

From Dion teleport to the Cruma Tower; don't go inside. In the marshes north-northeast of the entrance live the level 33 Marsh Stakato Soldier lv. 33 and the level 35 Marsh Stakato Drone lv. 35: Nightshade Root drops from any stakato — 50% from soldiers, 60% from drones. You need 10.

In the same area live the level 34 Marsh Spiders lv. 34: Marsh Spider Fluids, 50%. Also 10.

Step 9. Medusas in the Gorgon Flower Garden

The Gorgon Flower Garden lies about 38,000 east-northeast of Giran; if your gatekeeper has a Gorgon Flower Garden teleport, use it. Medusa's Ichor drops from the level 34 Medusa lv. 34, 50%. You need 10.

Step 10. Belladonna from Ixia

With 10 of each of the five ingredients go back to Ixia in Dion — she makes the Belladonna for Metheus.

Step 11. Alder's skull

Take the Belladonna to Metheus in Giran. He gives you Alder's Skull — the remains of Brother Alder, who hid a copy of Kaysha's Revelation.

Step 12. Alder's spirit

Give the skull to Kaira: she performs the ritual and Alder's Spirit appears next to you. The spirit stays until you talk to it. Do so — it gives you a second Alder's Skull and tells you the copy of the revelation is kept in the Gludin warehouse, while the receipt is held by his descendant in Giran.

Step 13. Magister Roa

Magister Roa stands in the Mages' Guild of Giran. Click "I was sent here by your ancestor, brother Alder.", and in the next window go straight for "Even though you cover it with your hands, the moon still shines.". She takes the skull and hands you Alder's Receipt.

Step 14. The Gludin warehouse

Teleport to Gludin Village: Warehouse Keeper Norman stands in the warehouse. For the receipt he gives you the Revelations Manuscript — the copy of Kaysha's Revelation.

Step 15. Kaira's recommendation

Bring the manuscript to Kaira and click "Yes, that is my wish.". From level 38 she gives you Kaira's Recommendation. If you are still 37, you get Kaira's Instructions — come back at 38.

Step 16. Tetrarch Thifiell

Teleport to the Dark Elven Village: Tetrarch Thifiell stands in the temple. For the recommendation he gives you the Palus Charm and Thifiell's Letter to the witch Arkenia.

Step 17. The witch Arkenia

From the Dark Elven Village teleport to the Spider Nest and run about 12,600 east to the Altar of Rites. Witch Arkenia stands by the altar: click "Ask about the ink" — she takes the letter and gives you Arkenia's Note. The ink needs Red Fairy Dust from a Bloody Pixy and sap from a Blight Treant.

Step 18. The pixy and the treant

Pixies and treants wander all around the altar. The nearest Bloody Pixy is about 2,500 east of Arkenia: click "Ask about the Red Fairy Dust." — you get a Pixy Garnet. The pixy gives the dust for 10 skulls each from four mobs (step 19).

The nearest Blight Treant is about 6,700 northwest of Arkenia. Click "I will destroy the Black Willow Lurker!" — you get a Blight Treant Seed: the treant trades its sap for a Black Willow Lurker leaf (step 20).

Step 19. Skulls for the pixy

The skulls drop only while you carry the Pixy Garnet, with a 100% chance (× the quest rate); you need 10 of each. The Leto Overlord Skull comes from the level 40 Leto Lizardman Overlord lv. 40: from Oren teleport to the Plains of Lizardmen and run about 9,200 north-northwest.

The Grandis's Skull comes from the level 40 Grandis lv. 40: it lives in the Death Pass — from the same Plains of Lizardmen teleport run about 16,000 south.

The Breka Overlord Skull comes from the level 35 Breka Orc Overlord lv. 35: from Giran teleport to Breka's Stronghold and run about 8,000 northeast.

The Karul Bugbear Skull comes from the level 40 Karul Bugbear lv. 40: from Hunters Village run about 6,000 south-southeast.

Step 20. Black Willow Lurker

From the Dark Elven Village teleport to Swampland. The Black Willow Lurker lv. 39 is a level 39 quest monster; several of them roam the swamp, the nearest about 4,000 east of the teleport. The Black Willow Leaf drops on the first kill, only while you carry the Blight Treant Seed.

Step 21. Pixy dust and treant sap

Go back to the Bloody Pixy with the 40 skulls — she takes them with the garnet and gives you the Red Fairy Dust.

For the leaf and the seed the Blight Treant gives you the Blight Treant Sap.

Step 22. Arkenia's letter

With the dust and the sap go back to Arkenia and click "Begin the Initiation Ceremony" — she gives you Arkenia's Letter for the tetrarch.

Step 23. Mark of Fate

Take the letter to Thifiell in the temple of the Dark Elven Village — he takes the Palus Charm and gives you the Mark of Fate, 68,183 XP and 1,750 SP. The other Bladedancer marks are Trial of the Challenger and Test of the Duelist; the full path is in the Bladedancer 2nd class quest guide, the mark is also needed for the Shillien Elder 2nd class and the Spellhowler 2nd class, and other classes start from the 2nd class quest hub.

How many mobs to kill at your rate

The Belladonna ingredients drop with a 30–60% chance and the quest rate multiplies the chance — the table shows the average number of kills. Skulls drop with a 100% chance, and the rate multiplies the amount per kill. On some servers quest items drop one at a time at any rate — then use the x1 column.

Kasandra's Remains and the Black Willow Leaf drop as a single item on the first kill at any rate.
