Part 1 — Level 1

  1. You start with a Torn Note directing you to find Jaffar Jhaym in the Spellbinders Spire, in Night Harbor's Sageside district, reachable via the translocation devices below the wizards' tower.
  2. Give the Torn Note to Jaffar Jhaym. He welcomes you but explains your actual training falls to Njau Hansou, found in the training yard below, and hands the note back to pass along.
  3. Give the Torn Note to Njau Hansou. He wants to test your weapon-infusion proficiency alongside the Spire's investigation into a regional corruption, handing you Njau's Bone Bag and asking you to gather remains from undead you defeat in the desert.
  4. Kill skeletons outside Night Harbor's gates (or in the Concourse of Souls) for Scorched Skeletal Remains. You can hold off on combining if you're not ready to advance — the bag makes a handy 6-slot container in the meantime.
  5. Combine 6 Scorched Skeletal Remains inside Njau's Bone Bag to create the Bag of Scorched Bones.
  6. Hand the Bag of Scorched Bones to Njau Hansou. He asks you to deliver it to Buckmarr Gorstagg in the Concourse of Souls, the necropolis west of the city marked by its green glow.
  7. Give the Bag of Scorched Bones to Buckmarr Gorstagg. He hands over Buckmarr's Research to carry back to Njau.
  8. Return Buckmarr's Research to Njau Hansou. He lays out your next assignment: support Petra's Inquisitors, investigating a smuggler camp on the western shore of Shaded Dunes, while quietly watching the inquisitors themselves for anything suspicious, checking out a nearby ashira camp, and separately dealing with cultists infiltrating Night Harbor (its own quest — see Cultists in Night Harbor).

Part 2 — Level 5

  1. In Shaded Dunes, kill ashira raiders at the middle oasis camp until you loot all six missing logbook pages. They share a spawn with an ashira warrior and ashira shaman, so expect to clear those too, and watch out for the higher-level ashira spearfisher and the invisible ashira ambusher nearby.
  2. Kill Toma the Two-Faced at the smugglers' camp in the far southwest of Shaded Dunes, across the river, for a Smuggler's Damaged Logbook. The smugglers despawn and respawn as wererats at night.
  3. Combine the six logbook pages inside the Smuggler's Damaged Logbook (a 6-slot container) to create the Smuggler's Logbook.
  4. Return the Smuggler's Logbook to Njau Hansou. He rewards you with a Wand of Spectral Sharding and, once you ask him about it, explains your final task.
  5. Head to the Tomb of the Last Wyrmsbane (the excavation site west of the city gates) and use the Wand of Spectral Sharding on four specific ghosts — High Marshal Fionna, Lieutenant Gregan Snyde, Jakob Geffrey, and Timmon Bell — to collect a Crystallized Shard from each.
  6. Return all four Crystallized Shards along with the Wand of Spectral Sharding to Njau Hansou, who rewards you with the Spellbinders Blade Talisman.
