The Essence of Eranikus
This quest chain starts from the Essence of Eranikus you get for
killing Shade of Eranikus. Everyone in the group gets one, so no need to
compete for it! The first quest can be immediately completed at the brazier in
the same room you just fought Shade of Eranikus in, granting you the
Chained Essence of Eranikus trinket.
- [48] The Essence of Eranikus
- [48] The Essence of Eranikus
- [48] In Eranikus' Own Words
Completing this quest chain is a trade-off as you will lose the
Chained Essence of Eranikus trinket but gain a decent chunk of
experience. It is recommended to keep the trinket if you have nothing else to
replace it with as the damage it provides will help more overall than the slight
experience bump.
During the Season of Discovery you will receive the following updated quest
reward: Chained Essence of Eranikus.
