Item:Dragontouched Armor

Dragontouched Armor, originally introduced in Module 8 is a new form of Crafting based on Runes found in the Reaver's Refuge quests and adventure areas.

Flagging for Stealer of Souls

 * Talk to NPC Aurben, in the Marketplace next to Cydonie, get the quest Refuge in the Storm. You have to be at least level 13 to do this.
 * Then go to NPC Captain Agamon at the top of the Spire, he gets you to Siber Atroll. Jump down from the Airship, swim down into the water and enter the crevice to enter the Reaver's Refuge town area.
 * Find Reaver in his refuge and complete the Refuge in the Storm quest. He tells you that Sor'jek (formerly known as Tempest's Spine boss and Reaver's lieutenant) became a lich and must be defeated. Reaver gives you a fly buff to let you check around, find Ternathear's Inner Lair in the east upper area of the town.


 * Thear gives you a quest, The Essence of a Dragon, and asks you to collect gems found in the Exploration Zones. The gems drop out of rare encounter treasure chests in these zones. Once you get all six gems and turn them in, you never need to repeat this process.
