Everveil Quest Guide: Crescent Reach 1-20 Leveling

This everveil quest guide focuses on the progression through Crescent Reach, primarily following the Hero’s Journey questline. By completing these tasks, players can efficiently level from 1 to 20 while earning essential gear, potions, and achievements. The guide is designed for new characters, specifically non-Drakkin, though Drakkin characters can also follow this path while adding their specific breath weapon quests.

Getting Started: Levels 1–5

Upon entering the Dragon’s Grove, you will find a Tome of the Hero’s Journey on your cursor. If this item is destroyed, you can use a special AA (Alternate Advancement) to summon it again. Your journey begins with several introductory tasks in the city.

Initial NPCs and Quests

1. Emissary Tinnvin: Located in the Dragon’s Grove, Tinnvin provides the Serpent Seeker’s Charm of Lore quest.
2. Guildmasters: Follow the path to the guildmasters and hand in your guild note to receive a newbie tunic.
3. Initiate Dakkan: Found near the exit to The Hollow, Dakkan offers three initial quests.
4. Innkeeper Falthus: Located in the inn; he will send you to Council Aide Mystrana.

Navigating the City

To find specific NPCs like Mystrana, use the "Find" window (Ctrl+F). Mystrana is located upstairs, accessible via a lift. You must click the button next to the lift to call it and click again once inside to move between levels.

During this stage, you will also interact with Librarian Hemfar. You must retrieve a book from a table in the library and hand it to him. Completing these early errands, including finding a book in the "rats and bats" room on the upper floor, will reward you with a cloak and enough experience to reach level 2.

The Council of Six Achievement

To progress the Hero’s Journey, you must complete the "Prove Your Worth" quest by speaking to all council members. This involves a series of tasks across various city locations:

• Combat Training: Kill a training dummy for Quartermaster Thatun.
• Item Collection: Pick up a drakkin scale in the inn (top floor, back right room) and get a book from Assistant Geejulin in the library.
• Exploration: Find rune stones in the southwest and northeast of the Dragon’s Grove, and collect a water sample.
• The Hollows: Fill a jar at the waterfall, kill undead fishermen for essence, and click the bush in the sporali cave for a poisonous nettle.
• Riddle Answers: When speaking to Myjinn, the correct answers are Nokk, Plane of Earth, and human.

Completing the Council of Six tasks should bring you to approximately level 4 and grant the Council of Six achievement.

Important Errands (Levels 6–10)

Once you reach level 5, a new set of quests becomes available from Jinkin (upstairs) and Baker Shivra.

• Cap of Color: Target sporelings in the first cave across the bridge in the Hollows.
• Here Kitty, Kitty!: Hunt pumas in the second cave.
• City Pests: Kill rats and bats (levels 5–8) on the top floor of the city.

Rewards: These quests provide a bracer, various potions, and stat-boosting food/drink. The achievement reward for this stage includes a range item and a 14% haste belt for melee classes.

Making a Name for Yourself (Levels 11–15)

These quests are provided by Council Aide Shay, Skinner Bezuth, and Vunder the Dark.

• Web of Fears: Hunt spiderlings and the Canyon Queen.
• No Skin Off Your Back: Kill alligators in the Hollow pond and bears in the semi-hidden bear cave (located behind bushes near the mill wheel).
• The Apothecary: Located outside the alchemy vendor room. Be cautious of the pathing warder, as he is hostile. Use snare spells if available, as the apothecary will attempt to flee when low on health.

Rewards: Completion grants a set of jewelry (2 rings, 2 earrings) and a choice of 1HB or 2HB weapons depending on your class.

Becoming a Hero (Levels 15–20)

The final stage in Crescent Reach involves Farmer Lize, Farmer Joen, and Akins.

• Food for Thought: Visit the farm north of the gnolls in the Hollow. Open chests for trinkets and kill skeletons.
• Reclaim the Farm: After the initial farm quests, click the bag of seeds in the field.
• Soul Patrol: Hunt undead Nokk (level 17+) across the stream from the farmhouse.
• Gekkdar: On the top floor of the city, behind the rats and bats, click the throne to spawn Gekkdar (level 20).

Final Rewards: Completing the entire Crescent Reach series grants a tunic, necklace, cloak, and shoulderpads.

Essential Tips and Mechanics

Inventory Management

Inventory space is limited in the early game. Visit the tinker merchant behind the bank to purchase Deluxe Toolboxes (10 slots, giant capacity) for 1p 1g 2c. Additionally, completing the Bazaar quest in the Plane of Knowledge provides two extra bags.

Trade Skills

Crescent Reach offers free trade skill quests that can raise any skill to 54 at no cost. Speak to the trade skill NPCs located near the upper-floor banker. This is highly recommended as later epic quests often require trade skill levels over 100.

Travel and Spells

Merchants in Crescent Reach only sell spells up to level 10. For higher-level spells, you must travel to the Plane of Knowledge. You can reach this area by running through the Hollows to Blightfire Moors and clicking the book near the rats, or by using the tutorial exit if you are level 10 or lower.

Grinding Locations

If you find yourself behind on experience requirements for the next quest block, the following areas are recommended for grinding:

• Levels 1–4: Entry area of the Hollows.
• Level 5: Areas across the bridge in the Hollows.
• Level 10: Cat and bear caves.
• Levels 15–25: The farm area, the Nokk caves, and the undead room on the city’s top floor.

Wayfarer’s Brotherhood

At level 15, speak to the NPC near the upstairs banker to begin the Wayfarer’s Brotherhood quest. Visit the Butcherblock LDoN camp and speak to Vual Stoutest. Answer his questions with "adventures," "favor journal," "Morden Rasp," and "farstone" to receive the Adventurer’s Stone, a charm augmentation that grows in power as you complete LDoN adventures.
