Duddlinerk’s Recommended Quests, Dungeons, and Undertakings (53-55)
Unlock the Final Greater Stigma Slot
 |
|
The final Greater Stigma Slot can be unlocked by
completing quests in Beshmundir Temple |
 |
|
Duddlinerk |
What is one more Stigma slot, Daeva? Does it help much? Duddlinerk thinks one more cube slot would be nice…but not help business.
 |
|
Bluebeard |
One more, ONE MORE?! Greater Stigmas are a Daeva’s true source of power, not to mention the knowledge, skill, and soul of our ancestors...and I crave souls, Shugo…MOAR SOULS! Omnomnom!
 |
|
Duddlinerk |
Duddlinerk is scared, nyerk!
By completing repeatable quests in Beshmundir Temple, Daevas can unlock their final Greater Stigma slot. In order to access Beshmundir Temple, the Asmodians must first own all the Fortresses in the Gelkmaros region. When the Asmodians own all the Fortresses in Gelkmaros, the path to Silentera Canyon will open, inside of which is the Beshmundir Temple.
Fabled Grade Armor Rewards
 |
|
To begin the Fabled Armor quest, speak with
Darkhum at Primum Fortress |
 |
|
Duddlinerk |
Even Duddlinerk knows that Named Monsters can be stingy with loot, nyerk! But Daevas can now earn Fabled items through repeatable quests!
New repeatable quests involving the Instanced Dungeons in the Lower Abyss and the Abyssal Splinter are available from Darkhum at Primum Landing. By completing these quests a certain number of times, Daevas will receive Fabled armor pieces as a reward.
To complete these quests, the Asmodians must hold the Lower Abyss Fortresses, so there is some amount of luck involved in completion.

Upgrading to an Extendable Weapon
 |
|
Once Daevas have reached level 55, a new quest to create
an extendable weapon becomes available |
 |
|
Bluebeard |
This is taking too long—I want my extendable weapon now! You lied to me Shugo, I don’t believe this extendable weapon quest even exists!
 |
|
Duddlinerk |
Daeva accuses Duddlinerk of lie?! Duddlinerk never lies, nyerk! Well…was one time Duddlinerk passed off Common weapon as Fabled weapon with gold paint…but was different circumstances!
At level 55, Daevas can upgrade the Fabled weapon reward from the “To Stand Against the Elyos” quest. To extend the weapon, complete the For a Better [insert weapon type here] quest.
Quest Chain | Description | Quest Name |
| 1st | Complete the quest 30 times to receive a Fabled grade weapon as a reward | To Stand Against the Elyos |
| 2nd | N/A | Fatebound Polearm |
| 3rd | Complete the quest 30 times to upgrade the Fabled weapon from the To Stand Against the Elyos quest | For a Better Polearm |

Fabled Accessories from Decrees of Valor
 |
|
Bring Decrees of Valor to Valetta to earn
Fabled grade accessories! |
 |
|
Duddlinerk |
If Daeva collects Decrees of Valor, can trade for Fabled grade accessories, nyerk! Daeva has collected many?
 |
|
Bluebeard |
Blast! I crinkled those up and used them for wipin…starting a fire. I wish I had known earlier…
Decrees of Valor can be obtained by completing quests related to the Beshmundir Temple. These Decrees are kind of like coupons, and can be exchanged for Fabled grade accessories.
The selection of available Fabled accessories isn’t broad, but the accessories themselves are quite powerful.
Quest Turn-ins for Decrees of Valor

New Group Instanced Dungeon: Beshmundir Temple (Level 55)

The ominous Beshmundir Temple is located deep inside Silentera Canyon |
 |

Duddlinerk |
**Gasp** In Beshmundir Temple, Daevas can earn Fabled loot just for doing the related quests, nyerk!
Beshmundir Temple is a Group Instanced Dungeon located in Silentera Canyon. Only Daevas level 55 and above can enter.
The story of Beshmundir Temple begins with Stormwing, a colossal Dragon who was once Tiamat’s nemesis. However, Stormwing is now imprisoned deep inside the temple. The Beshmundir Temple is also rumored to be the home of structures related to the Petralith Energy Source.
Stormwing is the final boss of Beshmundir Temple, and has a chance to drop some amazing items.
With loot from Named Monsters, and Fabled items that can be earned through questing, Beshmundir Temple is a veritable treasure trove for high level Daevas.

Bluebeard |
Platinum Medals, Abyss Points, AND Eternal grade weapons?! Who cares about the rest of this content, the Abyssal Splinter is where it’s at!
 |
|
Duddlinerk |
Abyssal Splinter is very dangerous, nyerk! Daeva will need to take many friends.
The Divine Fortress now has an associated Instanced Dungeon: the Abyssal Splinter. This Instanced Dungeon is designed for Alliances of 12 Daevas.
