Marble-Sanded Beach

Continent: Lucetium

Description:

• Lowbie Area that is accessible via the Newbie posts (go beach)
• Also a good area for alchemists to harvest "tendrils" from the jellyfish

Quests:

• Help Hyperion collect their 4 precious diamonds
• The reward is a battleaxe that they will make for you
• Special thanks to Sansai for tips on how to solve this quest.
• One diamond is carried by the diamond hunter and drops when you kill them
• One diamond is in the catacombs when you "search tombstone"
• One diamond can be obtained in the ocean by using the command "dive water"
• The last diamond can be found if you "ask vincewind about riddle"

Equipment:

• Enumlia, the Battleaxe of Forever Midnight <red glow>
• I've seen reference to this being: +3 Con, +2 Hpr, +magical dam
• When my riftwalker wielded it I saw: +5 wis, +4(ish) Spr, +magical dam
• Level limited

Open Questions:

• Is there any way to get into the lake?
• What is the level limit to the battleaxe of forever midnight?
• Also, how does its damage compare to other weapons?

Notes:

Entrance (And Beach):

• In the outerworld you will encounter the ancient titan Hyperion who is looking for their four lost diamonds.
• Hyperion says the diamonds are somewhere in the beach
• Do not even think about attacking Hyperion. He's in the 9 man party of level 100's to kill category.
• There is a wandering diamond hunter that if you kill will drop a yellow diamond of Oceanus
• This diamond used to belong to the titan Oceanus
• If you kill a jellyfish, it will drop a mussel
• You can "open mussel" to see if it has a treasure in it.
• Very rarely, (1 in 20ish), it will have a pearl which will appear in your inventory.
• This pearl will allow you to enter the hidden cave (described in a following section)
• In the ocean if you "look bottom" you will see some glittering
• If you "dive" it will say "you dive only a bit!"
• If you "dive water" you will find another diamond. Thanks Sansai for this tip!

Forest, Marketplace, and Catacombs:

• There is a lake in the forest, but I couldn't interact with it or enter it.
• The big and strong guard in front of the marketplace is super tough. I would not recommend attacking them.
• If you go down you will find yourself in a catacomb maze that you need to solve to escape
• One solution: West, South, North, West, North, North
• At the end of the catacombs is an aggressive skeleton
• If you "search tombstone" in this room you will find another diamond
• In the flower shop you can buy pretty much any flower you want
• I don't think this is quest related, but it can be a nice present to another player
• Vincewind the weird mage on the other hand is super sus.
• If you ask them about "diamond" they specifically say they have not heard of any diamonds
• One of their hands is "invisible".
• If you "ask vincewind about riddle" they will ask you the name of a dragon that lives in a valley.
• The answer is "tiamat". Thanks Sansai for this tip!
• Vincewind will then give you another diamond. This will probably be your fourth diamond so you can now complete the quest.

Finishing the Quest:

• Once you have all four diamonds, go out to the entrance and give them to Hyperion.
• Text when you complete the quest:
• Hyperion exclaims 'May Athene bless you young one! This is my diamond!'    
• Hyperion says 'You have given me all the diamonds I was looking for. I shall reward your young soul for the efforts. I will give you a battleaxe, which should help you in your path.'
• Hyperion gives Kikisisu Enumlia, the Battleaxe of Forever Midnight.
• Hyperion says 'Remember to appreciate this piece of weaponry. It is now only a weak shade of what it could be. It is meant to grow along with your own experiences. The more you learn about fighting, the more shall your battleaxe help you. But remember young one: it is a good weapon, but you can use it only in your early life adventures.'
• This axe is super nice. I think it changes its stats based on what background your character is. It is level limited though. Not sure of what the level limit is.

Hidden Cave:

• Going to the northern beach area blocked by the bluffs, there is a circular hole in the rocks. Once you find a pearl from killing jellyfish you can "put pearl into hole" to open up a hidden entrance to a cave.
• Warning: Once you go into the cave the entrance will close on you. So you need to continue through the cave. There is no going back.
• At the bottom of the cave is an old hermit who brags their mighty sword can cut your head off
• You can "enter crack" to end back out in the sea where you killed the jellyfish.
