World Quests

This section lists the standard world quests in The Ringing Deeps that do not have a special quest type (PvP, pet battle, Skyrider racing, or Special Assignment).

All Worked Up

• Earthenworks Disruptions Thwarted

To complete this quest, you must kill many mobs in The Earthenworks area in the north of the zone. There are no interactive objects for this one. The Dogmatic humanoid enemies are worth 2% of your progress bar each (Dogmatic Forgecaster, Dogmatic Machine Speaker, and Dogmatic Soot-Seer). Mechanical enemies (Earthenwork Ironstrider and High Speaker’s Construct) are worth 5% each.

Candle Kingbreaker

• Liberate the Warrens

The easiest way to complete this quest is to Skyride through the rings above The Warrens, which will cause you to throw out pamphlets to the kobolds. You can also complete this quest by killing Oppressed Kobolds and Waxtail Scavengers, or by collecting Liberated Scrap from Intriguing Scrap piles on the ground.

Capturing the Cataract’s Creatures

• Ride the Cataloger’s Disc
• Take Pictures of Wildlife

You’ll need to mount the stealthed Cataloger’s Disc beside the Cataract River (52.9, 47.6). Then you’ll be taking pictures of wildlife to fill the progress bar. Common pictures will give you 3% progress each, Rare pictures are worth 5%, Epic pictures give 10%, and a Legendary picture gives 20%. To get a Legendary shot, keep an eye out for Cataract Strider (51.7, 54.5).

Claimed Salvage

• 12 Goblins Slain
• 6 Ancient Titan Salvage

Ancient Titan Salvage can be obtained by looting Salvage Crates around the area. You’ll also need to kill goblins from among Overworked Cook, Thirsty Salvager, and Weary Laborer.

Cloud Farming

• Summon your Skyriding Mount or mount Trained Shalewing (Optional)
• 30 Clouds farmed

Hop on your mount or use the Trained Shalewing nearby (58, 64.4). Then fly through the rings to farm the clouds, avoiding the purple orbs. You can complete this quest with either Steady Flight or Skyriding active.

Construct Containment

• Slow and slay the Lava Laden Crystal Construct
• Skyride through the construct to stun it (optional)

All you need to do for this quest is defeat the Lava Laden Crystal Construct, a level 80 elite that is running around the Shadowvein Extraction Site (57.2, 40.3). This will be easier to do if you stun it first by Skyriding through it. You’ll need to Switch Flight Style for this if you are currently using Steady Flight. Fly through the ring around the mob to stun it.

Courier Mission: Ore Recovery

• Pick up an ore bucket (Optional)
• Deposit a total of 10 ore across the bridge to the west

To get started, pick up the Ore Bucket in the middle of Taelloch Mine (64.6, 64). Then click on lumps of Taeloch Ore on the ground to pick them up. You’ll gain a buff which will allow you to keep track of how many you are carrying. You can’t mount while carrying them, but you can use speed-boosting abilities.

You will have a special ability available during this quest, Stabilize!, which you must use to keep your ore haul balanced. Use this whenever the “Stumbling!” announcement pops up. If you fail to do so, all of the ore you are carrying will be tossed out on the ground around you and you will have to pick it up again. Hold down the button until it reaches the sweet spot on the bar to gain the Perfect Balance buff. To turn in the ores and complete the quest, head to the marked location at the end of the bridge (61, 64).

Depositing all 10 ore at the same time will earn you the I Only Need One Trip achievement. If you bring 20 ores to the Reclamation Machinest, he will construct a contraption which you and other players can use to make the trip easier. Contributing 100 ore to these contraptions will award you the For the Collective achievement.

Deworming Solution

• 12 Worms Slain

You’ll need to kill Deeps Larva and Deeps Spitter to complete this quest. Deeps Spitters can be found wandering around while Deeps Larva will be burrowed beneath the ground nearby. Hunters can use Track Beasts to spot them more easily.

Excavation Liberation

• Defeat hostile creatures and retrieve earthen tools

Earthen Tools can be found lying on the ground throughout the Abyssal Excavation site. You can also choose to fight Feral Hardhead and Invasive Hardhead in the area. Each tool picked up or creature defeated will fill your progress bar about 6%.

Geothermal Gem Treatment

• 12 Dull gems collected
• 12 Gems heat treated

Enter a cave near the Hallowfall Gate (40.4, 17.9) and loot the Dull Gemstones on the ground throughout. Then exit the cave and head to a nearby lava pool. When you get close, you’ll have a special ability: Heat Treatment. Using this ability will cause one of two things to happen. Either a Gem-Jammed Slag Bubble will spawn, and you can kill it to loot the heated gem, or you will drop a gem in the lava that you will automatically loot after a few seconds.

Mineral Buildup

• 12 Destroy excess mineral deposits

You’ll find Mineral Deposits as attackable globs on the ground near the pipes in The Waterworks. Sometimes they will spawn a Mineral Elemental that you will need to kill.

Look for Mining Tools on the ground around The Rumbling Wastes. Along the way, you’ll need to kill 12 Skardyn in the area. These can be Rampaging Blight, Skardyn Degenerator, Skardyn Devastator, Skardyn Reaver, or Voidstone Behemoth.

Pipe Patcher

Fly up to the pipes above Gundargaz and look for steam that is leaking out. Fly close and you will automatically patch them.

Reaching for Resources

Click on the Climbing Gear at the bottom of the rockface to equip it. Then click on the Handholds to start climbing. Make use of the special abilities to maintain your grip and navigate the cliff. Click on the Ancient Celestite you encounter along the way to loot them and complete the quest.

Completing this quest without leaping to more than 25 handholds will earn you the Hanging Tight achievement.

Scrounge that Scrap!

• 6 Useful Scrap located

You can collect scrap by rummaging through Promising Scrap Piles along the water banks in the Chittering Den.

Taelloch Cleanup

In the town of Taelloch, look for Earthen Memory Gem Fragments that you can loot for about 6% of your progress bar each. You can also kill Skarydyn in the area. Cursed Miner, Corrupted Spellshaper, Skardyn Husk, Unstable Skardyn, and Voidtouched Speaker are worth 6% while Tainted Fragments are worth 1% each. If you’re having trouble finding spawns, try looking inside the inn (64.2, 57.4).

Mobs that drop them include Flickerflame Candleflayer, Flickerflame Candlekeeper, Flickerflame Enforcer, Flickerflame Geomancer, Flickerflame Kobold, Flickerflame Overseer, Flickerflame Scrabbler, and Flickerflame Sticker.

To enable War Mode, head to a major city (Dornogal, Valdrakken, or your faction capital) and open your talents window. Click on the circle in the lower right corner so that it lights up. There are ways to complete these quests without killing other players, but you must have War Mode on the whole time.

Special Assignment World Quests

These world quests require completing a certain number of other world quests in The Ringing Deeps before they will become available. Until this prerequisite is met, they’ll appear on the map with a lock symbol.

Special Assignment: Shadows Below

• Gather fuel (Optional)
• 3 Drills refueled
• 1 Droghung slain

For this quest, you’ll be gathering fuel to refill drills while killing Militia members and Shadelings in Obsidian Hollow. Interact with Trapped Emergency Militia NPCs who are standing in oil pools and pull them out to get Radiant Fuel Crystals. You can also defeat enemies in the area to loot the crystals, or you can interact with Wounded Emergency Militia, who will drop them on the ground as a thank you.

Take these crystals to the Shadowseam Drills that are marked on the map. You’ll need 5 crystals to fuel each drill, so 15 total. When all three drills have been fueled, the Shadowseam they are aimed at will become clickable. Use it to enter the lair of Droghung and slay it. A Portal to the Surface will appear behind him so you can return to The Ringing Deeps.

Each difficulty grants better rewards and costs more Radiant Echoes to start.
