Vesteria’s recent update brings a host of new challenges and rewards that promise to shake up your gameplay. In this guide, we break down the Elven Hero Quest and the journey to collect all four tomes, along with tips for unlocking free vanity items. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting, this article will walk you through every step in a clear, relaxed manner.
Getting Started with the Elven Hero Quest
The new quest is accessed via the vanity shop where a fresh NPC awaits your interaction. Upon speaking with her, you’ll kick off the quest by collecting four different tomes. The first tome, which is themed around Nilgar, is hidden in a chimney near the new librarian. While it may require some trial and error, a bit of exploration around the library area will eventually lead you to it.
Hunting Down the Tomes
Your journey involves scouring various locations:
-
Tome One: Found in a chimney near the library. Look out for subtle hints in the text, even if the instructions seem vague.
-
Tome Two: Located in Mushtown. Despite the game suggesting you speak with Scruff, the quest nudges you to explore this area for hidden items like the glowing, mystical mushroom behind the waterfall.
-
Tome Three: Hidden in the Tree of Life. Use warp points to navigate quickly to the library, where waiting for a bit can pay off.
-
Tome Four (The Cursed Tome): This one is unique. It requires cursed runes that you can obtain from a mysterious stranger who appears only at night. Alternatively, if you have a stockpile of runes, you can use those to unlock the cursed tome by teleporting to a secret location.
Each of these steps is designed to test your exploration and puzzle-solving skills, adding an exciting layer of challenge to the quest.
Unlocking the New Mage Book Ability
Once all tomes are in your possession, return to the quest NPC to claim your reward: the Elven Hero staff. This new staff not only enhances your magical capabilities by unlocking the basic offensive magic ability (activated with M1) but also allows you to toggle elf ears—a quirky addition that stands out despite the aesthetic preference of some players.
Exploring the New Free Vanity Options
Beyond the main quest, the update introduces a variety of free vanity items:
-
Shenlang’s Vis: A striking vanity item with an epic dragon head design, found in the Dragon Temple. Though the drop chance is extremely low, it’s a coveted find.
-
Gorg Vanity: Initially, you might come across a fake version, but with persistence, you can secure the legit Gorg vanity through fishing at the Gorg Pond.
-
Beggar’s Hat: By donating bronze coins to a hobo, you can eventually obtain his hat. Note that there is a cooldown period of 10 minutes between donations.
-
Whale Tail Quest Vanity: Completing the questline in Port Fidelio rewards you with mad scientist glasses. This involves several steps, including talking to key NPCs, pickpocketing a scientist for his key, and even navigating a tricky platforming challenge.
Each of these vanity items adds a personalized flair to your character, providing fun alternatives without costing you real money.
The Elven Hero Quest and the accompanying vanity updates are a testament to Vesteria’s commitment to fresh content and engaging gameplay.
