Progress

The most powerful of the undead carry scourgestones imbued with the darkest magic.

We do not know from whence they came, but their power is unlike any we have encountered before.

Please relinquish any you find to the Argent Crusade. Who knows what foul evil may be lurking within them?

•  [Pitch Black Scourgestone] (25)

Completion

We will study these stones at once and seal them away. They bring me unease.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 3x [Argent Commendation]

Notes

Bosses are an excellent source of pitch black stones. They generally drop ~35 each, and bosses spawn every twenty minutes. See the rares section of Death Rising for their spawn order and a map.

The subject of this section did not make it out of the PTR stages.

Progress

The most powerful minions of the chaotic undead masses carry even darker scourgestones these days. We do not know where they came from, but we do know that they teem with strange, otherworldly power. We suggest you bring any of them that you find directly to us. Who knows what may be lurking within?

Completion

We will put this to study at once, and keep them locked in a holy vault. They make me uneasy.
