Objectives

Collect 25 Goren Crystals from Longtooth Gorgers.

•  [Goren Crystal] (25)

Description

I'm glad you arrived when you did.

The Laughing Skull orcs practice some strange spirit magic, but one of their traditions could be quite useful in our situation.

While I make preparations, can you gather the reagents?

First, we'll need crystals from the husks of goren corpses. You can find their bodies in the canyon.

Rewards

You will receive one of:

Item level 534 necklaces

	[Xuk's Good Xuk Charm]			[Laughing Skull Trophy Necklace]
	[Xuk's Spirit-Speaking Chain]			[Xuk's Fingerbone Pouch]
	[Xuk's Bad Xuk Charm]

You will also receive:

• 18 90
• 14100 XP

Progress

I have learned some of the Laughing Skull traditions. This is less strange than many.

Completion

Goren crystals are used by some as weapons. The acid left behind can be deadly, though, even to the wielder.

Notes

Pick up  [15-40] Hard Shell,  [15-40] Bad at Breaking, and  [15-40] Nisha's Vengeance before heading out.

Head southwest into Drywind Gorge, killing goren and looting their crystals all the way. On the west side of the gorge behind a pillar of rocks, find at ^{[43.3, 51.7]} an Odd Boulder. This one contains the Ancient Titan Chest.
