Important warning

Possible quest items

Which materials are linked to Arbiter armor?

These four items are associated with four pieces of Arbiter armor. Treat them as useful leads, not a guaranteed checklist, and compare them with the objective shown in your journal. For three of them no merchant, quest reward or fixed pickup is known yet.

Possible quest material

Flask of Quicksilver

This item is linked to Shin Guards of the Arbiter. Compare its exact name with your active quest requirement before buying, selling or travelling for it.

Possible quest material

Large Lizard's Moult

This item is linked to Bracers of the Arbiter. Compare its exact name with your active quest requirement before buying, selling or travelling for it.

Possible quest material

Silk Threads

This item is linked to Boots of the Arbiter. Compare its exact name with your active quest requirement before buying, selling or travelling for it.

A merchant in Briar Sloughs can carry Silk Threads, but the exact map marker is still unclear.

Possible quest material

The Lost Saint's Relic

This item is linked to Armour of the Arbiter. Compare its exact name with your active quest requirement before buying, selling or travelling for it.

Do not confuse Saint’s Tibia with The Lost Saint’s Relic. Saint’s Tibia exists as a separate item, but it is not included in the four links above.

Quest troubleshooting

Why can’t I continue the quest?

  1. CHECK 1

    Read the active objective

    Check whether the journal is asking you to collect an item, return somewhere or finish another interaction.

  2. CHECK 2

    Check the exact item names

    Do not substitute Saint’s Tibia for The Lost Saint’s Relic because their names sound similar.

  3. CHECK 3

    Follow the attached marker

    Use the marker on the active objective instead of assuming the Uriash blacksmith is the hand-in NPC.

  4. CHECK 4

    Then check for a game issue

    If the objective, inventory and marker all agree but nothing changes, check the troubleshooting page for current issues.
