Unlocked at: Grandmaster Renown Tier 5
Source: Letter delivered by mail
Location: Midwood
Type: Hunt / Combat Encounter
Reward: A second legendary item (not specified in letter)
Quest Introduction
The player receives a mysterious letter regarding a stolen heirloom:
Letter: To whom it may concern,
Someone found my buried chest and took our family heirloom. It was an incredible diamond-studded sword that could cut through stone.
The thief must have snagged their tunic on the chest and left a piece of cloth. You could use this to track them down. Unfortunately, their footprints headed toward Midwood, and there is no way I could go in there.
Find our sword, and I will reward you with another legendary item that I do not cherish quite as much.
