Axem The CuratorThese 3 quests are all offered by Axem the Museum Curator. He can be found in the large building to the west of the outdoor Gargoyle lawn area. The front of the building has four statues in the front, one of Paroxysmus, Monstrous Interred Grizzle, Lady Melisande & a Changling.
The reason that these three here are worthwhile is because as you've probably already come across some items which Axem wants. They are, Tattered Remnants of an Ancient Scroll (small grey squares), Ancient Pottery Fragments & and an Untranslated Ancient Tomb. Seemingly worthless items, however, this guy pays nicely for these items and gives you your reward in named pouches.
Starting with the quest "Putting the Pieces Together", you'll gather 5 of the 'Tattered Remnants...' and mark them as quest items in your backpack. Upon returning the pieces to Axem, he'll hand you a named pouch (Dusty Museum Bag...color varies) with a few gems, a mining gem (saphire or whatever...I got a Brilliant Amber this time) a new book title and color, along with at least 6500 in gold and 15 loyalty points. Easy cash while you hunt.
Next we'll go over "A Broken Vase." Here you'll want to gather 10 pieces of the "Ancient Pottery Fragments" and also mark them as quest items. Turning these in will get you a 'Meager Museum Bag' but still sprinkled with gems, mining gems, another new book, 5 loyalty points and about 3500 in gold.
Finally for Axem, is the better of the 3, the "Ye Olde Gargish." This book was a drop that I got doing the rats in the Abyss, but can be anywhere I suppose. You only need 1 book to finish this quest and when so, you'll be presented with a "Bulging Museum Bag" complete with again gems, mining gems, another book, parasitic plant at least 10,000 gold and 50 loyalty point.
Sliem The FenceShould you head in the northerly direction past the museum where we met Axem, up in the NW corner of the walled in Royal City, you'll find this shady fellow, Sliem. He requires 2 items, and gives in return a wonderfully named box, a random essance and 75 loyalty points. The items are: 2 perfect emeralds, and one Crystalline blackrock. Mark these and bring them to Sliem and you'll get a great box named "Essence Box." And guess what, I actually use this box and keep only my stacks of essence in it.
Thanks for looking, happy hunting and I hope you all make lots of cash !!
