I was just a few steps from completing a quest and failed miserably. I actually chuckle at the thought as it was really much too high a quest for me to try. It is a level 55 quest and I am still a lowly 52nd level.

I was training hard in the swamps of N’rolav when a beast dropped a small treasure box right in front of me. I picked it up and stood in awe for a minute. I hardly ever get a treasure box, a fact that is disheartening considering I hear of people that get boxes at least once a week. I hardly wanted to open it in fear it was another demon helm or a korunga fruit but I had to see. A treasure box does little for me unopened. I have heard of people that will pay a pretty penny for them but I’d hate to let it go and it be something I really wanted.

Indeed it was. I found my first crystalline shard. Naturally I though of the value of it but I choose not to sell. I will hold onto it and see if I can gain something even more valuable from it. I was close but just not yet.

I know my guild mates would help me with my quest and maybe I will seek their help but for now I need to get to 53rd level. There is a quest I can do before my 55th level quest and it will assist me greatly in the advancement of my final two levels.

I say final two but I have a feeling that there is soon to be a new area discovered and the maximum level the trainers will allow you to gain shall go up. It’s just a hunch, I have no solid proof that it will happen but now I have goals I can set my sights on.
