Walkthrough
- 1First up, head to South Station in Luxerion and chat with Ranulph at his table.
- 2Next, make your way to the Commercial District and find Mitka. You can talk to her any day between 06:00 and 01:00.
- 3Now, you need to track down the Man With No Name. He's chilling in the Warren. Enter from the North Station entrance, and you'll spot him chilling in front of a shack that leads down to the lower areas. Have a word with him.
- 4Time for a change of scenery! Travel to Yusnaan and head to the Banquet of the Lord. Look for Erine; she's got the journal you're after.
- 5When you speak to Erine, you'll have a choice: read the journal or don't.
- 6If you read the journal: You'll unlock another quest called “To Save the Sinless,” which has better rewards.
- 7If you don't read the journal: You'll still be able to complete this quest, but you won't get that extra quest.
- 8After your chat with Erine, head back to Ranulph in Luxerion. Hand over the journal.
- 9Depending on whether you read the journal or not, Ranulph will either give you your reward directly or tell you about a reporter in Luxerion who might have more info.
Tips
- The choice you make about reading the journal directly impacts whether you unlock the “To Save the Sinless” quest. If you're aiming for maximum quests and rewards, consider reading it.
- Make sure you're checking the time of day for Mitka's availability!
