Dialogue

Have you come seeking the knowledge I possess about the relics you carry? Or perhaps you would like to browse my collection of recipes?

I'd love some more information about these relics, Ikur.

Of course. What would you like to know?

What are they used for?

Relics like these contain great power that a skilled wielder can draw on. Trust me, once you use one in battle, you'll understand why they're so highly valued.

I have more questions.

I'll have to give them a try then.

How old are they?

Ah, a tricky question. The unusual materials are as old as Tyria, maybe older. But they've developed their essence from their surroundings only recently.

Older than Tyria?

It's possible. We don't really understand how they came to be, and there's nothing else on Tyria quite like them. They may have not originated here at all.

I have more questions.

I guess there's a lot I don't understand yet.

How recently?

Well, they only gained their current strength at the end of the Dragon Cycle. The Elder Dragons were fundamental to Tyria; their destruction likely altered the nature of a great many things.

I have more questions.

I'm seeing that more every day.

Which one is the best?

I don't think it's quite as simple as that. They each have very unique properties that suit different approaches and situations. I think you'll just have to decide for yourself which serves you best.

I have more questions.

It seems like that's often the solution.

Where does their power come from?

When exposed to beings of great power, these stones seem to imprint with them, capturing a reflection of that being. That power remains contained within until someone capable of using it comes along.

I have more questions.

I guess that's where I come in.

That answers my questions, thanks.

Show me the recipes you've gathered.

Actually, never mind.

Mail

The following mail is sent during Mabon's Fate:

Archivist Ikur Interested in relics? Wayfinder, I've been wanting to speak with you regarding the relics you helped R'tchikk recover in the Wizard's Tower. Come find me on the lower level of the Wizard's Tower, by the central staircase, if you want to learn more about them and how they might be able to help you grow in power. —Archivist Ikur

Notes

Anomaly:

Despite what is said in the mail Ikur sends the player, they are not located near the central staircase, but instead are in the north-east.
