DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

The quest is called "The Broken Seal" And it was initialed in Tir Urphost by talking to the Druid Tobryn, who is standing next to a tree just SW of town.

He launches into a story about how he is too busy to talk due to his study of the kaolinth. He goes on to tell you the kaolinth are very
temperamental and that all of Hibernian would be better if they were locked away and it just so happens he's found the magical means to do
so... but he needs you help.

After accepting the quest he asks you to go deep into the Kaolinth caves and fetch a craved piece of Azurite from the Kaolinth Castellan. After acquiring that, you are asked to get a bit
of the glowing moss they grown down there. That can only be found with the Kaolinth elder.

After obtaining the items from the kaolinth castellan and elder, you are sent back to the druid in tir uphorst who than gives you a medallion that you are to use at the mouth of the cave, you will notice when getting close to cave entrance it will say you have entered the mouth of koalinth caverns this is actually in cliffs of moher and not inside.

This part took a while as well do to the fact that you use the medallion but something usually keeps it from working. Well finally was able to use the medallion at the entrance and a koalinth guardian spawned on top of me and begin mentioning that it wasn't possible to seal the cavern as the koalinths had already prepared for the attempt. He attacks you immediately and is level 27. After killing him return to the druid to say you were not able to seal the cave.

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, this is seriously frustrating. I'm at the mouth of the cave, I've got the talisman in a quick slot, I'm trying to use it, but I keep getting this message:

"You attempt to use the Softly Glowing Talisman.
You can't fire or ready that item!"


I've been here nearly an entire day (in-game) thinking the time of day might have something to do with it, as is the case with tons of other quests, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

WTH am I doing wrong? >:(
Wouldn't work :(

It's busted - the quest was introduced in 1.60 but isn't capable of being finished until we get 1.61. It's in the 1.61 patch notes. HTH.

I completed this quest at 38 because i never go out here. The walkthrough earlier will lead you through pretty easily. The castellan con'd green to me and the elder was blue with two green crab guards.

The reward is somewhat nice though. It is a Waterspun Belt of the Thicket. Bonus of +7 to dex and a +3 to regrowth. Not bad at all. No experience reward though, unlike the murie tomb quest.
Different belt

As a nightshade, I got a different reward:

Waterspun Belt of the Hidden
+7 dex +7 con +2 stealth

Also, using the talisman didn't take long at all for me- as soon as I entered "the Mouth of Koalinth Caverns" I put the talisman in a quickslot and "used" it like you would a potion- click E, then click on it. Koalinth guardian popped right on me, blue at level 32.

Oh, and a word of warning- when killing the Koalinth Elder, he's in a room at the end of a hallway with 2 crab guardians. In the hallway before that room are 6 koalinth guardians. At 32 everything was green but the Elder, who was blue. My partner and I were clearing the way to him, and pulled the first one on the right- the first and second one came. Then we pulled the last one on the right- brought the KE and his 2 guards, as well. The KE will stand and cast. Can be very annoying, so be prepared.

I was able to get this quest as a 24 blademaster, and the patch notes mentioned it being a 24 quest so I believe that is the starting level, although i wasn't able to complete it till I was 28 when i was finally able to get a couple people to help out as at 24 your not going to be able to complete the quest alone. After obtaining the items from the kaolinth castellan and elder, you are sent back to the druid in tir uphorst who than gives you a medallion that you are to use at the mouth of the cave, you will notice when getting close to cave entrance it will say you have entered the mouth of koalinth caverns this is actually in cliffs of moher and not inside.
