XP: 4350 EXP (or 26 40 at level 70)

This quest is part of the Rewriting the Battle of Darrowshire quest chain.

Objectives Edit

Bring Joseph's Wedding Ring to Chromie.

• [Joseph's Wedding Ring]

Description Edit

I wish Joseph could again be with his daughter, but it cannot be so. His soul was twisted by the Scourge, and he became a monster. Oh, he is doomed!

But perhaps we can change his fate.

Search the graves outside for Joseph's monument. His body's not there, for it was trampled and destroyed years ago, but under the monument is his wedding ring. Take that ring to Chromie... a strange gnome with very strange powers.

Chromie is staying in the ruined inn at the northwest corner of Andorhal.

(When you pick up the ring:) Joseph Redpath whispers: Save me...

Progress Edit

There is something timely about your visit. You're not from the future, are you?

Completion Edit

What is this? A wedding ring? Let me see...

Ah! This ring was once on the hand of a great man, but there is much tragedy in that man's past.

Are you here to help him? It's far too late for him now... but perhaps we can help him in the past!

Gains Edit

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

• 4350 XP (or 26 40 at level 70)

Patches and hotfixesEdit

• Patch 1.5.0 (2005-06-07): Characters on the "A Strange Historian" quest are now correctly prompted to find Chromie in the northwest corner of Andorhal, where she and the ruined inn have been moved to.
