Warden marks
Warden marks are the long road of Dillei: earned a few at a time by everything you do for the Wardens of the Dawn - quests, hunting tasks, the seal keepers - and spent at Quartermaster Ilda in the Warden Hall on Dawnwatch, on gear that never leaves you. Your marks are at the top of the QUESTS window.
How to earn them
- Quests - every quest pays some, once (the table below).
- Hunting tasks - every task you finish with Varek: one mark for each 25 creatures, twice that for creatures worth 120 experience or more, three times for 600 or more. 100 rats pay 4, 100 cyclops 8, 100 dragons 12. See Tasks.
- The seal keepers - the great bosses pay marks when they fall, once a day each (the table below).
How to spend them
- Where: Quartermaster Ilda, inside the Warden Hall on Dawnwatch, the isle of the Wardens far to the west. Any captain sails there - free players too.
- The hall door opens once you have finished The Dawnwatch Beacon (a quest from Archivist Durna in Hammerhold, level 40).
- Price is what the thing costs in marks. Some gear also needs a number of marks earned in all - the marks you already spent count too - so the best of it waits for the patient.
- Bound: Warden gear never leaves its owner. It cannot be dropped, traded, sold or put on the market, and it stays with you when you die.
- Rolled: what she sells is rolled like a drop - it may come out magical, rare, legendary or mythical.
- Recycle: she takes any Warden thing in your bags back for an eighth of its price in marks (never what you wear). The marks earned in all do not grow by it.
