Story and quests

The Diamond Shores chapter of the main story has 185 quests, including 64 small hidden quests – such as returning lost fishing rods to the fishers. Our main story page lists them all in game order, with location and rewards – with checkboxes. On top come side and story quests and the Bluesalt Brotherhood job board with gathering, hunting and delivery contracts. Which areas suit your level is shown on Leveling.

Dungeons, raid and field bosses

Diamond Shores has two dungeons for 4 players each: the Old Temple with final boss Awakened Zerdaos (level 15) and the Throne of Hinnon with final boss Helkum, King of Hinnon (level 30). Find the Throne of Hinnon key with our Throne of Hinnon Dungeon Key guide – in Early Access it lies in the Seaglass Tower. On top come the Crimson Rift raid for up to 12 players and 19 field bosses – all with level, respawn and loot under Bosses & dungeons, where you can also tick off defeated field bosses. Our field boss guide shows where each one stands.

Collecting and progress

The most important collectibles are the 11 Raeven’s Coilstones: they grant the Trait Points for your perk trees. Our Coilstone guide shows where they are. The others have guides of their own: Nui’s Tears, Nui Statues, Hersander’s Towers and Books of Perdita, Mir’s Far Sight and Record Stones. Tick off Coilstones, Nui Statues, towers, Nui’s Tears and Record Stones on our Collectibles page or right on the world map with a click. Your progress shows on our overview under “Your progress” – synced across devices with an account.

Tip: Plan your perks ahead in the build planner – with every weapon playable in Early Access.
