The Ring of Desiccation can easily be stolen from the Museum of Oddities.

[edit] Quick Walkthrough

1. Speak to Ahjazda about the "Coming Storm"
2. Steal the Ring of Desiccation from the Museum of Oddities.
3. Get the Calming Pants from Fimmion.
4. Get the Amulet of Disintegration from Milchar.

[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

Ahjazda, the owner of Things Found asks you to retrieve three items for her so that she may prepare for "The Coming Storm." The three items she needs are as follows: the Ring of Desiccation, the Calming Pants, and the Amulet of Disintegration.

[edit] Ring of Desiccation

The Ring of Desiccation is located in the Museum of Oddities in Crucible. It is in a locked display case on the second level of the building. You may get a tour from the owner who also shows you a Pygmy's Head and a Gatekeeper's arm which you may also take.

[edit] Calming Pants

If you speak to the beggar, Fimmion, about the Calming Pants, he will request a Sweetroll. You can trade a Sweet Roll for the pants. You can also kill him and take the pants from his body. If you'd prefer the non-violent option, one source of sweetrolls in Shivering Isles is in Rendil Drarara's kitchen. But don't give Fimmion more than one sweetroll, as he will give you a number of pants. You will not be able to turn them in because you have more than one.

[edit] Amulet of Disintegration

The Amulet of Disintegration is located in the ruins of Milchar, located in the northwestern section of Mania. Make your way to Milchar, Chatterhall and you will find a room containing a chest and a Ritual Torch. If you try to pick up the torch you will receive a message saying it "can be held by any but owned by none." If you use the grab key, you can move the torch without adding it into your inventory. Using a Telekinesis spell may also improve your grip. Use the torch to light the three podiums in the room. Be aware that the podium fires will extinguish after a few seconds, so you will have to be quick in lighting all the fires. When all podiums are lit at once, you will be able to open the Diligence Crux in the middle of the room. This urn holds the amulet.

[edit] Reward

Return to Ahjazda with your items. In return she will teach you the spell "Ahjazda's Paranoia" which is frenzy up to level 25 in 50 feet for 10 seconds on touch.

[edit] Notes

• Since the Ring of Desiccation is originally part of the Museum of Oddities, after you have completed this quest, you can actually buy the ring back from Ahjazda and donate it back to the Museum.
• After completing the quest, you can kill Ahjazda and take back the items (or pickpocket them from her). They are still considered quest items however and cannot be removed from inventory. Only the Ring of Desiccation can be removed by "re-donating" it to the Museum of Oddities.
• If you put on the Amulet of Disintegration then you will have a permanent flame effect that not only looks cool but helps to train your armorer skill

[edit] Bugs

• If you give Fimmion two Sweet Rolls at the same time (one for this quest and one for the quest Falling Awake), he may not give you the Calming Pants. If you give him three Sweet Rolls, you might receive two pairs of the pants. Unfortunately, Ahjazda will not accept either pair and you will not be able to complete the quest.
  • This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.
• The Milchar, Chatterhall torches around the urn will already be lit due to a bug so it makes it appear that lighting the braziers won't make any difference, but it should work anyways if the braziers are lit quickly enough. PC players can bypass any problems with this section of the quest by using the Console to add the Amulet of Disintegration to their inventory with this command: player.additem 0007872e 1.
  • This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.
• There is a chance that you cannot start or finish the quest. The reason for that is when Ahzjada leaves her shop she will leave from the top floor door. This will cause her to jump off the balcony, which causes a major health loss for her.
  • This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.
• The Ring of Desiccation may be permanently missing from its display case. This may occur if you previously stole the ring and then gave it back to Una Armina. In this case, a bug described in the "Bugs" section of the Museum of Oddities page can cause the ring to become permanently stuck in Una's inventory. The only way for Xbox 360 and PS3 players to retrieve the ring is to pickpocket it (murdering Una for it is also a possibility but will of course terminate the Museum of Oddities quest.)
  • This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.

Notes

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage quest stage. Where quest is the internal name of the quest, and stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
