Chieftess of Aran'riod

Phases of the Moon 

After the potion of revitalization has been completed, you must wait for midnight starting the correct phase of the moon to start the ritual. Determine the current phase using the command "time". "Help time" shows that one Achaean month is 25 hours irl. One Achaean month should go through all the moon phases. The phases seem to progress with half to six Achaean days (1 rl hour per Achaean day), with midnight starting the new moon phase. I guess that there is some calendar out there but I haven't found it.

Before you start the quest, bring a shovel! You'll need it to dig up the soil. Nearest city to the Northreach Forest is Hashan. Hashan's Bazaar has a shovel for sale for 750 gp.

See an external link for an image describing the cycle of the moon's phases listed below.
  1. Waxing crescent
  2. First quarter
  3. Waxing gibbous
  4. Full moon
  5. Waning gibbous
  6. Last quarter
  7. Waning crescent
  8. New moon
The quest requires that the potion be give to Chieftess of Aran'riod during the midnight that occurs between the Waning crescent and the New moon.

Achaea.info has a good walk through for the quest. Some changes are the following:
  • It is the chieftess we are helping to have everlasting life, not the priestess.
  • The gypsy is located 2w, nw, w, nw, w, sw, and n from "Before the bridge to Delos".
