Test of Witchcraft walkthrough
The third quest for the second profession for the Dark Avenger, the Necromancer and the Shillien Knight: Test of Witchcraft. This quest is common to all whose profession will stand on the dark side, and those are the Dark Avenger, the Necromancer and the Shillien Knight; they are considered dark sorcerers, unlike the elemental mages and the healers. There is a number of inaccuracies in the descriptions of this quest, and in the hints of the quest tab in the game everything is muddled too, so I will describe the whole walkthrough in detail.
Six gems of Aklantoth
Dragon Valley (teleport from Town of Giran). Take the quest from Shadow Orim. You receive:
Orim's Diagram.The quest is taken at level 39 from Shadow Orim, who stands in the location Death Pass (we teleport to Dragon Valley and run towards Oren). Orim wishes us to bring him six many-coloured beads (they even say they are precious). We set off.
Town of Giran. Find Armor Merchant Alexandria in the luxury shop. You receive:
Alexandria's Book.It is not far to go: to the luxury shop in Giran, where we talk to the NPC on the right, Trader Alexandria.
Find Magister Iker in the Mages Guild. You receive:
Iker's List.After her we go to the mages guild of Giran (on the right side of the temple, across the little bridge) to the NPC Magister Iker. Iker needs items that we will have to knock out of mobs.
Ivory Tower. Hunt Enchanted Stone Golem (lv. 42) until you have:
Enchanted Stone Golem Heartstone ×20.20 Enchanted Golem Heartstone from the mobs Enchanted Stone Golem in the location Ivory Tower Crater.
Plains of the Lizardmen (teleport from Town of Oren). Hunt Leto Lizardman (lv. 35), Leto Lizardman Archer (lv. 36), Leto Lizardman Soldier (lv. 37), Leto Lizardman Warrior (lv. 38), Leto Lizardman Shaman (lv. 39), Leto Lizardman Overlord (lv. 40) until you have:
Leto Lizardman Charm ×20.20 Leto Lizardman Charm from various Leto Lizardmen in the location Plains of the Lizardmen.
Sea of Spores (teleport from Town of Oren). Hunt Dire Wyrm (lv. 42) until you have:
Dire Wyrm Fang ×20.20 Dire Wyrm Fang from the mobs Dire Wyrm in the location Sea of Spores.
Town of Giran. Return to Magister Iker in the Mages Guild.
We knock them out, carry them to Iker and get the first bead.
Find Magister Kaira in the Dark Elven Guild.
In the dark elven guild of Giran we talk to Magister Kaira and get the second bead.
Town of Dion. Find Grocer Lara in the grocery store. You receive:
Lara's Memo.Then we go to the grocery shop of Dion to the huckster Trader Lara. She says that the quest mob Nameless Revenant has to be killed; it lives in the Execution Grounds, in the pit at the top, to which it is better to run from Giran, it is a little nearer from there.
Execution Grounds. Hunt Nameless Revenant (lv. 38) until you have:
Aklantoth 3rd Gem.We go down into the pit, beat the quest mob (there is a whole heap of them there) and get the third bead.
Gludin Village. Talk to Accessory Merchant Nestle. You receive:
Nestle's Memo.Now we go to the next huckster, namely to Trader Nestle in the grocery shop of Gludin Village. There is a slip at this point: as many times as you talk to her, so many papers you will have; I stopped only when I had 7 identical papers. But that is no trouble, they can be deleted later.
Talk to Leopold. You receive:
Leopold's Journal.We leave the shop and see the NPC Leopold on the left. We talk to him.
Ant Incubator. Hunt Skeletal Mercenary (lv. 39) until you have:
Aklantoth 4th Gem, 
Aklantoth 5th Gem, 
Aklantoth 6th Gem.And we teleport from Gludin to the entrance of the Wasteland. We go inside and look for the quest mobs Skeletal Mercenary. These quest mobs are on two different glades, the respawn is not fast, it makes sense to visit both glades. We knock the last three beads out of them.
Dragon Valley (teleport from Town of Giran). Return to Shadow Orim.
All the collected beads we carry to the start NPC Orim. From this place the walkthrough differs from what is published on various sites. When I came to hand the items in, two lines appeared: "Ask about the undead" and "Give the beads to Orim". Like a clever girl, I pressed the second line; after that an inscription in red appeared, such as I had seen in no quest, Orim yelled something, a new item appeared in the dialogue with him, I pressed it, and the quest mob Drevanul Prince Zeruel appeared, pinched all the beads and vanished. In short, at this point Orim starts swearing hard and cursing himself for having let the quest monster Drevanul Prince Zeruel out of confinement. And who is to catch it back? Why, we, of course. But it can be caught only with a special quest sword, for which we now set off.
Sword of Binding and Soultrap Crystal
Town of Giran. Return to Magister Iker in the Mages Guild. You receive:
Iker's Amulet, 
Soultrap Crystal.We talk to Orim once more and get two letters. First we go to the mages guild of Giran to Magister Iker, who gives you the Soultrap Crystal, with which the escaped demon can be caught.
Gludin Village. Find Sir Klaus Vasper next to the Warriors Guild. You receive:
Sir Vasper's Letter.Then we go to Gludin, where in front of the training hall stands Sir Klaus Vasper.
Town of Oren. Find Priest Vadin in the temple. You receive:
Vadin's Crucifix.And after him to the temple of Oren to the NPC Priest Vadin.
Hunters Valley. Hunt Tamlin Orc (lv. 41), Tamlin Orc Archer (lv. 42) until you have:
Tamlin Orc Amulet ×20.We go to knock 20 amulets out of the Tamlin orcs (we leave Hunters Village through the gate by the Olympiad pillar). The drop is so-so.
Town of Oren. Return to Priest Vadin in the temple. You receive:
Vadin's Sanctions.Having collected the amulets, we hand them in to Priest Vadin.
Gludin Village. Return to Sir Klaus Vasper next to the Warriors Guild. You receive:
Sword of Binding.Then we return to Gludin to Sir Klaus Vasper and get the Sword of Binding. We put it on the panel next to your main weapon, because the last blow on the quest mob has to be struck precisely with it.
Sealing Zeruel
Floran Village. Talk to Fisher Evert.
Now we teleport to the location Plains of Dion and run towards Floran Village. Before reaching Floran, on the pier we look for the NPC Fisher Evert, talk to him and in the dialogue press the line "pull out Sword of Binding": the quest mob Drevanul Prince Zeruel is summoned.
Kill Drevanul Prince Zeruel (lv. 42) to get:
Zeruel Bind Crystal.We beat it with the quest sword and get the items. Interestingly, all this time the arrow above the head pointed towards Orim, and only now has that direction become right.
Dragon Valley (teleport from Town of Giran). Return to Shadow Orim. You receive:
Mark of Witchcraft.We return to Orim, hand in all the items one by one and get the mark Mark of Witchcraft.
After doing all three quests and getting the three marks, the Dark Avenger has to go to the warriors guild in Giran to Grand Master Hannavalt, the Necromancer to the mages guild in Giran to Grand Magister Jurek, and the Shillien Knight to the dark elven guild in Giran to Grand Master Angus. In the dialogue choose the top line, the one about asking about a change of profession, choose our profession and press the line "change the profession". Congratulations, you have got the second profession.
Tips
- Casters can weaken the demon with spells and switch to the sword only for the last hits: what matters is the weapon in your hands when he dies.
