Madaster Mage of LC reports: "Caul creatures now drop key bits that when you use a lockpick tool on them, you can turn them into keys. The open chests called relequiaries. Screenshots of the assembled key and where one such relequiary exists are attached." Thanks also to Azuela of LC!

Lost of FF sends this update: "Hey Maggie I was out hunting on Caul after the servers came up and got a Broken Black Marrow Key. Since I do not have lockpick I could not repair it, but I heard a man in Eastham was looking for these items, so I took it to him.

Agent of the Arcanum tells you, "Look at how dark this pearl is, it seems to eat the very light around it. This is a truly rare find, some ancient Empyrean decoration no doubt, but I can't imagine it would be very different from the niffis pearls we know of."
