How to Start the Dream Ring Quest in ArcheAge

The quest for the coveted Dream Ring in ArcheAge is a challenging but rewarding journey. This powerful piece of equipment is considered end-game gear, offering significant stat boosts for dedicated players. Starting this questline requires a specific approach, and this article will guide you through the initial steps and answer frequently asked questions to set you on the right path.

Initiating the Dream Ring Questline

The first step in beginning the Dream Ring questline does not involve any NPC interaction. Instead, it begins with finding a specific drop item. This item is found by defeating monsters at a particular location. To start your quest, you will need to acquire the Dream Ring Creation Quest Item, which drops in the waters around Sunken Island, South of Freedich Island.

Sunken Island Exploration

To get to Sunken Island you need to grab some Dahuta’s Bubble(s) to be able to stay underwater and dive. Once you’re at the location, you’ll find a variety of underwater mobs, and these have a chance to drop the crucial Dream Ring Creation Quest Item.

Mini-Bosses and Increased Drop Rate

While all underwater mobs at Sunken Island offer a chance to drop the needed quest item, the mini-bosses associated with the quest to obtain Prince Riesig the Accursed Ancient Tokens have a significantly higher drop rate. Focusing on these mini-bosses is a good strategy if you are having trouble getting the item to drop from the normal mobs.
