Whispers in the Ruins
Whispers in the Ruins is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Leathersmith merchant, part of the Midnight Stories quest line. The last place my daughter went was the Ruins. After all word of her was lost, I searched that place time and again but found nothing. Now I only hope to find even the smallest trace of her, even if it is found among the monsters that roam the Ruins. There are 2 objectives to complete: Kill 2× Harpy; Kill 10× any Skeleton. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Leathersmith in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Into the Abyss before it becomes available from Leathersmith. Completing Whispers in the Ruins rewards 150 Gold, Random Rare Armor, 350 XP. The quest is completed in Crypts. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Leathersmith quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The Midnight Stories chain provides a structured progression path through the Leathersmith quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
