Blood at the Barbican is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Tailor merchant, part of the Reap What You Sew quest line. I looked further into the people returning in such a wretched state. Some of them were spotted near the outskirts of the Forgotten Castle. Could you go and see for yourself what is happening there? Whether it is connected to the curse or not, we need to know. If you come across any traces of slaughter or battle, bring back whatever you can. The objective is to explore barbican. 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 Tailor in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing What Has Been Worn Away before it becomes available from Tailor. Completing Blood at the Barbican rewards 50 XP, 50 Gold, Random Uncommon Armor, 2x Arcane Essence, Random Uncommon Weapon. 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 Tailor quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The Reap What You Sew chain provides a structured progression path through the Tailor 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.
