Cutting Edge
Cutting Edge is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Tailor merchant, part of the Reap What You Sew quest line. You’ve arrived. Good to see you still standing. I’ve got a dark muse whispering in my ear and a new creation that demands to be brought to life. I need someone I can rely on for this task. Let’s make sure you haven’t grown lazy and soft like the cushions on my settee. We’re not getting any younger, unfortunately. There are 2 objectives to complete: Kill 3× Skeleton Archer; Kill 3× Skeleton Swordsman. 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 Is it you? before it becomes available from Tailor. Completing Cutting Edge rewards 35 XP, 35 Gold, Random Uncommon Armor. 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.
