What Has Been Worn Away

What Has Been Worn Away is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Tailor merchant, part of the Reap What You Sew quest line. Lately, I have been repairing more garments than making new ones, especially those worn by adventurers returning from their journeys. If they are damaged to this extent, the cause cannot be ordinary. If you are willing, could you look into it for me? Should you encounter anything dangerous, please take care and bring back anything that might serve as a clue. There are 2 objectives to complete: Bring 1× Rotten Fluids; Bring 1× Sturdy Cloth. 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 Cutting Edge before it becomes available from Tailor. Completing What Has Been Worn Away rewards 35 XP, 35 Gold, 2x Arcane Essence. The quest is completed in Ice Cavern, Goblin Caves, Ruins or Ship Graveyard. 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.

So it was those things that are neither dead nor alive. Where do these cursed creatures even come from? I have also heard of people returning from their expeditions in a rather peculiar state. I cannot help but wonder if there is a connection. This is something I must look into.
