Mission:Tip - Darrin Wade's Wish List
Darrin Wade's Wish List (30-39)
You find a list of artifacts that are wanted by Darrin Wade, along with some notes made on it...
- Hardcase -
- It's interesting, the artifacts that Wade wants. He's definitely up to something, that's for sure, given how much he's willing to pay for them. When I did some research, I found out that there are two identical sets of these artifacts. The true set is being held by the Circle of Thorns - the other is in posession of the Carnival of Shadows.
- The thing is, the Carnies have the fake set - I don't know why they do, but they do. But you wouldn't know they're fake until you try to use them - at which point they would blow up in your face.
Darrin Wade, a newcomer to the Isles, is definitely someone who has layers upon layers of plans up his sleeve. These artifacts would probably further them. It's safe to asume all of these plans will lead to him obtaining some sort of immense power, given what you've heard from him.
If the artifacts that the Carnies have really aren't genuine, you could try to steal those and sell them to Darrin Wade - he'll never know that they're fake until they explode, and even then, you can cover it up so that no one knows that the true artifacts didn't just... explode upon use.
Or... you can beat Wade to the punch and raid the Circle's lair to take the artifacts for yourself. What is he doing about it? Send an ex-Midnighter after you?

Briefing
These artifacts must be fairly powerful if someone like Darrin Wade is looking for them. Too bad the person who was hired on to get the artifacts lost this list.
This can always be an opportunity for you, however. You can find the exact location of where the Circle is keeping those artifacts and steal them for yourself - before Wade has a chance to know what happens.
- Steal the Circle of Thorn's artifacts!
You head off to take those artifacts for yourself. Maybe if things go really well, Darrin Wade will get those fake artifacts. It could be a fun sight to see them blow up in his face.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Maybe an artifact blowing up in his face will make Wade a little less smug.
Mission Objective(s)
At this point, the city of Oranbega isn't really too unfamiliar to you. Unfortunately, from the sounds nearby, the Rikti are pretty familiar with this place as well.
- Steal the Circle's Artifacts!
- 3 Artifacts to find!
You've retrieved the three artifacts, though only one seemed to really catch your eye - which would be the one with the large eye in the middle of it.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Rikti Thief (Rikti Headman Gunman)
Debriefing
You've salvaged the raided lair of the Circle and walked away with a good haul. The best part might be thwarting Darrin Wade's own plans in order to further your own. Now it's just deciding if you should keep it to yourself or show off a bit to the ex-Midnighter.
Rogue Acceptance
Briefing
Darrin Wade has a reputation of using people to his own end - could be why he's not part of the Midnighter Club anymore. Though he also has a reputation for paying very well. If this note is true, the duplicate artifacts are so spot on that it would be too difficult for anyone to tell that they're different - until the final moment.
Getting these duplicate artifacts for Wade will earn you some cash, and also prevent him from whatever he may be planning next.
Get the duplicate artifacts for Darrin Wade!
Of course the only downside to this plan is having to deal with the Carnival of Shadows. You'll have to make sure to get the smell of evil harlequins off the artifacts before you give them to Wade.
Mission Objective(s)
The rave music is pounding, though there doesen't seem to be too many Carnies at this specific club
- Steal the duplicate artifacts!
- Find where the Carnies are storing the artifact!

Artifact Enchantment |
| You found a note in the chest regarding the artifacts. It says that a woman named Mistress Belinda has enchanted them so that instead of exploding when they're used, they'll explode when they're taken out of the warehouse. You'll have to find her to remove this enchantment! |
Mission Objective(s)
- Force Belinda to remove the enchantments!
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Mistress Belinda (Carnival of Shadows Dark Ring Mistress) (Boss)
|
We've Got You Now |
| Belinda fell to the ground, laughing. The Carnival Mask slipped off of her, revealing that it was not one of the usual one that the Carnies use.
We've got you now, Character. The enchantment was a fake! Longbow is here now to mke sure opportunists like youget put away a long time! |
|
Ambush!
After defeating Mistress Belinda Longbow troops will spawn all over the map. |
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat the lead Longbow Officer to get out!
Despite Longbow's interference, you were able to get the fake artifacts to sell to Darrin Wade. One trick after another...
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Officer Snyder (Longbow Officer) (Boss)
Debriefing
After defeating the Longbow ambush, you informed Darrin Wade that you had the artifacts. He arrived shortly after to collect and gave you the payment requested - he wasn't able to tell at all that these were fake artifacts. This should be something interesting to remember down the line.
