== Overview ==
Quest to obtain one of [[Lady Maila]]'s elemental stones (also known as [[Atlan Stones]]). The stones can be used to upgrade various weapons and armor:

* Minor and major stones can be used to upgrade [[Atlan Weapons]] and [[Isparian Weapons]].
* Major stones can be used to upgrade [[Shadow Armor]].
* Both the stones can also be given to an [[Agent of the Arcanum]] for a [[Writ of Refuge]] (you need 1 major stone or 2 minor stones for the writ).
* The minor stone is weaker than the major stone and therefore much easier to obtain.

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
=== The Major Stinging Stone ===
# The dungeon contains only [[Olthoi Swarm Soldier]]s. From the drop take the southern ramp down and hug the right wall all the way around until you get to a big open room.
# Take the North-East hallway and follow the path across some bridges until you come to a second big room. Take the North hallway again to a room with an large acid pit. Go around the wall until you are at the ledge of the pit looking at the corner of another ledge.
# If you jump is high enough you can leap across to the other side. Take the North-Eastern hall way and follow it all the way to the surface portal. Take the right and run across the big room to a hall with the {{Itemlink|Major Stinging Stone}} on the ground with some other gems and a book. Pick it up and recall.

=== The Minor Stinging Stone ===
# To get to the [[24.5S, 47.4E - Swamp Cave|cave]] quickly, start in [[Yanshi]] take the [[Swamp Temple Place]] Portal at 10.3S, 45.7E, from here it is a short run to the cave at 24.5S, 47.4E.
# Once there you will see [[Apozim]] elementals, kill them then run down into the cave and pick up the {{Itemlink|Minor Stinging Stone}}, you will also see a [[Textbook]] and a [[Soiled Parchment]] which you can take if you wish.
# Optionally, you can take the {{Itemlink|Textbook (Atlan's Treatise)}} and {{Itemlink|Soiled Parchment}} to Bretself the Translator in [[Cragstone]] for translation at 26.0N, 47.0E.
