Quest Tactics[]

This is up to you. People with long memories of when the Shrine was first introduced might wonder whether this belt has any special properties - poking around, I've found none (though I've only done a cursory check). Do remember that River Stones are both easier to get and more in demand to spend late in the Water Region, especially the Raina Expedition, so possibly avoid doing this quest until you've evaluated how that part of the game affects your choices here.

Lore[]

Motes just told me about my final task. I'll need to defeat him twice more, hand over 25 Desert Stones, and find 25 River Stones to give him. I told him that Shrine Tickers weren't going to be enough, and he nodded in agreement. My reward for all of this is going to be a Stone Belt of my own!
