Spotted ! Strange object in Eastern Deadlands
As a reminder, here's the preliminary report (http://www.istaria.com/tell-me-about...f-istaria.html):

Imperial Scout's Report, June 33 A.R…
Something strange sighted deep in the Eastern Deadlands; an object lay in the middle of a canyon surrounded by numerous grotesque, twisted trees and the minions of the Withered Aegis. Due to the distance, my fear of discovery and the swirling maelstrom overhead, I could not discern many details. I did not recognize the creatures, but they appeared to be undead as they walked with a strange gait. Nor could I make out the nature of the object itself, except that it was as black as night and was nearly as large as those who stood near it … One thing, however, was clear and that was that they were protecting it. It is certainly worthy of further investigation, though I advise extreme caution.
Here it is : The Almighty Cauldron

Warning ! Don't get too close from it, as it has a damaging aura and is invincible (coords : 31000/24700).
Re: Spotted ! Strange object in Eastern Deadlands
someone misspelled Misty Aura on cursed misty health potion form. wrong spelling of Effect: Misty Arua
Potions use a ton of ingredients for just 1 potion each.
now how do you kill a risen skeleton that can't be damaged?

I can't be the only one that figured that out can I? :P
Re: Spotted ! Strange object in Eastern Deadlands
I already have a bunch of the ingredients now, so I guess not. though there should still be some other part of the quest that gives an ability to kill them. no?

No? You can quite easily kill them as-is, you just need to be willing to take a risk/kill yourself a little.

This doesn't mean it's the only way, or the right way. In any other circumstance this would be considered a bug. So if a dev could enlighten us with a real answer? Is this by design? Appreciated

There is indeed just one way of fighting the risen skeletons, this is by design.
Re: Spotted ! Strange object in Eastern Deadlands
Once you have the "Dying" effect on you, that does life damage in a never ending dot, you can damage the skeletons. The Cauldron is not meant to be killed. If your health gets low, you can run out of range, the dot will drop off, and you can heal up and then go back in for more.
After an hour of hunting the skeletons, I had enough mats to make 2 each of 3 of the potions, and 3 of the last potion. It's kinda slow going.

I made 5 cauldron, 6 curse str, 6 cursed health and , 8 cursed misty health aura so far. I know the Cauldron is an NPC
