Not seen any information on this quest posted yet, and it's a great quest doable at lvl 18ish for a rare quality 15dps dagger. At the time that I did this, this dagger represented a massive upgrade for me.
Involved killing only 2 dot mobs so quite possibly soloable, although when I did it I duoed it with a warrior friend and would probably recommend getting some help, at least for the dungeon parts unless you have stealth skills maxed and are lvl 18+. The final reward is a choice between fairly nice weapons (dagger, bow, +healing staff and caster staff I believe, although disappointingly when I did this with my warrior friend he could only really use the bow - had been hoping for a sword or something similar.)
Posted below is info based on my recollection of doing this quest, anyone else who has done it feel free to add comments as my recollection of some parts might be a bit hazy.
Quest line starts from Guard Cronan, 3 rivers village. There are a number of quests in the line, I believe the first is obtainable from lvl 16 onwards. Was able to get these quests without being kos as a goblin.
First quest - kill Stonesmasher Gamehunters, easily found in the open south of 3 rivers.
Second quest - kill Stonesmasher Fishermen, easily found on the banks of the rive to the West of 3 rivers.
Third quest - kill Stonesmasher Gemrunners - rarish spawn, best place I found was just south of the main Stonesmasher encampment south of 3 rivers. They spawn in the encampment itself and then run both south and northish, so I hung out south of the gate to encampment and ganked em as they appeared
Fourth quest - kill Stonesmasher Gemseekers. Actually need to go into the Stonesmasher Enclave to find these, which is a 2 dot dungeon SE of 3 rivers. In the dungeon, head left at the entrance then take first left again, and you should find em.
Fifth quest - kill a named Chief in Stonesmasher Enclave. To find where he spawns, head left at the entrance to the dungeon, first left again, follow the passage down to a largish open area with some tent like structures at the far wall. Chief is a rare spawn under the far tent structure, spawns by a table. However, he is a rare spawn, 20 minute timer, has a normal Stonesmasher mob as a PH. Took me about 2 hours to get him to spawn, ranger friend of mine who had done this same quest earlier and told me about it said it had taken him 4 hours.
Mobs in the dungeon go up to lvl 18, so could be rough doing this solo unless you are lvl 18+ and have stealth maxed - in which case can probably sneak to the Chief spawn point and gank him or his PH solo without getting any adds. The fact he's a rare spawn has led a number of people to believe that this quest is broken, but as of last Sunday 4th Feb I can confirm it does work - completed it then as did my ranger friend.
That's about all I have for now, but figured I'd share as I found this a great way to get a nice dagger.
