This understandably makes the quest for the ore all the more urgent. However, you only have a chance to get it after a certain point:

• Shadow Candle Ore can only be obtained from hardened Dragon Elders (at Master rank).
• Investigations are best for this, but they must also be available first.
• The chance of shadow core ore per investigation is quite low; you will probably need several attempts to get an ore.
• With good luck, however, several ores at once are possible.

How many ores you need, consequently, depends on how many talismans you want to upgrade maximum. Immerhin: Durch die Untersuchungen steigen Sie stark im Meisterrang, außerdem erhalten Sie andere wichtige Materialien und Dekorationen.
