Reward:
- 10x Caphras Stones
Goal Tips:
Your destination is an object called, “Caphras Memory”
It is located along the pathway inside the Kamsylve tree in Grana city.
It will be invisible and you will have to walk upon it for it to show, unless you have a quest item on you to make it light up. (Caphras’ Journal from the O’dyllita main quest line called “[O’dyllita] Caphras’ Journal“)

Caphras’ Log: Book 2.3 | Rising Black Sun
Requirement:

Reward:

Goal Tips:
- Purchase a Trade item called “Eastern Culture” from the <Trade Manager> of Altinova. Deliver it to the Trade Manager of Valencia City. No Trade skill required. You can NOT transport it via the <Storage Keeper> because it expires in 24 hours. I recommend placing it in the inventory of your horse, or it will severly limit your movement. On your horse, trade items will disable the Sprint skill, but it’s still a decent speed. Or you can use a nice trade wagon. Great Desert travel is quicker with a camel or Dine.

lost my caphra journal, any way to get it back?
Hello 🙂 I’ve heard that you can reobtain a deleted Caphras Journal by talking to Black Spirit. Let us know if this works for you!
Can confirm this works.
I can’t get the caphras journal back from the black spirit unfortunately. I don’t have the option to talk to the black spirit. I also went back to Opencilla and I couldn’t get it there either. Any ideas?
Hello! 🙂 Sorry you are having trouble. Are you certain you deleted it? Do you know how to do an account wide search? That would find it quickly if you have it on an alt. Have you double checked that you completed the correct quest and obtained it? https://bdocodex.com/us/quest/8001/2/ Check every single quest and chat option with Black Spirit (,). Sorry, just throwing out any idea I can think of. Last, but not least, maybe support can help. 🙂
Don’t forget to accept the bonus from chapter 1.3 or you can’t get a new journal from Black Spirit.
How can i get it from black spirit?
Can you have one Caphras Tome per ALT or do you just have one Tome for the whole family?
Where is the Ahib guarding the Altar of Blood?
I had the same issue, you have to go to mountain of sanctity, and near the door to the altar of blood theres a ahib npc, its kinda not easy to explain where it is but maybe somebody can link to it
She’s up on the mountain overlooking Star’s End. There are maybe a few discernable structures on the world map in this region.
On the world map, near star’s end, the built structures on the lower right is where this NPC is. O’arma. South of the river.
Hello 🙂 Thanks for the tip!
where can i exchance the Caphras – Journal of Light and Shadow, id gone to the NPC and he doesnt have a mission to exchange it, is there a trick to it or amity?
Hello 🙂 Congratulations on getting so far! You probably need the quest “Caphras: The Life of Light and Shadow” from Black Spirit. Either that or the one after it from Alustin in Velia. I edited the steps a bit in this guide to make the instructions more specific. Have fun with your new Caphras Tome!
4.6: npc name is “O’Arma”
Thanks, I updated the guide!
