Right-click the painting and select “NPC Location” to start a questline. Each Mysterious Painting has a different questline and each questline can only be completed once per family.
Currently only the Mysterious Painting #1 and #2 have questlines available. Questlines for the other paintings are coming in future patches
Mysterious Painting #1
This Painting has the description “A faded drawing of a sharp blue scale piece”.
The rewards for completing this questline are:
- Elixir of Regeneration x1

The questline starts in Velia at Artemio Fiazza, who can be found near Eileen (the General Goods Vendor). He then tells you to speak to the Artist in Calpheon.
After speaking to the Artist, you will need to hand over the mysterious painting and pick up the follow on quests from him. You will now have to go to speak to two Velian guards. One can be found in Port Epheria and the other is found in Velia (both on the beaches).
Once you are done, go back to the Artist in Calpheon to complete the quest and pick up the next quest from him. You will now have to go to Oquilla’s Eye and speak to Sherah Riki on the island.
Hand over the restored painting to Sherah Riki and then continue to follow the questline at Oquilla’s Eye. You will have to talk to the different tribesmen on the island and then to go around and interact with the Lopters.
Next, report back to Herrad Romsen and he will send you back to the Artist in Calpheon to complete the questline.
