Editing Stone Tear

The '''Stone Tear''' is an [[Evolving items|evolving item]] that you first receive by completing [http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=5481 The First Pilgrimage] quest in the [[Pillars of Alra]].  This is the same quest that gives Druids and Wizards their port spells to the zone.

The Tear is an item that fits in your Face, Ammo, or Charm slot and grants you a bonus to you Defense skill.  It has 20 levels to evolve and when it reaches level 20, you can convert it into a [[Type 3 augmentations|Type 3 augmentation]], with additional bonuses.  It must be equipped to gain experience to evolve, and to grant you the bonus(es).

The Tear evolves by killing Alaran and Undead Alaran [[NPCs]] in ''[[Veil of Alaris]]'' and ''[[Rain of Fear]]'' zones.

In addition, five Pillars of Alra shared tasks can reward each party member with a [http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=100964 Fragment of Legendary Alaran History], clicking it will add experience to your Tear.  With the July 2013 patch, the same NPCs mentioned above also have a small chance of dropping a Fragment.
