The “Crystal Heart” quest, officially known as “Heartstrings,” is a secondary quest in RuneScape: Dragonwilds that involves locating seven memorial stones spread across the Fractured Plains. To complete it, players must interact with these stones in a specific eastward order, starting at a unique blue-leafed tree atop a hill in the Fractured Plains, and then sing a remembrance song at the final stone.
Quest Overview
The Heartstrings quest, released on April 15, 2025, is a secondary quest centered around an unnamed elf grieving their late human partner, Meya. The elf has left numerous memorial stones throughout the Fractured Plains, which players must find and interact with to progress the quest. The quest involves navigating a potentially dangerous area, so preparation for combat is recommended. The ultimate goal is to sing a bard’s song of remembrance at the final memorial stone, which completes the quest and grants significant rewards.
Starting the Quest
To begin the Heartstrings quest, you must first interact with a glowing blue memorial stone. This stone is located next to a distinctive large tree with blue leaves, situated on top of a hill in the Fractured Plains region. This specific tree is directly above the first Fractured Plains dungeon. Accessing this starting point requires casting the Windstep spell multiple times up the rocks to the right of the dungeon’s entrance. Upon interacting with this initial stone, a crystal seed will be added to your quest inventory, signaling the official start of the Heartstrings quest.
Recommended Preparations:
- Armour and Weapons: Good quality armour and weapons are recommended due to the presence of multiple garou enemies in the Fractured Plains.
- Antipoison Potions: These are advisable to counter potential poison effects from enemies in the area.
- Air Runes: Essential for casting the Windstep spell, which is required to reach the initial quest starting point.
Memorial Stone Locations
The Heartstrings quest requires players to find and interact with a total of seven memorial stones. These stones must be interacted with in a specific numerical order, from 1 to 7, and all are found in an eastward direction from the first. Each progression point in the quest is marked by one of these unique trees with an associated memorial stone. As you proceed eastward through the open areas of the Fractured Plains, be prepared for combat encounters with wolves and garou. Reaching the final tree and singing the song will conclude the quest.
The general direction of travel is eastward from the initial memorial stone. Each subsequent stone will be found next to another unique tree.

Rewards
