The Empyreans were master craftsmen.  Unfortunately, even the most potent of these weapons have deteriorated from millennia of neglect.  One of these weapons is the Dagger of Tikola.  Even though it is nowhere near as potent as it used to be, its blade still burns brightly and has a higher base damage than practically any other dagger.

Step 1:  Raxanza Folthid.  The Dagger of Tikola is hidden deep within a cellar on the Folthid estate, located at 8.6S, 52.9E.  Lady Folthid has locked the door though!  If you give her a Wood Golem heart, she will ask you to recover a bottle of Old Nectar from the Cellars.  She'll also give you the key to the Cellar.  The resistance on the door her key opens is 2000, so you won't be able to bypass the key with lockpick skill.  There are several ways to get Wood Hearts without much difficulty.  You can kill the Golems that spawn in the Cellar before the locked door or you can do the first step of the Elysa's Favor quest (Coming Soon!).  Once you have your key, head into the Cellar.

Step 2:  The Cellar.  This dungeon is fairly straightforward, but there are a couple simple levers to solve.  Unless you are below level 20, you won't need to buff yourself for this quest.  From the drop, head north, open the locked door with your key, and head down.  You can save yourself some time by taking your first left and jumping down into the room below.  In the room where you've landed, you will find a lever door to the north and a path back up to the south.  Head south and you will head up a staircase and to a four-way intersection.  Head straight through (to the NE) and you will enter a small room with a lever in it.  Hit the lever and return the way you came, back to the lever door.  In the room just beyond the lever door is a chest where you can find the Old Nectar Lady Folthid is after.  The reward for the Nectar is really trivial, so you can ignore it, if you like.  Jump down into the next section.  Hop down again to the floor and you will find four exits, one in each cardinal direction.  Take the south path, ignore the path that merges in, and follow the path around back to the north.  You will head down a ramp and come to a four-way intersection.  Again, go straight through and you will find another ramp down.  The path will curl around, leading you to a big room in the east.  Pass through the doorway directly ahead of you into another narrow hall.  Take your first left and you will find the second lever.  Hit it and head south.  You will pass through another large room, where you will take the south exit again.  Now look for a door on the right that should be open.  Pass through and you will see two levers.  One opens/closes the door you just passed through and the other is the lever you are looking for.  Make sure you hit the right one (you won't be able to leave if you hit the wrong one!) and take a right.  Follow the hall down a ramp into another larger room.  Run straight ahead through the lever door you just opened.  Jump down and you will be in the final rooms of the cellar.  You will see a couple Sclavi and a chest.  Loot the Aste Sclavus and check his corpse.  Pick up the key and the Dagger of Tikola.  You can check out the chest too, but be careful - inside is a Dull Dagger that is cursed!  Once you have your Dagger, use the key on the door to the east and take the exit back to the surface.  You can give Lady Folthid the Nectar for a mere 500 pyreals if you took the time to recover it for her.
