what about halfling pallys? are we left out or what?
Just got this last night....
Used my Druid to keep checking for the Corrupted in WL and a full group had no issues in Hate.
Plus the Proc effect looks great!

Can anyone tell me how to get there?
Go to the Wakening Lands where you got the three corrupted skins. In the middle of the zone there is a tower like structure in the middle of a small lake. Go to the top and there is an ancient tree. Click on it to get into POG. Finished my ND quest last night.
In the middle of the Wakening Lands zone is a lake, and in the middle of the lake is an island with a tower. Run up to the top of the tower and click on whatever is at the top (It's been a long time, I think it is some sort of stone, but you can't miss it).
And btw if you're taking a paladin you will need a port or a gate potion to get out again.

Just Solo'd all mobs for this quest for a friend. he's 52 just sat and watched. Real nice pally weap for the difficulty to attain, i would recomend this quest to all tunare pallies.
Some of the mobs summon so if you don have decent regen i wouldnt recomend trying to bow kite.
65 Ranger Kane Bayle 6240 hp buffed.

Considering the difficulty to attain this is So much easier then the FD, remembering the Ghoulbane, soulfire and avenger were all part of it.
This sword is great, yes we all know there are better out there but any Tunare pally would be foolish to let this sword slip, especially at later levels when your supposed to take it rather then simply dish it out. A weapon with the AC of a BP can't be bad.
A good group or even mini raid can do this quest easy, although a tracker would be advisable.
Great sword for the planes where the WMBS is useless if MT, the ripostes coming back at you are just not worth it.
However I have a dwarf pally on Xegony and would like to know if there is a sword for a Brell follower that is as easy to attain as this. Any input would be mostly appreciated.

When I first came back to EverQuest after the epics came out, I was so angry about the paladin epic being a 2h slash and being, quite honestly, not that great a weapon.
When I found out I could use this weapon, I was elated! Same proc as Fiery Defender, decent damage/delay, and the armor class!
Now, I have this weapon, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! For any paladin who is tunarian in faith, DON'T waste time on epic. This is a much easier quest and a much better weapon, and the only requirement is to not kill anything on Tunare faction until you hit 55.
The corruted panther and faun in Wakening Lands can easily be killed by a mid 50's/low 60's group, the corrupted unicorn will require at least a low 60's group and the Corrupter of Life requires about the same as the corrupted unicorn. All drops always drop and the quest giver in Plane of Growth is usually up. Since you're Tunare faction, nothing will kill you in Plane of Growth, just make sure you have a porter or a gate potion with you when you go in.
All in all, this quest can be done in, if you're lucky, a few hours (if all the mobs are up) or, at worst, shouldn't take more than a week.
Great weapon, well worth it! (And it looks cool, too!)

Down below is a link , posted by Kalliun showing a pic of this weapon. If i am correct , and i am 99% sure i am , that picture is of myself, on the tribunal server, taken shorty after i recieved my Natures Defender . I must admit, it is one of the best looking weapons in the game and i am proud to own one. However, much like the Fiery Defender, as nice as this weapon is in my ******** there are jus too many other choices out there that have caused me to shelv the ND in favor of Narandi's Lance, Windblade, and SHadowflame. These are lower end in comparison to weapons available with avatar proc, weapons from high end planes zones, and now GoD and even Ldon weapons. But that's not the point, as there is always something better out there to obtain. The fact is, for the amount of effort that went into getting this weapon, and the amount of time i did use it for , it was more than worth it and i highly recommend this to High elf /Half elf follower of tunare paladins.

Just to mention again here up top...
The second lovely bit about this weapon's 45AC is that it determines the amount of damage you do just like a shield Bash... when you spend the AA points to buy 2HandBash (which we all should do someday).
Happy Hunting!

I think you are wrong there Tierman. Yes, ND requires less mind numbingly boring camps, but PoH isnt a walk in the park.
And whether it is easier or not, doesnt mean you are lazy if you get it instead of FD, just means you would prefer it thats all-in my opinion ND is MUCH better than FD so i would be insane to waste my time questing for an inferior blade. Sure its ratio is worse than FDs, but then both ND and FD are poor ratio weapons by todays standards, so why would you ever use them? Well, the 45 AC from ND is why i would use it, i would never use FD because other than proc it has nothing special about it.
Im a high elf and glad to have ND, people complain about it being high and half elf only-but considering our stats much worse than other pally races i count it as a consilation prize. Course, the reason i picked high elf was simply vanity, no other reason, stats were bad but we look damn good, in fact, we look the best, and the main reason i got ND? same reason, it looks great and because of its AC it is worth using, whereas FD looks good but not good enough a weapon to use. Just too bad ND doesnt give 10 sta instead of wisdom :/

Don't know if anyone has noticed, but it says tunare right next to where it says nodrop. Is that a typo? If its diety restricted it should be mentioned right under race/class. Not right next to where it says nodrop, lol.

Ok, dumb question for the day. Minimum level reported is 55, does that mean that only a 55 can do the turn in and receive the sword, does it mean that the npc will "eat" the items if you turn them in and are lower than 55, or does it mean that he just want even give you the quest if you are lower than 55. Clarification would be helpful, thanks!

YES you need to be 55 so dont turn it in. Just get in a group and level for a few days :) or turn in the piece from hate and i'll turn in the other pieces after you LOL

If you MQ this, both toons need to be 55 or higher and both must worship Tunare, or your hard earned pieces will go poof.
I don't think that you have to worship Tunare to complete this quest. As an agnostic enchanter, I completed the Helm of the Tracker quest. (On Firiona Vie server, it isn't no drop)
So I don't think that both characters would have to worship Tunare for the MQ. Only the second one (since it'll wind up on him.)

I hereby confirm that it is not necessary to worship Tunare to complete this quest. I completed it as an agnostic enchanter (used high elf illusion just in case). So you should be able to MQ it so long as you're amiable to the quest giver.

Got the 4th and final piece in PoH raid on saturday!! Have had all 3 skins sitting in the bank for a couple months now.
Unfortunately for me, I still need to ding 4 time before I can do turn in :(

Saw this quest and didn't start it until we got the piece from Hate off the Corrupter, since that is the hardest part.
Once we got him, the next day I grabbed a group of guildies (12 I believe, from 60 to 43) and we roamed WL looking for the three corrupted, who were all up. The Panther and Faun were fairly easy, could have been a single group of 55 to kill them. Alot of hp. The unicorn constantly kept me feared and blinded, with 130MR. The rest of the raid really dealt the dmg to the unicorn. It was a short fight once the Unicorn was slowed.
Don't fight mobs in WL if you can help it, or you may take a faction hit with Tunare. I took a single faction hit and was still able to do the quest.
I am now the proud owner of the Natures Defender. The ratio is slightly worse than the Argent Protector, and it's not procing much with 112dex, but the 45AC jumps me from 1138 to 1193ac, and if you're MT, that's worth it :)

Grats Bilbos on your alt epic. The resists aren't too shabby either. It is a good idea grab that piece in PoH first, makes the whole quest seem better (easier, faster). Also helps to have a good guild that is willing to back you up.

Im a 51 SK and one of my friends have this sword. I thought it was beautiful, wonder if SK's have a alternative sword like this i can get cause i use a windblade atm, and have no desire for my epic (maybe for the look)
I just wanted to make a suggestion, to some of the post's ive read, In the beginning, its all about strength, in the end its all about Stamina!!! It the easiest thing to get 200+str, i am currently busting my butt to raise my stamina. I had well over 200 str and now since all the armor changes am down to 191. But raised my stamina to almost 160. AFter that.....resist gear.....there is no END!!(my resists suck btw) Maybe for some odd reason or divine intervention i put some of my starting points in INT. who knew ..i probably didnt even know what i was doin...
Anyway Pally's and SK's make the best Duo's
One is Defense inclined the other offense inclined..put them together and BaM!! The best team.

Just fyi dizo and others that don't know, we do have an alt epic. It's called the greenmist https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=7029
Too bad rangers can't wield this. There are plenty of Tunare following rangers that would love something like this. Ah well, maybe in a future patch.
If you were me and I were you, would we still be friends?

I got my ND today (12/02/02) on the Luclin server. Thanks to all those who helped in Dragons of Lore and Jade Dynasty. I have information on all 4 mobs and locs for turn in on the quest page (see link top right) if anyone is looking for more info. Good luck Tunare paladins! It hits from 100 to about 200 regularly. The 150dd proc will also stack with nife's undead procs.

I'm tired of hearing everybody whine/***** about ND. I am a high Elf Paladin that worships Tunare and I qualify for a ND, but never once did I consider ND instead of my epic.
I don't belong to an Uber guild, so I camped Naggy Vox for over a year until I got my books--period. Just last night I got the final piece that I needed for the final turn in (keeper in the hole)
and I will be an Epic Tunare Worshiping Paladin soon.
IMO: ND= Lazy Man's Epic!
You want your epic then go and get it!

Oh, and the YEAR you spent camping Naggy etc was worth it? Oh wait, you STILL didnt have it did you :P
Nature's Defender is a nice weapon granted to you by the grace of your god. Blowing 12 months on a hopelessly outdated weapon is your call but dont rubbish the people who took the alternative.

Hmm interesting...I'm a warrior but I have a 45 Pally also. And I'll tell ya I would much rather have the ND over the FD for one reason....AC!
Yes the FD has a faster dmg/dly ratio than the ND. But the ND adds the AC of an Uber breastplate. And even though the ration is better on the FD its not that much better than the ND 35/40 vs 38/46 both with the same proc.
I have a 58 Pally friend that says it adds additional 80ac when equiped. Now I'm not sure about you Tiern..but when I'm on with my Pally I very often find myself tanking or even MT'in and in a situation like that you have to hold agro holding agro means your the one getting your asskicked...which in turn means your the one that needs more ac. Plus with all the weapons out there that Blow the ND and FD out of the water..why would you want to waste your time on somthing that as soon as you can get to Sleepers or SSRA or PoP will be a bank item anyway I dont know. Just my 2cp

Thought some of you that might be wondering if this item still exists...
... I can confirm that it does!!
I just received this today after chasing it for over a year.
It looks truely awesome, procs for 150DD, hit for over 200 ! unfortunately you cannot bash with it like the true epic swords, which was a bit dissapointing.

You can if you use AA points. You can bash with all 2h weapons if you put AA points into one of them, can't remember the name though, sorry.
