Element of Fire  

 

Confirmed today that it still drops on the blazing elementals down in the false floor pit at: P 714.8170, 94.2316, 26.5193, 240, 0, 0, 3, Blazing_Elementals

We were in the City of Mist hunting Black Reavers for my Wife who needed a Jade Reaver, (a big battleaxe looking thing). I also had my Level 58 Mage in case the Mage quest item dropped. We ended up getting both the Jade Reaver and the Mage quest item, torch of the elements. For those non-mages the torch of the elements is one of the items required to get the Mage Epic 1.0. The torch of the elements is a rare drop and it is only dropped by a Iksar ghost who only spawns after you kill a black reaver from the highest tower in the City of Mist.

As part of the Mage Epic 1.0 quest you have to take the Torch of the elements, The Blazing wand, and the Burning embers, to a little gnome named Jennus. Jennus resides in Skyfire.

I enlisted the help of my Wife's ranger who tracked Jennus to where he was standing, INSIDE a wall of rock. I was able to target him and gave him the three items. To my horror, I did not get the element of fire. I hasty re-read of the turn in instructions as well as hailing Jennus again indicated I also had to give Jannus the Power of the Orb, which is a scroll looking thing. I had the Power of the Orb in my Bank but I was in Skyfire, What to do? The Wife's ranger kept hailing Jennus and I bound myself in the tunnel to Skyfire from the Overthere. Then I ran back to the POK book in the Overthere and went to Doogle Bank. (I am KOS in the Overthere due to killing Rottgrime as another part of the Epic 1.0 quest) Once I had the Power of the Orb I gated back to Skyfire and ran to Jennus. I was able to give him the Power of the Orb and get my Element of Fire item. In all this time Jennus was sitting INSIDE the wall of rock. Jennus did NOT have a pet with him, so sense summoned did not work to locate him.

FYI, you will NEED a tracker to find Jennus as he seems to have a liking for standing inside of solid objects.

The reason I made the mistake of not having the forth item on me was that all of the other Mage Epic 1.0 turn ins are 3 item turn ins. The element of fire is ths only 4 item turn in among the 4 elements, earth, fire, water and air. The Power of the Orb is a farily lengthy but not too hard sub quest. I had done it so long ago and put the result in my bank, that I had forgotten it was required for the element of fire turn in.
