Swiftwind  

 

Does the haste effect count as worn or as spell haste?

I just got this bad boy and sold my wepons that I was using before(Sword of the Bloodsworn and Blackened Acrylia Blade) and bought an Ornate Stone Battle Hammer. Talk about great dps.I ened up having to buy the Jade reaver and MQ the Swirling Sphere of Color but well worth it for the 40% haste and +30 atk.

I m a lvl 46 Ranger on Bristlebane server and my name is suilen and i think this is the Epic and i want to know who i talk to to start the epic quest

Aredhiel, your in LoS if im correct and they raid PoSky everyone once in awhile. I used to be guilded with them and I got the piece on one of the sky raids. They may not do it anymore, but you may be able to tag along to another guild's raid there.

Got me Soulbound Hammer toinight off Jael, just need Swirling Sphere of Color now to get me Swifty ;) I however dont have the means to acquire one myself, nor do i know anyone with one or any ugilds that have been raiding PoS lately. On BRISTLEBANE, if you have one or know someone who does, or a guild that's been raiding PoS lately, PLEASE leave a post here or send me a tell in the game, thanks much <bow&wink>

betta sword out there for ranger than this.....

What lvl do u need to be to do Swiftwind epic. Or what lvl should u be?

I was wondering if this effect stacks with haste? I know you can have 1 haste item, 1 haste spell, and 1 haste song. Is this consedered a haste item?

Well LDoN is out now so I was curious, any epic Rangers out there who can fill me in on how the swords have changed. In other words how many slots are available and what type are they?

Ummm by the way, SwiftWind is Secondary slot Only. Description above says Primary and Secondary.

which is easier to get swiftwind or earthcall and can just a lvl 57 get the stuff for it or kill all the stuff

What is the lowest level possible to do the final turn in to Faelin BloodBirar? If there is a part you need to be a higher level that that on then please tell me which part and what level =P

Thanks

Has anyone ever mq ed the Swirling sphere part of the quest if so any tricks to it?

how hard is this quest

Double Post ...><

Edited, Sun Nov 3 03:41:12 2002

im lvl 46 atm and am pretty close to being done, do i have to be a certain lvl before i can get the epic?

if ur guild is strong enough to help you get this weapon they are probably strong enough to kill inny. i know my guild is. everyime we go to hate and he is up we kill him. heck last time we were there we got 3 emeralds.(i was the fourth ranger there=( but over all not that hard to get the emerald.)so i dont think ur combo will last that long i would just suggest that u use one of the weapons u had before swiftwind. normally its not that long of a wait to get earthcaller

Telin Darkforest in Burning Woods, Kunark

Telin Darkforest can be found near the zone to Skyfire Mountains. The easiest way to find him is to head to the North East part of the zone, towards Skyfire, and you should eventually pick him up on tracking.

You say, 'hail Telin Darkforest'
Telin Darkforest looks at you serenely. 'Hello, wanderer.'
You say, 'what are you doing in this forest'
Telin Darkforest says 'Mighty this place must have been, once. Now scarred by hatred and suffering. I have been sent here seeking answers to problems not yet understood.
You say, 'what answers'
Telin Darkforest considers you for a few moments before speaking. 'A great evil walks across the land. The hand of some demon we don't yet know is twisting and polluting forests.'
You say, 'what evil'
Telin Darkforest says 'If I knew that, I wouldnt be here looking for answers. I would be elsewhere, looking for solutions. For now, I suspect much but know little.
You say, 'what do you suspect'
Telin Darkforest looks at you and sighs. 'The lands are changing. Beasts, large and small, have turned upon those who watched over them. Druids and rangers, worshippers of both Karana and Tunare, have reported a feeling of hatred throughout their once peaceful lands.'
You say, 'perhaps it is Innoruuk'
Telin Darkforest raises his eyebrow slightly and a subtle look of surprise creeps across his face. 'Innoruuk? Perhaps. Aye. It must be. Perhaps I knew and didn't want to consider the possibility. It must be this though, and some action will have to be taken.'
You say, 'what action should I take'
Telin Darkforest looks at you consideringly and then scribbles something quickly on a small, worn paper. 'You seem powerful enough. Perhaps you can help those who seek to protect nature's peace. Take this note. Deliver it only into the hands of Faelin Bloodbriar. Where you will find her, I cannot say. She is a friend of mine and a wanderer. She has been seen from one end of the lands to the other. Seek her out, and quickly.'

Telin Darkforest gives you a "Worn Note" to take to Faelin Bloodbriar.

Faelin Bloodbriar in Greater Faydark, Faydark

Faelin Bloodbriar spawns at POS 1500, POS 500 in Greater Faydark. Her placeholder is an orc pawn. Faelin is a rare spawn. Just hang around this area and kill all orc pawns you see around the area. Once you see either Faelin or an orc pawn spawn, you can procede to camp just that spot and not worry about additional orcs.

Give Telin&#8217;s note to Faelin
Faelin Bloodbriar reads the note carefully and growls to herself. 'Bad news, eh? Take this ring. There is one elf, dark elf even, who we must go to in order to gather insight into Innoruuk's plans. Giz X'Tin, he goes by most commonly. Kithicor seems to be his favorite haunt and most likely you will find him there. Don't ask how I know him. Just take the ring as my sign to him and he will speak to you. We don't need to speak again, so dont seek me out, just goto Telin. I must leave to investigate these events.'

Giz X`Tin in Kithicor Forest, Antonica

Giz X'Tin is a wandering spawn that has been mostly seen towards the north end of the zone. He said to spawn around POS 1000, POS 1500. It is known that he does wander the zone. I have seen hin on track durning the day and night time. The easiest way that I have found to find him is to run along the way between West Commons and Rivervale. If he is up, you will most likely pick him up on tracking. Most likely your faction with Giz X'Tin will not be high enough, cast Spirit of Wolf on yourself, run up behind him and sneak before you give him Faelin's Ring.

Give Faelin&#8217;s Ring to Giz X'Tin
Giz X`Tin flips you a coin after he recognizes the ring. 'It seems we have a mutual 'acquaintance.' The coin repays an old debt. You don't have to worry about what that is. Luckily, Lord Innoruuk has informed me of your coming and your desires. Fortunately, I have all the answers you require right here at the end of my friend's blade. I think I'll be paying my old 'friend' a visit.'
Teir`Dal Reaver says 'Lord Innoruuk, I have failed you. Forgive me and spare me from service to your undead minions in the world!

Giz X'Tin gives you a "Dark Metal Coin" to take to Telin Darkforest.

Telin Darkforest in Burning Woods, Kunark

Give coin to Telin
Telin Darkforest scratches the coin as he looks at it. 'Faelin sent you to Giz? Surprising. This coin speaks to the outcome of your talk. He would hardly give this bit of metal to a stranger, but that's a story for a different time. So, you say Giz did confirm Innoruuk's involvement, and something about undead minions? Here, take this coin back. Find Arch Druid Althele in the Karanas and show her that. Tell her what we have discussed. She will look kindly on an ally in this matter.'

Althele in East Karana, Antonica

NOTE: Do not procede with this part until you are ready to deal with the Dark Elf Corruptor and two Dark Elf Reavers that will spawn. If you fail to kill the Dark Elf Corruptor you will have to the start quest over from the beginning.

Althele can be found close to the Barbarian Village around NEG 3650, NEG 1600. Tholris and Fang should also be there with her. If you see any of the other druids with her, do not give her the coin right away. First check to see if someone is currently in the process of doing this part of the quest. If this is the case, just wait for them to finish up. Althele, Tholris and Fang all respawn thirty minutes after all the druids have been despawned. The other possibility, is that someone had tried to do this part of the quest, failed and the spawn is messed up. If this is the case, you may have to wait for the server till after the server goes down again to be able to the quest.

You say, 'hail Althele'
Althele says 'Hello, friend. Beautiful is what I would call such a day normally but lately?
Give Coin to Althele
Althele looks at the coin and nods gravely at you as she slips it into a fold of her clothing. 'I see. The story of this coin speaks much to me as do the words you have given me. Telin sent word that you would arrive. The tidings you bring are ill indeed. Here, take this amulet and find Sionae. She is nearby. We will speak more on this matter when all are present.'

You say, 'why do you need him as your hands and fang as your eyes?'
Althele says 'Yes. I cannot see any longer, my sight long since lost in the march of years. By the blessings of Tunare and Karana, though, I still make myself useful.

Sionae spawns after you get the Braided Grass Amulet and can be found around NEG 2300, NEG 930.

Give amulet to Sionae
Sionae says 'I see that the time has come. Take the amulet and give it to the third of our kin, Nuien. I will meet you at the gathering.

You need to move quickly to Nuien. People who are Kill on Sight to druids may walk past him because of where he spawns. If this happens, Nuien will argo on that person. I do not know if he will argo on any hostile mobs in the area, but it is best to move quickly and not take that chance. If Nuien is killed, the spawn will be messed up and you will have to start all over. Even if Nuien argos on someone, you can still give him the Frayed Braided Grass Amulet. He will then start walking to the gathering place and Teloa will spawn.

Give amulet to Nuien
Nuien says 'So be it. Do as you have done before and find the next. Teloa is the last.

Nuien gives the "Frayed Braided Grass Amulet" back to you, and Teloa spawns near the waterfall around NEG 3800, NEG 2860.

Give amulet to Teloa
Teloa begins walking toward the gathering spot. 'Follow me to the gathering now.'

Follow Teloa back to where Althele is, which is where the druids are gathering. You will not have the amulet at this point as she does not return it to you.

Althele says 'Great mother of life and father of sky, growth and spirit, Tunare and Karana. Innoruuk once again schemes and we have failed in our duties to protect our land. We give our powers in sacrifice for your help. Heed our call and send us your wisdom.
Althele snaps her head towards you. 'Innoruuk's brood is upon us. Go, find the spawn of hatred before they reach this point and destroy them!'

Dark Elf Corruptor and several Dark Reavers spawn, level supposed to be 50ish. Only the Corruptor is said to have to be killed. It is recommended that you root him, so he does not despawn on you. Additionally, it has been mentioned that he cannot be pulled, so you have to rush in and attack him.

Dark Elf Corruptor shouts 'We come for you, fools. Your reign of weakness over the powers of the land comes to an end now!

The easist way to do this is to have two group of people waiting on the hill. The first group will attack the Dark Elf Corruptor immediately. The second group will kite the Dark Elf Reavers to keep them distracted until the Corruptor has been killed. Even though you will miss most [or all] of the fighting, you should be one of the people in the group killing the Corruptor just so that you will be able to loot his corpse right away and get the "Fleshbound Tomb."
Once the Dark Elf Corruptor is killed, the group killing the Corruptor will take out the reavers. Even though some advocate killing the corruptor and letting the reavers get the druids. I don't recommend this for several reasons. First off, it is not within the theme of the quest to let the druids get killed. Secondly, it is more time productive to kill the reavers also then turn in the Felshbound Tomb to Althele right away.

The path you are guided upon will be difficult, if not impossible, but someone must finish it. Please, take this, read of it, follow its instructions.

Ella Foodcrafter in Misty Thicket, Antonica

Go to Misty Thicket and wait near the guards that are close to the zone to Rivervale. Ella Foodcrafter will run all over the zone. The wait usually isn't long, so it is easier to wait for her to come to the guards. She doesn't stay in one place for long, so you may want to bring along a friend to constantly hail until you give her the Earth Stained Note.

Ella Foodcrafter says 'Hi, hi. I've got a lot to do, many mouths to feed, some filthy goblins to smack. If you don't need me for something, please let me go back to my work. Karana watch over you.'

Aye, ya have that look in your eye. Our task is to focus the blessings of the gods and cleanse the filth from the land. I'll need two things from ya.

When restored to completeness I've heard its healing powers will be extraodrinary. Take it now.I will take the bowl and hopefully do some good from my end. From here, you can go many ways but I can't guide your path step by step. The only advise I can give you is to look for ones such as yourself.'

Foloal Stormforest in Firiona Vie, Kunark

You say, 'are you one such as myself?'
Foloal Stormforest stares at you and whispers. 'You must be the one that has been spoken of. Yes, yes I am one of the circle. There are many of us in the lands right now, all seeking answers to the ills that have befallen our homes.'
You say, 'what answers?'
Foloal Stormforest says 'I have heard whispers of new Iksar movements in the land. The name of Venril Sathir is on the scaled lips and sharp tongues of every cold blooded lizard in this place.'
You say, 'what about venril sathir?'
Foloal Stormforest says 'All I've heard are whispers of connections between the undead lizards and the dark god of hate. There's some kind of history behind the two. It might be that Venril is the main focus of Innoruuk's will in the land. Then again, maybe not, but this is the best we've gotten so far. If you think you can do it, then find him and remove him from the face of this earth. Bring me the half of the stone I know you have and whatever conduit of power you find on his rotting corpse.

Venril Sathir in Karnor's Castle, Kunark

If the normal spawned version of Venril Sathir is up, he must be killed. This causes Venril Sathirs remains to spawn.

Venril Sathirs remains says 'The living fire. I seek the fires of life. Bring them.

Use the spell Dance of the Fireflies to summon a Firefly Globe. Give Venril Sathirs remains the Firefly Globe, which causes the Spirit of Venril Sathir to spawn.

Venril Sathirs remains grasps the glowing sphere of fireflies from your hands. Tendrils of mystical energy begin to flow forth from the swarm of glowing insects like tiny fingers. The glowing tendrils begin to reach into the ribcage of the rotting remains of Venril Sathir, coalescing into the form of an iksar ghost.

You say, 'hail Spirit of Venril Sathir'
Spirit of Venril Sathir says 'So mortals, you seek to end the tainting of Tunare's children? So be it, I have no cares. My death has been caused by this foolishness and I want no more to do with it. Bring me a scroll with the knowledge of resurrection so that I may once again live. I will hand you that which you seek.

Give the Spirit of Venril Sathir the Level 49 Cleric Ressurection spell.

Spirit of Venril Sathir says 'I am alive! My thanks to you. And now I will aid you in your quest for preserving the forests of norrath. Your carcass will help nurture the soils of the wilderness.

Venril Sathir respawns. Kill Venril Sathir to get the "Pusling Green Stone," which identifies as Pulsing with a sickly light. This version of Venril Sathir should be easier to kill as I have been told that he does not Lifetap. He will drop two Pusling Green Stones and nothing else.

The sword you hold in your hands is one of the oldest blades known, even to the eldest. To strike at the darkest heart of evil requires a weapon beyond this, or even ones you may carry at your side.

Kinlo Strongarm in Kaladim [B], Faydark

Kinlo Strongarm is located in Kaladim [B] in Everhot's Forge, bottom floor. This part is completely optional. It is here just for completeness as it adds to the story of the quest.

You say, 'what ancient'
Kinlo Strongarm says 'The ancient smiths, for what I think yer askin about, ain't been around fer a long time, laddy. Last anyone heard o' the ancients was 'fore my time even. There be more than a few tales about 'em.
You say, 'what few tales'
Kinlo Strongarm says 'There be some who talk about how the ancient smiths went down to work fer the duke o' below, sayin he be needin some fine dwarven smiths fer makin some castle or some such. There be tales that the ancients were so good at smithin that the duke took 'em down and made 'em head smiths over his minions. There's even tales that some o the smiths' souls were trapped in their hammers, stuck there by some necromancer or somethin, as punishment or retribution.
You say, 'what hammer hammers?'
Kinlo Strongarm says 'Aye. Some says their souls were bound into their hammers by an Erudite necromancer and enchanter. They say they used the power of the hammers ta profit by makin ships, boats, and houses better than any other merchants. Sad tale, if'n it be true.
You say, 'what Erudite necromancer?'
Kinlo Strongarm says 'I'm not knowin more about the story, lad. Everythin I know is already in what I said. Aye, Erudites. I suppose if yer wantin ta run after shortbeard tales ya can look over on that plague island they call Odus.

Jaeil the Wretched in The Hole, Odus

Jaeil the Wretched can be found in The Hole. I do not have a location for him because I have not heard of anyone having difficulties finding him. He does not despawn and should always be there. Like Venril Sathir, this will require a guild raid to complete. If you can deal with Venril Sathir, you can deal with Jaeil. This will be a triggered spawn, and you will need to be prepared to fight him.

Jaeil the Wretched whimpers pathetically as his reflection catches his eye. He turns and stares pitifully at the ceiling.

Jaeil the Wretched shields his eyes from his reflection in the water, occasionally gibbering as he scratches at a flapping, rotted patch of skin on his sunken face. In his arms he cradles something. He seems to emanate an aura of power.

Stand behind Jaeil the Wretched to make him indifferent to you, then give him the Shiny Tin Bowl so that he will see his reflection.

Jaeil the Wretched howls in anger, his body seeming to suck energy from the walls around him as he sees his reflection. He pulls a hammer from the bundle in his arms and swings fiercely at your head.

Jaeil the Insane spawns and attacks. Kill Jaeil the Insane and loot the "Soulbound Hammer," which identifies as Hammer of an ancient dwarf. Jaeil the Wretched will still be there; just ignore him as he is not part of the fight. You only need to fight Jaeil the Insane.

If for any reason your entire raiding party dies at Jaeil the Insane or on the way there, the easiest way to recover is by having some people make Halfling Rogues that worship Brell Serilis, then have a Druid port to Misty Thicket to pick them up and port them to Toxxulia Forest, cast Spirt of the Wolf, then run to the Hole. Additionally, you can bind in the Paineel area, near the lake outside The Hole. If you duck, you should be able to fit through the crack in the door. Mobs in The Hole will look at these characters dubiously, but will not argo. You will want at least two - one to drag corpses from past the drop down point to the ledge and a second to drag corpses from the ledge to near the entrance area.

Kinlo Strongarm in Kaladim [B], Faydark

Give the Soulbound Hammer to Kinlo Strongarm. [Note: This part is optional. It is here to give you a clue as to what eventually needs to be done with the hammer.]

Kinlo Strongarm examines the hammer respectfully, admiring its craftsmanship. He strikes it against his anvil and winces as a howl fills the air. 'This is one of the ancients' hammers? I can almost, well, almost hear it callin ta me. It's strong, that's fer sure, lad. I don't know how ye got it, but aye, a dwarf could make a mighty blade with this. It's lookin like this thing still has its owner inside it though. I'm not knowin how, and not wantin to know, but fer yer own good ye better find some way ta get 'im out.'

Mairee Silentone makes a few marks on the hammer, and all the while you can hear a muffled cursing coming from the hammer head. 'Yes, it is an ancient dwarf's hammer. Interesting artifact. I've marked it to keep it stable while you retrieve something for me. You need to travel to the Plane of Air and find a swirling sphere of color. Bring it and the hammer back to me.'

Plane of Air

The Swirling Sphere of Color drops on either Island 4 or 5 [depending on if you count Djorn's Island.] To get to Island 5, you must do all the previous islands in order. Since Island 2 [Djorn] may be skipped, it is not always counted. The Islands are:

Fairy
Djorn
Azarack
Gorgalisk
Pegasus & Griffons
Spiroc
Bazzazzt
Sister of Spire
Eye of Veeshan

The way the mobs work on this island is that you will first see Level 52 mobs. When these are killed, they split int two new mobs that are Level 54. When the Level 54 mobs are killed, they split into two new mobs that are Level 56. One of the Level 56 mobs will be an "Essence Tamer Griffon," which is the mob that drops the Swirling Sphere of Color, and it drops it every time.

The Plane of Air can only be reached by the Level 46 Wizard spell "Alter Plane: Sky." This spell does require a reagent to be cast called "Cloudy Stone of Veeshan." This reagent can only be purchased at the 3rd floor of the City Library of Erudin and costs around 200-250PP depending on your faction.

Go to Island Five of the Plane of Air. Kill the Essensce Tamer to get the "Swirling Sphere of Color," which identifies as Magic Sphere from Plane of Air. This will require a major guild raid to complete. If your guild can handle Venril Sathir, it should be able to handle this.

The quest has now been completed!

I have just gotten the swiftwind, and the haste effect is stunning, to say the least. I am regularly meleeing blues at this point, something difficult for most rangers to ever do toe-to-toe, with our low AC.

I am using the Swiftwind in combination with two different primary weapons; A lupine dagger and a revultant whip. The Luppy does excellent damage, being a 9/18 blade, but the greater wolf form proc is the primary reason I use it; running speed and atk bonus. Indoors and after the luppy procs, I frequently switch to the revultant whip, 5/14. This may seem strange, but with the 40% haste from the swiftwind this results in nearly 1 second melee rounds. Soloing with this combination the damage scroll never even pauses, and with my strength self-buffed to 180, I am at 1131 atk when in wolf form and using this combination ( drops to 1120 with the luppy and swiftwind). Adding a chanter haste onto the combination, I had to be quite careful in Chardok last night to keep from drawing the aggro off a well equipped level 60 warrior.

People say EPIC is the best @#%^ the rest... Maybe... I dunno... not there yet... but here's my idea...

A warrior made an exhaustive test and found that best combo for him at lvl 53 was wurmy+velium swift blade... (look at the Velium Swiftblade forum)

SO... what about Wurmy+Swiftwind when grouping with a chanter?

Chanter can slow the mob and haste you so that wurmy is closer to cap than ever... (don't forget the Swiftwind haste)

AND... damage on Swiftwind is way better than Velium Swiftblade...

Only possible downside I see would be the dot... but I heard sometimes the dot don't stack... and I wonder if it can be resisted easily...

If anyone disagree, show me your brain with arguments... no flame...

To those flaming, I won't take care of your worthless opinion.

...At what level should a ranger start this Swiftwind Quest?

...How long shall it take on average?

...How many guildmembers should I have with me ?

C'mon peeps...some useful info puleez!

Skulreaver Swiftblade
47 ranger Eci

There is better stuff in the game(primal velium) but they are all almost completely impossible to get

the effect is always on as long as you weild the wepon in your hand

Just outta curiousity..are the effects right clickable or are they procs on both the swords..and will they stack with say the eyepathc of plunder quickening?

Can anyone comfirm precisely who drops the shattered emmerald of corruption now?

I think you need Kunark expansion cuz you need a green jade sword from City of mist for the epic quest

What is the spell effect?
