Staff of the Four  

 

Camin is still in the same place, just did the turn in today.

* He spawns on about a 3 day timer, but it varies (not sure by how much, but like a half a day. I have heard of several very creative ways of checking up on the golem. I know someone who invisied and camped a naked semi-retired ranger in a "relatively" safe spot in the zone. He was escorted by a group of lvl 65 players who ported out as soon as he camped. He just logged on every once in a while to see if it was up.

* Probably the easiest thing to do, is to plan a raid for about 3 days after a server reset. 2 - 3 high level groups with a couple of enchanters, a Cleric, and some good tanks is enough, so its not like you are trying to organize a 6 group raid.

* You can use the 'Zerker Epic dude to your advantage. Hook up with a raid heading off to kill him that is willing to kill the golem too. A raid force big enough to kill the zerker epic mob in Fear would most likely be overkill for the enraged golem.

IF you can get a few ppl 65 or over, you can do the entire epic with one group. Its safer to do Fear with 12 ppl tho. Any high-lvl chanter can just use AE mez on the mobs if you keep them together and mobs are green or light blue to a 70. Easy to tank.

Just tell everyone to leave the greenie imp PH ALONE while you break the zone. A good chanter is your best pal in Fear. We do it all the time with about 8 people.

I believe if u try the turn ins under 51 they will get eatin =\..that is what i have heard and read. I too have all the components and i am just wating for 51..hope this helped =)

Lesser Spirit would not talk to me at Apprehensive.
I have given Camin an extra 1k, and got a faction hit, but I am still apprehensive.

Midget won't talk to me to give me the sprocket.
Don't remember getting a note to give to him. Maybe I screwed up somewhere. Probably have to do the potion again when Camin is up next.

EDIT:
Silly me. I hadn't finished the messenger part to get the ring then note.
After doing that, the midget will talk to me. Do not need to hand him the note.

I'm a dark elf Innoruuk wizard. I also had to turn in the 1kpp to proceed any further.

There are some other ways of building True Spirit faction, but I didn't have the time and patience for it at the time.

Something involving triggering a mob in the shammy epic and repeating a few handins in a couple of zones back and forth.

I completed my epic during the supposed "bugged" era of the Wizzy Epic. I invised through all the handins and had no problems.

Invised to hand the oil into the gnome. Invised to give the 3 staves to Arantir. Invised to give the package to the Solomen.

Yay me on my epic.

The only problem I've heard of while doing the invis trick is MQing... do NOT attempt to MQ the wiz epic.

Edit: To do the invis trick, head out to the handins with a non-kos friend who can cast invis on you. Put the item(s) up in the trade window with the NPC, have him cast invis, con the NPC to be sure it's indifferent, then do the handin.

The first couple of steps in the Shaman Epic will help. (they're posted above).

For the Shaman Epic, sometimes there are bugs with True Spirit Faction, and the solution from the GMs is to do the "Test of Wisdom" over and over, that is, kill the Palladin and the Shadownight in Lake Rathe, and give their loot to "A Wandering Spirit" in WK. I believe this raises faction faster than doing the Peg Leg/Drunked Shaman part, but your True Spirit faction has to be high enough for the the Wandering Spirit to accept the items from you and give you the faction increase. So I would do the first part a few times before trying this.

The following is from the http://www.eqshaman.com site:

Head to Rathe Mountains. You'll find Tabien the Goodly (approx level 32) at loc
pos 6300, pos 1550. If you talk to him, the conversation is as follows:

You say, 'Hail Tabien the Goodly'

Tabien the Goodly says 'Oh thank Marr you are here, Waring . I was beginning to think I would be
abandoned in my time of need. I have a [task] for you to complete in the name of my patron
Mithaniel Marr.

You say, 'What task?'

Tabien the Goodly display his shield that must once have been shining and regal but is now scoured
in cuts, dents, and chipped paint. He says, 'This shield is known as Marr's Promise. It is a sacred relic
that was actually used by one of Mithaniel's angels on the Plane of Valor. Its value to our church is
immeasurable and I have been charged with the protection of it. However, a patriarch of the false
god, Bertoxxulous, is after my shield and me. He must be stopped! Please, destroy him and bring me
proof of his death.

The other one is Glaron the Wicked (approx level 32), his loc is pos 2900, neg 1900.
If you talk to him, the conversation is as follows:

You say, 'Hail Glaron the Wicked'

Glaron the Wicked says 'Are you the one they sent to help our cause? I should have known they
would send a green witch doctor to serve Bertoxxulous and myself. Very well, you will have to
suffice. I have a [task] you must fulfill if you wish to know the blessing of my god and impress your
masters.

You say, 'What task?'

Glaron the Wicked brandishes a long, wicked-looking bone dagger and there is a horrid, diseased
stench as soon as he unsheathes it. He draws another blade, shorter and wider than the first, of
blackened bone with a larger than normal hilt, obviously for defense. He says, 'This festering blade
is called Woe, and this scorched one is called Envy. They were created on the Plane of Decay by
Bertoxxulous' own hands. He has judged me worthy of the protection of such holy relics. However,
there is one in these very mountains who seeks to destroy these relics. End this idiot follower of
Marr's life and bring me proof.'

Now both these guys are fools, what do we do with fools? We kill them. Take their
items (Envy, Woe and Marr's Promise) back to West Karana and give all three to
the wandering spirit at the same time.
NOTE: Marr's Promise will not fit into any bag, except either a Tinker's Bag or a
Large Sewing Kit, for it's huge size.
NOTE: Conversation with Glaron and Tabien is not required to finish the quest.
You may, if you wish, simply kill them outright.

a wandering spirit says 'You are close to passing the test, keep up the good work.
a wandering spirit says 'You are close to passing the test, keep up the good work.
a wandering spirit says 'It is unfortunate that it came to this, but nothing else was to be done. Both
paragons had lost sight of their virtures to protect the items given to them. The mere protection of
these material belongings was not as important to Mithaniel Marr or Bertoxulous as it was that they
act with righteousness in their minds and purpose in their hearts. You saw this and acted
accordingly. For that, we will reward you with the three treasures made into one to ward off the
falsehood of possession, the [Shield of Falsehood]. You have walked the path and now, as your
final test, we must set you along one [last path].
Your faction standing with TrueSpirit got better
You gain experience!!

Not too many I think. The only hard part would be Venril Sathir. You have to have a pretty high dps now that the rune trick doesn't work.

Phinny I've done with 3 (60 rogue, 60 cleric, 52 monk) and I'm sure it can be done with 2.

The golem is super easy, just takes a long time (that bugger has a ton of hp).

Aye, dark elves of Innoruuk have the absolute worst faction combo for doing the wizzy epic. I just dinged 45 and am now getting ready to start my insane faction hunting. Hard part is raising up Felwithe faction without hurting Neriak faction, which I can NOT mess up due to being a blacksmith. And does anyone know how to raise Truespirit faction quickly? I could easily do the temperal flux staff quest over and over, but if the faction hit isn't good it is going to take forever and a day.

Wolf form=KOS in Halas. Ever try running up to Bandl in wolf form? Its not fun.

Bottleneck? You must not have seen the cleric epic then. Did you know there are some servers that have a list of who gets to camp Ragefire next? There is one with 111 names on it right now. Now THAT's a bottleneck!

Its also no drop..

Time to do this is 100 percent based upon luck. A friend of mine did it in less than 1 week from start to finish. Started off with the golem in fear, then VS the next day, then phinny 2 days later. VS dropped the gnarled the first time, Phinny the 4th. However, he is by far the absolute luckiest wiz I have ever seen. I have also known many wizzys who after 9 months have still to get the first mob dropped piece, including myself, and yes, I do try every chance I get to grab one, just haven't had any luck yet. My advice, get into a good raiding guild, then bust yer butt for them and have alot of fun. They will help you with yer epic when the chance arises. But don't expect yer epic before level 55, you may get lucky and have it by then, but highly unlikely. And the golem in fear is the major bottleneck, has a really long respawn time, and is usually farmed rather quickly upon spawning. VS is an easy fight, and the drop rates on the staff are good, but not 100%. Phinny is really easy fight, spawns relatively fast, but the drop rates for the BCS is horrendous, so expect killing him a ton for it to drop. Good luck to you, you will need it.

Mana Robe is called Mana Robe (Really but in Casters Realm they call it Manna Robe) And it is a common drop from Trakanon
