Initiate's Darkened Earring  

 

This item is obtained by speaking to a variety of NPCs in the Mountains of Rathe.

The Mountains of Rathe was not my home city, but despite that I was viewed favorably by the Necomancer Guildmaster, Zol Master Malgorn.

You say, 'Hail, Zol Master Malgorn'
You gain experience!!
Zol Master Malgorn says 'I see you have finally arrived, though somehow you lost your recruit letter. This bodes poorly for you already, young Zol, however do not let it get you down, it is but a simple mistake. You must learn to be more attentive to such things though, so that they do not occur in the future. You will be tested at every step of the way, and it will not be easy, but your path is one on which the entirety of our people relies. Your next task is to make your way to the Bank and speak with Banker Zlopps. He will instruct you on the important things to know about stowing your valuables, such as this brooch I give you now. Good luck, young Zol.'

He hands you the Initiate's Brooch of the Darkened.

You receive 5 gold .
Dar Banker Zlopps says 'Welcome at last, young Zol. Zol Master Malgorn sent word of your arrival and I have been expecting you. It is crucial that you understand how important the bank can be for you. You can deposit any and all of your valuables into the bank for safekeeping until you need them at some later time. You can invest and remove any coin you may have gathered as well. I've just given you 5 gold, so why not try it out? Put the gold in your bank and then take it back out again. It's all quite easy to understand. When you are comfortable with using the bank, make your way to the necromancer spell vendors for the next part of your training. Good luck to you, young Zol.'

You gain experience!!
Scribe Noglleg says 'Welcome, young Zol. I have been waiting for you to show up. Word has spread rather quickly that your training is progressing quite well; of this I am glad. Your next task is rather simple, but it is of the utmost importance. You must seek out Quartermaster Grik and pass along a message for me. The message is that the new front lives. Make haste to him and return to me when you have completed the mission so I know he received it. Good luck, Okopipi.''

You say, 'Hail, Quartermaster Grik'
You gain experience!!
Quartermaster Grik says 'Ah, Okopipi, I have been expecting you. I'm glad you were so easily able to make your way to me, message still intact. You have done well in this endeavor and I urge you to hurry back to the Scribe who sent you to me. Inform them that I have received the message successfully and all is well. You are indeed proving to be quite the soldier in this grand Army. Thank you, Okopipi and good luck!'

You say, 'Hail, Scribe Noglleg'
You gain experience!!
Scribe Noglleg says 'Well done, Okopipi! You have proven that you can carry an important message and in the doing have met our renowned Quartermaster Grik. We are very pleased that you were so quickly and efficiently able to deliver the message and return to me. You will most assuredly do well in this Guktan Army. For your troubles, take this as a token of my appreciation, and as a token of your continued excellence in training. If you're to continue your work with the Guktan Army, you may want to speak with our armorers and see what they can do for you. Keep it up and more spoils may be on the path before you.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Sevrana'
You gain experience!!
Zok Sevrana says 'Welcome to the Guktan Armory, Okopipi. We have been expecting you. As a young Zol, you may not have been in many battles yet, so I will impart to you some knowledge that I've learned over the years. The part played by the Zol in the Guktan Army is to call forth the minions of our fallen enemies to our aid, and while it may not be the most dangerous of tasks that we could have been given, it is still important to obtain the best and most protective armor that you are able to find. And while we're on the subject of armor, we're currently in the process of experimenting with new materials in crafting armor for our Army, but we've still not received all the supplies we ordered. We need you to speak with the skilled merchants in town and check on the status of the supplies we ordered last week, and then return to us with your findings.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Moic'
You gain experience!!
Zok Moic says 'Yes, yes... I heard you! What those fools think they're going to be using arrowheads in armorcrafting for, I'll never know... The arrowheads have been ordered and should be here in the next day or two. Tell those fools that they can come pick it up themselves in two days!'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Giisip'
You gain experience!!
Zok Giisip says 'I've received about half of the clay that the Armorers ordered last week. I sure hope they come up with a stronger new type of armor, because with this amount of clay, they'll never have to worry about making molds again! Let them know that if they would like a partial delivery sooner, rather than later, that I'll arrange it for them.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Prolo'
You gain experience!!
Zok Prolo says 'I've obtained roughly half of the gems that the Armorers needed for their new project. I've located half of the remaining gems, and am still looking for the others that they've requested. I expect I'll have the full set of gems completed early next week.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Lubump'
You gain experience!!
Zok Lubump says 'Ah, yes... The leather that the Armorers ordered will be here tomorrow. Please let them know that they will be able to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Gluchh'
You gain experience!!
Zok Gluchh says 'I just received a shipment of supplies, and I suspect that everything they've ordered is in. Tell them that I need some time to validate these supplies and make sure that everything's here, then I'll work on getting them sent over to them so they can start their work.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Ruppeta'
You gain experience!!
Zok Ruppeta looks around for his shipment report, rustling through several papers before finding it. 'It seems that the chemicals that the Armorers are looking for will be in a little later this week. Please let them know for me that I will deliver them as soon as I receive them.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Giibles'
You gain experience!!
Zok Giibles says 'What's this? The Armorers are looking for the supplies they ordered?! Tabruu can be so forgetful sometimes! Would you be so kind as to remind him that I delivered those supplies yesterday?'

I thought I was done, but I had skipped the Brewers.

You say, 'Hail, Zok Sevrana'
Zok Sevrana says 'We've had no word on our supplies from the Brewers yet. Please check with the Brewers in town and check on the status of the supplies we ordered last week, and then return to us with your findings.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Sliips'
You gain experience!!
Zok Sliips says 'I sent my assistant to purchase the solvents and the acids that the Armorers have requested a little over three days ago. He should be returning any time now, and when he does, I will make sure we get them over to the Armorers.'

You say, 'Hail, Zok Sevrana'
You gain experience!!
Zok Sevrana says 'Excellent, young Zol, you've returned with word from all of the vendors in town, and it looks like all of our supplies will be in and ready for us soon enough. You've saved us a great deal of time. I'll send word of your assistance to the elders, who will likely want to speak with you.'

You say, 'Hail, Zokta Elder Reebig'
You gain experience!!
Zokta Elder Reebig says 'Excellent work, Okopipi. I believe you will make a fine addition to the Guktan Army as an apprentice Zol. You're coming along quite nicely, though there are a couple of things that any new apprentice should know. First, you should know that if you're running low on work to do for the Guktan Army, you can always speak with the Quartermaster and Commander Faltip to see if they have any tasks for you to do. I know they always have a need for some help, though I'm not sure if you're experienced enough to help them yet. And secondly, this is the symbol of the Guktan Army. Take it as a sign of completing your first task as a member of the Guktan Army, and wear it well.'
