Mikael Mistigone stands at the docks to Gunthak. I must have hailed him a long while ago as he gave a quest titled something called "what machines are these". There were 2 steps. check a courtyard in Nadox to see the machines there, the Western door to the temple in Gunthak, and then report back to Mikael to receive the reward of 73pp, 4s, 8c plus some exp, which must been a small amount at 65.
I rehailed him again and he now tells me he is busy waiting for some one? So maybe the quest is removed??
I've got several Tiger Fangs to drop from the various tigers, and I'm wondering something. I sell them for about 1 plat to vendors (with 2 opal encrusted steins) and they turn around and sell them for 13 Plat plus.
At a price like that, I'm thinking they are used for something else (perhaps a quest). I don't know, but it just seems that stuff costing that much with no weapon potential, no tradeskill label, etc. likely is used for something else.
I'm also wondering if anyone has some suggestions about trying to identify unknown recipes, tradeskill items, etc. Any thoughts on a good way to identify the 50% of original quests that haven't been discovered yet?
Instead of hitting all animals at once, thought I'd put this on the Stonebrunt page. The Tigers, Tigresses, Granitbacks (Elder and Highland) have dropped numerous Runes for me.
Most have been labelled as dropping the Rune of Karana. Although I've got a couple of these, I've also got Runes of: Concussion, Rallos Zek, Arrest, Fulguration, Helix, Dismemberment, Regeneration, Al'Kabor, and Xegony. The rune drops are kind of sporadic, but they fall a reasonable amount of time.
I've also had various words drop from these mobs. Forgot, I also actually got one Eye of Serilis to drop. According to Alla it is used for a Magician research spell.
Last few times I have been through the zone I have tracked "a mountain dragon". Red con to my lvl 60 Druid. Probably for one of the new epic quests. Havent taken the time to go look at him yet, and wonder if he would be on the "ring of scale" or CoV factions.
A Dire Panda- Stonebrunt Mountains A Dire Leech- Swamp of No Hope A Dire Griffon- North Karana A Dire Kodiak- Jagged Pine
These are all level 65 and con indifferent. I hope this helps with some puzzle pieces. Rangers had to find 6 sick animals. I would assume there are 2 other dire animals out there to add to this list. Possibly druid epic? I haven't found any epic information linked to them yet.
I believe this is a new mob in the string of other new dire animals. I saw him on track in the north part of the zone but didn't get a close look because it conned red to me at 58.
I ran across him west (or I believe it was west.) of the Kitty Kat City. If the Shipyard is South, then he was West. He was close to the zone wall. Tuff little bugger. I'm a 51 ranger, and I had to DoT him, and use my arrows to get him down to 41% health before I gave up and zoned. A few punches from him when he jumped me got me down to 18% health in hardly any time at all...and I was full hp with my hp being just under 2k. So I recommend you bringing a healer and a slower AND so DPS along with you if you are gonna kill him.
If you care, most of the names of the mobs are written in Khowar, which is a language mostly spoken in Chitral, which is found in the far North Eastern part of Pakistan:
Ademzada = aristrocrat Awrat = woman Ghazi = veteran holy warrior Ispusar = sister Mamluk = servant Mujahed = holy warrior Pasdar = he/she, who awaits Khonza = Queen Amir/a = prince,ruler/princess Shazda = prince Puzhal = name of a city Tseq = child
On the far most south east ledge is a pirate camp, as mentioned by previous people.
There are 2 scorned shiphands, 1 heretic shiphand, Wejnin D'Vir, and Cedric Trallus.
All conned indifferent to my halfling driud, despite me spending the last 5 levels and 6 AAs killing pirates in Dulak, so I am assuming they are on a different faction.
All conned red to my level 55 druid.
When hailed, Wejnin D'Vir said: "Wejnin D'Vir is wiping the mud from his boots as you approach him. He does not appear to be particularly pleased at having to undertake this exercise. 'What is it? Can't you see I am busy?' Wejnin D'Vir stares at you a moment then sighs and turns back towards his muddy boots."
When hailed, Cedric Trallus said: "Cedric Trallus is holding what appear to be some nautical looking maps. He rolls them up quickly as you walk in and addresses you. 'Yes? Is there something you need?' Cedric Trallus growls as you notice black tendrils slithering across his fingers. You start to think it would be wise to leave him at peace."
Sounds like a quest to me. Now, if I could just figure out how to raise the faction to get them to talk more. Hmmm...
Ok... I need more sleep, because had I bothered to look more closely I would see that Cedric is listed in the mob list above along with the dark spells quest he is linked with.
Two mobs are showing up on track which are not on this list.. A Scorned Shiphand and A Heretic Shiphand. Both track as red to a 34 Ranger, and appear to hang out somewhere east of the ship along the beach.
Went that way and saw them with 2 named mobs. One was reading nautical maps and had some dark tendrils around his hands. Red to a 56 so didn't bother them as i was alone at the time.
ok i was on my SK and running around getting pelts/XP here. i look at my LoY map and see a little bump on zoneline. i ran to it and it was a cave, i saw some boulders in it and tried to get through, i couldn't. so then i thought "hey maybe they will move if i click on them!" so i click on them and they spin around... im like WTF!? so i go on hunting and come back and i run at the boulders and keep clicking and they spun me through (you have to hold foreward) i got to the back of the boulder wall to find a dead end... i beleive this is gona be part of the new expansion coming out calle "lost dugeons of norrath" if you do not beleive me go take a look yourself! to get there go along the stream that goes north and follow the wall its closest to, you will see the cave, clikc on the boulders and see!
While wolf form for druids is KOS to the Kejekans who otherwise like my druid, not all illusions are. I cast spirit of ash on myself last night (faster mana and hp regen, 39 dru spell), and sat in the middle of the Kejek city. I think I was the biggest tree in the zone...but they didn't have any faction issues with the tree. Lol.
The Etched armor is pretty nice for the level you can obtain... And yes, not everyone is a twink. Besides as far as twinking, if you are leveling why not keep a set for your lower alt or a friend anyways.
I have hunted here with my Druid to level. I leanred a LOT about this zone. It is a druid/ranger designed zone period... bottom line. Some of the quests DID requie forage. I got 2 Wakizashi of the Frozen Skies
while just ******** around for XP. Also the NAMED fruits and Bamboo *WAS* forage only. Sometime since last time I was here it changed... I now looted Bamboo and claws of a young panda. The claws seemed more common. Also now you can SEE the claws on the young pandas. It looks flipped backwords (maybe my video card, but this happens ont he vah shir models sometimes too for me) claws bent out from their elbow. Also I dont think I am crazy, I think the cats DID agro me before, but now are dubious. And in wolf form most con warmly... isnt that sweet.
((( this is kind of like the the Shard wyrms and bile : making thier feet/aura glow... thats how you know they have bile in another zone for another quest.I mean now more and more stuff has visaible loot table )))
So when A ranger asks if he can solo, if your around the level range I say go for it.
As far as druids, wolf form makes you agro nothing... EXCEPT the Cat people. If you are in normal form (as Karana anyways) A lot of the stuff will jump you. Mostly the gorillas and mature pandas (and young)
As a druid or ranger 'Fear animal' and 'panic animal' are your lifes blood. Its a fast cast, everything is an animal, and it can save your butt.
I returned here at 37 and still got decent xp off the blue mobs. just while defending myself I got a yellow bubble, and honestly I was just ******** around because I had gotten the port (from the east common's tunnel vendor) I dont think the xp ever stop here.
Rangers, Druids and monk zone by far. Monks get the footpads of the snowbeast, bamboo staves and the bamboo splint armor is nothign to shake a stick (first) at (grin).... Id say this zone is practically custom made for those 3 classes.

a lvl 29 could kill the heratics pretty easy. I like using a pet. because sometimes they have a pet. they are SK or necro. be warned. the love to fear also.
