Name of the chest is 'an ancient chest'

so far i have done this quest 11 times in two days 4 or 5 boxing with all level 70s. Using bard to pull i will share my strategy that gets this done in about 30 min or so. First, run someone up to balcony where the bodies are. right hwne you see the first emote jump off and run back, you should make it in time. kill the 2-3 mobs right in front of tunnel. then run around the maze on the right and pull the named from the gazebo...any FD puller should have no problem. theyd o not agro you until you jump INSIDE the gazebo.
Pulling the lubrarian is easy enough. IVU if you have it (or clear the way to stairs). run up there with your FD/bard puller and hit the librarian then jump off and run to tunnel...wait for lib to come out of the house and FD. every time he has been the last one sitting there. kill it.
IVU and go into basement up to the lava pit (werebats see invs). kill the 2 wandering mobs, the 2 at pit, the 2 near garanel and split him frm the mob in his room.
this takes roughly 30 min with my group. no lockout time. it cuts back on EXP but you get a lot of chances at nice loot.

Believe it or not 1 Aug and 9 cloaks so far!!

group consists of 70 war, 70 bard, 70 sham, 70 wiz and sometimes 70 cleric (pretty much just nukes and shammy heals).

Group of avarege below 68 had trashmobs mostly around 65, Garanel lvl 67 and the magemob DB to a 66. When group hit lvl 67 avarage, the trash mobs were all the way up to 70, and Garanel red to a 69.

Very nice XP in here, 2 boxing 68 bst and 67 dru, and had a 69 druid friend with me i gained bout 2.5 AAs on clearing the yard. No real trouble tanking with the BST (7.5khp, all avoid AAs, most mitigate AAs), druid kited/rooted adds.

Didnt go for nameds that time tough, will try it later. Anyone have info on the 2 nameds with a 68+ group pls? HP/max hit/summons/resistance etc?

The lvl 67 Garanel is easy, everything lands on him, and didnt even take one heal on the BST one of the times we took him.

The Curse Begins

Starting this quest zones you into a special instanced version of Unrest laballed The Mansion of Unrest:The Curse Begins.

Starter NPC is in Butcherblock Mountains Name of Savil Tranquilsong, a high elf in white robe located just N.East of the LDoN Wayfarer Camp, near the GFay ZL.

Follow thru the dialogue with a group average level from 55-70 or simply tell him "I am willing".

After the promted text is spoken a "Savil's Wand" item appears on your cursor. It is Magic, Lore, Notrade and has one charge of "Savil's Time Portal" (cast time 10.0) which ports your group back to Butcherblock, once you have completed the mission.

Will have to post factual data from eqlog in a bit, but rundown of quest checklist looks somethin like this.

1. Zone into Dagnor's Cauldron
2. Speak with Savil's Assistant (green cursor appears like in DoN missions-leading to assistant a female high elf on the island in middle of DC)
3. Travel thru time to Unrest Mansion instance (hail assistant and say "I am ready")
4. Stop Garanel Rucksif from killing the priest of Quellious (it is part of the storyline, you cannot stop the kill from occurring-simply wait at the zone in until the zonewide shouts take place indicating that Garanel has killed him).*
5. Loot XX [Bauble/ToVK looking item - name?] off the creatures at the Gazebo (3 mobs at gazebo)
6. Loot Book of Knowledge off the creatures upstairs in the mansion (think the tower where Undead Knight normally spawns)
7. Kill Garanel Rucksif
8. Loot XX [dead priest's necklace item - name?] from Garanel's corpse*
*quest is actucally completed after looting Garanel, but you can get a little extra xp by returning the 3 quest items to Savil in Butcherblock
9. (Optional) Return to Savlil in Butcherblock
10. (Optional) Give Savil the 3 quest items

*note several NPC humans labelled as followers of Quellious (lt blue to 68) are roaming around before and up until the killing of the priest zonewide shout. We didn't attack any of them, and they were indifferent to our Necro (the only evil char we had). Don't think you are supposed to kill any of them, and not sure if you are penalized if you do :).

Pretty simple and easy quest for nice xp at 68 (got about 12-15% actual xp from one run thru), but need a good group, some form of CC for adds, healer, slower and a good puller, as the yard hosts a load of roaming mobs all conning from Dblue to yellow (lvl varies according to average of group).

Group consisted of 68PAL, 65PAL, 70DRU, 70NEC, 65SHM, 65ROG (group ave lv67). Single pull as much as poss, ALWAYS pull to a wall to avoid adds. We had nice DPS with the necro and pallies, but the adds can be a pain (they were immune to our necro's slow and mezz).

Garanel Rucksif conned red to 68 (ie: >lv70), and dropped like a sack of potatoes. Think he hit alot in the 2-500s and maxxed somewhere from 8-900s with 1800AC and basic defensives at 68. Didnt even have to waste Defensive disc on him, he dropped so fast. Estimate his HPs somewhere around 55-60k(hit him for 2% with 1100DD), pretty weak for a 71+ mob. DPS him down ftw.

Chest pops immediately upon killing him, and ours also contained the FT2 "Cloak of the Fallen Priest" listed in posts below. E-mailing pic of the clock to alla along with this post. It was nice of SoE to give some kinda high end undead back to the Knights, Clerics and Necros :)

from new exp of butcherblock (near GF zone) guy

Anyone that can solo the Skeletal excavators please do...keep killing them until you spawn "A Skeletal Foreman" kill him and Sir Ariam Arcanum will pop on his corpse (he's hard to see because he basicly looks like an Enchanter's pet...can only see his weapon) hail him, it may take like 10 hails but he DOES respond...then

/say I sense a deep pain within you, ghost. Is there some way I might assist you so that you may find eternal rest?

then

/say I will perform any task that will cleanse this place.

pay attention to the names he mentions! you'll need them soon. Next part depends on if your kos in freeport or neriak...(if u can go to freeport

/say I will take it to the Knights of Truth.

if you can only go to neriak

/say I will take it to the Dead.

he will then give you a note (if your faction is high enough) and a bridle that is lore, nodrop, norent that has a 1 charge of summon: horse (the regular 9k one)...you get the bridle no matter what...if you use the bridle it disappears..if you take it to the whoever he mentioned, Sir Artanis in freeport or the queen in neriak, you get pretty much the same item back but it is just nodrop...aka not lore so u can get as many as u want and its no longer norent....

If you are level 15: Kill death beetles until 17
Kill ghouls to 20
Kill anything blue outside the castle to 23 (very few but you have to).
Kill dry bone skeles to 25
Kill barbed bone skeles to 30
Train in estat to 45

for some reason everytime i go to unrest its either empty or just a few people. I remember when unrest was one the most populated zones, but now its a ghost town

Do you know the true story behind Ruksif? I do. Here is the tale...

Long ago, A cleric of Quellious brought his family to the shores of Faydwer hoping to bring the knowlage of Quellious to the beings of Faydwer. In doing so he made a great mansion for his family.

Meanwhile...An insane dwarf was escaping from the Kalidim jail when he went across sea and stumbled upon the cleric's estate. He went in to torture the entire family forever.

Quellious was so angered by this offence especially in a chapel dedicated to her that she lost her temper and struck him down- domming him to walk the halls of the cursed estate forever.

Now you know all about this feat. Email me and I'll give you more stories about NPCs.

Aye, first time our grp (6 characters L18 to 24) found him he pasted 4 characters with no troubl at all, we all thought he was like between L24 and 30. No way did we think L20 as credible.
The next time we had another group, our stupid monk went off exploring and came back to us unannouced with Toklar and some 'friends', our highest Level player (L24 Cleric) shouted 'OOM Run!' and for some strange reason only he and I did. The rest conned Tokko and believed they could take him and his retinue without heals or undead nukes. We went back to rez all 4 of them 2 minutes later.

I brink all my twinks here for powerleveling. Slap some hp, str, regen, and a damage shield from my druid, then have then pull the whole yard. Mobs self destruct on the damage shield, and all a character has to do is hit each mob once.

Paludal caverns is better xp, but this zone is more interesting.

how come unrest isn't considerd a city/town? when you enter it says YOU have enterd the ESTATE of unrest.i always have to walk SO far just to get my body.

how come everytime someone pulls a train it seems almost all the monsters outside join in?

When my Cleric dinged 19 I noticed that most of the NPC's outside are green or light blue. Some Jack O'Lantern's and some Tormented Dead are dark blue outside to me but not many.

As a 19 Cleric I decided to zone to Dagnor's and camp. There were 2 goblins, 1 Aqua Lord and the other was an Aqua Bosun (not sure of spelling). There was 1 Dwarf on each of the aqua's. I kept healing the Dwarf's and enjoyed the fight. We sat and mena'd up for a bit when all of a sudden an Aqua Lord popped where the previous one died and the 3 of us grouped and took it out. Very strange to see so many aqua's following characters so far in to the tunnel leading to Unrest and even more strange was having one pop right there in front of us. Just a warning that when you zone out of Unrest be aware that you may zone in to a fight on the other end.

I had only heard about the trains in unrest. 2 friends of mine visited the place and couldn't get threw the tunnel. so i decided to never go there. well i am a level 24 necro hunting tidqal lords around the culdren and decided to hunt unrest. man is this place great. One second you have the room under control the next your over whelmed. I have almost level from 24 to 25 in one day. Not bad. the place is a great place to hunt if you are in a good group. i was with a level 24 necro me a level 24 necro and a 27 cleric. we handleled the room pretty good. we were in the room off the side of the house with the deck. i think only 2 trains for 4 hours of work. loot is good money is good. plus i made 2 good friernds that day. i told my other friends if you want to hunt with me you have to hunt in unrest. now i havent really explored the house yet. hope to this weekend.
