Tunare Warden  

I don't know about the other stuff, but the white hellebore is not NO DROP. I usually sell it off to vendors when fighting the gnolls outside of splitpaw.

Got a Thick Caustic Fluid drop in Unrest this weekend. FYI

A note: The caustic fluid does not have to be found in LDoN. You can find it in regular old MM. Also, the end product is a nice little ammy. Unlimited root is really nice.

I see lots of people having trouble finding the red dust and the fluid. Here are some good news.

You don't need to go to Sol A to get the dust. It's also a common drop from the goblins in Lavastorm. You can slaughter the little camps and get it in a few minutes.

As for the Thick Caustic Fluid, it now drops in the LDoN adventures in Mistmoore Catacombs, at all levels! I've seen it drop from level 20 to 65. It's an uncommon drop but do 3 or 4 adventures there and you'll find it.

Good luck!

I killed gobbies like mad in Sol A for 2 hours and no red dust dropped... is it called something else or is the quest broken right now?

OK a tip on getting the caustic fluid that probably won't help anyone - as a level 51 druid and there being only one other person in mistmore castle zone I was pretty much on my own. I decided to do a risky camo on myself and hope no one could see through it. Ran around the castle until I found two dark offerers and one other mob in a room. I killed all three with an ae and prayed no one came running. Both dark offerers dropped the fluid . Gated out. This was after a failed attempt when invis wore off and I had the entire castle on me. I barely made it out. My conclusion- travel back in time to an age when people fought in mistmore. Otherwise get a crazy half elf druid hell bent on getting a necklace that casts a root spell that he got two years ago because he was bored and wante dto do a quest. Then go eat ice cream. I would perfer chocolate fudge brownie.

My 2 copper pieces:

What i noticed from doing this quest as a lvl 54 druid, the second quest was much harder to accomplish then the first or third, the biggest problem about the 2nd quest was the NECRO. I had camped that spot near the obelisk for about 6 days added up total, and I mad a list of all the times the mob was killed. I began to notice a pattern.

The Ghasts don't spawn until 12am and no Ghasts will spawn after 6am, so i figured I had the same 7 hour window for the NECRO to spawn, so I planned it out.

If I kill the Necro at about 7.5-8pm, he will spawn around 12.5-1am, and if I kill the PH fast enough, I will get one more spawn that night around 5-6am. So I figured I would try it out.

I killed PH at 8pm on the dot, right when it changed from 7pm to 8pm, and then wouldn't you know it, the Necro spawned on the very next pop, I was amazed. I would recommend to kill this guy at either 7:30pm or 8pm, but 8pm is easier to know as far as what time it is.

As far as the last quest, i found it to be really easy:
1: Go to Gnolls, ask anyone to give you one of the million hellebores they have been collecting all day, i donated all my buffs to the group and 10pp for the help.
2: In SOL A i asked to join a group with 2 less ppl then a full group and buffed them up to help them kill more, and they let me loot the red dust from a wizard in the main hallway.
3: Mistmoore, this has to be the hardest thing, I recommend either getting into a group to kill offerers, or you can do what I did, Wait for someone to train the castle, and snare and root a couple offerers before you zone, then come back, kill em, and one will have one for sure.

Last copper here: I am KOS to Erudin for killing so many sentinels, but I did run all the way to the palace invised and the lady on the 2nd floor of the enchanter's guild. Of course, from the faction from these quests, she loved me, but the other NPCs in the room wouldn't jump me, they conned dubious and I was allowed to give her the items without a prob, but there IS a sentinel that will wander down from the 3rd floor, so make sure you lose invis when he walks up the steps, that's all I have for ya, good luck. I love this root, AWESOME..

Oks just got this item last nite so, heres my experinces. First off im pretty sure you will have to go into Sol a to get the pouch of red dust. It might drop off the gobs in lavastorm but i killed about 300 of them with no drop. I went into sol a got it pretty fast =P. As for the dark offerers, they dont always spawn in the jail. I had to go to the gyspy room to get one, so you should bring friends for this portion. For the white hellebore pretty sure you will have to go into splitpaw. Only killed maybe 20 outside with no drop so who knows on that one, also the white hellebore is dropable so you could just buy it or have your higher lvl alt get it for you. Necklace is pretty nice, well worth the time if you a lowbie druid like me. Got it lvl 30. So good luck to all you out there and hope you get your necklace.

No, each quest requires the turn in of the necklace before it. So what you'll end up with, is just the root necklace. I've had mine for a week, and feel like a chanter performing crowd control. How any tunare cleric or druid could live without it now, is beyond me.

The idea is to do the whole quest to get the Warden Symbol and to do it again for the Tunare Initiate. So you have the clickable root AND the clickable haste! Often I finish the mob after the last dot is gone with my scimitar to raise my 1hs skill. A 50% haste (Im lvl 51 right now) would be nice... :)
Anyone know if it is possible to get both items?

Is it possible to have a friend place the Thick Caustic Fluid in the brew barrel and then leave it there for me to put in the rest of the ingredients and hit brew, or will he get the TCF back when he closes the brew barrel window?

Is there an equivalent to this quest for followers of Karana? Items like these would be a great help but being a Halfling Druid I have to follow Karana.

Is there a way to multi quest this? My ranger has the red pouch and I"d like to do this with my cleric :)

if you find that you are kos to Trilani. to raise faction with the craftkeepers, kill Eilail Brook in Toxx forest. he's at the docks.

Anyone know if the unanimation powder is no drop?

Asking because I screwed up on a MQ of this, had a friend whack the necro while I sat waiting for courier at gfay zone, then she looted necro head and we turned stuff in in the wrong order so she has the symbol and candle but cant use.

I was reading these posts and i sounds like you have to be pretty high level to do this..Xcept that on this webpage they state that you can complete this at level 18? Can anyone verify the level needed to do this

Other pointers for various parts of this quest:

Bone chips: If you can't get this part done, you're playing the wrong game.

Hearts: Ghasts are uncommon. Take your time, track and kill them while you camp the necro.

Heads: Necro's name is Larik Z'Vole. Courier is a Dark Elf Courier. Track is your friend. Patience will be learned here.

White Hellebore: Fairly common drop in SplitPaw. By the time you are high enough lvl to be working on this quest, you should be able to group in PAW and get one with little time invested.

Red Dust: SOL A is a nasty place. WATCH THE LAVA. There are places where if you fall in, there's no way out, and corpse recovery is an entirely new kind of adventure. Don't go too deep into SOL A, as the gobs start getting pretty nasty, and can aggro from places you don't see. Mid 30s to 40s should have no problem coming in here and slaughtering green cons until you find the dust.

Caustic Fluid: Mistmoore is LOADED with mobs who don't like you very much. I've been told that if you just wait for someone else to come in and start killing everything, you can just ask nicely for loot and invis your way in to get it. The other option is to get a nice group and work your way in slowly. You shouldn't have to go too far in to get what you need. Now a Deathly Usher for Ivy Etched quest is a different story :)

Good luck. You'll need it.

How would one go about multi-questing this necklace? I assume that you can loot the head for the second symbol. Then turn in the first symbol with the higher lvl char and the courier head after to get the second symbol on the low lvl(druid in this case) Then turn in the second symbol after the brewed item is turned in, resulting in the druid having the symbol while only looting 1 item.

Has anyone tried this, or some other method to multi-quest this item on to a low(6 or so) lvl char?

1. I went and killed the offerer first that was fun found her right in the middle of the first room you enter when you open the door after yo8u cross the bridge into the castle. She is all alone in the room and if you kill her fast you have plenty of time to gate out after you looted. she breaks root on nukes, and nuke back but not that bad. (im 48 druid...)
2. then off to lava to kill some goblins. And let me tell you THAT is the worst part of this quest... I spent 4 rl hours earthquaking the 3 goblins and sometimes hykallen at the gobcamp outside najena. FINALLY one of them dropped a pouch.
3. ok off to splitpaw, took less than 2 mins to get 10 tells from ppl wanting to sell the white plant, and they are indeed NOT no drop. (I offered 100pp for one so I guess that might have sped things up I have no idea...

4. Went to Erudin palace and gave the candlestick to TRILANI PARLONE (there is no NPC named tilani...) she conned apprehensively to me but gave me the bottle back and some faction.

5. Ent out of the palace and to the inn that are in the same house as the Erudin Surplus but if you face the sign its the second dor to your left kinda around the corner... the innkeeps name is Reihan Wilhelmson. ok go upstairs and there is a brewing thingy just combine the stuff in it and it will work no matter if you have skill or not I have 0 in brewing and i succeded.

6 Well you know what to do from here... by reading the other posts, congrats on your new rightclick root item :)

when you hand in your old neck pieces, do you loose them and have to request? or get the new neck and old one back?

can a Cleric with Mithaniel marr do this quest or is it Tunare diaty only?

OK, most of the people who posted on how to do this quest assumed that your a druid who can port, snare, and track the mobs, and thats not right. For all you Clerics trying to do this, heres how I did it at lvl 21.

FIRST NECKLACE: Ok, so you handed in your Bone CHips, and Yeolard sends you off to LFay to hunt those Ghastys. Easy right? Nope. The Brownies cause problems, and the Ghasts are hard to find, even with a Drood tracking, but we have the ultimate weapon here:Sense the Dead! Just, if you canm get a wolf form (Not necessary) or SoW and cast Sense dead from the GFay zone. If your lucky to target a Ghast, RUN TO HIM. If you get like a mummy or skelly, KILL IT, then sense again. (NOTE, start this around 5PM, because Ghasts only spawn at night and you want the zone pretty clear of undead to allow those Ghasts to spawn) Just do this till you find your 4 Ghasty hearts, and if you die, use /loc before you die, makes finding corpse much easier.

SECOND NECKLACE: Ok, hand in your hearts, he gives you your Initiate symbol with a poison/disease buff. Believe it or not, it's useful for this quest. OK, back to LFAY (I know your sick of it by now) and Sense dead again. You need to find a mummy or a skelly on that spell, because one of them will lead you to the Obelisk where the Necro spawns. OK, to do this, first Bind yourself at the entrance to GFay. You will need to Gate back here AS SOON AS THE NECRO DIES, to catch the Courier. Ok, done that? Good, now keep sensing and killing till you find the Obelisk. set up camp on the hill next to it, but not so close to the skelly up there as to agroe him =P. OK, once it becomes twilight, around 6PM, make sure both spawns on the Obelisk itself are dead, and kill all the others in ther area, I think there are about 2 others....OK, the dude on the second step has the option of being the necro, so if it pops and it is NOT the necro, kill it IMMEDIATELY, and med.Just keep the camp clear really, and when, about a year from now =), he pops, kill him before he can summon a pet, Root and Nuke usually works, but you MUST save alot of mana! The courier is harder. As soon as the necro falls, loot his head quickly, and gate back to the GFay zone area. Now look to the left of zone, toward Steamfont, the Courier wil come arunnin, and if he's green to you, will run right past. (This is one of those times when you WANT something to agroe you) as soon as you can target him, cast a nuke or root or stun or anything to get his attention, and battle for your life. Once you can get him to die, loot his head and Crate and back to Felwithe with ye!

THIRD NECKLACE: Hand in the Necro's head, the Courier's head, his crate, and your Initiate symbol for the Disiple symbol, which has a more powerful disease/poinson buff =P. Now, take the candlestick and beg for a port to Toxxulia forest, and head to Erudin. I dont know the way from toxx to Erudin, but just ask for the loc. Once in Erudin, go to the Enchanter's guild ( dont remember the way there either) and find the High Elf chick named Trilani Parlone , she'll give you a baggy or something. OK, now it gets tedious cuz we cant port. Go to Splitpaw, and ask around for looting rights to the White Hellabore (its a plant) or buy it from someone. Well, that was easy! Now onward to Lavastorm mountains, where you actually have to do some work! go to the Fire Goblin camp closest to Najena, NOT THE ONE ABOVE THE ENTRANCE TO SOLA, and huntem down till you get your pouchy. Now onward to Mistmoore. This is the hardest part, because you need to GO to where the fluid drops. Just sit down near the zone and auction to buy the looting rights to some Caustic Fluid. You'll eventually get some, I did in 5 minutes =). Now find a brew barrel anywhere (Closest one is in Felwithe, in the store Talkor's Poison or something like that. Theres one downstairs there. I dont think you can fail on this, but I had a brewing skil on 80 something, so not sure. Anyway, brew the stuff, bind near the CLeric guild if you wish, and buy a port to Tixxulia forest again, and run back through erudin to the High Elf chick, and give her the brewed result. She will give you Unanimation powder, which has one charge of a strong undead nukey, but DONT USE IT! Ive heard rumors that using that charge will make the powder disappear, and then you'd have to start from the begining of the first quest! So deliver the powerder to Yeolard and now you have your Warden Symbol of Tunare! This has a WIS bonus and lets you right-click Grasping Roots, a 10 dmg root, unlimited charges. I love it so much im still using it at lvl 30, with NO PLANS of getting rid of it. This is one of the few items that give Clerics the power to solo. Take this baby and go to Lake of Ill Omen, and try it out on those Sarnaks and Gobbys, yull see what I mean. Also, if your oom, you can just keep rightclicking this, slowly..........slowly.....killing your opponent, I killed a yellow sarnak that way.

Good Luck fellow Clerics!

-Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?-

OK, most of these posts are assuming that you are druids who can port and track and snare and stuff, and I hate that, so all you CLERICS out there listen to this.

Basically I just wanted to say hello, and give everyone some info on the item.

I followed steps listed here to complete quest when I was level 29 (cleric NOT druid)

since obtaining the Warden Symbol, I have used it as well as the Root and Enstill spells.

funny thing is... I find that now (I'm level 44)
The grasping root spell sticks longer then root or enstill.

Thats assuming that no one is nuking too hard.

Anyway for all you questers out there, I'd also suggest doing the Kromrif Military Legs Quest.
Its not too hard around level 30 - 40 and the reward is sweet...

Can anyone clarify how I hand in the items for my third necklace?

I mix the drops from MM, Paw, Lavastorm with the fluid Trilani gave me in the barrel.. give that to her.. she gives me some powder, then I take that back to Yeolarn with my second necklace to recieve my third necklace?

Pouch of Red Dust -- After camping the Goblins and Fire Goblins in Lavastorm and also the Goblins just inside the Solusek's Eye zone enough to encumber me with coins three full times and not getting a single pouch, I'm fairly confident when I say that these items no longer drop in Lavastorm and no longer drop on the Goblins near the entrance. A nice high-level Ranger, though, helped me get past the jail, into a bedroom, where it had dropped, and let me loot it. Synopsis: You'll need a group of 30's to get this item, unless you can ask around like I did.

White Hellabore -- In spite of what some people here say, this doesn't drop in Rathe or Lake Rathetear, nor did I ever see it on any Gnoll in SK. If you wanna go into paw, again you'll need a nice group. Never fear, though, I bought one off of that merchant in the Bird tower. Whether he has this item all the time or not, I don't know.

Thick Caustic Fluid -- Mistmore is as dangerous as Crushbone was a few years ago. Mobs will run clear across the zone if you make one of its buddies angry, and there are more Dark Elves here than in Neriak. The Dark Offerer is not a static spawn -- they will spawn in the jail, in the mansion, or in the courtyard. Not only will you need a group to get this -- you'll need someone in your group who knows this zone. The danger element in this zone is not to be underestimated, which makes this zone extremely fun.
