    You say, 'Hail, Saemey Wirewhisker'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'Welcome to Kejek friend. I am the seer of this village for I have been gifted by the spirits with an affinity for their realm. The barrier between the spirit and physical realms is thin in these lands. The heretics know this and must be prevented from committing [atrocities] similar to those that have been committed in the past.

    You say, 'What sort of atrocities?'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'Long ago when our noble ancestors the Vah Shir were destroyed by an explosion that devastated the warring Heretic and Erudin armies an evil creature by the name of Tserrina Syl'Tor was attracted to the sudden abundance of new spirits in these lands. Tserrina was capable of capturing these spirits before they were able to cross over beyond the mortal realm and through her dark magic transformed them into a [crystalline shadow] substance.

    You say, 'What crystalline shadow substance?'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'The crystalline shadow substance was used as building blocks for Tserrina's tower on an Island near the frozen lands to the south as well as fashioned into armor and weapons for her mindless servants. Emylie Steelclaws has developed a means to purify the armor and weapons using the special properties of our Kejek forge and a smithy hammer blessed by the Titan Spirits. The purifying process transfers the imprisoned spirits into [soul orbs]. Ask Emylie about the purification process.

    You say, 'What are soul orbs?'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'I have perfected a ritual that will free the imprisoned spirits within the soul orbs. I simply require some kejek [spirit powder] to scrawl the proper sigils and a soul orb upon which to perform the ceremony. My apprentice will perform the ceremony on fading soul orbs. Simply bring him a fading soul orb and some kejek spirit powder.

    You say, 'What is kejek spirit powder?'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'The spirit power of which I speak is composed of ground spiritling stones. I will grind some powder for you if you would bring me a Valley Spiritling Stone, a Jungle Spiritling Stone, and a Mountain Spiritling Stone. Collecting the stones does not truly harm the spiritlings for when slain in this realm their essence simply disperses until it eventually reforms into a new spiritling.




    1. Talk to Emylie Steelclaws in the same fort.

      You say, 'Hail, Emylie Steelclaws'

      Emylie Steelclaws says 'Shalom friend. My mate Kalaaro is the primary blacksmith of our village. I mostly create his tools, do touch ups and refurbishes, and maintain the [kejek forge].

      You say, 'What kejek forge?'

      Emylie Steelclaws says 'Our forge has received the blessings of the Titan Spirits to burn with a supernatural flame! This flame has many beneficial properties but most importantly it can aid in freeing the spirits that have been imprisoned in materials by evil sorcerers.

      You say, 'What about the purification process?'

      Emylie Steelclaws says 'The crystalline shadow must be purified in the kejek forge using a special hammer blessed by the Titan Spirits. I will craft a hammer for you to take to the Titans for their blessings if you bring me a Large Brick of High Quality Ore and an Oak Shaft. Once the hammer is blessed you may use it in the kejek forge to purify the crystalline shadow and transfer the spirits contained within it to a Soul Orb that must be taken to our village seer.


    2. Give Emylie a Large Brick of High Quality Ore and an Oak Shaft.

      Emylie Steelclaws takes the supplies and begins to work on the hammer. She works swiftly and efficiently then cools the finished hammer and hands it to you.

      Your faction standing with Kejek Village has been adjusted by 2.
      Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 1.
      You gain experience!!

      You receive a Kejekan Smithy Hammer.


    3. Locate a giant ape by the name of Giang Yin in Stonebrunt Mountains.

      You say, 'Hail, Giang Yin'

      Giang Yin looks down upon the creature standing beneath him and speaks. 'You are brave to approach a titan such as Giang Yin. I pray that the spirits have granted you honor and respect as well as courage.'


    4. Give any of the titans the Kejekan Smithy Hammer.

      Prowler of the Jungle, Slyder the Ancient, Old Ghostback, Snowbeast, and Giang Yin will all accept the Kejekan Smithy Hammer.

      Upon turn in to Giang Yin:

      Giang Yin says 'Freeing long imprisoned spirits is a noble cause. Your hammer has our blessing to free the souls from their crystalline shadow tombs.

      Your faction standing with Kejek Village has been adjusted by 2.
      Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 1.
      You gain experience!!

      You receive a Soulforge Hammer.


    5. Place the Soulforge Hammer and one Crystallized Shadow or Faded Shadow item into the Kejek Forge and hit combine. The trivial for all combines is 15 (no-fail).

      -A Faded Shadow weapon results in the Purified weapon and a Fading Soul Orb.
      -A Cyrstalized Shadow weapon results in a Purified Crystal weapon and a Soul Orb.
      -A Cyrstalized Shadow armor piece results in a Purified Crystal armor piece and a Soul Orb.

      From here, collect the Valley, Jungle, and Mountain Spiritling Stones and give them to Saemey Wirewhisker.

      Saemey Wirewhisker grinds the spiritling stones in a mortar and pestle with foreign runes scratched into the ceramic. 'This powder will assist in matters concerning the contacting or freeing of spirits.'

      Your faction standing with Kejek Village has been adjusted by 1.
      Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 1.
      You gain experience!!

      You receive 1-4 Kejek Spirit Powders.


    6. Give one Kejek Spirit Powder and a Soul Orb to Saemey Wirewhisker:

      Saemey Wirewhisker says 'I require a Soul Orb and Kejek Spirit Dust in order to perform the ritual that will free the imprisoned souls. Saemey Wirewhisker scrawls an arcane symbol on the ground with an odd powder and places the orb in its center. He then begins reciting an incantation and waving his arms over the symbol and orb. Moments later the orb shatters and an apparition appears.

      Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 1.
      You gain experience!!

      You receive a Shattered Soul Orb.

      Giving one Kejek Spirit Powder and a Fading Soul Orb (from purifying either the Fading Shadow Rapier or the Fading Shadow Spear) to Mrowro Wirewhisker results in:

      Mrowro Wirewhisker says 'I require a Fading Soul Orb and Kejek Spirit Dust in order to perform the ritual that will free the imprisoned souls. Mrowro Wirewhisker scrawls an arcane symbol on the ground with an odd powder and places the orb in its center. He then begins reciting an incantation and waving his arms over the symbol and orb.

    The number of powders you receive must be random - the text above says 2 powders, the first time I did this I got one powder, and the next time I got 3 powders. Also, does anyone know what to do with the shattered soul orb you receive at the end?

    What does this look like? It sounds like it would look cool, I wouldn't mind questing a set, as everything else on a halfling druid looks like pretty boring leather.
    Oak Shaft?

    Where can the Oak Shaft be found? I would assume that this is the Oak Bow Shaft, but would hate to turn it in and lose the items. Could someone clue me in?

    After looking around a little more, I found the Oak Shaft for sell on one of the pottery venders in katta. Payed around 1p for it.
    Purified Crystal Items are NO RENT

    I just did the quest today for the leggings, put the crystalized shadow leggings in the forge with hammer, got out purified spirit leggings, like it said. 2 agi instead of 3 and 5 vsmg. was looking for vsmg boost. But the leggings were NO RENT. Seems there must be more to this quest... Maybe another day I will look into it.

    High Quality Ore and Crystalized Shadow Scimitar
    # Mar 22 2002 at 3:04 PM Rating: Decent
    At level 30 I probably don't have any business trying to do this quest; Thanks to friends, I've almost completed it.

    Large Brick of High Quality Ore:

    I looked high and low for this item, but couldn't find it on the merchants listed anyplace or on the mobs listed here. I got lucky, in that I was camping the Goblin Alchemist in Permafrost and was with a kill happy Monk that decided the spawn time was too long. He killed the gobbos al around, I followed and looted. Score!!! one of the Goblins he killed had a Large Brick of High Quality Ore.

    Crystalized Shadow Scimitar:

    After research, I found that this drops off of mobs in the Tower of Frozen Shadow. Here is the part where I think I have no business trying this quest, because the lowest level mob on the starting level is 30. Thank you friends.

    A couple of pointers:

    Before going to Stonebrunt, I would accuire the Oak Shaft, the Large Brick of High Quality Ore, and the Crystalized Shadow Scimitar.

    On my way from the zone to Kejek, I would hunt the spiritlings.

    Go do the chatter with the cat people.

    Find a titan. I didn't find Old Ghostback, so I took a chance and gave the hammer to SnowBeast (or something like that) and he gave me the next hammer :-)

    Since I had to leave Stonebrunt to go to ToFS for the scimitar, I hope to finish the quest this weekend.

    Thanks,

    value for effort
    # Mar 15 2002 at 10:07 AM Rating: Default
    the main problem with the weapons that are purified is that none have a very good ratio, so i guess some would use in the off hand for the resists. THE BEST VALUE is the dagger, because it can be carried in the range slot.....so you get those resists without having to use a bad ratio weapon. Plus the crystalized shadow dagger can be bought for 40pp...sounds great value to me

    How do you get the spiritling stones - where do you find the creatures that drop them?
    RE: Spiritling Stones
    # Mar 22 2002 at 3:09 PM Rating: Decent
    you get them off of the Jungle, Mountain, and Valley Spiritlings right in Stonebrunt. But most of them drop burnt out lightstones that are No Rent; don't need those for this quest.

    Good luck.

    Slyder the Ancient, the titan snake in Stonebrunt can also bless the hammer. Judging from your post and the quest post, one can believe that any titan can bless the hammer...just give it to them and you should get the soulforge hammer.

    Here's a short quest version from start to finish to craft your charisma/resist weapon:

    *Give Emylie Steelclaws a Large Brick of High Quality Ore (found rarely off Pickclaw Goblins and from Fire Goblins in Sol A [among other places I'm sure]) and an Oak Shaft (found from most smithing merchants).

    *Give the resulting Smithing Hammer to any Titan (rare spawns...players usually kill them if they can if they're up and wandering about). You get a Soulforge Hammer from the Titan and some exp and faction.

    *Combine the resulting Soulforge Hammer and your choice of weapon/armor in the Forge at the Kejek Village to recieve the Hammer back (so you can get an infinite amount of weapons for your guild or yourself), an orb, and your new purified weapon.

    My skill was a big, fat 0 in Smithing, so the good news is that no skill in smithing is involved with forging the purified weapons/armors! /cheer

    Also, it's my opinion that these weapons are pretty useless in combat, but they're ok for buying stuff like dots from merchants and for a primary slot resist item for priests/casters.
    Where does this go from here?

    This is to the last 2 posters. I am currently on Xev, and have done this quest numerous times. the forge is there, (looks like any forge) first building on the right, I purified a scimitar tonight as well. If you're getting an error message, try downloading the optional patch, it might help. I do believe that this quest continues somehow. I noticed tonight, that the spirits once freed travel quite a bit further than they used to, (didn't hail the erudite was being chased by my second freed heretic) before depspawning. Also being left with a shattered soul orb and a weapon that has been altered, and not necessarily for the best, leaves me wondering if this quest continues on somehow. It seems to me to be a rather lengthy quest for mediocre equipment, especially the no drop armor. (still looking for tunic. =p) If there's anyone on Xev that wants to get together and compare notes on this quest send a tell.

    Somes infos on purified weapons.

    I tried to purify a Fading Shadow Dagger and a Fading Shadow Scimitar in the Kejekan Forge and had this message :

    [Tue Feb 05 20:45:41 2002] an Item you created DOES not exist in Dbase

    ? :o( ?

    I tried with other fading weapons and had the purified versions.

    I tried with a Shadowbone Dagger and had the Do not combine message as expected.

    It seems that the quest have some buggs ...

    So, Im doing this quest on the Xev server... I get the hammer... I go all the way out to find shadowed weapons and armor... Come all thew way back to Kejek and the Kejek forge is nowhere to be seen! There's only four buildings in the whole village so I know I didn't miss it! Is this yet another broken StoneBrunt Quest on Xev? I feel I have wasted a LOT of time on this quest!! GRRRRR!!!!!

    Hummmm ...

    Sorry to tell you that : you have miss the forge !

    When you enter the village, go into the building in front of you and look on you right when you have the door in your back ...

    Don't you think that look like a forge ?
    Have you try to click on it and read the name of this container ?

    # Jan 20 2002 at 8:30 AM Rating: Decent
    Very importan question. Do you need a set smithing skill to combine the items in the forge? a post under the tunic itself said was trivial at 140 something, but, as was asked in a previous post on this thread, is getting the new item based on your smithing skill, or just a matter of hitting combine and you get your new tunic? or leggings, or gloves, or whatever. Thanks.

    Tunic, Leggings and Boots
    # Nov 27 2001 at 5:25 PM Rating: Decent
    In addition to becoming Druid and Ranger usuable, purifying the tunic,legs, and boots makes the following changes:

    Tunic: Adds 5 Magic Resist
    Leggings: Adds 5 Magic Resist, Agi+2 instead of +3
    Boots: Agi+2 instead of +3

    Hope that helps ;)

    and so on...

    I just did this for the first time with my 32 Druid. I turned in the Spirit Powder and a Fading Soul Orb to Mrowro, and a Fading Heretic Apparation spawned. It looks just like the mobs from the Library in TOFS. He starts floating away and I decide to follow him for no good reason. I guess the "Heretic" part should have tipped me off.

    We're barely outside the village gates when it attacks me. I only had SOW and invis on. He was blue to me at 32 and I think it had some good MR, as it resisted Snare about 6,7 times and had 50-75% resists almost every time on my Combust spell.

    Killing it gave no faction hits and it didn't drop any loot or items.

    NOTES : If my faction listings are inaccurate, it is because I am relying on 2nd hand information. Dark elven necromancers aren't able to do these quests without a good deal of faction trickery.

    I will of course make corrections to them if they are incorrect.
    Levels?
    # Nov 17 2001 at 3:17 AM Rating: Good
    It seems like Allakhazam's been slipping lately. One of the most useful things I've gotten out of this site in the past is knowing what quests I can do at my current level. Lately this site isn't even telling us what level you should be before attempting the quest to begin with, which makes that handy search feature I've paid for sort of useless. I know I can look at the mobs involved and go to the bestiary to see what level they are... but this isn't why I paid for premium. Besides that, I have to agree with Aaun, can't we just summarize a bit here? Just tell us what we need to know, I want to know what to do and the quickest way to do it. I can read the npc text myself in game. Since things are slowing down so much prior to the release of Luclin, why not go through what's already posted and fill in the blanks?
    Not that I'm downing Allakhazam's... this is still THE best EQ site on the web. But it could still be a lot better.

    ARGH! Going Blind!
    # Nov 14 2001 at 1:58 PM Rating: Good
    26 posts
    Why does every quest spoiler listed over the past few months give every single word, leter, and punctuation mark of the quest?

    I'm nearly blind from reading about 10 quests. All of which could easily be summarized and combined and be shorter than this 1 spoiler.

    They used to simplify the explanations which made more sense. We're going to see all of the non vital text as we do the quest ourselves. It seams a waste of their bandwidth to include all of the nonessentials.
    RE: ARGH! Going Blind!
    # Jan 19 2002 at 1:47 PM Rating: Default
    Hate to say it, but I, for one, enjoy the full-text versions of the quests. If there's a hint about a future quest in the text, perhaps I'll find it. Otherwise, there's no point to listing more than the path of least effort of each quest, and that way, you'd miss out on little things like why the quest was started, how someone discovered it in the first place, and like that. And compared to the comment content following each quest, the full-text description takes up comparatively little room...

    As far as the shattered orbs go, it might be a quest that continues when Luclin comes out. Who knows what we will need then. There are also the 2 maybe 3 zones that could show up off of Stonbrunt based on the dead end tunnels and such.
