Vaean the Night is located at +2765, +2330.

Vaean is on Venril Sathir faction and won't speak to you unless you are of a certain faction level (lowest known to work is indifferent). You can get around this requirement if you sneak.

You say, 'Hail, Vaean the Night'

Vaean the Night says 'Ahh, welcome! More souls to succumb to the inhabitants of the Outlands! My army of undead will grow stronger by the day, but it would be a pity if you perished before doing a [mortal bidding] for me.'

You say, 'What mortal bidding?'

Vaean the Night says 'I see it as a win-win situation for me. If you succeed, I'll gain more power from the knowledge you bring back to me. If you fail, you become another addition to my undead minions. Thus, you cannot fail me in returning a scroll of Splurt, Defoliation, Covergence, or Thrall of Bones. In return, I will part with a scroll of mine.'

Hand in one of the requested scrolls:

Vaean the Night says 'Here is the scroll that I promised. We have both gained much knowledge today. I hope to do business with you again soon. Farewell!'

You gain experience!!

Venril Sathir is the relevant faction for this and prettymuch all quests from the outpost in Overthere.
Here's the address to that faction page:
http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/faction.html?faction=156
Looks like the best straight up kill-mobs-for-faction farming would be in Veeshan's Peak... however, that is a raid zone and all mobs there have way more HP than their /consider would make you think. Also there is raid timer delay on fast mana/HP recovery :-( .

I did spell turnin as indiffrent. Duno if that is minimum tho.

Was scowling but did this as a halfling druid:

- Aggroed and pulled to a safe spot.
- Snared and then egressed off aggro.
- Ran back and did the turnin sneaking.

Vaean warpes back after a few mins.

4 x Shadowbond
5 x Minion of Shadows
1 x Sacrifice
2 x Scent of Terris

From 12 x Thrall of Bones

pet spell
# Dec 02 2008 at 11:24 AM Rating: Default
Got 4 minion pets in a row when doing turn in in the overthere. Turned in 4 convergence spells and scribed the last one. Perhaps this is the one needed for the pet spell?
Minion of Shadows...

I have turned in TWENTY (20) spells so far, and have not gotten a single Minion of Shadows. Right now I have 10 Scent of Terris, 6 Sacrifices, and 4 Shadowbonds. This is getting ridiculous and I am starting to believe I am either extremely unlucky, or this quest is screwed up. Has anyone done this quest recently and actually received Minion of Shadows? I would of just bought the spell from Bazaar long ago, but I have not seen it for sale for over a week now. I've been buying all the Splurts/Defoliations/Thralls/Convergences that I can find and have spent thousand of plat just for this one stupid spell!
Minion of Shadows...

Wow, so about 10 hours after I posted all that and I've come home from work, I get 2 spells from the Bazaar (Thrall of Bones and Defoliation) and I go to turn them both in, praying I will finally get Minion. I turn one in after another, and I get TWO (2) Minion of Shadows in return. I must have just been on a really bad streak or something, because it took me 22 different spell turn-ins to finally get the pet spell, and I got two in a row at the end. I guess it still is just the luck of the draw on what spells you get in return, so if you are having trouble getting the spell you want, just keep at it.

I am happy now :]

The first time I tried to turn in a spell to him, I was attacked before I got there.

The second time, I went in invised. I found him where he was supposed to be. I dropped invis and hailed him, but rather than responding to my hail, he attacked me, and the rest of the guards rushed in and soon put an end to me and my pet.

I'm a lvl 53 Drakkin Necromancer. I thought I was evil enough to turn in a spell, but maybe not. If I can't do this quest for a new pet, where am I supposed to get one?

Thanks. Gengagaree, lvl 53 necro.

Make a lvl 1 Darkelf who does the hand in. Also you should be aware, that this pet is a rogue pet, and has a lot less hp then your last pet, on the other side it adds some backstab damage to its DPS.

Xp gained was not even enough to notice on my blue bar.
My results

For two splurt and two thrall of bones, I received sacrifice, minion of shadows, and two shadowbond'. For my next set, which I didn't make a note of, I recieved two scent and two shadowbond. For defoliation and thrall, I received two shadowbond. Finally, for a copy of thrall, I received sacrifice.

I'm satisfied that it's random, but I'm not sure whether some are more common than others.
Turning in spells
# Aug 13 2002 at 3:57 AM Rating: Good
First off, here's a small correction to the description above, you can turn in any one of the four spells, not all four as a set. By saying 'and' i thought you had to trade all four in as a set to get one spell. Vaean says 'or' which means any one of the four.

Next, it appears to be a totally random spell that he gives you in return. I turned in a few the other day, 2 Splurt, a Convergeance, and a Defoliation, and got Minion of Shadows, Servant of Bone, Shadowbond, & Scent of Terris. So it's not a set spell for one you turn in.

Also, when i hailed him, he only mentioned the four spells for a necro to turn in, so it looks like only the 4 main caster classes can do this quest.

Any class can do the quest. When I was selling spells in the bazaar, I would buy up the cheap quest spells and turn them in for the better ones. Pure luck of the draw on which you get in return. If you are an evil charactor and can get into the OT outpost, you can do this quest. If you are a good charactor, go to Feronia Vie. Sorry, but no necro trades in Feronia Vie. haha
All together, you can trade spells for Cleric, Wizard, Mage, Necro, Shaman, and Druid. (No druid trade in OT - sorry again.) Just look for the NPCs there in the spell selling area in OT and talk to them. They will tell you what you need to do the quest.

It seems totally random to me. Here's how it went for me: had a friend bring in spells, she was a 28 DE SK btw. Turned em in one at a time. Splurt got me Minion of Shadows. Convergence got me Minion next. Defoliation then got me Minion AGAIN. Thrall of bones got me Sacrifice. Now I need Shadowbond, dammit..... :(

It is not a set list.. it's random. It was a couple months ago, but I turned in five splurts and got Minion, Scent, Shadow and two Sacrifices.

I am a 51 necro and i tried to do this quest earlier today. I did it in cabilis and handed in
3 spells, thrall of bones, defoliation, splurt.
All 3 times i received sacrifice in return : (
I was curious to see if anyone has also had the same thing happen to them. It really sux that i
didnt get any of the other spells in return.
Set spells returned
# Nov 20 2001 at 3:52 AM Rating: Default
As far as i can tell, depending on which spell you turn in, you get the same spell back every time. I turned in Convergence and got Minion of Shadows, turned in Defolliation twice and got Shadowbond both time, turning in Thrall of Bones and recieved Scent of Terris. I read a post where another necro turned in Convergence and recieved Minion of Shadows. So following this pattern turning in Splurt, you would recieve Sacrafice. Please reply to this post and list what you recieved from each spells, not what your "friend" said he got =) ps wurmslayers suck

I turned in Convergence and got Scent of Terris =/
RE: Set spells returned
# Nov 20 2001 at 3:55 AM Rating: Default
I would like to reply to my own message, if you read down a little bit, on the post "Got 53 pet and Sacrafice" you will notice he said he turned in Convergence and Splurt to get those spells, Pretty much for sure it's a set list of returned spells now.
RE: Set spells returned
# Apr 20 2002 at 1:38 AM Rating: Decent
I turned in two Defoliations, a Splurt and a Convergence. I got three Minions and a Scent. So it does not always give you the same spells for what you turn in.
Cabilis too
# Oct 29 2001 at 11:28 AM Rating: Default
This quest can also be done in cabilis. In the Necro guild there is one NPC on the top floor that dosen't give a skullcap quest. If you hail him he says the same thing as Vaean. So all the Iksar necros can do this quest too.

# Sep 27 2001 at 12:29 PM Rating: Excellent
I think the spell u will receive by random are one of these:
Sacrifice, scent of terris, minion of shadow, shadowbond. No lev 55 + spell

I bought the Splurt scroll from a vendor for 11pp......lots drop in Sebilis so players sell them off....wonder what I am gona get for turning it in hehe
RE: LMFAO
# Dec 12 2001 at 11:33 PM Rating: Default
Bought Defoliation from the shady in EC for 10pp, turned it in for sacrafice, worked quite well
got 53 pet and Sacrifice
# Aug 31 2001 at 6:51 PM Rating: Default
I am a 51st necro on Luclin. I got Splurt off a wurm in skyfire and convergence off a tatterback gorilla in Burning Woods. Since I had already purchased both spells I traded them in and got Minion of Shadows and Sacrifice. Nice deal there.
Drops
# Jul 03 2001 at 2:33 PM Rating: Decent
To my knowledge the spells needed for the quest, Convergence, Defoliation, Splurt and Thrall of Bones, have a chance to be dropped from any mob lvl 45+ in Skyfire Mountains, one zone away. And most likely they also drop in any other zone with lvl 45+ mobs.
level 50+ spells
# Jun 17 2001 at 9:17 AM Rating: Decent
any idea who or what drops these scrolls and where to hunt?
Repeat Quest
# May 08 2001 at 8:18 AM Rating: Default
Is it possible to do this quest, if the spell recieved is not to my liking, can I just give him the spell back provided it's one required for the quest?! So I could simply give him the scroll back he gave me until I get the one I want?

Thx
