You say, 'Hail, Shwara Volerno'

Shwara Volerno says 'Welcome to The Abattoir fellow Cazicite. I am Shwara Volerno, Mistress of Necromancy. If you have just begun to study the Necromantic arts I will assist you with obtaining some [clothing] and a robe that will be most useful when conducting research outside of The Abattoirs walls. We members of the Abattoir are the most feared of the residents of Paineel by the citizens of Erudin, to venture too far beyond the safety of our city unprepared would be foolish.'

You say, 'What clothing?'

Shwara Volerno says 'You will require this Curing Kit that has been specially prepared for the crafting of a suit and robe of Abattoir Initiate Clothing. The components necessary to craft the clothing vary according to the article that you desire to fabricate. Once you have been outfitted in the proper attire return to me and you may assist with some [important research]. Do you desire to fabricate an [abattoir initiate cap], [abattoir initiate wristband], [abattoir initiate gloves], [abattoir initiate boots], [abattoir initiate sleeves], [abattoir initiate pantaloons], or [abattoir initiate robe]?'

You say, 'What important research?'

Shwara Volerno says 'We Cazicites of the Abattoir are the most advanced Necromancers in all of Norrath. Our greatness is due to the diligence and studiousness we apply to our research, and our powers over fear. The foolish sorcerers in Erudin are afraid of the knowledge we possess. They fear the magic we wield and control, for their minds are too weak to harness it themselves. Despite our vast knowledge there is always more to learn that can prove to be beneficial to The Abattoir. I require your assistance in obtaining some [new information].'

You say, 'What new information?'

Shwara Volerno says 'The Abattoir has recently discovered a Kobold Spiritist that wields necromantic powers. We believe this unusual kobold resides in the Warrens of Clan Kolbok as he has been sighted entering and exiting those ruinous caverns. It is possible that this kobold has somehow acquired this necromantic knowledge from Paineel but I would not like to rule out the possibility that it is a rare form of kobold sorcery. Find this Kobold Spiritist and bring me whatever arcane parchments you discover in his possession.'

Abattoir Initiate Staff
# Sep 26 2004 at 11:39 AM Rating: Decent
There's a differance between Abattoir Initiate Staff and the lower level Staff of the Abattoir.

Lower level Staff of the Abattoir comes from https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=668
Quest is called The Fisherman, kill a retiring necro by the river and bring back his fishing pole.

High lvl Abattoir Initiate Staff is from Abattoir Initiate Important Research quest at https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2102 Kill an albino kobolt in wardens, a giant snake in tox and that roaming banshee in tox. Turn in the kobolts scroll first from wardens. When you zone in take a right, then two lefts and he's in one of the 2 rooms in that room.
Turning in the scroll gets you the staff but you cant equip it yet. Turn in the Unequipable staff, the eye from the banshee and the giant snake skin for the Abattoir Initiate Staff.

Staff stats:
2hb 8Dmg, 34Dly 1stam 2int 2.0wt
Necro Eru Cazic-thule only.
No drop, lore
Have staff, but....

So I hailed Shwara to get the info on the quest...she told me all about it, like she's supposed to...
...thing is, I haven't done this. I've never been any further than the entrance to the Warrens, and although I've seen the spectre in Toxx, I haven't killed him....and yet when I opened my inventory looking for something else, I found "Staff of the Abattoir Initiate."

Bug, maybe?

Yes the kobold you need to kill is a white kobold named Rikfeer the Arcane, he is dark blue to a lvl 17 and is easy to kill with necro, perfect for exp.

Can anyone tell me about what level this Spiritist is? I think I know what room he is in. I am level 13 right now, with the new pet buff spell Focus Death, so my pet can last a bit longer and I have all my lvl 12 spells as well. Give me a hint, cause I'm wanting to get it. THough kinda poopy it'll make me feel good that I did this quest all by myself =)

This is (obviously) a very late reply to your question, but in case anyone else has a similar question....

Rikfeer the Arcane does drop the parchment. His beastiary link at Ilia's is:

http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=9180

He conned dark blue to my Paladin at L15. I did solo him with the (untwinked) Paladin, although it wasn't exactly a trivial fight.

Rikfeer casts various DoT spells which can be troublesome. There are also 2-3 other kobolds in the room and vicinity and if you were much below 15, they would add to the fight. In fact, it seems likely that my Paladin was abnormally lucky. At the time I did it, only kobold archers were near him -- no howlers or shamen, although I think they can spawn right there as well.

Happy hunting!

Petrified Eyeball?

Pardon me for my ignorance, but where does one find a Petrified Eyeball?
RE: Petrified Eyeball?
# Aug 09 2002 at 1:57 PM Rating: Decent
SprayCheese is close. Petrified Eyeball comes off a Fading Spectre in Tox. It doesn't drop everytime as well just as a side note.

I did this quest the other day simply because there aren't many Erudite Necro only quests out there. I was fairly dissapointed with the final result. +1sta +2int on a 2hb staff? =(

I found one off the creature in Toxx forest called a withering spectre. Now if anyone of a lower level tries their hand at it, be careful. Ward Undead DOES NOT work on it. Why? I don't know. Maybe a bug or something. But it did drop a petrified eyeball.

Ha sthis gone live yet? I have been collecting the pieces for the armor, but have yet to find the NPC that gives the quest. Where can I find her?
RE: what server is this quest found?

She can be found at the bottom of the necro guild in paineel, below the balcony that has a tortured soul on it. Turn immediately after you go up the steps once entering the guild, before you go through the doors that lead up to the steps that lead to teh vendors.

Got robe last night.

Shwara Voleron says 'Well done Stonestep. These parchments will be inspected immediatly by some of The Abattoirs most experienced translators and researchers. Take this Rough Abattoir Initiate Staff then go forth and obtain a Giant Briar Snake Skin and a Petrified Eyeball. Once you have done so bring me those items and the rough abattoir initiate staff and I will put the final touches on what will be your new instrument of power.
Shwara Voleron fashions a grip out of the Giant Briar Snake Skin, fastens the Petrified Eyeball to a steel mount on one end of the staff, and tarnishes the wood of the staff with a shimmering black substance. 'Here is your new Abattoirs Initiate Staff, Stonestep. May it serve you well in your pursuit for power.'
The staff is Erudite Necromancer No Drop item. Deity on staff is Casiz-Thule. Staff is small size.

So where is the Kobold Spiritist? I've been looking for 5 hours and was hoping you'd let us know.
RE: This quest is for the staff
# Aug 09 2002 at 4:48 PM Rating: Decent
The Kobold that has the scroll is called Rikfeer, albino kobold, take the path right from zone in, head down, take the door on the left, then go left again down some steps, then take the door on the right, you will find a room with two more doors, Rikfeer is behind the left door, if he's up that is.

He's a White Kobold in the warrens. On the lower level side and in a small room all by himself. Sorry I can't recall the exact name but he's the only white one in all of the Warrens.
