I finished the quest today, faction with Askr was Indifferent on the person doing turnin, one person in group had amiable faction and it all worked good

just completed this quest and got the aa as well =0)

Please be aware that you MUST have good faction with Wembly to make a successful turnin. If you dont get the dialog, you Do Not have good enough faction. I spent many days there multi-boxing to get the 4 pieces for a turnin so I could get one of my chararters flagged for PoTac. The character that did the turnin had indiff faction and I just handed Wembly the 4 quarters. I got a generic "kiss off" message and he kept all the quarters!

Just spent another week farming the Raiders for another set of quarters, these were collected by a character with Ally faction, but who has already done this quest and is flagged. NOW I'm worried that I'll be rejected again because the turnin Character is already flagged.

Anyone know if a previously flagged character can do the turnin and be successful with all others in his group getting a flag?

Anyone know if I can get another AA for the turning if previously flagged?

when camping these to flag my alt wiz, I noticed some things. I did not stay to test my theory further because I disliked the camp, But I thought someone might find this information helpful or useful.

4 pieces of the talisman,
4 diaku classes- each drops different section (I didn't record which diaku dropped which piece, sorry)

they come as warrior(wears chain), rog(wears chain), shaman(only one to cast), or SK(only one to wear plate)

what I noticed killing the rocks PHers was that It seemed the different classes would Pop different diakus.

The rock classes were
Rock Storm(Wizard)- seemed to pop the Shaman/SK
A violent sandstorm(rogue)- Probably pops rog/warr, I killed more of the whirling which worked for me
A whirling sandstorm(warrior)- popped the rog/warr diaku for me

So just remember which diaku classes you looted your first 2 or 3 sections from and try to kill the right Rocks to get the Leftover diakus you need to pop.

Can anyone confirm that indifferent faction is high enough? At indifferent I get the same text that I get at amiable. (Using enchanter collaboration) As long as I get the quest text, I should also receive the flag correct?

Did the hunt for the Diaku last night and found a way to get the storms un-stuck. The lovely wolf form and a crazy enough ranger to do it. All you need to do is put a ranger or druid in wolf form and cirle the peak where the storms are stuck. It will aggro everything in the peak. Just make sure you have sow mem'ed because you don't want to aggro everything to the zone out.

Started and completed this quest in one night over approximately 3 hours.

Our guild brought 2 groups to the zone to do this quest. One group setup in the northern corner of the desert section in PoS while the other setup in the southern corner. Both groups had a ranger pulling and tracking for Diaku Raiders.

As far as I can tell, there was no particular section to the medallion anymore. I attempted to identify one of the Quarters of a Diaku Medallion but Identify complained about needing a target for the spell. So unless, by some miracle, our groups got four different parts from the Diaku Raiders, there is no need to worry about which 'corner' you have anymore. Just get the 4 pieces and turn them in to Wembly by 'Exit Tree' and you and your group will be flagged for Plane of Tactics.

Good Journey

We were killing these little bastards all night and could only get 3 parts. I was telling the group about the stuck ones (ph'ers) but we didn't see them on track, prolly cause we were looking for raiders and not the rock things, huh?
Is there a secret to it or is this just a really long boring 3-dayer camp? We need top right btw. Apparantly the rare one changes? Maybe it cycles.

Myself and a few friends just MQ'ed the key. Everyone that has a piece to turn in must have amiable faction or above. One person in group that did not hand it was indifferent but did not matter, still got key, hope this info helps.

I was in a group of people who had all 4 Daiku emblems for the quest. I do not have the PoJ flag, but I am lvl 65 so I was able to zone into PoS using the > lvl 55 rule.

I can confirm that it works as not only is it listed on my key ring, but I have zoned into Tactics many times now.

I also received the charm upgrade and another AA from Gram Dunnar.

Is this quest for access to PoTa?

Is there a minum level for this?

This quest get you charm stats/AA point from PoK dorf?

I completed the quest today with a group. We hunted the desert for about 4 nights with around 3 hours per night, totalling 12 hours for this quest. Please note that we had the last two emblems drop within 10 minutes of each other so YMMV.

The emblem is put together by four parts, each part is dropped by a different diaku raider. Correspondingly, there are 4 diaku raiders: a warrior, a rogue, a shaman and a shadow knight. The first three wear chain armor while the sk always wears plate. The drops break down like this:

top left = sk
top right = warrior
bottom left = shaman
bottom right = rogue

I believe the 4 classes are all equally rare. The drop rate is around 1 in 3 to 4 kills.

There are 4 places the diaku raiders can spawn. All 4 spots are within viewing distance at maximum clip plane if you set up camp north of the desert giant encampment.

After spawning, the diaku will either start to wander off or wait around a while and then wander off.

The place holders for the diaku are all flying rock type mobs (rock storm, whirling rock storm, violent sand storm, etc) as well as the yellow scorpions. The black scorpions are rarer, so I couldn't say for sure that they are a placeholder.

There is a bug in this zone at the moment that will get all wandering mobs stuck in the large cliff formations in the center of the desert. They seem to path over the cliffs and then get stuck in the "crease" between two adjoining cliffs.

Once the placeholders of the 4 diaku spawn points are stuck in the cliff (diaku can get stuck in there too btw) you are basically not going to get a new spawn, either placeholder or diaku.

There are various ways to get the mobs unstuck. One was to aggro a cactus or some other non-giant mob and kite it very close to the rock formations. Since the scorpions and rock storms will assist them that might get them unstuck.

The other way is by using a bard. Track your way to a mob that is stuck in the cliff. Climb up the cliff partways using levi, then fire off any detrimental AE song. This of course aggros all the stuck mobs onto you. I died several times getting 10 mobs at once unstuck from the cliff.

Once you have them unstuck, they will continue to path around the zone (the desert part) on a sort of racetrack pattern until they get back to where they were stuck (note: there are several "spots" where mobs get stuck).

Once you get the cycle going you can easily pull and kill all mobs/placeholders/diaku from your camp north of the giant fort.

This took us about two nights to figure out. From the third night on we had pretty steady kills of the diaku and the placeholders, leading eventually to all four emblembs.

Another observation: Once a diaku spawns, there is a high chance of at least a second one spawning either right away or within the minute.

Bring a tracker!

We've spent the past few nights collecting these. We're trying to get several people in our guild flagged. Primary looter attepts to loot, if duplicate lore, then secondary looter attempts. If duplicate lore again, then teriary looter attempts, and so on. We've had six people looting so far. Two have gotten a full set, the other four have gotten 3 of them. They're all missing Top Left. From our observations, the Top Left does drop off the Shadow Knight ones. The Shadow Knight ones seemed to spawn as often as the others (Rogue, Shaman, Warrior), but just don't seem to drop an emblem as often.

We'd gone in thinking the storms were the PHs for Diaku and killed any storms just about as soon as they spawned (three rangers constantly checking track). After a while, we just started killing any of the wanderers (cactii, scorpians, snakes, etc) to prevent adds during the pulls. It seemed as though this increased the spawn rate for the Diaku (not scientific, just anecdotal).

Also, there seems to be a pathing bug that gets lots of the wanderes stuck in the cliff edges. To get them out, we'd run a bard around the perimeter of the mesa things singing an AoE song.

We did this turn in tonight, I did not check my faction beforehand, and did not think it was going to matter.........well it did. Askr faction doesn't make much sense to me, it's pretty useless. After all, if I handed you a giant head wouldn't that tell you that I didn't really like those guys?

On a side note, it WAS an MQ, but GM's couldn't give the secod person their piece back. That struck me as ridiculous too, ad the GM said "EQ does not support MQ-ing".....fine, but I had thought that EQ was moving from soloing to more grouping? So why wouldn't it support a group of toons of the same level or close to come together and pool their resources in order to get something or solve a problem? Seems kinda ridiculous to me......Well I guess we're going to have to go back out and get that last piece. I guess I'll loot it this time so that we don't have to MQ it I wouldn't want to do soemthing that this game obviously says it supports but doesn't........my 2 cents

does this quest flag a whole group or just a single person. also, if it flags whole group, does everyone in group need askr the lost faction at indiff+ ?

Having done this quest twice now in aiding guild mates, I've found a pattern to which Diaku drop which quarters (thank you trusty Silvery Mask):

Top Left Quarter: Always came from the plate wearing Shadow Knight Diaku's.

Bottom Left Quarter: Always came from the chain wearing Shaman Diaku's.

Top Right/Bottom Right Quarters: Always came from the non-casting, chain wearing Diaku's.

Also of note, Diaku Raiders don't always drop quarters when killed. I hope this helps somewhat.

We spent like all day here, killed atond of them, could not get warrior talisman, top right I think. Probly killed 10 warriors and they were slow to spawn. Rogue was also slow to spawn but both rogues we did had them. Got lots of shammy ones. Seems the spawns were static random. We kept killing same spawns and they were poping raiders 2 out of 3 pops. Had about 7 spawns found mostly in northwest corner near the pillars and one in southwest corner. Sure would love a MQ on this if anyone on Rodcet has this page and don't need etc. Adds were pretty wild too even for our necro puller.

After taking to others and killing more Diaku Bottom Left is the rare one, at least on BristleBane. and no I dont have it yet, have the other three if anyone has bottom left on BB and wants to MQ it with me, will pay if your already flaged if needed.

is this assist wembly quest an alternate way to gain the access to drunder and does it give you full access / flag for drunder or must the manaetic behemoth in PoI still be killed for full access / flagging to drunder

What the heck is the placeholder for these mobs/

Did this with a group of mage 2 wars, chanter, and druid,and shammy, took 5 hours to get 3 medallions, one of the warriors had one piece, upon trying again we cannot get the 4th piece to drop. anyone know if the fourth piece is rarer and does it drop south by the giant tents? (demadin of povar)

Can the medals be Multi Quested?

Wembley is on perma kill atm, so are all the other new alterantive methods of advance meant. Seems the quest is busted and a GM told us he couldn't help with a quest, even though we had all the parts and faction. Hopefully he will be fixed in a patch.
