You say, 'Hail, Palardiag Dax`Kunoksan'

Palardiag Dax`Kunoksan says 'What business could you possibly have with me mortal? Speak quickly before I have your tongue ripped out. I have a very important ceremony to prepare for.'

You say, 'What ceremony?'

Palardiag Dax`Kunoksan says 'The time for the tainting of the blade draws near. All new initiates of the Shai`din must take place in this. If you do not [pledge allegiance to Shai`din] then I would suggest leaving now while you still have your head.'

You say, 'I pledge allegiance to Shai`din.'

Palardiag Dax`Kunoksan says 'You support our cause and rituals do you ______? I cannot say I am not surprised, I do not usually come across a mortal with the same intentions as yourself. As a matter of fact this is the first time. Regardless, I think that you wish to assist us and I am willing to give you a chance. Do you [agree to collect the necessary items] to forge your own Shai`din ceremonial blade?'

You say, 'I agree to collect the necessary items.'

Palardiag Dax`Kunoksan says 'Very well ______, go out and seek out the four pieces of the Shai`Din blade amongst these halls. I am sure you will know what they are once you have come across them.'

The pieces drop randomly in the zone. Hand in all four, and Palardiag gives you back the combined NO DROP Shai`Din Ceremonial Blade and a Shai`Din Medicine Bag. He asks you to combine the blood of 8 Councilmen in the medicine bag to make a tanning agent which you must return along with the blade for him to "judge you."

i havent killed in chardok a in a long while, but perhaps there is a way to raise shai din faction, which is probably what is needed to get the real reward here when you turn in the blood, the only thing that doesnt make sense is why is the first part, the sword, gathered in chardok b where faction is against the shai din?
If it smell like crap and looks like crap...its crap

Have you tried getting your faction to the very maximum with whatever faction that the NPC is on and trying the hand-in again? It is possible that you may get the actual reward... just an idea.

Chardok B
Shai`Din Longsword Left Hilt and Shai`Din Longsword Right Hilt can be find around ZI area, you just need to kill all dogs skellys and wandering ghosts

Dulled Shai`Din Longsword Blade and Runed Shai`Din Blade Edge Can be find at Savage Chokidai area which is very close to Palardiag Dax`Kunoksan (drop by skellys)

After you turn in the 4 pieces of sword , you get a combined sword and a 8-slots bag for blood

Chardok A
Buzdarloan III, Garkerok III, Laanari III and Ysabrial III pop at royal , after pass the bridge to Royal (which has some skelly traps under it), you will be in a big hall , go down stair, they are 2 sarnaks at left and right of the stair and 2 at opposite side. these 4 are PHs of the 4

Instead of go down stair, turn right and at the end room there are 3 sarnaks in it, the middle one is the ph for Gwalnax III

I cant find
Councilman Caroeth III
Councilman Neyir III
Councilman Noloriel III
Yet

I believe theres one at left end room

Who know where can find them, pls post
And whats the end product?

OK , i finished the quest today

Councilman Caroeth III
Councilman Neyir III
Councilman Noloriel III

Those are in the upper left and right rooms of royal hall

the right upper room has 3 councilmen(Caroeth, Gwalnax,Neyir) the left upper room only has 1(Noloriel), and the position of councilman seems is FIX

After you combine the 8 bloods in the potion bag, you get a LORE item "Blood of Royals" its tradable, the bag wont disappear

NOW head to Palardiag Dax`Kunoksan

The combined "Shai`Din Ceremonial Blade" has no known use

Only need to turn in the "Blood of Royals"

Palardiag Dax`Kunoksan says 'I do not believe your service to my clan "your name", please take this as a token of my appreciation. You have done well."

NO FACTION HIT is GIVEN

you recieve "Flowing Cloak of the Shai'Din"
Magic Lore no-Drop
slot : Back

Wt: 0.8 Size: medium

After my shaman turn in the blood , i got a melee no drop cloak :(

Now look at the status of the cloak...
you need to kill 8 councilmen that hit for 47x, can only partially slow and summon, not to say their pop rate and locations...

I Use 2 months to camp these councilmen =(

Go buy a hiero claok or iksar hide cloak they are much better

Hello,
On my friends computer right now, but I originally posted the stats on safehouse...after talking with gm-admins about it (i.e. I was very upset and petitioning/feedbacking multiple times a day)they told me that this is the reward for the quest, there is no further advancement /shrug. If you would like to see this PoS cloak first hand I invite you to log on to the Stromm server and send Geoss a tell.

Best Regards,

Just like to make a little input here. Ok after having done this quest I noticed a few things #1 the quest directs you to an outside source killing in the highest faction modifying area. This would lead me to believe something to do with faction as they could have just as easily put the Council members say in Koro spawn room.

When I turned in my bloods and sword. (I actually got all faction back and was max ally Chardok.) BagaBones says "I do not believe your service to the cause" "here is a TOKEN of our appreciation" I got the PoS cloak.

I also got the SWORD and the BAG back Not to many quests I have completed, that I got all the stuff back I started the final step with, as a completion.

I dont know how long you have been playing EQ but I Have been awhile. When you get down to the muddy water. I have NEVER been told or advised that a quest is finished or broken....Period. That includes a period in time when GM's were available most anytime in the game. The only allowed and accepted statment I am allowed to believe Guides, (and you would really have to catch a true GM on a DAMN good day to even consider looking at a quest peition) are allowed to make is... and I know you have heard this... IT IS WORKING AS INTENDED!!!! Even when the quest or whatever is so broke that every player on the server knows it that is the answer you will get to that question...

Bagabones didnt have one congratulatory statment or woopeeee for doing CRAP all the others quests did.

There is however one thing that bothers me. When the zone first went live, the dizok looking critters were on Normal Chardok faction, and you recieved a Negative hit from them. This may have been a screwup OR it was a way to complete this quest, which DOES, by the way happen to be the LONGEST, and most diversified of the three quests.I am saying the councilman May have been intended for the counciltyope room that koro spawns in. and the mobs in there may at one time been meant to have opposite faction. After the first koro dropping and the buttheads that complained that it was to easy and a total embarassment blabla insert elemental equipped guildname here. They made koro near impossible for anything less than a 3-4 group encounter AND changed the faction.

You will notice while killing the councilmen that they are VERY near the mobs in koro's spawn room which by the way are the ONLY mobs I have killed in the whole zone that have NEVER once dropped a SINGLE piece of loot.

In summary Yes this may be the only reward. No I dont think it was the Intended reward. The only way to find out for sure is NOT BY ASKING A GM for one, the other is to MAX bottom chardok faction fight up with a group and CoH the quester to the questee in question. After that I will throw in the sadly disappointed TOWEL

(BTW I have all the bloods was just hoping someone would try this before I did =)

Just because devs dont like you doesnt mean they wont give and recieve input/suggestions/quest intent to the first person to complete said quest, especially while they are sitting there chatting with you the whole of the time you are doing it. And to respond to your question in regards to how long I have played, been on stromm since it opened over a year ago, of course I started on bertox the 1st day Everquest was released, right after finishing playing in beta 4, so a good long time Id say.

Hes been droppable with 1 non elemental group since the patch as well, you just need to use a little strategy and get a bard for resists.

Not named loot so to speak but I have looted a great many words/runes/compendium thingies off of them. Including 2x Toharon's Memoir 22 Left, and 1x Part of Yaeth's Compendium Pg. 73 right. 2x DI @ 150k + 1x RGC @ 200k helped my characters gear up rather well not to mention Rune of Scintillation among numerous other upper end ones that drop off of them. (stromm prices used to kickass on rare stuff, still does as its still rare for the most part, just overall inflation has caused many prices to fall in order to adjust). And every last one of these mobs is single pullable by any class in the game without even trying ~ btw for those whom dont know, korucust isnt even the deepest area in the dungeon, hell not even close, he resides about 1/2 way through, if even that.

Pop rates are fairly quick on the named same spawn timer as the rest of chardok with around a 1/3 chance of any one of them popping. Over bridge and enter the castle, go through the hallway to the stairs leading down. The bottom 2 are PH/named, the 2 straight ahead are named/ph, prior to going down those stairs you can veer left/right and go to one of those 2 doors. Left door spawns 2 as does the right...least thats if my memory is serving me correctly, it may be 1 in left, 3 in right, or 1 in left 2 in right and 1 downstairs to the rear left. /shrug its been to long, and havent been there in a very long time considering what a waste of time and energy it was.

Maybe do you need to be KOS to them so that he does indeed believe you. This way you might get a better reward, just a thought though.

# Sep 26 2003 at 5:37 AM Rating: Default
I want to see the reward for this one firsthand too. I have 5 of the 8 bloods, which I noticed I was not the only one stuck on this number. I still need bloods from Buzdarloan, Caroeth, and Garkerok. Are these the same bloods others are missing? I have noticed that certain spawn points seem to spawn certain councilmen. Laanari and Ysabrial spawn at the bottom of the steps as you come into the castle area. Neyir and Gwalnax spawn in the room on the entry level, on the right as you come in, with doorway on the balcony. The room on the opposite side is where I found Noloriel. I have seen repeats since I started this, always at the same spawn points. If anyone could let me know where they found the three that I missed I would much appreciate it. I will post any more info I come up with too.

I noticed that TrilaWhirlwind completed the blood portion of the quest and turned in the medicine bag. He was unable to turn in the do drop/ NO STATS Shai'Din Cerimonial Sword. Obviously the sword has to be turned in to someone somewhere? I'm at the councilor blood stage myself, and I'm just thinking the quest is either still broken or there is something more too it. I've explored the zone and only found 3 quest NPC's are we missing one perhaps or is the quest still broken...just something to ponder. Palardiag states we will be judged..I realize that quest npc is indifferent however is it possible that we need to have faction with Shai'Din, if so that would involve killin a hell of a lot of Critters in Chardok.

Edited, Mon Aug 18 09:28:04 2003
Yup

Agreed Shortfoot - must be the wrong reward. For a start, it isn't ALL/ALL like the other two big zone quests...

Well people I got all the bloods today and had to destroy a bit of chardok faction to do it and what did I get for my trouble for what is the hardest of all the quest to do? Well this is the Piece of crap you get.

Person that posted it on Safehouse was correct after all. I did not want to believe it was that piece of crap but I have it in my bank now where I hope one day I can get a chance to shove it right up some GMs ***.
Right Hilts Best Spot
# Aug 09 2003 at 11:32 AM Rating: Default
okay finally found the right hilts and best spot to get them.

Just go to pens and let the ghosts roam to you, only the ghosts seem to drop the right hilt. We got 4 in 2 hours at pens. just set up camp right in the path of the ghosts and was easy. If your group is strong enough to handle the adds that is :)

Going to start on Concilmen tomorrow and if I can get that done I will post or confirm what real item is.

just hope it is not that PoS cloak I posted below.

Someone posted that this info below is the final reward on Safehouse for this quest.

I for one do not believe this to be true till I see it posted by Allahkazams or others saying it is true.

The person that posted that was a new user to safehouse for one thing and I am not inclined to believe some punk kid having fun on a message board anyways. It may be the final item but till I see it myself in my hand I am in doubt. for one thing it does not even compare to the stats on the other items and this quest is the harder of the 3. makes no sense to me at all if this is it.

I would keep trying to complete quest till more people that have done it confirm this or not. I still can not find right hilt so I have not even started on concil men yet.

I tell you why i don't believe it its not all/all like all the other items that resulted from the quests here. Just my 2 cents.
Right hilt
# Aug 07 2003 at 1:40 PM Rating: Decent
Ok, once you turn in all the items you get a bag and a sword. Both trash and no drop. Fill the bag with blood of coucil members. follow past the falls and keep going down cant miss em. I have 5 of 8 bloods needed to finish quest. Council members are tuff enough. Very hard to split without FD'er so bring chanter or sk/monk or you gonna have problems. Tons of adds. There are traps in council rooms like in Chardok B which spawn like 2 to 5 adds so stay on main strip when going in coucil area. I should finish this quest up today and I hope it is less disappointing than that crap quest for range slot. Oh, hilts drop off any undead mob. For all quest peices kill undead. Staffs drop towards entrance tho. GL hope this helps
RE: Right hilt
# Aug 08 2003 at 12:41 PM Rating: Default
I thought the range slot item was not to bad at all. Not great but what you expect for a simple quest really :)

For a caster its not to bad and hell I will take nice resists anyday :)
RE: Right hilt
# Aug 07 2003 at 5:14 PM Rating: Default
Are council members not on chardok faction? IE. The same faction (brood of Di'Zok) that all the other mobs in chardok are on?

As for the hilt, turn in all of the Shai'Din pieces and you are given the complete no-drop ceremonial sword back + Shai'Din Medicine Bag, and he asks for you to combine the blood of the 8 councilmen into the medicine bag to make a tanning agent, which you must return along with the blade for him to 'Judge You'

I'm too lazy to post the exact text, but the Councilmen are obviously the new mobs that appear near the Chardok Royals now, I've gotten 1 No-Drop blood on my main before it was known what it was for. I don't intend on finishing this, so let us all know what it yields, hope this helps all of you =)
still not done
# Aug 06 2003 at 3:00 PM Rating: Default
ok right hilt dropped and upon turn in you get a 8 slot container called a SHai'Din medicine bag and asks for blood of all the counsil men so not complete but getting there.

right hilt and gem one
# Aug 04 2003 at 8:31 PM Rating: Default
Yeah right, when we see a completed item posted or a link in game then I will believe you. Till then I think you imagined it.

I have been at ever camp in that zone for at least 2 full days in each spot and I never have seen either right hilt or gem one. But I get tons of all the other parts over and over.

The item just is not in game yet period. So either let us know where he got the part at and what mob exactly dropped it or don't spread rumors.
Right hilt does exist
# Aug 02 2003 at 1:42 AM Rating: Default
One of my guild buddies got a right hilt a while back and the left hilt too.
