This quest is for the Shadowknight spell Life Leech.

It begins with Kazzel D`Leryt in the Mountains of Rathe (he roams the southeast part, south of the Feerrott zoneline), who will not speak with you unless you are at least level 50.

If you are not level 50, here is his response.

Kazzel D`Leryt says, 'Begone you pathetic bug. You are not worthy of my presence.'

If you are level 50 and above,

Kazzel D`Leryt says, 'Finally, a servant worthy of my needs! Apparently you are of high status, which perhaps means you might know a master [jeweler] capable of faceting a very magical, yet fragile stone?'

He tells evil-aligned characters to give him 2,000pp in exchanged for an Uncut Hyacinth to be etched by a gnome shopkeeper named Darfumpel (also in the Mountains of Rathe). He tells you the gnome does not like the necromantic arts, so you will have to conceal your identity when dealing with him. Despite this warning, most evil characters seem to be able to talk to Darfumpel without a problem. (Need dialog)

  • Give him 2000pp.

    Upon turn in:

    Kazzel D`Leryt says, 'Very well, ______. Take this gem to a master jeweler and return it to me with the other three items.'

    Kazzel tells you to bring back: - (Need this dialog)

    1) The Faceted Hyacinth;

    2) A gold necklace like the purest snow (the White Gold Necklace found on the Froglok Noble in Lower Guk);

    3) An orb of the purest crystal (the Crystalline Orb from the Stone Spider in Nagafen's Lair); and

    4) The blood of Xenyari the druid. He tells you that the blood must be voluntarily given by Xenyari, so killing her will not suffice.


    To get the Faceted Hyacinth, talk to Darfumpel. An Ogre SK worshiping Cazic-Thule, he will con indifferent to you.

    You say, 'Hail, Darfumpel Zirubbel'

    Darfumpel Zirubbel says, 'Hail, Thiccboi. I am Darfumpel, master jeweler and proprietor of this shop. How might I assist you today? Perhaps you need a stone [cut] or some jewelry [repaired]?'

    You say, 'hyacinth'

    Darfumpel Zirubbel says, 'A hyacinth, eh? That is quite a rare stone. Quite fragile and easily shattered, too. With my new technique, I can assure you I will not destroy the gem, however, it will cost you. 1000 platinum coins is my fee. Provide me with the coin and the gem and I will cut it for you.'

  • Give him a hyacinth and 1,000pp.

    Darfumpel Zirubbel says, 'I have not seen a gem such as this in quite some time! It was not since I dabbled in a bit of necro? Wait? What are you going to use this for? Never mind. I do not wish to know. Here, take your gem and leave!'

    You receive a Faceted Hyacinth.

    You may also do the combine yourself in a jewelry kit, trivial is at 235 and the Gem Cutter is not returned, even on failure. - (Recipe)

    To get the blood you must bring Xenyari Lisariel a Prickly Pear. The prickly pear drops off of an ice terror, one of Lady Vox's guardians. Be careful and place it deep in your inventory or you might eat it before you return it. As you hand in the pear:

    Xenyari Lisariel says, "Prickly Pears! I just love Prickly Pears!! Thank you so much for getting these for me. I really, really appreciate your gift and I shall not OWW!! I hate when I stick myself with the needles. Oh look, I am bleeding now. Sigh. Can you hold this note for a moment please? My hands are full and I must clean up."

    You receive a Bloodied Piece of Parchment.

  • Take the Faceted Hyacinth, note, necklace, and orb to Kazzel. In exchange, he gives you a Faceted Hyacinth Talesm.

    Upon turn in of the items.

    Kazzel D`Leryt says, 'You are quite cunning. After I fashion this telesm, take it back to Xenyari. She would 'enjoy' another 'gift,' eh?'

    You receive a Faceted Hyacinth Talesm.

  • Take this item to Xenyari.

    Upon turn in,

    Xenyari Lisariel bounces around with glee at the sight of your gift, smiles at you, and dons the telesm. As she clasps the telesm around her neck, she begins to writhe in agony, and slowly fades from sight leaving just the telesm, which is now pulsating with vibrant energy.

  • Loot Pulsating Hyacinth Telesm from Xenyari's corpse and bring it to Kazzel D`Leryt.

    Kazzel D`Leryt laughs heartily and whispers to you, 'Well done, worm, your servitude to my will has now expired...'

  • Upon turn in a level 53 zombie called "a monstrous zombie" spawns and attacks. Kill it, loot a Monstrous Zombie Heart, and give it to Kazzel to receive your spell.

    Kazzel: Kazzel D`Leryt says, 'Oh! Umm... Well, I was just playing with you. Certainly you know I was joking! We had a deal and I will abide by the terms of our agreement. Here is my payment for your services. Bye...'

    Icy Terrors?

    I will have the necklace and orb shortly and will begin to plan to get the pear with some guild help. I have seen several things around the net about where to find icy terrors, including the post by Kardvyne about dropping into the polar bear traps. I have very little experience in Perma and have found it difficult to find a map that shows where these traps are and more details about what's down there. Could someone please direct me where to go to find a detailed map or post some more info?

    Thanks,

    Update - Just finished the quest.

    You can find Kazzel wandering around by the undead ruins in Rathe Mtns. Just stand on top of the hill looking down on the ruins and keep watching, you'll see him.

    Darfumpel is in a hut near the Inn, and conned indifferent to me. Had no trouble getting him to talk to me or etch the stone.

    Although there are some Icy Terrors down in the pits with the polar bears, it is NOT necessary to go down there. Get a map to Permafrost. Kill Diplomat and the first couple of giants behind him. Do not go past the gate in Diplomat's room. Instead, take the passage to the right. You will see a giant wooly spider. Pull him to your awaiting friends in the king room. If you get poisoned, don't worry, it's weak. Go back down that hall towards the pit traps. Pull the Magus to your friends in the king room. Next, be very careful and follow your map, avoiding the pit traps. Follow the hallways that DO NOT have pit traps and you should find an icy terror. If you hit him and run back the direction you came, you can pull him to king room also. This is much easier than trying to keep a group from falling in the pits. Lev really helps if you can get it. Be careful to hit the terror once and begin to run down a hall with no traps because they will fling you across the room like the TT's in Najena, and if they fling you into a pit trap, you're a goner.

    Xenyari runs around the unkempt druid rings. Might take you a few minutes to find her, but keep running around up there, she's there.
    When you give the talisman to Xenyari and it kills her, it does NOT aggro any druids, so no worries there.

    We had severe overkill on the Monstrous Zombie (who looks like a Giant Skel). I talked to several people who said that they killed him with one well balanced 50+ group. We had 2 full groups of 50-57 and owned him. Be careful that your party does NOT target Kazzel.

    If anyone has questions, contact me on CT server.
