Dragons of Norrath Progression (Evil)  

Was able to complete all of T5 after the token hand-in that got me to warmly (had already done the group task and raids, just handed in the raid drops).

Just did this recently,

I counted 25 goblins killed (any type: champion, sneak, shaman, evoker) to get the Task Master to spawn. This is pretty much accomplished by killing goblins that stand in your way to other end of zone (from south to north), without having to take detours into side rooms, but killing a few roamers as well as the static spawns.

The 9 guards needed on your way back don't need to be tracked... They are also right on the way from north to south. Only concern for smaller parties is that there will probably be respawns of the regular goblins as well as those guards to deal with. Might be easier to run for the exit, zone out, and clear back towards the guards, since they are easier to single pull when they are facing away from you :)

Good luck :)

Here is a revamped version of the initial dialogue for the Evil Progression. I would like to submit this to Allakhazam's but I would like some opinions on it.

-----------

The Dark Reign camp (loc +3074 -319 +42) can be found in the Lavastorm Mountains tunnels leading to The Broodlands.

In order to begin more advanced tasks within the Dark Reign camp, you must be of indifferent faction or higher. You can reach this faction by doing various solo and group tasks. Wayfarers Mercenaries Varein and Jeryx give out solo tasks on behalf of the Dark Reign at the Wayfarers Camp in Lavastorm (loc +2252 -36 +72). Upon completing solo tasks you receive platinum and receive the following faction hits:

+ Dark Reign
+ Lanys T`Vyl
- Norrath's Keepers
- Firiona Vie


Once your faction increases enough you can get solo and single group tasks at the Dark Reign Camp from Daleynn Spiritshadow, Pericolo L’Morte, Celrak Blightblood and Talontar. You may only receive group tasks yourself if you are already at indifferent faction, but if you complete them with someone else, you will receive Ebon Crystals which are droppable and can be used to purchase items from Xeib Darkskies, and a Dark Reign Token, which you can turn in to Xeib Darkskies for the aforementioned faction hits. If Xeib Darkskies will not accept your Dark Reign token, you can give it to Wayfarer Mercenary Limann. Eventually Xeib Darkskies will accept your token.

Thanks for your help on this!

I was wondering what faction was needed for the evilside Tier2?
i have done all tier on the good side with my main but trying it now for my war alt, hes indiff and tier 1 worked.

can be located at 2243 / neg 55

About half way between Nagafens and Lavaspinners on a hill top

Is it possible to get all your rewards from the good, then start helping evil peeps with their missions and be able to eventually do evil progression? Be cool to get all the things like the 10 points to all stats or the buff slot a second time.

Beware! You do not turn in the Emoush piece to the Commander. If you do, this is what happens: You don't get the AA's, or the spell, or the 250 to Mana, HP, and End. You don't even get the Glowing Stone Fragment back. You have to petition to get it back. Once I figure out who the correct NPC is, I will repost.

EDITED=========================
I did not have the Drake Egg mission done when I turned in my Emoush. After doing the Drake Egg, I hailed the Commander and got my rewards. Sorry for the confusion.

Yar'Lir turn in "End to the Storms" (4th AA) gives 2aa's not 4 as a reward (At least I only got 2)

Okay I did this last night. I couldn't find any walk thru for it... so here it is.

Our first group make up. All 70

Cleric Berserker Warrior Bard Ranger Chanter.

We wiped three times to adds at the entrance because the bard was EBAY and had admittedly been playing only 3 days.

We learned some important info.
1. Cleric Goblins can gate.
2. When they do gate, they dont always go to the same spot they usually bring 2-3 friends.
3. The mobs are kitable.
4. All caster mobs see invis (shaman, cleric, evoker)
5. Placate (Highest level cleric pacify) works but if resisted will get bukoo aggro.

Second group make up-

Cleric Berserker Warrior Ranger Chanter Monk. All 70

Monk had very little problems single pulling. He did such with style and ease. The Cleric ended up DPSing most of the fights.. with single pulls the Goblins never got the tank under 80% health without heals. Would Throw on a HoT every couple fights.

You are going to head north, straight north from entrance to get to the named Goblin Taskmaster.

Clearing the drakes. Even though you can invis past them I suggest killing them all. This courtyard is a great pulling area and has room to kite if you dont have someone to mez adds.

There are only about 5-8 Drakes and they respawn something around 18 minutes giving us plenty of time to clear the first corridor and move past.

In each square corridor you have 1 goblin on each side, and 4 total in each corridor, with usually 2 guarding each entry/exit and 1-2 roamers.

There are 8 possible goblins on each of the 2 corridors, hard to see and hard to target without getting aggro from at least 4 of them.

Don't try running through them invis. Just don't.

To make this simple. Just have a good puller that can split. Take your time. Kill them one by one and walk it through. If you kill your way through you should be able to clear to the giant courtyard with few problems.

The Giant Courtyard in the middle of the zone is a breeze... Just go straight up the middle. Perhaps three kills and you can bypass all the mobs on the side.

You go through the next corridor and you will have the taskmaster at the end of it. This sucker has no less than 150k HP. He did about 1/3 more damage than a normal Goblin, but aside from the long time it took to kill him, he was a push over. We were never in any risk of losing this battle.

Kill the Guards. If that wasn't enough... you now have to fight your way back to zone dealing with repops.

Here you need to kill 9 guards that have spawned. You will take the exact same route and use the exact same single pull method.

My biggest suggestion is to NEVER stop in a corridor on your way back, always pull to the front or back of one or to the giant courtyard. But things can get hairy with respawns in the corridors.

After you've killed the final guard you can just zone it's over.

This took us 2 and a half hours total. We lost an hour and a half with the first failed group with 3 wipes. Then we took 1 hour with a good puller and did it right.

Now that I know the mission I could probably do it in 30-40 minutes. The mobs were super simple kills as long as single pulled.

At the time of this post, one thing that isn't made clear -- is that the "progression" is a faction progression. Each Tier of the progression is a faction gain (Tier 1 = Indiff, Tier 2 = Amiable, etc.).

You must be Level 65 as well.

It also appears that if you do one of the "final" tier missions in advance (that do not require you do a turn in) with someone else -- you are credited with it and do not have to do it again. Example -- I did "Have Note Will Travel" with a Guildie long before I was Indifferent. After I made Indifferent -- and did the 3 tasks -- I recieved the free AA and Ability without having to do it again.

Further -- I was not the person who looted the note -- so it appears the whole group get credit.

Lastly -- the only reward listed here is the Cleric spell (as of this typing). I know Paladins get their Level 69 Tome as well.

I am slowly putting together a Progression page on my site....

Confirming that high amiable faction was enough to receive:
"Muddy the Waters"
"Snowfoot attack"The Ascent
"Knowledge is Power" Knowledge from Thundercrest Isles
After completing these solo tasks, high amiable was still able to acquire:
"The Gilded Scroll"
"Volkara's Bite"
"Trial of Perseverance"

I believe that once you reach indifferent faction, you cannot advance further until you make it to level 65 (or perhaps 64.) I'm level 63 right now, just made indifferent faction, and Commander Zaerr Ty'Dar says "Your skill and experience suggests you are barely qualified to polish my boots! Be gone from my sight, foolish weakling! Should you ever grow up, then maybe I'll look in your direction again."

I'm guessing its level 65, since level 64 would just be kind of an... odd... level to set it at. I'll update this again later when I can get missions.

I have "good" characters that I multibox. I would like one to get evil faction so it can get evil adventures. Is that even possible, or is a good character always kos in an evil camp?

I think I need some help with this too if I am going to continue to work the DoN progression. It seems that prior to the server mergers (Povar and Morden Rasp mergeed I believe it was the 11th of April) it seems that a few of my guildies were working DoN progression/faction quite nicely.

Since then, I, a Human Paladin, have taken the advice of some of my friends and have focued most of my non-raiding time on doing Evil DoN tasks and missions (when those with the correct faction are on and will have me). Our guild decided to do the Evil faction, which means most of us have a bit more work to do than working the Good side. I started out what I believe was Apprehensive to the Good side and I know for a fact that I was "Threatengly" to the Evil side.

So far to get from Threatengly to Dubious - I did 2 Spider Web collect tasks, 2 Drake Blood collect tasks and was part of the "Have note will travel" mission.

Since then i ahve done 0 Spider Web collect tasks, 4 Drake Blood collect tasks, 1 Kill 20 stillmoon creatures task, 8 Drake Egg missions (side benefit of doing all this is the crystals for gear ) and killed 2 Good guards in my spare time. I have been keeping CLOSE tabs on all the faction hits (wanting and have been getting Evil faction) and rewards for each thing I have done. My question is - what does it take as far as number of missions/tasks to move from dubious to apprehensive to indifferent?

I have talked with a number of friends and guildies that have made it to indifferent and some others that are amiable. All feel that the amount of work I have done should at LEAST get me to apprehensive if not to indifferent by now. I understand that race plays a slight bearing on your "starting" point, but even Elf Druids and Human Bards should start at the same place as I.

One note to this is that I have done only 3 of the 4 different evil tasks available at the Wayfarer's camp. Do i have to complete all 4 at least once or is there something else at play here?

Thank you and frustrated,

Valero Marcinko
Human Paladin of the 69th Order
Povar/Morden Rasp

I cleared the whole zone and no emote or named. I looted 4 Labor and inventory documentation and 2 each of Expended scroll of dissolution, and Expended scroll of deadly shock. They all dropped off trash. I have not seen any emote or anything and have been sitting in an empty zone for over an hour. Any ideas what I did wrong?

I had to lev over a huge door to get to one of the Kirin, after they were all dead nothing, so that was when I cleared the rest of the zone. Any help would be appreciated.

So whats the word? Anyone got any info on Tier 4 yet? I have completed tier 3 and have the Meditation Stone, but not sure what to do with it..

Also note that anyone at that stage in progression will get credit for "have note will travel" upon completion. So, you can get your friends together that are at that stage and all complete it at once.

You say, 'Hail, Wayfarers Mercenary Limann'
Wayfarers Mercenary Limann says 'Me and me sister have got a great thing going here. We easily can play both sides of the fence with these camps and earn a good amount of coin. As long as neither knows we are relations, we can continue this forever! I've been bringing tokens of the Dark Reign to them and they seem to enjoy getting them, and pay us fairly well. So, if you give me one, I will be able to spin a tale that will put you in a favorable light.'

You will get faction hits for:
+Dark Reign
+Lanys T`Vyl
-Norrath's Keepers
-Firiona Vie

Have Note Will Travel:

Boss name = Goblin Task Master
Kills: At least 27. I was the group's puller, so was out of range of a few of the "mob has been slain" messages. Probably a round number like 30 or 35.

The item to be looted is a "Letter from Tirranun"

After this is looted, you have to kill 9 "A Delve guard"s on the way back to the zonein of the instance. Only one person needs to zone out via the door, so after you kill the 9 Guards (which are all on the way back towards the zonein in clumps of 3,) have someone kamikaze run or flop back to zonein if you have a porter in the group.

After that, just turn in the note to the NPC it tells you to (sorry, don't have the name,) and you win.
