This flags you to start the quest for the Epic 1.5 if you do not have Ragebringer (Rogue Epic 1.0).

Find "a shady Highpass citizen" (/waypoint -95, 425) in Highpass Hold. You need to talk to him; say "one," "two," or "three" to him; and purchase
the Gold-Leafed Urn he has for sale for approximately 2099 pp.



One

This task has you gamble away the urn in Highpass Keep at the tables. Go to Dealer Maeline near the guards/nobles (/loc?)
and give him the urn. Say "deal me a hand" until you get 2000 coins, at which point Guard Kovan turns his attention and emotes about nobles.
Cash out.


You have unloaded the stolen urn, completing the first task for the Smuggler's Camp.

(Need all dialogues and emotes.).


Two

This task has you search for Nichols. Go to the prison area near the warrior guild in Shar Vahl (/waypoint 100, -545, -236).
Talk to "a prisoner" in the cells there.


You say, 'Hail, a prisoner'

A prisoner leans forward and whispers, 'Psst, you'll never get the guards here to budge. They don't make deals, don't take bribes and they are
much too careful to catch by surprise. If you promise to help me, I can tell you [where to find the keys].'

You say, 'where to find the keys'

A prisoner nods and continues to whisper, 'Before we were brought to these cells, we were held in Katta briefly. I bet you'd find a keys to these
blasted cages and another key to our shackles there, and the best part is that the guards are much more careless... Are you with me?
[Do you understand]?'

You say, 'Do you understand'

A prisoner says, 'Lift the keys, kill them, whatever. I don't care. Just do it quickly and do it quietly. Don't know how much longer before they
move us to a new location. This may be our only chance to escape.'

Next, head to Katta, where you will find two guards at the TOP level. Guard Zimmer is in the western building at the very top (/waypoint -540, -1760),
and Guard Lennon is in the cemetery to the southeast at the very top (/waypoint 295, -820, +2).


Guard Zimmer sees through SoS (does not see through SoS Tier 2).
Sneak in through a hidden wall in the building and backstab him (you will kill him in one hit).
Loot a Rough-hewn Shackle Key.

Pickpocket Guard Lennon to get the Shar Vahl Cell Key, which is TEMPORARY and which identifies as
"This key might open the cells in Shar Vahl."

Head back to Shar Vahl. Make your way to "a prisoner", a human male that is sitting on the ground (/waypoint 103, -546, -235),
by unlocking the cell door with the Shar Vahl Cell Key. Hand the prisoner the "Rough-Hewn Shackle Key" and he will turn into Nichols.


You try the Cell Key on the lock and it's a perfect fit.
You have freed Nichols, completing the second task of the Smuggler's Camp.

Nichols unlocks his manacles and stands up. As he dusts himself off and stretches out his limbs, he greets you, 'Well met, Iven.
You have my thanks, but more importantly, I think you'll find that assisting our faction comes with great rewards.'

You gain experience!
You complete the trade with Nichols.


Three

Follow the dialogue and get a Sealed Silver Package.

Head to Qeynos. No matter how you zone in, you will be placed in the same spot in the northeast part of the zone.

You need to sneak into Crow's Tavern in North Qeynos. Hang out in the corner near the Priest of Discord and learn the guards' movements.
Guards include Elite Guard Lika, Elite Guard Sarve, Elite Guard Inski, and Elite Guard Lewot. Sneak inside (look out for the Lewot inside).

Use the door that leads to the hidden wall to go to the hidden rogue guild, and hide there until the guards path past.
Once a guard is near the door standing still, give the package to Crow. You have completed this task.


You have smuggled the mysterious package into Qeynos, completing the third task for the Smuggler's Camp.

(Need all dialogues, names of guards involved, locations, etc.)

Finale

Head back to the shady highpass citizen and say "done." If you have not yet done your epic 1.0, he will shake your hand and welcome
you to the Circle of Unseen Hands a la Stanos.

Need all dialogues, exact names of mobs, /locs, faction hits if any, etc.

1. Both Guards in Katta are on the ground lvl not the TOP lvl as posted. Also if your looking in any building for Lennon your wrong, he is in the graveyard where the gargoyle building is to the left kneeling down by a grave.

2. When doing part 3, IF YOU DO DIE you must return back to the shady highpass citizen and get your box to hand back to Crow again. The Elite Guards will eat your turn in when they kill you. *Note* The guards will kill you within 1-2 hits. 8k a hit depending on your aa's/lvl/gear.

3. I got a CoTH straight into the room with Crow, my mage waited till he pathed to the door CoTH'ed me and i spun around and handed in followed by a Gate Potion for a quick evac.

Ok, just completed the Third Task, where you have to give Crow a package but have to get past Elite guards that see through SoS.

Well, here is how I did it. First of all you will have to be level 60+. This is a must. 2nd, get a mage that can cast Call of Heroes. Third, go to spiritshroud keepers and turn into a lvl 60+ earth elemental Fighter. Don't worry about setting up AAs. All you need to do is set up Hotkey for Monster Ability Plane Shift: Ethereal. This make you invunerable for 30 seconds.

Now with the package zone into North Qeynos with mage. Have mage go to Crow's bar and through the secret door in back left room. Have him go partly down the stairs and then have him cast Call of Heroes.

Now before you go all the way up the stairs, because the elite guards can see through the secret door, activate Plane Shift: Ethereal. Run to Crow, give him the box, once you get the message that completes the task, Run to South Qeynos zone behind the building you are in.

And there you have it

When I went today they did not see through SOS, so this may have been changed.

You /conned the incorrect NPC's then... There are at least 6 Elites I have counted, and they ALL see thru SoS. This is the worst part to try and do solo... GL
Task One

You can cash out before 2000 coins. It just have to be after he emotes about the nobles. For me that was at 1900.
Shady citizen and failing #1
# Feb 07 2007 at 4:48 PM Rating: Decent
If you fail quest number 1 the shady citizen has to respawn before he gives you another chance to buy the urn as he only has one in stock... and I've failed 3 times so I'm not a very happy camper... So don't fail.. and if you do, take a break before you try and get one again; or you'll be sitting there for quite awhile cursing at him to give you the urn again.

Skill Required to pick pocket

I just attempted this and i thought it was worth mentioning that at 158 PP skill i got the key from the guard.
Guard Zimmer and Lennon

The trick to Guard Zimmer is to use your sneak attack, which guarantees a Backstab.

Now my question is about Guard Lennon. What skill level do you need to Pick Pocket him? I have a skill of 220 and nothing after about 40 tries.

Update: Finally was succeful pickpocketing Guard Lennon with a skill level of 242, and even then it took awhile.

The prisoner you do the turn in for Part 2 in Shar Vahl:
I just did this and the prisoner is not visible until you open the cell door. However, he is located in the far left cell as you come down the stairs. Once the door is open, the prisoner will appear and you just hand him the rough hewn shackle key.

The thrid task....
# May 30 2006 at 4:28 PM Rating: Decent
Everytime you die, you have to go back to the shady citizen in HHP and get the package. I guess the guards loot it when they kill you. So try not to die.
Guard Zimmer? Wtf?
# May 29 2006 at 3:20 PM Rating: Decent
I'm guessing its a stroke of luck if you kill Guard Zimmer with one backstab. Maybe they should update that part.

I finally found him with my rogue, came up behind him and BS'ed, well tried to. He hit me for 9k killing me. I guess IF you hit him, you will kill hit with one hit. That is kind of different from You WILL kill him with one hit.

+293 / -820 / +2.

If you come from Teneb Mountains he's in the mansion directly in South East. Enter the house, stay left (do not go through the second door) and go through the fake wall between the two shelves on the south side.

I hit him for 102.616; more should be possible with buffs :)

1.5/2.0 Prequest?
# Feb 25 2006 at 1:33 AM Rating: Decent
Whats the point of this? is this merely for faction or what? I not see a reward and don't see the need for doing this or this is soe's idea of giving of rogues more stuff to do?

I've already done my 1.0 and my faction is kindly in high keep and all major epic npc's. All the npc's involved in 1.5/2.0 talk to me nicely. lol

I was kos before I started my epic. but then I did a faction quest I found in north qeynos. The funny thing is, you dont even have to complete it.
You go to the first npc and get cards and hand them to the second npc over and over. I actually was handing 8 bags of cards at a time in to him.
You just say the phrase "What is the shipment?" to
Knargon Lanenda in North Qeynos over and over again till you fill your bags with Bent Playing Card, then go outside gates to a delf who only spawns at night named Jracol Brestiage. Since you're a rogue, you can be
kos to this guy and still hand in from behind.

Guards in KC

Ok, I looked over hell and half of Georgia for Zimmer and Lennon and could not find them anywhere. I'm 99% sure I was even in the right buildings. Are they on a spawn timer or maybe somewhere hidden?

Both locations in previous post were right. Guard Lennon is in a small graveyard and guard Zimmer is behind a glass in a small room. You need to enter in the building and go thru a fake wall

# May 29 2006 at 3:59 PM Rating: Decent
Lennon is on a spawn timer i believe. Either that or running around the Graveyard will trigger him, since there were a few emotes I noticed. The loc is right. If he isn't there then he will be. He kneels at the grave. just pick pocket him. Simple.
Task 3
# Jan 31 2006 at 1:35 PM Rating: Decent
When you zone in Qeynos with the box in your inventory, you will warp on NE corner of the map and elite guards will pop. They see thru SoS and will charge you on sight. They hit for 8-11k and should kill you in 1 single blow so you don't want any aggro. There is guards inside and outside the city. They will con ready to attack to you only , all others will be ally.

Get someone to assist you on this task. Pull all the guards outside and kite them around while the rogue sneaks in and hand the box to Crow.

You have smuggled the mysterious package into Qeynos, completing the third task for the Smuggler's Camp

Is there more than one possible cell key? The cell I found it opens does not have the right prisoner in it. And the other prisoners cell door won't open.

You say, 'Hail, a prisoner

a prisoner leans forward and whispers. Psst, you'll never get the guards here to budge, they dont make deals, don't take bribes and they are much to careful to catch by suprise. If you promise to help me, I will tell you [where to find the keys].
