Elddar Corruption #1: Investigating the Elddar
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This is the first group task in a series of three in which corruption among some Elddar elves is exposed. Completing this series of tasks will allow you to request the Corruption of Ro raid.
Find Shalowen the Pure in Elddar Forest at location -5, -127. You say, 'Hail, Shalowen the Pure' Shalowen the Pure says, 'Greetings _____, I am Shalowen the Pure. I often come here to pray for the [corrupted souls] that used to walk among us.' You say, 'What corrupted souls?' Shalowen the Pure says, 'Long ago there was a group of Elddar priests that would attend the temple with us. We are unsure of why they stopped coming around here. Would you be [interested in observing] them for me?' You say, 'I would interested in observing them.' You have been assigned the task 'Investigating the Elddar' (options are normal and hard difficulty). Investigate the upper levels of the tree - Tunare's Shrine When you zone in, you will be inside a tree. There is a spiral staircase that runs all along the edge of the tree. There are essentially five platforms inside this tree, each with 1 x "a priest of Ro" surrounded by multiple mobs, which can include "a corrupted warrior," "a corrupted cleric," "a corrupted druid," "a corrupted enchanter," "a corrupted shadowstalker," etc. The mobs do not respawn and are non-KoS to begin with. Since they are not aggressive, you can quickly run all the way to the top. Search the chest for information about the corrupted elves - Tunare's Shrine On the fifth platform is "a mystical chest," from which you must loot a Figurine of Ro (identifies as "An ancient figurine"), a 5-slot MEDIUM container. Once you loot it, all mobs respawn as KoS and some see invisible. The mobs have a fairly small aggro range, so you may be able to loot the figurine without getting attacked if you are careful. You can either keep your group at the top and kill your way down or keep them at the bottom and kill your way up. Seek out the corrupted priests for answers - Tunare's Shrine Kill each of the 5 x "a priest of Ro." Recover the missing pieces from the figurine - Tunare's Shrine Each priest drops a Stone of Corruption (identifies as "Carved from a figurine"). Place stones inside of the figurine - Tunare's Shrine Combine the five stones in the figurine to craft a Restored Figurine of Ro (identifies as "An ancient figurine restored to power"). Return the figurine to Shalowen the Pure - The Elddar Forest After the final turn-in, an old chest will spawn with additional loot. NOTE: In order to spawn the chest for the hard mission, it may be required for you to complete the easy version first... (details about this are sketchy...) You have successfully observed the Elddar and returned to Shalowen with information about them. Speak with Shalowen for further instructions. Possible Normal rewards Headband of the Corrupted Boots of the Tainted Soul Club of the Corrupted Knight Twisted Steel Katar Hard rewards Armguards of the Corrupted Mind Random rare drops Warped Pearl Bauble< | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

can also randomly drop.
After you return the figurine to Shalowen the Pure you receive the following text:
You have successfully observed the Elddar and returned to Shalowen with information about them. Speak with Shalowen for further instructions.

The above information is wrong. I have done the entire sequence of missions on easy and hard. The hard missions are currently not spawning chests after victory.
However, based on item analysis, the hard chests most likely contain:
Elddar Corruption #1: Investigating the Elddar -- an old chest
Armguards of the Corrupted Mind
Vile Wristraps
Blade of the Fallen Soldier
Elddar Corruption #2: Questioning the Priest -- a mystical chest
Twisted Chainmail Sleeves
Silk Bracer of the Unfaithful
Rotted Heart Death Staff
correct location of shalowen is 125, 5.
Just did the hard mission and no chest spawned near NPC or in the instance with loot.
Task Chest (that you open to start event) is called A Mystical Chest.
Upon win, no auto loot reward appeared in inventory and no Chest could be located in Instance or in Elddar, for my group.

"How are rewards obtained? Automatic for every member of groups? Final mob drop? A chest? How many items drop? "
We did the mission on hard setting ( 1 st time at all ) but we didnt get a reward, either from a corpse from a priest nor from a chest, cause no chest popped in the tree and also not at turn in Elddar Forrest.
I did petition this but guess what was the answer from GM :
"...... i looked into the problems u have and I could see u didnt get a reward for the mission and i saw that u have completed it on hard setting but u are missing steps on easy setting, so gather your friends and get the steps done "
WTF since when u need to run a mission easy to be rewarded in a hard setting afterwards ???

Since the GMs are morons. There's a bug going around that sometimes chests don't spawn when they're supposed to. Sounds like that's what happened. And even if you can convince them of that, they refuse to reimburse items that weren't looted, it's truly abysmal policy. We had the same thing happen with the chest containing berserker bones for SZ access and the response was: Oh, I see there was a bug and the chest didn't spawn, I can't reimburse items that were never looted, submit a bug report.

It is not up to the GM's to make these requirements in the game, that is the work of the developers, the GM's have to follow the game play, and instruct accordingly.

mission setting: easy
reward: Twisted Steel Katar
hand-to-hand weapon, dmg17, dly 19 class:monk,bst
effect: freezing strike I
str 11, dex 7, sta 3, cha 3,wis 8, agi 8, HP/mana/END 150
save vs f 10, dis 9, cold 8, magic 11, poison 12
recommended 70, required 66
Straightforward mission really, as some stated already.
At least on easy setting mobs were easy to split by monk or bard. Whilst the trash hits for a max of 1120, the priests of Ro hit for a little more, 1213 on our plate class (bard with maxed def). So nothing to get your knickers in a twist.
The con range was from blue to yellow, where all the priests of Ro would con yellow (that's to a level 70).
I would think it took about one hour to finish the task, maybe less.

This looks to be the first part of a series fo quests. I've done the first 2. After completing this mission you must return to the tree to kill a named mob to get information on how to make the key for the top floor.
The 3rd mission involves killing some named trees in The Eldar Forest, haven't finished this one yet, but I'm curious to know what the reward for finishing the mission series is . . .

The reward is access to the raid: Corruption of Ro. A 42 person raid of roughly Roughly Anguish level difficulty with DPoB Tier 1 level drops.
On that note, the third mission in the series is annoying. I don't know if it's intended to be done with multiple groups, but it took us 4.5 hours to finish and we had to call in extra help for one of the named trees. Having 10 adds pop on you that all AE for 800 and melee for almost 1k is pretty rough.

I suggest having a DA person go up top by himself and loot the item while using DA and run and zone out.
You will then start at bottom and work your way up clearing enough to pull the priests. The mobs have a fairly small agro range.
We got http://sio.midco.net/ernst1/EQpics/Armguards%20of%20corrupted%20mind.jpg on the hard mission.

I've completed this mission on easy and hard. Upon entering the tree, although the mobs are kos they do not attack. Familiarize yourself with the layout and find the chest. Upon looting the figurine from the chest (which is a 5 slot container), the mobs will now attack you. Needless to say, have one person go up and loot the chest and the rest stay invis and out of the way (some mobs see invis). I'd suggest someone loot that can FD or DA and zone out to lose aggro. Otherwise, drag the corpse back down and rez the lucky chest looter. From there, you need to kill 5 Priests of Ro and loot an item for the figurine container. There are 5 sections with many adds around the priests. If you have a good puller, you can split the priests, otherwise clear the adds at each level and take the priests from there. Once all 5 priests are down, combine the container and head back to Shalowen for your chest. Note, the chest pops next to Shalowen, no chest reward or individual reward for success ( like the 70.x missions in DoDH ).

ok, so i tried this with a 70 ench war mage bard shadowknight and cleric. We all buffed up and we went inside to find that none of the mobs were attacking.. so we explored a bit and somwhere along the line we found a chest. we were locked in a room with no way out, so we looted in the chest and all of a sudden everyhting jumped out at us... some hitting for 3k, our only mez was down in an instant. so let it be a leson....its not an easy task..
Ok this is how the mission works from my experiences
- Go to the top of the tree
- loot chest
- kill the priests
- loot the parts
- return to Shalowen
all mobs were white-red to a 70 and they were topled on to each other (for instance at ent there was 7 mobs)
PLZ also note that we were on easy
