    This is a shared task and begins with Severilous in the Field of Scale.

    You say, 'Hail, Severilous'

    Severilous says 'What do you want, worthless beast? If you have anything to [offer] us other than the meat on your bones, you'd best tell me about it now.'

    You say, 'I have something to offer'

    Severilous says 'Hah! You would offer your help to us! You should tell that to Trakanon. He has a great sense of humor. He might even laugh once before eating you. Be gone, worthless wretch. Go [kill some] of those fool Iksar if you would be of use to me. Then perhaps I will use your flesh to [feed] my racnar.

    You say, 'I'll kill some of them'

    You have been assigned the task 'Drake Scourge'




    Severilous has asked you to put an end to, or at least a crimp in, the Iksar attempts to torture his kind. The pain they have caused his kin is terrible, and the draconic need for revenge is great.

    Bring back four scourge tails from the Kaesora library as proof of Severilous' vengeance being quenched, and see that the skull of one of their warlocks or defilers is returned as well.

    Kill several an Imperial scourge and until you loot 4 Iksar Scourge Tails 0/4 (Kaesora Library)

    Kill a corrupt defiler, or a corrupt heretic, or a corrupt warlock and loot 1 Darkened Drake Skull 0/1 (Kaesora Library)

    Deliver 4 Iksar Scourge Tails to Severilous 0/4 (Field of Scale)

    Deliver 1 Darkened Drake Skull to Severilous 0/1 (Field of Scale)

    The items in the above-two steps can be pre-looted.

    The Scourge tails drop from "an Imperial scourge", and are pretty common, while the Darkened Drake Skull is a little more rare. It drops off "a corrupt _____" iksar mobs (robed necromancers): a corrupt warlock, a corrupt heretic, a corrupt defiler.

    Turn those in to open up the next step:

    Find the necromancer responsible for cursing the skull 0/1 (Kaesora Library)

    You receive the skull back. This part of the task may be bugged (the skull offers no help in determining which mob to kill). You'll need to kill "a corrupt _____" mobs until one emotes upon its death:

    You feel the curse on the skull drain away as the iksar necromancer dies.

    Deliver 1 Darkened Drake Skull to Severilous 0/1 (Field of Scale)

    Reward:
    A number of Chronobines (varies)
    Faction with Tynoc, Herald of Scale
    Experience (somewhere around 3-4% reg. xp at level 81)
    Iksar Left Foot Bones
    Rewards:

    Small Mistakes
    # Jan 10 2024 at 7:11 PM Rating: Decent
    A few things seem wrong/missing in the description:
    - I was able to request this at level 75 (didn't try before that; but, didn't have to wait for 80)
    - this is a Time Group task (not sure on minimum number of players; 1 may be correct, but the entire group gets the task)
    - Time Limit is 6 hours, which seems to be standard for this kind of task these days
    Maybe

    Idk if anyone is going to care at this point in EQ, but... I had shared task on lvl 80, and used a 120 to clear out mobs for the Currupt whatever. It never updated killing with 120. So I used the 80 to kill 1 of the currupt mobs (Defiler) and it updated, kill may done by the one with task.

    Did you damage the mobs with the 80 that the 120 was killing?

    Also of note that the third step of this "find the necromancer responsible..." can also be done ahead. I had found quite a few of the skulls I needed from warlock's, but had a difficult time finding the scourge tails. During the course of clearing the very bottom of the pit to the east, I managed to get a task update for the necromancer even though it wasn't even a visible option while I was trying to find my last two tails. I ended up with steps 1/2/4 visible, which were all of the turn-in's, but the third one was question marks. When I went to Severilous to do the turn-in's I gave him the tails, then the head and he gave it back and I gave it to him again, and it updated the third step, then updated the fourth step, and I got credit as expected, no problems.

    So, for those as confused as me by the task, which says it's in "Field of Scale", there are no mobs in the zone by the names we're looking for. They're actually located in the Kaesora Library, by going in, then left at the first fork, and work your way to the pit further in, and go down tot eh bottom to find them.

    Added steps to the quest to make the quest a little more clear.

    I have tried doing this quest twice now with a 1 year interval in between. The first time I gave up because I found better sleeves in the Bazaar than I would have gotten from the Hero's progression achievement. This time I was doing it for 2 alts and when I finally got down to the pit area there was only 1 Imperial Scourge and I needed 8 tails.

    So unless you enjoy spending endless hours farming drops it's better to just farm items for gold and wait for something to show up in the bazaar.

    a lot of tasks give worse rewards the more often they are completed in game to prevent a single one being done a bunch of times in a row for the rewards

    some suggestions:

    say "special" to Tynoc before doing any task anywhere in SoD, always worth seeing if that day's bonus task will double your rewards

    you can complete the entire task without leaving the zone fairly quickly at the "stage" camp, with the bonus of having several named nearby for loot/essences

    kill scourges for the 4 tails, kill corrupt types for skull, then keep killing corrupt types; eventually you'll see another update that won't appear yet on list

    return to sev, hand tails in, hand skull in, Sev returns skull, hand skull in again, done

    right at 300 chronos for completion

    from zone in if u head east at the fork and run to the round room have levi on and drop down to the very bottom of the pit in center of the room take the tunnel to north that least east to a big room in this room and the two rooms off to the east of this room i found 5 scourge spread out thru the part from where the water starts. if u set up on the ramp leading down to the water u can start clearing there seems to be safe area not seen any roamers comning thru while i was checking out stuff in the area for group to go back later for our loots. gl if u doing this mission. maybe more spawn when we start killing will post if see more spawns if we have to kill more than 5 of these.

    Okay the full steps are :

    Deliver 4 Iksar Scourge Tail to Severilous (he will take these)
    Deliver 1 Darkened Drake Skull to Severilous (he will return it to you and update task)
    ??? Becomes Find the necromancer responsible for cursing the skull (appears after step 1 and 2)
    ??? Deliver 1 darkened drake Skull to Severilous (appears after step 3 update)

    You can get step 3 before it appears. You will need to kill a corrupted warlocks until you get this update the rest can be pre looted.

    Had first a skull from lower trash,

    Then moved to arena, started farming tails, then another skull dropped of higher trash as it died a task update happened, and one of the two ??? lines became a double of turn in skull

    Due to lore could not loot second skull and when later on 4 tails and 1 skull weere turned in (still one line was ???) we got mission completed,

    we had 2 turn in 1 skull lines, the skull was turned in, given back to player by sev then turned in a second time.

    This is a weird task.

    Also timer is unlimited the task is noted as group but you can get it solo.

    Once you obtain the mission (it appears as a group mission), the first two parts of task are:

    Deliver 4 Iksar Scourge Tails to Severilous (0/4) - Field of Scale
    Deliver 1 Darkened Drake Skull to Severilous (0/1) - Field of Scale

    The Scourge tails drop from "an Imperial scourge", and are somewhat common (killed 7 of them to get all four), while the Darkened Drake Skull is a little more rare. It dropped off "a corrupt warlock" for us, but don't know if it is a random drop from necromancer-type mobs (a corrupt warlock, a corrupt heretic, a corrupt defiler, an Imperial scourge) or just off the warlock.

    Once those are turned in, the next part of the task is:

    Find the necromancer responsible for cursing the skull. (0/1) - Kaesora Library

    You also receive the skull back. Gotten conflicted reports about how to update this part of the task (like you have to kill the same necromancer-type mobs that drop the skull), but it updated for us by killing "a corrupt defiler". We got an emote when it died (can't find it in logs though) and the task updated, with the last part of the task being:

    Deliver 1 Darkened Drake Sukk to Severilous (0/1) - Field of Scale

    Our reward was:

    279 Chronobines (could be random)
    Faction with Tynoc, Herald of Scale
    Experience (somewhere around 3-4% reg. xp at level 81)
    Iksar Left Foot Bones

    Don't have dialogue for requesting the task though.
