    This task begins with Citykeeper Nardic the Proud in the City of Dranik (located in one of the rooms near the zone-in). It follows the task "Favors of the Hopelost".

    You say, 'Hail, Citykeeper Nardic the Proud'

    Citykeeper Nardic the Proud says 'We have reached the limits of our tolerance with the leaders of the Acolytes of Despair. We have the proof we need that they are knowingly and willingly working to bring down the defenses of Dranik. You are asked to hunt down Balion, Urjek, and Veshlin and execute them.'

    You have been assigned the task 'A Limit to Despair'.

    Return to the lodging of the Acolytes of Despair. Kill Balion, Urjek, and Veshlin, and any Muramites who may try to stop you.



    Kill 1 Scion Balion 0/1 (City of Dranik)

    Kill 1 Urjek the Unsteady 0/1 (City of Dranik)

    Kill 1 Veshlin the Defamed 0/1 (City of Dranik)

    Veshlin and Urjek are found in the southeast room by the zone-in. Scion Balion is found in the middle of the three rooms in the north-central part of the zone.

    All three mobs are snareable, rootable, and do not summon. They hit for a max ~5,000. The only mobs that will assist are the other kill targets and the "a dragorn guardian"s that path to the mouth of their rooms (but will not enter). All of these mobs give negative hits to dragorn faction and positive hits for Discordian Army faction.

    As well, Veshlin the Defamed's corpse turns into "a kyv infiltrator's corpse" when he died, but the other two do not.

    Speak with Citykeeper Nardic 0/1 (City of Dranik)

    Citykeeper Nardic the Proud says, "It is done; the threat to the City from within has been dealt with, thanks to you. Any outcome that keeps us going for another day or two is a victory."

    Your faction standing with Herald Argoth got better. (+29 adjustment)

    At level 115, I got Herald Argoth +50

    also note, you lose 6 points of faction with Dragorn Forces by doing the required kills, so you may want to group with others and trade off who takes the faction hits.

    What level is the character that got the 41 faction hit and the same with the 43?

    Level 95 Sk did this task today first try i strait dps'd them with no kill updates wasnt sure if it was a over dps issue or hail issue so i re did the task haild prior to attacking them and hailed them 3-4 times during the process. I also slowed down dps and turned attack off to make the fight last a bit longer. Not sure if it was the hailing or slower dps but second time worked.
    very soloable

    Was kiting Veshlin and when I ran near Urjek, he agro'd and came after me. Once again I praise the creator of EVAC.

    Citykeeper Nardic the Proud in City of Dranik gives this task once you have completed the "Favors of the Hopelost" quest. He gives the quest when you hail him after this task is done (and any time after that until this task is done).

    Citykeeper Nardic the Proud says 'We have reached the limits of our tolerance with the leaders of the Acolytes of Despair. We have the proof we need that they are knowingly and willingly working to bring down the defenses of Dranik. You are asked to hunt down Balion, Urjek, and Veshlin and execute them.'

    Return to the lodging of the Acolytes of Despair. Kill Balion, Urjek, and Veshlin, and any Muramites who may try to stop you.

    Kill 1 Scion Balion 0/1 City of Dranik
    Kill 1 Urjek the Unsteady 0/1 City of Dranik
    Kill 1 Veshlin the Defamed 0/1 City of Dranik
    Speak with Citykeeper Nardic 0/1 City of Dranik

    All three mobs are snareable, rootable, and do not summon. The only mobs that will assist are "a dragorn guardian"s that path to the mouth of their rooms (but will not enter). All of these three mobs give -Dragorn Army and +Discordian Army faction hits (exact spelling may be off).

    As well, Veshlin the Defamed's corpse turned into "an kyv infiltrator's corpse" when he died, but the other two did not. I don't know if this was a bug (if all 3 were to do it, or none of them, or just Veshlin) though.

    Upon completion:

    Citykeeper Nardic the Proud says, "It is done; the threat to the City from within has been dealt with, thanks to you. Any outcome that keeps us going for another day or two is a victory."

    The task has a six hour timer to it. The reward is 45 Chronobines, faction with Herald Argoth, experience, and Chaos Crystal Chip.

    Forgot to mention that the task as a six hour limit to it as well. If you don't complete it in the given time, the task fails.
