This is a special raid in the style of the Living Legacy raids, which became available April 13, 2009 as part of EverQuest's 10th Anniversary events. It periodically becomes available on live servers for weeks at a time. For much of the year, it is not available.

In 2014, it will be available from November 12 through to December 10.

It begins with Grusal the Emissary of Rallos in the Plane of Knowledge.

Here, you'll have to kill about 21 dragons total. The description from the 10th Anniversary Website:

Mighty beasts and children of the crystalline goddess Veeshan, dragons have always commanded respect and fear from Norrathian adventurers. For years, would-be dragon slayers have coveted their glittering hordes and feared their crushing claws. Prove your mettle in the newest encounter for the 10th anniversary. Make your way through the dragons of Norrath, starting with Lord Nagafen and culminating with the mighty Kerafyrm. Group and raid-sized versions both promise to test the abilities of all levels of adventurers. Top the leaderboard with your fastest time!

The reward is a Gold Plated Contact Spring Model of varying power, depending on how many dragons your group or raid manages to kill.

There is a second reward, Gold Plated Spiked Gear Model, of varying power that will scale based on the years played by the character.


Dragon Waves:

1. Lord Nagafen

2. Lady Vox

3. a dracoliche

4. Gorenaire

5. Trakanon

6. Phara Dar

7. Lord Yelinak

8. Vulak`Aerr

If you start this task and dont get all the way thru for whatever reason, do you have to start from the beginning next time you try it or can you pick up where you left off?

ie. can I fight thru to Quarm, log for the night, then pick back up tomorrow and go right to Kess?
Continue?

Nope, new instance = start over.

Ran through this thrice, First through Kess with SK buddy (duo), into Quarm (duo with father's Zerker), then again into Yar'Lir with SK buddy again.

If you have the aug in your charm you can still go through with this task again and the aug will automatically get better stats if you go further along the progression. I was worried when i right clicked the item to get new charm aug and then realized quite foolishly that it was lore and it disapeared. Though when i checked the aug from doing this previously that i have equipped in charm slot it went up in stats.

Made it to Vish with just 3 actual toons. Me boxing beastlord and ranger and sister playing mage with 2 merc clerics and 1 tank merc. No raid gear all SoD tier 5 group armor. Yar lir was actually harder than the 3 relic dragons since merc tank died with the mob at 70% and beastlord tanked the rest the way. Kess wasn't really hard but was a pain since i was boxing the ranger and it took forever. The 3 relic dragons seemed pretty easy compared to the DoN ones. Stopped at Vish since the beastlord died to adds so mag and rng gated out. We ignored the eggs which is probably what our downfall was. Never actualy done alot of these events before so was fun just to take part in them and see some new dragons. A solid full grp with real healer and tank should be able to make it close to the end with just SoD group armor and raid geared folks should have no problems. The aug we got for getting to #15 was only 11ac 111hp/mana/edur on bst, rng though and mag only got a model 1 with 76hp/55mana which was kinda of a jip. Bst got model VIII with 105 days played on 8 yr + account

The question arises... especially for those who don't qualify for the top version of the Aug.

Each year at Anniversary time, can they upgrade? It would seem logical that they can get a group task, click the Abacus and get the next version of the Aug.

Those of us with the top aug all ready, obviously, will not get upgrades.

There are no add spawns on the Relic dragons. Adds do not spawn during Vish when players die. Makes the events so much easier to do.

i boxed this with my friend the other day, we got up to vish, we had an 85bst tanking which is myself, and i boxed an 85 mage for dps, my friend ran his 80 necro, 85 shaman, and 85 bard, with a t5 merc healer,
(all 85's in full t5 Sod armor with most or all t5 side items)
( this expansion was very kind to non raiders)

Kessedona was the hardest by far, even with a tracker, because the merc ra out of mana and was barely able to keep me alive, we had to kill all the guardians 2 times each , and to kill them u have to dps kessodona even though u will not accomplish any dmg on her,
i wish it wasnt finals weeks the next two weeks so i could try for the 4 relic dragons now that the order has been switched, as it was vish who stopped us

Very fun event, way to go sony =)

Can't that still be raised by hunting in Kael? Admittedly it's all grey at level 85 but what about this quest makes the loss of CoV faction "permanent?" I'm genuinely curious.

I 4 boxed this with no mercs up to Quarm who i did not bother trying for. 85 monk/shaman/druid/cleric. When you zone into the first instance they place you before all the giants. So you have a bunch of fire giants to go through. The time i did it the king was also up. Killing naggy was easy with this set up. Moving onto lady vox you get put before the first ice giants. This one is also easy as long as you don't fall into any of the pits.

This next one was actually the biggest pain for me. You get placed at Plane of Fear zone in. Just about every mob was up when i checked track. I didn't see cazic-thule but i did see dread and terror. No idea if they would have dropped anything but almost every single mob i had tried to loot in all the zones during this task would only drop cash. There were a few spell drops but nothing above level 65 and i don't recall which dragon they were from.

I had at least 20 adds while i was mucking around in fear. I did this one very poorly and im lucky dread or terror weren't in the area. Im sure there are better solutions then to start tracking and then just go through the zone training what ever you want but anyway i ended up getting every buff dispelled before i was able to kill the dracoliche. I evacted afterwards rather then deal with all the adds.

Baneluk posted about losing CoV faction. Thats indeed true. I was pissed off about that. Its a permanent loss and im sure they could have fixed it so that wouldn't have happened if they really wanted too. I ended up soloing Lord Yelinak with just my cleric since my cleric was already kos.

Vulak`Aerr does not actually summon other dragons during the fight so no worry about that and Phara Dar does not summon any adds either during that fight. This was the first time i had ever fought these dragons. Shamans aa malo and slow got resisted enough times that i didn't bother after a few. These were still relatively easy fights but took a long time for me as my monk was only real dps and they do have a ton of hp. EDIT: I did end up meleeing with my shaman/druid/cleric at some point with Talisman of the Lynx up.

The 4 warders were easy. Every one of these fights was new to me. I enjoyed them very much. It was getting late which is why i didn't try Quarm though i would have liked to. Now that i have gotten as far as i have though im not gonna bother doing it again once i have the time. There was just too many mobs to deal with before getting to kill the dragons. Trakanon's banishing was a pain to deal with too.

Vish does drop eggs, that you have to kill, they wiped my group we did not kill before they spawned added, does anyone know if you have to kite the 4 other mobs in the room that or around the outside of the room like the real event?? We wiped before I have any idea if they go active??
Vish
# Apr 20 2009 at 8:49 PM Rating: Decent
Yes, the four corrupted drakes become active at 50% just like the real event.

You must have the SoD expansion for the raid, we could not get the raid with someone without it in it...Suchandsuch does not have the expansion needed for this shared task (/headache on)

I am not sure about before zoning in, but once Nagy is dead you cannot /taskadd anyone, very rude for someone coming five minutes late.

edit: sorry, I meant SoD expansion. One person on our raid has SoF, but not SoD, and we could not get the raid.

My group killed Kessdona and Yar'Lir. We were pretty burnt out after that one, though, so we didn't even give a swing at Vishimtar.

Note: We are NOT raid-geared.

I would imagine the latest steps of this quest aren't intended for anyone to complete outside of a well-balanced, raid-geared group. However, it's clear that people are indeed making it to the final stage.

Dragons are found in instanced versions of each zone and are the same as the original. As far as I could tell none of the dragons banish. Many dragons require you to be under their belly to land a spell on them without resist. The zone into each instance is close to the location of each dragon. The group version progresses with the following order and dragons:

1.Lord Nagafen
2.Lady Vox
3.Dracoliche
4.Gorenaire
5.Trakanon
6.Phara Dar
7.Yelinak
8.Vulak'Aerr
9.Defeat all four warders of the sleeper 1 2 3 4
10.Quarm
11.Kessdona the Enlightened
12.?
13.?
14.?
15.?
16.?
17.?
18.?
19.?
20.?

If you want to progress further than this make sure to bring a tracker. I was unable to beat Kessedona because I had no tracker.

The Augment you receive depends on how many years you have entitled to your account. The power of the aug depends on how many dragons you slay. After slaying Quarm my Model II aug shows 6 ac 78 hp / mana / end

After completing the raid up to Lethar (wiped there), I received a Model V aug. I have 5 years on the account. My aug didn't have any heroic stats on it. Other people with model IV and VI had heroics. Any ideas why there's a difference?

i can confirm that the aug you get is based off of how many years entitled on account and stat on aug is based off of how many dragons killed.. my monk which was started in december 2008 got model I my beast which has 6 years got model VI and killed up to kess (didnt kill kess) on both


forgot to mention the stat on my beasts aug (VI) is 9 ac 94 hp/mana/end 3 to resists and 1 heroic cha and stats on my monks (I) is 63 hp 47 mana/end
