Berrina #1: Gnoll Who Your Friends Are
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This shared task (3-6 players) is the first in a series of three. It begins with Berrina Saltidnarik at location -650, 200, 37 in Brell's Rest.
You say, 'Hail, Berrina Saltidnarik' Berrina Saltidnarik says 'Hello there, _____. You look like you're a [visitor] to this realm.' You say, 'Yep, I'm a visitor' Berrina Saltidnarik says 'Not all of us are here by choice. Some who dwell in this realm are bound to it due to our devotion to Brell. That is the position that I find myself in, for example. Still, one does what one [can], no?' You say, 'They do what they can' Berrina Saltidnarik says 'Even in the realm of a god, there is always work that can be done. I pride myself on being a problem solver, personally. I try to find and fix [problems] whenever someone comes to me with one.' You say, 'Problems?' Berrina Saltidnarik says 'Take, for example, a gnoll named Dorrvix. He wants to be a part of the Shining City so bad, it hurts him. The poor thing spends all his days looking up and dreaming. The Gatekeeper just says that it isn't Brell's will for Dorrvix to enter. It feels like there's more to the story, but the Gatekeeper and I don't often see eye to eye. Would you be [willing] to go find out what the trouble is?' You say, 'I'd be willing' Berrina Saltidnarik says 'Wonderful. Go speak with Dorrvix near the gnoll camp to the west. If you must speak with him, the Gatekeeper is located at the top of the great bridge under Brell's Temple to the north.' You have been assigned the task 'Gnoll Who Your Friends Are'. The direction to someone related to your current Task has been marked on your compass. Berrina Saltidnarik has befriended a gnoll named Dorrvix who is living amongst the warring clans to the west. Dorrvix wishes to be allowed to enter the shining city, but the way is blocked to him. Berrina would like you to intervene on Dorrvix's behalf, as your powers may be sufficient to remove some of the obstacles that lie in his path. Make contact with Dorrvix in the gnoll's camp. He will be able to explain himself better. Speak with Dorrvix 0/1 (Brell's Rest) Dorrvix is located in the gnoll camp in the western part of the zone. Location: -170, 685, 31. You say, 'Hail, Dorrvix' Dorrvix says 'You want help Dorrvix? Find out why Dorrvix can't get in [city]! Dorrvix deserve city! City is shiny! Dorrvix is good. Dorrvix deserve city.' Your task 'Gnoll Who Your Friends Are' has been updated. The direction to someone related to your current Task has been marked on your compass. You say, 'Tell me about the city' Dorrvix says 'Shining city! Look up! Gate man keeps Dorrvix out, Dorrvix can't get to the shiny! Talk to gate man on the bridge. Help Dorrvix get to shiny. Dorrvix not bad, bad things happen to Dorrvix.' Speak with the Gatekeeper 0/1 (Brell's Rest) Task Window Says: Contact the Gatekeeper to the Shining City and see if you can find out what blocks Dorrvix's path. The Gatekeeper is located at the entrance to Kernagir, the Shining City (go up one of the two ramps around the lava in the northern part of the zone). Location: 515, 45, 153. You say, 'Hail, The Gatekeeper' The Gatekeeper says 'Ah, Dorrvix, another of the tough luck club. Well, I have to give him credit for being persistent. If this will stop people from bothering me, I will allow you to act on his behalf, _____. You must give this [device] to Dorrvix's peers. Find five gnolls who are willing to record their testimony and then bring the device back. If you can bring me information that was not considered earlier, perhaps Brell will change his decision.' Your task 'Gnoll Who Your Friends Are' has been updated. You say, 'I need the device...' The Gatekeeper says 'Here you are, _____.' Receive Mnemenic Device. You say, 'Hail, The Gatekeeper' The Gatekeeper says 'I am known as The Gatekeeper. I allow those Brell desires to [enter] his Shining City. Anyone else is refused entry. If the underfoot is too much for you I can [send you] back to the way people enter here. I believe you mortals from your plane call it Paineel.' You say, 'I wish to enter!' The Gatekeeper whispers to you, 'I don't say this to everyone, but if you want to enter Kernagir, you must prove that you understand the values that are important here. Perhaps if you speak to Algera Chindlebolt she can put you to work. Work ethic is one of the prime virtues valued by those in the Underfoot. Or if you are overendowed with allies, perhaps Algera has something more dangerous you could assist with.' Find some gnolls who are willing to testify about Dorrvix 0/5 (Brell's Rest) Defend yourself from gnolls who are unwilling to help 0/4 (Brell's Rest) Task Window Says: The Gatekeeper did not seem to be too eager to help, but he is allowing you to seek the testimony of five of Dorrvix's peers. See if you can find five willing volunteers. Hand the Mnenemic Device to any gnoll to get these updates. They'll give an update for either step. If the latter step, they'll attack, so be ready. They hit for a max ~5,500 and have a good amount of hps. Responses you'll see: a gnoll charger says 'Dorrvix wants fight, but he hate losing, so he no fight. He just mad when others fight now.' a gnoll charger says 'Dorrvix takes food first, and he mean when he does it. He says it because he got food taken away, but he do it all the time.' a gnoll brawler says 'Dorrvix drink water all time, and he push others away. He tell me to go drink down by lava, where it hot!' a gnoll guardian says 'When something bad, it never Dorrvix fault. He always say someone else do it even when he do it.' a gnoll assassin says 'No! No helping the gate man! Fight now!' a gnoll charger says 'No! I answer already. Go away now.' Deliver 1 Mnemenic Device to the Gatekeeper 0/1 (Brell's Rest) Task Window Says: You've collected the testimonies of five gnolls. Bring the recording back to the Gatekeeper. Your task 'Gnoll Who Your Friends Are' has been updated. Your collected testimony did not present any information of which the Gatekeeper was unaware. Dorrvix must first take responsibility for his own actions before he can begin his journey of change. Rewards: 157 platinum, 5 gold Experience | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Very quick, easy task. Especially if you are a monk!
If you want to repeat this shared task, you must have done all of 3 tasks Berrina offered.
I find when you use tricks like Bard Fade and FD to avoid killing the gnolls in the beginning, the percentage of testifying gnolls is very, very low. But when I killed a non-testifying gnoll in the beginning, the percentage goes up pretty quick. So even though kill 4 non-cooperating gnolls is next on the list, it may not help to put that off until you've gone through a bunch of gnolls. On the other hand, I could have just gotten the right random the two times I did it.
A bard makes this so easy. I love fading memories
You can give in and Feign Death as Monk but as soon as you stand up and you have aggro if the Gnolls walk near others all get aggro... so its only low aggro radius, take care.
Did the run around only with give in and FD, worked well

It seems that you get the attackers more often, so once you are done with those, if you have a mage, you can start casting CoH, hand in, and if they agro, you are clear with CoH, if not, you get a task update and a free ride back to camp.
You can't get this task solo. Best guess is you need 3 in your group.

Agro is real wierd on this one. You can hand the tablet thing into any gnoll and if it agro's it wont agro any other mobs around it, they wont attack you, but as soon as it gets low enough health that it wants to start running away it will agro everything in range (that range is very low so not a huge problem) But be careful, dont think you can fight them in the middle of the camp, still pull them out to a safe spot.
It got me twice before I realized how it worked, first time I thought maybe I just messed up targeting or something, but then tested it out a second time and sure enough, mobs wont assist until the one that is triggered is low health

It seems pretty random, sometimes you'll have no problem finding ones that will testify, other times I've gone through the entire camp without finding a single one willing to testify.
