Visit Baldric Slezaf, located inside a pyramid at +775, +9665, around the portal area of the Dreadlands.

You say, 'Hail, Baldric Slezaf'

Baldric Slezaf says 'Hello. Don't you think this would be a wonderful place to perform a symphony?'

You say, 'What symphony?'

Baldric Slezaf says 'It has been my dream for years to perform a symphony that would be remembered for ages to come. I have run into a few minor snags, however.'

You say, 'What snags?'

Baldric Slezaf says 'Several years ago I bought sheets of the most beautiful sounding music from a traveling merchant. He did not know the author of the work as it was simply signed 'the Maestro'. The melody I played from them was wondrous and invoked feelings in me I have never felt before. However, as I reached the middle of the music, I discovered it was missing two pages!'

You say, 'What pages?'

Baldric Slezaf says 'The pages that were missing were pages 24 and 25. I have been searching the world for a spot to hold my symphony and I have finally found it. Without the music and a new lute crafted by the famous instrument maker Forpar Fizfla, I do not think I can pull it off.'

You say, 'Who is Forpar Fizfla?'

Baldric Slezaf says 'Forpar Fizfla is an eccentric instrument maker from Ak'Anon. He makes enchanted instruments that enhance the sound of the music. If I am to perform the concert of all concerts, I must have one of his instruments. I went to Ak'Anon, seeking to purchase an instrument from him but he wouldn't even speak to me.'

You say, 'What music?'

Baldric Slezaf says 'It makes me sad to know that the pages of this music may be spread across the world or destroyed. If you find and bring me the two missing sheets as well as a new lute, I would be happy to repay you in some way.'

You say, 'How will you repay me?'

Baldric Slezaf pulls a fantastic looking sword from its scabbard and says, 'I might be willing to part with this wonderful sword if I were able to perform this symphony. You would also gain recognition at the opening of the symphony.' Baldric sheathes his sword and begins to hum a haunting melody.

Baldric Slezaf wants these four items:

1) First Half of Page 24
2) Second Half of Page 24
3) Page 25
4) Lute made by Forpar Fizfla

To get top part page 24 go to West Karana and see Konia Swiftfoot, who may be found inside a guard tower at -500, -2400. She gives you a Torch of Misty and starts a race. Take the torch to Fajio Knejo in Misty Thicket (close to the wall guards). He gives you a Torch of Ro. Then take that torch to Andad Filla in South Ro (close to innothule zone) who gives you a Torch of Rathe. Then take that torch to Misty Tekchita in Lake Rathe (by arena zone). This will get you Proof of Speed. Finally, take this back to Konia Swiftfoot and you will get the top part of page 24.

To get the bottom half of you need to give Konia Swiftfoot Mahlin's Mystical Bongos. Talk to Baenar Swiftsong at location -15, +100 in South Karana. He will give you an invoice after you ask "what doll?". Go to Solusek A and give the gnome vendor Marfen the invoice and you will receive a doll. Take the doll to the Estate of Unrest and give the doll to Serra, who is next to the gnomish speulunker. Serra will give you a Ripped Qeynos Bard Guild Flyer. Now take this from Serra back to Braenar, who will give a new note for Maligar. Take the note from Braenar to Maligar. Maligar's Enraged Doppleganger will attack at that point (bring a group). Kill the Doppleganger and loot his head. Take the head back to Braenar and receive "Mahlin's Mystical Bongos". Take the bongos to Konia Swiftfoot in West Karana to get the bottom of Page 24.

To get Page 25 go to South Karana and talk to the woodelf bard named Kelkin Mekia. She wants 3 items:

1) Chromodrac Gut, dropped by Eldrig the Old, a named chromodrac in Skyfire.
2) Red Wurm Gut, dropped by Nezekezena, a named wurm in the Burning Woods.
3) Onyx Drake Gut, dropped by Blackwing, an onyx drake in Rathe Mountains.

Give these to her and you will get Page 25.

Now you need Forpar's Lute. This is rewarded as head, body and strings.

First you need to get horn from Ocean of Tears (Alluring Horn from Quag Maelstrom). Take the alluring horn from Ocean of Tears to a half elf bard in Butcherblock, by the docks (Vedico). Take the note she gives you to Forpar. He then gives you a note and a list of items he needs:

1) Backbone of an Ancient Fishman - Kedge Backbone from Phinigel Autropos in Kedge Keep.
2) Amalgam Tentacle - Amygdalan Tendril from Plane of Fear.
3) Petrified Skull of a Lycanthrope - Petrified Werewolf Skull from Karnor's Castle off a Drolvarg Warlord.

Take all 3 items and the note back give to Forpar.


Forpar Fizfla says 'Wow! I didn't think a Human like you would be able to gather all of those things.' Forpar rambles around and works with small tools for a good ten minutes before handing you a very fine looking lute head. 'Now, do you want to gather the next pieces for me?'

He gives you the Mystical Lute Head.

You say, 'What next pieces?'

Forpar Fizfla says 'The next pieces are a little harder to come by than those. To make the body of an instrument that will last ages to come, I need something very special. The scales of a big red dragon and the scales of a big white dragon will make it unbreakable, as well as giving it a unique look. Some metal bits will allow me to hold the body together. Please, if you gather up these things, bring them to me as soon as possible. I have not felt this good in years!'

The body requires the following items:

1) Red Dragon Scales from Talendor, Lord Nagafen, or Echo of Nortlav.
2) White Dragon Scales from Gorenaire or Lady Vox.
3) Metal Bits (regular smithed metal bits). (There's been some confusion because the name of the item is plural, but you really only need one copy of this. Verified in-game.)


Forpar Fizfla says 'Woooooo! You are doing a wonderful job, ______. I wish I could go out and gather these things myself.' Forpar sits back down at his desk and pulls several very strange looking tools out. Eventually he looks up at you and says, 'The body is done! Only one more piece to go!'

Find An Undead Bard in Old Sebilis at -2085, -705.

You say, 'Hail, An Undead Bard'

An Undead Bard says 'Hail, ______. Are you perchance a minstrel?'

You say, 'I am a minstrel.'

An Undead Bard says 'I, too, am a bard, or was rather. I have been cursed by that blasted pile of bones who calls itself, Trakanon'

You say, 'Who is Trakanon?'

An Undead Bard says 'He is the undead dragon who rules this realm. I came on a quest seeking strings for my new instrument.'

You say, 'What instrument?'

An Undead Bard says 'I sought to create a Magical Lute.'

You say, 'What Magical Lute?'

An Undead Bard says 'One that would make me the greatest bard in all the lands! Are you on a similar quest?'

You say, 'I am on a similar quest.'

An Undead Bard says 'Well then, I would ask you a favor for one in return. If I bring that cursed dragon here, will you kill it for me?'

You say, 'I will kill it for you.'

An Undead Bard says 'Excellent. I have stayed here far too long and I wish to go to my eternal slumber. But before I do so, I ask for one last request'

You say, 'What last request?'

An Undead Bard says 'Give me the Mystical Lute Body you have. I will return it, don't worry. I only wish to hold an instrument one last time before I leave.'

Give it the Mystical Lute Body.

An Undead Bard says 'I feel so powerful once again...a strange feeling is overcoming me!'

You get the Mystical Lute Body back. It respawns and attacks. Kill it to spawn the triggered version of Trakanon. Loot the Undead Dragongut Strings from this triggered version. If the real version is up, it will kill An Undead Bard and you must wait until UDB spawns again.

Once you have all three lute parts, give the following to Forpar to receive the mystical lute: the head, body and gut strings.


Forpar Fizfla says 'Goodness! I can hardly contain myself! This will be my greatest creation ever!' Forpar sits down, slides the lute head into place and screws it together. After a few minutes, he begins to string the lute with the gut strings of the poison dragon. A wonderful sound fills the air as he strums the lute once and hands it to you. 'I hope you find a good use for that! I bet you could play it from the mountaintops and the people below would hear you. Thank you, ______, for making my lifelong dream come true!'

You gain experience!!

Now head back to Baldric Slezaf and give him the following items:

1) Maestro's Symphony Page 24 Top
2) Maestro's Symphony Page 24 Bottom
3) Maestro's Symphony Page 25
4) Mystical Lute from Forpar


Baldric Slezaf looks shocked as you hand him the pages and the mystical lute. 'I will put on a symphony the likes of which the gods have never seen. Thank you so much, ______. Please take this sword as a token of my gratitude.'

You gain experience!!

He will reward you with the Singing Short Sword.

You gain experience!!

When you do turn-in for the werewolf skull, tentacle, and backbone TAKE NOTE that the first Note to Forpar MUST BE TURNED IN ALONE FIRST. He will then give you ANOTHER note and THAT is the note that you need to turn in with the other items... I didn't realize this, turned in Note to forpar, and freaked because I couldn't find the lute head. Thankfully I found the note to himself in time (about 2-3 minute timespan) and turned it in and still got the lute head. Close call though.

I'm surprised nobody posted Serra's dialogue. I felt a little sad when I read it.

[Sun Jul 19 17:57:06 2009] You say, 'Hail, Serra'

[Sun Jul 19 17:57:10 2009] You say, 'something'
[Sun Jul 19 17:57:11 2009] Serra says 'I never got my doll for my birthday. Before he could bring it to me I was h..hurt by the bad man. I cannot leave without my doll. Will you please help me?'
[Sun Jul 19 17:57:24 2009] You say, 'What doll?'
[Sun Jul 19 17:57:25 2009] Serra claps her hands. 'Oh goody! But... I cannot seem to remember his name. He gave me this note before I...'
[Sun Jul 19 17:57:34 2009] You say, 'What note?'

Serra hands you a Ripped Qeynos Bards Guild Flyer.

[Sun Jul 19 17:57:36 2009] Serra says 'I hope it will help you out. Please find him so I can leave this place?'

You hand Serra the Mechanical Doll.

[Sun Jul 19 17:58:13 2009] Serra says 'Oh! You have the dolly! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can go home now. Please give this to my father, Baenar. He will understand when he gets it.' Serra begins to fade away. 'Bye bye!''

Anything dealing with the Mystical Lute part is MQ capable and totally safe since the end product is tradeable. That's really the only thing that needs an MQ since everything else is tradeable anyway.

Just finished doing this quest the other day and a few things to note, so you don't get confused with the conflicting information:

The turn in for the Mystical Lute Head:
1) Backbone of an Ancient Fishman - Kedge Backbone from Phinigel Autropos in Kedge Keep.
2) Amalgam Tentacle - Amygdalan Tendril from Plane of Fear.
3) Petrified Skull of a Lycanthrope - Petrified Werewolf Skull from Karnor's Castle off a Drolvarg Warlord.

Take all 3 items and the note back give to Forpar.


You must be a minimum of level 46 to do this turn in~


The turn in for the Mystical Lute Body:
1) Red Dragon Scales from Talendor, Lord Nagafen, or Echo of Nortlav.
2) White Dragon Scales from Gorenaire or Lady Vox.
3) Metal Bits (regular smithed metal bits). (There's been some confusion because the name of the item is plural, but you really only need one copy of this. Verified in-game.)


You must be a minimum of level 50 to do this turn in~

If you try to do it before these levels he returns the items to you, BUT as we found out, he does not return items that are being Multi-quested!! We lost a few amygdalan tendrils this way (not so bad, but imagine losing the phinny piece!).

After handing in the doll to Serra, she gives you Note for Baenar, not the Guild Flyer.

I believe she gives you the Guild Flyer when you talk to her before handing in the doll, which as far as I can tell is optional. I think it only adds information and lore to the quest, but is not required.

the quest desription for part 2 of the 24th page is a bit off. when you talk to serra for the 1st time you ask her about her doll and she mentions a man was supposed to bring it to her, but she cannot remember his name and gives you the only clue she has: the ripped Quenos bard guild flier, you give that to Belious Naliedin, and he tells you about Baenar which is why you ask him about the doll. The note that Serra gives you after the doll is the "Note to Baenar" which naturally you give to Baenar to continue the quest as written

If your server gets taken offline for maintenance/updates, get ready. The spawn timers for all your mobs reset when the server comes back online. I finally got the Undead Bard spawn following a server reset (and 18 hours of no sleep....)

I had been down there a couple of times before with my guild, looking for him. Even if you don't catch the spawn, this can be a good zone to level in.

Just wanted to provide some MQ/Invis feedback.

I killed like all the mobs with my Main, and my bard is 67, and I had ended up looting the Warlord Head with my main(the other pieces i let my bard loot).

Now when i went to do the turn ins etc, my bard was App and I was Dub.

I was a little nervous, but I grouped up, turned on invis song, opened a trade window with the little dude, turned in the head, then opened it on the bard bla bla,

Anyhoo, invis song, to indiff and MQ all worked perfectly and im onto undead bard(who isnt up darn it).

I would alsolike to note :-( that through some type of bug, i had looted the backbone one time, yet it poofed and GM's swore there was no record of me looting it..

So i had to kill him 7 more times before he dropped it again, easy solo for me including all his guards but a P.I.M.A to do again for a stupid bug

You have to be level 51 or the quest NPC's won't even talk to you. It's not a usage restriction, the NPC's will just hand you back the items and say "try again." www.eqdiva.com has explicit text in their walkthrough.

Is it worth getting?

Well, I am level 65, I am flagged for time and uqua. I am currently finishing the epic quest, on my last kill, waiting on it to spawn now.

I created my character april 10, 1999, and have been 65 for a long while now, and have well over 200 AA points.

Bards will tell you the epic is worthwhile. What you have to do is consider it for yourself. I am doing it only because other, nonbards will not leave me alone about not having done it.

The instrument modifier is garbage for everything except singing. You can go to kelethin and buy the same modifier, or you can go to katta and buy a 22 modifier. The instrument modifiers on any real instrument are much higher.

The common arguement is that it is every instrument modifier. On a raid, if you are using an epic for area resists, you are giving the raid less than half the resists you could give with other items. A TDoK, especially before AA are purchased, gives far more resists.

Another arguement is the singing modifier. Sining modifier is for psalm line spells, and impacts the damage shield and resists. It's worthwhile. However, plane of torment drops an item with a 20 singing modifier, which is higher than the epic, as does water. Time drops a 24 mask and a 25 sword.

Basically, you're looking at a little less than doubling the psalm line songs, and not having to equip instruments in cases where the modifier isn't helping.

The bigger "incentive" is the haste buff. If you look at the sss and at, say, siren's song, siren's song has more or less the same buff (it's really close). The sword gives a bonus to attack, also, that the dagger misses, and sword is right clickable.

These hastes are the same haste percentage as the PoP haste, and are base haste (so the highest takes precedence). The thing is, if you have 4 or 5 mezzed (are working crowd control), it can be really hard to haste at the same time.

The stat bonuses, etc. on the effect are worthwhile.

Prior to gaining access to torment and beyond, the hitpoint and stat modifiers are fairly nice as well. :) Compared to elemental weapons, etc. they aren't so hot though.

Last I checked, sss had a combat effect and was NOT right clickable like SB, 1.5 and 2.0 (among others). The fact it is combat makes it unattractive for bards to use it while grouping or raiding since people will kill you for occupying their last buff slot with something they find useless and causing them to miss a HoT buff.

All in all, this is just a brag piece and a stepping stone to 1.5/2.0 (which are also slacking in the mod department since other items have better mods, but the clicky effect is nice and lands on pets for those with PA -- go go bard hasted swarm pets!).

Edontulate, Posted: Jul 28th 2004 6:31pm, Score: Sub-Default, [expand] the best reason to do this is none of the straw men u provided. It is the fact that you have all instrument types and a singing mod in one. sure you can replace each instrument with a better one at a time, but lets see u get all the instrument mods equiped at once better then the epic without sacrificing a bunch of HPs or other stats.....it is far easier to get an epic then to collect the various items you want to replace your epic with...i rather toss a FT aug on my armour then a singing 100% aug

Actually, if you noticed, there are items in the elementals and time that have better modifiers for ALL instruments including singing that are not instruments or weapons themselves. So, you CAN have ALL instrument modifiers at the same time when all these items are equipped. Sure they're not all on one item, but if you're a bard that is able to get to these places then you slowly start turning away from your epic for the modifiers. However, if you don't have access to that stuff or if you just aren't lucky enough then yes, the epic is nice to have. But as was said, the haste on the epic is pretty sweet. Which does give it some value. He also wasn't talking entirely about augs, because the augs are not comparable to EP and Time drops with modifiers.

"soon to be" ?

If by soon you mean in a few years, maybe. Getting to level 65 is the easy part. Being flagged for the various planes you'll need to visit to even have a prayer of seeing those items is going to take alot of time and dedication and the resources of a very capable guild. Still, nothing wrong with dreaming, I know !

As for the drops for your epic, I'd strongly suggest you concentrate on levelling to at least 50 before bothering with any. No-one is going to go around killing high end mobs for a level 10 to get their epic drops. You could start with the Onyx Drake Gut (from Blackwing) in Rathe Mountains I guess. He's absolute cake compared to the other 2 named mobs whose guts you'll need. If you're well twinked I even think you can take him down when you're as low as 25...he's remarkably easy. At level 40 I killed him in what seemed like 3 seconds. You look around for something else to spawn and start whacking you, but it doesn't. You just stand there thinking "was that IT ?"

Nezekezena and Eldrig are a real handful for a bard to solo and you'd be spending your time more wisely getting the levels you need to show you're serious about your toon. Grab a pet class friend in their 60's and you should find both mobs are easy enough. Yes it can be done with a lower level group, but you may aswell just go for an easy option like a decent level Beastlord or similar to kill either.

Just for all those wondering, you can skip the head of the lute and do it last. I had the components for the body, while I was still missing the Amygdalan Tentacle for the head. I tried my luck and was awarded the body without having done the head. So now I am able to spawn Trakanon with the undead bard. I will still need to do the head part to finish the quest. But it is easier to have 1 Mystical Lute Body, then to have 1 Red Dragon Scale, 1 White Dragon Scale, and 1 Metal Bits. Less of a chance of deleting the body. Just FYI.

Ok this is simple.

White scales drop from white dragons. Lady Vox and goreinair(sp).

Red dragon Scales drop from red dragons. Talendor, Ragefire and Nagafen. Nortilav does drop the red dragon scale everytime and ima pretty sure he is still there (edit:he is now called Echo of Nortilav, would be intersted to find out the lore for this change). But be very carefull he is one of the hardest mobs in the game (prePoP), Harm touches for 1500 every round hits for like 500+ double and quads, a very very dangerous human indead. The only way my guild has taken him down is to get an ubah chanter with the insta-right click 1500HP rune and get them to spam it, whilst everyone else attacks, my advice, unless u are truely ubah leave him well alone and buy one from the bazaar.

Amy Whip drops off the Amygdalyn Warriors only that I have seen. Been to PoF to help several bards get this piece after getting my own. As a bard you can break fear for the rest of a guild to come in easier then any other class. Hit Selos, get whoever is around to hit you with resists then zone in with resist songs playing. Go around as if you're kiting with aggro pulling all the mobs in the area to you, take them east and when you're sure you have the majority of the zone in hill with you on the east end have the rest of your raid zone in and move to the west wall. Now if you've got a necro with your raid bite the bullet have them summon/rez you and get started. If you don't have a necro then use a gate potion and you'll have to sit the beginning of the raid out as they wipe the area around the hill to allow you to zone in safely. Good luck to all you bards in need of your pretty epic.

No actually it does nothing to agro to get ported around a zone unless it actually zones you(like succor or deccession or any of those other 'evac' spells), although if you get ported a LONG way across a zone, mobs will refuse to path to you and although they still remember/hate you, they will sit on their thumbs till you get a bit closer.
