    NOTE: A patch on March 25, 2015, added a work-around to obtain items from Cazic Thule, Dread, Fright, and Terror:

    In the Plane of Fear, a harbinger of Fear can help adventurers get their epic 1.0 pieces that would normally drop from Cazic-Thule or the golems. These pieces cannot be multi-quested or traded. In addition, a harbinger of Fear can advance the Whistling Fists quest in the same way as Cazic-Thule.

    The Ungrateful Thief

    Kurron Ni appears in the Overthere outpost.

    You say, 'Hail, Kurron Ni'

    Kurron Ni says 'Out of my way, stranger, I am on a delicate mission. Interfere with my search and I shall relieve you of your head! Bother me no more.

    You say, 'What do you seek?'

    Kurron Ni says 'I have traveled here in hopes of finding a soul worthy of assisting me in completing my mission.

    You say, 'I am worthy'

    Kurron Ni says 'I doubt it, but I have been wrong before. Before I share with you the details of my mission, however, you must first prove your worthiness. Agreed?

    You say, 'Agreed'

    Kurron Ni says 'Very well then, my new friend. I have an acquaintance that stands in need of three pieces of Darkforge Armor. He requires the breast, greaves and helm to complete his set. I also must pay back a loan that has come due in the amount of 900 platinum. Return this to me and I shall share with you my dark mission, and the immeasurable reward that will be earned at its completion. Show your face here without fulfilling my request and I will offer you on the altar to Innoruuk himself. Be off!

  • After a hard task of acquiring the requested Darkforge items and 900 platinum pieces, come back to the Overthere. Hand the Darkforge Breastplate, Darkforge Greaves, Darkforge Helm, and 900 platinum all at the same time to Kurron Ni.


  • Kurron Ni says 'Well done, {your name} , I honestly didn't expect to see you again. Yes, yes, this is perfect! My mission is nearly complete!

    Kurron Ni looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'What mission?'

    Kurron Ni says 'My mission was to find a pathetic shadowknight and bring him closer to Innoruuk. You volunteered. By exercising my superior powers of persuasion, I have now taken from you a fine suit of armor and enough coin to ensure that I will be sleeping neither soberly nor alone for quite some time! Now I ask you, worthy shadowknight, do you not feel the fires of hatred coursing through your veins like never before? That is the very reward I spoke of! You have been brought closer to my master. My mission is complete! You foolish excuse for a dark knight, I shall take your head and tell all of your generous donation to the mighty Teir'Dal rogues!

    Kurron Ni punches YOU for 200 points of damage.

    Kurron Ni glares at you threateningly -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You find a Letter to Duriek on his corpse that reads:
    Duriek, I have searched this godless pit for what seems to be an eternity with nothing to show for my efforts. I pray to Innoruuk that you have made some breakthrough in your research. Please update me as to your progress. In the meanwhile I have run into some unexpected expenses and will need some funds to carry on. An additional ten thousand should suffice. Regards, Karnett



    The New Apprentice

    Duriek Bloodpool can be found in Paineel. Hand him the Letter to Duriek you have... found.

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Yes, most unfortunate. I was informed last week of the death of my most recent apprentice. A few months ago, I paid a substantial sum to a group of rogues sent from Neriak to collect on a gambling debt. He swore to me that was the end of it, but I suspected otherwise. My warnings of gambling with the rogues fell on deaf ears.'

    Despite what Duriek tells you, you receive neither item nor money.

    You say, 'What apprentice?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'As stubborn and foolish as he sometimes was, he was full of potential. Had he managed to achieve my age he doubtless would have surpassed my abilities. Though I am not surprised at his passing, he will be sorely missed. Well, I thank you for your efforts. Feel free to meet me in the tavern for a drink sometime. I must now get to the task of replacing my associate.

    You say, 'I will replace him'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Hmm, you seem a bit green and I hesitate to trust you with such an important work, but time is of the essence as my days in this world are running out. Bring me back a bottle of cough elixir and, if you are still interested, I will instruct you further.

    Head to Neriak Foreign Quarter. Find Smaka.

    You say, 'hail Smaka'

    Smaka says 'You want stuff? Or mebby you looks for a cure?

    You say, 'I need a bottle of cough elixir'

    Smaka says 'Ahh, you want me cure?! It cost lots of money, big big secret it is. Only us ogres know how to make. You wants? Only 1000 platinum! Make you feels bedder in no times!

    Head back to Paineel. Hand the Cough Elixir to Duriek.


    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Thank you. Now, quickly, there is not much time for me. What I tell you here now must never be shared with another soul. I have spent the better part of my life piecing together clues for the creation of a legendary dark blade, a corrupted Ghoulbane. I am very close to understanding the method used in manipulating the enchantments of the Ghoulbane, but in my current condition, I cannot finish collecting the research. My previous apprentice was searching for this last clue when he met his untimely demise.'

    Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'where was he searching?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'I possess a key that will open a sealed tome to be found somewhere in the ruins uncovered here not long ago. Recover that tome for me and I am certain I will be able to corrupt the Ghoulbane. My name will be etched in history and you will wield a legend! You must hurry now, and I must return to my studies. Do not return to me, {your name} , without the tome.



    More Work

    You find a Dusty Tome on its corpse.

    Head back to Paineel and hand the Dusty Tome to Duriek.

    Duriek Bloodpool gasps at you in astonishment, eyes beaming with pride and says, 'You've found it! It seems I underestimated you. You have succeeded where others failed. I feared it would never come to pass.' Duriek takes the key from his neck, softly muttering some words, and places it in a previously unseen keyhole. The book's hinges creak as Duriek pulls it open. After reading for a few moments, he says, 'It is even better than I had hoped! It will take me weeks to uncover a portion of what this book has to offer. But this is what I have been searching for, so many years! At last I know the items required to corrupt that accursed blade!'

    Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'what items?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'I will need the Ghoulbane, the Soul Leech, the Blade of Abrogation, and the Decrepit Sheath. Alas, I am far too ill to travel and collect these pieces. I must call upon your youth and ability again, {your name} . Return to me with these items and I shall be known throughout history as the greatest grave lord to have walked Norrath and you shall be among the most powerful in our art.



    The Corruption

    The Ghoulbane is in possession of the froglok shin lord in the Ruins of Upper Guk. (It also drops from Joren Nobleheart, a Paladin in Southern Felwithe, if you can handle the Level 60 fight.)

    The Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood is in possession of the God of Fear, Cazic-Thule, in the Plane of Fear.

    The Blade of Abrogation is at times carried by monsters in the Plane of Sky.

    The Decrepit Sheath is fashioned by Teydar. He is located in the Qeynos Aqueduct System.

    Teydar looks your way apprehensively -- looks like he would wipe the floor with you!

    You say, 'hail Teydar'

    Teydar says 'Hello {your name} , It's good to see another shadowknight. I'm Teydar, I've made it my life to fashion suitable scabbard and sheaths for our order.

    You say, 'Can you fashion a decrepit sheath?'

    Teydar says 'The object you desire is very difficult to fashion, nearly impossible, really. All I can offer to do is try. The real difficulty is the contents that give the sheath its power. They have to be of an almost equal evil. I think some kind of decrepit hide, a drake spine along with a bar of enchanted platinum should prove enough to make this item.

    Drake Spine can be taken from a drake named Rharzar in Rathe Mountains.

    Rharzar scowls at you, ready to attack -- it appears to be quite formidable.

    Rharzar hits YOU for 288 points of damage.

    Teydar says 'I did it! The pieces you got me were perfect! It took a huge effort on my part to craft this, of course. it saddens me that I'm unable to keep one of my best works. A deal is a deal. There is honor among shadowknights.

    Head back to Duriek and give him the Ghoulbane, the Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood, the Blade of Abrogation, and the Decrepit Sheath.

    Duriek Bloodpool takes the Ghoulbane and places the other swords on either side of it. The sheath begins to gleam so intensely, you can see the bones inside Duriek's hands. After several minutes, there is a final, blinding flash. Duriek collapses to the ground. After a few moments, Duriek motions you closer and whispers, 'You have done well. I wish fate had been kinder to me and allowed me your aid years ago, I might have lived long enough to enjoy the fame our combined efforts. I studied much of the tome you retrieved and have stumbled upon something that may be the key to unleashing darkness upon the face of Norrath forever. You must seek out a powerful lich by the name of Lhranc. Farewell, {your name}.' With his last bit of energy, Duriek places the corrupted Ghoulbane in your hands.

    The Cursed Being

    Lhranc is a ghost in the City of Mist.

    You say, 'hail Lhranc'

    Lhranc says 'Ahh, finally! He has sent you. No time to waste now, you must help me lift the curse at once!

    You say, 'What curse?'

    Lhranc says 'Can you not see my condition! I have been unjustly sentenced to an eternity in this wretched form you see before you, never to leave these walls. In exchange for the cure for this curse, I swear to show you a secret that would make you the most powerful of your kind.

    You say, 'What is the cure?'

    Lhranc says 'I require only four things of you, dark one, and one of them you hold now. Bring me the heart of an innocent, the head of the valiant, and the will of Innoruuk. With these, my curse shall be lifted at last and I will craft a weapon that will cast a shadow over all of Norrath. "one of them you hold" refers to the Corrupted Ghoulbane.



    The Ritual

    In Toxxulia Forest near the dock you may find Knarthenne Skurl, at -5, +1145.

    You say, 'hail Knarthenne Skurl'

    Knarthenne Skurl says 'Ah, you do not possess the heart of an innocent. Be gone with you!

    You say, 'what heart of an innocent?'

    Knarthenne Skurl says 'What's that? Heart of the Innocent, you say?! Ages, it has been, since I was last asked that. The Heart of the Innocent is an item of great power. Few are they who have ever commanded the dark magic of such an object. It is the bound soul of a pure mortal, rare indeed. Take this hollow gem, and combine with it the heart of one who is pure. If your hand is steady and your mind is clear, you shall have what you seek. You get a Soulcase.

    Marl Kastane may be found in Toxxulia Forest at +115, +2135.

    You say, 'hail Marl Kastane'

    Marl Kastane says 'Begone!! You do not have the will to do the things I require!

    You say, 'I have the will of Innoruuk'

    Marl Kastane says 'You speak of a myth, friend. Such an object does not exist in this age and the secret of its creation lies locked in my mind, where it shall stay. It has been passed down through generations in my line, not to be revealed to a soul until the prophecy has come to pass.

    You say, 'What prophecy?'

    Marl Kastane says 'My apologies, {Your name} , I have said too much already. Instead, I have an errand to occupy your thoughts. Take this as proof that you are sent from me and find my brother in Paineel. I haven't spoken with him in some time now and his well being is essential to our family's destiny.

    You get a Seal of Kastane.

    In Paineel, past the elevator, you may find Gerot Kastane. Hand the Seal of Kastane to Gerot Kastane.
    Gerot Kastane says 'At last! I have been waiting for my brother for weeks! We are doomed! Innoruuk will taint our seed into some perverse, twisted, maddened breed. The prophecy has begun to unfold and there are none capable of stopping it. Quickly, return this note to Marl, we must hide! We have failed the master! We must escape the hateful one's wrath!

    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3.

    You get a Note to Marl.

    You say, 'Hail, Gerot Kastane'

    Gerot Kastane says, '{Your name} ! My hero! I am at your service. I have been told to tell you all I know of the Head of the Valiant. Its construction is a mockery to the gods of Light, an abomination above all others. The method of creation of the Head of the Valiant was passed down through my family for centuries. All I require of you is the physical head of a valiant warrior. I have the rest of the materials right here to fashion this item for you.
    Head to Kerra Isle and hand the "Note to Marl" to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane reads the note, eyes widening in panic. He raises his eyes to you and says, 'This is grave news, friend. If the prophecy is allowed to be fulfilled, our strength will vanish into obscurity. Goodness and purity will spread like a plague across the land and the servants of Hate will be powerless to stop it!'

    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3.

    You say, 'What prophecy?'

    Marl Kastane says 'I suppose it is time for the secret to be shared. Ages ago, two brothers were born. Glohnor was highly favored by the pompous Lightbringer, whose name we do not utter. Lhranc was chosen by the Prince of Hate to bring destruction and turmoil to the sons of men. The one thing they shared in common was their love of the fair priestess, Kyrenna. Kyrenna fell deeply in love with Glohnor. When Lhranc discovered this, he was overcome with rage and unwisely attacked his brother, who happened to be far more adept in combat. The fight cost Lhranc dearly. He lost his dignity as well as an eye in the struggle. He was ordered to leave Freeport and live his life in exile from the only home he had ever known.

    You say, 'What became of Lhranc?'

    Marl Kastane says 'Lhranc wandered the deserts of Ro for weeks, sinking deeper into depression and giving in to rage. Reports from the local merchants and caravans had him roaming the dunes muttering to himself incoherently. Eventually, he was forgotten, blending in with the hermits and madmen common to that region, forgotten by all save one.

    You say, 'Who is the one?'

    Marl Kastane says 'Innoruuk had not forsaken Lhranc. Once his rage and hate had matured and sufficiently altered his soul, the dark prince summoned him and gave him dominion over the demons that had enslaved his mind. He was given a weapon that made him powerful enough to slay any enemy that stood in his way. He was to become the first human to harness the power of the almighty shadowknight. After years of traveling and teaching mankind his newfound abilities, Lhranc sneaked back into Freeport through a series of sewers in search of revenge against his brother and in hopes of kidnapping Kyrenna, the source of his obsession. Waiting until Glohnor was alone, Lhranc sprang from the shadows and slew his brother. This was the act that brought about his curse.

    You say, 'What curse?'

    Marl Kastane says 'As I said, Glohnor was highly favored by the Lightbringer. When the contemptible god of honor discovered what had been done, he transformed Lhranc into a deformed spectral knight and placed him in the ruined city. Lhranc then used what remained of his power to summon Kyrenna to his side and bind her there in a timeless, seamless sphere. He struggled for centuries to break her will and convince her to serve Innoruuk, certain that together they could remove his curse. But then, there was the prediction.

    You say, 'What prediction?'

    Marl Kastane says 'The prophecy states that one day Kyrenna will escape the clutches of Lhranc and that she will resurrect Glohnor. Together, it reads, they will destroy Lhranc and undo all he has done. I trust that I do not need to tell you, {Your name} , that this would decimate our foothold in Norrath. When the prophecy was written, its words spread across the land. A dark council was held to construct a plan that would frustrate the words of the prophets. My ancestors were responsible for robbing Glohnor's tomb and securing his remains. For generations we have been charged with the duty of guarding those remains and the secret plan, should the corpse be discovered.

    You say, 'What secret plan?'

    Marl Kastane says 'The plan is a last resort only to be tried if Kyrenna indeed escapes and the remains are discovered. Judging by my brother's words that time is now. It will take the most powerful hero all the courage and dedication he can muster to complete the ritual.

    You say, 'I will complete the ritual'

    Marl Kastane says 'It would seem we have no choice, and this is our only hope. I must first make a dark shroud. To do this I must stain it with the blood of an innocent. Go find me this rare blood so I can start the creating of the shroud.

    In the Hole, in a jail cell, you may find Caradon.

    You say, 'hail Caradon'

    Caradon says 'Please help me get out of here! My companion, Kyrenna, and I are trapped in this hellish place!

    You say, 'Who is Kyrenna?'

    Caradon says 'I was with Kyrenna when she attempted to revive the corpse of Glohnor the Valiant. Like fools, we rushed into a trap. Now we sit here and await our deaths.'

    You say, 'Where is Kyrenna?'

    Caradon says 'She is close by. For a price, I shall tell you. Bring me the key to my freedom and I will betray her, who sentenced me to this fate.'

    In the city area of the Hole you can find "a chest," which sometimes drops a Cell Key.

    Take the Cell Key to Caradon.
    Caradon says 'Kyrenna! We are free!

    The Ritual Completion or The Mummy Undressing

    Take Blood of Kyrenna to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane says 'Here, you take this shroud. You must now find the spirit of glohnor and place this item on him. This should force him back into his mummified body and then you must destroy this newly raised form and return to me its wrappings.'

    Lhranc says 'Ahh, at last I can free myself of this prison! Centuries have passed since I enjoyed the fruits of mortality.' He hurls the components above his head where they remain suspended in midair. They hover in place while he chants the words of an ancient spell. As he speaks, the items begin to rotate around his head, slowly at first, then faster as the chanting grows louder, until it spins in a blur. Soon, the room is filled with a deafening shriek that pierces you to the core. Lhranc hurls a coin at you and laughs, 'Here is your reward fool.'

    Your faction standing with True Spirit got better. (What is the actual faction hit here?) Receive Lhranc's Token.

    After a brief pause..

    Lhranc says 'Young one, you cannot fathom how long it has been since I breathed air and felt flesh on my bones. I told you I would show you a weapon that would make you the most powerful of your kind. I said nothing of giving it to you. Feast your eyes on Innoruuk's Curse mortal, thank you for your service. At this point, if you are not satisfied with his answer, you better start using some force.

    Auto attack on. Lhranc slashes YOU for 385 points of damage.
    ... You have slain Lhranc! You gain party experience!!

    Lhranc - Level 60 shadowknight - Immune from any spells. Procs a direct damage spell.
    Approximate forces required: three 50+ groups.

    Upon killing Lhranc, Marl Kastane appears nearby.

    Marl Kastane says 'Alas, I cannot be the one to carry the sword back to my people as proof in fear they will kill me to possess it for their own. I think a simple trade is in order, perhaps you have a symbol or token of Lhranc's that I could take back to the others to ease their worries?

    Hand the Lhranc's Token to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane says 'Very good, I will go deliver this right away.'

    You receive the Innoruuk's Curse.

    Your take a negative faction hit to Truespirit faction to 0 out the faction.

    you guys get a 240 lifetap-dot with a duration of about 1 and 1/2 minutes (i think) not bad considering it kicks the paladins weapons ******

    I heard that it was a bit more powerfull than this. 240hp over 15 ticks is extremely sub-par compared to the other proc/effect on the other weapons found so far. What I heard was 400hp dot lifetap over about 10 ticks(1 minute). This could be wrong too though. Well just have to finish the quest and find out for ourselves.

    Not sure if this will help but i was going thru Butcher Block and though i would kill Peg Leg for a little revenge( he spawns in one of the bandit camps everytime). After i killed him a wolf spawned i hailed it and he said some mean stuff to me. So i killed him and my faction with True Spirit got worse. No clue if this will help you but thats my two cents worth.

    I had Peg Leg charmed and out on the docks when he turned on me and I killed him... a lesser spirit spawned and he glowered at me, talking about my breath and all. So with a little compulsion I brought him up to amiable and he asked "Did you kill this person, shaman?"

    I tried a few things, then said I was no shaman to which he despawned. I assume saying "I am a shaman" will produce a different effect... but either way, he was green to a 22nd level and I suspect he's all about shamans.

    WILL OF INNORUUK FOUND!!!
    # Oct 07 2000 at 7:43 PM Rating: Decent
    I HAVE FOUND THE WILL OF INNORUUK!!! Last night me and my guild raided Felwithe, the paladin guild master had it on him!!! When I saw it I said WTF is an Elven Paldin guild master doing with this book called will of Innoruuk? It is no drop so the person who looted it could not read the language and we could not pass it around. Raiding the Paladin guild was much easier than we thought. We zoned in invis to get past newbie guards. When in we stayed near the entrance and I pulled the front guards there, they are a piece of cake, conned green at lvl 60. Only once did 4 pull at the same time, other time they pulled 2 at a time. We then advanced to the paladin guild, right near the front of the entrance, I went in and pulled a few paladins, I was surprised to see the guild master did not come in the train, I guess he was too far away from others which were next to door. Then we all went in and attacked him full force. We killed him with only 1 death, but what confused the hell out of me there was why he didn't use LOH, maybe we kille dhim before he had a chance. Well he had the will of Innoruuk on him and we died trying to raid the Cleric guild.

    hi all,
    i noticed some new npcs in the qeynos sewers guild. all but one SK , i dont rember the exact name but it was like "tryden" well something like. the reason i think he might be on the truespirt faction list is. every one else i am amiable to. to him i am apprhensive. since my SK is only 20 i have no idea what lvl he is. my high lvl wiz is needless to say kos in the bertoxx guild.

    as for all the other NPCs in the sewer guild. they are spell merchants for clerics.
    new NPC is Teydar
    # Oct 07 2000 at 10:20 AM Rating: Default
    The Decrepit Sheath is fashioned by Teydar. He is located in the Qeynos Sewers.
    You say, 'hail Teydar'
    Teydar says 'Hello, It's good to see another shadowknight. I'm Teydar, I've made it my life to fashion suitable scabbard and sheaths for our order.
    You say, 'what is the decrepit sheath?'
    Teydar says 'The object you desire is very difficult to fashion, nearly impossible, really. All I can offer to do is try. The real difficulty is the contents that give the sheath its power. They have to be of an almost equal evil. I think some kind of decrepit hide, a drake spine along with a bar of enchanted platinum should prove enough to make this item.
    Decrepit hide is dropped by Ashenbone drakes in the plane of Hate. Drake spine is dropped by Rhazar in Rathe Mountains.
    Teydar says 'I did it! The pieces you got me were perfect! It took a huge effort on my part to craft this, of course. it saddens me that I'm unable to keep one of my best works. A deal is a deal. There is honor among shadowknights.

    The Quest thus Far:
    # Oct 03 2000 at 9:24 PM Rating: Decent
    Since none of you will go the eqforge.com i'm bringing it to you. This is not my original post but it is a summary of the quest thus far:

    Kirron Ni appears in the Overthere outpost.
    You say, 'hail Kurron Ni'
    Kurron Ni says 'Out of my way, stranger, I am on a delicate mission. Interfere with my search and I shall relieve you of your head! Bother me no more.
    You say, 'What do you seek?'
    Kurron Ni says 'I have traveled here in hopes of finding a soul worthy of assisting me in completing my mission.
    You say, 'I am worthy'
    Kurron Ni says 'I doubt it, but I have been wrong before. Before I share with you the details of my mission, however, you must first prove your worthiness. Agreed?
    You say, 'Agreed'
    Kurron Ni says 'Very well then, my new friend. I have an acquaintance that stands in need of three pieces of Darkforge Armor. He requires the breast, greaves and helm to complete his set. I also must pay back a loan that has come due in the amount of 900 platinum. Return this to me and I shall share with you my dark mission, and the immeasurable reward that will be earned at its completion. Show your face here without fulfilling my request and I will offer you on the altar to Innoruuk himself. Be off!
    Hand in the required items.
    Kurron Ni says 'Well done, , I honestly didn't expect to see you again. Yes, yes, this is perfect! My mission is nearly complete!
    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit got better
    You say, 'What mission?'
    Kurron Ni says 'My mission was to find a pathetic shadowknight and bring him closer to Innoruuk. You volunteered. By exercising my superior powers of persuasion, I have now taken from you a fine suit of armor and enough coin to ensure that I will be sleeping neither soberly nor alone for quite some time! Now I ask you, worthy shadowknight, do you not feel the fires of hatred coursing through your veins like never before? That is the very reward I spoke of! You have been brought closer to my master. My mission is complete! You foolish excuse for a dark knight, I shall take your head and tell all of your generous donation to the mighty Teir'Dal rogues!
    Kurron Ni punches YOU for 200 points of damage.
    You have slain Kurron Ni!
    You gain party experience!!
    You find a "letter to Duriek" on his corpse that reads:
    Duriek, I have searched this godless pit for what seems to be an eternity with nothing to show for my efforts. I pray to Innoruuk that you have made some breakthrough in your research. Please update me as to your progress. In the meanwhile I have run into some unexpected expenses and will need some funds to carry on. An additional ten thousand should suffice.
    Regards, Karnett
    Duriek Bloodpool can be found in Paineel. Hand him the letter you have... found.
    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Yes, most unfortunate. I was informed last week of the death of my most recent apprentice. A few months ago, I paid a substantial sum to a group of rogues sent from Neriak to collect on a gambling debt. He swore to me that was the end of it, but I suspected otherwise. My warnings of gambling with the rogues fell on deaf ears. Please accept this for your troubles.
    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit got better
    You gain experience!!
    Despite what Duriek tells you, you receive no item nor money.
    You say, 'What apprentice?'
    Duriek Bloodpool says 'As stubborn and foolish as he sometimes was, he was full of potential. Had he managed to achieve my age he doubtless would have surpassed my abilities. Though I am not surprised at his passing, he will be sorely missed. Well, I thank you for your efforts. Feel free to meet me in the tavern for a drink sometime. I must now get to the task of replacing my associate.
    You say, 'I will replace him'
    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Hmm, you seem a bit green and I hesitate to trust you with such an important work, but time is of the essence as my days in this world are running out. Bring me back a bottle of cough elixir and, if you are still interested, I will instruct you further.
    Head to Neriak Foreign Quarter. Find Smaka.
    You say, 'hail Smaka'
    Smaka says 'You want stuff? Or mebby you looks for a cure?
    You say, 'I need a bottle of cough elixir'
    Smaka says 'Ahh, you want me cure?! It cost lots of money, big big secret it is. Only us ogres know how to make. You wants? Only 1000 platinum! Make you feels bedder in no times!
    Hand her 1000 platinum
    Smaka says 'Okay, enjoy me drink!
    Your faction standing with DarkBargainers got better
    Your faction standing with DreadguardOuter got better
    Your faction standing with DreadguardInner got better
    You get "Cough Elixir". Magic,Lore,No drop, WT 0.0, Class: None, Race: HUM,ERU,HEF,IKS
    Head back to Paineel. Hand Duriek cough elixir.
    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Thank you. Now, quickly, there is not much time for me. What I tell you here now must never be shared with another soul. I have spent the better part of my life piecing together clues for the creation of a legendary dark blade, a corrupted Ghoulbane. I am very close to understanding the method used in manipulating the enchantments of the Ghoulbane, but in my current condition, I cannot finish collecting the research. My previous apprentice was searching for this last clue when he met his untimely demise.
    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit got better
    Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.
    You say, 'where was he searching?'
    Duriek Bloodpool says 'I possess a key that will open a sealed tome to be found somewhere in the ruins uncovered here not long ago. Recover that tome for me and I am certain I will be able to corrupt the Ghoulbane. My name will be etched in history and you will wield a legend! You must hurry now, and I must return to my studies. Do not return to me, , without the tome.
    Head to the Hole and kill a ratman guard. They spawn in the jail area as roamers. Get a dusty tome off the guard's corpse.
    Go back to Duriek and hand the dusty tome to him.
    Duriek Bloodpool gasps at you in astonishment, eyes beaming with pride and says, 'You've found it! It seems I underestimated you. You have succeeded where others failed. I feared it would never come to pass.' Duriek takes the key from his neck, softly muttering some words, and places it in a previously unseen keyhole. The book's hinges creak as Duriek pulls it open. After reading for a few moments, he says, 'It is even better than I had hoped! It will take me weeks to uncover a portion of what this book has to offer. But this is what I have been searching for, so many years! At last I know the items required to corrupt that accursed blade!'
    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit got better
    Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.
    You say, 'what items?'
    Duriek Bloodpool says 'I will need the Ghoulbane, the Soul Leech, the Blade of Abrogation, and the Decrepit Sheath. Alas, I am far too ill to travel and collect these pieces. I must call upon your youth and ability again, . Return to me with these items and I shall be known throughout history as the greatest grave lord to have walked Norrath and you shall be among the most powerful in our art.



    The Decrepit Sheath is fashioned by Teydar. He is located in the Qeynos Sewers.
    You say, 'hail Teydar'
    Teydar says 'Hello, It's good to see another shadowknight. I'm Teydar, I've made it my life to fashion suitable scabbard and sheaths for our order.
    You say, 'what is the decrepit sheath?'
    Teydar says 'The object you desire is very difficult to fashion, nearly impossible, really. All I can offer to do is try. The real difficulty is the contents that give the sheath its power. They have to be of an almost equal evil. I think some kind of decrepit hide, a drake spine along with a bar of enchanted platinum should prove enough to make this item.
    Decrepit hide is dropped by Ashenbone drakes in the plane of Hate. Drake spine is dropped by Rhazar in Rathe Mountains.
    Teydar says 'I did it! The pieces you got me were perfect! It took a huge effort on my part to craft this, of course. it saddens me that I'm unable to keep one of my best works. A deal is a deal. There is honor among shadowknights.

    Duriek Bloodpool takes the Ghoulbane and places the other swords on either side of it. The sheath begins to gleam so intensely, you can see the bones inside Duriek's hands. After several minutes, there is a final, blinding flash. Duriek collapses to the ground. After a few moments, Duriek motions you closer and whispers, 'You have done well. I wish fate had been kinder to me and allowed me your aid years ago, I might have lived long enough to enjoy the fame our combined efforts. I studied much of the tome you retrieved and have stumbled upon something that may be the key to unleashing darkness upon the face of Norrath forever. You must seek out a powerful lich by the name of Lhranc. Farewell, Brael .' With his last bit of energy, Duriek places the corrupted Ghoulbane in your hands.
    The sword is 1HS 16/34 effect dismiss undead and looks like a Ghoulbane.
    RE: The Quest thus Far:
    # Oct 03 2000 at 9:26 PM Rating: Default
    Like the title implies this is just a part of the quest. The corrupted ghoulbane stats suck but now we need to finish the rest of it... I'm sure the reward will be well worth the effort.
    Heart of an Innocent found!!!
    # Oct 02 2000 at 7:35 PM Rating: Default
    Ok guys here is what we have been waiting for. After hemming and hawwing for a couple of days myself and guild had killed just about anyone and every one we could think of that might be in Verants eyes "innocent" Many corpse later, on both sides of the scuffle we had still come up empty, until a newbie in N Freeport asked where the paladin guild was. DING! (Light bulb goes off) So off to the paladin guild we went. Now for the fun part with 6 full group of 50+ persons we slaughted the guild and only lost 8 person throughout the battle. The heart can be found on the Guild leader who hits like a 53+ dragon, is almost 100% magic resistance and, of course uses LOH. Tactics to kill him are similar to killing VOX, but with out the continius full heal she uses.

Sorry to be such a stickler but im not about to go into the Paladin guild and risk the life of all my friends if that heart isn't there. I know if i were you my screenshots would be going off like mad because that would be one great Shadow Knight story to tell all the kiddies about back in Neriak. So please could you post a picture of the item or atleast you waxing a bunch of pallies inside Freeport. I know a Shadow Knight's word is pure(evil) but i would love some proof.

    If someone was killing them to see if he dropped the heart and then found out they were wrong then it would not confirm the truth at all. We still don't now for sure what the results of the raid were.

    There is a new camp of Bloodsabres along the North Wall in WK. 4 of them... Cleric, 2 warriors, and a Necro... The were all green to a 35 except the necro, who is red.

    Loc is 1200, neg 12000

    They would not respond to hails, questions, or being given a copper.

    I cannot believe we have to kill a MegaMOB just to start the quest... seems like Kurron Ni should be closer to the end.
    Ok ill tell ya...

    Well boys, i have a pretty good handle on the quest but have been keeping it to myself because i wanted to be the first, but i just found out you cant complete it untill 50 plus


    In Raith mnts, there is a new NPC, he will only talk to 50 plus :(. I had a guild member Sk lvl 53 hail him, and he said he needed the head of a Valiant paladin, i dont remember the name of the paladin, but i do remember he was around level 35.

    Sick and tired of seeing the negative posts.

    So let me summarize a few points:

    1)Some of the Quest is still unknown. Big deal. The end may justify the means.

    2)Rogues, were first, who is going to be second? Someone had to be first DUH

    3)For those who dont want to admit it, SEVERAL SK's have a good handle on this quest but are not sharing one ounce of information. Their Guilds are assisting them so thay me be the first. Good for them! I applaud the effort.

    4)I will sit back on my Lazy-Boy in Neriak and watch those others spend countless hours running around the world. The others will bicker and fight.

    I play a 44 TSK and i have had alot of ups and downs. However, we do kick butt. Although our spells are weak and we dont get Disiplines that enables us to outdamage Rouges, Monks and Warriors we still do really well. Prob is the slow lvling we have to deal with. No one said it would be easy and we definatly do not kick *** like it said when i first made my char. Without more melee potential after 50 i wouldnt do it all over agian.

    Man... please... SK is a very comlicated character to play, certainly not easy, but by no means weak. While we are complex, we are also very versatile, and can do things no other can do. If you want easy, go play a druid, whining is ok if you're a treehugger.

    Lets not state what everyone already knows.

    Playing an SK effectively is more than haveing the "best spell", the "best weapons" and the "best armor"

    Yes Shadow knights make great Pullers. But, that dosen't mean that anyone who plays an SK is a good puller.

    Any person with Half a Brain Can Fear Kite.

    From my point of View the Spells aren't meant to be HUGE damage spells on the Higher
    MOBs. I don't understand why people think we are supposed to be as effective as NECROs in that respect. Instead i find the spells Very effective if Iam camping some lower level mobs solo or just roaming around killing paladins or food selling Shopkeepers. heh heh

    As far as people thinking Verant doesn't care about SKs is very narrow minded. Almost every class has a gripe and think they are ignored.

    Shadow Knights are perfect Melee Class. Don't think that this titel comes without a pirce..

    If you havet figured out by level 39 what a well rounded class you are playing, perhaps you should pick another. I personnaly started to become really glad I chose an SK at around level 30 with FD and Gather Shadows. SKs are good pullers, excelent Fear-Kiters, and excelent at PvP. Stop whining and stick to the quest thread.

    Shadow Knights Quests are WAY over-extended. Our Spells suck and our pets suck even worse.

    Whats the point of being a Shadow Knight if you cant do anything or even get a decent quest weapon (if any shadow knight can ever find the beginning of one) In other words We are in Verants world and their world sucks ***!

    its obvious by your post here that you have not looked at the SK post lvl 50 spells, we made out very well on the 50 to 60 spells, and even at 50 once we get our quest spell, we are very tough, if you think it sucks so bad play a diff class

    Have anyone got this item from innoruuk ?
    We killd him last night and he dident drop it ..

    # Oct 03 2000 at 10:51 PM Rating: Default
    Who says the Will drops off Innoruuk himself? Just a thought, but what if the "will" part is literal. Sorta a manifesto of Innoruuk's eventual emergence on the mortal plane, given to his trusted emissary. This is probably a long long LONG shot, but what if the Cleric or Shadowknight guild leader in Neriak holds this Will? Or maybe they send you on a quest to get it.

    This probably won't go anywhere, but heck, it'd be great to not have to farm the planes to get our uber-item! =0)

    My friend i think u have one of the items that is needed in completeing this quest. From what i have read there are 4 things needed in completeing this quest with are as follows, moss (mace of shadowed souls), heart of pure (rumored to be a cleric in gf), the head of a valiant, and the will of inny. This is all that i have found but not sure if it is what that is needed to do quest or not.

    The fourth thing could only be the corrupted Ghoulbane. What else could it be. You are going in with the NPC assuming you are going through the quest in the logical order. And its a hell of a checkpoint to insure you dont skip half the quest.

    [Sat Sep 23 19:51:44 2000] Logging to 'eqlog.txt' is now *ON*.
    [Sat Sep 23 19:51:45 2000] You say, 'hail Kurron Ni'
    [Sat Sep 23 19:51:46 2000] Kurron Ni says 'Out of my way, stranger, I am on a delicate mission. Interfere with my search and I shall relieve you of your head! Bother me no more.
    [Sat Sep 23 19:51:51 2000] You say, 'what do you seek'
    [Sat Sep 23 19:51:51 2000] Kurron Ni says 'I have traveled here in hopes of finding a soul worthy of assisting me in completing my mission.
    [Sat Sep 23 19:51:54 2000] Nhalia tells you, 'hmm, i guess we can still do it then :P'
    [Sat Sep 23 19:51:58 2000] You say, 'i am worthy'
    [Sat Sep 23 19:51:58 2000] Kurron Ni says 'I doubt it, but I have been wrong before. Before I share with you the details of my mission, however, you must first prove your worthiness. Agreed?
    [Sat Sep 23 19:52:11 2000] You say, 'agreed'
    [Sat Sep 23 19:52:12 2000] Kurron Ni says 'Very well then, my new friend. I have an acquaintance that stands in need of three pieces of Darkforge Armor. He requires the breast, greaves and helm to complete his set. I also must pay back a loan that has come due in the amount of 900 platinum. Return this to me and I shall share with you my dark mission, and the immeasurable reward that will be earned at its completion. Show your face here without fulfilling my request and I will offer you on the altar to Innoruuk himself. Be off!
    [Sat Sep 23 19:53:40 2000] Kurron Ni says 'Well done, Atrian , I honestly didn't expect to see you again. Yes, yes, this is perfect! My mission is nearly complete!
    [Sat Sep 23 19:53:40 2000] Your faction standing with TrueSpirit got better
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:13 2000] You say, 'what mission ?'
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:14 2000] Kurron Ni says 'My mission was to find a pathetic shadowknight and bring him closer to Innoruuk. You volunteered. By exercising my superior powers of persuasion, I have now taken from you a fine suit of armor and enough coin to ensure that I will be sleeping neither soberly nor alone for quite some time! Now I ask you, worthy shadowknight, do you not feel the fires of hatred coursing through your veins like never before? That is the very reward I spoke of! You have been brought closer to my master. M
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:14 2000] y mission is complete! You foolish excuse for a dark knight, I shall take your head and tell all of your generous donation to the mighty Teir'Dal rogues!
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:14 2000] Kurron Ni punches YOU for 112 points of damage.
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:14 2000] Kurron Ni tries to punch YOU, but YOU parry!
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:16 2000] You begin your casting.
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:16 2000] Your Blood Ember Greaves begins to glow.

    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:18 2000] Kurron Ni tries to punch YOU, but YOU riposte!
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:18 2000] Kurron Ni punches YOU for 160 points of damage.
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:19 2000] You regain your concentration and continue your casting.
    [Sat Sep 23 19:54:21 2000] You say, 'fu'

    after killing him you get a note that reads:
    Duriek, I have searched this godless pit for what seems to be an eternity with nothing
    to show for my efforts. I pray to Innoruuk that you have made some breakthrough in your
    research. Please update me as to your progress. In the meanwhile I have run into some
    unexpected expenses and will need some funds to carry on. An additional ten thousands
    should suffice. Regards, Karnett

    No no no... This is wrong somehow. The guy mentions armor not weaponry... Somehow this seems very off. This might be another quest but maybe not the weapon quest. Perhaps something leading up to it... However a point remains very true. If they make this a post 50 quest and Kunark based they have *** raped the people that didn't buy kunark over throughly. Should this turn out as true I feel very sorry for the people who didn't buy Kunark.

    The question that comes to my mind is, why would we have to kill such a high level npc to start the quest? verant is, if anything, **** retentive when it comes to how they implement things. So far none of the other class weapon quests require killing the start quest npc right at the beginning, why would this on. Somehow I don't think killing him is the right step. Might need to do or say something to get the note from him.

Not knowing what words to use, I said what mission and then after a 30 second fight I was dead. Just want everyone to know that if the above post is correct I would bring some friends to help. This guy was red to me at 51. This guy is in Overthere. When walking into overthere walk over to the skeleton marines and then head straight to the water. U will run into him. Sorry didnt get loc.

    Well to whomever thought why would we have to kill the guy to start the quest. Read what he says carefully. He scams you, then taunts you, asking if you feel the bruning inside. Basically we are SK's all we know is death so killing the first leg of our quest dont surprise me in the least. I'm glad he's been found. I'm currently in Hate atm soon as I leave tho I'm headed stright for him. I have bad VS faction from my hunts in Karnors. I'm just gonna get some people and go kill him see if he still drops the note. Might not have to give up the armor or plat to begin the quest.

    Hmmm,

    "btw Valeer unless you have a main 46+ you are full of crap :P thank you have a nice day."

    Ok, So are you are saying here that, no matter what, unless I have a planes-capable character, I obviously could not have read ANY other message board (and there are several) from SK's who ARE planes capable?

    Or is it that you are suggestiong that until you hit the magical level of 46 that your opinions or thoughts on the matter are worthless, and that I could not possibly think of something that was in the wording of the logfile that someone else was missing?

    I notice a lot of people asking for the log files so they can read through them indicating that we are able to deduce infomation from reading the logs and thinking through the process.

    Now, I'd rather not turn this rather well-organized board into a flame-rant session, but I'd also like to point out that Verant has a habit of making a lot of the similar quests somewhat cookie-cutter like, so we can look at the other classes quests and see where they are starting out. Many of the other classes are able to start their quests QUITE early, and many in my guild in the 30-40 range are already doing them. (Mages need words taken from MoBs in the 30's and 40's hunting area for example, or the Bard's Relay Quest... or the Ranger's Painting quest all can be done by a player in that range with little to no problem) So I can only suggest that there may be something that we can do to START the quest pre-50s.

    However, since apparently I am "full of crap" as you so eloquently put it, I'll refrain from posting further to this thread.

    I was in Dread Lands at the time so I didn't check out the validity of this claim, but once i get on later tonight, I'll check it out and see if there's any truth to it.
