    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..

    The quest guide states that you can obtain darkforge pieces in CT but isnt CT 50+? or is it reffering to stuff out side of cazic thule temple?

    This quest is quite hard. The decrepit sheath was hard, and waiting to loot Soul Leech from Caizic took a LONG time=( It is a pain to get the items, and killing Kyrenna was also hard. But, the epic in my opinion is one of the best (and it looks the best) so it will be worth the trouble. I'm almost done, I just need to get the Will of Innoruuk and then kill Lhranc and WOOT got my epic. =)

    Can Decrepit Sheath be MQ'd?
    # Jun 03 2002 at 4:08 AM Rating: Decent
    Looted hide on first Hate Raid (no SK's) as noone wanted it. Later find out from a raid member that a guildy says it is for his SK epic. The guildy and I talk and I told him that IF it can be MQ'd and I can get there to do it with my factions I would gladly help him.

    So, does anyone know if it can be MQ'd or not? He has the other items he says.

    Yes it can be Multiquested. If you are KOS to the Bloodsabres then you will have problems getting to Teydar for the turn in. The way around this is to have someone who is not KOS to Bloodsabres attack Teydar and pull him near the zone. Then have the SK start hailing him to hold him there. You hand him the Decrepit hide but don't hit trade. Have someone invis you so your faction goes to indiff. The SK hands the other items in but doesn't hit trade. You hit trade he hits trade and bingo he has the sheath.

    I would just like to verify that the Venerable Drakang was exactly correct. Did the MQ yesterday for someone other than the original person I was going to let have it as the original person didnt seem too anxious to give it a shot. WHY I dont know, he has been to PoH 36 times and never got it to drop. As it turned out, the person who got it and the original person are good friends. =)

    Anyways, as I said, we did it EXACTLY like Drakang stated. Beware though, there are some NASTIES down there and they dont care if you are an SK or not. Smacked the SK doing the quest with a 1101pt HT to start=) When the mob came around the corner I was hit with Spectral Shackles and after 7 hits between 310 and 356 I was toast.

    I have what I would consider Paladin type faction in FP and Qeynos and Teydar was Dubious to me. Put the pelt in the window and was re-invised and became Indiff. SK put items in the window as well. I hit trade, he hit trade then we all started cheering!

    Only help I really have to add other than confirmation it works, is that you need to go in to the Catacombs near the Arena. Seems he is easiest to pull there. Or closest maybe. We tried going in via the hidden entrance to the left of the NQ gate but had trouble finding him.

    You did the quest out-of-order. Very bad thing. You must do it in order to have the proper truespirit faction.

    There are ways to gain truespirit faction and skip parts of the quest, but I highly recommend doing it in order.

    As stated here several times. Kurron Ni is not on outpost faction. He is far enough away from all other mobs that you can talk to him and kill him with no fear of adds. After the hand in pull him down to the beach near the wall to ensure you have plenty of room and for even more safety. I am hated in the outpost and have stood face to face with him with no aggro by outpost mobs.

    If you zone into Rathe Mountains from Feerott follow the wall on the left. It leads into an area in the southwest corner of the zone. There is a big pyramid that will occasionally have a large sphinx on it. Ignore the Sphinx. Kill just about everything around that area. Especially all the small drakes. After anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours of doing this Rhazar will spawn. When you see Rhazar RUN>
    Then try to find about 6-18 friends (amount depends on levels 6 57+ should do it or 12 50+ with a few over 55+) When they get to the southwestern area group up buff up and go Rhazar and kill away.

    # Jun 03 2002 at 3:58 AM Rating: Decent
    LOL, Hate ME more. I went on my very first Plane Raid and it was to hate at 46 yesterday. The hide was on the first Ashenbone Drake we killed and noone wanted it because noone knew what it was for. Even had a few people say "Junk Loot". Now I dont know about you but when you have to go all the way to the Planes to get something off a 50s mob that says "MAGIC - LORE - NO DROP" it HAS to be for something. I waited until the corpse was less than 1 minute from rotting, asked for objections to me looting it (none) and looted it.

    Later a raid member tells me that an SK in her guild just said he would kill for it as her guildy says it is a hard to get piece of the SK epic. I said I would gladly help him if it can be MQ'd.

    So I will post that above to make sure it gets noticed if I dont see the MQ thing mentioned later on in these threads.

    this is a good walkthrough, its the best ive seen, but the only thing this thing is missing is the dark forge part, can u make a walkthrough of that quest just as detailed as this one? and i hear u only need to turn in BP, Helm and Legs, can u just get those without trying to get the other slots? can u buy those peices or do u have to do quest because thers some faction that needs to be gained? and where does decayed drop? i hear CT and then i hear they changed it to mobs spawning in ferrot droping decayed. an updated walkthrough of the dark foge quest would be greatly apreciated, thanks!
    RE: FabianDude
    # Apr 08 2002 at 5:22 PM Rating: Decent
    You can just buy the Darkforge pieces for the quest. You dont need faction from the Darkforge Quest. They are not that expensive anymore, although people 'may' try to charge you more for them if they see your an SK (someone tried to do that with a rare spell(Shroud of Death), so my roommate a druid bought it from the same girl for the price me tried to give her, lol). I wouldnt pay higher than 1k fer BP and 500pp for legs/helm pieces. The only reason why they would even sell that high is because they are SK epic quest related. If you look up the armor on this sight it will tell you how to do the quest. The only the thing that has changed is that the mobs in ferrot drop decayed now as you posted. It was kinda a pain in da **** camp by the time me did it(No Exp, but easily soloable). Me was getting really unlucky on the decayed drops and had hard time getting 1 piece to drop. It did feel really rewarding when that one piece did drop though! Good luck on obtaining them :).

    # Mar 06 2002 at 11:18 AM Rating: Excellent
    The reason you gotta hail Kurron Ni and kill him and give him stuff etc is that at one point in this game there wasnt a website telling you exactly where to go what to do or how to talk nicely to a troll.

    The quest is triggered by talking to Kurron Ni you do what he wants to find out how to do the next part. And so on and so on.

    The name of the game is EverQUEST not EverGOTMYEPIC. Its an epic QUEST so you do the QUEST and the reward for doing the QUEST is a bloody nice weapon.

    As an indication, when you first spoke to an NPC (in my case it was the bloke outside the war guild in Kaladim) and see the triggre words in brackets you responded to see what he wanted. Then I ran outside scrimped up 5 gold and managed to kill two scarabs and get their shells, took them back to him and got a _Smelly_ green ac4 helm back that reduced my charisma.

    So the first person to talk to kurron Ni found that the reward for giving him all hte crap was to be killed by him. then he got a group of his mates togehter to kill him back and took the note to duriek which led on to the end.

    Think of playing the quests rather than the ultimate search for the mega death uber weapon!

    # Mar 06 2002 at 2:33 AM Rating: Decent
    doin each part of the quest ups your True Spirit faction which is needed to do the final parts of the quest. if you skip Kurron and get all the way to the end somehow, and try the final part, i would imagine the quest would fail and all that work would be for nothing. so just follow the dang rules to be safe. or don't at your peril.

    YOU CAN "NOT" do the cough elixer before you do the note. I got my faction up and after reading all the CRAP people have posted about doing it any time, I turned some in. He ate it and I NOTHING happened. There would be no point in killing Kurron Ni and no reason to do the DF quests otherwise and you could skip this step. YOU CANNOT SKIP KURRON NI. Once and for all. Unless someone knows a 'trick' they're not letting on too, I wasted 1k pp.

    I would guess that the "dark sword of blood" is the soul leech. Im not sure why its typed as such in a different name, but further on in the quest it doesnt make reference to it so it can only be assumed as the soul leech and a typo. As for drops off of CT, I would assume that he doesnt drop it every time as a regular drop only because its as high lv mob with multi drops, though Ive heard of the soul leech dropping off the guards of CT in PoF outside of where he dwells. God knows the epic drops off naggy arent static.

    you can do the cough elixir at anytime as well as the sheath with Tayder in Queynos Acqueduct. You can also kill the ratman guard for the tome at anytime. But since most of this requires handing in more than one item or needing of faction it is best to do it in order.
    Can any parts be skipped?
    # Feb 17 2002 at 1:18 AM Rating: Default
    As I was reading through this, I noticed that a lot of the first part seems to be pointless. Your faction doesn't change and no items are handed back until you do the part for the corrupted ghoulbane.
    I had already purchased cough elixer long ago before I ruined my neriak faction, so I decided to test to see if I could skip or not.
    I went to Duriek Bloodpool (cons apprehensive) and said "Where was he searching?" (what you normally say AFTER giving him the cough elixer) and he replied with the proper phrase.
    Next, I handed him the cough elixer and he said "I will do nothing to aid beings like you."
    but again, I said "Where was he searching?" and he still replied with the proper phrase.

    Did I mess something up or do I really have to do the begining part of the quest?

    Yes an Iskar can do this. Kurron Ni spawns near the beach in the corner so you can go in invis or swim around the wall. You can pull him down further into the corner for the fight with no worries about adds.

    Go to the Warrens and kill until you are Dubious to the skeleton guards at then beginning of the paineel newbie area. When you go into the warrens take 1 stack of food and 1 stack of water and fill all your inventory slots with as big a bags as you can get. The only loot you really want is the molars.

    Now get someone to open the door to paineel for you. In the castle is a High guard lliric (something like that. Look it up to make sure) You need to give him the molars. However he will not give you anything unless you con apprehensive or better. SOOO Put Hide on a hotkey(i use slot 6) pick up a molar and click it on him to give it to him. Just as you give it hit the hotkey(#6 in my case) You have a small window between turning the item in and the trade window opening where the hide command will work. Now do a /con If he comes back indiff hit trade. if not cancel the trade and try again. Takes a bit to get the timing but it works. 8 slots of 8or 10 slot backpacks should hold enough molars to take you to above indiff. Then the skeleton near the elevator will give you a key if you ask for it. If you can't get the key yet get somebody to let you out and repeat. I did not have that many open inventory slots so I had to do 2 trips. Took about 4 or 5 hours but I am now amiable in paineel from just above KOS. You don't have to go that high just high enough to get your key. Also better faction lowers the cost of the hole key. All the epic mobs are on truespirit faction vice that of there surroundings.

    When you go se Marl in Kerra island you will get jumped by a few kitties. Smack them down and move on. They are easy by the time you are considering this. When you go into Kerra go straight across the bridge and then follow the path to the right. When you come into a large area Marl is in a small hut straight ahead of you on a rise near the wall. I go in invis, drop invis in his hut. Kill the 2 or 3 kitties that attack me then chat with him. He may not be up or there may be 2 of him up so make sure you talk to the right one for each part of the quest.

    You COULD do all that to get your Paineel faction up... or you could just go kill Eruidite guards in Erudin. One hour and thirty minutes (40 guards or so) will get you from dubious to ally.

Oh, and about the kitties agroing, SKs can invis themselves, just cast invis, look for Marl, then un-invis in his hut. I did it at least 30 times and never got agro from the other kitties.
