You'll want to do at least one mercenary quest in Katta Castrum: Deluge to get Scribe Oastalides to recommend you in this task.

This task can be obtained by speaking to a concerned citizen in the northeast corner of the city in Lceanium. He's on the Find tool (Ctrl+F)

You say, 'What task?'

You have been assigned the task 'Concerned Citizens'.




a concerned citizen says 'Go see Minister Larnum's page and receive a letter of [commendation].'

You say, 'What do I need for a commendation?'

a concerned citizen says 'The page will be able to tell you what is needed.'

  1. Speak with a harried page 0/1 Lceanium

    a harried page can be found in the main temple in Lceanium. /loc -960, 1075

    You say, 'commendation'

    a harried page says 'That's all? Well, I don't know you. Go get a letter of [recommendation] from [Scribe Oastalides]. I will also need a Form 241B and Form 989S. You can get them from the records clerk. Don't forget to fill the forms before you hand them to me.'

    You say, 'Why do I need a letter of recommendation?'

    Your task 'Concerned Citizens' has been updated.

    a harried page says 'Look. Can't you see how busy I am? Go see [Scribe Oastalides].'

    You say, 'Where is Scribe Oastalides?'

    a harried page says 'Really? You don't know. Are you [sure] you have helped the combine and deserve a commendation?'

    You say, 'I am sure.'

    a harried page says 'Fine, fine. I don't have time to argue. You can find him in Katta Castrum. I think they have the dome leaks under control.'

  2. Ask Scribe Oastalides to [recommend] you 0/1 Katta Castrum: Deluge

    Scribe Oastalides is at /loc -92, 61, 9 not far from the port in, by the portal to Tempest Temple.

    You say, 'Hail, Scribe Oastalides'

    Scribe Oastalides says 'What?'

    You say, 'recommend'

    If you haven't done any mercenary quests in Katta Castrum: Deluge yet :

    Scribe Oastalides says 'You want a recommendation, yet you have done [nothing] to help the Combine?'

    You say, 'nothing'

    Scribe Oastalides says 'I'm sure someone around here needs your help. I'm not going to hold your hand.'


    If your apprehensive with Scribe Oastalides:

    Scribe Oastalides says, 'Welcome back. While we can always use more help, you have been a great deal of help. Here is my recommendation.'
    You have been given: Scribe Oastildes' Recommendation
    Your task 'Concerned Citizens' has been updated.


    If you have done at least 1 mercenary quest in Katta Castrum: Deluge :

    Scribe Oastalides says 'Of course! You are indeed an ally of the Combine and we appreciate your service! Here is my recommendation.'

    You have been given: Scribe Oastalides' Recommendation.

    Your task 'Concerned Citizens' has been updated

    Head back to Lceanium and look for a records clerk at loc -1152.56, +1349.68, -42.34, southwest corner of the city, he's on the Find tool (Ctrl+F).

  3. Buy form 241B from a records clerk and fill it out 0/1 Lceanium

  4. Buy form 989S from a records clerk and fill it out 0/1 Lceanium

    Right-click the forms 10 times until they are completed. You can right-click and then duck, repeatedly, to speed up the form completing process.

  5. Deliver 1 completed form 241B to the harried page 0/1 Lceanium

  6. Deliver 1 completed form 989S to the harried page 0/1 Lceanium

  7. Deliver 1 Scribe Oastalides' Recommendation to the harried page. 0/1 Lceanium

    a harried page is inside the main room of the main building.

    You get a Combine Commendation.


  8. Deliver 1 Combine Commendation to the concerned citizen 0/1 Lceanium

  9. Speak with the page about the [Minister] 0/1 Lceanium

    You say, ‘Minister’

    A harried page glances at Minister Larnum, ‘I don’t know what you are [talking] about’

    You say, ‘talking’

    A harried page says, ‘Look, I don’t have time to talk about frivolous rumors. Shoo. Go Away.’ As he waves his hand like is dismissing you. He touches you wrist and you feel a slip of paper slide under your bracer, Did you miss the [meeting]?

    You say, ‘I missed the meeting.’

    A harried page says, ‘Hrmf. Well be more careful and go where the note told you.’

  10. Go to the location mentioned in the note from the page 0/1 Lceanium

    Page’s Note: Meet me near the six pillars standing alone. I will be on the side near the mountains. Please destroy this note once you have read it so it can’t be traced back to me.

    This is by the pillars located in the northwest corner of the city, loc -31.20, 1453.38, -63.32. There you'll find two "a regu praesitor silencer". Be careful as they are KoS and see through invis. They can be rooted.

    NOTE: If you have multiple people in the group who are on the same step, they need to stand back from this area or else 2 guards will spawn for everyone that runs into that area.


  11. Defeat the guards attempting to silence you 0/2 Lceanium

    Kill both silencers, then return to the page.

    If you were not fortunate enough to live, return to the harried page and say: [meeting] this will reset the task so you can re-spawn the guards without deleting the quest and starting over again.


  12. Ask the page about the [ambush] 0/1 Lceanium

a harried page looks terrified at seeing you. His eyes flash towards Minister Larnum and his hands shake badly. Before you can speak he shouts. 'You. Adventurer. I have a task for you. Go see [Ms. Westell].' He has a pleading look in his eyes.

Looks away nervously his eyes glancing at Minister Larnum.

no BUY update until you FILL it

The quest log doesn't update the step to BUY the form (i.e. make it disappear) until you right click it 10 times to FILL it out. Bad design.
You can right-click then duck then right-click, etc to speed up the filling out process.

The Katta Castrum: Deluge prerequisite tips

The zone Katta Castrum: Deluge is kind of a hassle to get to manually. See if you can use your guild portal or a wiz/druid port.

You have to do one quest there. I strongly recommend Tactician Sodut #1: Elemental Rage. It's a simple elemental killing.

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=7732

Then you head back to Lceanium.

You have to have the task from Lceanium started before Scribe Oastalides will give you the recommendation. I didn't realize this and it caused me some headache and moronically asking general if the quest was bugged.

I've recently started doing this and i completed 1 mercenary quest so i can be recommended.

after 1 quest, my feedback was
Scribe Oastalides says:"I Guess you have been helpful here"

will update after doing another quest

EDIT: after doing another quest (total 2 now), still the same response.

Oh dear. I'm working off memory hear, but my beastlord did several quests in Katta Castrum Deluge and had done none in Lceanium except forewoman freleta's kill quests. He got it on the first try. I don't know if it was his work in Katta or the mercenary tasks in Lceanium that got him the recommendation. Might recommend doing her kill quests because they're needed for Mercenary anyhow.

I don't know if they put Scribe Oastalides on New Combine faction but if so, killing Sarnaks in Chardok(RoS) should raise that faction.

If you are doing this in a group. Do not have all the group run to the location otherwise you will spawn 2 guards for everyone on the quest. The guards spawn to the south of the location, so go to the northern side, and then send one person in at a time spawn 2 guards and kill them. The only effective way to control one guard is to root him before he gets to you or use the ranger blusterbolt spell. The latter works really well, because if you push him back 3 times, he will sort of lose KOS until the other one is killed.

Also, if you have a caster character, you will need to get aggro away from him as quick as possible.

I boxed this, and only had my druid die, but when I used another character, the druid got credit for the kills. So you don't have to kill the ones you spawn, just 2 of this type.

They do accumulate, so you need to check if anyone has left some there. SO you may have to go back to the page and say meeting, they will despawn eventually.

Scribe Faction?
# Nov 20 2016 at 11:18 AM Rating: Decent
Anyone know what faction the scribe is on?
A wizard character with savior done for the whole Darkened Sea expansion still cons dubious to the scribe and does not receive the commendation.
Tried redoing the mercenary task in the Katta zone and still no change.
Wondering if there is some faction the scribe is on that gets dinged by certain other mob kills.
Anyone else run into this problem?

It's quite possible he is on New Combine faction, however that faction was created for EoK so that might not be accurate. You can raise New Combine faction by killing in the new Chardok.

Any confirmation on this yet?
I'm having a faction issue with my 96 druid and I thought it might just be his level.
I'lll see about making it over to the new Chardok and see if I can get him to at least apprehensive.

Killing sarnaks will raise your faction. Not exactly sure which faction it is but I'm assuming it's the New Combine faction.

If you are attacking the guards and someone else comes and does the task at the same time it does spawn more guards.

In this situation if you were not fortunate enough to live....

Return to the Harried Page and say: [Meeting] this will reset the task so you can re-spawn the guards without deleting the quest and starting over again.
