Paineel is home to Norrath's evil Erudite contingent, the Heretics. The most notable sites here are the Fell Blade (Shadow Knight guild), Abattoir (necromancer guild), Tabernacle of Terror (cleric guild), and the Athenaeum Necromantia (the local library).

Also here are two entrances to the Hole (one through an underwater passage; the other through a leap of faith), found through a network of tunnels extending out from the newbie area. The Warrens, city of kobolds, also connects to this same area.

For a key to Paineel, head to a guard in the Paineel newbie area and say:-

"I needz keyz".

Faction is required, worked on amiable.

Oddly, a lot of these NPCs seem to be mislabled as monsters or quest NPCs rather than guildmasters.

Key into the city of Paineel is called Bone Crafted Key, you can get one from the skeleton guards outside in the newbie yard or inside at the bottom of the elevator with amiable Heretics faction.

how do i get the key to get into the city of paineel not the hole
RE: i need the key to paineel

Kill kobolds in the warrens till your eyes start to bleed. Once you have enough paineel faction for the two skeleton guards in the newbie yard to con better than indif (I think), tell them you lost your key and they'll give you one.

Illusion: Erudite does help, as does faction spells for enchanter or faction song for bards.
New Mobs
# Jul 13 2005 at 12:34 AM Rating: Decent
Whats up with these guys? Inside the library (Athenaeum Necromantia) There is a very tiny mob called Madness Imp. Con's blue to level 70, hits for max 456 with 12% shielding. When i got it to around 80%, spawned a slightly bigger imp named Madness Imp, hits for around the same, cons blu to level 70. When I got the madness imp further down to around 20%, another Madness Imp spawned. They are on same faction as the rest of Paineel but I figured I'd have a go at him just to see what was up. None of them respond to hails (once agro cleared of course) and none of them despawn after FD and clear agro. I do have screenshots of them together but cant separate them for individual shots. i will look to upload it. Any clues?
Getting the key to Paineel and The Hole

I killed about 250-300 Kobolds in the Warrens, then used Mask of Deception and Bard faction song to become Amiable to the newbie area guards. Got Paineel key, went to town and got "Hole Key" which looks like a little bag.

No where near as big a problem for a Bard to get this done.

Actually if you are a rogue it is still very easy to farm the Paineel guards. I do it all the time. That is, as long as you don't care about Paineel faction.

1. You don't need a paineel key, because you can picklock the door open

2. You can sneak/hide past Jerith, so you don't need to worry about aggroing him

3. Even when conned "ready to attack" there are no adds on any of the guards pulls (other then other weak skelly guards) BEFORE the back area where the Capt is. If you hunt the Capt area, you have to be more careful because it can be difficult to single pull the guards, and those guards are much stronger.

4. You can use sneak to sell to merchants and bank, even if kos, so that's not a problem

5. If you die, you can just buy another pick lock to get back to your corpse.

I imagine that this would work well for bards as well. They can use pick lock to get in also, and use invis song to get past Jerith. Hope this helps.

Yenlr Undraie (female erudite) stands near the Stone Hendge place. She's level 65 and when hailed says:

"Ah, I'm pleased to see your interest in helping the Wayfarers Brotherhood, however, I'm not at liberty to discuss the finer details with you. Prove your worth and seek out more knowledge of the path to becoming an adventurer."

My guess, she's the one who starts Paineelian's with their adventure stones.

Inside Paineel City
# Apr 05 2004 at 5:24 PM Rating: Decent
Your Location is 958.51, 616.11, -81.22

Jerith regards you as an ally -- what would you like your tombstone to say?

Jerith glances at you and smiles, revealing slightly pointed teeth. He is an older dark elf, wrinkles creasing his face. "Yes. What can Jerith do for you?"

Anyone know what this guy is for?

People used to farm the undead guards for a quick 13pp each a kill, sometimes they run and if they did they ran almost directly in his path so he'd assist and own any newb trying to farm for money.

Faction Raising w/ Kobolds
# Nov 21 2003 at 6:15 PM Rating: Decent
My bard went from extremely low scowling to apprehensively in an hour or so. Here was my strategy.

Go and grab around 30 or so kobolds, but try not to get any above level 10 or so.

Just DOT them to death.

It's quick and easy.

I used my Mask of Deception then my faction raising song and got the key, ran in. W00t

Uhhhh im screwed, I was on pvp, and some told me a necro or a wizzard is good for a non twink. it makes sense. Anyways, I make a necro Euridite... errr whatever....

And umm... I could not figure out how to get back into the city. Tried clciking the wall, and using the key on it. ok fine. I think this new guy Jerith is some kind of help, ask him to let me in. Offering him my key, he ATE it!!!

So then I think maybe he is here for people who lose their key, "I lost my key" yaddie yaddie. nope. How the HELL do I get another key?!?!

the noob respawn is on that side of the wall. so I need a key to go back in? and if not, I will not be able to hunt the low lvl area..... ohhh I just remembered, that entry way for the hole.... maybe?

Oh and I thought it was something that came back like all other gear under 10, so i jump to my death.... nope... no key. Oh AND i think its all bugged, the only thing popping are skelle. not a single bat rat or snake.

At any rate, can i get another key?

*** O M G *** !!!! no one is going to believe me, so just try this... I get REAL bored waiting on the GM. So I lifetap Jereth, he resists, he runs after me. I take him to the noob area. And he HT me for 401. I die. the MOMENT I spawn. I see a rat. I go out to hunting area, he is super killing EVERYTHING ! lol. And now its not just skelle. I reset the whole zone. The moment he killed the first mob id assume. and its funny as hell, and im sure I cant kill a single thing now before he does. LAUGH !!!

2 factions?
# Jul 16 2003 at 7:01 PM Rating: Decent
I went back to paineel for fun guard killing. Noticed that the first guards are amiable to me but those farther in are indifferent. So which one is on heretics faction? If its the easy ones I guess I can keep killing with no worries about becoming kos. If its the hard ones I can keep killing without worrying about dieing and not being able to get another key.
Jerith also
# May 04 2003 at 6:29 AM Rating: Decent
lalala just a happy Paladin killing evil guards for money(I don't seee anything wrong here). Well I had to ask someone to let me in (because I am obviously Kos and unable to get my own key).
To make a short story shorter my root broke, guard ran to Jerith, Jerith starts beeting on me I run around and Die. and there my body lays.
Moral of the story is kill evil elves.

My Karana following Halfling encountered Jerith after a busy day in Nadox. Fortunately, I was still buffed from battle and was able to elude him with 35% health. I had just zoned from The Warrens when *boom* I took a hit of 401. I didn't bother to look at what hit me, I just ran to Toxx as fast as my hairy feet would go.
Guards Have Faction
# Apr 24 2003 at 2:05 AM Rating: Decent
As of the 4/23/2003 Patch, Killing Paineel guards to farm their platinum gives negative Paineel faction hits...my guildleader Onino is pretty sad to lose his favorite camp...

Just FYI...

Yep, it was a sad sad day...

negative Heretic faction
positive factions to 4 Erudin factions (the caster guilds and one other)

Hubby is ALLY to Heretics, and after killing two guards was still ally, but didn't risk losing faction too badly.

As for Jerith he's NOT KoS solely based on religion (hubby's agnostic like 99.99 percent of enchanters) but rather, as all things, a combination of race (he's a DARK ELF so if you are a halfling or barbarian he's not going to like you as much as a human) religion (he's an SK so worshiping Marr or even being Agnostic isn't going to win you points with him) and reputation (he IS on the Heretic faction, he's ally to hubby now, was amiable when the rest of the town was as well)

The problem with Jerith WAS that with the 4/8 patch the "updated pathing" made guards run toward him, and he assists guards, and certainly isn't worth killing (even if you can) so he got trained to various "safe points" out of the new guard pathing.

But, after the 4/23 patch there's no point. This easter egg (guards which give no faction hit and drop 8 pp each time) has been removed. *sigh* Now have to get 8k pp elsewhere before working on my tradeskill trophy... *groan*

Level 45 Dark elf shadowknight
No pet
Heals guards if your camping them and your high enough
Kills you if your low enough
Wont kill agnostics
Wont kill people with good paineel faction
His text is Jerith curves a wide wrinkly fanged smile "yes what can Jerith do for you"

due to the new spawn of dartain adn some other things i think he will have something to do with the Plane of underfoot key if they ever make the plane playable

yeah, me too! I was happily farming bone chips (DE necro) and i see a fellow DE running around. Figured he was another player (NPCs usually walk unless aggro'd) and took no notice of him.

Suddenly, Jerith whacks you for 401dmg... LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

DE's killing DEs... sad times :(

Was this NPC deliberatly planted in the newbie garden to stop farmers? Is he under some devious GM control to identify them and whack on sight?
RE: Jerith
# Apr 11 2003 at 11:02 AM Rating: Decent
Yup, I'll confirm this. I've been to the Warrens time and again with various alts and never had a problem passing thru the Paineel newbie garden...

Untill last night.

I wasn't expecting it. Some guildies were waiting for me at the pool at the paineel/warrens zoneline. I ran thru the garden and all of a sudden **WHAMMO** Dead.

After me, he proceeded to kill a few other players there BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. One of our numbers (we were all in our teens) conned DUBIOUS to him and he was agnostic so he deduced that Jeriths hate must be religion based.

I must have pulled him from the newbie garden, out-running him with SoW, because everyone who died was sitting peacefully untill I arrived... obviously with Jerith in tow.

We had some high level friends take him down and we didnt stick around for that fight.
Info on the Hole Key
# Mar 16 2003 at 7:48 AM Rating: Excellent
The merchant that sells the Hole Key is Rallia Hapera at loc p939, p762, n79. When you look at her items for sell the key looks like a bag. That got me confused. She conned amiable to me and offered to sell me the key for 117pp 2gold 6slvr 2cpr. This was off a newly made toon. Btw, the key is No Drop. Hope that this information helps others.
