Qeynos Catacombs  

I was messing around in qeynos and my paladin, seems there is an entrance behind a turret, disguised as part of the town, with a low swim skill, you might drown though.

lvl 10 druid....thinkin bout tryin out the 20% bonus. is there a specific place that i can camp? should i not kill the guards? what do ya think?

I had a problem zoning into the Aquaducts from the entrance under the docks. I swam down and opened the grill, entering the zone line. I was shocked...and horrified to find that somehow I had zone into Akanon the Gnome city! I was freaked! I mean, Akanon isn't even in the same continent! Luckily I was only lvl 5, so I just attacked a near by npc to get back. Needless to say though....I have not used that entry since!

That map is actually incorrect for cuber, unless he has 2 spawns. Qubert actually spawns very very close to number 5 on that map... near the frogocks... there is a bloody square spot on the ground...place holder is like a deseased rat, a spider guy, a gel cube and a regular looking rat.

so anyways... I think it might be important to know since thats a great quest. so kill whatever pops at that bloody cube floor spot.

also... cubert and placeholders are about lvl 7 ish. I used the entrance by bank bridge. and the cubert is right there and the guy that takes the dress is top side :) very easy.

I decided I would try soloing the spectres here. So I found the entrance in the warrior guild and forged afeah. I ran into some guard type guy (light blue to me) that dropped some vendor trash (I never saw the guy until he hit me). Then I turn the corner and I start getting hit with DD spells and I can't see any mobs (it was Chan and Chou Whinstone and they may have invis). So I make a beeline for the zone and I get hit by at least 4 nukes and I drop. My point is that if you think you will be able to zone in and pull spectres here do not go through the warrior guild entrance even thogh it looks like the closest and easiest on the maps.

Really mixed messages on this board.

I too entered the aquaducts in front of the bank and followed the "this way" signs looking for the little girl. I'm a level 40 druid with a fishscale earring... or I was until two spectres took me out before I even knew what was happening. Cross your fingers I don't lose my corpse, I just started upgrading my equipment!

Maybe they leave low levels alone?

Please help me, I drowned as I was entering the aqueducts. I had entered through the well by the Crow's Nest, and was in the Aqueducts zone. I don't know how to recover the corpse. I tried to enter the same way, but my air was going down fast. Since she is a level 10 with some decent armor, I really want to recover the corpse. How do you loot the corpse under water without drowning again? Can I drag it somehow? I know that there is supposed to be an entrance outside the gate, but I can't find it. I would try to summon it, if I could get close enough. Please let me know what I can do, as I won't play either of my characters until I recover it. Is there a forum for those going through Everquest withdrawal?

I have never had a problem anywhere in the ducts except with the thugs.

So i don't know what all are really saying. i am just a lvl7 warrior with no equipment.

i think i don't have any trouble downthere because my deity is Bertoxxulous

I too have found a human head and which is a no drop item and was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is for.

Thanx

hey everybosy when should i come to the catacombs? i have been playing in bb and wonder if its better here?
thanx in advance
Bulases the confused rogue

I have been wondering this SO much. at the sentinels place there is a firepot. clicking on it says "this is locked and you are not holding the key". i want this key anyone know what to do?

i found a human head lore item in the sewers. i have no idea what quest it is for and no one else seems to know??

I play a human necro. On the test and other servers I have no trouble giving the Dress to zamel.

However, on the alignment server, I gave the dress to Zamel and he said "I will not aid the likes of you" or some such.

This could be a problem.

Anyone else have trouble with necro quest?

How about the rabid pelts? the dress and the pelts are my favorites.

I can ususally get to amiable with the Priest of Light with the rabid pelt quests. As a necro!!

Been trying to take a character to the cubert area lately and every time I go to the pool between the bank and the arena, swim down and try to zone, the zone is not there, I end up at the bottom of a dead end pit, and usually take damage while swimming back to the surface. Is anyone else having this problem?

I've been here once, with Tat. I wandered around from the newbie area, tried to kill the cubes and couldn't. I was maybe lvl 6 or 7 at the time. I had just gotten some really neat things from another character because I had figured out my way around Qeynos enough to help him out.

So, then on my way to/from the bank, I talk to the man by the bridge and hear about the girl. I think the man conn'd green to me (not sure), so I figured I could handle this. I mean, with some tactic, I should be able to handle the cubes.

So, I go exploring, trying to find the cube with the girl. And I'm my naturally curious self and I keep seeing the writing on the wall saying "This Way", and I'm thinking maybe it is a clue.

So, I keep following the signs, and I step up to this little alcove. There is a "This Way" sign pointing into the wall, so I touch the wall and BAM!!!! out shoots that septic rat or whatever it is diseasing me and biting me for 50,000,000 points. Okay, slight exageration, but I was dead before it completely registered that I had been attacked. I lasted longer when the brownie in Lfay caught me 4 or 5 lvls later!

Needless to say, I could not find my body and lost all the cool stuff. :(

Lesson. Obvious things like "This Way" signs in the sewers and Trails in Lfay are not the clues you are looking for.

If anyone does have any idea where that rat is, I'd like to know. I want to go in about 10 lvls or so and take my vengence.

Thanks

I killed this skeleton, begging me tokill him, and I got a note that is supposed to go to a Merona or something. I can't find her, and I can't find anything on the web about this quest. Can anyone shed any light on this quest????

Geez...my lvl 13 Monk worked in the aqueducts from lvl 7-10 with np...no random aggro attacks from anything..even from Specters. If you are Angostics...you will be fine in there...frogloks are easy kills and very nice exp with silk (and sometimes cured silk) to sell for 4-5gp...1-4pp for Cured. DONT go into the smugglers and thugs camp...unless you are atleast lvl 12 as I took out 2 smugglers but one more snuck up behind me and backstabbed me. The sercet red walls hold only pain for pally's and good religions...Be careful and good hunting!

Lvl 3 Monk - Silentsoul
Lvl 13 Monk - Rareman
Lvl 6 Wizard - Izze
Lvl 5 Warrior - BOBBY

Which entrance do ye recommend for a good (as opposed to evil) player of about level 8?

First enter through the newbie zone entrance. then walk around and stay away from the water and kill gelatinous cubes(con first) and smugglers if youre 10-12 and avoid the are near the temple and you should be alright

Every time I enter the sewers by the mage area (water under bridge near bank) I end up at the spot on the map marked as the entrance to the pier in the ocean. The map says I should be right next Cubert, but I am not. I have checked the maps at eqatlas and eqmaps and they both agree.

Any help?

Thanks,
David

Ok starting off there are 4 major areas of the catacombs. First you have the north area entrances are either the hidden vine area of the north qeynos wall, or by entering the lake in front of crows tavern. Low level area mostly popular npcs here are bait masterson and vin moltar for paw of opollo quest. Once you get to the small aligators this is about as far south i would recommend for good aligned characters. South area entrances are in water just off front of docks, or entrances in the pond near the bank. Popular npcs in this area are cubert for earring and drosco the zombie. Stay south of drosco, and cubert area is safe if you just stay in that area. Next area is smuggler area which can be reached by falling through floors in rogue guild or through a hidden wall in northern area. Fairly safe area for most several notable npcs rare in this area. Malka rale rogue epic, begger wylin finally the rat king fixed, and a couple of people that are under circle of unseen hand faction. Only way out is through the hidden wall. The last area is the Bertox temple and its surroundings. To get here closest way is entrance in slave jails under the arena, bewarned argyn shieldstan of the bloodsabers is posted as soon as you enter via this entrance, if he doesn't like you, you will die as soon as you zone, don't I repeat don't zone here unless you are evil, or by going through one of 3 secret hidden wall entrances. when you enter you will notice the walls have a red area through the center of them. This is the very dangerous area for those that do not have good bloodsaber faction, this includes the specters, rotting sentrys, sepsis rats, and a necromancer that do go just beyond the entrances to the temple mainly the corridor that is near the shady individuals. If you get your faction up with bloodsabers you can just walk by all these with no problem at all but if not they can be deadly unless your in a strong group that can take out 30 to 35 range mobs, and of course the temple farther in which most won't reach that are not alligned with bloodsabers has the guildmasters and the like. If you see red on the walls and you are not sure if your liked or not turn around immediately. I hope this helps those that wish to seek there fortunes in the sewers under qeynos.

I play a level 6 Necro and can wonder safely, of course, throughout the Bet. Temple area and conduits. Do any neutral MOB's venture past the spectre sentries or do I need to push further into the aquaduct?

can someone tell me what actually drops this please? name/lvl etc 8) thanks.
