Veeshan's Peak is now open to all players who've reached 55th level. The actual key quest (no longer required) can be found here.

It is within Veeshan's Peak that the Lords of Scale hold their court. The oldest living creatures within Norrath, the Lords of Scale were deposited by the Wurm goddess Veeshan at the birth of the world.

It is from within Veeshan's Peak that Trakanon, at the time a mighty blue dragon, led his forces to meet the Iksar armies above the field of bone. Trakanon's victory was complete, decimating the upstart Iksar armies and razing many of their cities. Trakanon himself retired to the Ruins of Sebilis to keep watch and revel in his victory.

Today, the level cap is lv90 (It will become lv95 soon after expansion release in late 2011).
Every time I get into this zone I am the only one in whole zone.
But I have never seen any named dragons alive on my server, there are ppl keep camping them for fun or certain loots.
Some of quest rewards here are worth a while for 60's, if you don't mind to grind in mistmore for raising RoS faction.
But again, I wonder if you can find those named dragons to get quests since any lv80+ classes can kill them.

I just killed Druushk, Nexona, and Xygoz (the only three up) tonight so they are still there but people like us likely get bored, visit, and clean up the place. I always ask in general if anyone wants the loot so it doesn't go to waste but that is a lot easier on FV.

This zone was a raid zone back when Kunark launched and the max level was 60.

Today it has but a few uses:

1) If you're really bored and over 55, you can spank the unnamed mobs for so-so xp and generally unimpressive (today) loot.
Everything in this zone is extremely social.
Everything in this zone also has "Kunark hitpoints" (at least the non-raid mobs).

This will fry your Claws of Veeshan faction, and I think also Ring of Scale. You may repair the former by killing giants in Kael, and the latter by killing everything that moves in Mistmoore. As far as I know, there are no ways to repair the "minions of Scale" faction for the stuff in Skyfire but I've never seriously researched it.

2) If you park your 55+ toons in the zone and then splatter the (not really any longer) raid mobs with a higher level toon (a decked out 70 and a merc can probably duo half the raid mobs in there depending on how badly being dispelled screws up your class), chances are decent you will get an item or two that is still worth having at the levels for which they were intended.

3) You may want to give the quests in there a quick look for your 55ish toons, as some few of them result in items that might be worth having for a little while...but only if you plan to stay in that level range for a bit. If you're hauling tail to level 85, this zone is largely worthless to you unless Sony gets the wild idea to make it the 55+ hotzone.

Zoned in for the first time ever with my 69 Monk just to look around and try out my new OT hammer, and everything was light blue/dark blue con to me. I was apprehensive so I ran around for a bit. Checked the nearest named but it wasn't up, so the rest were probably down as well. I didn't see any "enraged" mobs or whatever that are level 78+ at all, so not sure what that post was talking about. Yes, everything says it takes a raid army to defeat but they are just regular mobs. Used my OT hammer on one to port myself out and it was hitting in the low hundreds before I got ported out, nothing special, and certainly not a "raid mob." Zone still sorta has that old school EQ zone feel to it, though :]

I loved this zone upgrade except for the fact sony screwed the true players of the game by removing IMO the coolest thing about VP. The zone outs to plane of sky, sonh, fv , and skyfire now you can only port out to skyfire baaaa
When is sony going to learn that people love knowing things about the game very few other do. They love having keys to everywhere and factions so you can be the only wood elf on your server who can sit in the warriors guild in cabilis. Or have a free port of sky for you and a few of your friends who spent hours factioning RoS faction only to find out they removed that port ... Lame sony lame

Time and time again I see people get bent out of shape bitching about quests. THEN WHY DO YOU PLAY A GAME CALLED:
E-V-E-R-Q-U-E-S-T.

Sure I must admit that it's a pain in the ass but some of the quests are really fun and actually gear you up for bigger and better things. Not everyone is level 70 nor does everyone belong to an uber guild. Veeshan's Peak was meant to be difficult to enter but the rewards for the quests inside are still UBER after 4 yrs.

You are exactly right. since a large portion of the game populace are not in an Ubar guild this zone could be considered for the rest of use. So if your in an UBAR or L33t Guild then STFU and keep this zone untained for the rest of us.

Chat with Enrid Ebonclaw

I tagged along last night watching a raiding guild work on converting their keys. They cleared the 5 guard-wyverns around Enrid and all had a chat with him. After they moved on, I had a the chat for myself:

Quote:

You say, 'Hail, Enrid Ebonclaw'

Enrid Ebonclaw says 'Thank you for coming to my aid, though I'm sure I could have made it alive. I'm smarter than most would admit. I even committed a crime against my master by questioning one of his motives and the punishment for that is death. Yet, here I stand! Those wyverns have kept me asleep and were trying to turn me to ash. Since you are here, I will finish what I started. I have a secret so magnificent and so powerful that the Ring of Scale will be extremely angry with me. I will exact my revenge! Now, would you [like to know] how to overcome the wards on the passage to Veeshan's Peak? '

You say, 'like to know'

Enrid Ebonclaw says 'You adventurers are all alike. The dragons erected a new ward on the door to only allow the Ring of Scale and its followers entry. They changed it because of greedy adventurers like you! As a servant to the Ring of Scale, I learned how to create a cipher to enter the peak -- one that overcomes the new ward that was erected. This cipher requires the original key or the essence of the original key. The original key was very magical and powerful, for it encompassed the strength of this continent. If you have the original key, you will need to modify it by combining it with this powerless cipher and the blood of a brood dragon. If you do not have the original key, however, you will need to capture the strength of this continent, the essence of the original key. [continue]'

You say, 'continue'

Enrid Ebonclaw says 'Combine the three major essences with that same dragon blood inside the powerless cipher to create the Cipher of Veeshan, your means of entering the peak. Also, you may have the original key's essence bound to your soul, so let me know if you would like me to [recreate the key].'

(at this point, I think, I was given the container)

You say, 'recreate the key'
Enrid Ebonclaw searches deeply into your soul and says, 'I am sorry mortal, I cannot recreate the key at this time.'

(I don't have the original key. no surprise that he wouldn't give me one)


The raiders proceeded to visit Dry Sapara, the new dragon in the entry to VP, and did something to trigger the spawn of Suled Dar`s Shade. He spawned on the north side of the huge lava pit in the middle of the zone. They dispatched him and spawned a row of chest/corpses, all of which had 8 minute timers. Each chest appeared to have only a certain number of pieces in it, since they despawned once they were emptied. I did not ninja their raid to try to see what was in them.

We managed to spawn Suled Dar's Shade by clicking all the orbs simultaneously.

Melees for around 2.4k and AE ramps.

Suled Dar's Shade says "You have awakened something which you should not have, fool!"
You have been slain by Suled Dar's Shade.

When he spawns, a zonewide shout is seen. Some yellow message about a light on the mountain range you're on. and some guy shouts about the orbs collapsing and he's not sure what's going to happen.

We're not sure yet, but we think you might have to be in melee range to cast spells.

He sees through SoS too =( have fun with the CRs, we are.

Shouted zone-wide when the Shade is triggered:

Dry Sapara shouts, 'The globes are absorbing my energy! I do not know what will happen next, so be prepared!'
As the energy pours into the globes, a flash of light occurs. There is now a beam of light pointing to the center of this mountain range. You should investigate.


Shouted zone-wide when the Shade is killed:

As the shade's corpse dissipates, treasure chests that were once hidden are now unveiled.

The new key quest
# Jul 14 2004 at 3:31 PM Rating: Good
Enrid Ebonclaw located at 2365, 3718 in skyfire mountains, is surrounded by several KOS mobs who hit for 600 each. There were 5 or 6 mobs, named something like agent of the peak. If you hail him he gives you the new key quest.

You need either the old key, or the essence of the key, and blood of a brood dragon, combined in a Drained Cipher of Veeshan (4 slot container he gives you). He will give you the old key if you are /keyed with it.

Old VP key essentialy worthless
# Jul 14 2004 at 3:15 PM Rating: Default
The old key to VP no longer works. There is now a large red dragons spawned outside VP, indifferent to all, it appears, named Dry Sapara. He doesn't respond to hails, in either common, dragon, or elder dragon. There are some KOS mobs that hit for around 600 now west of VP, which surround a black drake. The drake is indifferent.
It upsets me that SoE has elected to change the key for the zone. It took me a long time to get the VP key and now it is essentialy worthless, unless it turns out that the old VP key allows you to skip the vast majority of the new key quest. SoE now has the technology to insert pocket dungeons; they could easily have created an entirly new zone and put it inside VP, leaving the old zone alone and allowing those people who enjoyed the old zone to continue to enjoy it. Essentilay, I'm not upset that I didn't get a nice upgrade for free, I'm upset that I have to do more work to get back what I already had. I have /petitioned in game expressing as much, and encourage others who share this view to do the same. /feedback does get your coments to the developers, but /petition makes SoE use manpower to answer the petition and thus costs them something. They will be more willing to look into something that's costing them.

Rindle is right in getting upset about the change and your exemple about the Mossnakes sticks better on the Folks who are now happy with the new Key Quest.The old Key Quest was way harder than the new one,now you get 3 Mobs in Mid Level Dungeons and than get your Guild to kill a Dragon(and the kill is even usefull to a Lot of People getting his Key so its easier to get them together).Before you had to spend Lots more Time but since verant is catering to Big Guilds....The Folks with the old Key already completed are now upset cuz everyone now can get the Key in 1/4 of the Time,and what they get to recompense them??? a few !!!! more HP and Mana !!! LOL That stinks !

Um...

If you would have spent the time you wasted posting your sob story on looking for quest information you would've learned that your old VP key allows you to skip over the new key quest up to killing the dragon outside.

Everyone I know is loving the hell out of the new VP. Ones who never had any desire to go there before are now pestering me to help them with the key quest.

Why did they change the key?

Because it is now an EP level raiding zone, except for the XP area at the front. The quest was changed to reflect the new degree of difficulty. Old VP key quest is a cakewalk that anyone over level 50 can do and just buy a Trak tooth MQ.

Am sorry...

But there are days when I get fed up with the laziness and whineyness of some EQ players. They biatch because things are "too hard" or "take too long". They all want Time keys to drop off Moss Snakes cuz they are too damn lazy to put the work in to get there, and they whinge to SoE about how "uber" people get "everything".

Unless they have characters who are over level 50 or friends that are over level 50 to give them gear, I don't see a level 50 character soloing the pained soul, primiarly due to the large number of wanderers that would be fairly high level to a level 50. I would say anyone over 60 can solo most of the quest, although clerics, warriors, and enchanters may need help with the KC basement even at 60. I didn't complain about the lenght of the original VP key quest, which did take me days, quite literaly, of sitting in one place killing the pained soul's PH over and over. It was for an end zone key. But, I did go to that trouble, when it was for an end zone key, and now I have a green rock that does nothing. I will need the help of a very powerful guild to get the one component I now need to go back into a zone I had acess to, and I am not in a very powerful guild. VP use to be a zone that those of us who prefered to help others instead of spend all night, every night, raiding the same things over and over could get to. Now we can't.

My (at that time) level 52 Druid camped the Pained Soul, the skelly in DL and the Gobby in LoIO. I brought my Wizard (who the key was for) there first and camped him there, then ran my Druid over there. If you are careful and are paying attention you can do it. Harmony works, and root/snare works quite well in a pinch. Was it "easy"? No. But it was great XP for her.

Did the skelly in FV with my 44 necro.

The mob in KC I already had from a PBAE group I was in a couple months before I started quest. Trak tooth I got in a raid shortly thereafter.

Got the new key today in a pickup raid/zerg fest. I would imagine that you will find some of these pick up raids going on for a week or two. There were plenty of quest items for all.

Also, the first part of the zone is designed for XP groups with some nice drops. I had a group of friends in there after we got keyed and we had a great time. These friends are unguilded non raiders in mostly LDoN, quested Velious, tier 1 PoP and some lower level groupable mob dropped GoD gear. They could fight in there quite successfully. Of course they know how to play the game, their class and know how other classes work, too.

I think you are being too negative and "pouty" Rindle. You would much rather sit and say "WAAAAAAAH! It's too HARD!" instead of even TRYINGto find out if it actually is.

Druids are fairly proficient soloers outdoors, and necros are very good soloers, especialy when undead are involved. A warrior, cleric, or enchanter would not be able to solo those mobs untill they were very high level, and a 65 warrior would have to be very carefull in KC basement to not bring the entire basement down on himself or he would be out of luck. Yes, if you are the right class, you can solo the key at a low level. If you're not a good solo class, you can't.
It's nice that you were able to get some unguilded friends keyed, on some servers that happens. On others, the top guilds try to exclude everyone else from a zone untill they are done with it.
I don't think I'm being overly negative. There would be outrage if suddenly PoE or PoF became time level zones and another key was required to enter them. People aren't overly upset over VP because people haven't gone there for four years. But for those of us who did go there this key upgrade is annoying. It's bad PR to take something away from someone after you have given it to them. This is why when an item is nerfed, it only affects existing items if the item is horribly out of balance, or the item was bugged in some way that gave unintended results. The nerf only applies to future drops of that item. This is what SoE should have done with VP. If you were keyed already, fine. If you weren't keyed, then you have the new options for the key quest to get in.

Trak dropped 6 teeth for us. These were first pieces for a few of us. When I logged on the next day, 3 characters were one item (FV mob) short of completing the quest. TWO of those characters were being done by the one person.

Have heard stories of failed 8 hour camps in KC. I got that one on 3rd spawn both times I camped it. But I seem somehow charmed with long camps.

Just trying to say that the orininal key quest is not necassarily going to be as bad as many have experienced.

RE: Old VP key essentialy worthless
# Jul 16 2004 at 1:21 AM Rating: Decent
When Kunark came out originaly it was fairly easy to get the BGM, as no one was down there except to get him, and he was easily timed. Now, with Veksar in the background, people wander thru and kill the BGM without knowing what he's for, thus greatly reducing the probability of finding him up. The new key quest is far easeir than the old key quest, the only dificulty being that you need a group for 2 of the key parts (and for the 3rd if you don't have the ability to gate).

The Key??
# Jun 24 2004 at 1:38 AM Rating: Decent
Ok alot of talk about "If its worth it or Not" but I don't see anywhere any info about if the key will work for all of the Group or Raid. Or is it like I fear its for one person only? I don't wan't to zone in to find out I'm all alone and noone to help me get out.. Also is it like the Old Sebilis Key it stays on the /keyring and if I die I can get back in?

it's single person, and iirc it goes on your keyring now.

Of course, it may change soon when the new VP comes out, and the new key quest

Druid and Wizard ports and TL's and personal gate spells now work in this zone. Originally the only ways out where to walk out using a ZO or getting rez'd back out on an old corpse.

Vex Thal is arguably the hardest zone in the game before PoP. Even with PoP, it's still one of the hardest ones.

Veeshan's Peak was the hardest zone in the game when Kunark was the only expansion.

Sleeper's Tomb was the hardest zone in the game when Velious came out.

Vex Thal was the hardest zone in the game when Luclin came out.

The Plane of Time is currently the hardest zone in the game.

Note that all of these zones require long involved quests to get an individual key.

"Hardest zone" is a relative term.

LDON has introduced several post-Time raids, and many a guild who have gone to Time have found the new Bristlebane to be a challenging encounter.

Personally, I've always thought Dalnir was the hardest zone in the game, but that's obviously relative to the levels at which it's appropriate ;-)

Some things that haven't been mentioned here yet.

The trash mobs have a respawn rate of 2 minutes and give no faction hits.

The Named dragons are all on Ring of Scale faction, so if you and your guildmates spent a few nights AEing in Mistmoore Castle and avoided killing Fay and friends, you could theoretically all be non-KOS to the named's the first time you entered here. The trash mobs are KOS to everyone though. Would be good for pics and the initial raid in, but after that, it'd be max-KOS or waste your time in MM once or twice a week :)


I've been to VP before the revamp and it was a complete rush. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Laquisis,

My guild is getting ready to start raiding VP. The quest you speak of is correct. There are a total of 10 pieces needed for it, including a tooth from the poison dragon, Trakanon, who lives in Old Seb.

There is a ton of debate on risk/reward on this zone. Personally, I could care less what phat lewts drop there. It's something new to see and even for the casual player that has made it to this point of the game, seeing new things has its own rewards.

I have yet to see a good walk-through on the zone, or talk to anyone that has done lots of raiding there. To most, it is now just a dead zone that is not worth the time to go. If you were just looking at the loot table vs PoP zone loot tables most would agree that PoP is worth spending your time in instead of VP.

I will be glad to share with anyone our successes of failures in VP. Personally, I can't wait.

Spelling optional in the above text.

On Bristlebane, when people still went to this zone, I seem to recall that if they couldn't clear all the big dragons, or they needed to leave, they all got SoW and ran like hell. Apparently running past a dragon is quite amusing, but I wouldn'tknow I have exactly one piece of VP key.

EDIT: I just checked my guild web-site which has some pictures of our server's 1st ever attempt in VP. This is what I found:

There are several wurms that see invis. Somehow there is a way to differentiate them from the wurms that can't. This raid pulled and killed the see invis wurms. Then 4 mages who could CoH ran to a "cave" (they don't explain where or what this is). 3 of them died en route. The other CoH mage summoned the whole raid to this cave which they refer to as the AFK cave. This was where they pulled for the last few fights of the night. After killing Xygoz(sp?), they decided to leave and when they ran found the exit guarded by three 550 GW. All told on BB's first insert into VP, they did 3 of the big dragons succesfully.

They really do need to either buff up the items dropped here, or make the zone easier to get in adn out of. As it stands, better stuff is available thru much easier to access zones in Velious. The mobs may not be any easier, but not being able to leave a zone until you have gone all the way thru it causes major problems.

I guess they think EVERY person playing EQ at the post 50 levels, has nothing else to do - ever. Your in veeshan's eek and your kid falls and breaks his arm "sorry son, I can't take you to the hospital right now - I'm in veeshans peak. We'll be done in about 12 hours. Just hang tight."

They really need to put some married folks with kids on their development team. There are alot of us gaming out here too.

In any role playing game there are "Ultimate" adventures, VP is this place, remember when you went to BlackBurrow for the 1st time and you were so scared.. the music, the mobs, well at level 60 its nice to have that feeling again instead of countless mind numbing hours in Sebilis... 60th Level Shaman LFG!... Life at 60 is great, but if it werent for the things we started playing for in the 1st place, what would be left.

# Jul 24 2001 at 8:29 AM Rating: Decent
I think they might have changed the rez in/out tactic in last patch... I recently dueled a friend of mine so he could get to his bind point in neriak to bank. When he was done I cast revive on him to bring him back and it said this corpse is too old... it had only been 5 minutes.
Anyone verify this? Or was it just a bug at the time i tried it?

How to get out
# Dec 01 2000 at 6:26 AM Rating: Default
I am not sure, but a really nice wizard from the Lanys server told me his guild would die with one worthless item on them, than go to veeshan's peak. If things got bad than a cleric that was left behind would xp raise them.

Paulin (Emerald Alliance)
Lanys

P.S. The wizard's name is Lannwen, but he proply will not be able to talk to you half the time, he is to busy killing dragons.
RE: How to get out
# Sep 06 2001 at 4:51 AM Rating: Default
Rezzing out is actually a good way out of Veeshan's Peak.

But, if you plan on raiding Veeshan's Peak, this means that you will enter it fully equiped, and , as you know already wipeouts are not uncommon in zones such as ToV,VL,Chardok, when ( and not if) you have a wipeout, the rezzing strategy will leave u without equip
RE: How to get out
# Feb 15 2001 at 6:41 AM Rating: Default
The way to get out is easy. Two ways actually. #1 finding a teleport pad, and #2 Res out. What happens is that you bind on top of VP or in DL wiz spires. After you have had your fill of VP, A> If you are fast enough duel yourself out and get revives, or B> duel out, kill yourself at bind spot. Revive back in, res back out. Not too hard to figure it out eh.

Can't u just gate out? Or do u have to go to a teleport or specific area to get out, i know there is a one-way entrance to get in, but gating out seems simple enough.

Walk onto a pad and it drops in the water at the fp docks hehe. Thats a longways from vp~

On another note, this is by far the coolest looking zone in the game. Have killed these dragons many times and the items suck now days but a few still have nifty affects and make it worth coming here for new members and twinks.~

Sorry if this annoys you, but the enchanter only robe here dropped by a dragon is 12 ac and has a dot that does 400 dmg over two minutes! Considering that you could get a better robe 30 levels before this, it has absolutely no use except for showing off. Abaishi even said that not everyone item could be the best in the game! How is this showing off risk vs reward? In this dungeon no gm help is available even in the case of Link Death or server crashes!

Today Gordon tried backing up his comments from years ago....back then half of the dungeons weren't itemized but he assured the players that if they fought into the depths of the game that they'd be handsomely rewarded.

His new stance is this....Oh, well since so many people have complained about casual gamers not having access to the best loot we decided to put the best items in Karnors and Sebilis. You see you Uber-guilders are not the majority so go suck it!

That's pretty much exactly what he said except that I added a few things that were sort of implied but not written if you know what I mean =)
