Can any other classes besides bards do these quests? I would love to get some of the items to sell and for my alt.

Other classes should be able to do the quests; you just can't use the items unless you are a bard.

Easy to get the Opalline helm in lake rathe in the cave underwater (forget where, check EQ atlas). Anyways i'd just go get the Skull Shaped Barbute that's what I did with my bard...after I cashed in the Lambent helm =)

#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 22 2001 at 4:03 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Damn when did bards get such an attitude wow. That sure seemed rude the wizard just said you need a group to get it and the bard went ******** Now my 2cents worth on getting it. 49ranger I was killing some of the gobbies for exp Light blue still exp and not to hard to kill when i got the helm. So decided to go find out about it. the lambent stone is easy just kill a SG if u can and if u can't check the merchants in the surrounding area around Oasis and Ro zones should find one there pretty easy for 20-40pp next u need to get the rune from Cazic not easy if u don't have some sort of invis and can get them alone with no healer types near. Found mine in the wrap around passage in the Throne room area. U can buy the 2 star rubies off of vendors or Players. The high lvl mob's in Seb and KC drop that quality of gems. Well off to go turn my stuff in and get a shiny blue helm.

You know, I don't think that Wizard was trying to do the quest. At least he didnt say he was. I really like doing the thquest though, I sell the helms to Hard up bards for about double their value. Great way to make money since the quest takes so little time to complete. Since Im level 54 Paladin, pulling all 4 of the Goblins isnt really an Issue either :-)

Ok I just got my opalline helm for the quest about 15 minutes ago and here's what I did. First of all I am actually a bard, and lvl 40 so to the lvl 40 wizzy who couldn't get it I say, go camp something for your own class buddo. But here's the deal there are 4 corner goblins and some middle ones. Try to pull a corner one and you get two. That's the smallest pull you can get as a bard by yourself. Now heres the problem you have to pull two melee type goblins. In other words noncasters. If you get a caster just zone and try another corner. I REALLY hope you have your tamborine by now because you are going to be using percussion based DOT songs to kill them, not to mention the 23% speed increase helps too.

So you pulled your two goblins, cast an initial chant of flame(lvl 38 song) and curtain(forget lvl but well before 30). I say these two because they stack. And then run as far away from the goblins as you can until they wear off. Because those goblins have bows and arrows, and on top of that the arrows stun you!! Gee verant I wish I could stun mobs with 1dmg arrows fired by a hunting bow. Find some very "hilly" terrain to fight them at. Near the derv camp by the south ro zone works well. I say this because if you are on the other side of a hill then the goblins can't hit you with their arrows, but you can still hit them with your dot songs. If you have done a lot of bard soloing in the past, ya know the good ole charm one...dot the other...repeat and rinse, then this should be cake to you because you are only weaving 3 songs and focussing on one mob.

Anyways you get the general idea. Its very do-able once you have your 38 DOT song. But unless you solo a lot and need the charisma for your charming I suggest save yourself the grief and buy a Skull Shaped Barbute for 200pp which puts this helm to shame.

bards can use their lull song (not as effective as harmony but still works). I've used it to break orc and kobold camps in EC and Stonebrunt and derv camps in NRo/Oasis/SRo. I haven't used it much recently since I've been soloing in larger areas where it's not needed to pull wandering mobs.

How about any Druid with Harmony and EB? They're an easy pull. Jus Harmony the corners and pull the middle. Piece of cake.

I saw 5 opoline helms drop in Lake Rathe in about an hour while helping a guildie cleric with her epic quest. I (druid) grabed one both times we tried to camp the Lord Beguiler (sp). The first time I had a lambent stone in the bank to give my RL bard friend, so with two pieces already, I looked up the quest and finished it for her as a suprise. Not hard, so I plan on doing it again with this one to either make a bard (always wanted one) or just sell it to recoup the cost of the star rubies I bought for my friend. Fun quest overall, much nicer than the coldain shawl quests. lol
