Spell: Ethereal Cleansing  

 

Can also drop off of a boat engineer in Dulak.

The only complaint i have while doing this quest was the female spirit floating over there in her spot for the clerics temp spell quest. That spirit kept sitting there just taunting me, "nanny nanny bo bo" just telling me hey look im up and your male spirit isn`t. But i got her, after i was done killing the 5 mobs in the area i ran over and killed her.

Now for the PH loc of where he spawned for me. I went by the loc numbers from posts in this thread. I placed my back to the boat, had 1 mob to my right against the wall, one mob to my left around a ring sticking out the sand, then 3 mobs infront of me by some rocks. The male spirit spawned as the middle mob of the 3 infront of me.
The sad part i feel about this is the the female spawns more often than the male, she spawned and died by me 8 times while waiting on the male

I got the black medallion after a few trys in the Gulf of Guthank zone. I went to the village area inside the tunnel. As always, I did an OOC asking for the Black Medallion. After maybe a half hour a friendly Necro sent me a tell and showed me where the medallion was. All total, I spent about 3 hours trying to get it.

As far as Sony making things harder for you, did you ever think that they are making game play more even? Granted, Sony is about money, but I dont think the profit margin is huge. Before the nerf on KEI, I was able to take my lvl 12 Wizzy up to lvl 21 by myself with just a KEI in PC. Is that fair game play? If I was doing that, you can bet others were too!

All in all, I am happy to pay for what I get...

[b][/b][Black This is impossible to get. It involves more time than any epic on everyquest. It is obvious that Sony makes it hard so you spend hours, days and even weeks trying to get it so you will keep paying for the service. Just like taking away Kei and Aego from the lesser players. Dont take a Rocket Scientist to figure out that the name of the game is money !!

We had a group of 3 pally (lvl 46, 47, 50)
and a low 50's shammy. We spent all our time
on the docks from Stormwave to Dandolak, plus
the 2 small docks without a named ship.
Got 3 black medallions in one 6 hour session.
We killed everything on docks except rats.

We had bad luck with the Oceancrasher dock.
It has lots of mobs at entrance and 2 party
members passed away.

Some postings have implied that male and female
erudite spawn in same place, they don't. I have
seen both at same time.

When you do the turn in the erudite disappears.

I have seen the erudite there with skelly around
it and they left each other alone. We cleared
the skelly anyway so we had easier turn ins.

I don't know about the need to be far away to get
erudite to spawn, but it fits my experience.
When we camped close, it did not show. I was
a little farther away when he did show up.

Ok i got the medallion off of a pillager but turned it into the guy at the light house and have been at the erudite spirits camp for like 5 hours!!!! Who is his place holder some please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, my 2 cents on this. I got my medallion the other night, thanks to a higher level char that was there killing things. He gave me the loc of the medallion from a mod that he killed. Went back to the beach waiting for the erudite to spawn and withing 15 minutes, he had called out 3 more times that the medallion had dropped. When I was looking...I stayed near the entrance to the troll fort and never saw a one drop...and I spent a good 12 hours of the course of a couple days. The high level was to the left of the entrance, around the wall to the back. So, take that with a grain of salt. Talked to other palis that stayed near the front, and they never saw the medallion either. Also, they werent just dropping of the plunderers, they were dropping off pillagers. One note...watch out for the mystics. I, as a level 42 pali, and my bud, a level 43 ranger got taken to an inch of our lives. Lots of hit points, and can cast everything under the sun it seems.

Well I have about had it with the fort and am ready to try the Dulak scrubbers/engineers.

I have camped the Fort for 2 days now. First, using Calm, went around and killed all the troll marauders/ pillagers / Plunderers. Then I camped near the gates and killed all Pirate races and Broken Skull Trolls. Had friends drop by at various times and my log says I have killed 72 trolls and 114 of other race pirate-types. The Mystics and the SK type Marauders are the hardest and Lt Blue to L52. Died once to one of the Mystics.

So Questions -

Someone said any race of Marauders, Others say any of the Troll Marauders/Pillagers/Plunderers.

Has anyone looted one off a non-troll Pirate near the Gunthak Fort? I can't think of any reason for this to be specific to the Troll Pirates.

Has anyone looted one off the Broken Skull type trolls In/Near the Gunthak Fort?

I'm a lvl 52 Paladin on the Nameless Server that spent 10+ hours camping Trolls at the first fort in Gunthak. I saw the Deepwater Emblem drop several times, but never saw a Black Medallion. A couple of Paladins told me to try Dulaks Harbor and kill the Boat Engineers. (They are on the dock by the boat and conned LB to me.) As soon as I zoned into Dulaks there was a /OOC saying there was a Black Medallion rotting on a corpse. I drank Cloudy Potion to invis, took a swig from a sow potion and hauled butt. (All of the MOBS I passed were DB) Unfortunately I was to late, another Pal beat me to it. I sat on the steps and 10 minutes later another Engineer spawned - I quickly dispatched her and couldn't believe my eyes. There was the Black Medallion. (It looks like a junky little necklace.) I looted it and took a seat. I joined up with a group of low 50's and we chain pulled DB's for two hours - Great XP and Great Loot. During that time 2 more Black Medallion's dropped off the Boat Engineers. There are only 2 Engineers that spwan on the dock at 10 minute intervals, so I'd say the drop rate is alot better there then the Trolls at Fort 1. Plus you get great XP and Sweet loot. I got 16% xp in the 2 hrs and made around 800pp with vendor gems and weapons - plus won a couple of rolls on nice earrings, capes, and mantles. (Saw the earrings posted for 2k in the bazaar but doubt either will sell for half that.) I drank another Cloudy potion, zoned and headed back to Darrius near the Lighthouse. Gave him the medallion, he returned it (it had changed to a skull necklace) and I headed off for the second part of the quest. I finally got a break, the Euridite Spirit was up on the beach at loc n1100, n1000 with 4 undead mobs around him. (All green) I got the undead spells memmed and Instrument of Nife cast and used Holy Might to pull them. They came to the slaughter one by one and in total did maybe 40% damage to me. I never healed myself and had one or two Nife procs per round. I hailed the spirit and got no response - so I just gave him the skull necklace. He said thanks and all that and returned the necklce (Now glowing) and the spell Ethereal Cleansing. I promptly sat down, memmed it and cast it on myself. Awesome graphics and a 400 hp heal! I swam back to the Lighthouse and logged so I could do a quick post to hopefully save you guys alot of time camping the Trolls. I'll follow-up after I do the second part of the quest. (tonight if all goes well) I like the spell, but am not going to say 10hrs of camping greens was worth it. Maybe if the Light of Life portion is easier I might change my mind. Definately a nice spell though.

HOPE THIS HELPS ¥Ö¥

Finally got my medallion today after two days in Gunthak.

I hate the aggro greens here. I never want to see another damned marauder, even if they do drop seafury-class loot at times. I hate feeling like a damned noob having to zone a train of twenty greens... because it's ALWAYS fully respawned on the way out...

But it was worth it. I love this spell. :) Now, I need to grind out some EXP before I go after the next stage...

I camped the fort for 5 hours killing any marauders and plunderers i saw. Not one medallion dropped. Someone shouted one but one of the three other paladins around the corpse got it before me. Another paladin friend of mine was also there and got one after 8 hours of camping the fort. This seems like it is an extremly rare drop, more so then any other spell pieces. Either that or i was just extremly unlucky. Verant needs to increase the drop rate on this i think by at least three times. That seems fair in my opinion considering how hard it is to get compared to the other spells which you can buy from an npc or pc. It also seems like it is one of the harder parts to get compared to all the other spells. Anyways, thats just my experience, not sure if I was jsut EXTREMLY unlucky or what, but at any rate be prepared to camp this at least a few hours.
