Torch of Alna  

 

If you are after Ice, Fire, Hill, and Cyclops toes...Go to Ocean of Tears and kill the named giant Gronit. He drops all of them. Says he is lvl 33-37 but a definite under con (was LB to a lvl 53 druid). I have read that he is camped alot but has a spawn rate of just under a minute. His location is on the same island as the Seafury Cyclops' near the pirate camps. Hope this helps!!

I know this is an old thread, but .... how does this focus item work? I am level 42 now but my fire pet (level 39 pet) seems to be always light blue to me when I summon him, even with the ToA. My air pet (also level 39) is dark blue, with or without the SoU equipped. What gives?

Thanks.

What to do:
Talk to Vira (Gnome p415,p90, per EQATLAS near #7) in Temple of Solusek Ro to get the info on 4 items she needs for each quest you are doing for each of the 4 Mage pet focus items.

Hints:
None of the items are no-drop, so the best thing to do is hit the vendors in the surrounding areas first or auction in the zone. Go to OOT and check vendors for toes, if none there try Everfrost, and then try Nejena (go to the floor where you get the 3rd key and kill those mages) then buy needed gem and go to back to Vira.

The main items broom, torch, stien & shovel drop from mobs called 'An Alligator' the Swamp Alligators do not drop them.

I recently did this quest it rocks to have the torch

Garll
lvl 37 mage

Effect is not level 29 as stated on this page but less than level 9. (verified by myself)


Quoting magecompendium.com on these focus items:

Note: Focus Items only have to be held while summoning an elemental to be effective, there is no minimum player level for these items to be used.

Focus Items will only function on summons from level 4 to 49, Staffs of Elemental Mastery will function on summons from level 49 to 60 (Not including the Decoy summons). The four focus objects available from the Temple of Solusek Ro enhance particular attributes of a pet. Because each pet has inherent natural attributes, each focus object works differently on each pet type.

Earth Elementals : Shovel of Ponz
These pets have the most hit points of any pet. Because of this the focus objects do not add any extra hit points to the pets. Rather the pets get extra strength, agility and other stats to help them dodge a little better and hit for higher damages.

Water Elementals : Stein of Ulissa
A Water Elemental summoned with a focus object obtains the same number of hit points as an earth elemental of the same level summoned with no focus object. They also receive boosted stats.

Air Elemental : Broom of Trilon
An Air Elemental summoned with a focus object gets a hit point bonus making it have approximately the same hit points as a water elemental summoned without a focus object of the same level. They receive less statistical bonus than the water elemental.

Fire Elementals : Torch of Alna
A Fire Elemental summoned with a focus object gets a hit point bonus making it have approximately the same hit points as a air elemental summoned without a focus object of the same level. They receive around the same statistical bonuses as the air elemental.


In summary each elemental becomes more powerful than the one before it when you use the focus objects. Some receive more hit points than others. Some receive more statistics than others. Simply put a pet summoned with the focus object will be better than a pet summoned without one, and it is certainly worth doing the quests to obtain the items. Mage Focus Items must also be held during summoning in order to be effective.
