Necromancer 5th Rank  

When you hand in the four items to the skeletal worker, you get the message about what he wants x3 and then

a skeleton worker takes your hand and guides it into his ribcage. You feel something odd. It is a metal key!!

Then when you turn in the key to the banker assistant, you get

Tin Banker Assistant shudders and begins to clang. You hear the sound of an ocean of coins. A small door pops open and a book pops out. A few coins also manage to escape.

When you hand in the journal and the darkbinder skullcap the folowing conversation comes:

Master Kyvix says: I did not expect you to return. You made me loose a bet with one of the other scholars. Seeing as you have deivered the tome, I shall not harm you, but rather welcome you into the rank of the dark circles. Listen well to the scholars within this tower and seek the [Keepers Grotto] for knowldge of our spells. This drape shall be the sign to all iksar that you walk with the Brood. Now go speak with Xydoz.



nice to know he was cheering for us =)

I just completed this quest 10/13/04 and I used the snare, pull, FD combo. For some reason everytime I used lev, I pulled a guard. Even with gather shadows. I was also able to turn my key into the banker with Gather Shadows on. I know this cuz the only time it dropped was when I started to cast gate to get my azz outta there, hehe

Also, I got my Dark Binder helm back...weird...

Iksars Necs are KoS to The Overthere.. so how you suppose to do this part of the quest?

Ok, has this one been fixed with the 6/11 patch? I recast identify on the key and still got TIN 1. Not sure how to go about figuring out who the new person is to give the key to.

Isn't Iksar KOS to VS faction or the tin bankers?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but would it be easier if you tried to find the skeleton at night since the Dragoons leave the outpost to patrol?

I just completed this quest. You must drop invisibility spells before you can give the skeleton worker, or the banker their respective items

i cast Identify on this helm just to see what the lore was about and it came back with something to the effect of necromancer helm of the 16th circle

Where do I find the Green Death Rum, what does it drop from?

I completed this quest last night with my Level 21 Iksar necro. Getting the 4 items to give to the skeleton npc at The Overthere was not difficult. Here are some suggestions for the part of the quest that starts with travel from Cabilis to The Overthere.

Step 1 -- Bind at the necro guild in West Cabilis so that you can gate back later. Exit West Cabilis into Warsilks Woods.

Step 2 -- Go NW from Cabilis through Warsilks Woods to The Overthere. I suggest using Gather Shadows as your invisible spell and keeping your best direct damage vs. undead spell memmed. Also, I suggest travelling without a pet. You can make the trip without Spirit of the Wolf, though, of course, SOW will help make the trip quicker and safer. The zone to The Overthere is on the far west border of Warsilks Woods, at about the N/S loc of 0.

Step 3 -- Once in The Overthere, go west a short distance until you can see the large statue. Continuing to use Gather Shadows and without a pet, go north till you come to the water. Follow the water west until your path is blocked by a wall. Cast invis vs. undead on yourself.

Step 4 -- Swim North in the water, and then swim West. Swim until you are about at the loc pos 4000, pos 4000. Then swim south, heading for the west side of the westernmost boat. Though there is no obvious passage, you can climb into the boat from underneath. On the deck of the boat you'll find the skeleton npc to give the items to. From here, you can complete the quest as described.

Of the first five Necromancer rank quests, this is the one I think to be the most interesting. Good luck to all on completing it.

with the help of all you fine people this quest is truly quite easy. The quest items are easy to get, in WW there are probibally more masks and ringbands destroyed in a day than every Iksar necromancer in the game just hang by the FG fort for a little bit and give a shout, and by the ruins west of the fort you can surely find Parih Masks, which by the way are awsome for necromancers and you should have one on your face anyways. infiltrating the dry docks is fairly simple, but one fact remains YOU MUST RE-INVIS YOURSELF after getting the key i found this out the hard way and lost all the exp i just got and then some. so have fun with this, its simple.

I really liked this quest. Compared to the two previous ones, it was less frustrating, yet more challenging and rewarding. The physical reward of the Occultist Skullcap is pretty good, but that isn't what made it rewarding for me. It was the excitement of being in unfriendly territory and having to move around in stealth mode. The actual items are relatively easy to come by. Every Pariah I killed had the mask. The first Evergreen giant had the ringband. And the green death rum can be bought in the pub upstairs right above where the froglok slaves and Toilmaster stand. When I went into the outpost I swam in, starting outside of it. Then swam up to the boats in the drydock. When swimming up to the beach, the skeleton you need to deal with is on the boat on your right. I went in with Invis vs. Undead on. Got on the beach and ran into the ship from the beach side. At first I didn't succeed getting in. I had to do it a couple of times. Once I gave all of the items to the skeleton, I got the key and reinvised vs. undead, then jumped off of the boat and swam towards the dock. I ran up the hill and got into a corner. Identified the key, then cast Gather shadows. Ran to Tin Banker I and got my book and then gated the hell out of there. It was RPG meets Super Mario Bros., kind of. One key thing to do is to enter the outpost after 11 PM. That is when the General and all of his guards march out of the city. After they are gone the only thing in the outpost that isn't undead and will kill you is the guardians. Good luck all.
