This is the 7th Crusader test.

You say, 'Hail, Arch Duke Xog'

Arch Duke Xog says, 'These are the sacred unholy grounds of the Crusaders of Greenmist and the Scaled Mystics. If you do not belong to us, you must leave this temple at once or learn great suffering in the name of Cazic-Thule.'

You say, 'What about the Crusaders of Greenmist?'

Arch Duke Xog appears surprised at your words. 'You know of Greenmist? The Unholy Khukri of Rile? We once had knowledge of this weapon, but when our great cities were destroyed in 1056 A.G., so, too, were all the great libraries. We lost all records. An explorer named [Argest] claimed to have found one library still intact. Pure babble.'

You say, 'Who is Argest?'

Arch Duke Xog says 'Once a Lord of Pain, Argest is now a great explorer. No lizard has seen more of Kunark than he. He returned one season ago to tell tales of an [ancient library]. He said that he believed that there he would find a tome which would reveal the location of the ancient crusader weapon, Greenmist.'

You say, 'What about the ancient libraries?'

Arch Duke Xog says 'There are many ancient libraries yet to be discovered. Our once great cities have been decimated, if not by our foes, then by nature itself. Within the outlands are many ruins which have yet to reveal themselves. We look forward to the discovery of these ruins by such explorers as Lord [Argest] the Great.'

You say, 'Where is argest?'

Arch Duke Xog becomes despondent at your question. 'Alas, our chance of locating Greenmist is lost as long as Argest remains missing. Reports have come in from the Legion's deep range patrols that he may be in the Frontier Mountain range. At least, that is where the patrol captain found Argest's walking staff. He might have been captured, killed or even digested!!'



PART I

First you must collect six scrolls. The scrolls are located in the following places:

I is dropped by the "failed crypt raider" in Kaesora.

He also drops a note that reads:

I have found one more of the scrolls and have learned the final three were en route to be rescribed in some ancient city called Torsis. When I find them I shall see that the final four are rejoined in my masters realm.

The reference to Torsis leads you to the City of Mist.

II, III, and IV are dropped by the Spectral Courier.

V is dropped by the dark librarian in Castle Mistmoore.

VI is dropped by the dark librarian assistant in Castle Mistmoore.



PART II

After collecting the scrolls, you must see and free the imprisoned Argest.

In the Frontier Mountains goblin caves at approximately -2110, +1720, -435, kill "a goblin penkeeper" and "a goblin penmaster" (and place holders) until you loot:

A Bone Key
A Bone Necklace
A Stone Key

An enslaved iksar (wearing chain armor) is found in the goblin caves at approximately -2165, +1635, -435 (left side spawn, the placeholder is "an iksar slave" on Legion of Cabilis faction).

You say, 'Hail, an enslaved iksar'

an enslaved iksar looks up at you. You can tell his spirit is broken. His scars speak of a severe beating.

You say, 'Where are the scrolls of Vok Na Zov?'

an enslaved iksar says, 'Forget them. I believe all six scrolls lie in the [Kaesora Library] and that is no safe place for any explorer. The scrolls are not readable by any living person, but I came here in search of a machine which may be able to decipher them, the [Stupendous Contraption]. Should you return to Cabilis, see that the Arch Duke hears of the scrolls.'

You say, 'What is this Stupendous Contraption?'

an enslaved iksar says, 'I have learned it was a machine tinkered by a legendary gnome. It has many uses. It lies in the slave pens of Droga. Perhaps it may be used to decipher the [Scrolls of Vok Na Zov]. I have leearned that it will not work without a [contraption needle]. Luckily I have found one in my journeys.'

You say, 'I need the contraption needle.'

an enslaved iksar says, 'The contraption needle is a piece of the machine, the [Stupendous Contraption]. It won't operate without it and if you want it, you're going to have to bring me the [pen keys].'

You say, 'Which pen keys?'

an enslaved iksar says, 'Pen keys!! I need the pen keys to get out of here! Find the ones who hold these keys. Bring me the key to pen number 1 and both keys to the pen gates. Do so and I shall give you the [contraption needle].'

Hand him the three keys.

an enslaved iksar says, 'Oh no!! The bargain was, you bring me the keys to the main gates and the pen key to cell one.'
an enslaved iksar says, 'Oh no!! The bargain was, you bring me the keys to the main gates and the pen key to cell one.'
an enslaved iksar escapes with a flash, but before he goes, he speaks, 'At last!! The keys which shall bring me freedom! I thank you and here is the contraption needle. Good luck.'

You receive a Coarse Iron Needle.

In the Temple of Droga jail area, find "a goblin prison warden" at -52, +1078, -251. It drops Droga Jail Key (Temporary, used for opening jail doors). This is for the post revamp version of the zone. For the TLP version of this zone, you'll need someone to pick the locks.

In the pottery wheel (called Tinmizer's Stupendous Contraption) at -197, +1114, -249, combine:

Coarse Iron Needle
Illegible Scroll
Illegible Scroll
Illegible Scroll
Illegible Scroll
Illegible Scroll
Illegible Scroll

This produces a Stupendous Tome. Turn in this item along with your Hero's Khukri to Arch Duke Xog to complete the quest.

Arch Duke Xog says, 'A true crusader would have brought to me what I requested. The Hero Khukri and the Tome of Vok Na Zov.'

Arch Duke Xog says, 'A legible tome of the scrolls of Vok Na Zov! What a find this is!! May the unholy curses of Cazic flow through you. Please accept the weapon of a Lord of Pain. To abandon it is to abandon our ways and earn yourself the hatred of our order.'

Your faction standing with Crusaders Of Greenmist got better.
Your faction standing with Legion Of Cabilis got better.
You gain experience!! (20% of an AA at Level 59)
You receive 7 platinum from Arch Duke Xog.

You receive the Grand Lord Khukri.

Spectral Courier

Spectral Courier spawns in the stables. Hes kinda rare, so you'll probably spend a few days there. Kinda like those damn frog raiders from the earlier quest, but oh well

i personnaly do not think this is a great quest all myself.yes,it had nice damage and delay,and i am with the people who say its really nice and everything,but it takes so darn long to get it!i know that people will say that good items always take a long time to get,and i know,being a 53 druid myself)but still,u have to do a lot of work just to get this quest,then its really hard to finish.many people also have to kep in mind that iskars are KOS to all races ,and running into the rangers and scouts won't be to healthy.many people have a hard time doing the scond quest,which is going to swamp of no hope and finding froggie camps,and some of them are very hard to locate,especially with all of the lovely giant mosqutos<bad spelling sorry> biting on u every stepp of the way.many people also find it very hard to get around the plants in the swamp,as they are a high level and have many hitpoints besides.many people think this is a good weapon,and i agree,but `there are many great weapons out there that aren't just as good,and some that are better.it all depends on your abilities.

i agree with you that, to a certain extent, these weapons aren't worth the trouble. so far, i'm on the Test of the Zealot to get the Zealot's Khukri. I just wanted to let you know that in doing the part of the quest in Swamp of No Hope, the mosquitos and plants don't aggro, only the bandits & big froggies. also, i'm doing these quests, not because i think the Lord of Pain's Khukri is nice, which i do. but i'm doing it so get the legendary (and even more MYSTYERIOUS!) Greenmist! Who's gotten it?! No one. I want to be one of the FIRST! finally, a bad azz weapon that EVERYONE doesn't have! Have fun!

I just got the Lord of Pain's Khukri this Evening. I think it is the First on Xegony.

3 Scrolls drop off Spectral courier in CoM in Stables - but he is a rare spawn. got all 3 in one night.

Droga was a pain - 2 keys are no drop outside of jail drop off Penmaster - 2 keys Bronze and Stone drop off Penkeeper. Stone Key is a very rare drop.

I just hit this quest the other week. Got the other scrolls now and i still need the 3 from CoM. Is this guy a common spawn? I am shuddering looking and having froggie raider flashbacks.

I can't believe I hadn't figured this out earlier... so many clues...
1) The Tier'dal reading glass (hinting at Dark Elves) I looted from one of those froglok raiders called a Lens of sorts
2) The Drachnid Spy and his Charasis Tome (and all those other Drachnids who happen to be on Mistmoore faction)
3) The name itself... Green"MIST"...

These scrolls must have been found from those Dark Elves that first adventured in these areas... only to be taken back to their fine master, Mayong Mistmoore... I wonder if he will be implemented in the search for the Unholy Khukri of Rile... the GreenMist !

is there some sort of quest spam like anyone at the sk guild who gives this quest out, or are we just supposed to assume that we are to find argest. because when i finished the heroes test he just said somethign like "you have left a crusader ALL HAIL (your name here) A HERO OF GREENMIST" or something like that, did i miss part of the spam or is there a keyword i need to say to xog i tried vok na zov but nothin. any help would be greatly appreciated=)

As far as sk weapons are concerned, this is basically a good dueling weapon. It's ratio just isn't that great considering people sell mace of the shadow soul for like 5000 plat.

Use this when you need the magic resist, otherwise bag it.

This quest is probably the best quest in the game for Iksar Shadowknights. The reward is better than a very rare drop in Sebilis and the quest looks fairly easy (though time consuming).
RE: Damn good
# Jan 23 2001 at 2:07 AM Rating: Excellent
Ok, I guess I will continue to work on my SK iksar weapon quests. I think I am on the second one? Collecting 10 pages and binder in swamp. Anyway, can I get a number count of how many quests it takes to get to this one? Any help will greatly be appreciated. As waiting for those darn frogloks that carry the pages really bores me to death. Thanks in advance.
RE: Damn good
# Jan 23 2001 at 3:30 PM Rating: Good
Kind of stunned to find out that these illegible scroll pages I found so long ago in City of Mist are for this quest, but this looks like a great quest with a great reward. I'm sure a lot of people are lamenting all the steps it takes to get here, but this is series of quests is overall very well designed, logical, and (except for the miserable camp in the Swamp of No Hope that my young iksar is also suffering through!) fun, too.

Can't wait to see Greenmist :)
