    You say, 'Hail, Saemey Wirewhisker'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'Welcome to Kejek friend. I am the seer of this village for I have been gifted by the spirits with an affinity for their realm. The barrier between the spirit and physical realms is thin in these lands. The heretics know this and must be prevented from committing [atrocities] similar to those that have been committed in the past.

    You say, 'What sort of atrocities?'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'Long ago when our noble ancestors the Vah Shir were destroyed by an explosion that devastated the warring Heretic and Erudin armies an evil creature by the name of Tserrina Syl'Tor was attracted to the sudden abundance of new spirits in these lands. Tserrina was capable of capturing these spirits before they were able to cross over beyond the mortal realm and through her dark magic transformed them into a [crystalline shadow] substance.

    You say, 'What crystalline shadow substance?'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'The crystalline shadow substance was used as building blocks for Tserrina's tower on an Island near the frozen lands to the south as well as fashioned into armor and weapons for her mindless servants. Emylie Steelclaws has developed a means to purify the armor and weapons using the special properties of our Kejek forge and a smithy hammer blessed by the Titan Spirits. The purifying process transfers the imprisoned spirits into [soul orbs]. Ask Emylie about the purification process.

    You say, 'What are soul orbs?'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'I have perfected a ritual that will free the imprisoned spirits within the soul orbs. I simply require some kejek [spirit powder] to scrawl the proper sigils and a soul orb upon which to perform the ceremony. My apprentice will perform the ceremony on fading soul orbs. Simply bring him a fading soul orb and some kejek spirit powder.

    You say, 'What is kejek spirit powder?'

    Saemey Wirewhisker says 'The spirit power of which I speak is composed of ground spiritling stones. I will grind some powder for you if you would bring me a Valley Spiritling Stone, a Jungle Spiritling Stone, and a Mountain Spiritling Stone. Collecting the stones does not truly harm the spiritlings for when slain in this realm their essence simply disperses until it eventually reforms into a new spiritling.




    1. Talk to Emylie Steelclaws in the same fort.

      You say, 'Hail, Emylie Steelclaws'

      Emylie Steelclaws says 'Shalom friend. My mate Kalaaro is the primary blacksmith of our village. I mostly create his tools, do touch ups and refurbishes, and maintain the [kejek forge].

      You say, 'What kejek forge?'

      Emylie Steelclaws says 'Our forge has received the blessings of the Titan Spirits to burn with a supernatural flame! This flame has many beneficial properties but most importantly it can aid in freeing the spirits that have been imprisoned in materials by evil sorcerers.

      You say, 'What about the purification process?'

      Emylie Steelclaws says 'The crystalline shadow must be purified in the kejek forge using a special hammer blessed by the Titan Spirits. I will craft a hammer for you to take to the Titans for their blessings if you bring me a Large Brick of High Quality Ore and an Oak Shaft. Once the hammer is blessed you may use it in the kejek forge to purify the crystalline shadow and transfer the spirits contained within it to a Soul Orb that must be taken to our village seer.


    2. Give Emylie a Large Brick of High Quality Ore and an Oak Shaft.

      Emylie Steelclaws takes the supplies and begins to work on the hammer. She works swiftly and efficiently then cools the finished hammer and hands it to you.

      Your faction standing with Kejek Village has been adjusted by 2.
      Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 1.
      You gain experience!!

      You receive a Kejekan Smithy Hammer.


    3. Locate a giant ape by the name of Giang Yin in Stonebrunt Mountains.

      You say, 'Hail, Giang Yin'

      Giang Yin looks down upon the creature standing beneath him and speaks. 'You are brave to approach a titan such as Giang Yin. I pray that the spirits have granted you honor and respect as well as courage.'


    4. Give any of the titans the Kejekan Smithy Hammer.

      Prowler of the Jungle, Slyder the Ancient, Old Ghostback, Snowbeast, and Giang Yin will all accept the Kejekan Smithy Hammer.

      Upon turn in to Giang Yin:

      Giang Yin says 'Freeing long imprisoned spirits is a noble cause. Your hammer has our blessing to free the souls from their crystalline shadow tombs.

      Your faction standing with Kejek Village has been adjusted by 2.
      Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 1.
      You gain experience!!

      You receive a Soulforge Hammer.


    5. Place the Soulforge Hammer and one Crystallized Shadow or Faded Shadow item into the Kejek Forge and hit combine. The trivial for all combines is 15 (no-fail).

      -A Faded Shadow weapon results in the Purified weapon and a Fading Soul Orb.
      -A Cyrstalized Shadow weapon results in a Purified Crystal weapon and a Soul Orb.
      -A Cyrstalized Shadow armor piece results in a Purified Crystal armor piece and a Soul Orb.

      From here, collect the Valley, Jungle, and Mountain Spiritling Stones and give them to Saemey Wirewhisker.

      Saemey Wirewhisker grinds the spiritling stones in a mortar and pestle with foreign runes scratched into the ceramic. 'This powder will assist in matters concerning the contacting or freeing of spirits.'

      Your faction standing with Kejek Village has been adjusted by 1.
      Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 1.
      You gain experience!!

      You receive 1-4 Kejek Spirit Powders.


    6. Give one Kejek Spirit Powder and a Soul Orb to Saemey Wirewhisker:

      Saemey Wirewhisker says 'I require a Soul Orb and Kejek Spirit Dust in order to perform the ritual that will free the imprisoned souls. Saemey Wirewhisker scrawls an arcane symbol on the ground with an odd powder and places the orb in its center. He then begins reciting an incantation and waving his arms over the symbol and orb. Moments later the orb shatters and an apparition appears.

      Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 1.
      You gain experience!!

      You receive a Shattered Soul Orb.

      Giving one Kejek Spirit Powder and a Fading Soul Orb (from purifying either the Fading Shadow Rapier or the Fading Shadow Spear) to Mrowro Wirewhisker results in:

      Mrowro Wirewhisker says 'I require a Fading Soul Orb and Kejek Spirit Dust in order to perform the ritual that will free the imprisoned souls.

    I did this quest on e'ci and was happy to get my hammer. I had 2 fading shadow scimitars. Each time I was successfull except I got the message " the item you are attempting to make is not in dbase" and did not give me my weapon. Both times gave me the orb and hammer back. word of warning it doesn't seem like it's all in there yet.

    The Purified Scimitar doesn't appear to have been in the database at that time - the other combinations did work as expected. This MAY now be fixed.

    Anyone know if you can remove the curse from the Dirk of the Traitor with this quest?

    It drops in EW off Rodrick Tardok.
    RE: Dirk of the Traitor
    # Sep 06 2001 at 6:25 AM Rating: Decent
    I very much doubt it. This isn't for removing Curses generally, but for freeing the souls trapped into the items by Tserrina. Rodrick has nothing to do with that storyline.

    1st on prexus server to do this! woot! Valley spirit stone was easily hardest peice to get, had to track it, pl a lower level on it, and if it didn't drop stone rinse and repeat. Well I did it 2 times with 2 fading orbs, A fading heretic apparation spawned both times, was killed by someone who got exp both times, nothing dropped. So I'm stuck with this Shattered orb. Anyone got any further or is it stuck here? Or is this the end of the quest... BTW when I turned in stones I got 4 powders...

    did this quest to, giving the hammer to any of the titans (Giang Yin, Snowbeast, Jungle Prowler, Old Ghostback, ect) will result in the soulforge hammer, i succeded in purifiyng weapons twice w/ 1 skill in smithing. first time i turned in the soul orb and the powder a heretic apparition was spawned, the 2nd time around an elder vha shir spirit was spawned.
    RE: purification
    # Sep 06 2001 at 9:30 AM Rating: Decent
    Hmm, it seems there are rare spawns you can get out. Most of the time it is just a (heretic) apparition, but the elder spirit sounds interesting.

    Maybe the rare spawns give quests (did you talk to him?), or drop something interesting.
    Best place to get Crys. Shadow weaps

    From my experiences in ToFS F5(one of the easiest floors to hold) drops TONS of weaps and powder, very easy to hold too, and you can't forget the rings that drop there(*drools*)...only prob is the enraged relative, he's a pain

    Ive seen two giant mobs in the area, both were blue to me, 46 druids. One was named Prowler of the Jungle, was a giant tiger. The other was called Snowbeast, was a giant fanged tiger. Prowler was killed by someone who it was green too and wouldnt listen, Fatbird. The other dropped some nice boots, but was ninja looted, Beastie. On the quellious server.

    changes armor from No Drop
    # Aug 30 2001 at 4:54 PM Rating: Decent
    the interesting part it that it changes the CS armor from No Drop to tradeable, with very nice resists. But it also changes the classes - I have a nice set of CS armor in the bnak as cha gear, it's shm useable. The new stuff is plate classes only.

    Approach Saemey Wirewhisker at the Kejak fort in the Stonebrunt Mountains.
    You say, 'Hail, Saemey Wirewhisker'

    All combines returns Soulforge Hammer (not verified on failed combines, and was trival at 172 for me and at 147 for a friend).

    a fading erudite apparitio regards you indifferently -- You could probably win this fight.

    You recieve a Shattered Fading Soul Orb.
    Someone below the trivial line could killed it. No loot, no faction.

    I tried following a released spirit, and it just followed the path to the river and vanished. Next I'll try handing the spirit a Kejek Spirit Powder. It would also be interesting to see if the Harnessed Soul Gem can be purified.

    Titan Spirits
    # Aug 30 2001 at 12:46 PM Rating: Decent
    From the posts here and on other boards, it appears that the Titan Spirits may be the large animal guardians in the Stonebrunt Zone. It would make sense that the Giant Panda, etc..., which is blue at 54 and various other named mobs are the guardian spirits of the Kejekens (sp.) I would imagine that you have to take the Spirit Hammer and get it blessed by each of the spirits before it can become imbued with the ability to craft the spirit orbs.

    As to the Crystalline Shadow, there is a powder like substance that drops off most mobs in the Tower of Frozen Shadow, albeit irregularly, which is black in appearance and called "Crystalline Shadow." It is possible that you need the loose form version of this and not the weapons. I would recommend checking the Gnoll Vendors outside of TOFS who should have stacks of this buried in their inventory.
    Extra Info
    # Aug 30 2001 at 12:46 PM Rating: Default
    ID'd these when first visiting Tower awhile back.

    Crystallized Shadows- Frozen shadows powdered into dust

    Crystallized Shadow (weapon name)- You sense a trapped soul

    Fading Shadow (weapon name)- You sense a fading soul


    Not sure if this is any great help, but just additional information.

    1) The Crystallized Shadow is likely the weapons... Quote: "Emylie Steelclaws has developed a means to purify >>> the armor and weapons <<< using the special properties of our Kejek forge and a smithy hammer blessed by the Titan Spirits."

    It seems they have made a typo in the quest text though, as they call it Crystalline Shadow.

    2) I made a Kejekan Smithy Hammer by handing Emylie a large brick of HQ ore and the pole they sell next to her.
    "Emylie Steelclaws takes the supplies and begins to work on the hammer. She works swiftly and efficiently then cools the finished hammer and hands it to Canilupus ."

    But the quest says to get the hammer blessed by Titan Spirits. But I can't find any mob called anything that resembles that.

    Emylie says:

    You say, 'can you tell me about the purification process?'
    Emylie Steelclaws says 'The crystalline shadow must be purified in the kejek forge using a special hammer blessed by the Titan Spirits. I will craft a hammer for you to take to the Titans for their blessings if you bring me a Large Brick of High Quality Ore and an Oak Shaft. Once the hammer is blessed you may use it in the kejek forge to purify the crystalline shadow and transfer the spirits contained within it to a Soul Orb that must be taken to our village seer.

    Wondering where the Titan Spirits are at. Spent 6 hours looking in SBM yesterday.
    RE: Two things

    The Titan Spirits are *probably* the giant animals that are located in the zone. I read on EQTraders that its possible to talk to Old Silverback (when he's not being nuked by a bored highlevel player), and I would guess that the giant gorilla is one of the Titan Spirits mentioned by the cat.
    Spiritling Stones
    # Aug 30 2001 at 8:16 AM Rating: Decent
    I was in SBM with my 40 warrior and tried to do this quest. One problem... all the spiritlings are green, and the stones are magic items (saw one on a merchant for 13p). So this part of the quest has to be done early, or bought from other players. Nice way to ***** up a quest...... =(

    The whole idea behind loot rules is so you Ubers let us low levels have some fun too. Quit whining and go raid something.
    RE: Spiritling Stones
    # Sep 12 2001 at 2:27 PM Rating: Decent
    BUt the problem is that you can't do the first half of this quest untill much later! so you have to do the second half when you are low level (like mid 20s) then wait until you are 30+ to get the wearpons for the first part of the quest! In general I am in favor of the loot limits, but in this case, I am NOT. It makes no sense for us to either have to fill up our precious storage slots with unfinished quest stuff, or to have the quest undoable except with the help of a lower level character! GRRRRRR

    Maybe the changes brought out by the latest patch will help... maybe

    Um, there are other quests in the game that a level 40 warrior can do. Try one of those.

    # Aug 31 2001 at 12:30 AM Rating: Decent
    I agree that farming can be a bad thing, but putting level limits on looting isn't the best idea either (as this quest shows). My personal belief is that if you want to limit a quest (to stop farming) you should just make the process include no drop items, or make the end result a no drop item. After all, the next time a new zone opens up (hopefully before luclin comes out) who want's to have to start a new char from scratch just to be able to hunt/loot/quest there.
    RE: Spiritling Stones
    # Aug 30 2001 at 4:10 PM Rating: Default
    The problem is that ToFS, where part of this quest is performed, is designed for levels 30-40. So just as a player is barely able to think about performing one area of this quest, another area of it is pretty much trivved out. Sure there are other quests that level 40 warriors can participate in, but part of this quest requires players of around that level to perform.

    Uhhh Spiritlings were everything from green to deepish red (judging by how hard they hit) to my lvl 24 druid. There are several different varieites of them there. The Mountain Spiritlings seem to be the highest level ones.

    Think I remember these things ... in ToFS ... they look like Charcoal, and they stack. Can drop off any mob, I believe ... but seems sort of rare. Got one on 6th floor last night, actually ... never have known what they were for.

    Obviously, Verant thought about this quest for a while before putting Velious together? Or, maybe they had a spare item they could use for 2 quests? More betting on the former, because I don't know if any other quest uses these things.

    Anyway, mention to friends and guildies to keep them next time they go to the Tower ... another thing, even at a basic level ... this requires you to go into Velious and not die, and to fight at least on floor 1 of the Tower ...

    Kinda throws away the idea of SM being like a relatively low level zone? Was gonna bring my 22nd warrior there to level up, maybe I shall bring my 28th rogue instead ... or if I am really paranoid, my 40th monk!

    Crystallized Shadow is not a weapon. A Crystallized Shadow Rapier is a weapon. Odd, huh?

    You can always /auction to buy Crystallised or Fading Shadow Daggers/Rapiers/Swords/etc. but to do this yourself, would require you to be about level 30+ (35+preferably) with Velious installed and then take an incredibly long journey (From Stonebrunt-Warrens-Paineel-Toxxulia-Erudin-BOATRIDE-Qeynos-QeynosHills-WestKarana-NorthKarana-EastKarana-HighHoldPass-Kithicor-WestCommons-EastCommons-NorthRoDesert-LONGBOATRIDE-Iceclad Ocean-TowerOfFadingShadow) which will probably take about 2.5hours if you have SoW and don't die.

    Or you could buy a TP from SBM, (i hear some Druids have already bought the Ring-lvl29 and Circle-lvl34 of SBM) to Iceclad, the going rate to and from Velious is about 30pp-50pp, or at least what is always offered.

    Once you get there, you will have to spend some time getting the Crys/Fading Shadow stuff, and i believe they drop more commonly of the higher floors, but needs a key to access each subsequent floor. EQ Atlas at of this post does not have a proper map, so you micht want to bring a friend who knows the place to help with the navigation. Once you get back from there, IF you don't TP, (there are many Druids in Iceclad quad kiting snowcougars or kiting Frost giants around, so should be pretty easy to ask one of them nicely for a TP to Toxx or SBM) you'll spend another few hours running back full of Crys Shadow and Fading Shadow stuff, hopefully SoWed.

    ----------
    This part i have not done yet, so this is how i think it goes.
    You will have to do a mini quest for Emylie to make Soul Orbs. Give one CS/FS item and a soul orb to Emylie and get back a Crsytallised/Fading(?) Soul Orb. or You may just have to give Emylie the crys/fading shadow stuff to get a Crys Soul orb or Fading Soul Orb instead.

    Go to the mountainous regoins in SBM, kill a spiritling and take the Mountain Spiritstone(lots of rocks and the ground is not grassy but stone), go to the jungle (thick wooded areas) and kill a spiritling for a Jungle Spiritstone, and then go to the plains or the lightly forested areas in SBM and kill spiritlings to get a Valley Spiritstone. These spirit stones should look like BOlightstone, lightstones and GLS from Wisps.

    Give all 3 spiritling stones to Saemey Wirewhisker, and get back a Kejekan SpiritPowder.

    a) Give Spirit Powder + Soul Orb to Saemey to release the soul.

    b) Give Spirit Powder + Fading Soul Orb to Saemey's Assistant to release the fading soul.

    Get experience and Faction, not sure but as of this post (since i have not gone this far) i think it might bring down your Heretic and Erudin factions, and raise your Kejekan(of course).

    When someone completes this quest, hopefully more important information will be posted and we will go with that instead.

    Thanks fer listenin'

    That's the kind of journey I do every few days - I love travelling.

    The various shadow weapons are always on sale on the Iceclad Igloo vendors or in Thurgadin and I suspect it will be a while before word gets out that they might be good for something more than vendor loot, so now's the time to stock up if your character isn't able to hunt TOFS yet.
    Quests?

    I would suspect that after aquring the orb that you need to bring this person the Crystaline shadow weapons dropped from tower to here to release there energy. I have several of these weapons i think i may just hold onto them for any possiable need.
