You say, 'Hail, High Priestess Alexandrian'

High Priestess Alexandrian says 'Greetings child, what business do you have here? I'm sorry but I will only deal with Clerics that are willing to prove their loyalty to Innoruuk. I cannot deal with every single heathen that feels it is necessary to bid me a good day. If you are a [Cleric of Innoruuk] I might be able to aid you in your training. '

You say, 'I am a Cleric of Innoruuk'

High Priestess Alexandrian says 'Is that so Branaddar. Well from the looks of you I wouldn?t say you are much of anything yet. However, if you have the willingness and determination to serve your God then there might just be more hope for you then I would have thought. Obviously, to move forward in your training, you will need to shield yourself from your enemies and from the elements. I believe I have something that could help you if you are still [interested in proving yourself]. '

You say, 'I am interested in proving myself'

High Priestess Alexandrian says 'Well I must say that I am impressed by your eagerness to learn, however, you are not the first and will not be the last I am sure that has sworn devotion to our Lord Innoruuk. Lets just hope you don't end up in the burial grounds where many promising young ones before you have found their resting place. If you are ready to begin gathering items to fashion your very own Initiate Darkpriest Armor then I will present you with a [magical relic]. '

You say, 'what magical relic?'

High Priestess Alexandrian says 'I have a box that I have been keeping for quite some time and have been waiting to present it to someone like yourself. Someone that I had faith would be strong enough to use it's power to their benefit. This magical box can be used to refine certain metals into a magical compound that is used in crafting Initiate Darkpriest armor pieces. I have the molds necessary to craft Initiate Darkpriest [Helms], [Bracers], [Boots], [Armguards], [Greaves], [Gauntlets] and [Breastplates]. However there are some [important items] that you will need to collect before the molds will be of any use to you. One thing to keep in mind is that I suggest you craft your Breastplate last due to the difficulty of obtaining the items needed for that specific recipe. '

You say, 'what important items?'

High Priestess Alexandrian says 'There are certain items that will need to be gathered in our great city of Neriak along with many different things gathered outside in the Forest of Nektulos, where most of your training will take place. The most important component that you will need to collect while adventuring in the forest are Helms that are only worn by Priests of Rodcet Nife. These vile creatures have set up camp in the forest from what I have heard and it is your responsibility to find and execute them. These helms will be your most important component that you will gather because it is used in all [armor recipes] as the metal that you will forge your armor with. '

You say, 'what armor recipes?'

High Priestess Alexandrian says 'Ah of course , I almost forgot that you will need to know what items to combine in the Dark Blessed Box that I presented you with. Simply tell me the armor piece that you wish to craft and I will give you the list of items that you will need to combine, along with the applicable mold. For example, should you want to craft a Helm first you would say, I want to craft a Initiate Darkpriest`s Helm. Please remember that the exact items must be combined in exact quantities in the box or the infusion will not take place. After you have combined together the items necessary to infuse your metal the correct way, you will need to take the Refined sheet of Holy Metal to the nearest forge and combine it with the correct mold to yield your armor piece. '

You say, 'I want to craft an Initiate Darkpriest Breastplate'

High Priestess Alexandrian says 'So, the time has come for you to gather the items necessary for your most important piece of Armor Branaddar. You will need to combine 5 Helms of the Lifebringer, 1 Deathfist Templar Scalp, 1 Embalming Dust, 1 Matted Halfling Hide and 1 Woven Grass Amulet. Once you have prepared this final Refined sheet of Holy Metal place it in a forge along with this mold to craft your Initiate Darkpriest's Breastplate. After you have done this return to me when you are ready for your final test of loyalty. '

I just accomplished this quest it took me about 3 days lol but I figured I would let people know those Deathfist Templars will drop a scalp at first I was killing all of them Legionnaires to try to get them to spawn and then I noticed they like to spawn under those 2 bigger tents so I focused killing the legionnaires in those 2 tent spots and on about the 3rd day got the scalp drop I had the defiant armor but I wanted that Darkpriest Chest plate to see if I could do it and I like a challenge and I did combine all the items in the box those 5 helmets need to be unstacked and get the sheet and combine it with the mold at a forge and bingo I probably could of got the scalp sooner if I would of known to focus on those 2 tent spots the taller ones but now you know. I see hundreds of people probably gave up or skipped it but this is why it's called everquest one thing I would like to add some people below said this takes to long for noob quest but in the long run of selling all the stuff I kept getting it helped me stack money too which helped me get other things like earrings it makes sense as clerics wear plate armors and need money for the future think about it

Deathfist Templars in the south west camp on the pok book side of the river by the halfling druid circle only 1 will spawn and you gotta keep killing the legionnaires in the 2 tall tent spots, if you keep killing all the legionnaires it will spawn as a roamer sometimes but if you just focus on those 2 tall tent spots you can get them to spawn there

TEMPLAR SCALP!!!!!
# Oct 11 2002 at 5:16 AM Rating: Default
I've been in the forest for probablly 10hours straight killing these templar orcs. THEY DONT DROP. I've killed like 50. This is the worst newbie quest ever. If you just started playing i recommend skipping these quests.
Helm of Lifebringer
# Jul 22 2002 at 4:48 AM Rating: Default
Are the helms called Cracked Helm of Lifebringer? or are those like the common drop and the actual ones are even harder to find?
RE: Helm of Lifebringer
# Nov 14 2003 at 12:42 PM Rating: Decent

It works
# Jun 24 2002 at 9:28 AM Rating: Default
I have gotten everything except arms (damn Ash Draklings) as of today June 24th, 2002. It is all working. Do not use the skull.

If you hail her and she doesn't respond just say "I am a cleric of Innoruuk" with her targeted and that will start the quests.
Uh...WTH?

I hailed High Priestess Alexandrian many many times and she never responded at all. Uh...What the hell?
Correction To Quest Text
# Jun 13 2002 at 5:14 AM Rating: Decent
At the prompt "I want to craft an initiate darkpriest's breastplate" High Priestess Alexandria says 'The time has come for you to gather the items necessary for your most important piece of Armor Braelelilu. You will need to combine 5 Helms of the Lifebringer, 1 Deathfist Templar Scalp, 1 Embalming Dust, 1 Matted Halfling Hide and 1 Woven Grass Amulet. Once you have prepared this final Refined Sheet of Holy Metal place it in a forge along with this mold to craft your Initiate Darkpriest's Breastplate. After you have done this return to me when you are [ready for your final test] of loyalty.'

The halfling scull is NOT needed to create the sheet of enchanted metal for this item.
Templar Scalps
# Jun 01 2002 at 11:54 AM Rating: Decent
I don't think they are that rare, but then again I wasn't looking for them ). I camped an orc camp with an enchanter and cleric one night to level my warrior and I think I got about 2-3 templar scalps.
lifebringer helms
# May 26 2002 at 1:29 PM Rating: Default
what mobs do these drop off of, and where can I find them?
RE: lifebringer helms
# May 27 2002 at 10:46 AM Rating: Decent
Helms are dropped by Initiates, Disciples, and Missionaries of Rodcet Nife. They are near the Halfling camp

# May 24 2002 at 9:57 PM Rating: Default
You guys do know that when you make the BP you cannot stack the lifebringer helmets got me stuck for awhile to then my friend told me i couldnt stack and now i have the Bp.
oops, cut'n'paste error
# May 23 2002 at 10:30 AM Rating: Decent
Of course it is Helms of Lifebringer and not Helms of Lightbringer :)

Halfling Skull
# May 19 2002 at 11:15 PM Rating: Default
Just wanted to let everyone know that the quest giver does NOT ask for a halfing skull. Combine all other components that are asked for at this site but that and you will be able to get your breastplate.
No Skull Required
# May 14 2002 at 2:18 PM Rating: Decent
The Skull is not part of the quest. Least not the patched version
Deathfist Templar Scalp ?!
# May 12 2002 at 5:00 AM Rating: Default
I begin to doubt its existence since I camped one of these three orc camps in Nektulos Forest for 4 days, and

I NEVER saw one.

Same as asheling drake scales and they dont even have a fixed spawn area...

This so-called newbie quest surely is an outstanding work of VI for introducing the spirit of "EverCamp" to newbie...
RE: Deathfist Templar Scalp ?!
# May 13 2002 at 10:29 AM Rating: Decent
The Templar scalp does drop. It's preety rare and only from Deathfist Templars in Nektulous, doesn't matter where they are.
BP solved!
# May 09 2002 at 10:34 AM Rating: Decent
Breastplate of the Darkpriest
AC+12 Sta+5 Wis+3

It's purple/pinkish - kind of like the Hate armor BP.

The problem with combine you are having is due to the Halfling skull. I got 4 halfling skulls until one worked. They are all named the same thing, and I reported this to the GM's. It's just plain buggy. I sent a screenshot in.

Dont even use the halfling skull - then it works like a charm =))
RE: BP solved!
# May 09 2002 at 10:53 AM Rating: Default
Thanks for the input. The hafling skull you say...hmmm, I'll have to have my GF get more, now that's she's 17th and I'm 19th they are lunch meat. (Hafling parts anyone?)
Tonight it will be all you can eat buffet at Lanys T'Vyl. Look for Azeitona, I'll be the SK slaughtering the Haflings by the stump.
BP combination still Flawed
# May 08 2002 at 3:45 PM Rating: Default
After the patch today, they have corrected the spawn of the High Preistess. I got the Boots, the gloves, the greaves and the helm today. But a 16 cleric told me he talked to a guide about the BP. It seems the combination for the BP still doesn't work. You should be able to get all pieces now, except the BP. Not sure if they are going to fix it, but at least the got the rest of the quests up =)

Feels good to post this information, considering the last poster on my filter settings was so negative about whether or not they would reinstate the quest. Hehehe HAH!!!

RE: BP combination still Flawed
# May 09 2002 at 8:02 AM Rating: Default
Yup its true, once i saw she was fixed i took my cleric to her.. i had enough compms for arms,helm bracer and BP... none the less the damm BP doesnt work..i triple checked all comps and still i have 5 helms 1 halflingskull 1 embalming dust 1 matted halflee hide 1 DF templar scalp which took me forever to get and the woven grass crap and its bugged i guess
Bad Deal for Torvonnilous
# Apr 27 2002 at 7:56 PM Rating: Default
I just got Done talking to a GM about 5 minutes ago, and they're not fixing her, they're just going to yank her out of the game. aka no newbie cleric quest anymore, if not for the time being :(
She(naked male, confusing eh?) won't be spawning any more. Oh well. Peace
RE: Bad Deal for Torvonnilous
# Apr 28 2002 at 2:02 PM Rating: Default
Well.. im not sure that GM was entirly well informed.. In recent news posted on castersrealm they said that they are working on the problem on test tehn as soon as the code is solid it will go to the live servers. So we just goota hang in there and we will get our armor. heh even tho the cleric i started for these quests is getting to teh point where i can get better armor it was still fun collecting all teh pieces. Cheers for Verant for some great lowbie quests!
Wish they would fix this
# Apr 25 2002 at 3:02 PM Rating: Decent
Sure do wish they would fix this quest.
BTW where can you get the dust
RE: Wish they would fix this
# Apr 27 2002 at 6:37 PM Rating: Default
Dust drops off the mummies at the monolith or wiz spire.
Patch on 24 April did NOT fix broken BP combine
# Apr 24 2002 at 11:33 AM Rating: Default
Breastplate~ Combine is STILL broken.

Gauntlets~ Halfling Blood does now drop and I will be attempting the combine soon.

Bracer~ Have yet to get an Orc Scalp(rarity) but am definately on the lookout. Was told be our GM (on EMarr) that this ones combine was also broken like the BP.

High Priestess~ Also still marked bugged (has ! in front of her name and is a naked human male) so no turn ins, checks on quest text, or mold acquirements can be made.

Celoria Ta`Mire
55 Templar in service to Innoruuk
All items drop
# Apr 24 2002 at 2:25 AM Rating: Decent
well i have ALL items except the halfling blood.

Ash Drakeling Scales are Rare on them as all drops seem to be rare or just hard to get on a rare spawn rare drop like templar skalp.

The items for Cleric are much easier to get thatn Sk. I camped with my Sk for all items and let my cleric loot. Had all cleric items after about 3 hours (2 hours orc camp) and after 10 hours of skely bashing i still had only 4 bones....i give up on the sk armor, i only wanted it because its DE and Sk..
next patch will fix the breast plate

# Apr 15 2002 at 12:28 AM Rating: Default
this quest is still broken i ahev all the items in the box to combine and it says cannot comine these items a gm confirmed that it is still screwed up i want my damn bp and i have all the journal notes for the lvl 14 rev spell yet i dont wanna do it until this is fixed, ***** eq ***** verant
initiate only?
# Apr 12 2002 at 11:34 AM Rating: Default
Does she offer a next step to the quests after they're completed like the Iksar shackle quests?
Or is there another mob for higher lvls... would be awesome if it was like the iksar ones and the last piece in a series would be good post 50.
Love the new armor quests.
# Apr 12 2002 at 5:18 AM Rating: Default
I have done the boots, helm, and leggings, also have confirmation on bracer (orc scalp does drop).
Still can't find halfling blood, or asheling drake scales, and my combine for the bp did not work. Could be that embalming dust has to be from nektulos, possibly a no drop? Anyway, these new quests rock for newbies, too bad they weren't around when I first started. Armor has a hot pink plate look, and looks nice when worn.
Helm is AC5, sta1, wis1
Boots are AC5, dex1, wis2
Greaves are AC6, sta6, wis2
Hope to post more stats posted soon once the kinks are worked out of the quest.
Some will say this armor suxs, but I think it's awesome, and it is a newbie quest, and alot of fun to do.
G'luck questers!!!
