    If you have the Jagged Blade of War or have done the pre-quest:

    Korbuk's First Vision

    Korbuk Brimblade may be found in Dranik's Scar northwest of the port-in at -1045, -1365.

    You say, 'Hail, Korbuk Brimblade'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Well now, aren't you a meager one? Da name is Korbuk Brimblade. Have you felt anything strange lately?'

    You say, 'I have felt something strange.'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Aha, you have sensed it as well. For a while, I believed it was just me dat noticed it. Now dat you've confirmed my suspicions, I'm sure I can move forward with my [work].'

    You say, 'What work?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Yeah, ok. You look like da respectable type. I wish it was an easy story to tell, but me thinks it's not so easy. I'm uncertain if you know da story of da red scabbard. I was named after my ancestor by da same name. In a great war, Rallos Zek bestowed to my ancestor da fabled red scabbard after Suteng was slain. It had been his charge and dat of my family to hold da scabbard until a [true warrior] would step forward to claim it as theirs once more.'

    You say, 'What true warrior?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Time passed and no warrior came forth. Then da terrible scourge took hold of da ogres and we began to lose ourselves. It was then dat another ancestor of mine, Grivnok Brimblade, asked a human to take charge of da scabbard until da scourge had waned. He would know dat time when a descendant of Korbuk with da same name would come forth. It was then dat da Redblade family, led by Thegrek, took over da charge of da scabbard until I would return to [reclaim da charge] in da name of da Brimblade family.'

    You say, 'Reclaim da charge?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'It was I who returned to da Redblades, who spoke with da descendant of Thegrek. But I could not reclaim da charge. I felt a greater power, something more amazing and powerful than even da red scabbard contained. What draw I felt from da scabbard I felt ten fold from this [new source], and I was unable to explain where it was coming from. I just know dat it has drawn me here, to this place, so that I might find da answers I seek here.'

    You say, 'What new source?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'I can't express who or what it is dat is drawing me here. I only know dat this is where I must be. I feel as though this is something like da scabbard, but more powerful. Perhaps it is a new weapon? If so, I must be da one to lead da charge to protect its power until da right warrior comes along to claim it. Just as my family led da charge so long ago to protect da red scabbard, so shall I continue it with this new journey. Are you [willing to help] knowing all dat?'

    You say, 'I am willing to help.'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'I had hoped so. Let's get started then. It seems the powerful lure is greatest when I am at this point, so I must remain here to ensure dat I can keep a grasp on where it resides. I'm hoping dat after you return with whatever you can find, I'll be able to uncover more information. From time to time, I get flashes of da things dat we need to find, like da picture of a place or a [thing]...'

    You say, 'What thing?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Just now I had a flash of a book, or pages of a book. Just as quickly as the book was there, it split into da cover and three pages and then fell to da ground. I wonder if dat's going to happen often... In any case, maybe you should have a look around to see if you can find any pages from a book that are on da ground. Return to me if you find them.'

    Bring the pages and cover back to Korbuk.

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Those... those are da pages and da cover I saw. You don't suppose dat da two are linked, do you? What if they are, what could dat mean? I don't even know what these say! I think you should take these to a linguist to decipher them. I knew one in da abysmal sea, aboard da hulking boat, but I forget his name. I do recall dat it was a funny name, though.'

    You receive the pages and cover back.

    Translate the Pages

    Rewina Jalmoy may be found in the Abysmal Sea at -310, +250.

    You say, 'Hail, Rewina Jalmoy'

    Rewina Jalmoy says 'Hello ______. What's that I see? Are you [smirking] at me? That's not very nice of you.'

    You say, 'I am not smirking.'

    Rewina Jalmoy says 'Well, I don't think it's very nice to laugh at someone just because of his name. I didn't pick it, you know. Go laugh at my parents.'

    Give him the pages and cover.

    Rewina Jalmoy says 'Oh my, what is this? Someone looking to interact with me who isn't making fun of my name?! I'm shocked! So what have you brought me, hmm? Ooo, what a collection of fine specimens! Where on Norrath did you find these? Did you find them on Norrath? Oh wordy me! I always seem to get sidetracked, but I did manage to decipher what these pages say for you. Don't be a stranger, come back and see me any time you like!'

    You receive a Recounted History of War, which reads:

    Dranik's Vengeance

    The time of turmoil is at an end. We must strike back at the infidels who try to thin our numbers. From the west, we find the power of the ancients, and from the north we find refuge in our heritage.

    We have fought long and hard to ensure our way of life. We do not fear death, nor do we fear them. We live for the hunt and will make them pay, even if it means our own deaths. We call him Kratak Drom, the Broken One. He is a myth to our people, but clearly the myth is real.

    The pain he feels will be surreal, though. I find myself carving his name into my table at night, hoping for a chance at his neck, hoping to rinse my blade in his blood. His denial of our people will be his downfall and we will see to it that we bring him and his minions mercilessly to their knees.

    The war will be ours. Victory over life in Dranik's Scar.

    Korbuk's Second Vision

    Head back to Korbuk and give him the Recounted History of War.

    Korbuk Brimblade grimaces in pain for a moment before opening his eyes. 'Things are getting stranger by da moment. I just had a vision of a creature dat wanders about da area below, then it went dark. I'm not sure if this creature is part of everything else, but it certainly is something we should check out. I know it seems silly, but you should have this [rock].'

    You receive a TEMPORARY Energy Receptor.

    You say, 'What is this rock?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'I was holding da rock when I had dat vision. Whatever happened to me was passed into da rock as well and I can sense some power within da rock now. Maybe holding da rock will lead you to da creature or maybe it will lead you to something near da creature, I don't really know. You have to keep a tight grip on it though, else I don't think you'll feel da power drawing you as I did. If you do find da beast, be careful. There's no telling what dangers lay in this place.'

    Put the Energy Receptor on your cursor and wait. Eventually it will lead you to the Blackfall Borer. Follow it around for a while and it will drop Blackfall Ore at one of the following locations:

    +1600, +200
    -1070, +155


    Korbuk's Third Vision

    Bring the ore back to Korbuk.

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'And you say you found this in a pile dat da creature left behind? I wonder what da story behind dat is... In any case, touching this gave me a brief glimpse of something sharp. It almost seemed like it was a blade. You should probably take this to get it looked at by a skilled [smith].'

    You say, 'What smith?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Blacksmith, yes. She's dealt with some of da more interesting things I've needed worked on lately and I know she'll be able to help with dat ore as well. She's in Nedaria's Landing, so you shouldn't have a lot of trouble finding her. Give her da ore and these smelting plans, she should know what to do wit them from there.'

    You receive the ore back and some Smelting Plans. Head to Nedaria's Landing and find "a blacksmith." Make sure you bring seven Water Flasks with you. If you don't bring enough, the blacksmith won't respawn properly.

    You say, 'Hail, a blacksmith'

    The blacksmith despawns and respawns as Korezna Orecleaver.

    Korezna Orecleaver says 'Ugh, too hot in here. I can't really... ... talk until I've gotten cooled down a bit. Do you have anything that I can cool down with, maybe some water?'

    Give her four Water Flasks.

    Korezna Orecleaver says 'That helps, but I'm still too hot! More... water... please!'

    Give her three more Water Flasks.

    Korezna Orecleaver says 'Phew, thanks much for helping me cool down a bit. I guess you never realize how hot it can get working in here all the time. So anyway, what do you need worked on?'

    Give her the ore and the plans.

    Korezna Orecleaver says 'Ooh, that's an interesting ore. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. Seems as though your friend knows all about it already though, huh? Alrighty, let me get down to the forge so I can work on this for you. Give me just a minute.'

    She despawns. After a few moments, you "hear:"

    Korezna Orecleaver says 'Nice looking blade, I must say. I'm hope whoever this is for will be happy with the results. I'm gonna get back up to my post now, have a lot of work to get done still. Thanks for stopping by!'

    You receive a Blackfall Blade.

    Korbuk's Fourth Vision

    Bring the blade back to Korbuk.

    Korbuk Brimblade says, 'What a fine looking blade, I must say dat smith did good work in such a short time. Hopefully it wasn't too much touble for you. I... oh my, this can't be good. Da creature... it's [loose]!'

    You say, 'Loose?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says, 'Somehow da creature dat left da ore has made its way back to Norrath and is tearing through da mountainsides! You have to head it off in da crumbling caverns of Vxed before it can get any further! Be careful, though. I had a vision of some of its spawn with it so you may have to take care of more than just da one creature when you get there. Now Hurry!'

    This gives you an invisible flag. Bring a group to Vxed, and three Blackfall Borerlings will spawn around the zone. The first one spawns near zone-in at -3250, -750 and has line-of-sight aggro. The second one is along the left path from zone-in: head straight at the first intersection until the path ends, then go left to location -2183.59, 348.65, 240.27. The third one is located down the path along the right path from zone-in, just before crossing the bridge as though you were heading toward the NPC to win the trial at location -1381.59, 1626.75, 329.43. Once all three Borerlings are dead, you'll see a zonewide emote (You notice a rumbling echo through the mountains. The Blackfall Borer is waiting for you...). It is partially slowable and hits for 1100 max. Loot a Vial of Blackfall Blood.

    Map locations:
    P -348.6478, 2183.5874, 236.5213, 0, 0, 0, 1, Blackfall_Borerling_2
    P 1626.7537, 1781.5902, 325.6835, 0, 0, 0, 1, Blackfall_Borerling_3

    Korbuk's Fifth Vision

    Bring the blood back to Korbuk.

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Dat was too close! You did a good job though and stopped dat beast before it could get too far on Norrath. We don't know what it might have been capable of otherwise. I've sealed da blood of da beast in a vial for you for da [journey]. I also got another [vision] when I took hold of da vial.'

    You gain experience!!

    You receive a Sealed Vial of Blackfall Blood.

    You say, 'What journey?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'I noticed dat da blood gave me some kind of feeling. I'm not sure whether it was da same magic dat's been giving me visions or something new, but I'd like you to take it to a shaman I knew briefly growing up. He's a friend of da Redblade family and I'm sure he'd be willing to help. Just tell him I sent you. His name is Kimber Whitefoot and you shouldn't have trouble finding him, he's a very large barbarian.'

    You say, 'What vision?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Da vision I had showed me an impish creature. It was dark and twisted and seemed to devour energy from da chaos surrounding us. I don't know what part it plays in this, but like everything else, I'm sure it's important. Perhaps there is another portal around dat was destroyed, like it was in Taelosia. See if you can find it and look for da creature there, then return to me whatever it may have in its possession dat we can use.'

    Kimber Whitefoot spawns in Everfrost Peaks at 7 AM gametime at the zoneline to Halas and runs to Permafrost. Give him the Sealed Vial of Blackfall Blood during morning hours, he will not accept it after morning hours. (What is the cutoff time?)

    Kimber Whitefoot says 'Great, wait out here for a while. I've got to make a trip into the frozen mountain of Permafrost, but I'll be out some time this evening. I should have enough time on my trek to examine the vial. I'll be back soon!'

    He despawns at the entrance to Permafrost and respawns at 7 PM gametime.

    You say, 'Hail, Kimber Whitefoot'

    Kimber Whitefoot says 'Yes, yes, you again. I had a chance to examine the vial you gave me. Quite an interesting substance, I must say. Scary though. Where did you say you found it? Never mind, it's not important. I made a potion out of the vial, but I can feel an evil presence within. I want to be rid of it, so you can have it back. Please don't come to me with anything like that again. I'm really not into dealing with spirits of such heinous design. Good luck.'

    You receive a Potion of Blackfall Spirit.

    Korbuk's Sixth Vision

    Bring the potion back to Korbuk.

    Korbuk Brimblade gags as he takes hold of the potion, then quickly returns it to you. 'I had no idea such a strong presence would be coming from this after Kimber worked with it. I hope he's ok. Now dat we've taken care of dat, we can focus on the last [vision] I had.'

    You say, 'What vision?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Da vision I had showed me an impish creature. It was dark and twisted and seemed to devour energy from da chaos surrounding us. I don't know what part it plays in this, but like everything else, I'm sure it's important. Perhaps there is another portal around dat was destroyed, like it was in Taelosia. See if you can find it and look for da creature there, then return to me whatever it may have in its possession dat we can use.'

    Head to the Bloodfields with 3-4 groups and kill 4 x Girplan Slasher to spawn the Girplan Devourer, which quads for 1900, rampages, and AEs Avatar Power and Corrosive Breath. Loot a Decrepit Hilt, after which a chest can spawn with additional loot. Bring the hilt back to Korbuk.

    Korbuk Grimblade says, 'What a worthless specimen this is. I don't understand why my vision would show me dat creature if all it had was this mediocre quality hilt. I also don't understand why there's energy emanating from da hilt when it cannot be used to wield a blade in its current state. I think we're going to have to look into [cleaning up da hilt].'

    You say, 'Cleaning up da hilt?'

    Korbuk Grimblade says, 'Right now it would fall apart if you tried to attach a blade to it. We're going to put some luster back into da hilt and I think I may know someone who can do it. I don't remember her name or even where I found her, but I do remember running into a [shady jeweler] on da outskirts of one of the larger cities of Kunark.'

    You say, 'What shady jeweler?'

    Korbuk Grimblade says, 'She worked on da outskirts to sell to less reputable individuals, like myself. She didn't live on the outskirts though, only worked there. I want to say she was part of da port authority, but I can't quite remember. I also don't remember her name, or if I even ever knew it, but I do remember dat she was one of da best I ever dealt with. Take da hilt to her, if you can find her, and see what she can do with it. One more thing, she's a fan of her own tongues, so be prepared for dat when you speak with her.'

    The shady jeweler in question is Corfia Nultethen, found at +140, -3300 in Firiona Vie after the dark races conquered the elven outpost. To talk to her, you must speak in Elder Elvish.

    You say, 'Hail, Corfia Nultethen'

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'Yes, what can I do for you?'

    You say, 'Korbuk sent me.'

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'That's really quite fascinating, but doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I really don't care who sent you. You don't have any [items of value] to me, so be gone.'

    You say, 'What items of value?'

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'Well... if you must know, I'm in need of a platinum bar so I can continue my work.'

    Give her a Platinum Bar.

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'Aha, something worth my time. But I've changed my mind. I'd prefer if you made me something that really showed me how interested you are in my craft. We jewelers are hard to please, but if you can present me with a [Nocturnal Mask of Acuity], I'd be more than willing to at least speak with you.'

    You say, 'What Nocturnal Mask of Acuity?'

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'The mask is an interesting blend that will allow me to see much better in the darkness, where we elves can sometimes have trouble. To make it, you'll need an enchanted electrum bar and two darkened star rose quartz. Show it to me when you've made it.'

    She sells the basic ingredients for the items in question. Get a jeweler to craft the mask (trivial 103). Give her the mask.

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'Well done, but not great. It doesn't have the sight properties I'd hoped for, but it looks nice nonetheless. I half thought you'd shy away from creating such a lustrous piece of jeweled metal. You didn't though, so now you have my attention. What is it that you have for me to look at?'

    Give her the hilt.

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'What a filthy piece of rubbish! This will need a good deal of work, I can guarantee you that. I have a small repository of supplies that I only rarely use, and one of the things I have is a cleaning solution. I don't often use it for most mundane things, but I'd be willing to part with some if you're willing to do me a [favor].'

    You say, 'You want me to do you a favor?'

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'Yes indeed. I've been spending such a long time in the city lately that I just haven't had time to go on the expeditions I used to. Such a strong and capable person as you would be able to fill in nicely. You see, I've always wanted to explore the depths of [Veksar] to find out what treasures are hidden down there.'

    You say, 'Veksar?'

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'I've heard plenty of stories and read a number of tales about artifacts of great wealth down there. In fact, I was able to get a sneak peek into the ruins some time ago, but not enough to find what I needed. One of the most interesting things I've read about is a tome of bones made for a necromancer named [Galuk Drek].'

    You say, 'Galuk Drek?'

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'Oh, he was a beast, to be sure. One of the nastier creatures down there, but also one of the most brilliant, from what I've read. Drek kept the tome full of information on various crafts, and one of them just happens to be jewelcraft. I'd love to set my hands on that tome, and if you can find it, I'd be more than willing to finish up this hilt for you in no time!'

    Decaying Lord Galuk Drek may indeed be found in Veksar at location +280, -485. Upon zoning into Veksar:

    Decaying Lord Galuk Drek has sensed your presence. He's waiting for you...

    If you zone out and zone back in, you will see:

    You have less than one hour left before you will see the Decaying Lord Galuk Drek again.

    He doubles for 1800, can be slowed, and AEs Darkened Decay. Once he's dead, loot a Skeletal Tome of Galuk Drek. Bring it back to Corfia.

    Corfia Nultethen says, in Elder Elvish, 'Wow... I hadn't expected you'd be so quick about things. This is the most amazing find ever, you've helped me more then you could ever know! Thanks so much! I made sure to polish that hilt up for you as best as I could, and even added a few touches to it that'll make even stronger that it was before.'

    You receive a Glistening Hilt.

    Korbuk's Seventh Vision

    Bring this hilt back to Korbuk.

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Ah yes, Corfia. I remember her now. She did quite a fine job cleaning up dat hilt, eh? It's more ornate than it looked before. Didn't you say she added a couple additional touches to make it stronger? I wonder if style changes were part of dat... in any case... I... oh boy. I just had another [glimpse] from touching da hilt. Here take it back.'

    You say, 'What glimpse?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'It was a series of images, really. One was of a [young combatant] within da Muramite ranks. One was of a [gorge] somewhere. Da third was a [maze] of some sort, and da final one was in a [field of blood]. At da end, I saw four eyes dat appeared in da center of da hilt. I'm guessing da eyes go in those four holes on each side of da hilt and dat one each can be found in those four places.'

    You say, 'What young combatant?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'I noticed a creature dat walked like a man but looked like a dragon and was near a fortress. I can't say where exactly it was, but I can say it was a powerful looking creature unchanged by da onslaught of war. I'm guessing he is a relatively new champion of their people.'

    You say, 'What gorge?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Giant creatures lumbered over da eye. I can't really say much else because dat's all I saw. They were massive and didn't look terribly friendly.'

    You say, 'What maze?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Near a great crystal tower within da maze, I saw da eye gleaming up at da sky. You should take caution because da tower is unlike any I've ever seen before.'

    You say, 'What field of blood?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'In a field of blood, near a large fortress, you'll find da fourth eye, though it may be out of da sight of prying eyes.'

    The eyes may be found as follows:

    Wall of Slaughter - Stone of Eternal Power: Northeast Eye

    Dropped by the Dragorn Champion, a level 70 raid encounter that hits for 1900, rampages, and procs Dark Mass, Dragorn Champion's Venom, and Venom Claw. Upon looting the stone, a chest can spawn with additional loot.

    Nobles' Causeway - Stone of Eternal Power: Southwest Eye

    Ground spawn in the pit with Bone Cracker at +1140, +665. You can retrieve it without aggro if you time his movements properly.

    Muramite Proving Grounds - Stone of Eternal Power: Southeast Eye

    Ground spawn at -3765, -730.

    The Bloodfields - Stone of Eternal Power: Northwest Eye

    Ground spawn at +1530, +1040.

    Give the four eyes to Korbuk.


    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Yes, those must be da stones dat fit into those holes! I'm not entirely sure how... wait, I know! We need to have a gem setter put these back in place and I know just da one. His name is Gridbar Galund and he makes his stay out in da towering mountains of Butcherblock. He owes me a favor or two, so I'm sure he'd be more than willing to help you out with this.'

    You gain experience!!

    Gridbar Galund may be found in the Butcherblock Mountains at +2335, +2110.

    You say, 'Hail, Gridbar Galund'

    Gridbar Galund says 'Hiya there. Oh me oh my, never mind. Huh? What can I do for ya? Er... wow, look at that bright... huh? I'm here! Hi! Are you looking for Gridbar? I think he's around here somewhere...'

    You say, 'Korbuk sent me.'

    Gridbar Galund says 'Ooh, Korbuk. Big and important, yes. Gridbar should know what Korbuk wants. You say your name is Korbuk? Or did you say you were Gridbar? Huh? Who are you? Right, Korbuk. Did you bring the stones?'

    Give him the eyes.

    Gridbar Galund says 'Ah... huh? Oh, Gridbar says he needs a [gemming tool]. Who? What do you want? Something about Korbuk? Where's Gridbar? He says you need a [spell called Fire]. Huh? Gridbar who? No cookies for me now, thanks. Huh?'

    You gain experience!!

    You say, 'What gemming tool?'

    Gridbar Galund says 'Yes, yes. Gemming tool. Very strong... huh? Korbuk wants a cookie? Where's Gridbar? Gridbar who? I know I'm a horse, so what? Huh? Right, tool. Need a flask of water... huh? Two high quality metal bits. Where's the beef? One gemming mold. Cook them in a forge, you got yourself a... what? Tool, gemming tool.'

    You say, 'What spell called Fire?'

    Gridbar Galund says 'Can buy it from a... what? Wow! Look at the stars! What stars? Where's Korbuk? Who are you?! Buy from a shop. Someone has it. Not me. Maybe Gridbar.'

    The Gemming Mold is sold by Armorer Caedus in Sanctus Seru at +80, +475. Combine 2 x High Quality Metal Bits + 1 x Water Flask + 1 x Gemming Mold in a forge to craft a Gemming Tool (trivial 115).

    Buy the Spell: Fire scroll from Tisiana at the druid ring in the Lavastorm Mountains.

    Give the Gemming Tool and Spell: Fire scroll to Gridbar.


    Gridbar Galund says 'Oh, a hammer! No? Who are you? Where's Gridbar? I need a bottle of milk! No you don't. Gridbar says to eat some bread. Why? Huh? Give Gridbar the receptacle. What? The eye sockets! Give him the socket piece!'

    You gain experience!!

    Give him the Glistening Hilt.

    Gridbar Galund says 'Ooh, pretty. Huh? Gridbar likes it. Not me though, I think it's too bright. Who are you? What? Fine, I need some time with this. Gridbar does, not me. Who? He'll work on it, but I need you to... no wait, Gridbar needs you to do something for him. For me. For who? My sister is in Shadowhaven and needs a keg stamp. Give this to her for her brother. Who? Gridbar. That's me? Why?'

    You gain experience!!

    You receive a Carved Keg Stamp. Koren Galund may be found in Shadow Haven, south of the Nexus port-in, at -310, +1440. Give her the stamp.

    Koren Galund says 'Excellent, the stamp I've been waiting for! I see you've met my brother. He's nice and a great gemsetter, but not altogether there, if you know what I mean. I really appreciate you doing this for me. Make sure you get this tube back to him. I'm sure he'll need it for whatever job you've got him working on. And be patient with him. He'll get his thoughts out eventually.'

    You gain experience!!

    You receive a Tube of Setting Solution. Bring this back to Gridbar.

    Gridbar Galund says 'Nice, just what Gridbar needed. I needed. No he didn't. I want a sandwich. Gnome sandwich? Which sandwich is which? Aha! Genius! Who? This helps me finish the gem setting. Good good. Here's your socket piece. Gridbar likes it. Huh?'

    You gain experience!!

    You receive a Hilt of Eternal Power.

    Korbuk's Eighth Vision

    Give the hilt to Korbuk.

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'Met up with Gridbar did you? He's an oddball, for certain, but he's da best at what he does. I don't think I've ever seen stones set so finely into anything before, wouldn't you say? Alrighty, I think... wow [another image]...'

    You gain experience!!

    You say, 'Another image?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'This one is of da completed sword. It's not too shabby, but it's not great either. It looks like there will be more dat needs to be done than just what we have so far. In any case, I know how to get da sword put back together. It'll involve a trip to see my brother, [Krekk].'

    You say, 'Krekk?'

    Korbuk Brimblade says 'He's become one of da finest sword makers I've ever known. He'll know just how to put da hilt and da sword together to make a finely balanced weapon. He had come with me to this place, but went ahead to find new and precious metals he could use to make new blades. I think he mentioned visiting a ruined city somewhere, but I'm not certain.'

    You should have the hilt, the potion, and the blade. Head to the Ruined City of Dranik with 3-4 groups and find Krekk Brimblade at +930, -1135. Give him the items.

    Krekk Brimblade says 'You've been working very closely with my brother, I see. No doubt he wants my help to finish da sword for you. I'll put da sword together, you can rest assured of that. But I won't be giving it back to you. Oh no, I think I'll keep it for myself. I'll be da one to continue da Brimblade legacy and strike fear into da hearts of men! Not him!'

    You gain experience!!

    Krekk Brimblade says 'You are too weak for me! Die now by my hand!'

    He will attack you. He hits for 2k and AEs Whirlwind Slice. Loot the Champion's Sword of Eternal Power, after which a chest can spawn with additional loot.

    Head back to Korbuk.


    You say, 'Hail, Korbuk Brimblade'

    Korbuk Brimblade looks saddened. 'Dat sword, there's something wrong with it. Was it my brother? This is terrible news. I had no idea he had been so corrupted by this place. I had no idea he'd turn into a monster and try to steal away dat which we have been charged to protect! Luckily you were able to stop him and recover da sword. You should keep it in your possession. I have a feeling you're da [one] I've been waiting for.'

    You have gained an ability point! You now have 5 ability points.

    You also have access to your new epic 1.5 title, "Conqueror."

    First part of quest (search for pages and cover) is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. The locations listed are incorrect and if someone picks up bag it has to respawn. I was in zone with 3 others and we basically killed almost 3/4 of the mobs to find 4 bags. If you want to get an idea of time figure being in zone for around 3-4 hours to find these. Hopefully the end result will be worth it.

    There many more spawn points for the pages that are not listed on the maps. I found my cover near the zone line to Nobles Causeway, right before you head down the tunnel to the zone hang a right and run to the top of the landing there and you will see it spawned on the ground if you are lucky, plus there are about 5 other locations that I found pages.

    Gave Gridbar the eyes and got xp, then went through text and gave him the gemming tool and the fire spell. He at them both, so i went and got more he ate those too. Have petition in on it, no response. Anyone else get a fix to this problem yet??
    -EDIT: GM got back to me within a couple hours, adjusted my flags according to his response and it caused me to LD. Went back did the turn in of the gemming tool and spell, got no response, so gave hilt anyhow. He returned Carved Keg Stamp! So apparently warriors are having flag problems in the quest, the GM did not describe, good luck warriors!

    It hosed me up also, I even tried turning the gemming tool and spell:fire in four more times and got no text. I even tried handing in the glistening hilt afterwards but he just returned it and said he didn't need this. I am of course still waiting for a reply from my petition but its really getting old that Sony likes to "fix" stuff that has nothing wrong with it and ends up breaking quests.

    Apparently the gm that sees your petition is prolly going to think you screwed up somewhere and flag your petition as solved. There is a thread on the quest forum at eqplayers where they tell ya to tell them to forward it to a senior gm.

    If I had to guess what's going on I'ld say the item ID got changed when they were doing DoN tradeskills.

    Ground Spawn eyes
    # Jun 12 2007 at 3:02 PM Rating: Decent
    For those of you doing the seventh vision, the 3 ground spawns for the eyes, IE

    Nobles' Causeway - Stone of Eternal Power: Southwest Eye
    Muramite Proving Grounds - Stone of Eternal Power: Southeast Eye
    The Bloodfields - Stone of Eternal Power: Northwest Eye

    You may not find them there right away. I only had to wait about 10 minutes for the one in MPG to spawn. The one in bloodfields took 2.5 hours! I had checked the one in bone crackers before the bloodfields and it was not there. After bloodfields had spawned I went back to NC and the spawn was there.

    These coords given are correct. I dont know if they are spawning somewhere else (ie like the pages and cover from vision one) the times there are not there.

    Be prepared for a long wait.

    LMAO - 801 days for a response - you must work for SOE to be this quick to respond. It use to be that you just hailed the guy in Bloodfields to get the fight activated again. At least it was fixed to be this way shortly after the first posting. If it is bugged again - well who knows why but ParadiseLost was correct at the time of his post 801 days ago.

    Might have been a fluke when I did it but when I popped Krekk for the final fight I died when I popped him.... My fault for 1. being a twink and 2. not having furious up. Anyway group killed him and while being rezzed Krekk's body with my sword rotted. I sent a petetion and got my 3 turn in peices back to re-attempt the fight.. My advice is don't die to Krekk.
