This is the first task in a series of five (the end result being your 68th level spell/tome). It begins with Kelliad in the Stoneroot Falls at location +705, -1830 (northeastern part of the zone).

You say, 'Hail, Kelliad'

Kelliad looks around confused before saying, 'Ilsuras? Is that you?"

Kellaid looks closer at you and says, 'You're not Ilsuras. I thought you might have been him. He was one of our trusty scounts and he has been [gone] awhile now and the longer that he is missing the more worried I get.'

You say, 'Gone?'

Kelliad says, 'I'm not sure that I aan [trust you]. Perhaps in tiem I might be able to trust one such as yourself but you have done nothing to allow me to trust you.'

You say, 'You can trust me'

Kelliad says 'I want you to prove that you are what you appear to be. Outside the city of Xill you will find a great scout that goes by the name of Meldrek. Speak with him and he will show you a way into Xill. When you enter Xill, the wall will be protected by guards. Kill them and bring me back 4 of their hearts. Are you willing to [do this job] for me?'

You say, 'I am willing to do this job'

You have been assigned the task 'A Rogue's Trust'.

You have come across a strange being in Kelliad. He does not trust many of his own kind, let alone strangers. You must complete this task to gain his trust.



Seek out Meldrek and ask him about an alternate entrance into Xill 0/1 (Stoneroot Falls)

Go south along the shore to +210, -1845.

You say, 'Hail, Meldrek'

Meldrek says 'Duck down _____, before you are seen. This area is crawling with drachnids. What can I help you with?'

You say, 'Where is the alternate entrance to Xill?'

Meldrek pauses for a second then turns and says, 'How can I put this, Kelliad has lost touch of reality. I will help you enter Xill but I can't be responsible for you after you enter. Do you [wish to continue] with this adventure?'

You say, 'We wish to continue.'

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Stoneroot Falls: The City of Xill.

You enter an instanced version of Stoneroot Falls. You appear before Meldrek, who will send you out of the zone if you ask him.

Explore the front gates of Xill 0/1 (Stoneroot Falls)

If you have a map, it's pretty obvious where this is: To the south and west (as you would head to The Hive).

Lay waste to twenty-five drachnids 0/25 (Stoneroot Falls)

Simple enough: Kill any 25 drachnids in the zone. They come in several classes (including shaman) and are charmable. Some have an AE called Dark Venom Spray, can proc Puncture and Vile Web, and can hit for up to ~1,200 (average of 600). They are "mostly" slowable.

Tear out four drachnid hearts for proof of their deaths 0/4 (Stoneroot Falls)

You'll come across plenty of these. Keep four of them to update the last step in the task.

Return to Kelliad with the drachnid hearts 0/1 (Stoneroot Falls)

You say, 'Hail, Meldrek'

Meldrek says 'This is as far as I go. When you complete your objective for Kelliad return to me and when you're [ready to go] I will make sure you have a safe return back to Kelliad.'

You say, 'We are ready to go.'

Hand in the four hearts to Kalliad to finish the task. Priest and caster archetypes receive a Pain-Infused Mask. Melee and hybrid archetypes receive a Warped Mask.

You have completed the task for Kelliad. Speak with him to explore the city of Xill further.



Near the gates of Xill at -785, -700 is "a dark mystical chest". This can be opened after you've killed the 25 drachnids and contains one loot item.

Completion of this task leads into the next task in the series, "Scouting the City".

RE: what kinda tank needed
# Oct 24 2005 at 5:04 PM Rating: Decent
This tank is fine. Not sure what our SK had for hp/ac - but didnt seem the mobs hit any harder than mobs in a Creator mission and he tanks that just fine. In fact they probably hit a little less than Creator mobs.

Had 70 SK/Shm/Enc/Monk/Rog/ and 61 Clr with no AAs healing it. Shammy didnt heal. Piece of cake mission imho - all single pulls with a few Placates thrown in.
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 28 2005 at 12:36 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) could even have a little less hp on the tank i would guess my air pet tanks this and creator missions fine w/ just convic it is full dps and dam/mit AA ,but not to hard at all (don foci for the pet) and use frenzyd burnout on the bosses~

If you want to skip this (or are having problems getting in, as he was not giving this text out on Luclin as of 10/13/05), just Hail Meldrek, and say, "I am ready" and he will transport you.

Quest Info
# Sep 21 2005 at 5:39 PM Rating: Decent
Accepted this quest at dubious, having only finished Explore the Depths quest.

1st Task Part- Talk to Meldrek. Say Xill to him, then the entrance phrase.
2nd Task Part- Explore the Front gates of Xill. These are due west, south west of where you zone in. 2 see invis mobs guard it, clear them then step inside to get update.
3rd Task Part- Kill 25 drachnids
4th Task Part- Loot 4 drachnid hearts
5th Task Part- Return to Kelliad with 4 drachnid hearts
Return to Meldrek inside the zone, and use return phrase.

Meldrek is located on the the eastern wall, south of Kellaid, underneath one of the rock pillars.

All the drachnids we fought were called a drachnid. 61-64 range, maybe a little bit lower, and various class types, one harm touched. Pretty fast respawn, 600-700 max hit, and are also charmable. No faction hits when we killed them. They casted several spells/procs, Vile Web which seemed to be similar to necromancer snare, and a spell called puncture, never saw what it did exactly. Also Dark Venom Spray, a AoE DD.

The chest was right outside the main gate, hidden against the wall to north of it. Chest dropped Loose Weave Legs.

Whole thing didn't even take an hour for 5 people.

After turning in the 4 hearts, we all received a mask for our class type. Mine was Pain-Suffused Mask.

Kelliad Located at...
# Sep 20 2005 at 1:32 AM Rating: Decent

Kelliad is located at loc 707, n1830.

Note: This is the first mission in story arc of four to unlock or get your 68 spell/disc.

Happy hunting

Vraa

PS. I vaguely remember getting a caster mask with about +100 mana on it as a reward.
