You say, 'I will take the test of power.'

I know that I did the turn in this morning on one necromancer, then went back 5 hours later and he was up again for the second necromancer. Not sure of exact respawn timer though.

Upon returning the tome to Drakis Bloodcaster to spawn Jzil:-

Drakis Bloodcaster says 'Farewell.'
Jzil G`Six says 'Walk the path of blood and feel thy power.'
You say, 'Hail Jzil G`six'
Jzil G`Six says 'Ah, so you have come to be tested. Many fine things can be your reward. There are three tests I can administer. Will you take the test of flight, power, or mind? I also am in search of an item you might have gotten from me and are willing to trade back.'
You say, 'Test of power'
Jzil G`Six says 'The test of power it is. Prove yourself worth of power and bring me a silver disc, spiroc feathers, and a black silk cape. Only then will you know true power.'

Upon handing him the disc, feathers and cloak:-

Jzil G`Six says 'This feathered cape should be more than enough payment, now be gone from my sight!'
You make a rude jesture at Jzil G`Six.

On our raid, we had no capes drop on the first time we killed. We killed again and had 2 drop. The other necro on board and i were rather pleased.
Ugh. necro epic...

I lead a raid here. No feather dropped off any mob on 3rd island.. so great.. gonnna have to do this again...

we spent 3 hours in posky. no keeper of souls spawned either.

This epic is really annoying. No wonder why most necro's don't do it.
Necro Epic drops
# Jan 30 2004 at 8:26 AM Rating: Decent
Here is how you get the items from PoSky for the Necro Epic, based on my own experiences...
Once your raid force is assembled and ready, kill all the Faeries on the first isle. I believe they will assist each other, so fight them at their respective spots and do not run them around. They aren't too hard. Ensure that everyone loots one Lost Rabbit's Foot and one Miniature Sword. When you have killed all the Faeries, you must kill the Thunder Spirit Princess. Killing her spawns Sirran the Lunatic, a Halfling. DO NOT speak to him as I think this causes him to agro. He will also assist if you are fighting too close to him, and hits for over 1000 (even over 2000 I think), so you DO NOT want to get his attention in this way! He will despawn after (I think) 20 mins. Have everyone give him their rabbit's foot and mini sword to receive the Key of the Misplaced and Key of Swords. Then go to the correct portal thingy (I think it is the northernmost one on the isle), and have the Key of the Misplaced on your cursor. Also ensure you are INVIS. Click the key on the port pad and you appear on the Azeracks' isle. They agro but do not see through invis. The Azeracks drop a number of discs (gold, platinum, etc) including the Silver Disc. This weighs 10 and is the first of the Necro Epic drops. It is fairly common - we raided PoSky twice, the first time wiping on the Azeracks' isle however (well, everyone except me since I FDd before I got agro and then jumped off muahahahaha). I got my Silver Disc on the first raid. I didn't notice any drop on the second but I may have missed it. Suffice to say, if you can handle the Azeracks (and you can get adds so be careful), this shouldn't be a problem.
Have everyone loot a Broken Mirror. There is one Azerack that is static. When you kill him, the Protector of Sky spawns. Killing him spawns Sirran. hand in your Broken Mirror for the Key of Misfortune, and use it to port across to the next isle - Gorgalosk isle. You do not need invis.
When we did this one, the Spiroc Feathers dropped off a Watchful Guardian (Evil Eye thingy). No idea why a giant eyeball would be carrying around a feather but there you go :). The feather has the same graphic as a Cockatrice Feather - kind of pink/purple. I must admit I can't remember off the top of my head what the item is that you need to loot from here, but when you kill Gorgalosk, Sirran spawns, and the key you get is the Key of Beasts.
I think the mobs on the next isle (known as Pegasus Isle) agro, but I honestly can't remember. You must make sure you pull singles. When you kill a mob, two more will spwan on its corpse. Unless you have a pretty substantial raid force, you will need to Mez one of these. Kill the other, and yet another mob will spawn on its corpse. Then you can kill the Mezzed mob, followed by the one that spawns on its corpse. This happens with both the horsies and the Griffins, but I'm pretty sure the nameds don't do this. When we did this, we then went across the island to the windmill and killed the Overseer of Air (efreeti thingy) and Gale Caller (horsey). The Keeper of Souls spawns at some point (not sure what spawned him) over by the entry spot of the island. We killed him without much trouble (just get someone willing to take that first DT), and he dropped the Black Silk Cape, along with several other items which were class-specific and which didn't have particularly good stats, so I presume they are for quests for other classes. But I was very happy to get my cape :D. However I still need to to PoHate and PoFear, arrgh.
Hope this info is useful anyway :).

Killed him 3 times and people are getting annoyed cos he didnt drop cape all the time. I guess this is where necros want to quit their epic, lol.
Black Silk Cape Drop
# May 05 2003 at 2:23 PM Rating: Decent
Our guild took out Keeper of Souls on the way to the Sprioc Island for warrior epic. Took him down on the first try with 19 people with an average level of 55. He dropped 2 Capes with one kill, so the drop rate seems to have improved since it's introduction. =O)

We cleared the island of all but 1 wandering mob since they would assist if they wandered close enough. We had a monk pull all the wandering mobs but 1 by jumping off the island back down to the previous island (he has max safe fall skill). This gave us a lot more room to work with when we ported up and took out KoS.

Went to PoS the other night. SPiroc Feathers did NOT drop on the isle. Went to Horsey Isle, keeled KoS and 2 capes dropped. I got one for my epic and guildee grabbed another for MQ. He hurts when he hits.... Dropped 2 capes some Gem, and a rogue only No drop belt with haste on it.

RE: Epic Pieces

It drops in the Plane of Sky (PoS), but if you are in the zone, the tag after your name on a /who all [your name] says "Airplane." This has led people to also call it PoA as if it were the Plane of Air. Soooo...in a way, you are both correct.

I did this quest a few days ago and here's what I've found out as far as the dropped pieces are concerned:

1.) Silver disk drops off island 3. Any mob on the island can have it and it's a common drop. Just a side note, make sure you have a weight reduction bag or a good amount of strength because these disc weights about 10 stones.

2.) Spiroc feather drops off island 4. They usually drop off of gorgalask's and spiritd harpies and it is an uncommon drop. Again, I hope you have a weight reduction bag or a good strength because the feathers weight about 5 stones.

3.) Finally, the black silk cape drops on island 5 (the pegesis and griffon island). To get the cape, you need to kill The Keeper of Souls. It's a level 60 Pegesis that can DT's every 30 seconds...nasty. As for the rarity of the drop, I've heard different stories. Some say that its a rare drop while others say that it's a guaranteed drop. Well, I can pretty much rule that it is not a guaranteed drop because it only dropped the cape once out of the 2 trips we made. But there are confirmed reports that the boss mob can drop 2 cape at one time.

Well, hope this helps.

Great write up.
I ended up getting my Spiroc Feather off of the Evil Eye looking things in the 4th island. My guildies then had one drop off the Gorgalask's so they might have made the drops more common or less rare, however you wanna look at it.
I do know that they have either increased the number of drops on the robe. 2nd guild raid up to the Keeper of SOuls and there were a total of 3 robes that dropped. I recieved one and the guild is banking two for others to MQ in the future.

Silver Disk vs Silver Disc

We had numerous silver discs drop in PoA the other night and several of our guild are saying those are for the enchanter quests not this one. That a silver disK is required for this. I do not want to lose my feather and cape if I have the wrong disk. Can anyone help please?

There are many quests in POA and many of the components are used for more than one class. The silver disk is used for the Necro Test of Power. The result of that quest is then used for the necro epic item Sythe of Shadowed Souls.

This disk is also used for the Enchanter Test of Metamorphism - Lelulean says: Metamorphism it is. Proceed upward through the sky and return to me a Silver Disk, a Bluish Stone, and a Light Cloth Mantle. This will prove your abilities to me and I will reward you with the Wind Walker's Mantle(AC: +6 Str: +5 Agi: +2 Dex: +5 Cha: +10 HP: +50).

While this is a nice item for chanters, the silver disk is an epic item component for necros and should go to them first. Fortunately, the disks are faily common drops (we got 2 silver disks on one clearing).

We killed KoS 2 times (80 min random repop) and he dropped lots of goodies, but didnt drop the Cape. We are trying him again tomorrow evening- hopefully 3 is a charm.
