This task begins with Watchman Stormwren Undaru at the centaur lake in eastern Goru'kar Mesa.

You say, 'Hail, Watchman Stormwren Undaru'

Watchman Stormwren Undaru says 'We have lived here for ages, working together. We thrive on building an unyielding trust between each other that goes beyond the companionship found around the world of Norrath. If you would like to gain trust with our kind, you can begin by completing small [tasks] for us.'

You say, 'What tasks?'

You have been assigned the task 'Rites of Passage I'.

Watchman Stormwren Undaru says 'The alliance of the Centaur is assuredly worth your while. I need you to travel to the Roost and fetch a rare egg found around the outskirts of the chasm. You will know you have found the egg when you see it. The brilliant color and radiance is a sure giveaway.'

Enter the Roost - Blackfeather Roost

The task updates as you move from the zone-in area onto the grass

Find the location of the griffons Stormwren referred to - Blackfeather Roost

The griffons can be found on the First Ledge (see separate quest for access details), at +3770, -1510, -110. Make sure to get this update before moving on to the next step.

Kill 3 a griffon nest guardian - Blackfeather Roost

Kill 1 a blackfeather nest tender - Blackfeather Roost

Grab the egg while it lays unattended - Blackfeather Roost

A Rare Griffin Egg is a large ground spawn next to the nest tender, and appeared for the first time in the patch of 5th December 2006.

Deliver 1 A Rare Griffin Egg to Stormwren Undaru

Your task 'Rites of Passage I' has been updated.

You have done well. The stealth and cunning you have shown is the first step towards proving your alliance to our kind. The next task I have in store for you is one that requires brain as much as brawn.

You gain experience!!

Nest + Egg

Someone posted below that the next + egg is static. It is a ground spawn, facing the tender it should be to the left between the bird and rock outcropping
It was not there when I killed the first round of birds and got the quest update.
It showed up at the 2nd round.
I was able to get the egg on spawn, but I went ahead and cleared all birds (guardians and tenders) to make sure egg spawned.

The respawn on the egg and the npcs around it is approximately 20 minutes so if your boxing this like myself get ready for a long wait. In my case im 4 boxing this and lucky no one else needs the egg either. The egg respawned with the 3 a griffon nest guardian and a blackfeather nest tender. I didn't kill them though and just looted the egg with one of my characters. I waited over 30 minutes for another egg to spawn but it did not. I figured i had to kill those 4 mobs and after i did 20 minutes later the egg spawned with the other npcs. This time i killed them all and looted the egg and only had to wait the 20 minutes for the respawn. Killed the npcs too this time even though i didn't have to so the next person to do the task wouldn't be screwed.

Thanks fuzzard, some good information and advice there.

The quest expects the 4 birds to be cleared, and then loot the egg.
They are non-aggro, until you pick the fight, at which point they are sociable.

I'd seen your reference to 20 minutes, and so had planned that wait, as was there with a small group.

round 1, birds dead and get the egg.
I set a timer for 18 min so to be aware and ready - i.e. can afk a little.

premature pop!
They were back, and still had over 4 mins on the timer.

round 2, cleared the birds and looted the egg.
Similar time period again, repop.

All good, no drama, just watched a bit TV inbetween waits, chat in group, got drinks etc.

At higher 60s, can in the nook by the egg, and not get aggro from passing kos harpy or birds.

20 minutes

Made the mistake of starting to kill the nest guardians as soon as I saw them. Turns out you need to get the update for exploring that area before they count towards completion. Update was only a few steps away. 2- minute wait for respawn gives me time to warn others.

The associated task item is "A Rare Griffin Egg" (Lore, No Trade, Weight 4.0).

It is all ready on the ground, but you can't pick it up until you open up that step.

Update on Egg
# Oct 26 2006 at 5:41 AM Rating: Decent
Checked the missing egg out after 10-25 patch, and got a task update near where the feather groundspawn is. The task said I had looted the egg, with the next step being to return egg to taskgiver. No egg in inventory or cursor.
So I Hail the centaur, and no task update. Just the starting script. Appears to be bugged still.


Edit: ok, on the 27th, started over, and when I killed the egg tender, both objectives i.e. Kill the tender, and get the egg updated ( done ). But no egg anywhere. Returned to taskgiver,with same results as above. Doh!

I sent a bug report the other day re: the missing egg. Hopefully something will come of it.

Alos, the correct task name is Rites of Passage I, not Ritual
I sense a problem here

I've attempted this task twice. First time I killed the required griffons randomly, second I killed them in the order listed on the task. Both times no egg. I suggest anyone who's attempted this task to do a /bug report on it. You'd think that something with "brilliant color and radiance" would be easy to locate...

You'd think the egg would be near the egg tender. Ran all over and can't find it.
