The Katana  

LOIO sunken temle of veskar swim to the bottom of tower you will find the bloodgill aqua goblins.

Has anyone even tried to say "What is the Mountain Death Clan" to this guy? I have read and reread teh text above and it seems that that was the only question not asked. I'll try it if I can find him in FV. Antsy parties don't like to stop.

"searing ground" is a reference to burning wood.

He doesn't say he'll give you one, he says maybe you can claim on.

Chardok is reached through BW.

There are Katana's that drop in Chardok.

isn't there a spelunker in Unrest? not sue what connection, if any, that would have but cant think of anything else at the moment...

It's possible the quest is simply broken and people who clain they have one, found thiers on some rare spawn in area where most people won't ever get. I can say too that I have one, can anyone prove they do? :)

Not sure if this is a quest or not. Perhaps its just a hint on where to find a super cool Katana. Inside Veeshan's Peak you can find a Blued Flower Katana which is pretty nice. It's a drop off Silverwing. He says you have to walk accross searing ground (Skyfire mountains I'm assuming) Then taunt death (go into Veeshan's Peak) Veeshan's peak is one of the nastiest zones in Norrath. Here's verrant's official statement about VP.

We recommend that only the most advanced and organized players in the game even attempt to enter this zone. The customer service staff (GMs and Guides) will not assist players in any way in regards to this zone. This includes help for issues such as unrecoverable corpses (see your local Necromancer), or characters finding themselves stuck (see your local Magician), bugs, etc. The only assistance that will be offered by customer service reps in this zone are those covered by the Play Nice Policies.

Anyway, I think this guy is just telling you where to get a super cool katana but I could be wrong. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I spoke to these quest npcs mentioned above and it seamed to me like they where saying as much as an uber adventure that i thought I was, i haddent seen anything yet and was nothing compaired to them and the places they had been, they produced the blade and it seamed like they wanted me to prove myself to them to be able to attain one, or to go and get it myself if i thought I was some kinda fancy kunark explorer and could go anywhere. Meaning that I should go to a place of Fire, heat, or hot sand in Kunark and get one myself. You have to remember of course that these NPCs where ment to talk to high power and amature adventurers who dared enter Kunark when it first opened. This is why they speak of kunark and the zones around it in the way that they do... Also I dont think the death goblins have anything to do with it, These Two NPCs Being Avid and able explorers and adventures themselves act as information sources to learn about the zones and dangers of the land, which is why it's hard to learn the quest info from them. If you believe they hold unseen quest info, put yourself in the role of a player when Kunark just came out and thought you where all big stuff and wanted to go explore it then speak to them with the reactions you would feel, and see if they can give you more info. Asking about taunting Death only produces the random death goblin clan info. I'd have the say you either have to go get some quest items from a hot zone in Kunark and try handing them into the npc's or say you have proven yourself or something along those lines. "I have walked upon the searing ground" ect :) I dont think theres any katana like weapons that come from searing ground zones in kunark that i can think of, does anyone know If theres any quest magic, lore, type items from those hot zones which dont seam to have a quest found out yet? Also what if a notable NPC from those zones drops a weapon or armor, and this is what you have to turn in as proof? I dunno =) It's proably broken like the rest of the EQ quests LOL

Sarnak Knights in burning woods drop a knight sword that when held looks like a Katana it is 7/33 with a couple of other stats..for some shammy quest I think.

Anybody tried the obvious and said "What Spelunker?"

Burning ground could be Burning Wood or Skyfire (blackened rock, lots o' volcanic seeming stuff.)

This one could be fun to try and solve...
