This quest involves collecting the Gem of Stamina and the Gem of Rightousness, then turning them in to a named orc in South Ro. Plan to spend a good few solid hours doing this quest and walking around the continents of Faydwer and Antonica.

Gem of Stamina

1. Go to the Temple of Solusek Ro. Find Lon the Redeemed at +553, -17. Hail him and tell him 'I am a rogue in need of redemption.' He will give you a sealed note to deliver.

You say, 'Hail, Lon the Redeemed' (Works even at dubious)

Lon the Redeemed says 'Welcome, friend. I am one of the redeemed. I once walked the path of evil and woe. My talents were those of the House of V'ree of Neriak. I now serve the Burning Prince. Are you a [rogue in need of redemption] also?'

You say, 'I am a rogue in need of redemption.'

Lon the Redeemed says 'Then, so be it. Ro commands you to aid the saved one, Ortallius of the hot sands. He is in need of two gems, the Gem of Stamina, also known as the Gem of Passion, and the Gem of Righteousness. I once owned these gems in my former life. They rest with my old friend, [Conium Darkblade]. Take this note to him and he shall give you the gems which you will then take to Ortallius. Be off.'

You say, 'Who is Conium Darkblade?'

Lon the Redeemed says 'When evil ruled my life, I hid in the shadows with a fellow thief. This dwarf's name was Conium Darkblade. He was a genius when it came to poisons. I believe he now taints this world with his evil toxins. No doubt he hides near his homeland.'

2 Make your way to Conium Darkbalde, a dwarf on the center island in Dagnor's Cauldron (location: -235, -829). Hail him if and talk to him a bit if you'd like. Hand him the sealed note from Lon the Redeemed. He will give you a 1H Slash weapon named 'Never Stop Chopping.'

You say, 'Hail, Conium Darkblade'

Conium Darkblade says 'You seek Conium Darkblade, do you? Often I am here. To test my [wasp poison], yes. Fewer aqua gobs there now are. Ha!! A true rogue am I with no leader or guild. Just the wind and shadows and much treasure to be had.'

Conium Darkblade says 'So Lon has sworn allegiance to a temple. What a fool, but he is a skilled fool. My word is my bond and if he asks for the gem, then so be it. Unfortunately I traded it for a much-needed axe. It was in the middle of a dungeon and.. well, that is a long story. If you want to get the gem, take this axe back to the [one who once owned it].'

You say, 'Who is the one who once owned it?'

Conium Darkblade says 'The human who gave me the axe remains nameless. We were separated during the battle. If he ever got out of there with all his gold, I do not know. The only clue I know of is the axe itself. The words 'Top of the World' were once printed on its handle.'

3. This is a two-part step. The first part is to pay a visit to Falyn Farreach (location: +238, +628, +40). He is in High Pass Hold, in the back room of 'Top of the World' building in the far left corner of the zone.

You say, 'Hail, Falyn Farreach'

Falyn Farreach says 'Welcome to Top of the World, the newest shop in the pass!'

You say, 'Never stop chopping.'

Falyn Farreach says ''Never stop chopping?!!' Hey! I engraved that on a special order for a fellow Highpass citizen. I can't remember his name. He gave me not only some rare gems for it, but also a case of something called 'Lumberjack Pale Ale.' Great stuff!!'

Now head to a bar named the Lumberjack, located a bit south of the entrance to High Keep. You'll find Brian McGee on the balcony on the second floor (-242, +90), next to an ogre named Beef (heh). Give him the Never Stop Chopping axe, and he'll give you a Bottle Crate, which you'll need to fill with 10 different liquors (detailed in the next step).

You say, 'Hail, Bryan McGee'

Bryan McGee says 'I do not know what you are doing up here, but I am a busy man. Please return to the bar downstairs and enjoy the atmosphere.'

Beef says 'Gets moving before me smash yu to pulp!!'

You say, 'Never stop chopping.'

Bryan McGee says 'Hey!! You must be the one I traded my axe to. Funny.. I thought you were much shorter. If you have my axe I will return your gem to you. Well..? Let's have it!'

Hand him the axe.

Bryan McGee says 'On second thought.. You can do a little favor for me first. An associate of mine has asked me to acquire a case of spirits for him. Take this box and seek out what is needed to fill it. Inside you will combine the spirits of Lendel's Grand Lager, Gator Gulp Ale, Blackburrow Swig, Tunare's Finest, Underfoot Triple Bock, Frozen Toe Rum, Blood Spirit, Vasty Deep Ale, Clockwork Oil Stout and the legendary..[Oblong Bottle].'

Your faction standing with Carson McCabe got better. (1)
Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards got better. (1)
Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia got better. (1)
You gain experience!!

Beef says 'BWAHAHA HA!! Yoo werk fer Mister Axe now. Hehehe!!'

You say, 'What is an Oblong Bottle?'

Bryan McGee says 'The oblong bottle is a legend. They say one drink and you're off to oblivion, but just before that you feel the best you've ever felt and relive all your finest memories in the blink of an eye. The last I heard, some guy by the name of Turgin Swillfod turned up in Freeport spouting that he had found it. He was never heard from again.'

4. You may want to have an enduring breath item ready for this step, as it will involve some swimming underwater. The following drinks are needed:

Purchase:
Tunare's Finest - Wela Muselender, Felwithe, +100, -343
Underfoot Triple Bock - Tumpy Irontoe, South Kaladim (Irontoe's Eats), +178, +317
Lendel's Grand Lager - Mac Deeppockets, Rivervale (Fool's Gold), -60, -190
Gator Gulp Ale - Bubar, Commonlands (tunnel), -1591, -2696
Frozen Toe Rum - Scon McDaniel, Halas (McDaniel's Smokes & Spirits), +340, -348
Vasty Deep Ale - Cleonae Kalen, Ocean of Tears (Sister Island), +501, -9250

Find:
The Oblong Bottle - ground spawn, Ocean of Tears, now found in ruin on top of hill/mountain on Seafury Cyclops Island, inside a small stone ruin, +2325, -2855

Loot:
Clockwork Oil Stout - pickpocket this from a CWG Model CX (gnome robot) in Solusek's Eye (aka Sol A).
Blood Spirit - dropped from 'a hemo enologist,' a female Teir'Dal in Castle Mistmoore at location -63, +164.

a hemo enologist says 'Do not underestimate the might of Mistmoore!'
(slap slap slap)
You have slain a hemo enologist!

Your faction standing with Mayong Mistmoore got worse.
Your faction standing with King Tearis Thex got better.
Your faction standing with Agents of Mistmoore got worse.
Your faction standing with League of Antonican Bards got better.
Your faction standing with Ring of Scale got better.

Create:
Blackburrow Swig - This is a no-fail brewing combine made in the Blackburrow Cask (a looted item from Blackburrow). I highly recommend that you first check the Bazaar on your server to see if some of these components are available.

gnoll pup scalp x 2
blackburrow gnoll skin x 4
Ol' Tujim's Fierce Brew x 2 - brewed in a brew barrel, trivial at 135: cask, barley, malt, yeast, hops (all purchased in PoK from Sirekoth Eshe).

Combine all the drinks in the Bottle Crate to create a Case of Spirits.

5. Turn the Case of Spirits in to Bryan McGee to receive the Gem of Stamina.

Bryan McGee says 'I cannot believe you actually acquired all those drinks!! You do good work, kid. Here is the gem as I promised. And a few plat for good measure. Don't let it be said that the Axe doesn't treat his friends right.'

You gain experience!
You gain experience!
You receive 8 platinum from Bryan McGee.

Gem of Righteousness

1. Go to the slums of East Freeport and enter a building called Hallar's Resale. The Gem Case is a ground spawn on the first floor, and looks like a little bag or it can be found on the Second floor in the room with the beds. It is not a container, however, so it may be placed in a backpack.

2. Travel to the western Commonlands and seek out Noresa Sparkle, and be sure to bring approximately 550 PP with you. She is located in a hut near Befallen (approximately -705, +258). Target and hail her.

You say, 'Hail, Noresa Sparkle'

Noresa Sparkle says, 'He.. Hello. Wou.. would you like to buy something? Be quick or [Kizdean] will return!'

You say, 'Who is Kizdean?'

Noresa Sparkle says, '(whispering)..'Sshhh..Please..save me. Get..rid..of..him.''

While you're there, purchase a single sparking sapphire from her. You'll need it a bit later for another part of the quest, and can be a bit costly (510-540 PP or so, depending on charisma).

Find Kizdean Gix and kill him. Though he can wander the zone, he's typically found not far from the Freeport Militia guard hut near the border with Commonlands (approximately -175, +260). Kill him and loot 'A Sealed Note.' It tells you the location of your next victim.

You say, 'Hail, Kizdean Gix'

Kizdean Gix says 'If you have business then out with it!! If not, then please be gone. I have little time to waste on chitchat!'

Kizdean Gix says 'I shall show you the pure fury of the Dead!!'

You have slain Kizdean Gix!
Your faction standing with The Dead got worse.
Your faction standing with Queen Cristanos Thex got worse.
Your faction standing with King Naythox Thex got better.
Your faction standing with Keepers of the Art got better.
Your faction standing with Eldritch Collective got better.
Your faction standing with Primordial Malice got better.
Kizdean Gix's corpse says 'Soon you shall learn the extent of the Dead's power. Vengeance shall be theirs.'

3. Visit Toxdil, a Teir'Dal poison vendor in East Freeport, at the far back room in the walls of the Arena, /loc +905, -415.

You say, 'Hail, Toxdil'

Toxdil says 'Correct, Toxdil is my name. No last name. I swear allegiance to no house nor guild. What brings you down here? Perhaps you seek my [deadly liquid], perhaps not. Whatever your reasons, I warn you to keep an eye out for the militia. They have begun to patrol the sewers.'

You say, 'I seek the gem of righteousness.'

Toxdil says 'That gem is worthless!! If you want it, you can have it. Oh, but I forgot! I sold it to some gem merchant. I can't seem to remember her name, but she paid highly for it. Ha!! Imagine that. Worthless hunk of crystal. Do not bother looking for it.'

Give him the sapphire that you purchased from Noresa.

Toxdil says 'The gem!! I would notice its sparkle anywhere!! I cannot believe you are handing it back to me!! What a fool. Here you are, fool. You can have this worthless key now.'

You receive A Tiny Key (identifies as "Gem Case Key 2").

4. Go to Solusek's Eye (aka Sol A) by means most convenient to you. I would advise sneak/hiding around to avoid having the goblins pile on you. Search out and destroy Lynada the Exiled at location -999, -654, a Teir'Dal magician. She is of a relatively low level, so her spells are easily resistible. Loot a sparkle purse. Her faction is with the goblins here, on the Goblins of Fire Peak and Tribe Vrodak.

5. Hobble back to Noresa in Commonlands. Give her the sparkle purse, and she'll give you A Tiny Key (identifies as "Gem Case Key 1").

Noresa Sparkle says 'Oh!!! Thank you. You are my hero. I have been held captive by that horrid dark elf for weeks. Please take this. It was the key to a [gem case] which was stolen from me by an unseen rogue. If you find the gem case you can take it and the key to the original craftsman. He can open it with only two keys.'
You gain experience!!

6. Head to the tunnel of Commonlands (near the LDoN NPCs). Visit a human by the name of Bubar (/loc?).

You say, 'Hail, Bubar'

Bubar says 'Greetings, friend! I am Bubar, merchant from the burning sands. You must be thirsty or, perhaps, hungry. Please look over my goods.'

You say, 'What gem case?'

Bubar says 'Talking of containers? I do not make containers any longer. Provisions are much more profitable. Do you have one of my containers? Most likely you have locked yourself out then. My specialty was the three-lock case. They always lose one of the keys. Hand me the case and at least two of the keys and I can open it for you.'

Give him both tiny keys and the gem case.

Bubar says 'I need at least two of the case keys and the gem case.'
Bubar says 'I need at least two of the case keys and the gem case.'
Bubar says 'Mmmph!!.. *Pop!!* Ouch, my thumb!! Here you are. You had a gem inside.'
You gain experience!

You receive Sparkling Sapphire (identifies as "Gem Of Righteousness").

Now that you have both the Gem of Stamina and the Gem of Rightousness, you'll need to turn them in to Ortallius.He's found in South Desert of Ro (South Ro) in the southern section along the west wall , at location +1266, -325. Once you turn in both gems, he'll give you the Burning Rapier.


You say, 'Hail, Ortallius'

Ortallius says 'Welcome to the lands of Ro. Stand and fight with me. We shall fight to reclaim the desert in the name of Solusek Ro. Death to all [dervish cutthroats]!!'

Ortallius says 'I was instructed to wait for two gems.'

Ortallius says 'You serve the Burning Prince as I do. The Redeemed has instructed me to give you this reward upon completion of your test. Practice your arts and prepare yourself. Evil approaches our realm. Long live Ro!!'
Your faction standing with Temple of Solusek Ro has been adjusted by 25.
Your faction standing with Shadowed Men has been adjusted by -1.
You gain experience!!
You receive 4 platinum from Ortallius.

Is the BB Swig No Drop ?

Nope, and be very careful about drinking it! It looks exactly like a cask of Ol' Tujim's Fiercer brew.
Gem box?
# Aug 17 2000 at 10:25 AM Rating: Decent
I went to the ghetto in East Freeport only to find that the locked door has disappeared. The whole door is gone, leaving just a way to get into the building. Also, there is nothing behind the door, and I looked all throughout the building. I wandered close to the shadowknight guild and was almost killed by their guildmaster. Does anyone know where thegembox or locked door has gone?
RE: Gem box?
# Aug 17 2000 at 9:08 PM Rating: Decent
Wrong building. the locked door you're looking for is inside a building called 'so and so's imports' or something like that. it's the first building you see as you enter the ghetto.

I started this quest at 19 in Blackburrow and finished at 27. I would have finished sooner had I know that I could sneak all the way to the hemoenologist, the clockwork CX, and Lynada in perfect safety (taking the fastest route on the maps). I happened to get lucky and got both of those drinks and the sparkle purse in just one day! Just go and ask people if they wouldn't mind if you loot those items, and they will usually let you.

Also, the gems are no drop :(

I found that I could not sneak past the Vampiric Ancillae in MM to loot the Blood spirits. I was slain twice by them. I was lvl 24 at the time. Best advice is ask some friends with big toons to clear a path for ya.

Just a quick question....

Are the gems no drop? Cause I wanna know if I can do this quest with my other char and then just transfer over the gems and give it to my rogue...

-Thanks

Man, this Quest rocks! I started this quiest around level 24 or so and I'm 27 now. I took a break in the middle because it was hard. I think the hardest part is getting the ingredients for the blackburrow stout... But the experience you get from this quest is awesome! Today, the last day I worked on the quest, I handed in the sparkle purse for a little over half a bubble of exp...I handed in both the keys and case to Bubar for another half...and I turned in the Gems to the guy in South Ro for ANOTHER half! It was sweet! I gained a bubble and a half.

The most BORING part of this quest (unless you cheat) is getting your pick lock skill up to 123. GUAH!!!

Another thing: When you hand the sparkling sapphire to Toxdil and he gives you another key, then you go to Bubar and you have him open the box--DO NOT BE ALARMED when you get a sparkling sapphire out of the box. That's the Gem of Righteousness. I was really freaked out because I thought I had done something wrong, but then I had a caster identify it for me (I held it on my cursor while he cast the spell on me) and it said it was the Gem of Righteousness. :) Have fun all!
Stupid cask!
# Aug 05 2000 at 4:43 AM Rating: Decent
Grrrr! tonight a fellow guild member had a bb cask for me. I forgot all my slots were full of backpaks due to pottery mastering. Anyway, I accept the trade and the cask fell to the floor. Now, i'm not quite sure what happend next. I clicked on the <dropped> cask and it poofed on me. There was 1 other person in the bank, but I was so furious I didn't bother to ask if he lotoed. So, word of warning... DONT DROP THE BB CASK!

According to The Safehouse, you need skins (not pelts) and the proc goes off at 30.
Gnoll skin/pelt
# Aug 04 2000 at 2:51 AM Rating: Decent
ok im just not get this..are the gnoll pelts u get from the commanders and elite gaurds the right gnoll "skins" to use.
RE: Gnoll skin/pelt
# Aug 24 2000 at 1:00 PM Rating: Default
No they have to say skins. You will get alot of pelts, the skins are very very rare from elites and a little less rare off commanders.

I have just finished the quest. I did it all at level 19, if you dont count that extra 2 1/2 bubbles of experience you get from actually finishing the quest. I got all the ingredients for the box of spirits..went to HH and gave the box to bryan.. you know the deal. I ended up selling my SBD that i was normally using, for 550, to have quick money for the sparkeling saphire. Then i brought that to tox and got the rest of the stuff. walked over to bubar..and kept going straight to Sro. I am now level 20, with a burning rapier. Thank goodness.


BTW, this quest is not as complicated as it looks if you get the small stuff first. The hardest parts are the Bloodspirits (i was lucky and got it within 5 minutes of entering Mistmoore) and the Sparkeling purse (this took like 5 tries for me to get. Watch out for that swinging axe, it will uninvis you if you hit it without the disarm traps skill)

It will not work with 120 pick lock skill. I trained in Befallen get 120. So i return happy to FP but it wont work. It will work with 123.

And i finished the quest 1 hour ago at lev 27. And it was realy hard work so its not only the stats that make this weap good its also the fealing that you earn it. not like some stuff you buy from others. these rapier is my and i am damn proud ))

BTW at what lev does the ignite effect work ? 30 ?
What level to start
# Jul 30 2000 at 9:33 AM Rating: Decent
Ok, for all you upper twenties saying this should be attempted later on in life, i started collecting the booze at level 15. The first 6 are easy to get. Its the 4 others that are harder. It doesnt take a seriously experienced player to get these, just some time and effort. I am level 20 now. I have 6 exotic drinks, the oblong bottle and blackburrow swig. I should be done with the first half of the quest before i hit 21.

So your question "What level do you need to be to complete the quest", Well, if practice your pick locks you only need about a skill of 119+ to get the gem case. so..level 23.

But, if you have friends and are determined, im sure you can get the rapier a lot quicker. You just have to have determination.

I spent 18 hours 35minutes and 29 seconds getting myself the Mask of Deception. Yeah that was hard, but i got it. I have proven to myself that anything can be done, and with hard work, total persistance, and a little planning you can achieve anything.

Good luck friends of the shadow.

LOLOLOL, I got my mask of deception when I was lvl 5 so I know what you mean about being able to do anything, and it only took 1 half an hour. Secondly most of the other things that are no drop can be looted while someone else kills them even if they are not a friend... reason is that they are no drop and the sword is no drop so what is anyeone else going to do with them as for the lock... that's the only thing that keeps you from doing the quest solo untill you can pick the lock. :) I recomend a high pickpocket as well, running round with a sow and nimble fingers works quite well when snafusking those little trinkets. lolol

A level 16 player asked me to open the door for him in Freeport so he could get the gem case. I couldn't at the time, so he had someone else do it, and shortly thereafter completed the quest. I'm sure he had a lot of help. :)

My level 41 rogue is just now trying to finish the quest.. for the prestige, and possibly the epic quest down the road

SBD would be better in your main hand then the BR. As a rogue you always want your highest damage piercer in your main hand as it directly effects backstab damage. Use the SBD and offhand the BR.
RE:Zakalanor
# Nov 26 2000 at 4:31 AM Rating: Default
Um... that's kinda flawed logic. Sorta like saying you should use a big 2H weapon instead of a 1H because of the damage.

If you use the BR, you attack faster, and you also backstab faster. I prefer it in my main hand because my int is low and the high speed helps max out my skills faster.
RE:Zakalanor
# Dec 19 2000 at 12:45 PM Rating: Default
Faster backstab? Not quite. Backstab goes off a timer, it is a skill in itself, completely unrelated to the weapon skill (or the weapon dam/del ratio for that matter) other than if it hits or not. I agree about the higher damage being better in main hand for BS. I have a set-up to change weapons once BS is done very quickly. Takes around 1 sec to do if not less.

There is a mistake regarding Toxdil
# Jul 28 2000 at 6:40 PM Rating: Decent
Toxdil does not spawn only at night,
infact he is usually up because no one camps him. During the day he wanders the sewers on West Freeport (may not be sewers but that is what i call them) The enterance to the sewers is hidden.
If you are facing the freeport gate,follow the wall to your left. the wall will angle to the left. The point where the wall is perpendicualr to the zone is the enterance to the sewers. Hes in there during the day and good luck!

I know I posted a few, sorry about that, but just 1 more :) I wanna know, I have a dex of 150, and my SBD procs alot already but I amlvl 10 so it dosent actually help me much. Anyway, I wanted to know if SBD or Tombcarver is better in off hand, with BR in main... Anyone have any clue? And if so, why?
Goooo me!
# Jul 26 2000 at 11:55 PM Rating: Decent
Whoo, did this quest at lvl 10 :) And I died... Exactly 12 times (once on bottom of an ocean, not pretty), but it worth it, with that and my tombcarver I tear **** up. My point is, you dont need to be super high lvl to do this, just REALLY patient, have alotta money, and never give up :)
bout it
# Jul 22 2000 at 1:38 AM Rating: Decent
The cask is a rare drop off the gnoll brewers in BB (it's a 18 min spawn with PH's...the brewer is a random spawn....could be 3 in a row, or 1 in 20). The brews are made by a master brewer. I did this quest at 20 with no problems. just go to MM and SOL A and ask to loot after the kill. I did. AND get a chr buff before the sapphire. I camped the brewer for 32 hours straight, and after 20, i drank my swig....got pissed...

Level / Proc
# Jul 18 2000 at 4:24 PM Rating: Decent
I did this quest at level 27, with some assistance from an elder (56) rogue. I gained close to 2 full bubbles of experience. Most of the quest is hoofing it. To get the Oblong Bottle, buy some Fish Gill Extracts or wear the Fishhook earring, so that you can waterbreathe, otherwise, you run the risk of dying horribly, trust me.

Hardest parts were Lynada the Exiled (SolA) and the hemo entologist (MM), and raising picklock up to 122 for the door in Hallard's Resales. :) Blackburrow stuff is just a long camp, need at least 550pp to buy sparkling sapphire from Noresa.

Proc does not go off at 27, or at 28. I'm thinking it goes off around 30.
level?

Do you ahve to be lev 30 to be able to go on this quest? Just wondering if you had friends help you with it could you do it at a lower level?

Any idea how much damage the proc does, and what level you have to be for it to go off? Also, thanks to all who helped out, this would be nearly impossible without you :-)
Worth It!

Heck ya! Unless of course you have someone twinking you with planar weapons or ultra Kunark weapons like Bone Razors Trakasaur's Teeth. Dam 7, Del 20, with a 37 DD. That's better stats then the EBW, an off-hand rogue favorite.
Is it really worth it?

After reading all this, I have to ask, is this quest worth the prize? I do not see a lot of rogues around with this rapier. Most have daggers and dirks or whatever. I am of my 17th season, and I think I am going to collect as many of the items as I can now and hold them in the bank, but I have to wonder, is it worth it?

I started this quest back before it was fixed the first time. I began collecting items at 17th lvl and finished the quest at 30th. I was 35th when they fixed the stats and proc on rapier.

Yes, it takes a long time. Yes, it is dangerous. But, it is worth it.

I'm 42nd and just starting to approach a stage where I may think of hanging the rapier up.

Even then I still hold out for a FA type next step where we hand in the BR for a better weapon.

Keep the fingers crossed
