Anniversary events tend to run from mid-March to mid-April (sometimes to mid-May) each year. They are not available during the "off season".

For an overview and list of EverQuest Anniversary events, see this quest entry.



This is an anniversary quest available only during anniversary season (a few weeks during March and April). It was introduced in 2009 as part of EverQuest's 10th anniversary.

This is one of 16 deity quests. For an overview of how rewards work and how these quests are linked with one another, see this writeup.

Below here are the details for this particular quest.



This task begins with an evil little imp in Innothule Swamp. The imp was found in the general area of -768, -271 and -568, -290. He does wander and is tiny. He's frequently inside an alligator or something, so he's a little harder to spot than most of the other quest givers.

You say, 'Hail, an evil little imp'

an evil little imp says 'Eeeheehee! You know my [master], yes?'

You say, 'I know your master'

an evil little imp says 'My master is Innoruuk, Lord of Hate! He wants me to spread the word of his hatred to [all]!'

You say, 'All?'

an evil little imp says 'To every living being, every boy and girl! All are hated! There are some who do not know this, blearg! You must [tell them]!

You say, 'I'll tell them'

an evil little imp says 'Eeheehee!'

You have been assigned the task 'The Power of Hatred – Innoruuk's Favor'

Receive Innoruuk's Needle of Hatred.. (Note! It is no-rent, so if you log, you'll have to get the quest again from the imp!)



Bring hatred to two young humans in love 0/1 (North Karana)

The Lord of Hate, Innoruuk, has charged you with a mission to extend his influence throughout the various lands of Norrath.

Two young farmers have fallen so madly in love that they have caught the Hatelord's eye. Use this artifact to influence them and end their disgusting relationship. They regularly meet in the northern Plains of Karana, near the wooden bridge.

They are named Lauren and Tyler (map), and they are found just south of the bridge to East Karana at -325, -2710, -53.

Target Lauren and right-click the needle.

Tyler says 'I love you even more than a summer's day, Woobiepumpkin!'

Lauren says 'I love you even more than a beautiful ballad, Nummypudding!'

Tyler says 'I love you even more than a summer's day, Sweetiebiscuit!'

Lauren says 'I love you more than... your farm!'

Tyler says 'My... farm? I couldn't ever leave my farm! You're always so controlling! I hate that! I can't stand you!'

Lauren says 'You love that farm more than me? I hate your stupid farm, and I hate you, too! I'm leaving and I'm never coming back!'

Your task 'The Power of Hatred - Innoruuk's Favor' has been updated.

The needle, despite having only one charge to begin with, seems to have a charge again after you use it the first time.



Bring hatred to a dwarf who is simply too happy 0/1 (Ocean of Tears)

Innoruuk hates all equally, of course, but some mortals' blind happiness causes him special loathing. You will find such a person along the route from the Butcherblock Mountains to Freeport.

The dwarf you're looking for is Rondor Sandskipper on the southwest island at loc -1669, 7529 on the beach. He's way too happy about fishing.

You say, 'Hail, Rondor Sandskipper'

Rondor Sandskipper says 'Hello, friend! Everyone is a friend if you're friendly first, that's what I always say.'

Click the needle.

Rondor Sandskipper says 'Spiders! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'

Click again.

Out in the water, you notice a rather large dorsal fin breaking the surface...

Rondor Sandskipper says 'Wow, feels like I've got a real live one on the hook now, hey!'

Rondor Sandskipper says 'Yeeeeeeeeeow!'

(He gets dragged off by a giant shark.)

Click again.

The sound of snapping pal fronds draws your attention skywards!

Rondor Sandskipper says 'Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!'

(He falls down.)

Click again.

Rondor Sandskipper says 'It's raining, tut tut... but why just on me?'

(It rains only on him.)

You may get repeats, but eventually he'll say:

Rondor Sandskipper says 'That is IT! I hate fishing, I hate this island, I hate trees, I hate sun, I hate rain, I hate the sea, and I hate having blasted free time! I'm getting off this rock and going back to the caves RIGHT NOW!

Your task 'The Power of Hatred – Innoruuk's Favor' has been updated.



Stoke the fires of hatred and drive off the usurpers 0/1 (Lake Rathetear)

An ancient flame burns for Innoruuk's glory on a platform in the center of Lake Rathetear. Some birds appear to have taken residence there – show them that they are not welcome.

Easiest way to do this one is go to the Arena and zone into Lake Rathe from there. Aim for the lake...you should be able to see the huge green flame from the shore. There are three an aviak guard around it.

Target the flame, click the needle.

Innoruuks Flame begins to glow and pulse mancingly.

Innoruuks Flame emits a burst of energy, knocking the unbelievers into the sky!

an enraged aviak guard says 'Awk!'

Then an enraged aviak guard spawns. It seems to be scaled based on level since an 85 told me it was dblue to him, and mine was dblue to me at 75. He will have your name in parenthesis below his, I'm guessing so people can tell them apart if more than one person has one at a time.

an enraged aviak guard's corpse says 'Awk? Aaaack!'
You have slain an enraged aviak guard!
You gain party experience!!

Your task 'The Power of Hatred – Innoruuk's Favor' has been updated.



Bring the news of your success to Innoruuk's servant 0/1 (Innothule Swamp)

Bring glory to Father Innoruuk through the power of hatred!

Return to the evil little imp.

You say, 'Hail, an evil little imp'

Innoruuk's voice booms in your head: 'Excellent work. You have extended my influence over the people of Norrath and brought my name to more minds. The power of hatred courses through you!



Reward:
Celebratory Firework Caster (if this is your first diety task)
Fireworks Focus of Innoruuk
Platinum (scales by level)

Update -- the shark that appears in the Ocean of Tears (light blue con at 105) is called "a gigantic shark" -- it poofs after the short sequence.

Might as well bring as many people in your group as you can for this task. Only one person needs to click the needle. I was boxing this and figured i would have to wait for respawns while i slowly did this for one character at a time but everyone in the group got the update at once. Be warned though at the point where the aviak guy spawns and attacks it will spawn every one of them at once. They are easy to kill though. Max hit on a lvl 89 wizard with no defensive type aa and less then 3k ac buffed was 649 dmg. They also had a very low amount of hp.

If you have Tyler targetted instead of Lauren, you get different dialogue (and funnier imo!):

Tyler says, 'I love you more than... your mother!'
Lauren says, 'My mother? What's wrong with my mother? You know, she was right about you... you don't really care about me! I hate you!'
Tyler says, 'Well... I hate her, and I hate you too! I never want to see you again!'

Different end for the fishing dwarf

So today I watched the dwarf fisherman get dragged off by a giant shark and get knocked over by falling palm fronds. But rather than having it rain on him, he suddenly got attacked by a pile of little yellow and black spiders.

Rondor Sandskipper says, "Spiders! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

He runs off, and when he didn't come back, I got the task update. I don't know if he said something after he ran away, but it was out of my range to see it if he did.

Was not able to get this mission today. I had a task timer from a completion of Erollisi marr's favor. So, you cannot get one if the other one is on lock out. Not sure if you can have both missions at the same time or not. Will need to experiment.

Yes, you can do more than one at a time. I was working on Tunare's Favor when I picked up Innoruuk's.
The size of the imp that you're looking for...

it is about the size of the rodents in the home towns for the exterminators etc. He is really hard to see so be mindful of looking for him.

/locs for the task steps too: (sorry just c/p'ing from my post)

1. Bring hatred to two young humans in love -- North Karana (/loc -315, -2686.. just south of the EK bridge on the shoreline)
....What to do: click your needle while the lovers, Tyler and Lauren, are professing their love for one another, and watch the hatred fly.

2. Bring hatred to a dwarf who is simply too happy -- Ocean of Tears (/loc -1667, +7527, SW-most island that you stop at if you take the Freeport boat)
....What to do: click your needle with the dwarf, Rondor Sandskipper, targetted. You will have to click a few times (or so) before he decides that he really, really hates fishing now.

3. Stoke the fires of hatred and drive off the usurpers -- Lake Rathetear (/loc 2485, 994, where the three-spawn aviaks are around a green fire)
....What to do: target the green fire, which is labelled Innoruuks Flame, and click your needle. After a brief time, an enraged aviak (should always be a dark blue con) will appear and attack you.

The Power of Hate - Innoruuk's Favor

From An Evil Little Imp in Innothule Swamp (roams about, hang near PoK book and he will come by).

The story line and NPC's in this quest are actually quite funny!

Have room for a clicky item (Innoruk's Needle of Hatred). This item says it only has one charge, but it actually works more than once.

1) Use Innoruk's Needle of Hatred on Lauren (N. Karana) (south of the wooden bridge along the water) (Don't worry about Tyler)
2) Use Innoruk's Needle of Hatred on Rondor Sandskipper repeatedly, until you get the task update (Ocean of Tears) (southwest island, on the beach, fishing) (this one is actually a bit funny, so read the text and watch the events) (don't fret about the red-con Giant Shark, it's just a comedic scene for the event)
3) Use Innoruk's Needle of Hatred on Innoruk's Flame, and then kill the An Enraged Aviak Guard (dark blue con) that spawns
4) Hail An Evil Little Imp (Innothule)

They were just south of the wooden bridge, and I won't even repeat the disgustingly gooey things they were saying to each other...let's just say they NEED some hate in their lives!)

I targeted Lauren and right clicked the needle...It took a couple of seconds for it to take effect.

Lauren says 'I love you more than... your farm!'
Tyler says 'My... farm? I couldn't ever leave my farm! You're always so controlling! I hate that! I can't stand you!'
Lauren says 'You love that farm more than me? I hate your stupid farm, and I hate you, too! I'm leaving and I'm never coming back!'

The Innoruuk's Needle of Hatred (clicky) quest item is no longer Temporary. I logged off last night during 8hr maintenance after deleting the tasks and did not delete the clicky thinking it would poof. When I logged on and grabbed the task again from the evil little imp I realized the clicky was still in my inventory. When I checked it, the Temporary tag had been removed.
