Anniversary Group Task: A Different Perspective
| Quest Started By: | Description: |
| 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 a shared monster mission (1-6 players) introduced with EverQuest's 13th anniversary. It's expected to only be available during anniversary season (mid-March through mid-April). You must have completed all the other tasks prior to being able to request this one (this includes the group mission "Summoning the Master"). It begins with Sam Napth, a Halfling in the Plane of Knowledge at about -215, -90, -155 (next to the Soulbinder). You say, 'Hail, Sam Napth' Sam Napth says 'I've been expecting you. I have great need of adventurers to help me deal with an important issue. There are a lot of tasks that need doing, I'd be grateful if you could help me out. You see, I've been trying to prove to some important people that such things are foolishness. So I've arranged some tests to prove it.' A task window pops up offering several anniversary tasks. You have been assigned the task 'A Different Perspective'. Six Monster Templates: Mayong Mistmoore Maestro of Rancor Lanys T`Vyl Warlord Ykesha Venril Sathir Valdoon Kel`Novar NOTE: Of the characters, Mayong Mistmoore has the most hitpoints; Valdoon Kel`Novar is the most DPS (gets one disc/spell that usually kills outright with a 6-secong recast and another that partially-kills with a 12-second recast; also has an AE mez); Venril Sathir gets a group HP balancer which seems to be the only type of heal available across all characters). Sam Napth asked you to see the Tower of Frozen Shadow through another's eyes in hopes of uncovering the location of the Shard of Fear within. Ascend the tower and reveal its secrets. A certain vampire wants to get his grubby hands upon one of the shards of fear that has landed upon Norrath. Sam knows it landed in the Tower of Frozen Shadow, but doesn't know where exactly. Clearly if this were to fall into the wrong hands, namely not Sam's, it could be disastrous. Sam can send you into the tower when you are ready. You say, 'Ready!' Sam Napth says 'Good luck! See you on the other side! Well I won't see you but, um, nevermind. Good luck!' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered The Tower of Frozen Shadow. a distant voice says 'She took us during the battle. She could feel us dying during our struggle with the heretics. She brought us here, far from home. Do you see why you must go back now? Look at what she has done. They do not see, they think they are home. She feeds her captive souls with knowledge to power her tools of domination. Soon they will be bricks and steel, used for nothing but war.' To progress through, you have to loot keys from each floor. The key droppers are the same as the non-instanced Tower of Frozen Shadow: Crystal Key - a large undead gnoll Three Toothed Key - an angry librarian Frosty Key - an enraged shadow beast Small Rusty Key - Cara Omica Bone Finger Key - an enraged relative Large Metal Key - VhalSera These mobs spawn randomly as you kill mobs on their given floors. You will sometimes have to wait on respawn (which is fast). Discover a way up to the second floor 0/1 (Tower of Frozen Shadow) Retrieve the key to the third floor 0/1 (Tower of Frozen Shadow) Unlock the path to the fourth floor 0/1 (Tower of Frozen Shadow) Discover how to reach the fifth floor 0/1 (Tower of Frozen Shadow) Retrieve the key to unlock the sixth floor 0/1 (Tower of Frozen Shadow) Unlock the way to the seventh floor 0/1 (Tower of Frozen Shadow) Destroy Tserrina and claim the shard of Fear 0/1 (Tower of Frozen Shadow) Return to Sam Napth 0/1 (Tower of Frozen Shadow) Note: This step update is actually in the Plane of Knowledge. The task has no reported lock point. Rewards NOTE: Loot will vary based on your level and class. Rewards Below Level 85 Option #1: 3 AAs Option #2: Group Leadership Experience Option #3: Distillate of Alacrity X Option #4: Distillate of Celestial Healing VIII Option #5: Distillate of Clarity XIII Option #6: Distillate of Divine Healing XIII Option #7: Distillate of Health XIII Option #8: Distillate of Replenishment XIII Option #9: Distillate of Spirituality XIII Rewards at Levels 85+ Option #1: 3 AAs Option #2: Group Leadership Experience Option #3: Crystallized Shadow Band Other Options: Armor useable by your class: ------ Shadowbone Earring ------ Laminated Gnome Skin Mask ------ Frozen Shadow Necklace ------ Frozen Shadow Cloak ------ Crystallized Shadow Mantle ------ Frozen Skull Earring ------ Gnome Skin Cloak If you've completed all 13 previous tasks, you also receive a "Satchel of the Superstitious". | |

They were no pre-reqs for the quest as someone asked prior, It was the first anniversary quest i did from this year, and it's been about 16 hours since i finished it and still not able to choose it again, so i am guessing its NOT repeatable, or maybe 24hr wait time although nothing in /taskt.
We were unable to see this task last night. Is there a requirement to see this or the raid task?
Are these mobs spawned the same way? Kill mobs on their given floor to get them to spawn randomly?
Yes. Sometimes you have to wait for respawn.

Everyone stay together and click up together. Last area with the bats... waited for several repops of bats till Tserrina spawned. Dont click up cause you are impatient. Just wait for her to pop.
I got her to spawn in the spiral staircase form a bat there, in same room with all the torches
A few key points, Mercs are not allowed, you must choose a "character" sorta like in OMM, but only choices is warriors, a bard and a sk you get no spells, just 4 abilities, and not ones for that class, and even though it is an instance zone, the floors seem to repop about every 5mins or so. the keys needed drop from the original key droppers.
~1st step is to find a way to the 2nd floor
~2nd step was to "retrieve the key to the 3rd floor"
~3rd step is "unlock the path to the fourth floor"
~4th step is "discover how to reach the fifth floor"
~5th step is "retrieve the key to unlock the 6th floor"
~6th step is "unlock the way to the 7th floor"
~7th step is " Destroy Tserrina and claim the shard of Fear"
~8th step is " return to Sam Napht" (says in the tower but i zoned out and hailed and completed)
* Task never locked, I TA'ds before killing Tserrina, and never got a lock message after killing her*
the loot that you can claim varies some, my wizzy and necro had some different items than my warrior did.

Also wanted to add that some of the non-visable gear that is available to claim varies, my war had different stuff than my wizzy and both were different than my necro.

What is the quality of the gear in claim? Is it worth the trouble? I thought I read somewhere it was VOA T3 level.

So for level 95's the item rewards are VoA T3 group level non-vis items, some potions, 3aa, or 1leader aa.
While I admit I'm mostly doing this just once, to get the bag for doing this plus all the other tasks, I'm also happy to take Crystallized Shadow Band and use it. I'm currently farming VoA t3 and am happy to take a piece of that level with an aug 3 slot. The other gear was of similar quality, including one class-restricted piece.
Anyone getting a bug with the key droppers/final named not spawning if your have a group member outside of the zone.
I routinely do it with one group member outside the zone and don't have a problem with named spawning, short of Tserinna herself. She seems to take me 3 clears minimum to pop, sometimes she'll pop and show up on my target but I'm unable to find her. Another clear or partial clear and she'd pop at the zone up to 7th floor.
I'd say i've done it 7 times with a character outside the zone over the past 1.5weeks. I did it just 2 days ago no problem.
Most of the other named spawn on first clear, though VhalSera takes me 3-4 clears typically.
