Ostorm can be found in the east upper hallway in the Temple of Solusek Ro, at +430, -80, +35, through the door behind the throne along the corridor to the right.
Ostorm regards you indifferently -- You could probably win this fight. You say, 'Hail, Ostorm' Ostorm says, 'I am Ostorm of the Temple of Solusek Ro, guardian of the sacred crystal of Kintaz. Be wary and keep your distance, lest the proximity of the crystal [steal] your [memories].' You say, 'Why would anyone make a crystal that steals memories?' Ostorm says, 'It is the nature of the crystal of Kintaz to steal the memories of those around it. Only I am safe, and then only because of the strong wardings placed on me by Solusek Ro himself. Are you interested in [losing] any [memories]?' You say, 'I may be interested in losing memories.' Ostorm says, 'Recently, I have been experimenting with the crystal, and have found that those exposed to ruby light filtered through it may rearrange the memories of their specialized arcane skills. Are you sure you want to [rearrange your memories] of specialization?' You say, 'Yes. I want to rearrange my memories of specialization.' You have received a request timer for 'Crystal of Kintaz Specialization': 0d:0h:1m remaining. You have been assigned the task 'Crystal of Kintaz Specialization'. Ostorm says, 'With proper focus, we can allow you to keep some small part of your memories and transform them. Which skill would you like to specialize in? [Abjuration], [Alteration], [Conjuration], [Divination], or [Evocation]? Note, if you leave me before we have completed this process, you will need to start over.' You say, 'I would like my primary specialization to be Alteration.' Your task 'Crystal of Kintaz Specialization' has been updated. Ostorm says, 'We will preserve your memories of Alteration.' Ostorm says, 'With further focus, we can allow you to keep a bit more of your memories if they are strong enough. Which skill would you like to be your secondary specialization? [Abjuration], [Conjuration], [Divination], or [Evocation]? Note, if you leave me before we have completed this process, you will need to start over.' You say, 'I would like my secondary specialization to be Abjuration.' Your task 'Crystal of Kintaz Specialization' has been updated. Ostorm says, 'You chose Alteration for your primary specialization and Abjuration for your secondary specialization.' Ostorm says, 'What is your third skill choice? Is it [Conjuration], [Divination], or [Evocation]?' You say, 'My third choice is Evocation' Your task 'Crystal of Kintaz Specialization' has been updated. Ostorm says, 'Your primary skill choice is Alteration. Your secondary skill choice is Abjuration. Your third choice is Evocation.What is your fourth skill choice? Is it [Conjuration] or [Divination]?' You say, 'My fourth choice is Divination.' Your task 'Crystal of Kintaz Specialization' has been updated. Ostorm says, 'Your primary skill choice is Alteration. Your secondary skill choice is Abjuration. Your third choice is Evocation. Your fourth choice is Divination. Your fifth choice is Conjuration.' Ostorm says, 'Are you ready to [continue]?' You say, 'I am ready to continue' Your task 'Crystal of Kintaz Specialization' has been updated. You have received a replay timer for 'Crystal of Kintaz Specialization': 0d:0h:15m remaining. Your memories have been adjusted. Ostorm ..hear me? Ah, you seem to be coming out of your stupor. I think you have been exposed to the crystal long enough. By the time you leave the temple, your memories should have faded. Do you have the [fifty gold] coins that you owe me? You say, 'fifty gold coins?' Ostorm says, 'You do not remember? You promised me fifty gold coins for allowing you to be exposed to the sacred crystal of Kintaz.' Ostorm says, 'Thank you.' Your faction standing with Temple of Solusek Ro has been adjusted by 2. Your faction standing with Shadowed Men has been adjusted by -2. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I am a 21 cleric with alteration at 49 and evokation at 92. I wanted to change my spec. to alteration. I did this quest twice and gave Ostrom the ruby and he said by the time I left, my spec. would change. They never changed, even after I zoned. Anyone know why? How important is it anyway? I submitted a bug but of course never got an answer. Can anyone answer this?

Correct. And with an Evoc of 92 and an Alter at 49, you sound like you've been mostly a solo Cleric thus far. In later levels you'll have to group to get XP and items. Thusly, Alteration for heals is much more important than Evocation. Make sure you max out your Alteration first, then worry about the other disciplines. Waste some time just sitting in a city zone casting on yourself to raise your disciplines. At 30, when you get specialization, cast your level 1 heal on yourself continously until your specialized Alteration gets to 50, then you'll have no worries.

At 21 cleric you dont have specialization yet. Those are you casting skills you are talking about. Specialization you get at 30th level which you need to train 1 point in at your trainer.

Does this also work for resetting Secondary Forte? Or is there a similar quest that will do that?

Shaman, Druids and Clerics can also do this quest to reset theres as well.

It took me about 400plat(to the guy in S.Ro) and killing about 400 of the Shadowen Men..(boring) They scowled at me and now they are indf. let's hope this works.I helped a few Cleric's out in this zone so im assuming thats what messed me up to begin with, but thats the way the game goes =)

The 50 gp he asks for after you respecialized is supposed to be a joke. You aren't supposed to remeber anything before that point so he asks you for 50 gp to try and scam you. Just trying to clear that up.

I just did this last nite while I was in zone helping a friend with Cleric epic. My buddies were spamming my chat channel so I missed the text that followed the turn in. When I checked my skills, nothing had changed and I thought "Hey!! He ate my ruby!! Jerk!!". So after scrolling up my chat window the text stated something about my mind returning by the time I left there. I zoned out and everthing was back at 49.
So remember!! Zone afterwards.

Just did the quest. Did all the banter in Common and handed Ostorm a ruby only. He reset my skills. I purchased the ruby for 131pp from Kirem Deepfacet in PoK. He is inside the building in the center of the city between the library and the north wall. He is on the second storey in the northeast room.

You should pick your spec then work that up to 50. Once you get it to 50 start the others and get your main spec to 51. No way to ***** up the specs. Hope this helps.
That is the best way to do it from the begining aye.
However as SoE changes the in game spells some of us find a need to re-specialise due to the changing nature of what role we perform.

just wanted to tell that I did that quest today with a 55 Dark Elf Cleric (Innoruuk) and he conned indifferently to me. I got no problems with the hand in.
Good luck!

I con apprehensive as a DE. I thought that maybe if I just hand him a ruby and 50gp, he'll do it anyway. I was wrong. He says "I will do nothing to aid beings like you!" and eats the ruby and money.
Careful!
I had to fix my faction. I did this quest about 20 times: Cost about 60pp, took about 30 minutes:
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=305
Gave him a ruby and recieved the message:
All your specializations have been reset to 49
Confirmed: You do NOT need to give any money; just the Ruby

I'll 2nd that. Tried it with my chanter, handed in a ruby and he lowered my spec's. Went through the dialogue before hand and he mention nothing about needing money.
An added note, I had to zone to see the changes in the specializations.

Check this link out for raising faction with the temple of solusek. I would suggest doing the flower quest, it's boring, but it gets the job done. You can also kill the shadows in WC. They are southwest of the lake in the corner of the zone, and raise faction pretty fast. Good luck!

Anyone have an idea how to increase faction with Temple of Sol Ro? I can't do the quest because of it =/

In South Ro, find Rathmana Allin, NW corner, and give him 30 gold or 3pp. He will either give you a low lvl spell or a junk item for a lowbie quest and it will raise your faction.
You can also give Ortallious, the named orc in front of him, 3 or 4 cuthroat rings (either is fine) and get faction as well.

I doubt many wizzies will do this. Evocation being the foundation of our nukes, it's well over 50 before most others reach 50. Abjuration and Alteration will follow not too far behind though, since this is where our Shields, Roots and Gates reside.
Conjuration is a wizzies nightmare. To get it up, you need to do thousands upon thousands of Halo of Light and Eye of Zomm spells... the only Conjuration spells until Lesser Familiar. And in SolA and Paw you want that flapping red obstruction up!

I heard about a mage that reset specializations. Then thought "Woot! I am outta here!" Casts gate, then sees a message:
You have increased your skill at Specialization: Divination.
No it WASNT me.
I am going to do this quest soon. Conjuration seems much more important for mages at higher levels. After Char (level 54?), almost all the good mage nukes are conjuration based. Add to that all the summoned gear, mod rods, COTH and other spells. Sadly, for mages, below level 50, Evocation is King. 55 & above, Conjuration is preferred if you plan to do guild raids. I suggest that if you plan to do raids in the long term, start with Conjuration.

Ok I have made my first char to lvl 51 so call me a n00b or what ever but heres my question what dose specialization do for you I have heard makes spells last longer/ go further/ less fizzles etc..... so once and for all what dose it do so I know if I want to reset mine and any seggestions im a barb shammy and i run most of the time with a druid and some solo

The effect is only supposed to reduce the amount of mana used when Specialization successfully processes. Over a cycle of time this will allow you to continue casting a few more spells with the conserved mana. Does not last longer. Does not decrease chance of fizzle.

I have hit 50 in 3 of my specializations 2 time now after doing the quest 2 time....each time after having them set back to 49, I sit for hours doing alteration spells on newbies (alteration is the specialization I want) till it hits 50 and the rest still stay at 49...then in normal group game play, they all hit 50, and alteration hasn't gone up to 51. What am I doing wrong..those rubies arent cheap!

My wife's 54 druid has specialization skill of 52 in all of her specialize casting skills except alteration which is at 50. None will go any higher. If she does this quest will she be able to fix this problem. Any info would be great.
Thanks

I have heard of a few people with this problem. If two of your specializations end up above 50, it will lock them all. You need to do the reset quest. Did you happen to be above level 50 when the specialize abilities were added, or when you first trained them?
EVERYONE with specialization problems, make sure to check one thing:
There are FIVE specializations, NONE will go above 50, unless EVERY one has atleast one point in it.
The five casting abilities are:
Abjuration
Alteration
Conjuration
Divination
Evocation
Put 1, or more point in EACH of these. At that point, you should have 20-30 points in each, since you get 1 point per level to your current level when training them. If you have the cash, you can just buy your way to 51, which should lock your specialization in.
If not, memorize a level one spell of the class you want to specialize in. cast that spell repeatedly until your skill goes over 50. If it is a buff or heal spell, you can just target yourself, and cast it over and over. For other spells, go nuke/dot some newby mobs.
For mages specializing conjuration, I recommend the summon food/water spells, since you can just drop it into inventory until you fill up, then dump it all on the ground for newbies, or hand out stacks.

I thought hybrid casters had specialization caps at 50, or thereabout. Maybe I am wrong....
1) druid aren't an "hybrid caster" but we are priest.
2) druid don't have a cap 50 spesialization (all at 50 and the one at 132 for me actually)
3) HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
In the moment when my specialization getting to turn over 50 (so kind of choice wich one will be the big one) i was most with some friend and our group was usually a wizzy, a cleric a tank.., so like u can imagine i mostly spend my time to buff and back heal a lil but really a lil, so without i saw anything, my ABJURATION specialization grow real quick...
After that , i read that it existe a Specialization reset quest BUT what i read there ONLY INT casters????????????? WHY?????????
AND WHAT WE (priest, hybrid caster)are supposed to do in this case ?
Or i am wrong and we can do it too ?
Any Idea?

Since when is a Druid a "hybrid caster"?

I'm a level 61 chanter that specialized in alteration and conjuration at level 30. Both of my specializations are stuck at 50. Any clue why they're stuck at 50? Maybe a bug? Guess I'll try resetting to 49 and just cast a ton of alterations spells.....
You need to train one point in each skill, if ANY specialization is still zero, none will go over 50.
Its because the first thing you specialized in was brought above 50 (In specialization skill) that is the only one that can be brought above skill level 50
You dont even have to talk to him, just hand him the ruby and 50gp, then zone. If you look at your specs before you zone, they will still show up as what they were, you have to zone to clear em.

would this be an easy way to specialize train once in each go give him the ruby and cash and gate to your guild train twice in the one u want and your now specialized in what u want slightly expensive but easy way. would this work or not. my cleric is geting close to specialize level and i dont like casting the same spell over and over again so i mite try it if noone knows
3 posts
This would be a good way to raise all your specialization skills to 49...if it worked. I just did this quest (if you can call it a quest) and afterward all my specializations were at 49, except for evocation which was 43. I didnt check to see what they were beforehand but Im assuming they were not changed except for the one above 50.

I just did this with my 56 Druid. He's become my solo character for when my guilds not doin anything so I figured I'd change his specialization from evocation to conjuration. I believe that any class that can specialize can do this quest.
Finding Ostrom is pretty easy. Just go to the right after going up the ramp in the initial room. He's in the room just past the bridge. I gave him a ruby and I got xp and faction and he told me that my head would clear after I left the Temple. He also asked if I had the 50 gold that I owed him. I checked my specialization and it was still on evocation. I gave him the 50 gold and got no xp but when I checked my skills specialization had been reset to 49. I gated, went to a druid trainer and spent 2 points on specialization conjuration to lock it in. heh now all I gotta do is make the climb back to 200.
Specialization in a class does NOT reduce casting times. What it will do for you is make spells of that class cost slightly less mana to cast and will give a slightly better chance to NOT fizzle.
