Call of the Forsaken Info & Guides: Overview | Progression & Task List | Raiding | Visible Armor

About Heroic Adventures

- Heroic adventures in Call of the Forsaken scale in level: As low as Level 75 and up to current maximum level.
- Scale is based on the highest level player present in the zone and affects difficulty, loot quality, and mob levels.
- There is some variation/randomization in the task steps you'll be assigned as you progress through the task.
- Time of completion will vary by your group's makeup (anywhere from 30-90+ minutes).
- Collection items appear as ground spawns midway through tasks (you'll see an emote indicating their appearance).
- Named mobs (or their PHs) spawn midway through tasks (usually, but always, at the same time collection items appear).
- These tasks have individual 3-hour lockout timers (timer gained upon completion).

Experience in Heroic Adventures

- Mobs in these instances grant some experience, but the bulk of experience is earned upon task completion.
- As of a patch in November 2014, less difficult tasks were tuned to reward less experience and more difficult ones were tuned to reward more.
- For an added experience bonus, check out Guard Hamarn's "Daily Tasks".

TASK IN DETAIL

========================================================================
TRIGGERING THE TASK
========================================================================

You say, 'Hail, Rozz T`Ver'

Rozz T`Ver says 'The king's alliances are crumbling. His mysterious visitor has drafted a partnership with someone else, and his majesty believes it to be the queen. Although the queen is determined to get [revenge] by any means, she is not conspiring with the king's short-lived ally. His growing paranoia has left him eager to attack. Naythox will strike the Halls of the Dead if we don't [intervene].'

You say, 'We should intervene...'

Rozz T`Ver appears relieved, 'I knew I could count on you, _____.' The dark elf scans her surroundings before continuing, 'Meet me outside the palace when you're [ready]. We have much to discuss.'

You have been assigned the task 'Royal Access'.

Enter Darklight Palace and prevent the king's assault on the Halls of the Dead before finding a way for the queen to regain access to the palace.

???

If she wants you to obtain weapons:

Rozz T`Ver lowers her voice to a whisper, 'We're taking quite the risk by meeting so close to the barracks, but it puts us in a better position to destroy the king's forces before he has a chance to attack. An army isn't much without its weapons. Enter the barracks and steal whatever weapons you can. With the Dreadguard weakened, you'll be able to focus your efforts on finding a way for the queen to regain entry to the palace.'

========================================================================
STEP #2

Task Window Says: Rozz would like to hear of your success.

If You Get This Step: This is a hail update. Her response depends on what the previous step was.

If you killed sleeping guards:

Rozz T`Ver says 'Excellent work, _____. I'll take care of whatever reinforcements are sent to the barracks. In the meantime, you need to focus your efforts on finding a way for the queen to regain access to the palace. Thankfully her majesty planned ahead for times just like these. Within her bedchambers you'll find the items you need to help the queen find her way back to Darklight Palace.'

If you obtained attack plans:

???

If you looted sharpened weapons:

Rozz T`Ver says 'Excellent work, _____. The Dreadguard won't be much of a force without their finest weapons, though I'll stay here and fend off any that still wish to fight. In the meantime, you need to focus your efforts on finding a way for the queen to regain access to the palace. Thankfully her majesty planned ahead for times just like these. Within her bedchambers you'll find the items you need to help the queen find her way back to Darklight Palace.'

========================================================================

Note that the key is not necessarily in the box by the bed. Also try the painting by clicking on it. As well, once you obtain the key you need to make your way to the parlor where guards await. It is in the parlor that the secret bookcase is located... NOT the bedroom.

The locked door in the Queen's bedchamber can be opened from either side by clicking on door whilst viewing from Eye of Zomm.
Not sure whether this is any use but someone did say that the collectibles can spawn in that hidden area.

I've had collectibles that have spawned in the southern room on the very west side which isn't accessible here. So if you can't find all of them, that would be why.

Earned 47 AA's at 105 with LotD running during a +50% XP weekend. So means it normally awards around 16 AA's.

Very easy mission. Took less than 30 minutes to box and can be done faster now that we know the routine.

Got this down to under 25 minutes, and that's with a break to make coffee. For the return, maybe the best HA,

Thank you for taking the time to post all of your "notes" updates.

For those reading this comment at a later date, Sippin has provided a massive amount of information on missions/tasks/adventures over the past few years.

Thanks for the thanks.

I have to admit to a selfish motivation, however. Over the 15 years or so I've played EQ I've produced stacks and stacks of written printouts and notes for myself but regularly I lose or misplace them, particularly if I go back to a quest or zone which I last did months or years ago. By storing this info here on allakhazam not only does it hopefully help other players but it ensures that I can find the info MYSELF sometime down the road when I need it again! Win, win, or what!? Smiley: yippee

If you have to kill the guards to open the secret exit, you must kill EVERY "Guard"..not just those in the library, before u can use the key to open the door to complete task. Can end up being more than 12 (I counted 16 guards plus 2 lazy guards on the HA I did). You will not be able to complete the task until you do..in case you are soloing/ moloing this task like I did.

Yes, I've had a bookcase too. Also had a chest at the foot of the bed.
Just run around and click anything likely.

Create a portal to allow passage into the palace 0/1 (Neriak Fourth Gate)

Task Window Says: ?

If You Get This Step: Kill named dark elves and stonetalons until you've looted 5x "Dark Elf Blood" and 4x "Enchanted Stone". Right-click the Enchanted Stones in the queen's bedroom (this places the stones), and then right-click the Dark Elf Blood. Click on the portal to port back to Rozz T`Ver.

(Task completes here; there is no completion text)


This step is actually 3 "Enchanted Stone" and 1 "Dark Elf Blood", the blood is lore and there are only 3 statues to kill

This is correct, still the wrong info in the detailed step #6. The stonetalons can drop more that one but you can only click 3 times in the bedroom.
