Full Walkthrough

Power of the Orb

Rykas is a gnome in a yellow robe in Lake Rathetear, who may be found at approximately +950, -650.

You say, 'Hail, Rykas'

Rykas says 'Greetings ______, I am Rykas, chronicler of knowledge. I have journeyed all throughout the lands of Norrath, and I have learned many tales of adventure from people I have encountered during my travels. I have learned of legends known and unknown to most mortals. Are you in search of knowledge?'

You say, 'I am in search of knowledge.'

Rykas says 'A small task is needed if you wish to learn more. Do you wish to learn the tale of Magi'kot?'

You say, 'I wish to learn the tale of Magi'kot.'

Rykas says, 'If you seek to learn the tale of Trilith Magi'kot, your journey shall begin in the Commonlands. Search for Jahsohn Ak'sot and give him this token. He will share some of the knowledge I have bestowed upon him, and point you further down your path to Mastery. Bring me the Words of Mastery, Power of the Elements, and the Words of Magi'kot....Then you shall learn more about the power of the orb.'

You receive a Token of Mastery.

Words of Magi`kot

Now find Jahsohn Ak`sot (note slightly different spelling) in the western Commonlands, who wanders in the general vicinity of +60, +3640.

You say, 'Hail, Jahsohn Ak`sot'

Jahsohn Ak`sot says 'Greetings, ______.'

Give him the token.

Jahsohn Ak`sot says 'What is this? I cannot believe you found it! Where did you get this?'
You gain experience!!

You say, 'Rykas sent me.'

Jahsohn Ak`sot says 'I have not heard of anyone speaking that name out loud in years. Rykas once shared a tale with me, though I have lived with fear in my mind ever since. He told me afterwards that I did not have the balance I thought I had. Have you come for the Words of Magi'kot?'

You say, 'I have come for the Words of Magi'kot.'

Jahsohn Ak`sot says 'The Words of Magi'kot can only be shared with those elementalists whose minds are of balance. The Words were separated into three pieces by a high council of Magi who feared that the story would bring an end to elementalists throughout Norrath. If you feel you wish to read from the sacred Power of the Orb then an elementalist of such power should easily accomplish this task.'

You say, 'What task?'

Jahsohn Ak`sot says 'Bring me the torn pages of Magi'kot. The first section can be found in the depths of a tainted forest, warded by an angry lupine. It is also rumored that one section is found in the haunted estate of a murderer, on a many armed creature. The last may be found in the belly of an amphibian who thirsts for blood.'

You now need Torn Page(s) of Magi`kot pg. 1-3. Page 1 drops in Kithicor Forest from the level 40 Enraged Dread Wolf or dread wolf that spawns at night. Page 2 drops in the Estate of Unrest from the tentacle terrors and dark terrors found in the basement. Page 3 drops in Lower Guk from bloodthirsty ghouls and the frenzied ghoul. Give all three words to Jahsohn.

Jahsohn Ak`sot says 'Have you forgotten something, ______?'

Jahsohn Ak`sot says 'Have you forgotten something, ______?'

Jahsohn Ak`sot says 'Rykas may have been right about you, ______. Now, go find Walnan. Walnan was apprenticed to a very powerful Mage. After her apprenticeship was complete, she wished to begin teaching other beings of Norrath. Even those who knew nothing of the art! I do not believe she was successful, though. Seek her out to further your tale. Good luck in your journeys, ______!'

You receive the Words of Magi`kot.

Power of the Elements

Now find Walnan, a female high elf in purple in the Butcherblock Mountains. She wanders the path from the docks to Kaladim.

You say, 'Hail, Walnan'

Walnan says 'Hallo ______! I am Walnan, elementalist, summoner, wanderer, and sometimes teacher. Might you be a elementalist in search of the truth?'

You say, 'I am in search of the truth.'

Walnan says 'The truth is something not all people can handle or understand. If the truth of the elements is what you seek then the Power of the Elements shall reveal all. Have you come to learn of Magi'kot?'

You say, 'I have come to learn of Magi'kot.'

Walnan says 'Magi'kot was the most powerful elementalist of his age. He may have been the most powerful mortal mage of all time, such was his mastery. He wished to obtain infinite knowledge and wisdom in order to further expand the arcane art of Summoning. Do you know what became of Magi'kot?'

You say, 'No.'

Walnan says 'Only a few elementalists and followers outside our circle know what truly happened to Magi'kot. Even now, many are fearful to speak of his name. If you truly wish to continue, here is what you must do. Gather the Power of the Earth, warded by a fae creature. Then seek the Power of Fire, held by an elemental. Next you will need the Power of Wind, held by a twirling and prancing wanderer who has been corrupted. Finally, the Power of Water, held by a ravenous beast who is the minion of a fallen Sarnak. Bring them all to me, and I shall give you the Power of the Elements.'

The Power of Earth drops from A Fairy Guard in Lesser Faydark. The Power of Fire drops from blazing elementals and lava elementals in Solusek A, aka Solusek's Eye. The Power of Wind drops from A Gypsy Dancer in Mistmoore Castle, found in the ballroom of the castle. The Power of Water drops from various mobs in Kaesora. Give all four to Walnan.

Walnan says 'Wait, ______, are you not forgetting something?'

Walnan says 'Wait, ______, are you not forgetting something?'

Walnan says 'Wait, ______, are you not forgetting something?'

Walnan says 'The arcane art of Summoning is derived from the power of the elements which surround us. Continue your journey across the Ocean of Tears. In a dark fortress, you should find Akksstaf lurking about. Be wary, but tell him that you seek Magi'kot. Hurry now ______, you do not wish to miss the ship!'
You gain experience!!

You receive Power of the Elements.

Words of Mastery

The dark fortress Walnan spoke of is Najena, whose entrance is found in the Lavastorm Mountains. Akksstaff is a male dark elf in a green-brown robe who wanders Najena. He has a relatively long spawn time of anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days.

You say, 'Hail, Akksstaff'

Akksstaff says 'What do you want?! Foolish Human, I am in no mood to treat with beggars. I have half a mind to turn Jobober here loose on you! Well, don't keep me waiting, state your business or be off with you!'

You say, 'Tell me about Magi'kot.'

Akksstaff says 'Ah, that I can help you with. Magi'kot was a powerful elementalist, able to control the power of the elements which surrounded him. He was not able to fully master the elements when I was learning from him, but soon after my departure I heard rumors that he was going after the Orb of Mastery. At the time, I did not feel he was ready to harness all the elements, but Magi'kot listened to no one. He was in search of power beyond any held by a mortal. Do you wish to hear more?'

You say, 'I wish to hear more.'

Akksstaff says 'Then bring me the torn pages of Mastery, there are four pages that can be found upon the women In this keep, though have a care, Najena's followers guard her treasures carefully, and delight in punishing trespassers.'

The four pages drop randomly off various magicians, goblin magicians, Rathyl, Rathyl Incarnate (spawned after Rathyl is killed), etc., and may be found throughout Najena. Gather all four and give them to Akksstaff.

Akksstaff says 'Very well. Take these words back to that shriveled old gnome, Rykas, if you wish to complete this quest. Now leave me, ______, it sickens me to be this cordial for so long. And Jobober needs exercise. Go!'

You receive Words of Mastery.

Power of the Orb

Return to Rykas in Lake Rathetear, and give him Words of Magi`kot, Power of the Elements, and Words of Mastery.

Rykas says 'I see that you have completed the quest I laid before you. That speaks well of your dedication, yet you do not realize your journey has just begun. Study this tome.'
You gain experience!!

You receive Power of the Orb, which reads as follows:

"An elementalist's power comes from the Orb of Mastery. The Elements of Earth, Fire, Wind and Water are contained within the orb. The Master of Elements holds the Orb.

"He can be found within the Plane of Sky. No mortal has been able to contain the true power of the Orb.

"Trilith Magi'kot presented himself to the Master of Elements and the Orb of Mastery. The power of elements brought agony to his mind and body. Magi'kot was not of Balance.

"Fire burned his eyes unto blindness, Wind put his mind into a spin, Earth entered his body and aged him like the mountains, and finally, Water washed his memories of mortal life away.

"Failing his test, the Orb exacted its terrible price, and now Magi'kot is part of the Orb.

"The bearer of this tome should seek out the Master of Fire and present it to him, for there is much left to be revealed."

Element of Fire

The Master of Fire is Jennus Lyklobar, who may be found in Skyfire Mountains.

You say, 'Hail, Jennus Lyklobar'

Jennus Lyklobar says 'Hello and well met! Humans like you don't often come here.. Do you come seeking what I possess? Fire, fire, fire and fire is mine! I surround myself with fire, I bathe in fire, I consume fire, I am the Master of Fire! Hahahaha, but I digress. Have you come for the element of Fire, seeking to fall to the same fate as Trilith Magi'kot?'

You say, 'I have come for the element of Fire.'

Jennus Lyklobar says 'The Element of Fire I can provide you, but you must prove you are able to contain its power. Bring me the Torch of the Elements now kept by a doomed lord of merchants, the burning embers from a notable member of wurmkind who can be found a short journey from here and a blazing wand, which you should be familiar with. And you must surrender the tome Rykas gave you. But I think you would be happier if you stayed with me and learned more of the beauty of the one true element, FIRE! FIRE! Hahahahahahah!'

Obtain the following items: Torch of the Elements (dropped by Neh`Ashirr in City of Mist), Burning Embers (dropped by Phurzikon, Nezekezena, or Gylton, named wurms in Burning Woods), and Blazing Wand (dropped by Undertow in Kedge Keep). Give these three items along with Power of the Orb to Jennus.

Jennus Lyklobar says 'I see that you are well versed in the ways of Fire. Indeed, if you are as adept in the other, lesser elements, you may just seize the Orb of Mastery after all, and avoid Magi'kot's fate. Take this element, and guard it well, for more trials are to come, I assure you. Succeed and you shall be remembered always! Oh, and ______? Watch out for the puddles! HAHAHAHAHAHA!'
You gain experience!!

You receive Element of Fire.

Element of Earth

Seek out Tiblner Mil`nik in Firiona Vie. He's a male high elf in a brown robe wandering near the cliff.

You say, 'Hail, Tiblner Mil`nik'

Tiblner Mil`nik says 'Huh? What? Oh, you speak so fast, it took me a moment. I have become used to the slow and stately conversation the Earth holds, where a thought can span aeons. I am the Master of Earth, you know. Though I'm usually too humble to say this, that makes me the most powerful mortal in Norrath, as everyone knows that Earth is the only REAL Element, all else must give way before its power. Water is absorbed by it, Air is ignored by it, and Fire is contained in it. But you know all these things, I am sure. Are you interested in obtaining the Element of Earth? I know Magi'kot was, but we know what happened to him, don't we?'

You say, 'I have come for the element of earth.'

Tiblner Mil`nik says 'Combining the following items can bring the Element of Earth together. Obtain the Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth, held by the minions of the Prince of Hate, The Dirt of Underfoot found on Slix something or the other, and of course, I shall need the Broom of Trilon and the Shovel of Ponz. Bring all these things, and I shall show you what a true Master of Earth can do, and gift you with the Element of Earth.'

The Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth is an uncommon drop from one of the mini-bosses in the Plane of Hate, Magi P`Tasa. Dirt of Underfoot is a rare drop from Slixin Klex in the Burning Woods. The Broom of Trilon and Shovel of Ponz are the results of quests available through the Temple of Solusek Ro. Give all four items to Tiblner.

Tiblner Mil`nik says 'Take this Element and keep it with you. I wish you the best in your journey, but I must ask you to leave me now, this frantic pace you set makes me nervous.'
You gain experience!!

You receive Element of Earth.

Element of Water

Find Jinalis Andir, an erudite female in blue robes at approximately -600, -2000 in Dagnor's Cauldron.

You say, 'Hail, Jinalis Andir'

Jinalis Andir says 'Let us dispense with pleasantries, ______. I am Jinalis, as you know. I imagine you want to control the Elements. The Element of Water, which I possess, is the most powerful of the Elements. With it you can control the water which falls from the Air, erodes the Earth, and extinguishes Fire. It is a pity you do not focus on the Prime Element, but if you wish to follow that fool Magi'kot to your doom, I will not stop you. Bring me the Staff of Elemental Mastery: Water held by the last of the Kedge, the Tears of Erollisi held by a dirty and rotten officer across the Blessed Deep, and finally, the Rain of Karana, found on a mighty Giant in, where else, the Karanas.'

The Staff of Elemental Mastery: Water is a rare drop from Phinigel Autropos in Kedge Keep. Rain of Karana drops every time from Tarbul Earthstrider in Eastern Karana. He has a placeholder of "a rogue lion." Tears of Erollisi drop from Captain Rottgrime at the outpost in The Overthere. Give the three items to Jinalis.

Jinalis Andir says 'You have the control needed in order to manipulate the water which surrounds us. Take this Element and guard it well, you will need it in the times to come.'
You gain experience!!

You receive Element of Water.

Element of Wind

Find Kihun Solstin, a human male in white in the quest room below the first island in the Plane of Sky.

You say, 'Hail, Kihun Solstin'

Kihun Solstin says 'So, you have made it this far. I am Kihun Solstin, the Master of Wind. I control the unfettered Element like none other. As you should have learned, Air is the most potent of Elements. It fuels Fire, Water is comprised of it, and Earth cannot restrain it. Knowing this, do you seek the Element of Wind?'

You say, 'I seek the element of Wind.'

Kihun Solstin says 'I will test you then. In this wondrous plane of Air [editor's note: now Sky], find the Crown of Elemental Mastery, and search the world below for an Elemental Binder, and a cloak fashioned from the feathers of a Pegusus. Return them to me and I shall give you the Element of Wind.'

The Crown of Elemental Mastery is a rare drop from any mob on the seventh island in the Plane of Sky. Elemental Binders drop from Elemental Warriors in The Hole. The Pegasus Feather Cloak is a very rare drop from a rare spawn, Quillmane, found in Southern Karana. By all accounts this is the most difficult piece to get. Give the three items to Kihun.

Kihun Solstin says 'If you have obtained the other, lesser Elements, go speak with The Master of Elements, who is now waiting for you. I wish you luck. If you have not completed all the tasks set for you, let me know, and I shall let you see the Master.'
You gain experience!!

You receive Element of Wind.

Orb of Mastery

After receiving the Element of Wind, Master of Elements will spawn in the Plane of Sky. If for some reason he has despawned, you can always get him to respawn by talking to Kihun Solstin and saying, "I want to see the master."

You say, 'Hail, Master of Elements'

Master of Elements says 'I... am... the... Master... of... Elements.. Elements... Forgive... me. I am... unaccustomed.. to.. speaking.. this.. mortal... tongue. Might.. you... be... the... One?'

You say, 'I am the One'

Master of Elements says 'Trilith... Magi'kot.. knelt.. before.. the.. orb.. in.. his.. his.. last.. few.. moments... of.. mortal.. life. He... too... believed.. that.. he.. had.. the.. power.. and.. balance.. needed.. to.. grasp... control.. of.. the.. elements. He.. was.... flawed.

Give.... give.. me.. the.. Elements.. you.. have... gathered.. and.. I.. shall.. see.. if.. you.. are.. ready.. ready.. to control.. the... Elements.. of... life.. life.. life.'

Give it the Element of Fire, the Element of Earth, the Element of Water, and the Element of Wind.

Master of Elements says 'You... are.. balanced... and.. powerful.. for.. a.. mortal... ______ ..... ______ . More.. so.. than.... Magi'kot. But.... you.. are.. not.. yet.. ready.. to.. transcend.. transcend... this.. mortal.. coil. Take.. take.. seize.. this..

Maybe it's just me, but I have been unable to access the magecompendium website. Is there another website that gives a complete overview of the magician epic?

#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 10 2002 at 2:10 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Okay I am a Mage of the 51st Chapter on....well I am not going to say what server because of what I have to say. Firstly I am of the 51st because I soloed most of my time and did this in about 3 weeks. (I work long hours so that is why it was 3 weeks and not less). Anyways this is important because I am still learning the game. Like I learned that if you do the JBoot quest and give him too much money, as long as you go right back with exact change, you get the boots (3250 is the correct amount, trust me). Anyway that too is important because right now, me being the eager one that I am, I gave Jennus Lyklobar the tome from Rykas before getting the rest of the items required for the Master of Fire. I worry because although the tome reads, "...The bearer of this tome should seek out the Master of Fire and present it to him, for there is much left to be revealed", I read futher and the tome was handed in with the rest of the items gotten on raids. Now my question is...if I hand the items in later, the ones that are required, will it be as if I had handed all the items in at once or will I have to do the begining again? I would really hate to have to do this thing again. If I have to, then I will just leave the quest alone and play my ranger or druid. Remember lvl does not denote knowledge. It only exhibits dedication, learning curve, and.....no life, hehe j/k....
#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 05 2003 at 5:12 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Jeez you ppl going on and on about it....you can hit 51 in like a week from 35 easy all you gotta do is the escaped catman quest last part over and over so all you gotta do is get to 35 in a short amount of time....with powerlvling easy i powerlvld my friend from 1 to 15 in one night...then he hit bandits the 2nd night and HHK the 3rd 35 in 3 days so if he wouldn't have wasted time up in DSP hunting those weakling gatherers he coulda been 50 easy by now cuz now its only his 3rd week on this char and he's 48...only thing that stopped him was his 2 weeks in DSP hunting blues useless

Sorry if you don't like flames folks, scroll past this if you don't. But I've got to say this...

/em stands on his soapbox.

51 levels in 3 weeks?

Is that total game hours played? If it is then you might be able to do that. Not without KEI at all times, fully twinked, and without a healer class power leveling you the whole way though. You didn't camp anything except xp critters. You didn't learn a single trade skill. You didn't talk to anyone.

If that is real time, then we got a name for you where I'm from, a LIAR.

Oh and if you did manage to get 51 levels even in 3 weeks of game hours, then you are hardly learning the game. You obviously know all the perfect hunting spots for a solo mage through all the levels, no small amount of knowledge right there.

And I'd also like to know how you took the time out of this busy leveling schedule to camp the Ancient Cyclops (typically HEAVILY camped at all spawn points at all hours of the day) to do the JBoot quest.

And I think you missed the point of the game dude, its called EverQuest, not EverLevel.

And if I'm totally off base and you really did do this, my apologies on slamming your EQ playing prowess but then I have one more thing to say...

GET AN F'IN LIFE. YOU ARE THE PERSON THEY MADE THAT STUPID 48 HOURS SHOW ABOUT.

/em breathes a much needed deep breath and steps down from his soapbox.

Okay total game hours played were numerous. I have no tradeskills to mention that is true. And as for the AC I camped him after I dinged 51 and used my time there as a break from steady leveling. I camped all xp critters as you say and yes I did use KEI a LOT of the time.

I was enjoying hearing that little ding sound as I went up in level. In fact, when times got slow, I would work on lesser chars. I was in a guild from lvl 29-30 and still am. I asked what their opinion was on me starting a new char in conjunction with my mage and the best advice was at least wait till I was 50 or 60, so I did. As for the AC, on my server most of the ppl that camp AC get bored and frustrated and basically give up.

Doing the AC solo is where I got my last 3 bubbles of 50-51. It was easy to get more xp once a person learned the game and their character. I was at lvl 5 killing greens before I realized that the ones I got xp on were the ltblue to yellow (mind you those freaking faiere (sp?) guards and the like haunted my dreams but hey, I soon was able to take no notice of them as I made them scream in mercy.

So now I ask you sir, you are lvl 43 as of this post. Do YOU know how to play your character? I do. I learned early on the way to get all the xp as a mage is to out damage your pet but wait until he built up agro b4 you did such. I would let him do a bubble of damage to the mob b4 I layed down a low-medium power nuke. Then I would wait to see if the mob noticed. When it didn't, I went nuke crazy.

As for this comment, "GET AN F'IN LIFE. YOU ARE THE PERSON THEY MADE THAT STUPID 48 HOURS SHOW ABOUT" I have a life and my life is doing what I enjoy. Unlike you though sir I am CERTAIN that I have done and experienced more of life and the world than you ever will.

Flaming? Yes you do flame. And you sizzle. But will I sink to a level such as yours where you are stuck in a rut and cannot move past your 43? Nope. I have my knowledge of what I was able to accomplish. I am driven and in being that way I produce. Sadly though, I remain at 52 as my epic continues to elude me.

Lastly sir, I go by the name of Sirulus Delon, member of the Shadow Hawks (formerly of Paragon In Trust but our powers united and combined) on Tunare server. I am on some times when I am not playing on my other server. You are more than welcome to question any of my guildmates and also to challenge me to a duel. I will show you that I know how to play the game and play my character. I am sorry if you just suck so bad that you must lurk around message boards venting your aggressions in the manner that you have. You tell me to get an F'IN life? Friend, if you had so much of a life, why the hell did you even post here? You are so lame. That is all. (yes I know I said I would not stoop but he was stuck to the bottom of my shoe.....)

I will respond to your last paragraph first. I do not "lurk around message boards venting [my] aggressions" normally. Look at my rating, several people must think that my posts are insightful since several of my posts have been modded up. Scroll down a little further on this page and you'll see one. As a matter of fact you are the ONLY person I have flamed on this website period. I only did so because I CAN'T STAND LIARS. One thing I like about this website I love is the quality of information that is the norm on this site but people like you muck it up.

Why the hell did I post here? Its a great thing to do when taking a break at work since I can surf the web here in my break times.

I am so lame? I'm not the one who had to lie about how long it took me to get to a certain level to stroke my ego on a message board. Because you even replied to my post makes me think that's the pot is calling the kettle black.

You are Mr. Contradiction.

"But will I sink to a level such as yours where you are stuck in a rut and cannot move past your 43? Nope." Followed shortly by, "yes I know I said I would not stoop..."

And how about one sentence followed by its contradiction.... "In fact, when times got slow, I would work on lesser chars. I was in a guild from lvl 29-30 and still am. I asked what their opinion was on me starting a new char in conjunction with my mage and the best advice was at least wait till I was 50 or 60, so I did." Um, let me get this straight, you worked on lesser chars during this 3 weeks and yet did not create them based on guildmate advice. Which is it?

And to respond to the rut comment. Hardly, the only reason I don't level fast is because I have many friends in the game and we all have mains and alts at various levels. I have more fun when playing with them and not soloing so I spread my EQ time out amongst my 1 main and 4 alts. We all try to stay very close to each other's level with our various characters so as not to throw off the xp balance.

A very brave man you are for a level 51 (now 52) mage to challenge a level 43 (now 44) mage. Yeah you'd show me how to play alright. Being 8 levels lower I couldn't land a single successful spell I'm sure. You'd have to display all the tactics of throwing 2 Shock of Swords spells to kill me. Cudos to your character knowledge, that would be a nifty slaughter that I'm sure you'd use to boost your ego some more.

You admit to using KEI most of the time. That clears your claim a little. You did not however mention if you were power leveled or not. As the comment below this one states, yes you possibly could have been power leveled to 50 in 3 weeks by a high level druid or cleric.

You asked if I know how to play my character. Yes, I do know my character and I know what limitations he has and what I can and can't do without serious help.

Letting the pet do enough damage that it will continue to hold aggro after you begin nuking the mob to oblivion is Mage 101 man, I don't think any mage solos past level 10 without figuring out that. And if you consider figuring out that green mobs don't give xp some in-depth character knowledge I feel pity for you.

I know that without KEI and someone powerleveling me it would be hard to solo xp mobs past level 30 that don't tear your pet a new cornhole and then come after you even after you have emptied your mana pool with nukes on the mob. I remember trying to solo my first cyclops in Rathe after they turned blue and having my *** handed to me after it pummeled the pet into the dirt and I was out of mana.

But maybe that's because I don't buy platinum online to buy all the best stuff. I don't buy KEI like a lot of the crackheads I see swarming to Nexus to get their next fix. I don't beg a sow off of every druid I see. I don't ask for buffs period. I didn't twink this character and the best things ever given to me have been an Elemental Binder and a Blackened Crystalline Robe. I do things the old fashioned way, I earn them.

You know, you know nothing about me yet you are "CERTAIN that I have done and experienced more of life and the world than you ever will." That's a bold statement. I am 27 years old, and despite a poor rural upbringing, I have managed to do a lot in this world. I have travelled quite a bit of this country having driven through and stopped and seen the sights in 35 of 50 states in this beautiful country. I have earned a bachelors degree in computer science with a double minor in Physics and Mathematics. I am now a successful computer programmer who just bought his first house. I've had a very active life up to this point and I'm still young.

But depite your claims, I know that anyone who could anyone who got 51 levels in 3 weeks doesn't currently do anything other than play this game especially considering that you said "I work long hours so that is why it was 3 weeks and not less".

I am sooooo stuck on the bottom of your shoe...the pain...it hurts.

Okay here we go. I will do a line by line disection of your rebukes.

I will say for the last time I am not lying. Sorry to burst your bubble but I am not. I have yet to see you come to Tunare Server and ask anyone there. *Key note to you, my guild is SHADOW HAWKS* Please pay us a visit whenever you feel it is neccessary.

In response to my alts, I did follow their advice. At 50, I started my alts. By then I knew where to get fast xp and die little to never. It is easy to get to 10 with the know how and not have to worry much. Also I have a 22 rng that I am thinking of making my main but after a certain level, he will need a cleric daily, hehe.

As for me challenging you to a duel, hardly. I am only challenging the fact that you feel you have a right and a point here trying to flame. As for that cyclops in Rathe, I remember when I first went there. There was a hill giant that was dk blue to me at 37(?) and I thought great way to get xp. I sent pet and was about to buff him when I selected pet and he was missing 2 bubbles of health. I gated out and came back to watch everyone else fight them. I learned a bit about to handle them by that point but still had trouble. I was just glad there was a generous Druid in zone with SoW.

I don't have to buy plat online. A foolish idea IMO but meh, you can if you wish. KEI, yes I will admit to it without a doubt. That is the extent of my 'extravagance'.

I am a world traveller, (Australia, Japan, Africa, Dubai, Jebel Ali(?), Russia, Thailand, Singapore, Saudi Arabia....all in the Military), I have seen the better part of 30 states here in the U.S., currently doing on again off again Criminal Justice studies at George Mason University, and quite a bit of other adds.

I may not have the 'status quo' that you enjoy in your world but I enjoy what I do and that is living life how I choose, and protecting your liberties so that you can feel free to flame people you do not know. So sure you may call me a liar, a bum, a beggar or a flamer. But I will continue to protect your right to log onto this computer calling people out, trying to pull punk cards and generally using this board for intentions other than honorable ones. I may not agree with you but as I said I love what I do.

With this you have my concession. I will not comment on your posts nor what you protest. I will rest with the knowledge that I am honest and everyone that matters knows. Good day to you sir and enjoy your new home. =-)

I'll say a couple more things and I am also done.

You have cleared up the alt comment. You have to admit it sounded funny the way you originally wrote it.

I didn't accuse you of buying platinum, I just said I didn't. I didn't say you begged for buffs, just that I didn't.

I apologize for calling you a liar. That is quite a feat to get that many levels in so little time and one worthy of praise in fact. I just didn't think it could be done in the time you specified since your details were a little sketchy. I am still curious as to whether you were powerleveled or twinked though but as you said you are not going to respond I guess I'll never know.

I don't use this board for flaming or "pulling punk cards", like I said last time, you are the only person I have flamed period. I only did it because I mistakenly thought you deserved it. I use this board for its intended purpose most of the time.

Your travels far exceed mine, I humbly conceded that you have seen more places in the world than I ever will. That still doesn't mean you have lived life to the fullest and or any wiser for having been there. But I do not know you so I will not claim that you aren't the wiser for it.

My apologies for starting this flame thread in the first place. Looking back on it, even if I thought you said something outlandish, I shouldn't have said anything.

Finally, sir, I honestly commend and appreciate your contributions to our country's freedom. I respect all members of our military for their work in protecting our rights. While I believe my talents, skills, and knowledge are best used in the business world during peacetime, should we go to full scale war in the near future I will be signing up you can count on that.

I will have a good day, and I hope you do the same Sirulus.

In response to all this...

I have seen characters go from 1-56, 50, and 57 in 3-5 weeks with the help of their guild. Powereleveling and non-powerleveling, buying pp and not buying pp. It IS posible. 51 in three weeks is easily doable in real time. There are numerous ways to do it. Most of them are not very true to the 'spirit' of the game...but then I'm sure if someone is using one of those types of methods they really don't care one way or the other. Personally I find the 'spirit' of the game to be for the most part dead, and the only real RPGing that goes on anymore is forced...Firiona Vie server doesnt even have good RPGing anymore.

But I digress. Just letting you know I have seen three people that I personally know go from 1-50+ in three to four weeks of playtime. Why I can't get that I'll never know. =p

May thy raids never wipe and thy Kei be everlasting!

Actually it is easy to Plvl a character to 50 in 3 weeks.
Double or triple boxing makes this easy when you run a druid and or a shammy.
Simple buff up the mage and pet, add damage shield and play havoc. First 15-20 lvls in a cpl hours at most.


RE: Good Grief

I almost hate to post this.
I double box, the only thing I had on the 2nd account that could help was my 52nd wizzy.

With his help I was able to go to 35th in about 4 days of play (8 hours per day for 2 weekends).
35-40 was one weekend.

40 - 45 was another weekend. Also in The Overthere.
Shocked me, I did this solo as I hurt my wrist and could not really dule box.
In the overthere I was getting 1% - 2% per kill (Get a good skin and it will tell you the %)
With the water pet and the focus Item I had almost 0 downtime.

I have played about 5 hours this week, and have gotten to almost 46th in DL soloing.

Ill have 51 easy this weekend. Unless I start on my epic.

So say 8 - 9 days and Ill have 51. And my skills are fine from all the soloing.

I have played the game from Beta 3, so Im not missing anything. And the Mage is sick powerful.

Look for me on 7th hammer.

45th (Heck Ill be 46th in a hour of soloing) Mage

Dude, like I said in my post, not "without a healer class power leveling you the whole way" can you do get 51 levels in 3 weeks. You just can't kill enough mobs in that amount of time without being pl'd, the downtime is just too much.

I agree with you, powerleveling a character for the first 15 levels could be done in a couple hours.

But in the higher levels (35+)when mobs are double tapping for 90 points or more, power leveling only goes so far unless you are making sure that they never touch the character you are powerleveling, i.e. rooting/mezzing.

I have some really good friends in my guild, some of the best people and players I've seen anywhere in the game. I wouldn't ask them to, and don't know even if they'd be willing to take 3 weeks out of their life to power level me for 50 levels. If you do then you'd better make sure you hang on to them because those people are EQ saints my friend.

Just thought I'd try Pl'ing a new cleric... and yes... first 15 levels in 58 minutes. So fairly easy to achieve it would appear.

Mind you, if you really put your mind to it in PL'ing terms you can push the boundaries to excess. There's a post on the AB fourms from someone who PL'ed a froggy cleric a few days after the launch of the new expansion and he's epic'ed it inside 3 days when last I checked he was level 60... Just depends who you know really.

To be honest though I wouldn't have wanted that cleric anywhere near me as its casting skills were shocking to say the least...

You will have to restart the quest. Quest givers take items individually (which is why you get individuals messages such as "I needed four of ..." when you give all 4. The quest giver keeps track of what it has (order does not matter) and will give the reward to whomever completes it. With the JBoots quest, if someone had just given him 3250 gold pieces after you left, they would have gotten the reward.

Words of Alligators
# Nov 06 2002 at 8:37 AM Rating: Decent
Hiya, need some help. I've done about half of the difficult parts for the Epic, but I neglected the easy ones, so I wouldn't fill up my bank with crap. I'm about ready to start doing the easier parts, can anyone confirm that the words drop off alligators that moved out of Cazic Thule into the Ferrott, or do I just need to go after the female magicians in Najena?
RE: Words of Alligators
# Jan 14 2003 at 12:23 AM Rating: Decent
I've been working on my epic as well here in Najena and so far I've gotten the shovel, the broom, and 3 of the 4 pages, all from the magicians. I've not gone to try any of the alligators but I don't see a reason that you would need to. I picked up all 5 of these items in one night hunting there. Like the other person said, on my server as well the zone is empty pretty much 24/7. I've been back once for a couple hours looking for my last page and only encounted 2 people in the zone. If you learn the layout and get the keys you need you can run the trek of magician spawns pretty easily. I've never had to throw a heal on my pet while I'm there, the water pet just slaughters everything. By the time you're done with your run and make your way back to the first spawn point they should be just popping again and you're good to go for another try. You should be able to get all 4 pages and focus items in several hours of play there. Good luck.

I hadn't even begun to think about the epic yet when I camped Najena for 5 nights trying to get the pieces for the pet focus items.

But in looking for those stupid focus items pieces there I managed to, quite easily I might add, get all 4 of the torn Pages of Mastery from the Najena magicians. And since the guy you have to give them to, Akkstaff, spawns right there in Najena there is no sense going to Feerrott. Especially if you are like my mage and KOS to those freakin bouncers in that dreaded swamp.

If you are 34 and have Cinder Bolt, the mages in Najena are one shot death and you don't even need to hassle with their pets, they get snuffed on impact of the Cinder Bolt to their master. A decently equipped 34+ mage can run all over this dungeon dealing wanton destruction in a nuke extravangza.

Besides, its a great dungeon to run around in for random death. The loot can be awesome.

You always have the chance (albeit small) of getting Iron Oxide off of the earth elementals there. The magicians are frequently carrying bronze weapons. The tentacle terrors are worth a quick stop when they are up. Drelzna drops a fairly nice spear. Rathyl downstairs in the jail area has a hella nice weight reducing bag drop if you are lucky enough to get it. Bonecracker in the other end of the dungeon has some nice drops too. So the loot is decent.

And if you think ahead and go go get the key from the Priest of Najena in Unrest for the Mystic Cloak quest you can free Linara Parlone in the jail also and get this quest near complete for a nice cloak.

Kill many quests with one (long) camp in Najena.

And at least on my server there is very little competition for anything in this dungeon. I was typically the only one in there most of the time.

Najena is your one stop mage shop.

I have never tried the gators in Fee myself seeing how as I am Kos there. but I would likely bank on it. The mages are rarely camped on my server and if they are, I ask what they are after. Sometimes you luck out and they are not after what you are after. I lucked out twice. Anyway hope this helps ya =-)

If oyu are searching for Wanlan I can tell you where we ran into each other. Hard to explain so be patient with me(too dumb to get a /loc) OK when facing in from the docks, if you follow the trail it will make a bend to the left. At that bend, when I turned left about 110 degrees, wanlan was about 50 yards off the path.

Walnan is not a rare spawn at all. She is almost always up, unless some one has decided to take target practice on her. She wanders the path in BBM from about where the crazed gobbies are, to the docks. Most of the time you will find her about half way between those points on the side of the hill, stationary. If shes walking around, it usally means some one attacked her and they lost. :)

Now that I look back, I've learned that a great deal of patience is required when hunting Quillmane. I've hunted for (her?) since I was level 28 (I'm 39 now.) First, knowing I would be challanged with the "trackers" hunting down the flying horse, I spent my time researching what others had to say about their experiences. After getting a good idea about what I needed to do, I set out to find her on my own. To tell you how lucky I was... I was looking at the stone mountains north of the Bird villiage and she popped right before my eyes. Woot!.. summoned Fire pet, casted on her 3 times.. brought her down and with excitement... looted the cloak(and I'll have to admitt, I was lucky to loot the cloak the first time also.) Hang in there my fellow Magicians. Don't give up!

I found him on the island at around 1000 -650, you have to look over the entire island. I think he is also not a consistent spawn. I found him on the flat level area on the island twice.

# Feb 11 2002 at 12:56 PM Rating: Decent
After spending hours camping quillmane, to no avail being lvl 56 and really only needing the cloak, i realized something. My understanding is we turn in the cloak to get a spawn in a different zone, if this is true (the walkthrough i have been using was posted along time ago), then why not make that druid/ranger get to lvl 20 then join a spire group...

Then you can track to your hearts content, sure sure got my druid from 20-41 camping a spire (soloing 1 after lvl 30). Killed quillmane everytime it poped (that i saw), and finally 21 lvl's later i got the cloak, camped my mage where he needs to be for the pop (after the druid hands it in, again hoping the walkthrough i am using is correct) so it's now just a matter of getting my druid to be able to turn it in, log and load mage, no biggie.

If your going to be there anyway ya might as well make the character to do it easier, i mean hey i got sick of druids/rangers getting it, so i played their game, had a TON of warrior/rangers try to KS me, but they never did and i got my cloak. Heard awhile back that ya could multiquest the cloak anyway so here's hoping :0)

BTW, quillmane poped, i got cloak zone went down for 2 and quillmane was there when i got back in, another cloak, /who all magician 3 in zone /tell highest lvl mage ya need pegasus cloak right? hehe 2 happy mages.

If ya can't beat them, join them-or play their game better than they play it :0)
RE: work around
# May 16 2003 at 11:14 PM Rating: Decent
You make perfect sense. Verant screwed mages by giving them the hardest epic when it comes to a zillion mobs to be killed, tons of rare drops, and a whole lot of running around endlessly. I am lucky for one thing- on Bertoxxulous server, there arent that many mages with their epic. South Karana is filled with 20-30 in level players at Aviaks and Splitpaw and none of them could care about quillmane...I got the joy of killing it once to get some leggings. I was dissappointed, but it WAS a better item than what I had in my original slot so it turned out okay. (My heart continued pumping adrenaline for 20 mins afterward...needed to go outside and take a walk!!) Most everyone in SK is familiar with me and glad to say if theyve seen quilly up, mainly because I summon stuff and DS them.

Now to get that damn cloak...and race every other ranger and druid to it, even though they don't deserve it! <stupid high level ppl on their PL trips, always ******** the mage over!>

P.S. Quilly spawned at the Bard Well, southeast of Undead Ruins for me. Almost mistook bard npc for another person, was ready to KS then anyways!=P lol

You have to be atleast 46 to get this 1)You have to be plane capable 2) Level listed for the spell is 46 not because I have it because I parsed the spdat file.

i like many mage's keep getting screwed out of my cloak by greedy rangers and druids, luckily i know not all are that way. I am on the morrell thule server and am continually tring to get quillmane, once i do i will be the happiest mage around. Once i get mine i think ill hunt quillmane for other mages =)I wish verant would pull there head out of there rear and make it mage only but i guess they just like to ***** casters.
well thats my 2 cp. if any young mages need help in najena for their focus or getting the pages look me up

#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 26 2001 at 10:24 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Maybe mages should pull their heads out of their asses. The cloak was in the game before epics were, and the item continues to be the only thing in the game with unlimited charges of levitate that doesn't require batwings. So yeah I think I'll keep the two cloaks I have on my two chars that AREN'T mages....thx.

#Anonymous, Posted: Oct 05 2001 at 1:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I have read several post arguing about the ability to hand no drop/ lore items to pets. I have done experiments with no drop weapons (whip from OT off sarnak beserkers). My pet can use and those no drop weapons. The mod rod is a lore item however my pet can duel weild it. Therefor, although i do not have mag epic yet, unless it is a special circumstance, i/you should be able to make the orb, bust out uber pet, give epic to pet, make another and give second epic to pet. Thus having for 1000 mana an uber pet duel weilding 2 epics. lol
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 02 2002 at 9:36 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) duh - as soon as you hand your uber epic quest item to your pet YOU NEED TO RE DO THE WHOLE FRICKING QEST to get another - the first time you zone your pet dies and bye bye first epic
