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..

the Master of Elements...
# Oct 02 2000 at 4:22 PM Rating: Default
Hello Cardulus here lvl 55 magician... yesterday was in sky and I looked for where i think the master of elements normally was... he wasnt there.

In his place was a shadowman type mob with no weapons (totally invisable) called "A pressence" coned blue to me and yellow to a 49th magician and coned indiffernt. on island 4 look at island 3 on the left hand side till you see a TOTALLY blank island (no mobs but the presence and no teleporter) keep clicking around the island till you find him.... we made eye of zomms and got a closer look so i know for a fact he is a shadowman type mob..... was thinking either he acks as the Master of Elements and has something to do with our quest. if anyone finds out how to actually get on that island please tell me

No, I think that 'a presence' is for the monks? I read they need to kill one up in Air called 'a presence' and is exactly as you described . . .
Tears of Erollosi
# Oct 02 2000 at 1:25 PM Rating: Default
I am curious. other than Capt. Rottgrime, do any other mobs drop the tears of erollosi?
As a Dark Elf elementalist, I am betting there are bad faction hits for me if I participate in killing the capt.

also is Tilbner Milnik near any guards wandering or otherwise? I hope I don't need to raise my FV faction just to be able to complete this quest.

A friend of mine said that he got the Burning Embers off of a named wurm in Sky Fire called Black something or another. He said that any of the named wurms in Sky Fire can drop the Embers, but that was the particular mob it was off of.
If you have questions come on over and give me a tell.

i think he's refering to black scar he's a named drake who has a chance to drop spells also. most spells droped by these named in skyfire are 55+
CoH has droped there also.
notes: these mobs are around level 50 some summon
4-6 people recomended but not required. 2 level 54 mages can take one down that doesn't summon.

Hey Mr Anonymous. Why don't ya lay off the OTHER classes that are just trying to help. Being he's NOT a mage I don't expect him to read all of our posts. Why would he? He's got no reason to. Besides... he's giving us information, that although we did know... maybe we didn't. People like you that yell, flame, scream and moan at people that are giving us information (whether known or not) make the people that DO read the posts NOT want to post any info cause it's just recieved with bad responses. So just LAY OFF. Or do you read EVERY post on the cleric section BEFORE you post on possible cleric leads.

Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone.

sigh...... You don't seem to be getting the point of my post. I am sick and tired of people not taking the time to read posts on a subject before they post, causing duplicate data. I'm not being ****, it just pisses me off. It also angers me when people like you think that I'm **** because of it. Now drop the subject, and lets keep looking for the elemental binder.

I have found some information that needs to be added to the page. First(words of Magi'Kot) - The Words of Magi'Kot Pg. 1 that is said to be off of a Enraged Dread Wolf, I looted the page off of a regular Dread Wolf. The Words of Magi'Kot pg. 3 can be off of The Bloodthirsty or the Frenzied Ghoul in Lower Guk. Second( Power of the Elements) - The Power of Earth is looted off of the Faery Guards not the Faerie Guards, I didnt think there was a difference but i guess Verant does. Third(Torn Pages of Mastery) - I looted the Water page from Rythal's Reincarnate, the Fire from a Darkbone Skeleton, the Wind from Ekeros and teh Earth from a Goblin Magician. My thinking is that the loot for the pages is level based, such as any MOB over lvl 19 could have a page for loot. So can you say, DUNGEON CRAWL, I knew you could.
RE: imcomplete spoiler
# Oct 07 2000 at 3:41 PM Rating: Default
There are no "Faery Guards". In Lesser Faydark, there are "faerie guards" and "fairy guards". Both have a chance at dropping the Power of Earth.

I found this gnome in an SMR in Steamfont at location neg 1340 neg 1420.

When you hail him he says "Hail Traveler! I sense you did not simply chance upon my isolation here, but are instead seeking me for something."

Hope this info helps

Still No Walnan!!
# Sep 30 2000 at 4:11 AM Rating: Default
I know it has been told where to find her but I have yet to see someone post ecaxtllay how to get her to either spawns or what her spawn time is. Is there anyone out there that knows this info?
If ya are looking for Walnan then read
# Oct 02 2000 at 12:26 AM Rating: Default
One final time so that you know...Walnan de-spawns as soon as someone gives her the powers. She comes back at random times, lasting 20 minutes to a few days. She IS NOT a forced spawn so dont bother. Your best bet is to stand at Kaladim and use sense summoned. I say to stand here because if you are too close to the docks, you will pick up the magi pet that spawns there...And she spawns pretty much anywhere between Kaladim and the docks. I found her on three seperate days...Once in front of the dock entrance, once on the path, and once in the mountains to the right, past the grave yard from the docks.

Thats the best that I can help you....You just have to be patient, and keep trying. You may end up missing her on your server because someone gave her the powers 10 minutes before you got there.

She depops after you turn in her portion of the quest to her. My thought is that you need to complete the quest before hers (the pages of Magi'Kot) in order to get her to spawn since most people would likely head over to find her as soon as they did that. Verant uses this forced spawn a lot in order to prevent people from skipping too far ahead in quests.

At least, I certainly hope not, since my level 5 cleric over on Tholuxe Paells talked to her when she was wandering in front of the entrance to Kaladim. If doing the quest is a prerequisite to her spawn, something was seriously wrong with the "newbie" server. :)

RE: Still No Walnan!!
# Sep 30 2000 at 8:36 AM Rating: Default
First of all, as mentionned earlier, neither bringing the token from rykas to jashon,nor completing the magi kot page part of the quest triggers Walnan s spawn.
I had been looking for Walnan every hour for a bit over 2 days, killing the gnome at docks (no faction hit) and sometimes the undead bishops at chessboard to make sure there was no other pet in the zone. Eventually she spawned (i found her halfway between kaladim and the docks, closer to docks and a little off the path on the north wall, not moving) and i turned the powers. She depopped and I went back to other business. Half an hour later i received a tell from another mage who knew i was looking for her and that told me she was up... So she is not a timed spawn either. Maybe random spawn time...

Well all I know bout this dang spawn is I been here for 2 days now. Total of 13 hours, and no spawns of her at all. Killed that poor little gnome more times then I can count, and she still hiding under a rock somewhere. Talk bout a discouraging quest... and I thought the quilmane part of the quest would be bad. Silly me. They decided to make the hole thing disgustingly time consuming.

Holy dirt of Brell is a drop off Elementals, not rock golems. so i would guess the Dirt of Underfoot might indeed be random on rock golems, though quite rare. It's probably a common drop off some named. Can't confirm though, MM crashed juste before we jump in the pit yesterday(.

The quest giver says this..

Tiblner Milnik 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.'


*points to "slix something or other"*

Another player pointed out the name is "Slix the mighty" a rat of sorts in the hole and he drops "dirt of the underfoot"

Now someone go camp this silly rat and post a webpage where we can get screenshots to clear this all up.

I sussect though the reason i had trouble getting air, was it was in a seperate part of the dungeon to where i got the others.

I could'nt seem to find any info in the posts, but have "we" found an NPC asking for the 4 elements yet ? (we get element of water from Jinalis Andir in DC, etc) ? if not i have a theory :)

we get the orb of elements from Rykas, meaning that SO far, when we complete all the quests we have 5 items.. what IF, the we can insert the elements of (insert the 4 names here) into the orb, as we complete the quests along the road? so when we get the orb and the elements of water, we actually have a working "FA" item, which gets stronger(or more usefull) as we insert the rest of the elements??? just an idea, coz the idea abou summoning a pet with the abilities of all our pets, kinda suck... not many ppl use earthpets in a dungeon when it cancels snare....

Well either you are not very bright or have never really fought in a dungeon then. What is the worst thing a MOB can do in say Upper Guk??
Run for friends when low on HP's. If he is snared then he will still continue to run & possibly train. If you are using an earth pet he will be rooted & unable to train.

Wow what kind of player is this, I know my level is not high enough when comparing with you. But what your message is far too stupid for a Magician. I can't image how you get up to level 51. With a Earth pet, it's root doesn't work all the time, and as higher the level you get, the less chance the mob that give you experience will be able to be root by an Earth pet. You are already a level 51 Magician and still using Upper Guk as an example, at least u would have use Lower Guk as an example, which an Earth Pet in there will cause a big train, because it's root is not working WELL. I don't think you have been grouping in Sebilis at all. Please don't send any message like this in a board that is so important to all truely EXPERIENCED players to gain important information on.

You made 51 and you think an earth pet is good in the majortiy of dungeon groups? Thank god I'm not on your server. Then again you're 51 and your best dungeon example is UPPER Guk, so we have no reason to take you seriously.
RE: missing NPC ?
# Sep 27 2000 at 7:17 AM Rating: Decent
i would hardly call it a statement, and your flame is totally beside the point...

would you rather trust your pet to root the mob, fool, but i guess when you go to kunark/sebilis you will learn that... you cant trust the pet to root, and if the mob is snared, it shouldnt be able to run far enough to train....than to let a druid snare it ? then youre the

but then again, you play your way, and i play mine

and when i say "not many ppl" i mean on the server I play on.. it might well be that all the mages on your sever use earthpets in dungeons, but thats not the case on "mine", and THATS what i was refering too...

bt my post was actually about what our weapon might be, and not trying to lecture any1 in what is the best way to play, and neither should you btw, as i think you will learn later on that our earthpet dosent belong in a dungeon when druids/clerics/wizards will do the job better..

It's believed that Rykas gives you a tome which talks about the different elemental orbs (Jallus in Skyfire later asks for the Tome from Rykas). Then, each master gives you the certain orb for each element... fire, earth, water, and air. My guess is that after turning the items in to the guy in PoA for the air orb, he'll tell you who to talk to next to turn the things in. imo, it will be another npc in PoA, perhaps a triggered spawn, much like Inte Akari for the FA. Again, just speculation, but seems to make sense for a quest of this caliber.

Slixen Klix in Burning Woods is for the Veeshan's Peak Key quest, so I highly doubt we have to kill him. Slizik the Mighty is a named imp in the Hole, I believe... spawns in the same room as another named imp.. someone the Flighty. Would make sense for Dirt of Underfoot to drop here also, as everything here has to do with Brell and Underfoot.

updated location info.


This list was compiled from posts here, many thanks to all who contibuted.
Marox 50 mage Povar put it together,
Runemaker 53 Mage Povar.
Rune after item list, confirmed and obtained by Runemaker
any notes or comments please add. some Loc of the npc would be nice.


I Tome of Rykas in Lake Rathe (get coin from Rykas to start)

Rykas asks for 3 pages of magi'kot to be taken to Jahsohn Aksot in WC.
A. Words of Magi’Kat from Jahsohn Aksot in West Karanas
1. Page 1 from Dread Wolves in Kithkor Forrest
2. Page 2 from and tentacle Terrors in Unrest Rune
3. Page 3 from Bloodthirsty Ghouls in Lower Guj

Once you give Jahsohn the pages he gives you the Words of Magi'kot and says, “Rykas may have been right about you, Frizdag. 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, Frizdag!)


B. Power of Elements from Walnan in Butcherblock by graveyard toward mt.
1. Power of Fire from Blazing Elemental in Sol A Rune
2. Power of Earth from Fairy Guards in Lesser Faydark Rune
3. Power of Wind from Dancer Gypsy in Mistmoore Rune
4. Power of Water from Raveners in Kaesora Rune

Once you give Walnan the powers she gives you the Power of Elements and 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 Xiff, you do not wish to miss the ship!"


C. Words of Mastery from Akkstaf in Najena just inside Najena
1. Torn Page of Master Water from Magician Najena Rune
2. Torn Page of Master Fire from cazic thule?
3. Torn Page of Master Air from
4. Torn Page of Master Earth from cazic thule?
It is speculated that once you give Akksstaf the torn pages he gives you the Words of Mastery. You will then turn these into Rykas to get the tome you need for the Fire quest



II. Orb of Air from Kihin Solstin in Plane of Air
A. Crown of Elemental Mastery from NOT Greater Sphinx on Island 7 which drops the Sphinx Crown, must be closer in.
B. Elemental Binder from
C. Pegasus Cloak from Quillmane in South Karanas

III. Orb of Earth from Tilbner Milnik in Firiona Vie -1482.55, -3238 and headed south
A. Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth from minions of Hate
B. Dirt of Underfoot from the hole? (Slix something or the other)Slizik the Mighty in the hole possibly drops Holy Dirt of Brell.... Slixin Klex In burning wood....
C. Broom of Trilon from Temple of Solusek Rune
D. Shovel of Ponz from Temple of Solusek Rune

IV. Orb of Fire from Jennus Lyklobar in Skyfire Mountains just past druid evac on left
A. Torch of Elements from Neh’Ashiir in City of Mist
B. Blazing BURNING Embers from named wurm in Burning Woods
C. Blazing Wand from Undertoe in Kedge Keep
D. Tome of Rykas from quest above

V. Orb of Water from Jinalis Andir in Dagnor’s Cauldron near orc camp
A. Staff of Elemental Mastery: Water from Phinigel Autropos in Kedge Keep
B. Rain of Karana from Tarbul Earthstrider (named hill giant) in East Karanas
C. Tears of Erolisi from Captain Rottgrime in The Overthere Outpost

Um, I'm a paladin so I don't know much about your quests but when you mention Dirt of Underfoot, you may be looking for Soil of Underfoot. You get this from Priestess Ghalea in the clerics guild in Northern Kaladim by giving her four fairy dust. You need to have very good faction to get it from her. The soil is used by paladins for our Ro armour and for the Holy Partisan of Underfoot. Just trying to help.

I'm not too sure about this. Verant has said that every possible race for a particular class can complete their quest. Putting part of the quest in Kaladim makes it extremely difficult for dark elf magicians to do. I would seriously hope spending days of faction hunting isn't a necessity for the quest.

Then again, it is Verant we're talking about.

Sorry all I hit enter by mistake ok. Someone asked is Walnan force spawn it doesn't look like it me and friend one staying in BB and one going out to do first part Words of Magi'kot. We both set out to find out well after finishing the Magi'Kot part we found that she still didn't spawn so it is safe to say she is not forced spawn.

A brief rebutal on this, whether it is applicable to this spawn or not, yet it is. Rogue epic requires a turn in to Yendar in Steamfont. You can spawn him by talking to his brother in Gnome town (Ak'Anon? sp? Too lazy to look up the spelling) next zone over.

Problem with Walnan is that she is in an area infested with NPC killers, and that every time a magician complete her quest, she dissapear.

She spawns in the area behind the graveyard, near the mountains there. Wanders from there towards the road and towards Kaladim.

If she is at the spawn point, you will not always see her pet with sense summoned, because theres a gnome magician at the docks with a pet. But you should be able to get Walnans pet on your target if you move around a bit, if she is spawned.

Ok i also tried bringing the token from Rykas to Jasohn to make Walnan spawn. i gated to BB right after giving the token and saying i got it from rykas. Walnan wasn't up. So she indeed doesn't seem to be a triggered spawn.. Thanks for te infos on her spawn point, but what graveyard are you refering to? not chessboard? i couldn t find any graveyard (not very familiar with BB though..). anyway i killed the undead bishops (they have pets) at chessboard and killed the gnome at docks and there were no NPC pets in the whole zone..

Quoted from EQ message board, Bug reports :

it's not broken....'

So either we face again a problem with Verant staff not agreeing with what many players have reported, etiher there is some twisted way to read Aakstaff's text and to find the three missing torn pages of mastery (it's a fact that they're not dropped in Najena)..
Did anyone camp a long time the crocs of CT green pool? The loot tables being related it might be easier to obtain the missing parts there. Otherwise, Aakstaff mentions than Najena followers 'delight in punishing trespassers'. Would it be possible that some rogues managed to steal 'her treasure' without being caught? Linara and the injured halfling, as well as one TT, are imprisonned in the jails..

I've seena lot of posts saying it starts with Rykas, but so far it doesn't look like it does. Rykas quests so far seem to be no more than a subquest for Jennus (fire orb) quests. When you collect the items Rykas gives you, it's assumed he gives you a tome, which Jennus asks for as part of his quest.

We've yet to find any NPC that asks for the four elemental orbs. Until someone posts a point where Rykas or any other NPC asks for the 4 orbs, I think we should assume that we haven't found the start NPC yet.

Okay, after looking at all the boards I've decided in my own mind (I'm a big fan of statistics if you haven't noticed) that there is little reasonable explantion for our Najena problems other than a bug, so let's put that behind us and work on what we do have.

If we assume that at some point Najena mobs will drop all the mastery words, and further assume that turning in all those words will result in Rykas' Tome, that still leaves a few unfound items:

Torch of the Elements has yet to be conclusively found. There's a lot of third party saying about it dropping in CoM, yet there are many raiding parties (including my guild) that have gone there and haven't found anything. Can I get a reply from someone who has one IN THEIR POSSESSION. Not you saw it drop or anything, someone who has it. The other popular route for it is Dalnir.

Burning Embers. Again a lot of posts saying a lot of things, any who has it IN THEIR POSSESSION? If not, it's only two zones, which is a much smaller area than we've dealt with on other items we've found. Burning Woods or Skyfire.

Elemental Binder. It's air, it's the hardest one, none of the simple stuff like water's is. This is another quest in itself or off a tough mob. We have both of the other items limited to two zones. All we know about the binder is it is non-planar. I'd suggest the majority of our resources go here guys. Some thoughts on it:

Our Epic Quest is supposed to take us all over the world. Kunark is well covered (Dalnir/CoM, Burning Woods/Skyfire, Kaesora, FV, Overthere) as is Faydark (Lesser Fay, MM, Unrest, Kedge, BB). On Antonica we do a lot in the eastern half and southwest (Najena, Sol A, Lower Guk, Kithikor, Lake Rathe, some elements dropping in CT) Only two elements drop west of highpass and north of lake rathe: Pegasus Cloak and Rain of Karana. That's a small number of drops for the multiple zones there. Odus only has three non-allied zones: The Hole, Tox, and Kerra Ridge. We need dirt from the hole.

Keep in mind that only in the mastery words, focus items, and in the case of kedge do we receive more than one quest item from a given zone.

Let's find that tome.

A little p.s. thought for the day: Nobody has acquired Rykas' Tome yet, it is possible that it is a powerful artifact in itself. It seems doable at the same levels of the focus items. Perhaps we'll be pleasently surprised when we finish that part of the quest.

We just got a drop of the Torch Of Elements tonight on Sol Ro. It is indeed in City of Mist up at the very top when you get the Reaver at the very top of the zone to spawn D*somthing (Didn't think to pay much attention to the name)... Torch is evidentally it's common drop and a shield is it's rare.

Just a suggestion but...Elemental Binder...meaing container...maybe its the Elemental Grimorie? I mean leave it to verant to make us use an item we havent used since level 49. After all it is useless after researcing your 49 spells, maybe this is supposed to be our chance to get rid of it? Just a thought

welp we offed nah ashir 4 times the other night no torch.

there have been some scrolls in CoM since patch thinking they maybe had something to do with a quest my guild spent some time translating them.
as it turns out there basically just story/info tools about CoM. Nah ashir was Rak Ashir's wife.
Lord is typically a male noun. i seriously doubt Nah ashir is the "doomed lord of merchants". Rak Ashir might be...

on the torn mastery pages there seems to be a little loot table sharing between CT and najena. remember our focus item quests? they specified najena but worked with CT componenets. these 3 prilim quests i dont think are meant to be very hard the other 2 certainly werent. the loot tables in najena seem messed up to me. did magicians and such always drop rat whiskers bat fur and fresh fish? i think not..

my moneys riding on the its broken thought =).

sure verant claims they tested the quests thoroughly but then it took them 1 year to work out magi pets didnt dual wield even tho hundreds of us told them every day.

Actually the torch does drop in CoM, I got mine off the guy that drops the Ornate Rune Shield, although he didn't drop the shield that time.

The Torch is confirmed to drop off of Nah'Ashiir in CoM. It was dropped on the Innoruuk server on a raid by the Pantheon (Check the Castersrealm boards and look for the post by Raloon, level 60 enchanter) Yes, I personally do not have it, but his word that it drops there and that it dropped for them is enough for me.

Do you have a torch so that you know it is it?

Do you have the pages?

A Gnomish Mage in CT
# Sep 25 2000 at 11:58 AM Rating: Default
While helping out a few guild mate I found a little gnome mage called "A GNomish Mage" in a small prison.

He was located past teh double doors and down teh end of teh corridor on your right in the last room before you exit out to the round open area on the way to the brown temple.

He did not answer to any hails and just stood there doing nothing.

Im not sure if hes part of the mage quest but i dont remeber there being an imprisoned gnome in CT before.

The gnome in the cage in CT has been there for as long as I can remember, so I suspect he has nothing to do with this quest.
