    NOTE: A patch on March 25, 2015, added a work-around to obtain items from Cazic Thule, Dread, Fright, and Terror:

    In the Plane of Fear, a harbinger of Fear can help adventurers get their epic 1.0 pieces that would normally drop from Cazic-Thule or the golems. These pieces cannot be multi-quested or traded. In addition, a harbinger of Fear can advance the Whistling Fists quest in the same way as Cazic-Thule.

    The Ungrateful Thief

    Kurron Ni appears in the Overthere outpost.

    You say, 'Hail, Kurron Ni'

    Kurron Ni says 'Out of my way, stranger, I am on a delicate mission. Interfere with my search and I shall relieve you of your head! Bother me no more.

    You say, 'What do you seek?'

    Kurron Ni says 'I have traveled here in hopes of finding a soul worthy of assisting me in completing my mission.

    You say, 'I am worthy'

    Kurron Ni says 'I doubt it, but I have been wrong before. Before I share with you the details of my mission, however, you must first prove your worthiness. Agreed?

    You say, 'Agreed'

    Kurron Ni says 'Very well then, my new friend. I have an acquaintance that stands in need of three pieces of Darkforge Armor. He requires the breast, greaves and helm to complete his set. I also must pay back a loan that has come due in the amount of 900 platinum. Return this to me and I shall share with you my dark mission, and the immeasurable reward that will be earned at its completion. Show your face here without fulfilling my request and I will offer you on the altar to Innoruuk himself. Be off!

  • After a hard task of acquiring the requested Darkforge items and 900 platinum pieces, come back to the Overthere. Hand the Darkforge Breastplate, Darkforge Greaves, Darkforge Helm, and 900 platinum all at the same time to Kurron Ni.


  • Kurron Ni says 'Well done, {your name} , I honestly didn't expect to see you again. Yes, yes, this is perfect! My mission is nearly complete!

    Kurron Ni looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'What mission?'

    Kurron Ni says 'My mission was to find a pathetic shadowknight and bring him closer to Innoruuk. You volunteered. By exercising my superior powers of persuasion, I have now taken from you a fine suit of armor and enough coin to ensure that I will be sleeping neither soberly nor alone for quite some time! Now I ask you, worthy shadowknight, do you not feel the fires of hatred coursing through your veins like never before? That is the very reward I spoke of! You have been brought closer to my master. My mission is complete! You foolish excuse for a dark knight, I shall take your head and tell all of your generous donation to the mighty Teir'Dal rogues!

    Kurron Ni punches YOU for 200 points of damage.

    Kurron Ni glares at you threateningly -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You find a Letter to Duriek on his corpse that reads:
    Duriek, I have searched this godless pit for what seems to be an eternity with nothing to show for my efforts. I pray to Innoruuk that you have made some breakthrough in your research. Please update me as to your progress. In the meanwhile I have run into some unexpected expenses and will need some funds to carry on. An additional ten thousand should suffice. Regards, Karnett



    The New Apprentice

    Duriek Bloodpool can be found in Paineel. Hand him the Letter to Duriek you have... found.

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Yes, most unfortunate. I was informed last week of the death of my most recent apprentice. A few months ago, I paid a substantial sum to a group of rogues sent from Neriak to collect on a gambling debt. He swore to me that was the end of it, but I suspected otherwise. My warnings of gambling with the rogues fell on deaf ears.'

    Despite what Duriek tells you, you receive neither item nor money.

    You say, 'What apprentice?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'As stubborn and foolish as he sometimes was, he was full of potential. Had he managed to achieve my age he doubtless would have surpassed my abilities. Though I am not surprised at his passing, he will be sorely missed. Well, I thank you for your efforts. Feel free to meet me in the tavern for a drink sometime. I must now get to the task of replacing my associate.

    You say, 'I will replace him'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Hmm, you seem a bit green and I hesitate to trust you with such an important work, but time is of the essence as my days in this world are running out. Bring me back a bottle of cough elixir and, if you are still interested, I will instruct you further.

    Head to Neriak Foreign Quarter. Find Smaka.

    You say, 'hail Smaka'

    Smaka says 'You want stuff? Or mebby you looks for a cure?

    You say, 'I need a bottle of cough elixir'

    Smaka says 'Ahh, you want me cure?! It cost lots of money, big big secret it is. Only us ogres know how to make. You wants? Only 1000 platinum! Make you feels bedder in no times!

    Head back to Paineel. Hand the Cough Elixir to Duriek.


    Duriek Bloodpool says 'Thank you. Now, quickly, there is not much time for me. What I tell you here now must never be shared with another soul. I have spent the better part of my life piecing together clues for the creation of a legendary dark blade, a corrupted Ghoulbane. I am very close to understanding the method used in manipulating the enchantments of the Ghoulbane, but in my current condition, I cannot finish collecting the research. My previous apprentice was searching for this last clue when he met his untimely demise.'

    Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'where was he searching?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'I possess a key that will open a sealed tome to be found somewhere in the ruins uncovered here not long ago. Recover that tome for me and I am certain I will be able to corrupt the Ghoulbane. My name will be etched in history and you will wield a legend! You must hurry now, and I must return to my studies. Do not return to me, {your name} , without the tome.



    More Work

    You find a Dusty Tome on its corpse.

    Head back to Paineel and hand the Dusty Tome to Duriek.

    Duriek Bloodpool gasps at you in astonishment, eyes beaming with pride and says, 'You've found it! It seems I underestimated you. You have succeeded where others failed. I feared it would never come to pass.' Duriek takes the key from his neck, softly muttering some words, and places it in a previously unseen keyhole. The book's hinges creak as Duriek pulls it open. After reading for a few moments, he says, 'It is even better than I had hoped! It will take me weeks to uncover a portion of what this book has to offer. But this is what I have been searching for, so many years! At last I know the items required to corrupt that accursed blade!'

    Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable.

    You say, 'what items?'

    Duriek Bloodpool says 'I will need the Ghoulbane, the Soul Leech, the Blade of Abrogation, and the Decrepit Sheath. Alas, I am far too ill to travel and collect these pieces. I must call upon your youth and ability again, {your name} . Return to me with these items and I shall be known throughout history as the greatest grave lord to have walked Norrath and you shall be among the most powerful in our art.



    The Corruption

    The Ghoulbane is in possession of the froglok shin lord in the Ruins of Upper Guk. (It also drops from Joren Nobleheart, a Paladin in Southern Felwithe, if you can handle the Level 60 fight.)

    The Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood is in possession of the God of Fear, Cazic-Thule, in the Plane of Fear.

    The Blade of Abrogation is at times carried by monsters in the Plane of Sky.

    The Decrepit Sheath is fashioned by Teydar. He is located in the Qeynos Aqueduct System.

    Teydar looks your way apprehensively -- looks like he would wipe the floor with you!

    You say, 'hail Teydar'

    Teydar says 'Hello {your name} , It's good to see another shadowknight. I'm Teydar, I've made it my life to fashion suitable scabbard and sheaths for our order.

    You say, 'Can you fashion a decrepit sheath?'

    Teydar says 'The object you desire is very difficult to fashion, nearly impossible, really. All I can offer to do is try. The real difficulty is the contents that give the sheath its power. They have to be of an almost equal evil. I think some kind of decrepit hide, a drake spine along with a bar of enchanted platinum should prove enough to make this item.

    Drake Spine can be taken from a drake named Rharzar in Rathe Mountains.

    Rharzar scowls at you, ready to attack -- it appears to be quite formidable.

    Rharzar hits YOU for 288 points of damage.

    Teydar says 'I did it! The pieces you got me were perfect! It took a huge effort on my part to craft this, of course. it saddens me that I'm unable to keep one of my best works. A deal is a deal. There is honor among shadowknights.

    Head back to Duriek and give him the Ghoulbane, the Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood, the Blade of Abrogation, and the Decrepit Sheath.

    Duriek Bloodpool takes the Ghoulbane and places the other swords on either side of it. The sheath begins to gleam so intensely, you can see the bones inside Duriek's hands. After several minutes, there is a final, blinding flash. Duriek collapses to the ground. After a few moments, Duriek motions you closer and whispers, 'You have done well. I wish fate had been kinder to me and allowed me your aid years ago, I might have lived long enough to enjoy the fame our combined efforts. I studied much of the tome you retrieved and have stumbled upon something that may be the key to unleashing darkness upon the face of Norrath forever. You must seek out a powerful lich by the name of Lhranc. Farewell, {your name}.' With his last bit of energy, Duriek places the corrupted Ghoulbane in your hands.

    The Cursed Being

    Lhranc is a ghost in the City of Mist.

    You say, 'hail Lhranc'

    Lhranc says 'Ahh, finally! He has sent you. No time to waste now, you must help me lift the curse at once!

    You say, 'What curse?'

    Lhranc says 'Can you not see my condition! I have been unjustly sentenced to an eternity in this wretched form you see before you, never to leave these walls. In exchange for the cure for this curse, I swear to show you a secret that would make you the most powerful of your kind.

    You say, 'What is the cure?'

    Lhranc says 'I require only four things of you, dark one, and one of them you hold now. Bring me the heart of an innocent, the head of the valiant, and the will of Innoruuk. With these, my curse shall be lifted at last and I will craft a weapon that will cast a shadow over all of Norrath. "one of them you hold" refers to the Corrupted Ghoulbane.



    The Ritual

    In Toxxulia Forest near the dock you may find Knarthenne Skurl, at -5, +1145.

    You say, 'hail Knarthenne Skurl'

    Knarthenne Skurl says 'Ah, you do not possess the heart of an innocent. Be gone with you!

    You say, 'what heart of an innocent?'

    Knarthenne Skurl says 'What's that? Heart of the Innocent, you say?! Ages, it has been, since I was last asked that. The Heart of the Innocent is an item of great power. Few are they who have ever commanded the dark magic of such an object. It is the bound soul of a pure mortal, rare indeed. Take this hollow gem, and combine with it the heart of one who is pure. If your hand is steady and your mind is clear, you shall have what you seek. You get a Soulcase.

    Marl Kastane may be found in Toxxulia Forest at +115, +2135.

    You say, 'hail Marl Kastane'

    Marl Kastane says 'Begone!! You do not have the will to do the things I require!

    You say, 'I have the will of Innoruuk'

    Marl Kastane says 'You speak of a myth, friend. Such an object does not exist in this age and the secret of its creation lies locked in my mind, where it shall stay. It has been passed down through generations in my line, not to be revealed to a soul until the prophecy has come to pass.

    You say, 'What prophecy?'

    Marl Kastane says 'My apologies, {Your name} , I have said too much already. Instead, I have an errand to occupy your thoughts. Take this as proof that you are sent from me and find my brother in Paineel. I haven't spoken with him in some time now and his well being is essential to our family's destiny.

    You get a Seal of Kastane.

    In Paineel, past the elevator, you may find Gerot Kastane. Hand the Seal of Kastane to Gerot Kastane.
    Gerot Kastane says 'At last! I have been waiting for my brother for weeks! We are doomed! Innoruuk will taint our seed into some perverse, twisted, maddened breed. The prophecy has begun to unfold and there are none capable of stopping it. Quickly, return this note to Marl, we must hide! We have failed the master! We must escape the hateful one's wrath!

    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3.

    You get a Note to Marl.

    You say, 'Hail, Gerot Kastane'

    Gerot Kastane says, '{Your name} ! My hero! I am at your service. I have been told to tell you all I know of the Head of the Valiant. Its construction is a mockery to the gods of Light, an abomination above all others. The method of creation of the Head of the Valiant was passed down through my family for centuries. All I require of you is the physical head of a valiant warrior. I have the rest of the materials right here to fashion this item for you.
    Head to Kerra Isle and hand the "Note to Marl" to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane reads the note, eyes widening in panic. He raises his eyes to you and says, 'This is grave news, friend. If the prophecy is allowed to be fulfilled, our strength will vanish into obscurity. Goodness and purity will spread like a plague across the land and the servants of Hate will be powerless to stop it!'

    Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3.

    You say, 'What prophecy?'

    Marl Kastane says 'I suppose it is time for the secret to be shared. Ages ago, two brothers were born. Glohnor was highly favored by the pompous Lightbringer, whose name we do not utter. Lhranc was chosen by the Prince of Hate to bring destruction and turmoil to the sons of men. The one thing they shared in common was their love of the fair priestess, Kyrenna. Kyrenna fell deeply in love with Glohnor. When Lhranc discovered this, he was overcome with rage and unwisely attacked his brother, who happened to be far more adept in combat. The fight cost Lhranc dearly. He lost his dignity as well as an eye in the struggle. He was ordered to leave Freeport and live his life in exile from the only home he had ever known.

    You say, 'What became of Lhranc?'

    Marl Kastane says 'Lhranc wandered the deserts of Ro for weeks, sinking deeper into depression and giving in to rage. Reports from the local merchants and caravans had him roaming the dunes muttering to himself incoherently. Eventually, he was forgotten, blending in with the hermits and madmen common to that region, forgotten by all save one.

    You say, 'Who is the one?'

    Marl Kastane says 'Innoruuk had not forsaken Lhranc. Once his rage and hate had matured and sufficiently altered his soul, the dark prince summoned him and gave him dominion over the demons that had enslaved his mind. He was given a weapon that made him powerful enough to slay any enemy that stood in his way. He was to become the first human to harness the power of the almighty shadowknight. After years of traveling and teaching mankind his newfound abilities, Lhranc sneaked back into Freeport through a series of sewers in search of revenge against his brother and in hopes of kidnapping Kyrenna, the source of his obsession. Waiting until Glohnor was alone, Lhranc sprang from the shadows and slew his brother. This was the act that brought about his curse.

    You say, 'What curse?'

    Marl Kastane says 'As I said, Glohnor was highly favored by the Lightbringer. When the contemptible god of honor discovered what had been done, he transformed Lhranc into a deformed spectral knight and placed him in the ruined city. Lhranc then used what remained of his power to summon Kyrenna to his side and bind her there in a timeless, seamless sphere. He struggled for centuries to break her will and convince her to serve Innoruuk, certain that together they could remove his curse. But then, there was the prediction.

    You say, 'What prediction?'

    Marl Kastane says 'The prophecy states that one day Kyrenna will escape the clutches of Lhranc and that she will resurrect Glohnor. Together, it reads, they will destroy Lhranc and undo all he has done. I trust that I do not need to tell you, {Your name} , that this would decimate our foothold in Norrath. When the prophecy was written, its words spread across the land. A dark council was held to construct a plan that would frustrate the words of the prophets. My ancestors were responsible for robbing Glohnor's tomb and securing his remains. For generations we have been charged with the duty of guarding those remains and the secret plan, should the corpse be discovered.

    You say, 'What secret plan?'

    Marl Kastane says 'The plan is a last resort only to be tried if Kyrenna indeed escapes and the remains are discovered. Judging by my brother's words that time is now. It will take the most powerful hero all the courage and dedication he can muster to complete the ritual.

    You say, 'I will complete the ritual'

    Marl Kastane says 'It would seem we have no choice, and this is our only hope. I must first make a dark shroud. To do this I must stain it with the blood of an innocent. Go find me this rare blood so I can start the creating of the shroud.

    In the Hole, in a jail cell, you may find Caradon.

    You say, 'hail Caradon'

    Caradon says 'Please help me get out of here! My companion, Kyrenna, and I are trapped in this hellish place!

    You say, 'Who is Kyrenna?'

    Caradon says 'I was with Kyrenna when she attempted to revive the corpse of Glohnor the Valiant. Like fools, we rushed into a trap. Now we sit here and await our deaths.'

    You say, 'Where is Kyrenna?'

    Caradon says 'She is close by. For a price, I shall tell you. Bring me the key to my freedom and I will betray her, who sentenced me to this fate.'

    In the city area of the Hole you can find "a chest," which sometimes drops a Cell Key.

    Take the Cell Key to Caradon.
    Caradon says 'Kyrenna! We are free!

    The Ritual Completion or The Mummy Undressing

    Take Blood of Kyrenna to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane says 'Here, you take this shroud. You must now find the spirit of glohnor and place this item on him. This should force him back into his mummified body and then you must destroy this newly raised form and return to me its wrappings.'

    Lhranc says 'Ahh, at last I can free myself of this prison! Centuries have passed since I enjoyed the fruits of mortality.' He hurls the components above his head where they remain suspended in midair. They hover in place while he chants the words of an ancient spell. As he speaks, the items begin to rotate around his head, slowly at first, then faster as the chanting grows louder, until it spins in a blur. Soon, the room is filled with a deafening shriek that pierces you to the core. Lhranc hurls a coin at you and laughs, 'Here is your reward fool.'

    Your faction standing with True Spirit got better. (What is the actual faction hit here?) Receive Lhranc's Token.

    After a brief pause..

    Lhranc says 'Young one, you cannot fathom how long it has been since I breathed air and felt flesh on my bones. I told you I would show you a weapon that would make you the most powerful of your kind. I said nothing of giving it to you. Feast your eyes on Innoruuk's Curse mortal, thank you for your service. At this point, if you are not satisfied with his answer, you better start using some force.

    Auto attack on. Lhranc slashes YOU for 385 points of damage.
    ... You have slain Lhranc! You gain party experience!!

    Lhranc - Level 60 shadowknight - Immune from any spells. Procs a direct damage spell.
    Approximate forces required: three 50+ groups.

    Upon killing Lhranc, Marl Kastane appears nearby.

    Marl Kastane says 'Alas, I cannot be the one to carry the sword back to my people as proof in fear they will kill me to possess it for their own. I think a simple trade is in order, perhaps you have a symbol or token of Lhranc's that I could take back to the others to ease their worries?

    Hand the Lhranc's Token to Marl Kastane.

    Marl Kastane says 'Very good, I will go deliver this right away.'

    You receive the Innoruuk's Curse.

    Your take a negative faction hit to Truespirit faction to 0 out the faction.

    NPC in Toxx Forest
    # Sep 22 2000 at 9:14 PM Rating: Default
    There is what looks like an Erudish guard near the docks, but he clearly isn't a paladin since he has a pet, when hailed... he talks about "the heart of an innocent" ..which for those who know the text from the CoM NPC... is mentioned by him...

    as a side note, he was apprehensive to my shadow knight, and gave me one of those generic run-around statements when I seemed to pull off a good line of questioning... dunno what faction he'd be on

    I was in Fear the other night and an Iksar child was one of the last mob's there. We did not kill it or even see it as the remaining group was not big enough to clear temple(my life story) , but after hearing aobut this innocent heart it sounds like this child might drop it.

    Well sitting in Fear last night on a guild raid, we cleared the path to the Iskar Child. I being a DE SK, conned it, dubious. Later when all was cleared, only living thing was the child we attacked. It died from 1 blow of 50 ish hit and dropped a Tear.

I wasnt able to kill him, cause I was waiting for a rez..cause Vox got me first hehe

    /bonk Arabess :p Bout the Heart of the Innocent I got an idea. Read some posts bout the NPC in Tox and he gives some container with 2 slots. Well here's my idea first get a party and go kill the "whoever" the Pure in Felwithe. See if she even drops anything, if so put it in the container for now then add the item "Childs Tear" off the Iksar Child in Fear. Hit the combine see what happens. I dunno just an idea I had cant be all that bad to give it a shot noting we have so very few leads ATM.

    Actually i was reading about a supposed new event in freeport west. Near the monks guild is a small building. Inside is a little boy named Joshua.
    Sometimes his sister spawns outside, a peason woman or whatever her name is.
    If you talk to her and get a bucket of water from her, go give it to joshua. Supposedly something "pure" emanates from him. So what if we kill him after that? Maybe he's one. Dunno.

    Peasant woman was KOS to my Troll SK, and when I killed her, she dropped nothing except a regular ale (which I happily drunk while standing over her corpse). Her faction hits were Knights of Truth worse, Clerics of Marr worse, Freeport Militia better.

    I don't think she's related, being so low level.

    Has anyone checked Splitpaw yet? Pretty baron zone there for quests really, wouldnt be surprised if there is a new npc or two in there, maybe the soulfire wuss has a bunch of company now or something :) As for the Tainted Darksteel Breastplate being a quest item, thats very obvious, the Zombie chick who dropped it was a royal pain to take out, a Soul Devourer i think it was, 5 ac, no drop, i think its lore. I dont think its necessarily JUST for shadowknights though, as its useable by Paladins, Clerics, Warriors, Shadowknights, Bards. Although the name does suggest Shadowknight. The Gorgon head could be the head of an innocent too, just my summary from the pile of trash posted here, later :)

    There was a new NPC in POH, A large Zombie named : Irak Alitil Conned indifferent to me.
    When I hailed him he said something about a Sword. So i said to him, "what sword ". his reply was: "Hands of a twisted Brother no longer living" noting else he would say. So we killed him. Nothing dropped, after we killed CT we also went and Killed the Iskar child, he dropped a Childs tear, no drop lore. A friend of mine said trhere was a crazy npc in Hate too, named something like Devowerer, he dropped a tainted Darksteel BP ac 5. this might be a good start.

    Hands of a twisted Brother no longer living.

    the keyword being brother and a monk is not a "brother" If you want something to think about, the undead knights in sol ro..they are brothers they are made out of one person torn inhalf, and the first one talks about hishands...

    You can also ask the NPC in fear "what shield"

    I am sure they did, but then again, the swords Painbringer and Fleshripper dropped before the patch as well, and they are part of the Rogue quest.

    Firona Roses were foragable pre-patch, but they are used in the Ranger quest.

    *shrug* Personally, I think we are finally seeing a use for some of the LORE NODROP junk that we have seen dropping off some of the MoBs...

    Where to look...
    # Sep 21 2000 at 2:07 PM Rating: Default
    It is entirely possible that one should look at how Verant would put the hook in the game to get people to play. So lets look at the facts and make some assumptions.

    1) Verant makes money from each individual on a monthly basis. (So the quest will in all likely hood take a LONG time to complete. This means as one of the other posts stated earlier we are talking a lot of zones.)
    2) The weapon is supposed to be special. (This means it is going to be a pain in the *** to get. Probably involve 1 or more trade skills and killing 1 or 2 rediculous mobs - i.e. dragons or gods ala fiery avenger.)
    3) Verant needs everyone to buy Kunark for their stock to go up. (The people at Verant don't give a rats *** about those individuals who bought the program before Kunark came out. You will need to have the new continent for this quest I am willing to bet. The only thing you can be sure of is that you won't need Scars of Velious or whatever it is to finish.)
    4) Most (if not all) of the quest items will be no drop to keep farmers from getting crazy. (I.E. Plane of Sky quests)
    5) People will inevitably kill the NPCs unless they are uber pimp daddy tough. (Keep an eye out for new mid to high 50s NPCs in zones. If Verant has any brains they won't let these NPCs be like the ones for the EBW quest or the slightly less than might Karg Icebear.)
    6) There are not many human SKs (I will try talking to all of the guildmasters in Qeynos and Freeport, there may be some info there.)

    So to wrap it up...

    The quest will take a long time, involve several trips to planes, new NPCs, trade skills and plenty of no-drop items. Keep looking folks and post when you find anything. Hope to hear from ya'll soon.

    Remember guys, the FA took alot of zones to cross, and required you to give up the soulfire and ghoulbane..so expect to have to travel alot, and eventually give up your dark reaver and another weapon..either the prevoiusly mentioned rage maul, or the reaper of the dead...

    I keep thinking about this, and it keeps circling back to the Rogue quest.

    They have to turn in 4 weapons: Painbringer, Fleshripper, GZ, and a Mith 2 hander. Mages turn in 2 VERY powerful staves, and all their focus items....

    I have come to a theory...

    We'll be required to turn in A Dark Reaver, The Rage Maul, Reaper of the Dead, and the Mace of the Shadowed Souls, or perhaps the Noctivagnt Blade (bad spelling, I know)...
    RE: Where to look...
    # Sep 22 2000 at 3:27 PM Rating: Default
    Here's what I gotta say on some of this stuff.




    All I gotta say for the The Rage Maul you better up your Dismal Faction above Indifferent.


    As for the Dark Reaver well camp it in Lower Guk


    Reaper of the Dead I think only Trolls, Ogres and Dark Elves are able to do it. So strach that out.



    Moss is very possiable. It's like another campable item.



    As for anything come from Paineel here's what I say that's out too. Because only Humans, and Erudites can really do Paineel quests. (Check Dread Forge Shield who can use it).




    BUT if the quest spilts into two ways than something from Paineel and that Reaper is ruled in.




    As for other parts there will be something to add. I am in full agreement with the planes theory. In fact I think all the new FA type quests will have something to do with the planes anyways. Just ours I believe will be rough because we might have to get our stuff from Cazic Thule or Innoruuk.






    That's my insights on those. Take care and I am going to check some more zones today for the Shadow Knight quest giver.

    Plus, let's look at this:

    The mages have to turn in not only most (probably all) of their focus items, but the staff from Cazic (or whatever now), and Phinny... So I can only expect that every SK will need their 2 weapons (Reaper and Rage Maul) possibly even the Dark Reaver.

    No further information is to be had, though I was going to run the Reaper of the Dead tonight and see if I can get anything else out of the questgiver...

    I have not completed the Rage War Maul (though I really should..) so now might be a good time to do that....

    Hmmm, ok I am running REAL short on ideas. Best I can think of would be someplace that SKs would go to, but would not be all that "on the beaten path"..

    Has anyone poked around in Befallen or Najena lately?

    I've tried Permafrost, Timorous Deep, Surefall Glade(!), Steamfont, Lesser Faydark and just about every other place I never thought an SK would go with no success. It must be something like the shaman quest where doing one thing triggers it.

    Is it possible that the "turn in items" quest that is on the rogue section (mith 2h, gigantic zwiehander, painbringer, fleshripper) is not actually the rogue quest but the shadowknight quest?

    I read through the item turn in section, and it DOES seem like a VERY rogue-like quest, not becoming of the Shadow Knight VISION that Verant has..... No, I don't think that quest is a part of ours... Though that pouch was an interesting item...

    I don't think it STARTS there, but I am sure that there is a part in Fear, and Hate.

    I am basing this as an assumption on what the other classes have found.

    RE: Magician
    They need to turn in the staff from Kedge and the one that used to drop off Cazic.. Ok, so now we are talking many, many zones.

    I don't believe the SK weapon starts in some place like Fear (all other classes are starting in the Old World continents...)

    My best bet is it'll be some place SK's don't normally go, though all other quest NPCs seem to be in neutral areas (not any of the alligned towns...)

    There is a new Gix in Kithicore.. Has anyone tried talking to him???
    RE: IT starts in fear
    # Sep 21 2000 at 1:17 PM Rating: Default
    Yes, we tracked him down yesterday. The new Gix will not respond to our questioning at all.

    kizdean gix wouldn't respond to utalk adarev otcin from me anymore in west commons; trying for a new reaper, but I think I'm too high to get the quest anymore(just got 38). maybe you should get someone around level 20ish to hail him? or maybe you have to give him an item of some sort. ill get back on this after I get a 20ish de sk to talk to him in wc, and then go track down the new gix.

    Two options:

    1. (my personal fav) Pay a young'n to intiate the quest for you.

    2. Kill Gix.

    Kizdean still respawns(and gives me Llrod's note) at 54. Maybe you hurt your faction, or misspelled one of the words?

    Or maybe was invis and didnt notice (NPC's wont respond to hails from invised PC's) Or you may have changed the target mid-say

    # Sep 23 2000 at 1:56 PM Rating: Default
    hmmm, that's odd. I haven't hurt my faction with the dead at all, maybe it was just something like a spelling error, and I'm pretty sure I wasn't invis either. ohwell, guess that throws my lil' theory out the window.

    RE: IT starts in fear
    # Sep 21 2000 at 3:34 PM Rating: Default
    well I dont think it starts in Fear, but may involve having to go there...Judging by the notes dropped in CoM it does...the notes states something about a Froglock invasion of some kind and that day the king appointed a new priest to cazic thule (which may be the new NPC in fear)..it also stted that the Kings wife is missing...

    Im trying to remember all this from memory forgive me for any errors

    if you see anything drop off gods that is out of the ordinary post under this thread. ive heard rumors of quest involving loot from CT, inno, etc. the post with topic "dudes!" may not be far off.

    Possibly,

    BUT, keep in mind no other quest is involving so many of the Alter Planes.. I highly doubt Shadow Knights would be targeted for such a thing. I'd hate to think that everyone else could complete major components of their quest weapon in the "old world" and Kunark, and we had to traipse the Planes to even start ours....

    Sorry,

    I intended on saying that the other quests START in the normal lands, and I don't think ours starts in the Alter Planes...

    And remeber Vox and Naggy are out of the questions since anyone level 53+ cant even fight them!

    Mmmm, BUT... The new "zone dragons" in Kunark drop the same loot as Vox and Nagafen... So I'd not rule them out COMPLETELY...

    # Sep 21 2000 at 1:51 PM Rating: Default
    I was going www.eqnecro.com and someone mentioned that after a Cazic raid (Fear?), a named Gorgon spawned. They said it wouldn't talk to anyone (didn't arggo?) so they killed it. When they deaded it, it dropped a head. So whatever it is you're looking for, might not even come off the gods.

    Did they have an SK with them?

    There is a high probability PART of the quest is in one (or more) of the Alter Planes.

    There is also a decent potential of the Spectre in City of Mist...

    I found the NPC too. He must be a triggered spawn because after he is killed he don't come back for a long time. It seems he is likely triggered.

    Unfortunately he is apprehensive to my troll sk(and anotehr one we brought in to test it) so we could not get him to speak.

    Gharg Oberbord an Sk in FOB is now dropping an item. Helping friend SK Iksar try to find start to quest and killed this guy after getting no responses as usual. It is called a Sythrax Building Plans LORE, NO DROP. Dropped it twice in a row. Probably a long shot but might be part of quest later on or completely different quest at that. Posted this here cuz he is SK and it seems we are not getting very far compared to the other classes. Also posted this on other sites under quests as well. Any info on this item would be great even if it isnt part of the weapon quest. Hopefully it is cuz its not that hard to get at 51. One more thing. There used to be about 25 to 30 skeles in the lair. Well now there is 10 to 15.

    # Sep 21 2000 at 12:55 PM Rating: Default
    I highly doubt our quest -starts- in CoM, reading the text that he says leads me to believe that there are other steps required before you reach this guy...and those steps give you the faction necessary to talk with him.

    Couple people have brought this ghost up, but according to a Troll SK and another (he did not identify the race) they were apprehensive...

    Oh PLEASE tell me this has nothing to do with the Greenbloods.. (Was working on getting a guildmate and friend batskull earrings.. UGH)..

    Was watching my friend play her monk and she was killing the Dervs in the camps in NRo. they are now dropping Vials of Human Blood. Now we all know only DARK and EVIL things collect blood. maybe this has something to do with the necro and/or SK Uber Weapon quests.

    This Tier'Dal camp actually ties in with the 3rd Symbol of Innoruuk quest (Cleric/Shaman item). Don't think this has any bearing on the SHD quest.
