To this... Milon
A) You are a horrid speller. You have raped the english language. Stop it.
B) As much as, being a Tier'Dal SK, the thought of gnome Sk's upsets me so, in the OOC world, also dubbed the "Real" world, it's down to the player who would win. Two characters, of the same class and gear, will not have the outcome determined as much by stats of race as much as dueling skill and the random luck of resists, DPS rolls, etc etc etc.
C) You assume victory, which already adds to your chances of defeat.
D) On the overall, you seem a pompous moron, and that, combined with your spelling, if you call it that, makes me belive you are 12ish, no life, sitting in your parents basement, which you will only leave to come to the dinner table to regale Tunare, The Mother, or simply "Mom" with stories of how you "owned this newb", most of which are lies.
Please remove yourself from EQ. You disgust me.

Shadowknight Epic: Innoruuk's Curse
| Quest Started By: | Description: |
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.

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! 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! Your faction standing with TrueSpirit got better. 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 have slain Kurron Ni! You gain party experience!!

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.' Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3. You gain experience!! Duriek Bloodpool looks your way apprehensively -- he appears to be quite formidable. 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! Hand 1000 platinum to Smaka. Smaka says 'Okay, enjoy me drink! Your faction standing with DarkBargainers has been adjusted by 3. Your faction standing with DreadguardOuter has been adjusted 1. Your faction standing with DreadguardInner has been adjusted 1. You get a Cough Elixir. 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.' Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3. 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 Head to the Hole and find a ratman guard.

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!' Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3. 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. ... You have slain Rharzar! You gain party experience!! Rharzar - Level 55 cleric - Immune from all spells but tap line, poison/disease DoTs, and lure line. Approximate forces required: two 50+ groups.

You have slain an ashenbone drake! You gain party experience!! Hand the Drake Spine, the Decrepit Hide, and the enchanted platinum bar to Teydar. 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. Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 5. Teydar looks your way apprehensively -- looks like he would wipe the floor with you! You get a Decrepit Sheath. 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. Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 3 You get a Corrupted Ghoulbane. 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! Your faction standing with Truespirit got better (What is the actual faction hit?) Kyrenna punches YOU for 157 points of damage. Caradon punches YOU for 157 points of damage. ... You have slain Kyrenna! You gain party experience!! You have slain Caradon! You gain party experience!! Caradon - Level 55 paladin - Is not immune from any spells. Approximate forces required: one 50+ groups. Kyrenna - Level 55 cleric - Immune from any spells. Approximate forces required: one 50+ groups. You get Blood of Kyrenna and Heart of Kyrenna from her corpse. 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.' Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 5. You get a Dark Shroud. In the ghost area of the Hole you may find a Ghost of Glohnor. Hand the Dark Shroud to it. Shortly after a Mummy of Glohnor will appear. When you kill the mummy you will get the Head of Glohnor and the wrappings. Mummy of Glohnor - Level 55 ? - Immune ? Approximate forces required: two 50+ groups. Bring the head to Gerot Kastane. Gerot Kastane says 'Good travels, dark one! May Innoruuk curse your enemies!' Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 5. You get the Head of the Valiant. Bring the wrappings to Marl Kastane. Marl Kastane says 'You've done it! Your efforts will stand as a tribute to our kind for time eternal, my friend. Although nothing could possibly serve as a just reward for your accomplishments, please accept this as well as my eternal gratitude. It has been fashioned from the wraps of the mummy and shall protect you well.' Your faction standing with TrueSpirit has been adjusted by 5. You get the Will of Innoruuk. Combine the Heart of Kyrenna with the Soulcase to produce the Heart of the Innocent. The Lift of the Curse or Back to the Dead Head to City of Mist and hand the Corrupted Ghoulbane, the Heart of the Innocent, the Head of the Valiant, and the Will of Innoruuk to Lhranc. 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. | |

Go to shadowknight.org, use the search engine and look for "seal running"
Basically if you can do the seal running between the 2 brothers about 8-12 times depending on race you can by-pass all money costing parts (which are all only to build faction anyway)

Pay me $400,000 and I'll get it for you.
NO, you cannot, not even in a dream. You MIGHT be able to MQ some of it, but not at level 30. You can level to 60 faster than you can quest this anyhow. Go level up first.

At 48 my SK has all for her epic minus the last fight, i took her to hate air and fear for all the drops, didnt buy anything MQ.
i started her at lvl 30 killing for Darkforge crap, by the time she was 46 took her to hate got her 48 by the time the hide dropped, air and fear were a one run shot and the swords dropped.
You can do the epic faster then getting 65 from 30, just takes patience.

PLUS, the planes where u must go to get the no drop stuff...they are restricted to players lvl 46+ (i think...correct me if im wrong)

Just before I waste my time (and my hard won planar drops), will the quested Ghoulbane work as well as the one which drops off the Froglok Shin Lord? Are they definitely the same sword and it's just two different ways of getting it?
I wouldn't want to hand the 4 things over only to be told that he wouldn't take the quested sword and I'd have that struggle to get the dropped one and MQ it for myself before any other person does their own hand-in! :)

Yes indeed. The quested ghoulbane and the drop ghoulbane from the Shin Lord are EXACTLY the same weapon, right down to the EQ item ID. Either one can be used for the SK epic or the Paladin epic.
When it says "You take out of his hands the Innoruuk's Curse." does that mean you loot it or is it teh text message you receive and the item appears on your cursor after hes dead? I ask because if you mearly loot it could some people with WAY too much time on their hands get the epic with a lvl one SK? I mean if teh final item is looted off Lhranc in theory it would work right. Well I am willin to assume its a text message and the epic isnt actually looted but ya gotta admit seein a lvl 1 SK with epic would be hilarious ;).

As far as I know it used to be that way until they fixed it. The quest text should probably be updated to include:
"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.''"
...at which time you see a nodrop coin in your inventory. Once Lhranc is killed Marl Kastane pops, you hand him the coin and he gives you the sword.

Early in September we spent several hours in PoHate helping a guildie chanter get her last epic drop (vampire essence) which was very rare. I knew the ashenbone drakes dropped the decrepit hide so I kept my fingers crossed in the hopes it *might* drop as well. On the second day (after maybe 30-40 drakes) our MLer knelt down and spent just an extra few seconds there, then in group chat she said there was a decrepit hide on the corpse(!). Moments later I looted it and stuffed it safely into my backpack, and so began my quest for Innoruuk's Curse.
I initially planned to do the quest legally from start to finish. In the end I skipped around so in order to avoid losing any pieces due to faction problems on *every* turnin I handed the item to the NPC then hit my HIDE button and /conned the NPC, making sure I was indifferent, then completing the trade (the shadowknight epic stays apprehensive throughout, just different levels of apprehensive. An indifferent /con bypasses any skipped steps).
Kurron Ni was up when I went to find him, pulled him outside of the wall and took him down with a group of 55ish people, although it was a rough fight. Turned the note in to Duriek Bloodpool, got him his cough syrup and was told to fetch the "Dusty Tome" from the Hole.
In Rathe Mountains I slaughtered everything on drake hill until Rharzar popped (about 30 minutes later) and easily took him down with a cleric and a bored monk.
Camped chests in the bank area of the Hole with a single group (a key dropped on the fifth chest). Turned it in to Caradon and tried to FD split he and Kyrenna but eventually we had to kill both of them.
The Blade of Abrogation was farmed from the Spiroc Lord in PoSky and dropped after the 25th or so kill. In his hand it looks like an old-world 2hs, whereas the warrior sword drop looks more like a fancy 1hs.
Glohnor was still difficult to get to (after the revamp the pally and shammy epic mobs were moved closer to the city area but Glohnor stayed in his original spot and they raised the difficulty of getting to him). Trying to keep the undead tower cleared was a real challenge (three groups) so at one point our puller cleared a path to Glohnor and during the pull a pally and I raced up to give the shroud to him, the pally IVUed me for the trade and we ran back to camp. Very soon a skelly came charging from the tower all the way to our camp and was easily taken down at that point.
The Soul Leech did not drop for me after three Fear raids but I was able to pay for a MQ. Using the same hide/trade technique the MQ went smoothly and the Corrupted Ghoulbane was the last piece I needed.
I took three groups to City of Mist (65 warrior MT, 65 SK 2T, two clerics and whoever else I was able to get on such short notice). The fight lasted what seemed like a minute but in that time half the raid force was slaughtered, not so much by melee but by Lhranc's 500-point DD. Both MTs went down, then the first cleric, then the wizzy and several other people in a very short time, but a monk and bard survived long enough to chase Lhranc as he tried to flee. After my rez I turned in the coin to Marl Kastane, who was standing outside of Lhranc's room, and was handed my epic.
I started the epic quest at 55 and ended it about three months later at level 62. By this time I already had better weapons but was still very proud to have completed Innoruuk's Curse if only for bragging rights and an eye-catching sword in my hand. Overall I'd say the quest was not worth it but it was a good lesson in the strength of a good guild and the blessing of good friends.

Be careful using the /hide method.. don't know if it doesn't work anymore or just not for me but I lost the Decrepit Hide and Drake Spine for the Decrepit Sheath turn in to Teydar. I didn't lose these items the first time I tried without hiding but did with Hide and a double checked indifferent /con. I imagine I will have these two items reimbursed after a kind petition. I will now research a way to get better faction for these turn ins and maybe some day finish the epic 1.0 even though by today's standards it is sub-par.

What does the Dusty Tome for the Sk epic drop off of now? There are no rats down there now and it used to drop off the ratman gaurd.
1 post
It still drops off of the ratman guard, you just have to go way, way deep in the hole to get em, once you do though they drop em like candy.

How far into the Hole? We made it as far as about where the Mimics/Chests are, and saw ratmen (but not guards) about in the same area. Is this close?

1)You say, "What prophecy?" to Marl Kastane in Kerra Isle.
2) You recieve the Seal of Kastane.
3) Give this seal to Gerot Kastane in Paineel.
4) True spirit faction increases.
5) You recieve A Note to Marl.
6) Destroy the note.
Repeat as necessary.
Very boring and very small faction bumps. But the advantage is that the it is a relatively short run between Marl and Gerot and you don't need anything to start the cycle.

Where in Kerra Isle does Marl Kastane spawn? I searched all over and didn't see him. Is he in Toxx?

What merchant sells the stupid key to The Hole in Paineel? I've checked every single merchant in Paineel and none of them have it.
The female merchant in the building directly in front of the bank in Paineel has it. It doesn't look like a key, though, it looks like a bag. I guess the appearance and the price is meant to put off any aspiring lowbies who might want to visit the Hole before they are ready. I heard once that GMs are under strict orders not to rez or assist any players who go into the Hole before they are truly ready for it, so do NOT go in there unless you are ready (I assume this means level 50+ and in groups).
If you were me and I were you, would we still be friends?

Yes gnomes can use it. Although I am sorry a gnome SK is just wrong they inspre laughter not fear.
Yes you can bash with it and with the improvements to bash that adds nicely to the damage.
Depending on the level of the people involved hate and fear raids are usually 4 groups or so can go less with higher people. I know some groups that xp in hate with one group same for fear. Although demis in fear are usually a 3 or 4 group effort as they must die quick since 2 of the 3 deathtouch.
Lhranc is a 3 to 5 group effort. He has a really high damage output and loves to eat clerics but he only has about 18K hps. So you just need really high DPS to drop him before he can eat thru the MA and clerics. MA needs to use riposte disc to avoid the 500 damage proc he has. HAve heard of Lhranc peaking at 1000 DPS for a few seconds time thanks to the proc. All others there go for most damage they can do.

sad thing is gnomes make better a bettwe sk than a dark elf
DE's have better int, night vision, agi, and are innately evil. Depending on how you play the class, a DE could, actually, be better than any others. Erudites as well. Though I'm not exactly sure how an Erudite would make any sort of good paladin :P

Seems the SK epic has the reputation for the hardest epic quest of them all. To support this, I'm from the FV server, an SK myself, I hope to one day get my epic done... Problem is, only 2 of the many many SKs on FV have ever finished this quest, it is not for the impatient or faint of heart. Another problem, most don't even try to get Innys curse... Why? Well it sucks compared to some of the other weapons that came out with PoP, and it's just not worth all the effort when you could just raid a plane of power and get something better... Just my 2cp
umm your on the FV server BUY the pieces you need for the epic .... do the turn in .... kill the guy .... WOOT you have your epic

Hate to beat a dead horse here but this quest has to be the hardest quest I have seen to get complete. A friend at level 50 started the quest is now level 60 and still no hide hs dropped on many raids into hate. in comparison from level 50 to 60 we both have been part of many epics done, of each class and 2 SK's still trying to complete theirs. Not for the sword any more now just to have it done. So I have to say in my oppenion this has to be the worst epic quest to complete.
I do however recommend that SK's atleast get the hole part done as you get a nice BP and earing out of there. You can skip every other part including kurron ni and just get the items and then as sad as this sounds just get another Sword from the planes and if you happen to get a Hide one day then complete it.
But this quest is more based on luck than anything else. You get lucky you get the sword, if not you get to waste months of time hunting the stuff that never seems to be there.

The SK quest is NOT hard. It's just extremely time-consuming. I'd rather have harder, tougher mobs, than killing an average mob over, and over, and over to get a rare drop. (17 trips to Hate and still no hide).

this is the best place so far I have seen for SK info in general, as well as an entire section dedicated to the Epic.

If anyone on the Karana server has a hide they aren't gonna use, my husband and I will pay for a MQ. Just email us at Kalerila@hotmail.com and we'll discuss prices. One year of trying to loot the damned thing is a bit much.

I did this turn in yesterday and found out that if u just give the 900pp and 3 armor pieces to Kurron Ni u can avoid all the talk and he will not aggro but just stand there. u can then engage as u are ready and complete the kill.
