You say, 'What greaves?'

Sarth Scarscale says 'Do you know the beasts that call themselves sarnaks? One such beast who calls itself Zorash attacked an envoy of merchants who were to deliver a pair of special boots to me. It taunts us by wearing them as a trophy. Bring them back and the skull of Grachnist, his goblin ally. Return them to me along with a star ruby and your banded greaves, and I shall craft you an excellent pair of greaves.'

Sarth speaks of Zorash, a named Sarnak in The Overthere fort. He's an uncommon spawn and the boots are an uncommon drop.

Likewise for Grachnist the Destroyer, a named goblin in the Warsliks Woods.

Are the boots on Zorash no drop?

Zorash spawned in the overthere at the tower located near the giant statue of the Iksar. I left there and immediatly went to the Gobby camp in Warslick and the first Grachnist that I killed droped the head. I dont know if they are set up that way because I have killed several Grachnist and never got the head until after I killed zorash and got the boots. I look great in my new full suite of Dreadscale!

Zorash can spawn in any of the three sarnack forts. It took me about two weeks and killing him about six time for him to finally drop the boots. I now have all but the mask and the vambraces. Off to get the gorla skin i guess.
good luck

It is golra :) That quest is not too hard, but try to get a levi in timorous, as the trip can be very long in the water. Even with a 200 swim skill.

Go camp something that gives good experience and loot and save up for some barbed leggings then some ry'gor leggings. the rarity of Zorash AND of the boots dropping makes this quest totally not worth it especially since the new ry'gor armor from Velious is available and the leggings have better stats than these.

FYI Zorash can spawn at any of the Sarnak camps in The Overthere, I've seen him at the two buildings by the FM zone, at the tower by the WW zone or at the open ruins that are also near the WW zone, none of the dozen plus times that I slayed him was I able to pry any boots off his bloody feet or anywhere on his person. This is a hella camp even for a level 50 who can just pull and waste Sarnaks one at a time from the camps. On an ironic note my guildleader has spent some time helping friends (OK, powerleveling them) at the sarnak camps and he says he's let a pair rot before.

Kollins, slayer of Zorash a dozen times over, wondering if these boots even exist.
RE: Waste of time
# Feb 24 2001 at 11:57 PM Rating: Default
LOL
I've seen the boots rot before.

Hunt him in the Overthere. Try either 3 or 6 spawn, or 10 is you are daring.

I checked out a list of all leggings for SK's and these are some of the nicer
possible leggings.

HELP: Banded Greaves, where do you get them?
# Jan 01 2001 at 7:48 PM Rating: Default
All,

I've got all the items except for the Banded Greaves. Where do you get these? Is it a blacksmith item or is it a quest item?

Please help.
RE: HELP: Banded Greaves, where do you get them?

A blacksmith item. Get your local smithy to make you some.

Where Zorash Spawns
# Dec 29 2000 at 9:58 PM Rating: Default
FYI -- I have been wondering what "Zorash" was for. He spawns in OT, mostly at the 3 sarnak spawn and 9 sarnak spawn in Overthere. I've never seen him drop anything before, but haven't killed him in awhile.

I am not sure if the pants are worth all the trouble :)

which zones?

I feel the pain of my fellow brothers with the way that the boots drop from Zorash.I have spent 4 days trying to get the greaves (already have the gloves,boots,bracer and arms) and after killing Zorash 8 times I still have no boots.The items dropping off a rare mob I can understand but a uber rare drop off a rare mob is just not fun nor fair.C

Can you imagine the anger if the dark forge armor quest items dropped as rarly as dreadscale armor quest items.There would be so much ******** Verant would need to close there email for good.

I love my Iksar SK and can deal with the exp penilty but am so sick of us getting screwed over by Verant.The khuri quest is still broken since day one of Kunark,we have sold all armor types at higher levels and even the Dreadscale BP quest appears to be broken.

Also why is Dreadscale armor 1 ac less than Darkforge ? Iksar are supposed to have a AC bonus but this seems to only be of use when we are naked and doing a CR.We pay the exp penilty for certain bonus's we get so why are we having to pay a penelty?

Wow - needed to get that off my chest.

Jounar i do agree with that oh and they fixed the last Kurkri <sp> quest but they weapon for the lvl you get it isnt worth the time. you can get better stuff from other zones with alot less hassle. Oh well one day they might give us a little boost to something for us but im not holding my breath. But im Iks SK is my 1st char and i still love playing him

I Agree too, i killed him 6 times, no boots on him and a druid happenned to spot him, kills him, gets boot, shows me the boots but i can't do anything. Took me a whole week and now i'm too high to get a group hunting with me at the ruins anymore. I started at level 41, hunting there, now at 43, what's the use i always i tell myself now. I even reported to GM, filed a bug complaint. I just wish Verant would do better than this. For example the dreadscale Vambraces comes off rarely off a hulking AS LONG AS we still get to kill the hulking's, they're not rare-spawn , took me 40 kills before i got them but i got them withing 2nd day. What's the use of Rare-drop off rare-spawn i always ask. Don't care about greaves anymore guys, just use your cabilis scale or better, forget this quest, we both deserved it but never got it, so just stop trying for it anymore.

Well, I have finially gotten the boots from that foul beast Zorash, and it only took about 11 kills. I think this quest isnt so difficult as it is frustrating. 11 kills of a rare spawn sarnak that can spawn anywhere in the zone and he doest always drop the friggin boots!!!! wtf. And for those of you who do not know about the head of Grachnist it IS NOT the rare drop earring, it looks like a skull and everytime I have killed him after the patch (about 5 times) he has dropped it.

# Nov 28 2000 at 2:15 AM Rating: Decent
I have killed this guy 20 times over the last 3 days. Spending at least 30 hours in The Overthere. Killed him in the tower, In the ruins by the WW zone and also in the ruins in the middle of the zone straight out from the FM zone. In this time I have looted 4 Earings of station and not one boot off Zorash. Something is seriously wrong here. Please correct this.
RE: Zorash again! =(
# Nov 28 2000 at 10:21 AM Rating: Default
Cryptwalker, I know your pain. I have already completed this quest, however I spent 13 hours straight and killed Zorash 5 times and not once did e drop the special boots. So I petitioned a GM to look into it to make sure the drop was correct. He checked and said it was functioning correctly and that I had a run of bad luck. The very next time Zorash was killed (within 15 minutes of talking to the GM) the boots dropped. )

Have the GM check it while you are camping. )

Great so on the 6th kill you get them. I have killed him 3 times that many and also had the whole zone looking at the other ruins as well. Killing him at least 3 times what I have killed him. The quest still can be broken and the "GM" put one on the next one for you. I still say that insane a rare drop on a rare spawn is stupid. The thing is hard enough to get to spawn to make the drop rarer than earings of station or shruken Goblin Skull earing in the case of Grachnist.
RE: Zorash again! =(
# Nov 28 2000 at 2:42 PM Rating: Default
What's with the attitude? I was only trying to help you out. And the quest isn't broken because I personally know two other people who got the boots without GM intervention.

And as I said previously, I AGREE that it is stupid to put a rare drop on a rare spawn.

No attitude Mr Anonymous. I am just stating that if it works on your server then that is great. I am just telling what the experience is on my server. I know all the Iksar SKs and none have gotten it yet and only one player I know has ever even seen the boots on my server and he is a troll. Looted it the day the patch was finished. Shame it has not been seen since. =(

guild mate saw boots this morning on quesllious server so i know they drop. He was a de and was pling a human so neither looted. they were at the ruins near the mud pond and the vendor.

I got the boots off the first Zorash spawn I ever saw the day of the patch. Have killed Zorash 10 times since then fighting at the ruins for xp and haven't seen the boots. Good luck to yall.

I've camped this spawn at the tower in the overthere for accumulativly 20hours so far, He's spawned 3time almost back to back with no boots. Since then he's been no show for probably 15hours. Tried camping him at the ruins but have never seen or heard of him spawning there.
I'm beginning to think this quest is broken.

Broken because the drop rate is insanely rare on an a rare spawn. Please this is just stupid.

BTW I have petitioned several times and all I get is I will check into it. =(
RE: Zorash
# Dec 21 2000 at 10:01 AM Rating: Default
Same here , all i get is i will Check into it, file a bug report is all what they say, which i did. I DO deserve it just like the rest of you. Some people have got it by mere luck, that does not mean we spend 2 weeks on a simple quest with no XP, that is what Verant should look into. The time when we start the quest, till the time when we give hope is when we're too high, just like i was, i ask verant what's the use!? Darkforge stuff is still better and i envy them.

ARGH. This is very frustrating. While camping one of the sarnak ruins for about 8 hours zorash spawned around the 7th hour, he coned yellow to me at 32.... Kill #1 no boots. He decided to show his ugly face again as my group was about to disband, coned red to me at 32... Kill #2 no boots. Does this seem absurd to anyone other than me? Is it not enough for Zorash to be a rare spawn? The greaves are a great reward, but killing a rare spawn 2 times and no boots is BS. I wish he always dropped the boots, or spawned more frequently. oh well... back to evercamp.
RE: Zorash
# Nov 28 2000 at 10:26 AM Rating: Default
I know what you are saying, and I let a GM on my server know how I felt about it. I completed the quest, but I emphasized to the GM that while it makes sense to make an NPC mob such as Zorash a rare spawn, it is absolutely ridiculous to make the one item he is supposed to drop rare as well, especially when the quest-giver NPC states that Zorash always wears the boots to flaunt his victory over the Iksar. He agreed. Hopefully they will change this because making a rare spawn with a rare drop on top of that takes the fun out of going out and questing.

Zorash - which building?
# Nov 22 2000 at 7:30 PM Rating: Default
I, a level 39 mage, 52 shaman, and another 36 SK camped the ruins between fm zone and scorp pit for a couple hours - no zorash. Does anyone know which of the three buildings he spawns in? We also tried for the hell of it the ruins by the iksar merchant in the northeast corner of zone - no luck there either. If I knew which spot he pops in or at least which building, it should go alot quicker (i hope) =)

Thanks again,

RE: Zorash - which building?
# Nov 22 2000 at 11:45 PM Rating: Decent
I believe he is a rare spawn in any of those static Sarnak spawns in the ruins. I have seen him in all three with no real pattern. Seen him twice in the Tower (round ruin) in the corner between FM and WW.
Level of Zorash?

Grachnist
# Nov 20 2000 at 1:07 AM Rating: Default
My friend started killing gobs in the city about 30 min before I got there. I spent about 15 min with min then the big G man spawned. We took him down and he dropped iksar gloves *what a suprise* and the head of grachnist. the head like the berserker head looks like a full sized skull. We spent another 15 min killing and another Grachnist spawned, he also dropped golves and the head. So 2 for 2. either luck or it is dropped every time now.
so...
# Nov 18 2000 at 12:49 AM Rating: Default
So you have to kill an extremely rare spawn and you get the skull as a rare drop? How silly. So... what sthe deal with Zorash? same thing? slaughter thigns for 10 hours till he spawns enough times to drop what you need? and what is hte loc of the camp he spawns at in the overthere? Is it just he randomly spawns in the place of all sarnask?
RE: so...
# Nov 18 2000 at 9:22 AM Rating: Decent
Grachnist the Destroyer is only an uncommon spawn. In an hour of killing the Goblins ine the goblin fort I have seen him spawn 3 times. When I got there a group said they had just killed him twice and he had the skull both times. But on the next three times no skull. =(
RE: so...
# Nov 27 2000 at 12:14 AM Rating: Default
I wouldn't call grachnist rare , or the skull rare, especially by eq standards. Miht take a few hours but skull will drop. Was killing him repeatedly couple weeks ago and saw skull prob 30% of the time.
no skull either
# Nov 17 2000 at 12:13 PM Rating: Default
granchist down 9 times, 3 totems, 1 earring, whole lotta gloves. But no damn skull.
RE: no skull either
# Nov 18 2000 at 3:29 AM Rating: Default
If you killed Grachnist 9 times and got an earring and 3 totems you are either extremely lucky or lying. I have killed Grachnist at least 60 times and gotten one totem and one shrunken goblin skull earring.
RE: no skull either
# Nov 19 2000 at 4:13 PM Rating: Default
heh I got extremely lucky, then it seems. because out of the 9 times i got the 3 totems and the goblin earring. 1 totem went to the druid helping me, 1 to my shaman 1 to my warrior. Goblin skull earring is quite nice for ALL meleers aswell.
RE: no skull either
# Nov 17 2000 at 1:11 PM Rating: Decent
I hope it isn't so but is not the earing called Goblin Skull earing?
RE: no skull either
# Nov 17 2000 at 3:24 PM Rating: Default
NO! it is not the same thing, i killed grach 5 times the day the patch came out got the head on the last kill.. you will know it when you see it its just not common
Zorash
# Nov 17 2000 at 11:22 AM Rating: Default
Ok, the named Sarnak for this quest is found in The Overthere spawning in the ruins North Northeast of the Frontier Mountain zone entrance, just south of the Scorpiki chasm. He has been killed twice and hasn't dropped a thing. The special boots he wears for this quest must be Uncommon or Rare. Well, back to camping him.. =(
