Tactical Observations (ToV Earring #6)  

I have completed the entire quest 5 and all the requirements for quest 6 but the NPC will not go beyond the portion of where the Crusader Vraket says, 'Vallon Zek is the paragon of tactics. In the Plane of War, he spends his time practicing tactics, refining his skills and devising new tactics. Many know him as the Governor of War. You will [study tactics].'

You say, 'What study tactics?'
Then no more dialogue other than he stares at me?

You say, 'Hail, Crusader Vraket'

Crusader Vraket Stares at you.

You say, 'All Hail Rallos Zek'

Crusader Vraket says, 'All Hail Rallos Zek. You have blooded the middle swords. Next, you will learn about the upper swords. These are a representation of [Vallon Zek].'

You say, 'Vallon Zek'

Crusader Vraket says, 'Vallon Zek is the paragon of tactics. In the Plane of War, he spends his time practicing tactics, refining his skills and devising new tactics. Many know him as the Governor of War. You will [study tactics].'

You say, 'study tactics'

You have been assigned the task 'Tactical Observations'.

Crusader Vraket says, 'You must enter Kael Drakkel. The fine city is overrun with the vile dead. Even if they no longer fight tactically, they follow their last orders, and some of the leaders will carry orders. Find the orders and observe how they follow them. While you are there, execute some tactics of your own and deprive them of flanker. Destroy some of the wolves.'

(The first 4 steps are immediately visible).

>>Examine 2 sets of orders that remain on the dead giant leaders 0/2 Kael Drakkel

(This is a random virtual update from killing non-military giants (giants with regular names)).

>>Examine how 5 of the rank and file soldiers respond to the order 0/5 Kael Drakkel

This is a random update from killing military named giants, i.e. Sergeant, Lieutenant, Trooper, etc.)

>>Kill 3 Restless Dire Wolves 0/3 Kael Drakkel

(Only the 'Restless' Dire Wolves count for this step.)

>>Examine the front-line defenses that protect King Tormax 0/1 Kael Drakkel

(This update is near Derakor the Vindicator, at the Ice Wall that separates the live Giants from the undead Giants -- area of -390, -72, -155.)

>>Speak with Crusader Vraket 0/1 Eastern Wastes

You say, 'Hail, Crusader Vraket'

Your task 'Tactical Observations' has been updated.

Crusader Vraket says, 'I've worked with you enough that I feel confident you've learned about tactics. This time I want more from you. The restless dead are an abomination. Destroy them. While you are there, collect some marrow that you will need for your next earring, and five skulls. Take these skulls and lay them at the head of the giant that is being given it's last respects. Once all of that is complete, go to the statue of Rallos Zek and sacrifice another of the dead giants in front of it to show your respect.'

(This unlocks the next 4 steps.)

>>Kill 20 Restless Dead 0/20 Kael Drakkel

(Kill any 20 undead giants.)

>>Collect 6 Restless Bone Marrow(s) 0/6 ALL

(Random drop from undead Giants.)

>>Collect 5 Restless Giant Skull(s) 0/5 ALL

(These only drop from undead Giants when someone has this quest. They appear to stop dropping after this step is done.)

(NOTE: The previous 2 steps do say ALL zones, as the items are pre-lootable.)

>>Lay 5 skulls of the abominations at the head of the honored dead 0/1 Kael Drakkel

(In the far south east room, there is a giant corpse on a fire (pyre). This is a location update at the head of the corpse, in the area of -4460, -276, -208).

>>Destroy a dead giant before the statue of Rallos Zek 0/1 Kael Drakkel

This is in the area, where a actual statue of Rallos Zek can be found (not to be confused with the NPC). Pull an undead in front of the statue - not on it or under it, but right front of it - and kill it for the update.)

Your task 'Tactical Observations' has been updated.

Crusader Vraket says, 'You honor Rallos Zek with your efforts. Your next earring requires a [marrow hardened etching tool]. Because of your good service, I've also given you research recipes that will allow you to create augments that work within the earring. Look for velium coated gems.'

You say, 'marrow hardened etching tool'

Crusader Vraket says, 'Ferment the marrow with a vial of purified mana and an ice of Velious. Soak a velium infused plank in the resultant sludge and shape it using chisels from a chisel set. Once you have this fragile tool, you can make your [wrathful earring of Rallos Zek].'

You say, 'wrathful earring of Rallos Zek'

Crusader Vraket says, 'Use the marrow hardened etching tool and an appropriate emblem to scribe into your blooded militant earring of Rallos Zek. The emblems are: emblem of the harasser, emblem of the composite, emblem of the mendicant, and emblem of the convoker. Once you have etched the space, melt purified velium into the grooves and finish it with two vials of purified mana. The tool is fragile, so it's likely to break during use.'

(Make the item, recipes below.)

>>Create 1 Wrathful Harasser's Earring of Rallos Zek or Wrathful Fused Earring of Rallos Zek or Wrathful Harasser's Earring of Rallos Zek or Wrathful Harasser's Earring of Rallos Zek 0/1 ALL

(The recipe is all ready in your Jewelry recipe lists, just look it up. Jewelry Trivial is 502, and other than your earring, includes 2 Vials of Purified Mana, a Purified Velium, the Marrow Hardened Etching Tool and your classes related Emblem. Upon making the item, the task ends.)
