Subversion task
Begins with Assistant Vagli at the light house.

Level 50
Medium length task

Hail, Assistant Vagli

Assistant Vagli says, 'Greetings, friend. If you have come to study under the great Alvarik you have come to the right place! I help by carrying his research tomes for him. If there is one you would like to buy, feel free to browse through what we have. If you are looking for something to do, I may have a [task] available for you to get started on. Alvarik has much he needs done and I can't do it all myself'

You say, 'task'

Medium length task, begins in Dulak's Harbor

Objective Instructions
- Explore the ship Oceancrasher at one of the eastern docks.
- Kill 10 subverted miners (Torgiran Mines)
- Loot 4 Pristine Ore Sample (Torgiran Mines)
- Explore Overlod Ngrub's room in the east halls of the mine complex (loc for update was +1255, -1306, -146)
- Deliver 4 Pristine Ore Sample to Calambra (Gulf of Gunthak) (on the boat beside the light house at loc +1480, -1043, +41)


Task description in Quest Journal:

There are books that speak of a place of mystical origins. It has yet to be found, but the belief is that you can find it if you explore the ship Oceancrasher at one of the eastern docks. Stay on your guard while you search for these mystical ruins, for there are stones of someone... or something that doesn't want you around.

* Pristine Ore Sample is a No Drop item that can be obtained from an mob with "miner" in its name.

This is a historic day for literary minds all over the world. You were finally able to uncover the truth behind the mystical ruins and the beasts that guard it. You must have been terribly fascinated and frightened by the whole prospect, but you certainly kepy your wits about you. The literary society is willing to offer you a good fee for collecting those relics, so please do accept this.

You receive 7 copper
You receive 2 silver
You receive 4 gold
You receive 54 platinum

(and experience)

They are on the east side of the beach (left as you approach from PoK zone in). Group of 4 skellies - check NPC list for the zone. Also note they appear to be on a faster repop than other mobs by about 5 mins

Could a 34 necro with ok gear be able to fear kite here? or would I have to do the ole pet tank and I nuke approach? any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Between levels 61 and 65 I found there's 50 different tasks offered by the two task masters, Assistant Vagli (at 1386, 67) and Cadale Brohat (in Light House). Three categories of tasks, long, medium and short are destinguished by the number of stages which are accomplishments you need before you can move on to later stages. The long tasks seem to all require about 10 harder mob kills, 4 loots found and then mostly running around or another 10 easy mob kills. Long tasks yeild 0.43 exp aa and a little over 219 platinum. Medium (about .32 exp aa) and short (about .11 exp aa) tasks usually have the hard stages and fewer running around stages - but some short and even medium tasks are just running around and thus real easy.

Alright, I've just completed two mid-50's tasks in Gunthak and I have full info on both. Both, "Pray for Life" and "Time for Bed" are gotten from Cadale Brohat, female erudite inside the Lighthouse at loc 1509, -238. I got both at level 55.

"Pray for Life" Medium length

(In the task window) "What a glorious day to go on patrol! That's exactly what you'll be doing for the next little while, soldier. You're going to start by taking the time to explore the small prayer pedestal to the left of the entrance,.[sic] Don't do anything fancy, just keep your eyes peeled for any signs of hostile actions in the area. If you find anything, then you'll know what to do. Good luck!"

Zone: Gunthak
Objective: Explore the small prayer pedestal. 0/1

Run to the large, castle-like entrance to Nadox in Gunthak. Your task gets updated near loc -2867, 2515.

(In the task window) "Whoa! Hold up a minute! Did you hear the commotion? There's been a report of an enemy unit nearby! Go find them and kill 10 shady treasure sorters,.[sic] Make sure you get rid of them all, even if it's just for the thrill of the hunt. Speaking of which, go ahead and loot 4 Shiv, while you're at it, just so you have something to remember the adventure. You can put them on your wall at home later on."

Zone: Dulak's Harbor
Objective: Kill 10 shady treasure sorters. 0/10

Head to Dulak and kill "a shady treasure sorter"'s in the three different warehouses across Dulak. One of the warehouses is near loc -180, -190.

Zone: Dulak's Harbor
Objective: Loot 4 Shiv. 0/4

You basically can loot the shivs off of anything but you shouldn't have any trouble getting them off of the treasure sorters. I didn't get a message when I looted all 4 shivs.

(In the task window) "Time to get back to your patrol duties, so explore the Hungry Shark tavern along the southern docks,.[sic] When you're done, you can head back."

Zone: Dulak's Harbor
Objective: Explore the Hungry Shark Tavern.

Once you enter the tavern at loc -612, -581 your task gets updated.

(In the task window) "Aside from that little skirmish you had, your patrol wasn't too taxing. That's more than can be said for some of the others that were sent on patrol today. In any case, you do have those prizes you collected, so why not deliver 4 Shiv to Welligorn, so they can be stuffed and put on display for you."

Zone: Gunthak
Objective: Deliver 4 Shiv to Welligorn. 0/4

Welligorn is found in Gunthak on the beach at -200, -670. Hand him the 4 Shivs to complete the task.
(In yellow text) "Good job out there today. Your primary duty was simply to patrol, but when the going got tough, you got fighting! That's the kind of spirit that more soldiers should have. Heck, you may even be ready for command some day. Not today, but some day. Maybe. In any case, here's part of your bounty for mopping that mess up today. Keep it up!"

At level 55 I got 5% regular exp and 94pp, 5gp, 3sp, and 1cp.

-----------------

"Time for Bed" Short length.

(In the task window) "The world is growing at an alarming rate and there aren't enough plots of land available for everyone and their livestock to live in. That's why it's up to you to find some new plots of land. Your first target is going to be nearby, which is why you need to explore the sleeping quarters in the southern mines,.[sic] You'll know once you arrive if it's a good place of property or not."

Zone: Torgiran
Objective: Explore the sleeping quarters in the southern mines. 0/1

On the map you'll see an area in the southern mines area that looks sort of like:

xxxx0xx0xx
()-------x (x's are blank space to format)
xxx0xx0xxx

I entered the first room on the right there at loc -88, 4 and got the task update.

(In the task window) "That wasn't the most hospitable place in the world, especially not for a family, but there are plenty of other locations you can visit. This time, why don't you explore the ship Oceancrasher at one of the eastern docks,?[sic] You're bound to get lucky sooner or later and find a suitable living spot."

Zone: Dulak's Harbor
Objective: Explore the ship Oceancrasher at one of the eastern docks. 0/1

Run to Dulak and you can basically run straight east out of the armory and you'll get to the Oceancrasher dock. Go on the boat and at about loc 244, -1752 and get the task update.

(In the task window) "It's interesting that there wasn't a good area anywhere. You're going to have to let the prospective buyers know about it, so speak with Dellthuea, to give them the bad news."

Zone: Gunthak
Objective: Speak with Dellthuea 0/1

Dellthuea's at the docks behind one of the houses northish of the lighthouse at loc 1618, -169. Hailing her updates and finishes the task.

(In yellow text) "Sadly, you couldn't find any plots of land that were suitable for living, but don't fret. It wasn't your fault, just the fault of overused land that hasn't been taken care of nearly well enough. In any case, here's your finder's fee, even though you didn't exactly find anything. Your services may be called upon again soon, and if they are, try not to disappoint, okay?"

At level 55 I got 2% regular exp and 47pp, 2gp, 6sp, 6cp.

Sorry, no logs for this as proof but I have about 12 screenshots with info for both if it's really necessary for input into the database. Good luck to anybody on these. They were both soloed for the most part with a 55 monk, decently equipped.

Double post =\

It said something about "programmers at work."

I have downloaded LoY about 6 months ago and although I can Dye my armour, create a Froglok and have extra bank space I cannot get into the Gunthak zones. Everytime I goto the boat to get in I cannot. I was hoping it would be better when the PoK stone was added, alas I can not use that either. I have been /report(ing) and /petition(ing) for months now and not had ONE reply.
My friend also has the same problem, atm we can only think it is due to where we live(England) If anyone can help on this I'd be really grateful.

I am so glad that eq mentioned this zone as a hotzone it was the only reason i tried it in the first place. After leveling from 35 to 46 in less then week < which given my time schedule to play is phenomonally quick for me > I will never ever go to Dreadlands again. I have been able to solo easily here < cept the tunnels bad place to try > Groups have been very successful. The only negative to the zone is that loot is very very inconsistant but to me if i want Loot its Rathe Mountains im here to level.

I just leveled my mage from 35 to 39 on the East Beach south of the zone to StoneBrunt. XP was good but the loot seemed very poor to me. Range was from 2 coppers (for a level 36 mob, I'm not kidding) to 5 plat or so. Average seemed somewhere around 6-8 gold or so. This is no better than what I was getting in the Lake of Ill Omen for level 20 Sarnaks and Goblins. Hopefully this is not by design. Maybe I was just lucky, but I couldn't afford to stay any longer and moved on to other zones. Can't afford to pay for spells, much less new equipment, with that rate of return.

I was grouped with a 65 at level 44 and recieved experience for every kill here and in Dulak's Harbor. Is this supposed to happen?

How do I find my way to the Gulf of Gunthak from PoK. I have searched but can't figure it out. Please help. Thanks.

Anyone have a link to a map for this place? And the rest of the LoY zones. I've been doing a lot of fishing and I'd like a map so I don't get lost.
