stargrace January 12, 2007 0Comment

Level 50

– Starts from Charly Ashlash in Lavastorm (-323,+355).

– You need to speak goblin to receive this quest from Charly Ashlash. Before Charly will deal with you he asks you to destroy some monsters in Lavastorm. You must slay 50 crawlers and 50 Drakes. The lizards at the docks give credit for drakes.

– After doing this return to him. He will give you a boot. Examine the boot and the quest will update.

– You must find the corpse of a smelly fish to bait “The Big Squiggly”. The fish it is referring to is a level 47 solo fish named “Foulgill the Rotten” who spawns near the docks. He has a place holder.

– After killing the fish you will be given 2 hours the bait the trap for “The Big Squiggly”. This trap is a bit deeper in the zone where a named goblin spawns but not very deep. (-566,+410) It will look like a pile of underbrush. Have everyone right click and bait the trap and “a hungry goblin” will run up to the trap.

– Immediately following this “The Big Squiggly” will spawn and attack the group. He is level 48 or 49 ^^. After killing him you will recieve the right boot.

– The next step is to find an Efreeti to make sure the boots are truly Efreeti made. The Efreeti your looking for is Tazgar the Efreeti in the Temple of Solusek Ro in Lavastorm. When you speak to him 6 mobs will spawn. Kill them and speak to him again.

– He will then send you to Solusek’s Eye to kill fire giants until you receive a key. This is a semi-rare auto-updating drop. The giants are in deep, past the golems.

Once you have the key you use it to disable the spires in Lavstorm:

• (-635,-+300) first goblin area
• (+120,-465) lava field before the temple
• (-115,+75) drake pit west of temple
• (-438,+120) before dragon’s breath tunnel
• (-567,-410) near Buglegreeder

– Once the spires have been disabled you must defeat The Magolemus. This is a new level 50 ^^^ Group x 2 mob who is located outside of Solusek’s Eye in Lavastorm. If you have disabled the spires, when you walk near him he will become attackable. Once you engage him you have 15 minutes to kill him or he will despawn. He procs a single target knockback on your main tank, so be sure to have his back to a wall.

– After killing him you must reactivate the spires that you disabled earlier. After reactivating them you need to return to speak to Tazgar.

– You must then kill Efreeti Lord Djarn. He is located in the Bastion of Flames.

– After killing Efreeti Lord Djarn you can return to Tazgar for your reward.

Receive Reward: Golden Efreeti Boots

Level 45

– Starts from Fendaris K’Lorn at the Lavastorm docks (-125,+628).

– The first step is to kill goblins in Lavastorm or Everfrost until you have obtained 20 shards of the broken goblin tablet. This is an auto-updating, uncommon piece. After completing this task return to Fendaris.

– He then requires you to collect 8 goblin banners written in a secret goblin code. The 8 banners are pretty easy to get, just a pain to get the 8 you need right away if anyone else in the zone is on the same part of the quest. There are 2 areas for the banners that they respawn quite quickly. The first area with the solo whelps has 4 spawns of banners scattered thruogh the area. The second goblin area, past the stone bridge has another 4 spawns scattered throughout.

• (-321,+458)
• (-555,+470)
• (-590,+265)

– After examining all of the banners and speaking to Fendaris, you receive a scroll written in Druzaic. You will need to know Words of Pure Magic to read it. It tells you a nice story about how the goblins got whooped in a fight ages ago. Pay attention when reading through it cause your gonna re-trace the story. Basically you must find the five pieces to the goblin poem. They are at:

• (-646,+65) The Wound.
• (-678,-159) Goblet of Ro.
• (-635,+302) Gobln Ritual Shrine.
• (-230,+149) Behind the Lavafall.
• (-193,+251) Before the Lavafall.

– You then must find the name of the forgotten Lavastorm Legend. You do this by speaking with Bunglegreeder. He is in a hut near Asphyxia in Lavastorm at (-403,+194). He will ask you to obtain 8 rare rocks from Lavastorm. Six are mob drops and two must be mined. They are:

• Metamorphite: Harvested from the metamorphite rocks
• Flame Licked Diamond: Harvested from Flame Licked Ore
• Molten Fragmite: Molten Fragments
• Noxious Pearl: Noxious Emissions
• Basalt Turquoise: Basalt Rumblers
• Globule Rose: Flaming Globules

– Head to temple of ro and take all rights, this will lead to a library and it has a Ghost npc that will tell you to seek out the Dead Knights bones that were sent out across the Shattered Lands (you have seen them when examined it speaks of Flames and Swords on a medalion i believe) But there are 10 of them.

• Liantis: Lavastorm (-551,+16)

• Narisin: Antonica (-2051,-564)

– Then it has you Return the bones to the Censor of Souls you pass it heading to Solusek’s Eye through Temple of Ro past Tazga. This looks like a forge with a cauldron in the middle. Head back to ghosty npc in library and he tells you to examine the book about king tranix, its in the library you are in at the moment.

– Then head back to Solusek’s Eye, down to the Giants of Thyr the first room you see them in go to the left side and there is the chest at (+99,+189).

– Leelav Yekl needs you to track down an assassin for him. He first sends you to Freeport to scour the inns looking for clues on how to track him down. He gives no further instructions but we can tell you that you must speak to Kreglebop Yekl in West Freeport. He is found outside on the patio of the tavern at (+289,+91).

– Kreglebop Yekl will give you clues that lead to Qeynos. You are once again told to scour the taverns of Qeynos to find an unspecified NPC.

Rescue of the Green Hoods (Short Sword of the Ykesha)

stargrace January 12, 2007 1Comment

Level 40

– Starts from Sashra Thaltalis in Zek, the Orcish Wastes (+342,-464).

– Starting this quest requires that you have completed the Operation Green Hood quest. Sashra first sends you to the mine lift to see if it’s still functional. Just go there and it’ll update your quest. A few orcs will spawn behind you, but you can either sneak through this or fight them–there are about 4, and they don’t auto aggro, so if they’re greybies, you’re all set.

– Go back to Sashra, he sends you off to collect five scalps from Sullon Centurians, Tallon Raiders and Vallon Grunts. Grunts are near the lumbermill (577,-242). Raiders are linked in the camp east of the docks along with Warpriests. Centurians you can find either in a group of two (each a single ^) along the road to the Citadel. You can find a few wandering with a Sullon Lieutenant, and you can find four at the first gate on the way to DFC. This part is timed at 60 minutes, but the timer stops as soon as you get the kills, so it’s not a big problem. Once you have the kills, go back to Sashra.

– Now that he takes you seriously, he asks you to go kill Sentry Goorlux. Goorlux roams between the lumberjacks and the Sullon lumbermill. He can only be seen when he runs from one point to another, otherwise he’s invisible. He is a 37 or 38^^ mob. Kill him, then go back to Sashra. Again.

– Sashra then sends you into DFC to meet with Infiltrator Stryjin. She’s hiding out in one of the towers around the courtyard, so you’ll need to kill the Deathfist townies to spawn the guards and open up the tower doors. Once the doors open up, one will let you use ladders to get all the way up to the ramparts. You’ll need to kill all the nameds on the ramparts eventually, so go ahead and get it out of the way. The infiltrator can be found at one of the corner towers where there’s no ladder to get up. Just bring a scout with you, much easier that way. Once you meet up with her, she sends you to rescue three trapped Green Hood women inside the citadel.

– Two of them are in the jails down below, and one is brewing poisons for the orcs inside. So to get to them, you need to fight to the inner area where Emperor Fyst is, kill all his guards, and make him run down and open up one of the inner tower doors. You fight down through there towards the harem, kill everything in there. Behind the curtain is a room with an elevator, right click on it to activate it. You can go up one floor, kill Warpaw and any nameds there, then go up another floor, kill the boxes and the trained falcon. If the door across the bridge still doesn’t open for you, look towards the outer wall and see if you’ve killed the Lieutenant there. If not, kill him (pullable from there, just jumpcast it) and the door should open. This is the Magus room with the first woman. Kill all the npcs, and hail her with a single click to get credit.

– Once you clear the magus room, the elevator in that room goes active, so use it to go down to the midkeep, then go down one flight of stairs. Hang a right into the jail area. One of the women is behind bars, so kill the Jailer to open it up, and do the same process as with the first woman. The last one is just past where the jailer was, another named guarding her, so kill that off, then give her the quest recall stone.

– Once you get all three, make your way back to the Infiltrator and let her know what happened. She doesn’t depop, so you don’t need to fret about timing on this. She lets you know that Fyst was carrying the Short Sword of the Ykesha and you should kill him.

– Go back towards the jail area, then go down another flight of steps before you actually enter the jail. Kill any preaetorian guards there, along with elites. Run through the passages there (not the ones that lead back towards the sewers)–the ones near the henchling bookie. Be warned that a 5th preaetorian guard spawns back in the courtyard with the butcher. Most people dont realise this then wander the zone thinking it is stuck in a wall. Once all 5 preaetorian guards are dead, enter the gladiator arena ring event.

– The first fight is with four level 40^^ Deathfist Gladiators. For us, they fought dirty and when we had two gladiators dead, four 40ish ^^ lions were released on us. Knock all those down, and Dogolka spawns. he was, blue like the others, so could have been 42^^.

– After you kill all that then The Harrower of Zek will spawn. He is a level 40 Group x2 mob. After he dies Emperor Fyst himself comes down to engage you. I’m pretty sure that he was a 41 or 42 ^^^ mob, so he’s raidable, but we did it with 5 people. He has an insane amount of mana, but that’s really about it. Kill him.

After killing Emperor Fyst return to Infiltrator Stryjin for your reward.
