As you can tell I have a lot of characters that are in various aspects of their epics.
About a month ago i finally decided to start my Necromancer epic.
I usually start my epics with the kills that i can do. Get the components then do the walk though.
In this case, I started with the Head of Sir Edwin Motte. After some research on a couple of web sites I found that the best location was in east freeport at the inn/tavern called the Seafarer's Roost on the docks down by the translocater. I hung outside the dock (I was KOS to a couple of mobs in there that i whacked (Demi-lich quest the people from Halas hate me)
I waited for about an hour until I heard Sir Motte send out a tell. Cast invise - to avoid my Halas friends. Went into a corner and cast my Demi Lich Spellcap Morternum, Envenomed Bolt and Ignite blood. Watch him tick down to zero. Got head.
I then went to Najena and started to kill mobs for the Flowing Black Robe. To get the robe in Najena is a step by step process. Killing one mob to get a key to kill another mob to get a key etc.. etc..
www.eqatlas.com was a great source of what room to go to first So I will refer to their number and mention the mobs.
The first mob to kill is Bonecracker he is located in room
8 on the map. He drops Dull Bone Key which opens the inside door to room 11.
Next kill the Ogre Captain located in room 9 who drops a Shiny Metal Key which opens the outside door of room 11.
Inside Room 11 a mob named Rathyl will spawn. Kill Rathyl and then kill Rathyl's reincarnate. Loot a Bloodstained Key which will open doord to room 5.
In room 5 kill Drelzna, she drops golden crescent key which opens door to room 2.
In room 2 spawns Najena. (Finally) You kill her or her PH's until she spawns (19 minutes spawn timer)
Then you have robe.
I then started to do walkthrough - I went to lake Rathetear and Hailed Kazen Facae at location +340, -1600
You say, 'Hail, Kazen Fecae'
Kazen Fecae 's eyes seem to glow as he turns to you and says, 'Leave me be if you have no reason to be here, mortal!'
You say, 'I wish to study the dark arts.'
Kazen Fecae looks you up and down, his eyes glowing with a soft red light. After a moment he begins to speak though his lips do not move. 'You wish to study under me? Perhaps, if you prove yourself to follow the twisted path. If you prove to be as coldhearted as I then I will let you become my servant.'
You say, 'How can I prove myself?'
Kazen Fecae says 'The wandering 'knight' Sir Edwin Motte recently slew one of my lesser servants. This foolish knave travels from town to town pretending to be 'good.' Separate his head from his body and return it to me so I may work my magics upon it. This fool will become another plaything for me, even in death.'
I handed him the head of my poor dead friend Sir Edwin Motte.
Kazen Fecae says 'Excellent!' You watch Kazen hold the head by the hair and begin to cast a spell. A flash of darkness centers around the head and the eyes of the dead knight open, a terrible scream emanating from its lips. 'This poor fool here - I think I will keep him in my bag from now on. You have done well, my new apprentice. Take this symbol and know that you can do other tasks to advance within my apprentice ranks.'
You say, 'How can I advance?'
Kazen Fecae says 'I share great secrets with my more powerful servants who show me they are willing to serve without question. Tell my servant the name of any symbol he gives you and he will instruct you. If I give you a symbol, speak its name to me so I may instruct you.'
You say, 'What about a symbol of the apprentice?'
Kazen Fecae says 'You have a long way to go before I teach you the true secrets of life and death. Visit Venenzi Oberendi in the Nektulos forest and show her the symbol. She is collecting reagents for one of my experiments and is taking far too long. I do not wish her dead, yet. I simply need the reagents soon. Retrieve the reagents and give them to I disagreeistant Emkel Kabae. I do not wish to handle them myself.'
Went to Nektulos Forest to find Venenzi Oberzendi. This was quite funny. Due to the redesign she was hard to find I rode my horse all over the place. i finally found her behind a rock on the west side of the zone just south of the river.
Twisted Symbol of the Apprentice.
Venenzi Oberzendi says 'I see you serve my master as well now. I assume you are here to take the reagents from me which I have gathered for him? I don't know if I like the idea of you gaining the credit for my hard work here. I might consider giving you these reagents, if only you do a small [task] for me.'
You say, 'What task?'
Venenzi Oberzendi looks down at her robes and back at you. 'There is a certain dark elf magician who has decided to wear the same fashion as I have on several occasions. I do not wish to attend another social gathering in Neriak and look exactly the same as another woman. Slay her and bring me her robe and I will give you my hard earned reagents.'
Hand in the flowing black robe you killed in Najena.
Venenzi Oberzendi says 'Thank you. I did not think you would track down Najena and slay her. I think that I am going to return to my old life in Neriak. I am sick of the way Kazen has been treating me. He never seems to teach me anything worthwhile. Don't forget to give his lapdog that symbol with the reagents. I'm sure he will give you a new one.'
You will receive a Rolling Stone Moss.
Then its back to Lake Rathetear to do turn in.
You will find Emkel Kabae at location 250, - 1450
You say, 'Hail, Emkel Kabae'
Emkel Kabae says 'I am Emkel Kabae, first apprentice to Kazen. If you have a symbol, tell me its name.'
Give him the Twisted Symbol of the Apprentice and the moss for the Symbol of the Serpent.
Emkel Kabae says 'Very good, you have done as the master asked yet again, take this as a reward.' Emkel reaches into his robes and pulls out a small symbol. He holds it out and the tiny symbol floats to your hand.
You say, 'What is the symbol of the serpent?'
Emkel Kabae says 'There are more reagents to be gathered. The time draws near for our master's ascension. Travel to the lands of Kunark and seek out Ssessthrass. He is a very wise Iksar herbalist helping me in my endeavor to please Master Kazen. Be careful not to insult his speech, or you may end up dead before you serve your purpose to the master. Be sure to show him the symbol as proof or he may consider you dinner.'
You will need to take this Symbol to Ssessthrass, a named Iksar in the Swamp of No Hope. He is at location +3800, +1600, which is in a house in the pass to go to Field of Bone. He will give you Scaled Symbol of the Serpent.
You say, 'Hail, Ssessthrass'
Ssessthrass says 'I do not wisssh to be bothered.'
Give him the Symbol of the Serpent.
Ssessthrass says 'Sssso, Emkel ssssent you to retrieve the manisi herb? I do not have the herb. The ssssarnak guard the herb. Apparently it is ssssacred to them. Only memberssss of their royal family are allowed to partake of it. They live deep in Chardok. They are hoarding what little of the precious herb there is. If you have an army, perhapssss you can bring me the herb and I can prepare it for Emkel. Bring back this ssssymbol as well.'
This is where my rambling tale ends. waiting to go into Chardok to get mansi herb.
