Gargoyle Gorge: On the path to Nektropos Castle, the next step, so not much worry
Nektropos Castle: Far northeast corner

"The Return of the Light" - Greater Lightstone

Start the quest by examining a "Burned Out Lightstone". You can loot this item from a Lightbringer Wisp (+800, +195, near the Ring of Nature- hard to see but common enough, have a scout track it, and be sure to loot its corpse- this isnt a chest drop) in Commonlands. The item can be bought / traded too.

Find Cannix Silverflame in the Commonlands (-310, -363, NE of the crossroads)after examining the stone. Advance the quest on the second page of dialogue. Youll first have to right-click on two fallen stone monuments and select "touch with lightstone." The Forgotten is at +171, +261 and The Mourned is found at -591, -633. Return to Cannix who will give you a FaintlyLit Lightstone and tell you to kill Ramanai, a lion that can be found near the Ring of Nature.

When you return to Cannix, youll get a Dimly Lit Lightstone and the next step, to kill the Orc Captains Gaer and Ogof. While youre working on this step, be sure to complete Bloodskull Valley access (see below). Return to Cannix when the orcs are dead for the next step.

Next,kill the High Priest of ValMarr in the Commonlands at the Ruins of ValMarr.Keep killing all the skelly mobs south of the ruins around loc +450, +575. Return to Cannix, who wants you to kill General Drull in Bloodskull Valley. Youll need access tho, see below if you havent completed this step yet. Kill the scout when you zone in, otherwisewaves might be sent against you before youre ready. The general is with the orc lineup right inside the entrance.

Return to Cannix, who will promptly be killed by some nasties. Kill the assassins to get your reward. Note that if youre doing this step with a group that needs, only one of you will be able to finish the quest with each go.

--"The Search for Bloodskull Valley" (BV access)--

Seek out a Wounded Scout at +280, +500 just past the lumberjacks area from thetowers, along the shore. Hell give you a list of orc officers to kill.

Commander DvNar - Paths the entire orcs area near to the towers.
Commander GrikSna - Paths the entire orcs area farther west, near lumberjacks.
Lieutenant VrahKna - Inside a tower at -365, +450

General VharTaug - Spawns atop the Elites orc tower, possibly soon after the rest ofthe orcs are killed.


"These Boots Were Made For Walking" - Dwarven Work Boots Heritage Quest

You can start this quest at level 20.

Go to Hwal Rucksif at the Keep of the Ardent Needle in Antonica (-560, -317) to start the quest. The first step is to harvest 100 Ore and 100 Wood from Antonica keep 50 of each for Hwal when youre finished.

He then wants you to collect a few items. For the first, head to Blackburrow, and when inside head down thelefthand corridor to the miners area. The item drops from miners and excavators. The second is in Stormhold, head to the library (at the Atrium, head north and keep going straight… head down the 3rd passage toyour left and hang another left). Clearthe fungus and mist for this relatively quick Caveroot Horror spawn (no need to kill zombies).

Bloodtalon, a named griffon in TS, must be killed for the last item. He spawnsaround +1150, +525, east of the giants in the western plain, and MightyGriffons are placeholders.

Hwal wants you to return to Blackburrow to get some ale. Its in the Brewery(swim beneath the falls in the bottom of BB, its the topmost barrel in a stackjust as you swim in (+22, +62).

Return to Hwal, who wants you to deal with his grandfather at the Tower of Vhalen (-1300, +45) in Antonica. Head into the instanced dungeon with a groupto kill this level 25 or so mob. Hwalwill then send you to get pieces for his new boots. Kill mature antelopes and Firerock scouts to get these items, both can be found near where you killed Bloodtalon.

Go to Minty Frostbeard at Thundermist Village in the TS. She tells you to come back in one game day(72 min.). Later on, collect the bootsand take them to Hwal. who will give you his old boots.

"Dragoon KNaae of the Thexians" - Shiny Brass Halberd Heritage Quest

This is the relatively fast heritage quest for the Shiny Brass Halberd, a decentweapon for Guardians and Berserkers (no other classes can equip the 2h greataxe- and since the weapon is no-trade, this quest might only be worth doing for the status points). If youre level 24+, see Dragoon KNaae in the heavy aggro northeast of Nektulos Forest (-1375,-1335). Be careful not to double clickto hail him, youll attack instead. NOTE: the quest is much easier with a group of high 20s / low 30s.

First, hunt Ash Owlbears (not Cinder) for 60 Owlbear Meat. These are randomdrops, you wont get one on every kill. This step is easier than it sounds with a full group and grayed-outcons, just rake up a bunch of mobs and keep whacking. Return to KNaae, who wants 30 Undead Skin scraps. These drop in similar fashion from the patchworks and undead around Nektulos Castle in the extreme northeast of thezone.

Again, return to KNaae, who will then give you a flask of water which you must fill at Behemoth Pond (-227, -238, pond in the middle of an island) in Nektulos Forest and return to him. When you fill it, you have 9 minutes to make it backto KNaae. Sprinting when the bar is full should get you back with a fewminutes to spare if you avoid aggro, stuns, etc.

Knaae will then ask you to kill Captain TSanne at the GulThex Citadel (+666,-720) to recover a weapon from him. Captain TSanne may be a timed or triggered spawn, after about 3 hours of camping and killing skellies my group traveled to the just-opened second instance of Nek and killed him just inside the castle.

Three Ebon Mask Assassins will jump you when you get near KNaae, so stay buffed andready. Kill them, then speak to Dragoon KNaae one last time to complete thequest.

"Haddens Earring" - Fishbone Earring Heritage Quest

Minimum level is 25.  At the Thundering Steppes docks, hail Kerath McMarrin (hes behind the first building on the left as you enter the docks).  Hed like you to search the Tower of Vhalen in Antonica (-1300, +39, +48)  for Hraths Journal. .

Once you get the update, return to Kerath, who will send you to Nektulos Forest.   About 100m before the Commonlands bridge, you should receive your update around +460, -3, -1285).   Next, head into Commonlands and the northeasterly ocean.  This update is near the skeletal remains of a dragon (-865, -150, -990), and some form of underwater breathing might be helpful.

Take a group along for the next step if youre lvl 25-30.  In the Thundering Steppes, head off the WESTERN coast past the Siren Pyramid, around the triangular shaped island to the shipwrecks (+1650, -50, +130). Youll need a group because an enraged octopus will pop and attack you when you get the update, he hits hard and can swim faster than you can sprint, so youll have to kill him if you cant take the damage.

Next, head to Nektropos Castle in northeast Nektulos Forest to kill Malthus Everling.

Head to Ruins of Varsoon to kill Hrath VTol. Youll find him in the Sorcerers Workshop (+295, +62) and is an insta-pop on approach.  Head back to Kerath, who has one last thought.  Seek out Captain Krieger along the northeastern coastline in Thundering Steppes (-125, -1050).  Hell aggro on you, kill him and youre done! Head back to Kerath for your Fishbone Earring!

-- "A Calling in the Forest" - Nektropos Castle access quest --

Walk over the Commonlands bridge then speak to Theeral the Nomad, north along the path from the bridge.  Hell (Shell?) give you a Flesh Bound Tome.  Examine it for your quest steps.

You must now visit Timber Falls. Head north along the riverside to the waterfall, get your update off to the left of the waterfall by the mushroom.  Next: visit the top of NMarrs Ascent.  Head south along the ridgeline on the eastern bank.  Round the point and follow the path north till you come to the base of the steps.  Climb to the top, hopefully the aggro is grayed out.  Be sure not to auto-follow, you may fall.  Third step: scout Bone Lake. Head due east from NMarrs to the stream, then head north.  Circle the lake until you get your update. 

Return to Theeral the Nomad near the CL zone in, hell want you to kill a Skeletal Lieutenant.  These spawn along the path northward, and are group mobs, level 28ish.

Your last step, head to Nektropos Castle in the northeast part of the zone.  Work your way around the moat, closing on and clicking the monuments as you see them.  All are visible from the relative safety of the moatline.  The monument locs are 1) -1485, -1990; 2) -1585, -1890; 3) -1385, -1690.  The shrine is at -1570, -1990.  After clicking the shrine, hail the Herald of Nektropos at the Castle gate (insta-pop as you walk up).  Congratulations on Nektropos Castle access.

"A Strange Black Stone" -Glowing Black Stone Heritage Quest

Minimum level is 25. Starts with Scholar AlQuylar, behind the Oracle Tower in Antonica (-1040, -664).

First, tap into some power sources. You should have some kind of underwater breathing buff to do the TS step safely.

Thundering Steppes: Inside a ship off the northwest coast (+1682, +309)
Nektulos Forest: In the pool underneath Timber Falls (+458, -1506)

Rreturn to Scholar AlQuylar for the next step: to recover the Brown ResearchTome on Binding at +14, +67 and the Black Research Tome on Immortality at +237,+54 in the Ruins of Varsoon. Bring a good sized group, you could be in for a rough fight if the Tomes of Life and Death are up (note that you dont have to kill these Tomes at this point, the books you need are clickable items).

Return to the Scholar, who wants you to get a Palladium Torque. These are in the loot table of a lot of 20-30 zones, our guild found one in the GL15 raid "The One That GotAway." Borrow from a friend or if youre lucky, buy one at the broker.

AlQuylar will then ask you to head back to the Ruins of Varsoon to kill the Tome of Lif eand the Tome of Death. I recommend doing the Ruins of Varsoon quest (see below) at this point, which youll need to finish to unlock the Chamber of Immortality quest to kill Varsoon eventually.

After destroying them return to Scholar AlQuylar who will send you to kill Varsoon the Undying in the Chamber of Immortality. This is an access zone. You must complete two sequential access quests to have access to the Chamber ofImmortality.

After killing Varsoon, bring your group back to Scholar AlQuylar. Hell attack you rather than part with the GBS. Kill him for your reward.

--"Ruins of Varsoon" (RoV access quest)--

Zaen Kalstir (Vermins Snye: -162, 50 - head upstairs from zone in, go straight at first large room, take first right at the second, Zaen is at the end of the hallway) gives this access quest. First you must visit the Tomb of Varsoon entrance (cross the two high bridges innorthwest Antonica, flag is near the back of the mausoleum) and return to Zaen. The second step is a longer haul, you must visit the secret entrance to Varsoon in TS. This entranceway is directly southwest of the RoV we all know sowell, just follow the wall around to the south. Odds are youll have to fight or take damage to get the flag, theentrance is defended by level 27 or so goblins. Return to Zaen.

The last step is to kill an Archaic Fury in Crypt of Betrayal. This mob spawns near one of those circular drainage areas (80, -63), just keep killing mobs in the hallway- we had to waitabout 45 min for the skelly to spawn. Hes level 23 or so. Return to Zaen to finish this quest, which will allow you to start CoI access. Note that if you visit Rune Shimmerstar in the SQ Mage Tower (red teleporter) with Zaens reward in inventory, youll get a nice little quest to kill the Tomes of Life and Death, which youll be doing anyway.

--"Where Will This Lead Me?" (Chamber of Immortality access quest)--

See Arven Oshus at Thundermist Village (+554, -82), who only speaks Halasian (buy aprimer in Graystone Yard, 12s) Remember, you must have completed the Ruins of Varsoon quest before hell give you the quest.

First task is to find the Old Hermit near entrance to Ruins of Varsoon ( RoV ),in Thundering Steppes ( TS ).

Arven wants you to talk to an Old Hermit, hes referring to An Elderly Hermit,which spawns at ( -676, 681 ) just southwest of the entrance to RoV and at (-611, 744 ) just northeast of the entrance to RoV.

The Elderly Hermit wants you to head into the Ruins of Varsoon and kill the following: Thimzem CiRe (in workshop of the enchanter, +259, +129), EtsipeYmeresh (in the workshop of the sorcerer, +298, +62), and Erbmys Sumyd (in theworkshop of the summoner, +164, +99). These are each level 35. Kill the skellie/book groups in each room… when you kill the enraged versions of these groups, you have a 50% chance to spawn the named mob
