Progression Path

The first step for progression is to obtain at least indifferent faction with Norrath's Keepers. To do this you can either join groups doing good missions or get solo tasks from Wayfarers Mercenaries Bitral and Elanye. Completion of any of these tasks results in a Norrath's Keepers Token. Give this to either Tatsujiro the Serene or Wayfarers Mercenary Youra to gain faction. Your starting faction is determined by your race / class combination.


Now that you are at least indifferent, you should go speak with Chieftain Relae Aderi. Hail and follow the dialog, and he will send you to speak with Private Nylaen Kel`Ther, who is just a few feet away. When you speak with him you are given the following three untimed tasks:

These tasks can be completed in any order. For the Laborers, if a group kills one, the entire group gets the credit. For the teeth and blood, only the looter gets credit.

Upon completition go back to Lavastorm and report to Chieftain Relae Aderi. He will thank you and tell you to speak with Keeper Dilar Nelune. This opens up the Children of Gimblax mission. (follow link for details) Complete the mission and return to Chieftain Relae Aderi. He will congratulate you on defeating Gimblax and reward you with 2 free spendable AA's along with "Gift of the Keepers", an AA that increases you base and max ability stats by 10. This completes tier 1 progression.


To begin tier 2 progression you must have amiable or better faction. You begin by speaking with Chieftain Relae Aderi. Hail and follow the dialog and he again sends you to Private Nylaen Kel`Ther. This time hailing Nylaen you will be given the following three untimed tasks:

Again, these tasks can be completed in any order. The Kirin kills credit the entire group, but the blood and map only credit the looter.

After finishing these tasks go back and speak with Chieftain Relae Aderi again. This opens up up Sickness of Spirit mission offered by Keeper Dilar Nelune. Complete the mission and return to the Chieftain. This time he sends you Lieutenant Ekiltu Verlor and offers the Calling Emoush. Loot a Glowing Stone Fragment from Emoush (only 6 drop) and turn it in to the Chieftan. You may turn this it at any time, even if you aren't up to this point. When all tasks, Sickness, and Emoush are completed, Chieftain Relae Aderi will reward you with 2 free spendable AA's, your level 69 DoN spell, and Valor of the Keepers which grants about 250 hp/mana/end. This completes tier 2 progression.


Tier 3 faction requires kindly or better to start. Once again we go see Chieftain Relae Aderi to kick it off. He sends us to Private Nylaen Kel`Ther for the following three tasks:

A group is recommended for the Snowfoot and the Scrolls, as they can be rather tough solo. Snowfoot kills are credited to the entire group while scrolls and water only credit the looter.

Once you are done with the tasks, return to the Chieftan. This unlocks 3 new missions. The first is a single group mission, History of the Isle, offered by Keeper Dilar Nelune. The others are offered by Lieutenant Ekiltu Verlor; a 24 person raid Trial of Preservation and a 42 person raid Volkara's Bite. Turn in the Beads and Spinners to the Chieftan and you will be rewarded with 2 free spendable AA's and Embrace of the Keepers, which is an extra buff slot. This completes Tier 3.
