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:
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:
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.
