Paladin Epic 2.0 Compiled Posts (complete?)
If you HAVE Redemption.

--Speak with Inte Akera in the old world Plane of Sky--

Inte Akera says, "Welcome Cladtwo, I have been waiting for you. I see
you have brought Redemption with you, which symbolizes the completion
of your training with Irak. You must know that I do not train many
knights, so for you to be here and recieving training is a special event.
You should feel honored and proud, for not many knights will get to this
point of Valor and Courage. Though, you still have a [long journey] ahead
of you.

You say, "long journey"

Inte Akera says, "Yes, this training will be long and hard, and the risk of
failure is very high. Though I have granted you the chance to train with
me, that does not mean you can falter; you must be strong and diligent.
Your training will consist of four rites: The Rite of Compassion, the Rite of
Chivalry, the Rite of Heroism, and the Rite of Cleansing. To complete
each rite you will need to acquire a token of that rite. These tokens are
very important, for they symbolize your virtues as a paladin. Once you
have all four tokens, speak to me with them in hand and I will instruct you
on further tasks. Good luck on your journey, knight."

--Note that you must be level 70 to do the majority of the rites tests--

*************************************************************


**1. RITE (Rite of Cleansing)

--Head to Felwithe, outside the Paladins guild. There you will find a Male
High Elf in silver plate armor named Galrun Starforge, Location is 47.44, -
209.82, 3.75. Hail him for the first rite quest.--

[Tue Sep 28 13:37:33 2004] You say, 'Hail, Galrun Starforge'
[Tue Sep 28 13:37:33 2004] Galrun Starforge says 'Hail to you, Seijin.
I'm very glad to see a paladin such as yourself here in Felwithe. There
have been some [odd occurrences] as of late.'
[Tue Sep 28 13:37:41 2004] You say, 'odd occurrences'
[Tue Sep 28 13:37:41 2004] Galrun Starforge says 'Yes, about a week
ago, I was helping Nora close up for the night at the Shop of All Holos. I
left the shop and decided to take a quick stroll around Felwithe before
going home to sleep, and I found something odd outside of the cleric's
guild. I saw a Vampire! He was walking around and for a second our eyes
met. . .I ran to get the guards. By the time I returned he was gone and
the guards didn't believe that a Vampire was able to get this far into
Felwithe. The next day I went and spoke to Lord Tynkale and [explained]
to him what I saw.'
[Tue Sep 28 13:38:07 2004] You say, 'explained'
[Tue Sep 28 13:38:07 2004] Galrun Starforge says 'I told him how I saw
a Vampire near the cleric's guild and how he wasn't there when the
guards returned. Lord Tynkale didn't believe me, however, he did promise
to give me a chance to prove what I saw. You will need to assist me in
proving what I saw, Seijin, for I think that Vampire may have been
scouting for an invasion of Felwithe. Go to all the cities in Faydwer and
investigate any odd occurrences there, for I think there might be other
Vampire sightings throughout the continent. Take this bag and fill it with
any proof you find. Good luck crusader.'

-He gives you 'Galrun's Bag', 4 slot GIANT lore no drop. Let the hunt
begin!




-The 4 items you need to collect are:

Orcish Battle Plans


Signus' Vampire Fangs


Teir'Dal Blood Pact


A Slain Vampire's Heart


-Teir`Dal Blood Pact: Out front of Felwithe is Guard Highmoon. Location
is -2007.07, -2343.84, 28.99.

[Tue Sep 28 16:51:33 2004] You say, 'Hail, Guard Highmoon'
[Tue Sep 28 16:51:33 2004] Guard Highmoon says 'Hail, Seijin. I got a tip
from one of our patroling guards that they saw a meeting in Lesser
Faydark between the Teir`Dal and Vampires there. Perhaps you should
check it out.'

-Head to the Tierdal camp on the southern wall of Lfay. Slaughter them (if
you wish) and go into the tent and on the table is the Blood Pact. Location
is -899.86, 1110.92, -1.67

-Orcish Battle Plans:Head to the orc lift and hail Gaurd Fayfear.

[Tue Sep 28 17:10:24 2004] Guard Fayfear says 'Salutations Seijin, nice
to meet you. We have been getting reports of activity in Crushbone lately.
The reports have indicated that an orc messenger was seen speaking to a
being of some sort. . .some say it was a vampire. Maybe you should
investigate.'

-Head to Crushbone. In the castle bottom level (same as Lord Darish)
there is a table and behind it every 2 hours for a few minutes spawns a
Lv65 Orc Messanger. Hits 900ish max, enrages, and be can stunned. He
drops the battle plans.

-A Slain Vampire's Heart:Head to Ak'Anon and you will see a gnome
outfront named Bigilam Wantilans.

[Tue Sep 28 16:36:40 2004] You say, 'Hail, Bigilam Wantilans'
[Tue Sep 28 16:36:41 2004] Bigilam Wantilans says 'Greetings Seijin!!
Something interesting has happened in the last few weeks here. . .we
found a vampire scouting Ak`anon, though no one knows why. He was
captured and slayed, and I ended up buying his heart to keep as a token
of his visit. Would you like the heart?! If you would, bring me a battery
that allows me to recharge my Anizok Maximizing Device.'

-Bring him a Class 6 Mana Battery

[Tue Sep 28 16:42:18 2004] Bigilam Wantilans says 'Good! You found a
mana battery!! Here is the heart I owe you. Bye bye now!'

-Signus' Vampire Fangs:Head to butcherblock. At the crossroads is Gaurd
Mandin.

[Tue Sep 28 18:45:03 2004] You say, 'Hail, Guard Mandin'
[Tue Sep 28 18:45:03 2004] Guard Mandin says 'Greetings, Human.
Lately there has been odd occurrences happening at night at the
Chessboard area in these mountains. Rumor has it some goblins have
been found dead the next morning near there, with their blood sucked
dry. You should investigate the area.'

-Head to the checkerboard in BB and you will see a small hut with a fire
and a dwarf named Signus Boran in front. At nightfall she turns into a 70
con mob but has VERY low dps, I never fell below 99hps taking a beating
from her but there is a trick. After she falls below 20hps you have about 5
seconds to kill her or she full heals to 100% without casting, this may be a
bug but maybe not. Solution is 2 or 3 wizards or druids or mages nuking
at same time at 20%. After her dwarf form dies she respawns as a
vampire also with low HP, max hit about 500. Kill her and loot her fang.

-Now combine all 4 items in Galrun's Bag and return the completed
product to him.

[Tue Sep 28 21:30:43 2004] Galrun Starforge says 'Ah, I see now. . .this
is the proof I needed. It appears that these Vampires are planning an
attack on all four cities in Faydwer. These battle plans show that the Orcs
are assisting the Vampires on the Kelethin front, while the Teir`Dal in
Lesser Faydark are helping the Vampires with their attack on Felwithe. In
Ak`anon and Kaladim, they are using a more deceptive approach by
sneaking into the cities or cloaking themselves as dwarves. This attack
may come any day now! We must stop this attack before it happens.
Seijin, it appears that Valdoon Kel`Novar is leading this attack against the
residents of Faydwer. The fate of the residents of Faydwer now rest on
your shoulders. Gather a party of adventurers such as yourself and return
to me. When you are [ready to fight Valdoon] I will open a passageway
for you to enter the Mistmoore Catacombs. I will only be able to open this
passageway once, so make sure to be ready. Good luck Seijin, and may
Tunare bless thee.'

**Now we are ready for a special instance of MM to kill Valdoon.**
============================================

***Get the Orcish Battle Plans, the Signus' Vampire Fangs, the Teir'Dal
Blood Pact and a Slain Vampire's Heart like described above.

Once you turned in the bag you are ready to start the Valdoon raid in
Mistmoore Catacombs!

- What we know about this raid is:
- Player limit 36 ***changed: limit is now 42***
- Time limit 180 min
- To start the expedition you need your entire raid to be with you in Felwithe. You should be raid leader (you can change this after getting the raid).
- On zoning into MM catacombs you get jumped by 4 mobs.
- Clear the entire zone including 3 guardians (3, not 4) before you fight at
first fake Valdoon and then real Valdoon. (Since the changes to raid, people have reported successfully leaving zone partially uncleared and ignoring fake Valdoon.)

- fake Valdoon is at northroom
- real Valdoon is at westroom

- Fake Valdoon is really cake
- Valdoon himself *can* hit for 4k+ but due to his low ATK he usualy hits
for *just* 2k
- He has different types of spells
- AE DoT with effects that makes you drunk
- AE stun (holds ca 5 secs)
- Single Target DD for 6k
- Have RGC casters in all groups to cure the AE lifetap dot, or Valdoon's
regen will be insane.
- He will spawn waves of 3 (easy) adds (very low HP, hit for about 1k) on
a time base outside the room.
- Have a group in entrance of westroom to intercept and kill this adds
- Have someone to chain dispell Valdoon (he has some lifetap things on
him which raise his regen)
- Note: We forgot the dispelling but we still killed him, so maybe
dispelling eases the fight.

Once Valdoon is dead loot his heart. Hail and return it to Galrun
Starforge and you will recieve the Token of Cleansing.

(Just to be sure to hail Galrun Starforge before returning the heart to
reset some invisible flags.)

**2. RITE (Rite of Compassion)
===================
--Next head on over to Natimbi.--

Under one of the tents is a halfling sitting on the ground named Kemik
Arulon. (Need exact location)--

[Thu Sep 30 18:59:11 2004] You say, 'Hail, Kemik Arulon'

[Thu Sep 30 18:59:11 2004] Kemik Arulon says 'Cough, cough, hello
Tantrik. I apologize for my cough, my sister and I were injured badly by
Muramites in Discord when some of the initial Wayfarers ventured there
to explore. I luckily escaped before being mortally injured, but I lost my
sister in the exodus. I have been stricken with some odd disease that
appears to be eating away at me everyday, and I fear there might not be
anything that can cure me. However, maybe you can try to find a cure for
me. I have heard a set of prayer beads might cleanse my body of this
illness, which can be found in various holy temples throughout Norrath.
Curing me might be hard to do, but someone in one of those temples
might be willing to help.'

--Next, head over to the spaceship in North Qeynos. Find Camlend
Serbold. (Need exact Location)--

[Thu Sep 30 19:24:56 2004] You say, 'Hail, Camlend Serbold'

[Thu Sep 30 19:24:56 2004] Camlend Serbold says 'It has been a while,
Tantrik. You look troubled, is there anything I can help you with? Do you
know anyone that needs the [curing] touch of Rodcet Nife?'

[Thu Sep 30 19:26:42 2004] You say, 'Kemik Arulon needs curing'

[Thu Sep 30 19:26:42 2004] Camlend Serbold says 'I might have
something that will aid you in curing Kemik. Make a small donation of say
500 platinum to Ziska and she will craft powerful prayer beads that will
help Kemik. With the beads Ziska crafts you will need to combine them
with [special gems].'

[Thu Sep 30 19:27:02 2004] You say, 'what special gems'

[Thu Sep 30 19:27:03 2004] Camlend Serbold says 'The gems that will be
needed I can't help you with, Tantrik. Travel to the city of North Freeport
and seek out a holy knight like yourself. Hopefully he will be able to help
you for Kernik's sake.'

--At this point you will be handed An Unfilled Set of Prayer Beads
Talk to Camlend Serbold like described above and get the Unfilled Set of
Prayer Beads (8 slot container)
-To get the beads you have to visit all paladin guildmasters:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Hail Camlend Serbold in Qeynos North.

-Give Ziska Ironforge (Qeynos) 500pp

-Run through text with Arem Ulosia (Freeport) (/say Camlend Serbold
sent me). Bag (gem) spawns at top floor in a room on a desk.

-Give General Jyleel 1000pp

-Tell Datur Nightseer (Kaladim) "Prayer Beads", he asks you to bring him
a A Bottle of Double Brewed Double Dry Stout, brew it, trivial ~253.

-Bring Shin Master Grubbus (Gukta) a summoner Quiver of Marr (mage)

-Bring Reklon Gnallen (Erudin) an Iron ratio and Mead

-Hail Lewis Reldnok (Akanon) and sit in front of him (hands you the gem)

-Run through text with Kaya Cloudfoot (Rivervale), she gives you a note
to give to Deputy Cheel (inside bank house near banker - if he isn't up
just wait for him).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--Next, head back to Natimbi and give the completed prayer beads to
Kemik:

[Fri Oct 01 09:44:47 2004] As Kemik holds the prayer beads close to him,
a blessing falls upon his body from the goddess Erolissi.
[Fri Oct 01 09:44:47 2004] Kemik Arulon begins to cast a spell.
[Fri Oct 01 09:44:47 2004] Kemik Arulon's wounds begin to heal.
[Fri Oct 01 09:44:47 2004] Kemik Arulon says 'Thank you Tantrik. Praying
with these beads has cured me of my sickness. Now, all that is left to be
done is for you to find my sister Anetal in Discord. I have received
reports that she is being held in an area called Dranik Hollows. When you
are ready, bring these prayer beads with you, gather up a few of your
friends, and return to me. I will see about opening up a passageway for you to find her.'

***********************************************************

In Dranik Hollow you have to kill a red con rat called Muridae the Plagued.
After the rat is dead hand the necklace to Anetal and then go back to
Kemik Arulon and hail him to recieve the Token of Compassion.
***********************************************************

**Muridae is decribed as follows:

OK a couple of little tips, you must have a good well balanced group, I
went with Warrior, Paladin, Druid, Cleric, Enchanter and Magician, all
Tacvi flagged, so that was a 14k warrior and Paladin. The RAT stayed
alive about 30-40 seconds, he is Undead, so there is a little justice.

You can IU all the way to the Rat, so you dont have to kill everything
unless you want too, but there is social aggro. so give yourselves some
room.

Buff up as best you can but don’t really have to bother too much, you're
going in there to burn it down, you wont have time to try and cure the
AE's, just have cures available for once the rat dies.

Fight lasted 1:50 seconds, he was at 56% when we wiped.

Group was: Paladin (70), Cleric (69) (2 boxed, weakly geared), Rogue
(70), Rogue (66), Enchanter (66), SK (66).

Went back with this group the following day:

Paladin (70), Ceric (70), Cleric (65), (Both lightly Time geared and lower)
Rogue (70), Rogue (66), Bard (67).

Everybody but the clerics are Time to Qvic equiped.

Fight lasted 2:10 seconds, rat dead. Didn't bother curing any of the AE's,
just went madhouse on the rat. I was the main tank, and I was boxing a
cleric. Fight wasn't to bad, the key was not to worry about his AE's and
just burn him down. Had 525 resists to help with the 3k lifetap. (This was
what made the difference)

************************************************************
************************************************************


**3. RITE (Rite of Chivalry)
=================
--Head to the South Ro Wayfayer camp. Look for a robed male high elf
named Instructor Maerceal. (Need Exact Location)--

You say, 'hail Instructor Maerceal'

Instructor Maercecl says 'Caladel! How I am glad to see you! Something
grave has [happened] to a stundent of mine, Keelee Rayin'

You say, 'happened'

Instructor Maercecl says 'Keelee was gathering a few research
components for different spells that i was going to create. She had visited
a few locations in Deeper Guk and then was heading to Rujarkian to
gather some items there. On her way through Oasis, she was attacked by
a band of Orcs. Caladel, you must save her! I am not sure where she is
currently, but I would begin by searching Oassis for her. Good luck, friend'



Keelee Rayin is in Oasis of Marr at loc +1489, +1312. To be more
general, the pointed stone (with 4 orcs around it) about 20 seconds south-
west from the zone-in from NRo, next to the west wall. Very close to the LDON entrances.

She's lying on the ground, FD-like.

-Talk to Instructor Maercecl in South Ro wayfarer camp like described
above.
-Now go to Keelee Rayin (Oasis at loc 1500, 1300) and hail her. This will
start the event in which you have to solo 4 waves of 4 orcs at first and
then to kill Remal the Black with a raid force.
Once Remal is dead go back to Keelee and hail her - she will give you a
broach which you can turn in for the Toke of Chivalry at Instructor
Maercecl.

--What we know about the event is here:

The event starts with 4 blue con orcs, they hit me roughly 100-600. Remal
the Black also spawns in an untargetable form, don't worry about him for
now. They are immune to snare and leashed so you gotta fight in the
circle and you gotta tank/kill all 4 at once. After a certain amount of time
another wave of 4 orcs will spawn. It is NOT triggered on the death of the
first 4 orcs, its strictly timed. So if you fall behind you can easily get more
then 4 on you. There are 4 waves in total so you must endure that long.

I was self buffed +voq/vallon and had ~12,300 hp, ~2300 ac, 12%
shielding, and roughly a 8100 mana pool with voq, wielding redemption,
also have ~930 aa for ref. The fight was fairly rough, ended with hand of
piety used, 73% life, 23% mana. They don't hit very hard individually but
4 at once puts out some decent dps. Had to spam lots of quick heals etc,
so don't take this fight lightly. Did win on my first real try of it tho. First
time I triggered it, I was just trying to stay alive, while I frantically ran
my wizard there to help because I didn't know what to expect. Soon as he
got there tho he was banished. The first time after my wiz got banished, I
backed out of leash range, and the ring despawned a few minutes later.
So, there is a timer on how long you have to win the first part, but I’m not
sure how long it is. If you fail this part Keelee will respawn in about 30
minutes. (didn’t time it)

(If you fail Keelee you shouldn't need to go back and talk with the
instructor. You should just be able to retrigger once she respawns.)

After you win all 4 waves, Keelee and Remal will both despawn and
respawn in the SE orc camp near the water. Now Remal is targetable.

--Gather up a raid force because he is mean. I got waxed fast assuming I
had to do this part solo too hehe. (Min hit on me in the short time I lived
was 1488, max 2688(@12% shielding). He has ae ramp for his max
damage, and casts 2 aes. (lucy.allakhazam.com/spell...urce=Live,
lucy.allakhazam.com/spell...ource=Live) I gathered up what force I could
at 1am and tried him with 13 people. (6 of those were being run by 1
person it was late!, another was duoed by me), We got wasted at arround
80%, he has tons of hp. I would estimate this requires a solid 4-5 groups
of Tacvi level. If you fail he stays up over 2 hours for sure, he was still up
when I checked this morning before work. Which would make it at least 9
hours (unless it respawned when I zoned back in not sure). Edit: He’s
been up like 3 days since I popped him, but this is getting fixed next time
there is a patch isn’t suppose to stay up this long.

**********************************************************
**********************************************************


**4. RITE (Rite of Heroism)
================

One group can do this event no problem!

Step1
Chat to Duram Firecaster and head to MPG. Find Pashina Clouddancer
(right circle room Power end of map). Clear the room behind Pashina.

Step2
Then say to Pashina "Duram wants you to come home". This will spawn
Diad the Devourer in the room, kill him and loot the sword. Diad cons red
but he is weak max hit on me was like 352.

Step3
Hand the sword to Pashina and say "follow", she will then follow you to
WoS zone (just like LDoN rescue). She will whine abit when you attack
stuff but thats nothing she will follow you anyhow also she does not fight.

Step4
Get to WoS zone and say "note". She will hand you a note to give to her
brother "Duram Firecaster" and he will give you Token of Heroism.


[Sun Dec 12 19:21:25 2004] Pashia Clouddancer says 'At last, I'm free
again! Thank you so much for saving me from the horrors of this vile
place. You have my gratitude. I can find my way out from here friend.
Here, take this [note] back to my brother. It should explain what good
deed you have done for me here today.'
[Sun Dec 12 19:21:25 2004] You say, 'note'
[Sun Dec 12 19:21:26 2004] Pashia Clouddancer says 'Ok, here's the
note for you. Thank you again!'
[Sun Dec 12 19:28:21 2004] You have entered Nedaria's Landing.
[Sun Dec 12 19:29:04 2004] Duram Firechaser says 'Tolantra! I see you
have returned with a letter from Pashia. I am so glad to hear she is doing
well. This letter states you slayed a beast and reclaimed Pashia's sword
for her, that is truly honorable. This letter also states you escorted her out
of a very dangerous area of Discord. . .you are truly heroic. Thank you so
much for your assistance Tolantra, here is your reward: a token of heroism'

Redeemer Tolantra Pureheart < Phantom Raiders >
Lordette of Bertoxxulous

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Turned the orb in (From CoA)

[Sun Jan 09 21:16:25 2005] Inte Akera says 'You have defeated the
minions of Anguish and have exceeded my expectations, Madlez. You

have proven yourself to be a powerful paladin and a savior of all of
Norrath. These tokens are the embodiment of your virtues, Madlez. Take
them and this scabbard and create your final sword. Place all of your
tokens into this scabbard along with Redemption and forge the sword out
of your own virtues. Today is a joyous day among paladins everywhere,
for we have a new mentor lord protector among us.

-Got 2 more token and a quiver

-Combined 6 token + Redemption in it and got:

[Sun Jan 09 21:17:14 2005] You have gained an ability point! You now
have 10 ability points.
[Sun Jan 09 21:17:14 2005] As you combine all six tokens in the
scabbard with Redemption, you feel a tugging at your soul. An energy
flows through you as you feel the virtues of your inner self being tugged
and tempered into the weapon. For a second you feel drained, but now
that feeling has subsided. A final flash of light occurs and a new sword is
tempered; Nightbane, Sword of the Valiant.
[Sun Jan 09 21:17:14 2005] You have fashioned the items together to
create something new!

Done!

For the Token of Compassion, the instance giver is Kemik Arulon in Natimbi and the instance is off of Dranik's Scar (north most cave entrance of the instances).

Also, it's Duram Firechaser you need to talk to to start the quest for the 4th token, not Firecaster.

All phases of the 2.0 even anguish orb were easaly soloed in moderate gear at level 95 with group who helped me request fights not in comming to the raids.
