QUEST AT A GLANCE
1. The first part entails gathering 10 different shards from all over luclin.
2. For the second part, you will need to obtain a Scepter Frame and combine the 10 shards to reassemble the Scepter. This Scepter is now a 2 slot container.
3. The third part will require the killing of the Emperor and looting a Staff. This Staff has 2 charges of Summon a Shaded Sphere. Zaar of Triton confirmed it with : Yea 2x charges of 20 power source, so 40.
4. The fourth part is the re-energizing of the Scepter by combining the Orb of Luclinite and the summoned Shaded Sphere in the reassembled Scepter.
5. Enjoy your key as the final product is the Scepter of Shadows aka Vex Thal Key - Item 22198 in Magelo.
6. Use key to enter Vex Thal ======> spell effect is not relevant.

LIST AND LOCATIONS OF ITEMS NEEDED
Shards

Please note that the Maiden Eye shard seems to be the most elusive to obtain. It drops from a few different Gorangas but seems to require heavy camping. Sorry! Let's hope that the May 8th patch may answer our prayers for many, many drops. Indeed, the drops have been increased in ME. Thanks!

Shard 1: The Grey - Kel - 22185 - Boulder, Sun Revenants
Shard 2: FG - Dat - 22186 - Shik'Nar Warrior, Soldier, Royal and possibly Forager
Shard 3: Scarlet Desert - Set - 22187 - Sun Revenants and Sun Reavers.
Shard 4: The Deep - Raf - 22188 - Thought Leeches or Thought Horrors
Shard 5:Ssra - Vin - 22189 - Skeletal Drudge and a few more random mobs
Shard 6:Akheva - Dax - 22190 - Xi Vius or Shadow Reavers - Roudy Rubble - Shade Golem
Shard 7 : Dawnshroud - Lor - 22191 - Rockhoppers - Sambata
Shard 8: Maiden Eye - Tak - 22192 - Goranga Forager, Gatherer, Hunter, Prophet, Seer
Shard 9:Acrylia - Ved - 22193 - Grimling Skullcrackers
Shard 10:Sanctus Seru - Kelara - 22194 - A Legionneer of the Hand at Marus Seru zone

Other Items and Containers
Summoned from Emperor Staff: Shaded Sphere - 22195
Glowing Orb of Luclinite - 22196
Sceptre of Akelha Ra FRAME - 17323.

The first container you will need is the Sceptre of Akelha Ra FRAME. It is a 10 slot container than holds only tiny items. It is originally called the Shadowed Scepter Frame. The reassembled Scepter is a 2 slot container that will be used to combine the Sphere and Orb.

Vex Thal Key
The Scepter of Shadows - Item 22198

A FEW DETAILS, QUOTES AND DIALOGUES
This has been copied from several posts and consolidated. Again, credit goes to original posters.

GETTING THE SCEPTER IN AKHEVA...

Getting ready for the dialogues...
Head to Akheva. From the zone in, run straight, past the fallen pillar. When you get to the next room, head right. Going left will take you to Va'Dyn. Go down the next set of stairs. To your right is IV. Go left, you will see a large "gate" with two "shades" standing on the left and right edges of this gate.

Pull the far right shade, it will bring 2 mobs. Clear them, then move in hugging the right side. Cross directly over the open area and kill the alien midget mob that is by a set of stairs. Then run up those stairs where you will fight 3 alien mobs that have 4 arms each. They only hit for ~160s and can be slowed. Be sure to root the last one. Sometimes they will drop a "Ans Xundrau xi Tekar" 13/25 3 to all stats dagger, melee and caster only.

At this point, you can drop down from the stairs and you will see a number of green con "Sacrificed Remains" and a "Shimmering Presence."

From there you will need items from a mage and a necro to continue the script.

Dialogues and actions...
A shimmering presence's voice invades your mind.
'Shadows can not exist without light. Bring me a wisp stone so that my balance can be righted by their soft glow.

This points to a MAGICIAN SPELL:
Name: Summon Wisp
Level: 4
Type: Summon a No-Rent Miscellaneous Object
Actual Effects: Summons Wisp
Description: This will summon a "wisp stone" that acts as a light source when worn for those who cannot see well at nighttime.

Give the summoned Wisp stone and Spirit of Akelha `Ra will spawn.

You say, 'Hail, The Spirit of Akelha`Ra'
The Spirit of Akelha`Ra 's hollow eyes look up at you. You have the distinct impression that she can see right into the darkest shadows of your soul. She opens her mouth to speak but the sounds you hear come from inside your mind. 'Greetings mortal, thank you for releasing me from my [tormented prison].
You say, 'what tormented prison'
The Spirit of Akelha`Ra appears to be fading in and out of existence as you speak to her. The spirit's voice fills your mind. 'I am Akelha`Ra, once high priestess of Luclin and leader of the Akheva. This form you see before you now is a fading remnant of my former existence. The storm was the cause of my imprisonment in the world of undying [spirits].

You say, 'what spirit'
The Spirit of Akelha`Ra says 'We Akheva are immortal entities placed in this plane by the mistrees of shadow. We are her most perfect creation. Death has no meaning to us, as even in death we find rebirth through the power of the mistress. My imprisonment was caused by my seperation from the power of the mistress by [Atenha`Ra]. It was she who sent the storm to destroy me and all that followed me. '

You say, 'who is atenha ra'
The Spirit of Akelha`Ra says 'It is more then a little ironic that Atenha`Ra is a reflection of myself. An entity created from my own consciousness, a reflection of a shadow. She now holds the seat of grand power in [Vex Thal], and I have not the power to gain entry to the city, let alone face her. You must find my scepter that was lost in the storm to gain entry to Vex Thal. The scepter has likely lost much of it's power from being shattered. Once it is reassembled you will need to merge a Orb of Luclinite with a source of celestial power inside the scepter. The spirits whisper that the emperor of the Shissar holds the power to manipulate such energy. Be weary of him, he is heralded as the slayer of gods, the defiler of realities. '

You say, 'what Vex Thal'
The Spirit of Akelha`Ra says 'Vex Thal is the sacred home of the Akheva. The place where Luclin's power directly touches this world...ungh... I can not summon the frame of my scepter in my current weakened state. I need a soul to regain my pow...' As she speaks you can see her slowly fade out of existence. You wonder how long her spirit will stay with this world. She seems entirely unable to speak to you now, and can only muster the strength to point at the ground at Dimi 's feet. Dimi reaches down a picks up a small emerald off the ground, but it disappears silently into the shadows. Akelha`ra looks as if she is trying to speak again. '

This points to a Emerald Essence. Hand it in to collect the Scepter Frame that will allow to reassemble the Scepter.

You say, 'what frame of your scepter'
The Spirit of Akelha`Ra opens her mouth to speak, but the voice in your head is no longer audible. You reach forward to touch the fading shadow of a creature and draw back in horror as your hand disrupts the spirit before you. She evaporates into the shadows once more.

Poof :(

If you're gonna nail'em for grammar might as well indicate that by "weary" they probably meant "wary."

Thanks! But I have done nothing but a bit of plagiarism. I will try to go back and give proper credit to the original authors.

In the meantime, I hope that whomever worked so hard on the preliminary threads (Shard location, Akhevan language, etc) wont get too pissed at seeing a summary.

[EZ_Smoking Dorf]

Uh. Items can only have one effect. So supposing your shadow warding theorry is correct (something i dont believe) scepter would have one of the 5 shadowwardings and just 5 charges of it. That shadowwarding thing actually looks more like a RoF knocker or something to that effect.

I assume this since its the only summoning spell necros get (besides pet, corpse and such) and would make perfect sense.

[EZ_Xiggin]

I agree that the reference to a Necro item is rather arcane.

I left it in the text because I quoted it directly from Zarin Dantarga (Siyni of Legacy of Sorrow). Later Siyni stated: Pardon me, what part of my post is incorrect? when someone challenged her information. So, I left the text as originally posted.

Also in the very beginning someone made a post about needing a necro to claim the artifact, albeit that sounded like a joke.






Edited by: Xiggin at: 4/23/02 8:32:21 pm

[EZ_Gudeldar]

I'm also curious to know what response you get from saying What is Vex Thal.

[EZ_Xiggin]

Zaar confirmed that each charge of the Staff will summon a stack of the power source. :)

Yea 2x charges of 20 power source, so 40.

[EZ_uruitia]

Last home of the akhevians sealed up from this world and the place where luclin's power touches this world, or something like that if i remember right, may have been something else...

[EZ_Smoking Dorf]

[qute]Where does it need a necro item? I have not found a single person stating an Essence Emerald was ever needed. Someone threw it out as wild speculation and it seems to have taken a life of it own. Please state where this item is ever needed cause I've not seen it mentioned once in any NPC script, just the Wisp Stone and then the summoned globe from Emporer's Scepter. [/quote]

Hahahaha

[EZ_Snarky00]

Heh look forward to seeing a Ring of Luclin quest in Vex thal to get the real sol uber mob to spawn.

[EZ_TPFethos]

so you have a key. and that key lets your entire raid into vex thal 5 times? then you have to get another key? Did i read that right? so you have to kill the emprorer once every 10 times you visit VT?

[EZ_Twiggie Tymberwolf]

No one has gotten a key yet (or at least they aren't saying if they did). So no one knows how many charges (if it does have charges) the key has. I doubt it has any charges at all and its just a permanent key like VP or ST keys.

The only confirmed charged item is the Scepter off Emporer. It has 2 charges that summon a stack of 20 orbs. So you can make 40 keys per Emporer kill.

[EZ_Ayin Tovah]

I think that they did mean weary...
What other emotion would be expected after camping keys and bane weapon parts

[EZ_Candarie]

So.... with this effect being AoE ... Could anyone from Triton confirm whether this has a Yes/No box to port in ...

*visions of activating this at some very populated locations* ...

mmm ....

[EZ_Yiumlaien]

...that everyone could theoretically make that key, the problem is just to CHARGE it... to charge the key u need that orb of luclinite and one of those 40 things summoned by the staff droped by the Emperor. If u charge it, then u have 5 charges of AE port to Vex Thal, means 5 Raids.

That means one Emperor kill equals 40 times 5 Raids , thats 200 Raids to Vex Thal. After that u need to kill the Emperor again.

That would also mean each guild "just" needs one key...

That would also mean each guild not capable killing the Emperor would "just" have to BUY one of those 40 summoned things to get their key working 5 times = 5 Raids...

Looks like a new way to get some money for the UBOR guilds )

[EZ_uruitia]

Am i missing something.... but where did this AE junk come in....

When i spoke to Akhela'Ra, says that because the scepter was broken to recharge it to the way it once was before the shards had broken apart you would need to merge the orb and source.... lez repeat...

b/c it was broken apart is why she said it needs to be recharged. And im pretty sure if it was a PBAE VI would be very direct about it so ppl didnt mess up and port other ppl that didnt want too

[EZ_Yiumlaien]

In the original post:

At this time is SEEMS that the final Scepter will have this effect:
Effect is Shadow Warding and can use 5 times.
Shadow Warding 1~5
Teleport to location 0,596 in vexthal
Allowable Targets: Target Based AoE
Range to Target: 200 feet
Area Effect Range: 100 feet


So there comes this "junk" from... just read carefully

And i guess it works like a TL with a box where u can decline it if u dont want to join the raid... but im pretty sure that any guild who is about to do a VT Raid will choose a lonely place to start the raid to avoid other guilds to jump in...

[EZ_Chukzombi]

The quest is spoiled, no need to waste everyone's time with useless conjecture.
When Triton finishes the quest im sure you will see an update which will satisfy your curiosity.

[EZ_Xiggin]

The quest is spoiled to a large extent. It would still be nice to have 'conclusive" evidence of all the steps.

Working on one of those is like a game. It is totally acceptable for people to post their ideas or speculation, good and bad. It is also acceptable for people "in the know" to give clues instead of the direct information. That is the way we always progress.

In the end, I hope that people will have access to a finished and verified quest spoiler. Then this board would have accomplished another very valuable step in making everyone EQ time more valuable.

PS We still need the location of 10th shard. :)

[EZ_uruitia]

Well in my own opinion, Akhela'Ra says your getting the source and orb to recharge it because it was broken not because it requires double A batterys of emp staff summons heh =p

And if it was to req charges how would it be recharged from single item? run out of charges and do the key again? I know VI is a lil silly sometimes but not that silly

How would they make it to have another shaded globe put another charge on it after the charges had been used?

[DarthEnder]

Put the staff and a source ball in a toolbox?

[EZ_Nuvian Caelestis]

I hope it's not charged, that would just be annoying. And if you think anyone's going to be selling power sources so other guilds on their servers can go compete with them in VT you're nuts heh.

[EZ_Shiba]

Even if someone was stupid enough to sell off charges for guild fund (wouldn't ever happen)...Logic (Comparing Trakanon/VP key to Emperor/VT key) would indicate if you can't kill the emperor yourself, the yard trash in VT would hand your ass to you. I'm sure there's a few guilds (at least on my server) that would be stupid enough to try if they were able to buy the charges, but like I said, I don't see it happening, ever.

[EZ_Adorean]

I certainly hope that the ME rod drops off something other than the Forager. After 2 days of camping that guy (25 minute spawn). We've popped him a total of 4 times and had him drop the shard 0 times. Rare drop from a rare slow spawn... Booya.

[EZ_Skido]

In ME are the Scouts placeholders for Foragers, or is there a specific location he spawns?

[EZ_kamster1]

Tm off vampires would be my guess, someone mentions it and it makes sense since there is a shard in katta

[EZ_Yiumlaien]

im nuts thinking that some ubor guild will sell charges? )

well, think about it again:

a guild who killed the emperor will definately kill him again , and that looong before they did 200 (!!!) raids on VT... so what to do with the other power sources?

they wont be in VT all the time and i guess VT is more than big enough to keep a few raid partys...

and i guess that hunting the "normal" mobs in VT is MUCH easier than killing the emp, so the fact that a guild is not able to kill the emp doesnt mean at all that it isnt able to kill stuff in VT...

[EZ_Tyzman]

I highly doubt any guild would sell charges...

The obvious reason has already been mentioned...

It makes no sense to help the competition get into Vex Thal. Even if the zone can accommodate more then one guild (speculation), why would you want anyone else there if you could avoid it? There is simply no reason to do so, regardless of the amount of pp offered.

The better reason is...

Why would anyone who spend countless hours farming keys and shissar bane weapons just hand over the charges? After all that work, there is zero chance they would help anyone avoid the same workload. Anyone who enters Vex Thal will have put an enormous amount of work into it, I doubt anyone who has gone through that much work will want to see someone use any "shortcuts"

[EZ_Nuvian Caelestis]

Trust me, no guild is going to be selling charges regardless of how many they have if they're smart (we won't be I'm sure).

Why should someone get to bypass all the work it took us just by being able to hand over some plat? Why would we want to have to compete with another guild in Vex Thal?

[EZ_Twiggie Tymberwolf]

What good is plat at that level anyway? Most guilds of that level have hundreds of thousands of plat in the bank anyway. Not like you can buy any gear at that level of the game since its most all no drop.

[EZ_Korensky]

Peridots are expensive..........

[EZ_LoneWar]

FOUND 10th Lucid Shard

Sun Revenants and Sun Reavers in Scarlet Desert on the plateau.

Got 3 shards tonight for members of Talisman on the Tunare Server.

Now Triton go into Vex Thal and tell us what its like.

[EZ_BattleheartWinterfox]

I'm just wondering... once you complete the Scepter, then you combine (In the scepter) Orb of Luclinite and the Celestial power thing from the Emperor and you get a key. Does the Scepter poof as well in the combining? Or do you get to keep that to make more keys? Just wondering because it would be a real pain in the ass to have to get all those shards multiple times.

[NightGod]

I'd say chances are about 99.9% that the sceptre will poof and you have to recamp the shards and about 0.1% (that may be high) that it will remain. Grats timesink number four on the road to Vex Thal...

[EZ_Xiggin]

I just added this part on top of spoiler...

Update: Need to verify some info about the last part. I believe that the Scepter had a click-effect that summons a new 2-slot container. It is in this container that one should place the Orb and the Shaded Sphere to make the key. Can anyone confirm or dispell?

[EZ_Nistyre]

Got a lucid shard from a goranga prophet, identifies as Tak, not Tek. Guess it's just a typo from the original poster, otherwise we have an 11th shard~

[EZ_Cragael]

There is alays the possibility that the restored scepter, once the frame and the 10 links are combined, ends up being a persistent container, same as a sewing kit. I.e. that the combine of the globe and the shaded sphere in the restored scepter results in an empty restored scepter and an item with the charges of Vex Thall portal.

The fact that the emperor's rod seems to summon *stacks* of shaded spheres seems to point to that, in fact. The emperor's kill being the most challenging part of the quest and resulting in possibly hundreds of charges of portals.

Would be a pain in itself (storing containers is so much less convenient than storing items), but less than having to redo the scepter for every key.

[EZ_Xiggin]

Humm - for some reason, I cannot get the Magelo items to show up.

I will try to verify soon.

I guess that the first sign of senility is a loss of eyesight. :)

[EZ_IceIsFun]

Or maybe you just combine the power source and glowing orb inside the staff and get a key...

[EZ_Ddrak NFyre]

If the effect of the completed staff was to summon something you'd expect something in spdat.

Ddrak

[EZ_Zophim]

Xiggin, you might want to update the Ssra dropped shard. It drops off of more than just 1 skeleton. From all I've seen drop, it seems to be completely random off any non-named skeleton.

Blades of Wrath

[EZ_Xiggin]

I will update the spoiler. It seems to confirm that VI increased the drops for the shards. The more the merrier.

I am checking on that last combine too. :) But no concrete information yet.

You click the Scepter from Emperor Ssraeshza and you recieve a stack of 20 power sources. The staff also has 2 charges so it yields 40 power sources.

I would assume you combine all shards in the frame which would result in a 2 slot container for an orb of luclinite and the power source (which when combined would then get you the key).

[EZ_Xiggin]

Thank you Rombus for the post.

This would obviously be a bit different than what I had picked up earlier. It is hard to segregate speculation from true facts since only a handful of people might have gotten that far. :)

For the time being, I will leave it as follows:

1. Add the ten shards to the frame from Akheva.
2. Combine to make the Scepter. This Scepter seems to be a 2 slot container.
3. Add the Orb of Luclinite AND one of the summoned Shaded Spheres.
4. Combine to re-energize the Scepter.
5. Obtain Vex Thal key ====> form and fashion still unknown
6. Use key to enter Vex Thal ======> possibly thru a spell effect.

We will probably have to be a bit patient to get this confirmed. Edited by: Xiggin at: 4/26/02 7:05:03 pm

Edit: wasnt paying attention, nevermind

[EZ_Fastasia]

Just an observation on the shards and why they seem like a rare drop....

If the shard is a random drop on any 50+ mob in the zone then it makes sense that it seems rare since some of these zones rarely spawn a level 50 mob. So far the drops seem more common, the higher in level the mob. If a mob is 45-50 it still cons blue to a 60 even though it may not be high enough to be able to drop the shard. Thus the reason it drops off mobs like the Hunters in ME or the Sun Revenants in the Grey or the mobs a bit deeper in Acrylia.

My suggestion is to try to get the highest level mobs you can in those zones and see if the randomness seems to go down a bit.

Just some thoughts,

Fasty

[EZ_kinu]

I can confirm combining the 10shards give you a container with 2 slots.

[EZ_Demott the Cavalier]

Anyone know if the ME shard drops on anthing else but gotanga? liek the 4 arm freaks and stuff since they are almsot all over 55+ think those would be a faster way to get shard than goranga.

[EZ_Kastrina]

Well, I could complete this stupid key if a Maidens Eye shard ever drops, It's the very last thing I need.

Kastrina Troy
-Triton-

[EZ_Qhue]

Most of the shards can be found fairly easily once you know EXACTLY where to go and what to kill, for whatever reason the Maiden's eye one is still fairly elusive because we simply havent found the single best source of shards in the place... that and the whole zone is a massive train-fest of HT mobs....

[EZ_Lathes]

You can zone in to Vex Thal through UP using Magical GM Key. Clicking on the door zones you in (two months ago though it did not, it just opened the door into a void that would push you back). This leads me to believe that the final product you get will be a key you click on the door to zone in, not a gate spell or effect.

[EZ_Kastrina]

Completed the quest... After combining the 10 lucid shards in the frame, it combines into a 2 slot container. After putting an orb of luclinte and the piece from the Emperor it combines into a "The Scepter of Shadows" , it's lore, no drop, and is soul bound. It works just like a regular key, so you all can drop the speculation that it was going to be an AE port.

And one more thing, if you're not in a guild that can kill the Emperor, please for the love of god stop camping these lucid shards, they DO YOU NO GOOD.

Kastrina Troy
-Triton-

[EZ_Nazghal]

Yea Kastrina entered Vex Thal earlier

Here's the description of events..

The zone in is a small room, with a locked door and a naked male human.

Hail, 'Shadow Warden'
The Shadow Warden sneers at you and says, 'Well it appears you've proven your determination in rebuilding the lost scepter. Congratulations mortal on reaching the threshhold of the city, but before you can walk through the city of shadow you must yourself become a shadow. I do have a medallion which when worn will give you a ghostly appearance. Perhaps I could be [convinced] to loan it to you.'


Thus begins time sink #17 or is it #18 in Luclin

[EZ_Undaine]

nm u r bastard for even saying it though ... but I wont spoil it for the rest

regardless it wouldnt have supprised me Edited by: Undaine at: 4/29/02 2:50:51 am

[EZ_Ashwynd]

please listen to kastrina regarding not camping shards if your guild cannot handle stuff like mobs in ToV. That was not directly quoted from kastrina but you get what I mean. Lots of guilds seem to be camping shards and they don't even have any emperor keys or anything =( btw, gl campin the ME shard, guildie of mine has been there 3 days straight (if not longer) with 0 drops.

[EZ_The Wolfen]

The lucid shard that drops from the sun revenants and reavers in Scarlet Desert doesn't just drop from the ones on the plateau. I found one on one of the revenant spawns near the zone edge last night.

Feh, we have guilds that can't handle AOW camping Shards on our server. Talk about frustrations on top of frustrations.

Gah, you actually have to have a key for each person eh? Ummm I hope the spawn timer on Emperor isn't once every 8 days......

Kastrina, thanks for the updates.

If it is possible could you take some screenshots of the items that you have at the end of quest (like the key or any version of Scepter). I would love to finish the spoiler and incorporate a few pics.

You can always send to me at xiggix@aol.com and I can publish them, if you would like. I got plenty of space.

Thanks in advance.

[EZ_Ilsi]

Most the younger people on my server have been really nice about shards.. if they are camping something for exp and I come to camp a shard they tell me they will watch for one for me since they will not need it. =) Got my first shard like that and I think its very admirable of people to share thier camp with me so I can get shards. There is one guild here camping Emp key peices and there is no way they can ever kill emp shrug, but I havent seen them in my way for shards. Maybe those other peopel on your servers will come to their sense

[EZ_Lathes]

The mobs at the zone in aren't naked humans. Not to me anyway. They looks like the standard rock person graphic all too common throughout Luclin. I forget the name of the guy there but it sounded named.

[EZ_Kastrina]

I uploaded the VT key into Magelo, so it should be there under "The Scepter of Shadows". Nothing special about it, just a key, with the graphic of a scepter.

[EZ_Yayanono]

dont supose you want to tell us what you got your ME shard off of?

[EZ_Xiggin]

There is a thread for the ME Shard.

pub35.ezboard.com/fthesaf...4790.topic

However, the information on the top of spoiler is still correct as it points to Goranga Prophet, Gatherer, Hunter, etc.

As far as I know, nobody has posted a definitive shortcut for that elusive shard.

[EZ_Yayanono]

Was asking Kastrina the person who has completed the quest you know, where she got the shard. Im sorry if I dont trust some guy with one post saying "I looted it off a corpse I just found near Ahkeva"

[EZ_Xiggin]

That is cool but there has quite a few more posters who have pointed towards the same mobs, being the various Gorangas.

And if you remember, Kastrina had a "hard" time with this drop as well. The ME has been the bottleneck for many people.

[EZ_Smoking Dorf]

Well, if you want more info I was helping a friend with the Xi Thall. While we were at it I /ooc´d for the shard. Couple hours later someone sent me a tell they had obtained it, that no one in the group was interested so I could loot it. Thats why I cant provide more info about it.

EDIT: oh, if you bothered to click on my profile you would see this account has been registered over a year with near 500 posts. And its neither the first time I poste on the Safehouse Edited by: Smoking Dorf at: 4/30/02 11:53:08 am

[EZ_Shortyrez]

First off, I'm not camping shards and quite frankly I don't care to. I know I'm nowhere ready to enter VT.

But if these people wanna camp shards, there's not much you can do about it. As for saying they can't kill the emperor, I don't think that is a valid statement. 40 pieces from emperor each week means unless you are a total zerg guild, you will not need that staff he drops for more than 2-3 kills. What then? Are you going to destroy the 40 extra pieces each week? Or more likely are you going to give them to friends and/or sell them? Please don't say he drops crap loot and you will be done killing him once you are all keyed, I know that won't happen.

[EZ_IceIsFun]

Giving the power sources to people outside your own guild would be sheer stupidity.

"Here, we don't have competition in enough zones atm, so please go outfit your guild with VT keys so we can have spawn racing/camps in there, too."

[EZ_Schezar]

Yup. I don't think anyone will be assheaded enough to share the summoned orbs. This means Vex Thal will be province to at most 1-2 guilds per server, possibly ever, seeing how many guilds are able to do AOW/Tunare at this point.

[EZ_Twiggie Tymberwolf]

The only guilds that will be selling the power sources will be those like Fires of Heaven that leave an expansion as soon as the new one comes out. For 99% of the guilds out there, don't expect them to sell the power sources for a very, very long time. Sorry, but guilds that can kill the Emporer don't need cash, and they definately don't need or want competition in Vex Thal.

[EZ_cardiacarrest100]

so, guilds that can kill emperor wont sell power source, so they can monopolize the spawns, and this is a good tactic. Yet some think that others who can kill the weak enemies who drop shards should let their uber guild have the shards. no thanks, if I see any of these shards drop I'll destroy them.

[EZ_Blaque Majik]

then you sir are a newb and a disgrace to the erudian race.

[EZ_Twiggie Tymberwolf]

Oh I see, so they should spend weeks on end doing the massive time sinks for keys and weapons so they can kill Emporer and they are just supposed to hand the power sources over so gimpy guilds that can't even kill Rhag's can just skip all that work...

[EZ_Xiggin]

Let's stick to confirming the spoiler's information. Please?

Let's not fall in the trap to discuss the required strength of the guilds that can enter Vex Thal. A similar thread on the Druid Grove was nothing short of being utterly pathetic.

Vex Thal is similar to Sleepers. It takes high level encounters to get the necessary keys and it takes high level guilds to fight when making it inside. It was designed that way and seems to work as intended, albeit at a great time expense.

The best thing to do is ignore the posters who complain about them possibly being locked out of a zone they have no business to want to enter in the first place.

[EZ_Kanamdar]

It is not Sleeper's Tomb.

It is far worse than Sleeper's Tomb.

By my own rough estimations, you'll need an investment of about 400h of camps and raiding to get a key (along with your guildmates. If you're greedy, pick the first drop all the time, and never come back at that specific camp/raid after, you can of course do it in less. Assuming your guild doesn't kick you out if you do that). and that's done by estimating the camp time to get 6 drops for one-group doable camps, 12 for 2-groups, or 30 for 30-people raids.

Yep, about 400h @#%$ hours of play time. And I'm probably optimistic on some drop rates.

In fact, the killing of the emperor itself (once you manage that) is probably the best part/time ratio. One fight, 40 pieces.

[EZ_murghkhor]

Camping shards is the stupidest timesink.

They should increase the shard drop rate throughout and make the Emperor drop only 10 spheres at a time and put a 1 week respawn on him. That way the same guild wont enter VT any faster and would atleast have some more fun finishing the keys plus get some Emperor loot while at it, not to mention it wiull get rid of this incessant bickering.

[Lomack]

I can confirm that "Shard 1: The Grey - Kel - 22185 - Boulder, Sun Revenants (?)" does drop from Sun Revenants. Group of mine was killing them, as well as other stuff in the area. Had 2 drop in under an hour. Both from Sun Revenants.

[EZ_DaltenEQ]

The Deep shard....

Is it possible for the Thought Leech Invoker to spawn anywhere?

Seen a ton of A Thought Leech Evokers, no Invokers though...

THanks.

Also about the Akheva Shard... A Shade Golem which only spawns from traps dropped a lucid shard as well... Edited by: DaltenEQ at: 5/5/02 2:34:23 pm

[EZ_Radiation911]

Can anyone confirm the Shik'nar Foragers dropping the shard?

[EZ_Tyknee]

In the interest of making a complete spoiler, I pose the following suggestion:

Include where to obtain the "Orb of Luclinite". I've heard 'Luclin high end mobs' but maybe a list of those? For example, does Da'Vym drop it? Grieg? IV? Burrower? The Emporer? What about all those other named in the Ssra temple?

I'll admit as to not being very Luclin literiate. I stopped playing note too long after this expansion came out, but have recently returned.

[EZ_Yayanono]

If you dont know what a high end luclin mob is, DO NOT START COLLECTING SHARDS.

Shiknar warriors only - level 60.

[EZ_Tenille]

Seen Rhag 1 and 2 drop Orbs. Reportedly most "boss mob" types in luclin drop them as well.

[EZ_Demott the Cavalier]

Wars and Royals drop FG shard.

[EZ_Dorian Brytestar]

All the same, no named without the "A".

[Iustus]

Does anyone have a good way to get the Shimmering Presence to spawn, or understand its spawning pattern? After wasting a couple hours yesterday, I thought I would come here to see if someone else knows.

We tried killing all the sacrificial remains or just killing the back sacrificial remains. Once we saw a shimmering presence spawn, but some idiot cleric killed it. It didnt spawn again after much trying.

I dont know if a shimmering presence is a week spawn thats delayed from server up, or its on its own spawn and spawns/despawns or if one (or all) of the sacrificial remains are placeholders for it. Anyone have any idea? Has anyone seen a shimmering presence up with all four sacrifical remains?

-Iustus

[EZ_Dorian Brytestar]

Just whack the remains, the shimmering thing will pop.

[EZ_Yayanono]

Just keep killing those remains and the presence will spawn again.

You seem to be thinking that you can hand in multiple Wisps/EE's, you can not. One shimmering presence = 1 shadowed scpeter frame.

I like to think of it as a camp for an 11th shard, as it can sometimes take a long time for the shimmering persences to spawn.

[EZ_Wrexen]

Anyone else remember when someone posted about the Vex Thal key saying "You'd better bring a magician" and he just got flamed into oblivion? Haha...

Can anyone confirm if a shard drops off Rygan anisher in ahkeva.

[EZ_Davood Daehmon]

Shard 2: FG - Dat - 22186 - Shik'Nar Warrior, Soldier, Royal and possibly Forager



Can anyone confirm that it drops from the soldiers?
If so then that camp isn't so bad.

[EZ_Linora]

Everyone I know who has the FG shard got it off the lv 60 Shik'Nar Warriors. Killed tonnes of soldiers and foragers as well never dropped off them for anyone I know.

[EZ_YanaBanana]

1. SSRA --- Basement mines. Can be off any skeletons but high drop rate on skeletion drudges, which are in the back half of the mines. ( uncommon )
2. Santus Seru --- all the legionares etc. At zone is good for solo, go in a bit and go up via telepad to kill around the ring wall is good for group. ( rare )
3. Fungus Grove --- Warriors/Royal( lvl 60 only ) ( rare )
4. Dawnshroud --- Rockhopper/Sambata cave, either can drop ( common )
5. Thegrey --- Named Rockfiend, Sun Revs at NE corner around lake. ( uncommon )
6. Scarlet Desert --- Sun Rev/Reavers ( common )
7. Ahkeva --- Shaded Rock, Roudy Ruble, Xi Vius, Xi Xiau, Shadow Reaver etc. Either camp Va Dyn room or IV prep room. ( uncommon )
8. The Deep --- Any though horrors. Best drop rate is pass the invis bridge near THO area before Elder Thought Horrors. ( uncommon )
9. Acrylia --- 2 Skullcracker/Runed at the city gates. So far only seen shard drop from those 2 spawns. ( uncommon )
10. Maiden's Eye --- Goranga Prophet, Battlemaster, Seer, Forager, Savant. Not 100% drop. PH for the goranga named are Goranga Scouts. ( very rare ) This is the bottle neck shard.

[EZ_Kiladrain]

named mobs like the seer seem to be the best source ive heard of. But two seer kills and no shard. Taken me 15 hours + just to get 2 of him to pop. Also cant be done solo, so lets assume 3 people are needed just to farm the 3 scouts to get the seer. Almost two days play time (between us) in this timesink for 1 shard of 10 and not one shard for us.

There must be somthing im missing surely, i heard it was a 1 in 800 drop rate off normal space monkies, but i dont think they even drop off them. Ive talked to many people in ME and killed a few myself, most people who hunt there day in day out dont ever see a shard.

[EZ_Kalran]

bump, to keep from having a flurry of "How do I do the VT key quest" questions.

[EZ_Davood Daehmon]

The Maiden's Eye Shard, and the fungus grove shard suck real bad in terms of rarity. Think Pained soul for VP key, and add in random trains (maidens eye), and lots of adds if runners aren't snare (he he he fungus grove). and finally, add in the fact that everyone can get to these places easily. At least that lame pained soul camp was out of the way, and poor xp for anyone that would be hanging around there. the FG and ME camps are decent xp, and decent loots too.

Then add in the fact that everyone and their grandmother are collecting these shards, whether or not they are ever going to combine them, and create the unadorned sceptre, which they could theoretically do, but then why? I recently had an argument with someone who was level 55, and was "working on his shards" anyways I won't bore you all with server politics.

Apparently you could trigger the script and (heaven forbid) AE the mobs that spawned. Verant no likey likey, so the spawns have been removed until at least the next patch.

[EZ_Jardain]

[EZ_Madai]

I wonder what you mean by common vs uncommon. I'd say in my limited experience that the Akheva shard is as common as the SD shard. The biggest guild on TP is telling people to send tells keys drop, but no one came :P Oh well, I bet they'll come for ME shard :P

[EZ_flapflapflap]

Would like to point out that the Sanctus Seru shard [kelara] also drops off the Katta Castellum legionnarie's. I have seen them drop off the ones in the Manor near Lcea Katta at a high rate. I suppose this was done for faction issues. Additionally, it seems to be a common, not rare drop at both locations.

[EZ_Xiggin]

Is this part of the quest still the same after the numerous patches? I remember reading that something MIGHT have changed and I wanted to keep the spoiler as updated as feasible. Thanks.

Quoted:
Head to Akheva. From the zone in, run straight, past the fallen pillar. When you get to the next room, head right. Going left will take you to Va'Dyn. Go down the next set of stairs. To your right is IV. Go left, you will see a large "gate" with two "shades" standing on the left and right edges of this gate.

Pull the far right shade, it will bring 2 mobs. Clear them, then move in hugging the right side. Cross directly over the open area and kill the alien midget mob that is by a set of stairs. Then run up those stairs where you will fight 3 alien mobs that have 4 arms each. They only hit for ~160s and can be slowed. Be sure to root the last one. Sometimes they will drop a "Ans Xundrau xi Tekar" 13/25 3 to all stats dagger, melee and caster only.

At this point, you can drop down from the stairs and you will see a number of green con "Sacrificed Remains" and a "Shimmering Presence."

From there you will need items from a mage and a necro to continue the script.....

[EZ_Praetor the Crusader]

Anybody else notice a decreased spawn rate in Dawnshroud Peaks? There hasn't been a single shard drop in the last day or so according to the people camping there, and I've personally put in about eight hours killing light blues for nothing.

Thoughts?

Can anyone please confirmed the shard in grey only drops off named rockfiend and sun revs only pls? Or is there a chance that normal shimmering rockfiends / stone beast can drop them too?

You can't confirm a negative. And really, whats the point? Sun Rev's by the lake drop them easily enough and they aren't hard to kill at all.

[EZ_Xelera Mistmoore]

just fyi... the sun revenants have tons of hp... so dont try to solo unless you know what youre doing. they arent worth doing for exp, and pretty heavily camped now that guilds are going or close to going to vex thal on various servers.

[EZ_MoonBear Briar]

Stone Beasts do dropthe shards, run around rocks near the Sun Revs. In about 6 hours got 3 shards, 1 from skele and 2 from Stone Beasts

[EZ_Kourin Nee lahn]

In Seru, got a shard off of a named Lego (not Lego of the Hand), in the hallways. It's possible, just much rarer.

[EZ_Jaryn VZ]

I have a couple corrections for this walk-through.

1. To obtain the scepter frame in Akheva, not need to kill any mobs whatsoever to get to the room with the sacrificed remains (placeholders for the Shimmering Presence). Simply invis up and be ready to run to zone if you trip the traps along the way. The traps reset approx every 6 minutes, other than that you can invis all the way to the room. Once in the room, the safe spot is right inside the "gate" to right right at the corner.
2. If you are a gate or fd class you can do this part solo if you are careful. Have a cleric standing by in case you get unlucky. Gate classes can simply nuke the placeholders which have less than 1khp, then egress or gate to the zoneline if you aggro anything. Rinse and repeat until the shimmering presence spawns. Same with FD classes. Have your wisp and Essence Emerald ready. The only placeholders that will aggro the mobs on the floor are the ones closest to the them.

3. The piece needed to combine in the unadorned scepter with the orb of luclinite is called a celestial rift, not a shaded sphere and are no longer summoned from a staff. They are dropped off mobs you kill after the Emperor is down.

Hope this helps.

[EZ_Kourin Nee lahn]

Got shards in Maiden's Eye off of a Seer. My fighting partner and I have a two for two record on the Seer. Just kill at scout camps and cross fingers for him to pop.

Got two within four hours of camping it, in two days.

"A Legionneer of the Hand at Marus Seru zone"

I didn't read through the 7 pages of info on this so maybe it's been stated before, but shard can drop off any legionaire, since I got mine from the ring on a named Legionaire. Please correct this so people don't sit at MS zone forever waiting for the hand guy to spawn.

[EZ_Baptismo Delacroix]

Feressa,

I am such an idiot. The Shik'nar are good xp for me. Then again, your challenge is set before the xp patch.

[Einyen]

Got it from Goranga Prophet.

[EZ_Samita]

Same thing - invis to the area with the remains...
put your back to the wall looking out at the room.

You can kill the back 3 remains spawns - the 4th will agro at least one mob in the room

--- spawn time is 5 mins..

just keep kiling those 3 with whatever range ability you have (arrows, spell...) they have under 150 HPs

When the presence spawns - do the turn ins - invis and leave.

Warning - if it spawns in the third spot out from the cubby - creeping up to do the turnin - will agro the 4 arms above.. you will have time to do the turnin -but you will likely die and need to invis in to pull your corpse out

BUT - at least you got the box without draggin 1 -2 groups into help

[EZ_GravewalkerShininglight]

I don't think you can run straight through to the Shimmering Presence since Rygan Anisher is in the way. He is right before IV prep room. He See's Invis. And, yes, must watch out for traps! "/shout Train to zone!!!"

If you hug the wall opposite of him you can time your jump right and land past his aggro radius.
