Divine Might Quest (Paladin) Troubles

[Sage Truthbearer]

Hey everyone, I have been trying to collect the bones for the Divine Might quest (http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Bones_of_Darak_Lightforge). However, I noticed that one of the more difficult ones is a ground spawn located inside Phinigel's room inside Kedge Keep.

Unfortunately, I have never been to Kedge Keep and the thought of venturing there and attempting to find my way to Phinigel's room alone as a 47 Paladin seems like a bad idea.

Would any of my fellow Pallies or other kind souls familiar with Kedge Keep can offer any tips for how best to proceed? Or, mayhaps anyone would want to team up to help each other out?

Grazies.

Phinny spawns deep in a cave that is guarded by very tough seahores. You have to swim deep into the hole in his lair where he spawns and the bones are on some rocks on the wall (the loc on the wiki is accurate) Phinny is down for 12 hours at a time, but he is still up quite often. Its best if hes not spawned.

You will need someone to agro the seahorses, pull them away, and you have to swim down and snag it. There's a number of ways to coordinate this but you will definitely need help. If you bring a crew you can kill the seahorses, but its easy if someone binds right inside zoneline of Kedge, tags the horses, gates, and waits at ZL till the horses come there (training the zone) then zone out. In the meantime you swim down and snag the bones then swim back out.

Its not "hard" as much as it is a PITA. You have to learn the way down to his lair and not have invis drop otherwise you're in trouble.

Thanks for the info, Tuljin. If anyone out there is reading this and also needs the bones, send me a PM or post here and we could help each other with pulling the seahorses away.

What I did: had a charged WC cap and EB ear, tagged along with some casters doing Phinny, swam down after seahorses were trained away grabbed groundspawn and capped out.

I'm going to attempt this some way or another and report back on my results. If you see a large number of corpses followed by a naked high elf kamikaze-ing phinny's room while dying repeatedly, it was me.

eb item , invis, Da idol, wc cap , then u set, but honestly the spell is just a dd proc wich doesnt worth ur time or money, it doesnt change or help you at all

Added damage is added damage. 65DD = 1dps

For a class that is low on the damage tables, anything extra is always good.

It's a junk buff you can recast in combat without retargetting, which is damned nice in laggy situations you get sometimes raiding. The only thing wrong with it is it needs a quicker cast time. If you gonna raid, you should have it.

What a bro. I'll be hitting you up sometime!

You could always check if anyone's guild is going after Phinigel Autropos in the near future and follow them down; I mean, if they need to clear the route anyway, it's going to make the whole thing easier for you.

Adventure Complete! Grats, Sage!

I got the bone on my pally in the mid 40s. it's a fun quest and the 65DD proc is fun but not exactly powerful.
You will need help. A shaman is probably the best class as they can cast invis, EB, and have a pet.

1) Invis down to Phinny's room (I did this when he wasn't up)
2) Swim over to the wall opposite of the entrance on your paladin
3) Shaman pet up and /guard it in the room and target a seahorse
4) Shaman swims out of the room as far as they can get before their pet will stop listening to it's commands
5) Sic pet on guard and spam the crap out of /pet back off
Once you see that the guards are far enough away and on the pet swim down to the very bottom and stay there.
6) Once pet dies, shaman gates.
Stay down at the bottom until they reset. Then once they're reset find the ground spawn and WC cap out.

I found that I was completely safe at the bottom of the pit even after the seahorses reset. It actually took me about 5 minutes of swimming around to find the ground spawn and pick it up. I was very careful and had my finger on the WC cap hotkey the whole time.

That's how I did it. Gating to the entrance is an even safer way to do it if you want.
If you still need the bone, find me on Torog, Erevan, or Haela. I'm on around 9am EST.

We followed a similar strat. I tagged the furthest horse with my skipping stone and immediately started casting gate. Unfortunately, the DDs they started casting hit me at the zone line, but it was plenty of time for Sage to get in there and look around for the bones. Phinny was not up, otherwise he would not have had such a leisurely opportunity to search.

One dead druid, but the bones were found!

"What's our battleplan, Grel?"

Plan A failed. But Grel died for my sins so that I could swim down.

Took me forever to find the damn things.
