Green Server: Summoning of* Quest Line

[nphixion]

Hey folks,

I confirmed yesterday that you can receive all components for the Dread Forged Shield and result in a successful turn-in. However, it seems other components for the Fright Forged Helm and Terror Forged Mask are not dropping (with the exception of the Basalt Drake Scale/Zombie Skin).

I'm curious if others have been able to get the following:
Eye of Urd
Lens of Lord Soptvyr
A lock of Widowmistress Hair
Embalming Dust
Charred Bone Chips
Vial of Tunare's Breath

Can others corroborate? OR could GMs confirm that the mobs are itemized with these items? (Also: sorry i posted in Velious beta bugs previously)

Sincerely,
a blind obretl camper

[FFA_Seller]

I can confirm that after around 14 Widowmistress kills, she has still not dropped the Widowmistress Hair.

[nphixion]

3 hours of obretl farming - nothing
about 100 mummies/zombies killed during that time. no embalming dust.

[abazaba]

Did the server restart for Paineel era or was it a live switch? I'm wondering if a restart would trigger the updated loot tables if thats the case.

[Leedom87]

Killed 2 Lord Soptvyr, no lens although I don' think that is a 100% drop. Also killed mummies/zombies and Obret with no embalming dust or charred bones as well.

[nphixion]

Clerics won't be able to loot the ishva mal brain since they can't /list for Ishva. Locks to #1.

Some of these items got ruled in with the Initiate Symbol quests that were deity-restricted and not implemented until April 2000 per patch http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20000410.html

However, I found several mentions of the Summoning quests and related items predating the April 2000 patch, so pending update these quests will be doable upon Paineel launch.

Everlore quests page for Paineel seems to have both of these quests (and others), capture is dated March 3rd 2000.

Unfortunately only like 2 of the links below this page were archived, but the quest title descriptions are clear enough that they must have been in:

Backing this up further, there is a newsgroup post about Lord Soptyvr and his lens being "for a Paineel quest" as of late Feb 2000 (Mask of Terror):

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.games.everquest/3Q-xCY9_wCg/E2z_uxcc-cMJ

By the way, I had bugged him to be era-ruled for Paineel a little while back, I believe he was spawning on Green before Paineel dropped:

In the other thread you mentioned these should be Fixed, Pending update.

When are we actually going to see them live?

[Aisar87]

Summoning of Terror and Fright quests still not in game yet. Just got done spending 7+ days farming heretics rep for these quests.

[Telin]

There hasn't been a patch since May, this was fixed in September.

[Aisar87]

Ok so the problem I am having is that the summoning of dread quest is available at dubious rep level and with a human rodcet nife cleric. You get the text, all seems fine. I am now amiable with heretics and the NPCs will not mention anything about the summoning of fright or terror quests. There's no diety requirement on either helms and no mention anywhere in my exhaustive search that says you need to be a cazic-thule cleric to do these quests.

So my question now is are the summoning of terror and summoning of fright quests locked behind the symbol of cazic-thule quests and therefore only ever obtainable by clerics that follow that diety? If so why is there no mention of that anywhere? That's a crazy huge detail to omit from every wiki and website describing all of this. Never once has this detail been mentioned and I've spent hours researching all this.

On this page for the quest https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=673 multiple people are claiming that the quests are not hard locked to cazic-thule clerics. Lots of people are claiming they can do these quests. It makes no sense that I can get the dread forged shield and complete the summoning of dread quest as a rodcet nife cleric just fine but not the other two. Something is broken.

[Videri]

My friend Aelu had a Brain of the Ishva Mal. I just logged onto Aelu and tried to multiquest the Brain to Aisar above me, but it failed. :( Just FYI, questers, this may not be MQable currently. The Wiki claims it is, but it just failed despite the NPC giving both of us the quest text.

[scala]

You actually need to be Cazic-Thule or Innoruuk for the quests.

[Aisar87]

You actually need to be Cazic-Thule or Innoruuk for the quests.

Can you please provide the link to a source or clear evidence supporting this or is this information from personal experience? Just claiming that the quests are deity locked puts a +1 for yes deity locked but we need a lot more than that to tip the scales towards that conclusion.

[Aisar87]

We can now say without doubt that one of these two results are correct:

There's a bug on P99 Green allowing non cazic-thule and innoruuk clerics to receive the introductory quest text for the summoning of dread quest leading the player to believe the quest can be undertaken and completed OR,

There is a bug on P99 Green that is not allowing clerics that are human or erudite with the required heretics faction to undertake and complete these quests. I say these because we still don't have solid evidence one way or the other as to which of the three quests, summoning of dread, summoning of terror, and summoning of fright can be done by a human or erudite cleric with appropriate heretics faction level.

One way or the other let's make sure players know for the future and don't get into this situation.

[scala]

The reasoning being is the actual quests aren't up to date.

if you look on http://wiki.project1999.com/Cleric

it says:
Innoruuk-worshipers can get the Regent Symbol of Innoruuk and other Innoruuk-only Cleric Gear. Also their faction lets them complete quests for Dread Forged Shield, Fright Forged Helm (an instant-clickie that gives See Invis and Infravision), and Terror Forged Mask, which are difficult for other religions.
Humans can also worship the following gods, but none of them have symbol quests, just different cultural items

Also this information here: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1125 Says other clerics cannot use it.

i cannot say for certain but i think these paineel quests are actually supposed to have a Diety text on the bottom like this item http://wiki.project1999.com/Regent_Symbol_of_Innoruuk

[Videri]

There are no quests in EverQuest that require certain religions. Quests never look directly at what deity your character follows. The only thing that matters is faction standing. You could follow any deity, and if you have sufficient faction standing, you can do the quest.

[nphixion]

I am Quellious and I have the Dread Forged Shield. -___- not true

[Aisar87]

I was pretty sure it didn't require a particular deity. If that was true you would see way more people claiming such when you do your research. It's not even a thing anyone talks about.

[nphixion]

Understood. Just commenting that the wiki isn't all-knowing

[Aisar87]

Understood. Just commenting that the wiki isn't all-knowing

I was agreeing with you but yeah I gave up on this quest lol. Can't know for sure.

[nphixion]

Will there be a patch before Kunark that includes this?

[nphixion]

sorry - anyone know if loot tales were updated with thislatest patch?

[nphixion]

Lens, Widowmistress hair, charred bones dropping. Unclear if Eye of Urd is dropping as of now. Post if anything else is dropping please.

[nphixion]

(Thank you GMs) :)

[nphixion]

everything confirmed to drop EXCEPT eye of urd

[Telin]

The quest reward is upgraded during kunark launch. That’s all I’ll say.

[nphixion]

i think the quest is currently undoable. eye of urd not in game Telin

[roboshaman]

probably about 75 urd wizards killed collectively between clerics trying to complete the quest today. noone can complete this quest. Please let us have our clicky experience... :)

[Telin]

this is fixed pending update, but it was already ruled for April2000 so it will fix itself even without a patch when kunark is released.

[roboshaman]

womp womp . aight -_- thanks for what yall do

[nphixion]

I would like a shoutout in the next patch update when the quest is functioning as normal. :)

[Telin]

Drop should’ve updated with kunark

[abazaba]

Eye of Urd dropping, thank you!

[Run8]

I have been camping Obretl for a couple hrs now and hasn't spawned once. He spawned much more often pre-kunark. Is he not in game? Did his spawn rate get reduced dramatically?

He spawns. He's rare. His spawn rate is now the way it was on Red99, so probably correct for this era. If anything, he shouldn't have spawned at all before the Paineel quests were added.

[MycahDavith]

Does anyone happen to know when during the current Green timeline does The Ishva Mal change to a 28 min spawn vs 36 hours?
