5/14/2001 Safehouse write up of Epic
https://web.archive.org/web/20011222...icID=104.topic
Talks about General having Cazic Quill as a rare drop and to loot it from him IF it drops. Talks about possibly needing to quest for the Cazic Quill.
Says to just loot the Jagged Diamond Dagger from Renux. Does not talk at all about possibly having to quest for the JDD.

Thanks to Quarr Shadowsneaker for putting this together and to the countless rogues who have helped perfect the Rogue Epic Quest.
RAGEBRINGER QUEST WALKTHROUGH
(MUST be level 50 to talk to all major quest NPCs and have them respond with the quest info and to be able to be rewarded with turn-ins, even the side quests)
1) Find Malka Rale in the Qeynos Aqueducts at location +380, -210, +80. Say "I will help" to get "Stanos' Pouch."
- Malka's placeholder is "A courier."
– "A courier" will despawn at 8 p.m. game time, then Malka will spawn at 10 p.m. game time in the place of the courier.
– The courier does NOT need to be killed to get Malka to spawn, just wait till 10 p.m.
2a) Travel to North Kaladim and locate Founy Jestands at location +520, +307, -35. Pick pocket the "stained parchment top" from him. He is a rogue GM near the bank.
– He will despawn at 8 a.m. game time and respawn at 10 a.m.
– He will NOT always spawn with the parchment piece.
– If you get caught while PPing then zone ASAP - the zone is close.
2b) Travel to Neriak 3rd Gate and locate Tani N'Mar at location +650, -1300. Pick pocket the "stained parchment bottom" from him. He is a rogue GM in the rogue guild hall.
– He will NOT always spawn with the parchment piece.
3) Find Stanos Herkanor in Highpass Hold (in secret smugglers camp - must go through underwater tunnel) at location +10, +325, +45. Give him both the "stained parchment top" and the "stained parchment bottom" at the same time to receive the "Combined Parchment."
– If Stanos is not in the camp then give Anson McBale "Stanos' Pouch" you received from Malka Rale to spawn him. (Be sure to stand on the table behind Anson when giving him "Stanos' Pouch" or Stanos may not spawn - this happens because you may be standing on Stanos' spawn point)
– If Anson is not in the camp you will have to kill his smuggler placeholder.
- The smugglers are fairly high level and will require a full well rounded 50+ group to kill. (although they can be killed with less, it is unsafe to do so)
- (OPTIONAL) Stanos was found to have spawned after saying to Anson that "I need to see Stanos." He will say it better be important and Stanos will spawn if you are not standing on his spawn point. NOTE: you may have to do the pouch method first time though, because you may need high faction for this.
4) Travel to Lake Rathetear and locate Eldreth in the island tower at location +2600, -550. Hand Eldreth the "Combined Parchment," 100 platinum, and 2 bottles (unstacked) of milk all at once to receive the "Scribbled Parchment." If you don't have at least indifferent faction with him, SNEAK when turning in the items. Eldreth will then despawn.
- Eldreth is a totally rondom spawn spanning anywhere from many hours to a few days (Real Life Time).
5) Travel to the Plane of Hate to pick up the "Book of Souls." Located at location -60, +320, the spawn time is 10 hours. The book spawns on the bedside night stand in the bedroom located in the top floor of Maestro of Rancor's building.
6a) Travel to the Steamfont Mountains and locate Yendar Starpyre (a gnome in an SMR.)
– Yendar wanders the entire zone so have a tracker.
- Yendar is a totally rondom spawn spanning anywhere from many hours to a few days (Real Life Time).
After he has been located hail him to keep him from running (saying "book" also stops him) and give him the "Scribbled Parchment" you received from Eldreth. He in turn will give you another note called a "Tattered Parchment". NOTE: Yendar no longer despawns after giving him the scribbled parchment.
6b) After you locate him a second time give him the "Tattered Parchment" and the "Book of Souls" at the same time. He will then despawn and a level 50 female human rogue named Renux Herkanor will spawn nearby (she quads for 200+ and wields a weapon which procs clockwork poison - a spinning stun spell.)
Quickly engage combat or she will despawn in a short period of time. See below for strategy on defeating Renux.
After Renux has been killed, loot the "Jagged Diamond Dagger" and the "Translated Parchment" from her. She also drops an off-hand only 1HS sword called the Trochilc's Skean which procs clockwork poison and 2 new pieces of Ravenscale armor.
– The "Jagged Diamond Dagger" can also be obtained through a side-quest involving Vilinus the Small (See Side Quests below.)
– WARNING: It is said that after Renux is killed, Yender will respawn immediately after. THIS IS FALSE INFO - YENDAR IS RANDOM SPAWN
7) Return to Highpass Hold and re-locate Stanos (if he is not up see #3 above) in the smuggler's camp. Give him the "Translated Parchment" you looted from Renux and in turn you will receive "a sealed box."
8) Travel to Kithicor Forest and locate the Dark Elf House at location +800, +2400. Give the box to any one of the night spawns there to spawn General V'Ghera. Pull the General to a safe spot and kill him. Once he has fallen, loot the "General's Pouch" from him. Also, if he dropped the rare "Cazic Quill" loot this item as well. He drops many other things that are not needed for the quest and may be given to those that helped you though the quest.
– If he did not drop the "Cazic Quill" you must obtain it through a side quest involving Vilinus the Small (See Side Quests.)
9) After you have obtained the "Jagged Diamond Dagger," the "Cazic Quill," and the "General's Pouch," travel to Highpass Hold and give them all at once to Stanos to receive the Ragebringer. (If Stanos is not in the camp, see #3 above.)
SIDE QUESTS
-------------
These three side quests involve an NPC named Vilinus the Small. He can be located in Western Karanas in the bandit camp at location +340, -6700. Making him spawn will take some work. First, be sure all bandits are in the camp. You must kill and continue to kill the bandit which runs from the camp to the top of the hill until the "brigand" spawns. The "brigand" is an ultra-rare spawn. Leave the "brigand" alone, and at 11 p.m. game time Vilinus the Small will spawn in his place. From here, there are 3 sub-quests you are able to complete all of which earn you a different item.
– The first sub quest will result in the "Jagged Diamond Dagger." Return to Vilinus the Small all at once
a "Fleshripper" (from the "Kobold King" in Sol B),
a "Painbringer" (from the "Kobold Champion" in Sol B),
a "Mithril Two-Handed Sword" (from the "Froglok King" in Lower Guk - live side),
a "Gigantic Zwiehander" (from "Karg Icebear" in Everfrost Peaks.)
– The second quest results in a "Cazic Quill." Return to Vilinus the Small all at once:
a "Robe of the Kedge" (from "Phinigel Autropos" in Kedge Keep OR the "Coercer" in Kithicor Forest),
a "Robe of Ishva" (from the "Coercer" in Kithicor Forest),
a "Shiny Metallic Robes" (from the "Ghoul Arch Magi" in Lower Guk),
a "Robe of the Oracle" (from the Oracle in the Ocean of Tears.)
– The third quest results in "Stanos' Pouch." Yes, that is the same item Malka Rale simply gives you in Qeynos Aqueducts. Return to Vilinus the Small all at once: (Note: There is no real reason to do this particular side quest.)
a "Burning Rapier" (obtained from a quest),
a "Martune Rapier" (from "A Scorn Banshee" in the Plane of Hate),
an Eyerazzia (from "A Scareling" in the Plane of Fear),
a "Well Balanced Rapier" (from the "Shady Swashbuckler" in East Commons.)
NOTE: Although the "Side Quests" yield many of the same items as the quest needs, it soley cannot be done to complete the quest. Renux drops the "Jagged Diamond Dagger," Malka Rale gives you "Stanos' Pouch," and the General drops the "Cazic Quill," although the Quill is VERY rare and will most likely have to be obtained though the side quest with the midgit.

2002 newsgroups group discussing the disclaimer at the top of the Epic write up from Safehouse (quoted above)
Quote:

Sorry if you tried last night...my alt went LD in Kael's arena, and
then I couldn't log back in with either her OR the corpse mule there...
repatching the zone didn't work until today. I don't think Ryou would
come back complaining about me being bored, though...
So I'll try and shoot you a /tell when I log on tonight...once I can
figure out how to get out of the arena (put on the resist gear
and hope run III is enough...)
The disclaimer is the same one that's been up since about 6 months
after the rogue epic was added to the game. See, Renux always drops
the JDD, and the General always drops the pouch. The General ALSO
used to ALWAYS drop the Quill, too....which really shortened the rogue
epic a lot more than it used to be (my main got his epic during this time).
Now, your friend can expect to spend a lot of time in Kithicor trying to
round
up folks to single pull-and-kill Q'ioul when she spawns 90% of the time in
an Ishva robe, and having a heart attack the one time it's 3am CST and
she pops in a green robe...not to mention learning to speak japaneese
while going on every single Kedge raid out there...

Interesting 2002 news group thread regarding level limits on epic turn ins. Level 51+ people. "Ding 51, Congrats here is your epic!" Also discusses level requirement in relation to other MQs, such as Plane of Growth quests and other epics.

The quest giver will eat everything until it's done by
a 50+ rogue.
Which is not far off of many other epics, with some
pieces obtainable at much earlier levels than the level
to actually "do" the quests.
