Griffon Quest
«

March 08, 2008, 10:37:21 AM »
Everyone feel free to chip in, gonna start it now since i have a few days off.
Step 1) Griffons of a feather...Ch. 1 Initiation
Location: Southwatch
NPC: Scout Pellillo (14110,-56759, 80575) (near the hatchery on a hill)
Use the potion to turn into a bush, and harvest 5 griffon feathers. You cannot get within 15 m of a griffon matriarch, moving or not.
TIP: Get the quest, find a baby griffon (non targetable but changes colors when you mouse over) thats not near matriarchs (theres 2 to 3). Turn into the plant, harvest the griffon, then drop the quest. You keep the feather. Get the quest again and go harvest the same griffon. Takes 5 minutes to finish. If you dont do this, you cannot harvest the same baby griffon twice, and i found it to be a pain dealing with noobs agroing everything.
Reward: Nice pair of gloves (first of a 7 piece set) and a nice necklace
Step 2) Reporting for duty
Location: Starts in SW
NPC: Scout Pellillo
After completing the last quest, you are now tasked with reporting to NT to find Naziel Brockman. Naziel is in house Vermach at loc (-54382, 21674, 36501)
Step 3) Naziel's Request
Location:Starts in NT
NPC Naziel brockman
After a short dialog you get the next quest, kill 3 named npcs. Make sure to chat with him about the events so you know how to spawn everything
a)Rhaz Iknur : Kill torlaxis the flare hound... summoned by pouring effreti blood on the seal of rahz. Just like it sounds, go to the domo room, and pour powerful efreeti blood on the seal. You either get a raz hound or tolaxis. Average seems to be about 1/10 is named.
b)Nusible: Kill Pharo Harakhan... Seek out Ozymandius in NN.
You will need to collect the pieces of his body and put him together. lower upper torso --- Harakhty
lower torso --- Xefti
head ---- Kehepfa Asim
heart --- Pharaoh Shekhan Nkosa
50 Harakhan's Mummy Wraps (trash in nn).
Pharoh is a dps fight and you basically need to kill him in less then 2minutes. Hes got a buff that decreases casting range, and casts it every so often, each time forcing you to get closer. Hes also got a close range mana tap. Basically casters/healers will walk forward slowly staying at max range.
c) Grogalok swapm: Kill Fungal Abomination
Wind of the arch mage Travel to the swamp and kill the arch mage while holding the sphere of collection. This is the standard Hengerian encounter. If you want loot drop down to the quest giver and you can nowpick your loot since the encounter doesnt drop anything. 6 hour lock out. 30 min respawn.
For the stripe of the king: Kill the Prince. He is on a 1 hour timer now. Once dead, he spawns the Queen.
kill the Queen in order to get her blood which will active the King. Blood drops every time now, but she only drops one.
Clear to the king and have the holder of the blood stand back. Clear THE ENTIRE area as best you can. Then approach the king and he should be come active. If not king has a "call for help" and calls for adds. Could just bring an necro and ae fear if your brave.
Tip: Theres a big rock you can get on, and pull the king too and it puts him out of range of all but 3 mobs so its a lot less clearing. King hits for 2.2k on a monk, total joke of a mob and died in about 40 seconds.
Combine the 2 at the given location to trigger the Fungal Abomination.
The fungal abomination: this is a tough mofo. Hits for 7k and its a locked encounter with max 6 people.
TIP: EVERYONE needs the magic mushroom or you wont get the quest update. So everyone on this part NEEDS to do HEG (3 manable) and fungus king (take a group so people dont gank the queen).
Step 4) Memories of the old Blood
Location: New Targ, in the griffon watch house. After finishing the last quest (Naziels request) you are given a poem (key to entering the house). With the poem in inventory, hail Naziel, and completly the poem (something about "fear the power of the griffons flight") You will be teleported into the house where you get the next quest.
NPC: the 1st talon
Travel to old targ, and kill lots of trash to get the named to spawn:
1) Knight Raffen -- I am flawless you are not-- paths by gorzenag arch (spawns at tower in NE) ....Paladin mob, throws up a damage shield after ~2min Burn him down as far as possible first. If you whipe he keeps ds up for the entire next fight
2) Sage Shorul -- "Greed" -- paths by gorzenag arch (comes from west)... 2 inches tall and bullet proof. At 50% ae's greed of the we, an energy tap. Through out the whole fight will have a buff on "-80% dmg" , it will be on for 40s off for 20s. Burn in those 20 seconds, save endurance/big attacks till then.
3) Sage Tekar -- hope is a false promise-- paths by gorzenag arch (comes form east) ...Has 2 major aes. Range dps fight, you can joust for 10-15s. Use the debuff in the bard buff bar, melee from 1 min till 45s, then get out. Wash rinse repeat
4) Knight Akande --tempt my wrath -- paths by gorzenag arch (comes from east).... Hits for about 10-12k, spawns a pet wolf that hits for 7-8k and will force taunt you off of akande. strat is up to you
5) Knight Cennfar -- "Thirst for blood and flesh" --Spawns at NW dome.... Nothing special, has a stance at 50% you need to push.
6) Sage Naranda -- -- Spawns at central castle... Heals, not gonna post her strat
***You get the first upgrade for the necklace
Step 5
Visit 10 locations, 5 in thestra, 5 in qalia. each location you need to click on 2 griffons, and 1 dead scout body.
After 4-5 locations you will have automatically learned 5 elemental spells. Complete the locations and finish with a place like ToT harbor since its right next to the rift.
Fight the umbral agen!
Turn your particle effects on and stare at his hands. He will cast 1 of 5 spells at a time and you need to counter using one of the 5 spells you just learned. Pull all the spells onto a hotbar and go. May take a few tries and he tends to randomly heal so be careful it could be a long fight.
When its all done return to the third talon and hand in the quest.
***second upgrade to the necklace
Step 6
Buy a harness for 5p and papers for 3p from the 4th talon, then hand in the quest.
*****third necklace upgrade
Step 7
Day at the races.
Head west of new targ to the race location. Turn your particle effects up high and hail the npc. You will get a ground griffon and be told to run a race.
Mount up, rehail to start the race. Not sure how your supposed to do it, but i ran through the particle effects and every time a bandit spawned i dismounted and killed it then moved on. Finished with 2 minutes to spare.
Next you go straight into the flying race. Its timed again and you will fly through hoops of fire, they start red and turn blue after youve gone through them. After you go through them all you find yourself at a gnome. She will port you to sano the fixed.
Solo boss: Sano The Fixed
He gives you a flying griffon. You have to fly around and touch the orbs that are glowing to counter his spells. Again you need particles up pretty high to see which one of the 5 is sparkleing. Once hes dead loot the chest then go hand in the quest
***4th necklace upgrade
Step 8 Chathe
Step 9 Striffe McCloud ---regular griffin
Step 10 Raid encounter --- faster then wyvren griffin

Step 1) Griffons of a feather...Ch. 1 Initiation
Location: Southwatch
NPC: Scout Pellillo (14110,-56759, 80575) (near the hatchery on a hill) -
*edit* head up the long trail going NE out of the town, and you will eventually find him on a rock near the hatchery.
Use the potion to turn into a bush, and harvest 5 griffon feathers. You cannot get within 15 m of a griffon matriarch, moving or not.
Reward: Nice pair of gloves (first of a 7 piece set) and a nice necklace
Step 2) Reporting for duty
Location: Starts in SW
NPC: Scout Pellillo
After completing the last quest, you are now tasked with reporting to NT to find Naziel Brockman. Naziel is in house Vermach at loc (-54382, 21674, 36501)
Step 3) Naziel's Request
Location:Starts in NT
NPC Naziel brockman -
*edit* he is down in the main section of town, past the first 2 sections, when you get to the crafter area, turn right, then turning right again takes you back in the thieves alley place. turn left, and before you go through the next gate, theres a little alley on your left that leads behind a building, and he is there.
After a short dialog you get the next quest, kill 3 named npcs
a)Rhaz Iknur : Kill torlaxis the flare hound... summoned by pouring effreti blood on the seal of rahz.
b)Nusible: Kill Pharaoh Harakhan... Seek out Ozymandius in NN, in the room east of where you summon Pharaoh Harakhan.
*edit* Body parts are assembled from wraps (trash mobs at entrance) head (godking) heart (pharaoh in the gestalt room) lower torso (ambassador) and upper torso (?) You will need to collect the pieces of his body and put him together. Apparently it is a somewhat challenging fight, so be ready.
Combine the 2 at the given location to trigger the spawn.

The RI hound, Torlaxis can not be raided. We did him a full man raid, but got no guest update. A GM told us that it was cos of the raid. so don't spend your blood in a raid.
