Before going through any quest dialogue, there are a few items to pre-farm. You can right click any map to enlarge it.

Pre-Farmable Items:

Stained Parchment Top
Stained Parchment Bottom

Book of Souls
2x Bottle of Milk
100pp
Step 6 (4 Robes
)
Step 8 (
4 weapons)

 

Stained Parchment Top

You will need some pick pocketing skill. I was able to Pickpocket him at skill level 25.

Head to North Kaladim and pickpocket the dwarf (Rogue Guildmaster) Founy Jestands until you receive
 Stained Parchment Top.
May not always have it on him so your strategy here is going to be to pickpocket him until you get roughly 20 fails in a row (assuming your skill is high). Usually you’ll get platinum/gold and some other miscellaneous items. Once you think he has no more items on him, come back an hour or two later and repeat the process until you get Stained Parchment Top. Since the 2/17/21 patch this seems to be easier to obtain than it used to be, but I may have been lucky.

If he aggros on you, just zone over into South Kaladim. He supposedly re-spawns once a day (in game time), but I have not verified the exact time at which this happens.  Also, if you are an evil race, it’s helpful to have an illusion mask for a good race so you aren’t KoS. Uncommon Drop.

**As of 2/17/21 Patch Notes:
Founy Jestands and Tani N`Mar will no longer have any parchment on their corpses if killed. They will, however, always have them in their pockets if someone happens to be clever enough to take them.


 

 

 

 

 

 

Stained Parchment Bottom

You will need some pick pocketing skill. I had 190+.

The same strategy applies here. Pickpocket Tani N`Mar in Neriak Third Gate until you feel he has nothing left, then come back an hour or two later and repeat the process until you get Stained Parchment Bottom. I personally saw him re-spawn at 7pm gametime, so that would be a good time to come back. If he aggros be ready for a long run back to the zone in. I recommend standing on the steps behind him while pick pocketing. Having a Dark Elf illusion mask is benefical here as well if you are KoS to Dark Elves. Uncommon Drop.

**As of 2/17/21 Patch Notes:
Founy Jesthands and Tani N`Mar will no longer have any parchment on their corpses if killed. They will, however, always have them in their pockets if someone happens to be clever enough to take them.

Book of Souls
This can be found in Plane of Hate. It is a ground spawn at +171, -326 on top of a dresser. Roughly 10 hour re-spawn. You can sneak/hide to it. SoS is not required. The building it’s in is directly across from the Maestro Castle front entrance.

2x Bottle of Milk

Buy 2x Bottle of Milk from a Baking Vendor – (Klen Ironstove, Eastern Trade Building, PoK | Loc: -84, +239). Don’t drink them!

The Quest

Step 1

Now we can begin the quest. Head to Highpass Hold and speak to Anson McBale. He is in a hidden area of the zone that is only accessible by an underwater tunnel (See Map). He is also not always up and may need to be spawned. His PH is a specific a smuggler located at +34, +327. Anson McBale spawns approx 13.5 min after the PH is killed. It may take a few PH’s to spawn him.

Say “I need to see Stanos” to  Anson McBale to spawn Stanos Herkanor. Give Stanos Herkanor Stained Parchment Top and Stained Parchment Bottom to receive   Combined Parchment.

 

Step 2

Head to Lake Rathetear and find Eldreth (+2621, -556). Give him Combined Parchment, 2x Bottle of Milk, and 100pp to receive Scribbled Parchment.

*As of Patch Notes for 2/17/21 patch he has a respawn timer of 1 hour and can no longer be killed*


 

 

Step 3

1) Head to Steamfont Mountains and find Yendar Starpyre, who roams all over the zone the zone. A tracker would help. Reported respawn is between 4.5-5 hours and he may spawn in the top middle of the zone (not confirmed by me personally).

2) Give Yendar Starpyre Scribbled Parchment to receive Tattered Parchment.

3) Next give Yendar Starpyre the  Book of Souls along with the Tattered Parchment you just got. This depawns Yendar Starpyre and spawns Renux Herkanor (level 50). Kill her. Loot Translated Parchment. I soloed her as a 65 warrior without an issue.

**As of 2/17/21 Patch Renux Heranor no longer drops Jagged Diamond Dagger. You will have to do a sub-quest to obtain it (see Step 8).

 

 

Step 4

Head back to Highpass Hold and give  Translated Parchment to Stanos Herkanor to receive Sealed Box

Say “I need to see Stanos” to  Anson McBale if Stanos Herkanor is not already up.



 

Step 5

Go to Kithicor Forest. Give the Sealed Box to any of the Dark Elves at the Cabin Ruins to spawn General V`ghera. These mobs only spawn at night. He hits fairly fast and everything in the cabin will assist when he’s pulled. It’s best to have a geared team and/or a puller to split the General (at level 65), or you can pre-clear majority of the mobs (keep at least 1 up to do the turnin).  I was able to duo him and his adds with a level 65 Time Geared Cleric/Warrior Combo, but if you want to play it safe bring more. 2-4 groups might be better pre-65 depending on how geared everyone is.

– Hits 500+
– Estimated 32K HP
– High Magic Resist

Once he’s dead, loot General’s Pouch.

**As of 2/17/21 Patch Notes:
— General V’ghera will no longer carry a Cazic Quill.

 Step 6

Gather the 4 robes below:

Robe of the Kedge – Drops from:
A. Phinigel Autropos in Kedge Keep 12 hour respawn. Can spawn via DZ also. Uncommon Drop

B. Advisor C`zatl in Kithicor Forest (Dark Elf Ruins where General V`ghera is spawned) – Rare Drop

C. Coercer Q`ioul in Kithicor Forest (Dark Elf Ruins where General V`ghera is spawned) – Rare Drop

Robe of the Ishva – Drops from:

A. Jinalis Andir in Dagnor’s Cauldron – She spawns on the east side along the lake shore. This is technically a Magician epic turn-in NPC, but I did confirm she drops the robe. 33K HP. She also respawns quickly (under 15 minutes). Seems to be common drop or always drops.

B. The Ishva Mal – Has 2 spawn locations based on which expansions are released on your server:
– Before LDoN release: Splitpaw. Far east side of zone in a cubby. MAP
– LDoN+: South Karana
– Roams. PH is a Ishva Lteth gnoll.
Tracker Recommended. Common Drop.

C
. Coercer Q`ioul   in Kithicor Forest (Dark Elf Ruins where General V`ghera is spawned)


Shining Metallic Robe (Tradable, check the Bazaar) Drops from:
A. the ghoul arch magus in Lower Guk (undead side) – PH is a kor ghoul wizard. Uncommon Drop.

B. Yendar Starpyre in Steamfont Mountains – Common Drop. Requires strong group or small raid force. Resistant to spells, bring melee. Reported respawn is between 4.5-5 hours and he may spawn in the top middle of the zone (not confirmed by me personally).

Robe of the Oracle (Tradable, check the Bazaar) Drops from:
A. Oracle of K`Arnon in Ocean of Tears. Always Drops. Easy solo kill, level 40.
*As of 2/17/21 Patch Notes he has a respawn timer of 2 hours*

 



Step 7

Head to West Karana and find Vilnius the Small. He is a Barbarian on a small hill that spawns at night. a brigand takes his place during the day. You do not need to kill the brigand. It will despawn at night and Vilnius the Small will take his place a few (in game) hours later.

Give Vilnius the Small  Robe of the Kedge Robe of the Ishva Shining Metallic Robe Robe of the Oracle to receive Cazic Quill.

 

Step 8

**As of 2/17/21 Patch you must now do this sub-quest to obtain Jagged Diamond Dagger

You’ll want to collect 4 items. They drop from named/rare mobs in various zones.

Fleshripper – Drops from a kobold king (MAP) in SolB (no trade)

Painbringer – Drops from a kobold champion (MAP) in SolB (no trade)

Gigantic Zweihander – Drops from Karg IceBear (MAP) in Everfrost (tradable)
–Karg IceBear
is a roaming rare spawn in the East side of the zone. Kill trash until he spawns (spiders/leopards/orcs/bears/goblins/mammoths/etc). A tracker is recommended. He will spawn more often and drop the sword more often starting 2/17/21 patch.

Mithril Two-Handed Sword – Drops from the froglok king (MAP) in Lower Guk (tradable)

 

 

Give all 4 items to Vilnius the Small in West Karana to receive Jagged Diamond Dagger. See Step 7 for how to spawn him.


Step 9

Go back to Highpass Hold and spawn Stanos Herkanor for a final time. **Say “I need to see Stanos” to  Anson McBale if Stanos Herkanor is not already up.**

Give him:
Cazic Quill
General’s Pouch

Jagged Diamond Dagger

to receive your 1.0 Epic: Ragebringer!
