Beware you have to give him the harvested items <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Your next step is to get 3 items for him1)The first is from the <i><b>miners and excavators in Blackburrow</b></i> an easy solo step2)The next is harder!! and takes you to place where u will level up! <i><b>Stormhold(u need a group, at least a tank and healer) </b></i>--->You are looking for the <i><b>Caveroot horror</b></i> near the library entrance - its a relatively rare spawn. Clear the fungus and mist to spawn him.<u><b><font color="#ff0000">Now you are ready for Thundering Steppes - this is where you will  level up further and harvest!</font></b></u>The 1st thing to do is get <b><font color="#ffff00">bridge access</font></b> - it makes life easierFirst make sure you can <i><b>speak halasian</b></i> - you can buy this language in <i><b>Graystone</b></i> in qeynos in the scroll shopNext complete a few tasks for Turgen Bremhurst at the bridge keep (+194,+2,-202), he will grant u night and day access to the bridge keep after a few quests!The next step is to get <b><font color="#ffff00">Griffon tower access</font></b>Hail a griffon tower tamer when u come across one - they want u to find a clutch of eggs e.g. loads around the griffon fields, watch for agro.....run back to tamer with the eggs for access to the griffon towers (its on a timer!)<b><i>For harvesting i suggest the area south of the bridge keep i mentioned above</i></b>Explore TS - get griffon tower access, get bridge access, hunt giants and gnolls, venture into the ruins of varsoon when you are better equipped and slightly higher lvl - enjoy Thundering steppesP.S. the next step to the heritage quest we started in antonica is also in TS.....a certain <b><font color="#ffff00">Bloodtalon </font></b>a mighty named griffon that roams the griffon fields, his place holders are called "majestic griffons" (YOU WILL NEED HELP for him - he's a group kill)<div></div><p>Message Edited by Wildfury77 on <span class="date_text">03-26-2006</span><span class="time_text">05:45 PM</span></p><p>Message Edited by Wildfury77 on <span class="date_text">03-26-2006</span><span class="time_text">05:48 PM</span></p>

<div></div>The beauty of this path is1)<b><font color="#ff0000">Hopefully you will explore blackburrow and stormhold if not done already</font></b>2)I<font color="#ff0000"><b>f you are a member of a guild - the way your guild levels up is through 3 main roots</b></font><b><font color="#ffff00">a)heritage quests</font></b> - long complex quests with good loot at the end that you can either use, put on the wall in your house or sell for gold!<b><font color="#ffff00">b)City writs</font></b> - You can get writs from the eldar grove - near the big tree. North Qeynos - the warriors at the castle and the priests further north in the zone and in south Qeynos from the mage tower. @lvl 20 these writs are likely to be in Thundering Steppes - you can xp and get guild status (not much) at the same time!<b><font color="#ffff00">c)Artifacts</font></b> - u will loot strange objects from the gnolls and others - idols,scrying stones,etc - when u examine --> they say a powerfuil guild of mages/knights etc may want this. THE SAME place u get the writs - you sell these items for guild status - 4 types of object - 1 for each faction. In the sell window (from the guys u get the writs from) Light blue status points come up if its the right faction! -------->sell to the right faction only for the points i.e.if u see blue status points on the sell window <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><b>Level your guild, explore instances, level yourself and become an expert at getting around Thundering Steppes <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></b><div></div><p>Message Edited by Wildfury77 on <span class="date_text">03-26-2006</span><span class="time_text">06:05 PM</span></p>

<div>Ok, I'm guessing this is the pair of Swashbuckler boots?</div><div> </div><div>I'll be looking into it tonight, Thanks!</div>

<div></div>The reward for boots can be selected as any of the armor types, so is a good quest for all players.

No more time to write - Licit or one of the others: do u mind mentioning about the AQs....if they still exist <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> and the easy armor quests from the watcher of the fields too <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> thx<div></div>

<div></div>THe Armor Quests are given by one of the guys near the clock in QH, these are for level 20 onwards and are a good way to progress levels, the armor is also better quality compared to common crafted, these are done AQ1 -> 6 and span to level 26 to wear the armor, also another nice quest is Spindlecogs (from Baubleshire) which gives a nice helm as reward, doing the AQ's and Spindlecogs will give you a nice set of armor covering ever slot and can last you into the 30's (depending on how cashed up or twinked your toon is going to be)
