Ghoulbane Quest

[Celestian_]

<DIV>Dunno how many of you paladins remember Ghoulbane from EQ1 but I found how to get it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In Nettlevile there is a woman that wants a broom from Baubbleshire, get her the broom and she gives you a blue stone.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Examine it and follow the quest (the mineral/stone expert is the dorf in the mining area of Graystone). I won't detail the entire quest here because I don't have time but when you get to the point you have slain the undead in SH the priest in Temple of Life tells you it's for ghoulbane and how to re-make it. Since I was a cleric/templar it wasn't gonna be much use to me so I traded it for a nice hammer and 20% exp (im level 21).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One thing of note, you will need 91+ mining skill for part of the quest. You need to mine 40 items in the Steppes for the dorf.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The rest is pretty simple.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If I get time I'll come back and post details from my journal. If someone else already posted this I appologize, just wanted to let the Paladins know.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Ahh that's great! Thanks for the information!

[Khael-]

It's a simple quest up until then really. I haven't had a chance to get further myself, as Stormhold isn't someplace I regularly solo (although I did get the 25 'powerful undead' solo, after that it gets a bit more challenging).

[Falc410]

Thanks for the help.Getting up my mining skill now.Any hints where I can mine the stones in TS? I am not familiar with this zone yet.<p>Message Edited by Falc410 on <span class=date_text>11-21-2004</span> <span class=time_text>08:33 PM</span>

[Falc410]

ok I'm at the point where I have to retrieve the Ghoulbane from the Stormlord Crypt. I have no idea though where that might be. I have seen some Stormlords way down in the Armory, maybe it's past that. Or I am lucky and it is the glowing sword in on the stairway.

[Falc410]

well we have been in all Stormhold today, except the goblin caves. But I haven't found the Ghoulbane anywhere.Please help me. Where is the Crypt of Stormlords ?<p>Message Edited by Falc410 on <span class=date_text>11-22-2004</span> <span class=time_text>04:47 AM</span>

[Celestian_]

<DIV>I've had a few folks ask me where the sword you give to the priest is. That part I did not have to do. Since I wanted the hammer instead of sword he didn't ask me to get it. So, up to the point in the quest to get the sword I can detail if needed but I think it's pretty clear from the journal text once you get the blue stone.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As to mining, I just wandered around. There wasn't many folks out there mining. Unfortunately right now no one needs gold clusters or carbonite so I can't sell it =(</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Falc410]

There is another post going on about the Dusty Blue Stone Quest. Afaik nobody finished the ghoulbane quest yet. I have checked all of Stormhold. The only place it could be is in the tomb of valor. I am trying to get the access quest done by tonight and hopefully I get a group to go down there.

[legaeveth]

<DIV>I'll have the sword done tomorrow.  Valor isn't easy so if you go make sure your of descent level.</DIV>

[Falc410]

please post any info when you got the sword.I am not sure if the sword is really in the tomb.

[garda]

<DIV>For Tomb of Valor quest... I'm at the part where you are supposed to find the key on a ledge in antonica, just outside of SH.  I can't seem to find this dang key.  Anyone know where it is?  Or is it a mob it drops off?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thx</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Gardain</DIV>

[Perkler]

<DIV>Is it known that the sword is down in Tomb of Valor for sure? </DIV>

[Khael-]

So where does the access quest for Tomb of Valor start? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Falc410]

No it's known for sure. Nobody in the whole world has discovered it yet and nobody knows where it is. Since I have been looking for it for over 12 hours in Stormhold I can garantue you that it is not in Stormhold. The Tomb of Valor is the only place I haven't looked yet because I can't enter it.

[Kedl]

<DIV>Actually it has been discovered at least by 2 poeple so far.  Kaju of unrest was the first to discover the Weakened Ghoulbane which is what you get after joining the sword and the gem.  Once thats done you get the Restoring the Ghoulbane Heratige quest, which to my knowlege was never completed in beta, at least as far as I know it wasnt.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tomb of Valor is the grate in the ground between the battle priest spawn and the Archer spawn.  Finish the quest given by the librarian for access.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone know of a Vamprie in Nek Forest?</DIV>

[Perkler]

<DIV>Thanks for the update......Is the Weakened Ghoulbane equipable for use I wonder? If anyone has completed it up to this point please let us know for sure if it's down there.... 12 hr up top and not found by previous poster says to me it's prob down there :smileysurprised: but who knows. </DIV><p>Message Edited by Perkler on <span class=date_text>11-23-2004</span> <span class=time_text>11:03 AM</span>

[Falc410]

yeah I tried it, but it's for something else. At least I am still unworthy. And it's a claymore too

[Khael-]

The key is in the alcove to the right of Sir Valinayle, on the floor beneath the statue.Just pure luck I stumbled across it, was looking outside for a while as well.

[Zogl]

Ok, I just finished mining the stuff which was easier than I expected in TS. I have some advice for this section. I found great mining near tower where the undead are and also the centuars. Quite a few mining spots pop up this area. I got 20 real quick. However there is alot of aggro so be careful.OK I've been talking toe veryone one in the temple of life and none of them give me the option to talk about the stone.

[Khael-]

If you follow the quest log, it will tell you to find a magician first. He will then send you on an errand while he checks out your mysterious blue stone. When you return from your errand he will inform you that the stone was not enchanted, but blessed. This is of course when you seek out the priest of life.Cheers.<p>Message Edited by Khael- on <span class=date_text>11-24-2004</span> <span class=time_text>04:41 AM</span>

[Talvar]

<DIV>The broom quest was one of the first quests I did when I started EQ2.  I destroyed the blue stone before I realized you could examine items to get a quest.  Is there any way for me to get the ghoulbane quest now?</DIV>

[Theja]

<DIV>To answer the question if the Weakened Ghoulbane is equippable or not. It is. However I can't use it yet since I'm only level 27 and the sword skill requirement means I'll need to be 30 before I can. The stats are decent but I'm afraid I might get something better by the time I reach 30...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hoping the non-weakened version is worth it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And now, if anyone is at the next part to kill the 3 named mobs. I have 1 down and 2 to go and would like to share information on their exact locations, the one in Varsoon in particular.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jokalaylau</DIV> <DIV>Paladin 27</DIV> <DIV>Oasis</DIV>

[Rowdi]

<DIV>Now the question is, if I have done the Sweeps quest and gotten the stone, then inadvertently lost the stone, is there anyway to reaquire it or start the quest?</DIV>

Just create a new character (human or kerran), run him through IoR real quickly and get to Nettleville. Grab the quest, bell to Bauble, deliver broom back to Nettleville and put the blue stone in your shared inventory spot.Pretty sure that still works, as I don't think the stone is marked as Lore. If it is, you will have to trade the stone to trusted friend while you log back on to your main.

[Caledo]

<DIV>If I may ask, how do you get the rock samples in T.S.? I raised my skill to 90, was able to mine the stones there, and got several carbonite clusters but my journal never updated. Is their a certain type of rock I need to mine from, or a certain type of cluster/stone I need to get from mining the rocks there? Or should I /appeal it?</DIV>

[Dakbu]

<DIV>I noticed you have to mine the windswept stones to get quest credit.  Look around, they are pretty easy to find if you are in a good spot.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Zogl]

ah, good thing I cant use it til lvl 30 or more. I am one of those peopel who like to get eveyrthing at my lvl that I can and Ghoulbane quest remaining was looking to be quite tough Good to hear Ican do it later on with no rush. Anyone know of any good 1 handed weapons in the meantime for lvl 20 paladin. I just bought a carbonite scimitar to hold off the time

[Derg]

<DIV>I went up to the npc and it let me redo the quest to get the stone again.</DIV>

<blockquote><hr>Shaluk wrote:<DIV>hello anyone know where the diary is for the access quest to the crypt of valor? i cant find it</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>thx</DIV><hr></blockquote>You have to kill handmaidens to get the ladies diary.

<DIV>I'm at the part to kill the 3 named undeads and I have no idea what to look for in Nek forest. The quest says to kill "a vampire descendant of the Torig".

There are many of us working on it... I have heard one person "claim" to get his journal updated in varsoon but no reply so far as to what and where, rumor is these mobs may not be named like they are in cob... which makes little sense to me.  I dont believe anyone in beta found the vampire and thus the sword was never completed.... If sonys intention was for this sword to to show up for a while into release i think they may achieve their result but i dont see the sense in making such a long drawn out quest with access needed for certain steps among other things just to bottleneck it at the end..   I agree with this poster... as much as they claim it to be working it is either bugged or something in their quest mechanics is not well thought through for ppl to have spent well over a week searching all day checking every room and named spawn for no result.... I am currently using my weakened ghoulbane, its a fine weapon, but honestly weapons arent that big of a deal for tanks so this is no large loss, but after working so hard on a quest it would be nice to be able to complete it... not like any scout or mage isnt still going to kick our arses in dps even with this sword... more for looks then anything once your level 32+</FONT></DIV>

[legaeveth]

<DIV>I'm pretty frustrated at this point with the quest.  I know a dev said its working but they also said a lot of things are working whihc there not.  There isn't a undead in varsoons that i haven't killed 10x.  There isn't any golems in varsoons which i haven't killed 10x.  For some reason I don't think they want us to finish this.  1 of 3 parts says to kill a spectre in CoB guess what there is a spectre in cob that i killed and got an update.  Now from what the dev said there is a mob in varsoons that doesn't have lich in its name but is supposed to update the quest?  I personally find this hard to believe.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[BiggerSmal]

<DIV>ok so I'm a complete idiot. I did all the steps up to "retrieve the ghoulbane from the tomb". So I get a full group, go into Tomb of Valor and win. Then we zone out. I didn't notice the sword at all on the wall. Someone brought it up after we zoned out....   Now when I go to the sewer it says I can't get back in for 6 days.  ARGH!!!!!!!!!!    please tell me there is some way around this...   I'm still kicking myself.  I just always assumed the ghoulbane would be a quest drop from the Instance Boss.  </DIV>

[Falc410]

6 days? Ouch, for it was only 8 hours <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[BiggerSmal]

<DIV>it's 8 hours if you fail and want to try again...  6 days if you complete. I guess to prevent farming. </DIV>

[Virtuo]

<DIV>Aww man that suxxxxxx!!!   :smileymad:</DIV>

[za]

<DIV>Hello, Im a shadowknight and was able to have my brother hand me the blue stone once he finished the quest and it allowed me to recieve the "Dusty Blue Stone" quest... but now when i try to get to the dwarf in greystone yard to advance the quest aguard see's me and kicks me out, anyone know if i can get someone to sneak me past the guard if he would even talk to me?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thanks</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lurin</DIV>

[Asteroi]

<DIV>I was wondering if this quest was worth pursuing for a non-paladin, since I started this quest before I knew what it was for.  I realise no one has the sword just yet, but what I'm wondering is whether it will be no-trade.  If not then I would probably try complete and pass the sword onto an alt or friend.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>To those who have the weakened version can you confirm whether it is no-trade?</DIV>

[Khael-]

He would talk to you if you were able to get past the guard. I believe it'll only get harder and harder to sneak through this quest though, you're looking at getting into the Mage Tower next, and then the Temple of Life. Good luck.I can confirm that the Weakened Ghoulbane is no-trade. http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=10200 if you are interested in seeing stats etc for yourself.

[Votan01]

<DIV>Weakened Ghoulbane can not be used until lvl 32.  I have it in the bank and in its current form it is worse than Bariks Sword.  I am only 31 so I have yet to equip and test it out however not sure I would use it until I complete the next quest to make it better.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

oh well im only 29 and only could manage to kill the cob mob to enhance the weaken gb.... the varsoon mob and the nek forest mob i cant seem to find as i recently go mad in varsoon killing it all over agn with a high lvl group ^^well should check the hole area but i would be pleased to get any hint...which means no spoiler but a small word in which area i had to crowl through ^^i gues it might have something good against all undead mobs... or better said i hope it has <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Im getting there on the Weakened GB quest but still a long way to go.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What i'd really like to see is a screenshot of what it looks like equipped...anyone???</DIV>

[RAYVEN2]

<DIV>I recovered the weakened Ghoulbane but It looks like I can't use it till level 32 and I'm still only level 24 :smileysad: .  The weapon does not look like it will be very impressive when I get to that level either.  Seems like I may find something better by then unless I can figure out how to restore the GB.  I'm not even going to try to restore the blade until level 27 or so since I hear the guys I gotta take down are out of a group my levels league for now.  I want to find some other heritage quests like the one for the Soulfire since I'm sure that one is also in the game and rubicite armor.  Wish books bought from the sage in SQ would tell you what the quest was for before you started it.   I bought a book called the    Martyr's tale or something like that.  Anyone know what this quest is for?</DIV>

<DIV>Yea I'm Lvl 30 and have a 1 hander thats pretty much as good if not better then the weakened ghoulbane, as for not being able to kill the mobs, the only mob i know about was pretty easy at 26 (the one in CoB).

<DIV>The Ghoulbane is supposed to be usable by good classes only so if your a SK and you get the sword expect a incoming nerf :smileyhappy: .  To explain my statement : The quest starts in Qeynos by design to keep evil races from getting their grubby hands on the sword.  An SK getting the sword is an EXPLOIT/BUG since your not allowed in Qeynos....  Besides, how would you do the mining part of the quest or speak with the healer.  Its just not possible to proceed with the quest without a bug in the quest that you can exploit. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>To answer the quest from the person above you : Yes, all of the people entering ToV must have completed the ToV access quest.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone have any info on the locations of the mobs needed for restoring the GB? </DIV><p>Message Edited by RAYVEN2 on <span class=date_text>12-13-2004</span> <span class=time_text>10:27 PM</span>

[luwkw]

I don't know if anyone posted a great mining location already, but I'm not reading through the 4 pages.THE best spot I have found in TS (trust me I have tons of xp debt racked up from exploring) is by the Southern Bandit Camp. All around the shrine of decay over into the bandit camp, there is Windswept Stones (needed for Ghoulbane quest) and Stonecrest Ore. Obviously you have to be dodgy, especially if you're kos to the centaurs like I am. But, if you're on your horse you can outrun those mobs and loh yourself if needed. This is the best spot I have found. It took me about 2 hours total to get all 40 collected.Servers are down now, so getting my Ghoulbane after they go back up heh.

[gachamann]

RobleeS, do you have to quest for that Claymore, or can you just grab it at 40? Seems kinda anti-climatic if you can just grab it, because then every fighter and his brother will have one :/As fas as collecting the minerals in TS, the best place I found was the southern craters with massive amounts of skellies and spirited orbs at the bottom. The craters with spirited orbs popped them sometimes, but on the other side with all the skellies the windswept rocks spawn constantly. I would sometimes see 3 of them grouped together, near several mobs that were red^ to me at lvl 21, of course. Just be patient and get around them and you'll have the 40 components in no time.There was a red named Orb that was ^^^ that I saw. He was aggro while the other orbs weren't. I wonder what he drops <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>You just grab it, however you can not use it until 45.  It also starts a quest to empower the sword....since it is Inert when you get it.</DIV>

Not sure what Hohlkessel is. I've read that he's in Cauldron's Hollow zone from Nek, which you need to finish access quest for.I'mm on the restore GB as well. Does anyone know what you have to kill in the Creator's room in Varsoons to make him spawn? I saw Incomplete Guardians, Enchanted Clays, and Skellie workers. Just wondering since there's so many if a certain group is PH, or just slaughter everything?

<DIV> <DIV>Ok, Im killing the 3 named now, got the specter, and I have successfully killed the Creator 3 times now without getting credit.  Believe me when i say it is definitely still bugged as #$@#.    I will accept any and all advice on how to get credit from this encounter from people who have succeeded.   I play Kelvin on Toxxulia server and this is highly frustrating.. one of those things that makes you want to quit playing the game.  I have fought creator both in and out of room.  I have killed adds both before and after killing him.  I have finished killing Creator and his adds without a broken symbol ever appearing, getting a message that I would receive quest credit when encounter was over, and I STILL did not receive credit.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sony, are you listening/reading this?!!?!?!   This is the biggest most well known quest in the game, and its bugged to Heck and everybody knows it.  Geez.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV>

I will just repear what other Pallies in game have told me to do to get credit. Apparently taking out his henchmen without hitting him will still break him.

Awesome, heard this from someone in game as well.Now about that Specter lol. I've spent probably 3 hours killing all the warlocks and the minions they're with in those alcoves.

<DIV>Spectre Of Ire soloable at 30???</DIV>

[gachamann]

I have to give a resounding NO to that qstn. I was able to solo him, barely, at level 32 (he was green^^ to me). And I had luck on my side, too. I didn't even get to beat him because he despawned on me, but I was winning and we were both in pretty bad shape. I have 3 Adept IIIs and maxed on armor/wpns, btw. I know it's tough getting a group, but that's all you can do until you ding a few more times.What's funny is how long our battles can last going solo. I had also fought the named Minotaur (also green^^), and I was bored so I buffed up and attacked. I swear that battle last 7-8 minutes. Orange health, Penitent Heal..Faithful Zeal..Orange health, Blessed Aid..FZ..Orange Health, low on power, LOH..gives me time to get some power back..repeat LOL.

Well I finally got the Restored Ghoulbane.I actually quit the game out of disgust of the difficulty of the CH mob and frustration for the Creator. I was lucky and met a guild that hosted a CH event on Najena, and invited me in. I got the update and next thing I know they're taking me down to ROV to get the Creator. 2 days later they take me to Nak Castle to kill Everling and finish it. Needless to say, I'm a member of their guild now LOL. Never met such great and selfless people (Shadowhaven on Najena, btw).All I can say is it rocks. I will say I got kind of irritated when a group member in Nek Castle got a weapon from a chest drop that's arguably as good or better than the restored ghoulbane...off a CHEST DROP! It doesn't have the proc, of course, but it's delay is the same and does even more damage. It's called Concillium Sceptre. Look it up on EQ2Players.

<DIV>You retrieve ghoulbane in the Tomb of Valor inside Stormhold. You need to talk to the librarian in Stormholds library and complete the quest he gives to gain access.

<DIV>I HAVE FINALLY COMPLETED THE GHOULBANE QUEST ON FEBURARY 5 MIDNIGHT.  I would like to say the vampire in Cauldron Hallow is not the last mob you need to kill.  You need to kill Lord Everling in Nektropos castle, ocne you have killed the vampire.  The full version of Ghoulbane is of course better stat-wise and also comes with a (will always proc if you hit the undead) proc called Power of Ghoulbane for me at lv. 32 paladin for +14 extra damage.</DIV>

<DIV>Quick note: Power of Ghoulbane is not a proc per sa. It is bane damage on undead which is why it fires everytime on them. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As a comparison the effect on Berik, Sword of Thunder IS a proc and fires randomly on any kind of monster.</DIV>

What level is this spectre in CoB?Is he soloable at 32? If not how hard is he around this level,. Duo? full group? raid?

[Darki]

The Spector is level 27 if I remember correctly, he has a few buddies. You should be able to duo him easily at level 32.

I can't believe there's such a huge gap in this quest.It starts with some talking and collecting stones and while you are doing other quests as well you can gradually work on that Ghoulbane quest. Anybody, any class, any level can do that. Then, all of the sudden, they present you a red quest which you can't do at all <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> and it's stored in your journal for several levels as well.I'm Lvl24 and need to level at least 3-4 times before I can continue the quest properly, bit of a downside to me :/
