Klunkk

Hey guys and ladies,

I just wanted to know if anyone can answer a few questions about the cis quest line.
1) Is the reward at the end worth it? I ask this only because the reward at the end of the TK line sucked if you werent a tank class.
2) What is the end reward I've heard many rumors that is was a set of orange armor all the way to It's a red weapon and many things in between.
3) Is there a good walk through in case I get stuck while doing the quest? I like to try and figure things out on my own but after I try I like to be able to go and find out what I was doing wrong or what I could have done to make it easier.
Thanks in advance to all those who help.

Vaeldar

The reward is a Legendary weapon - it is excellent for each class. The caster staff is very nice, as are all of the weapons. (Mace, Longsword, Greataxe, Bladestaff, Staff)

The quest will also reward you with an Orange armor piece - you have the option of a really nice belt, a cloak, a bracer, or a helmet with See Invis as a worn effect (godly for a PvP server). Two of these are useable by casters...the helmet for sure, and the cloak I think.

I have not found a walkthrough, but if you do happen to get stuck you're welcome to PM me on this board with your question. I have recently completed the quest chain, and my memory for MMO quests is like a bear trap.

Good luck!

Klunkk

Thanks for the offer ill probably take you up on it I recently completed the TK quest line for the cloak and I'm lvl 30dk will the quest get much harder Ihave done my quest for the yellow weapon and I had the cloak till the TK line was done Ive done the ring and the necklace i think it was then they sent me up to the place where you make the Infineum weapon from the black smith and his assisstant Im on the learning to use the weapons so Ill give it a try tonight and see if I can figure it out.

thanks again

Acarie

I have a few questions about CiS quest, hopefully they are still in your mind
I am a Armorsmith with L29 crafting, Several friends of mine who are grouping with me everyday. I wish to make them armors.

1)As my best knowledge, Upgrade path as:
Scavenge -> Rewrought ->Forged...
How about Imbued, Blessed? They are same series of Forged or a upgrade version of Forged?
Or the Prefix already determine which gem was applied?

2)I know at the step to upgrade, I need corresponding Gems to assemble. They said i can assemble my own as a smith. Is it true?

3)After the assemble of the armor by gem, are they tradable?

4)If a non-smith have gem and armor, he ask NPC to assemble for him, is there any cost? Since i heard the npc charge an ale (62s) for assemble.

Thank you so much!!

I am currently on the learning to use infineum weapons quest the one where you have to go to the shrine thing (cnat remember exactly) and convince the guy to teach you how to use the weapons I was just wondering how many quests and what if any drops or things i have to buy in order to get the legendary weapon.

Lilianna

Does anyone know what level blacksmith you need to be in order to have a realistic shot at smithing the armor pieces? As a level 14 armorsmith I was able to scribe the recipe book, but my attempt at creation went badly. The recipes don't tell you what level they are,

Urssulla

We did the stopping of the ceremony last night, and boy was I glad we had someone with us who had done it before. You go to the area with the necro, and the construct, and just wait. Stand there and do nothing. The big golem kills everything there, then spawns as a ghost. You hail the ghost, and it attacks you. Once you kill him, you are done.

It was actually very easy, our normal group is all 26 (DK, sorc, and cleric) and we added a 27 bard.

Nimilith


First of all i wanna thx the guy in another forum that wrote all the main part of this guide i just added link for quest and rewards, ignore the italian part on the guide couse i originally wrote for my guild mates and i'm lazy and i don't want to translate again in english some parts :P:



Infineum Quest Line:

STEP 1:

"Strange things are Afoot" ( http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...ngs-are-afoot/ )

Obtained from Donovan (a gnome NPC at Donovan's Roost; west of Aghram as you take the road) - available at level 19. He'll ask you to talk to someone who knows about Infineum.

You have to talk to the Warder, who patrols around the entrance area to the infineum mines. Go south from Donovan's Roost and you'll come to the mines; either have someone invis and scout him out or clear for exp until you find him. While you're there, farm yourself an Infineum Pickaxe (you'll need it later) from Infineum Thrall mobs; 4 dots that are level 18-20.

Once you find the Warder, hail him; he'll give you a quest update and should point you to the slave. The slave is hiding in an infineum grove immediately to the right as you run into the mines(in the middle of this big crystal patch); hail him to get the quest "Helping the Runaway" - he'll ask you to retrieve a key for his chains from the Captain.

The Captain is named Captain Fubared and is located in a tent at Yuni's steps; to get there, hug the right wall as you run south into the mines, then either clear through the camp or invis around the side (behind the tent, to the left/right, inside works best). Clear the tent mobs. Next, someone in your group - who's on this step of the quest - must hail the Captain, which will turn him agro and spawn his guards. 3-4 adds. your tank keeps the Captain occupied while you kill the adds first. Once the first guard is killed, DPS the other one, kill, then resume DPS on the Captain. He should spawn more guards around. DPS the Captain, loot the quest item, head back to slave. He'll ask you mine 5 Infineum Ore nodes, which are "!" items - but you need the Pickaxe mentioned above to hit them. they drop off the miners in the immedaite area. The respawn is fairly quick and they're all around, so just clear the immediate area until everyone's done. Return to Donovan with the ore, complete the quest, return to Donovan and get your cloak.

Premi quest :

2) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...f-destruction/

4) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...-of-agression/
5) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...ak-of-defence/



STEP 2:

"Infineum Immunity" ( http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...neum-immunity/ )

You'll obtain this quest from Donovan. The first step is to find The Book it can be found by running to the entrance of the mines; you can worm your way up the hill to the left. Continue southeast, either clearing or invising past the roamers; you'll eventually come to two buildings and a gazebo; the book is in the left building, which is populated by mobs. Clear them out before moving in. Select the book off the table, and get the quest.

You’re told to go to Sedymor and interrupt some sort of ritual. Run out of the book room, hug the right wall (i.e., go northish) and head to a building that’s tucked back up by the hill; it’ll have gazebos in front of it and guards at the door.

Get inside to the quest giver.

Premi quest :
1) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...ng-of-empathy/
2) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...f-destruction/
3) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...-of-agression/
4) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...of-deterrence/



STEP 3:

"Subquest: Vengeance" ( http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...088/vengeance/ )

Sedymor wants you to kill the Infineum Recruiter – Trevorak. Head west – you’ll come to another building with gazebos out front; Clear the mobs around her and any others you want, as kiting the boss encounter is a valid way to finish it.

Someone with the quest will have to hail the mob She’ll go agro and spawn 4 guardians (Guardian of the First, Second, Third and Fourth, respectively). You can finish as you did with Captain Fubared; tank the named, kill the adds, loot the diary off Trevorak, examine it; you’ll finish Vengeance. Infineum Immunity should also complete – return to Donovan to get your ring.


STEP 4:

"Immunity Potion" ( http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...munity-potion/ )

Obtained from Donovan after turning in Infineum Immunity; this quest is fairly simple and nets you a potion and an earring. Kill and loot the following in and around the Northern Infineum Mines:

1)Item: 10 - "Shard of Infineum" Mob: "Rolling Infineum Shards" or "Animated Infineum Shards" (best found on the platue)

2)Item: 2 - "Chunk of Animated Infineum" Mob: "Animated Infineum Chunk" (found south of the platue)

3)Item: 1 - "Sample of Boiling Infineum Ooze" Mob: "Boiling Infineum Ooze" (south of the patroling mob from the first quest)

4)Item: 5 - "Fragment of Infineum" Mob: "Animated Infineum Fragment" (south of the platue)

Once complete, head over to Acadd, who resides at the entrance to the Southern Infineum Mines out in the open. Drink the potion once you have it to quench the infineum affliction.

Premi quest:
1) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...ng-of-empathy/
2) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...f-destruction/
3) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...-of-onslaught/
4) http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...of-deterrence/


STEP 5:

"Power Cores & Cultists Robes"

Acadd has two quests to give you – one to get 10 golem powercores (from Infineum Horrors and other rock-mobs closeby) and one to get 4 cultist robes (from the humans; Diviners or Seers directly west).


STEP 6:

"Forging Infineum Weapons”

Put on the robe and make your way southwest through the forge until you come to a building ringed by non-agro mobs; head inside. When you enter, you’ll see 3 mobs; the Smith Of'barba and his two assistants Hail the smith; he’ll give you orders to make a weapon. You get the book from him at zero cost. (note: they also have semigood toolbelts at no cost as well)


STEP 7:

"Subquest: Forging Infineum Weapons pt.2”

Hail the assistant; (Dont right click like some people and kill the poor soul) he’ll make a weapon for you but you’re required to provide him the materials. he’ll list off what you need for each type of weapon, which you can then buy off the smithing vendor. Once he crafts the weapon you can complete the quest and head back to Acadd. The weapon cost about 1g30s.


STEP 8:

"Using the Weapon” (http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...ng-the-weapon/ )

Acadd will now tell you to “convince” the Tahir Jahani at the Altar of the Ages to tell you how to use infineum weapons. Run east to him from Acadd. As before, have someone hail him, then flatter him - he’ll turn agro and spawn three guards, while depopping all the other mobs at the altar. The depop is great because it gives you room to run around. kite the named while picking off the guards. Note that you can’t kill him right away; since he’ll travel through time, shift his form, basically be a royal pain in the ass for about 5 minutes. Each time he depops and respawns he’ll be in a different gazebo location; you can easily lull pull him solo, as agro mobs do spawn around each gazebo with him. Once he’s dead you’ll loot a book that teaches you how to use the weapon and when right clicked, will upgrade your forged infineum weapon to a Mercurial Infineum weapon. Note that this will also flag you for the Arena of Time. Head back to Acadd again.



STEP 9:

"The Summoning” ( http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...the-summoning/ )


Acadd will send you to stop a summoning ritual; run west you’ll come to a path through some infineum with mobs on either side that are non-agro. Head into the area and keep your group off to one side; have someone hail the quest NPC in the summoning circle, then sit back and enjoy the show. The huge golem to the right of the summoners will go berserk and kill everything around it – once that’s done, the quest NPC will respawn as a ghost. Again, have one person hail her; she’ll ask you to kill her, so go for it – she’ll put up something of a fight, though.

Once more back to Acadd. He'll send you to Smith Of'barba, who is in the Shidreth Mining Camp (continue west/north up the path). the blacksmith at the shidreth mining company will tell you to collect scavenged armor and gems in order for him to make me armor peices. He asks you to get armor to have it reroughted then to complete the armor then the Key from mobs in the Sanctuary. Any mobs can drop the key except the Rock Thingies. Gems do drop off the humanoid mobs in the sanctuary. However, they are pretty rare. It's important to note that the Head, Chest and Leg pieces need the Orange gem and those only drop on 30+ while all other armor pieces need the Gem of Energy (yellow I believe) and that drops off 29 and below. While hunting the gems you will also score plenty of infineum armor. Seems to drop 2x as much as gems.

Ricompense:
(non ci sono notizie precise so pochi quelli che l’hanno fatta e che hanno condiviso notizie certe sui pezzi di armatura qui potete vedere qualcosina non ci sono tutte)

http://vs.warcry.com/db/item/7534



STEP 10:

"The Ageless One" ( http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/databa...e-ageless-one/ )

From the smith head back to the sactuary
Go into the builing to the NW and float to the top. Head around counterclockwise and exit the door. Once you get to a path heading over nothing you will find the Ageless One. Listen to his quest text and you will have to kill four "guardians". Head back to the Ageless One and get the quest update. (min lvl 28) You will have to kill Kronus now (Level 33 6-dot). He is at the top of the structure you floated to the top of. Kill Him and then head back to the Ageless One and then Smith Of'bara to claim your Legendary weapon.

Some things cam from other parties so they might not be perfect, but I hope this helps those that had questions. After this you head to the Strands of the ancients for the Pantheon Quests. Which i will post after people have played with for a while.
Below is a post of a map I quickly did. not perfect, but it helps.
