Just picked up a quest to find ten pages of a book scattered around the world ... quest seems to indicate it's for a spell. Anyone got any more info?
Shihan · 2007-02-13 06:16
Where'd ya pick this quest up by chance?
Blackard · 2007-02-13 06:18
I picked that up in Beta 5 in Khal. Never found any of the pages though!
Shihan · 2007-02-13 06:37
LOL
Dmity, you never answered me in the other thread ( was an edit )... did you play on E'ci in EQ1?
I saw you make a pointy hat reference in one thread and remember that was the huge thing for the Dmitry on E'ci... loved the pointy hat ( even hats that were not good stats ).

Anyone at all ever found any of these pages?
tigertailz · 2007-02-13 06:55
rare world drop as far as i know - i have page 7 in my inventory from about lvl 7 or so....can't find the quest giver though :/
Shihan · 2007-02-13 06:56
Ah nice man!

Anyhow, back on topic sorry
XaxiusShadowspire · 2007-02-13 06:59
What's wrong with that? I loved that quest.
Shihan · 2007-02-13 07:01
The staff of the wheel quest was great... kinda. :P
Gemdiver · 2007-02-13 07:15
I wasnt upset....staff of the wheel/ice comet quest was one of my fondest early memories in EQ. I only hope that the pages are ground spawns so you dont get lvl 20+ sorcies camping lvl 5 trash for hours tring to get an ultra-rare drop.
Lorrastis · 2007-02-13 08:49
I wouldn't mind an Ice Comet/Staff of the Wheel type quest. Ice Comet was the shizznit pre-Kunark. If the pages have names like "Azia" and "Beza", we'll know this is a throwback to EQ1.

LOL woah that is cool. Marrical was hella fast levelling cleric I remember. You were a rogue originally nec Pas?
The Arch Conservative · 2007-02-13 09:48
I've got page 7. It dropped off a random ant right next to Bordinar's Cleft. I'll mail it to you.
a poster · 2007-02-13 10:01
These things were almost completed in beta but I'm unsure what the result was. I'd ask over on the cleric boards because treleana had most of the peices.
Shihan · 2007-02-13 11:22
To quote Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, "Correctomundo".
Shihan was druid ( pre-kunark, full PoF gear FTW ? ) - Gave account away to friend
Started back up in Kunark, made Kvan - Rogue ( First "raid" character )
When they added the pussy.. er.. cat race, I made Kibanu - Shaman ( Became main raid character ) but played both depending on what raid needed :P
And yep Marrical was the cleric, come to think of it, so was Kvenau She quit and came back like I did but made the same class.
Good times back then w/ Ashorty/Gotz and crew.
Sorry to hijack thread
Vlane · 2007-02-13 01:53
In beta i found one of these pages off a skeleton SW of Khal. It was around some ruins. Big camp of skeletons, groups of 3 if i remember right, pretty low level.
Lorrastis · 2007-02-14 12:36
Hey Kibanu:
I remember your beastlord from the Ashorty Public raiders. I had my wizzie Lorrastis in that crew.
Peace.
Shihan · 2007-02-14 12:52
I remember your beastlord from the Ashorty Public raiders. I had my wizzie Lorrastis in that crew.
Peace.
Ah yeah I remember ya too! Though, my beastlord was pretty much given up on in the mid-30's ( before they became gods apparently :P ) and switched to the shaman ( my wife made Kibanu originally actually, we both made Kerra classes as alts. I just kept on going with her shaman lol.
As seen from my Vanguard profile, I'm Shihan on Hilsburn now. Sorceror of course. Just hope they fix our shtuff soon.
Cylus · 2007-02-14 12:53
I tried making a gravity-well staff for you guys yesterday but couldn't get it to work. Target an NPC, cast the staff and it'd suck all the NPCs to that NPC so you could AE kite; it'd would also occasionally screw up and just aggro em all on ya.
Oh well, maybe sometime later
Ordith · 2007-02-14 01:12
Oh well, maybe sometime later
That sounds more like a tinkered Gnomish device than a staff, Cylus. If by "maybe sometime later" you mean "definitely when I get a chance" then I'm all for it.
Ofia · 2007-02-14 01:27
Oh well, maybe sometime later
Occasionally screw up? Isn't that how sorcerers keep their lives exciting?
Illusive · 2007-02-14 01:54
Oh well, maybe sometime later
make it work off of pets(and other players) and/or give us a familliar to do our dirty work.
it would almost be like a reverse rescue. me likey.
Qaman · 2007-02-14 03:09
Oh well, maybe sometime later
It should screw up occasionally and become a black hole that eats the planet and causes the whole server to start over from scratch. If things are going to screw up, make em screw up big!
CabotTP · 2007-02-14 03:43
Treleana's on Shidreth now, and she's been working hard on this quest again in the live game. If you're really dying to know more, just make a L1 char on Shidreth and go ask her
Khieran · 2007-02-14 05:28
I picked up Page 7 from the arthropods (level 10-11) near the lake at Themnwar's Shield - the lake with the "fallen star" in it. I killed maybe 20 arthropods so far and got 2 page 7s, so my guess would be different pages drop in different parts of the world?
Saturnine · 2007-02-15 02:56
The quest is intended to span the entire world, yes. I'm really interested in this quest. A soon as I can drag myself away from diplo! I'll look into it.
Mson · 2007-02-16 04:07
whats the NPC name in khal and one what side do he stand?
Got like 1,4,7,9 and maybe one more page but havent figure out what to do with em but this quest explains it. (tho im never in khal as im KOS there...zz)
Daeanor · 2007-02-16 05:38

It sounds from the previous description to be the Protectors of Fate by the huge glowing Eye of Fate west of Khal. If you follow the road west, you can't mess it unless you are asleep . I'm going to try blowing up a few dozen of these today to see if I get a drop.
a poster · 2007-02-16 09:55
the guys is right outside of the city... I will get a screenie later when i can play
a poster · 2007-02-17 03:28
Can't get the game to work. Patcher is repatching over and over. Right now I am trying to do a complete reinstall which means at least a two hour patch.
a poster · 2007-02-17 03:57
Oh well, maybe sometime later
When I've got some spare time left - somewhere the next decade or so - I *really* need to start playing this game. Stuff like this sounds awesome.
Daeanor · 2007-02-17 05:03
I can confirm page 1 drops from the skeletons west of Khal at the Eye of Fate. You really can't miss this thing if you follow the road out of town, it's like a huge beacon, and the only place nearby with skellies. I got the page from the Watchers at the top of the hill, but the ones around the base may have it too. Anyone over level 10 can kill these things (and they make decent AE targets too now that ER is unnerfed some), but a bit easy once you are 12 or over.
Saturnine · 2007-02-17 11:07
Page 6 apparently dropped off an Warden of Ice in Magi hold.
I haven't made it over there to confirm it yet. Keep the info coming! This quest intrigues me.
Any one have the name of the npc that gives the quest? I found and npc that talks about the story but he doesn't offer me a quest.
CyclopsSlayer · 2007-02-19 01:14
Got Page 1 off a Ksaravi in the Hollow outside Khal.
Quest giver is on the east side of Khal, just outside the Tavern.
Saturnine · 2007-02-19 05:55
So is this the guy that gives the quest? He talks about it, but I see no shield and nowhere to accept a quest ofter the conversation. I am most confused.
Blackard · 2007-02-19 06:06
That looks like the guy I got the quest from in Beta, but at lvl 21, he will not give it to me either. In beta, I think I was around 30 or so before I ever talked to him.
Daeanor · 2007-02-19 06:19
He would talk about it in beta, now that you mention it, at any level, but never offered me the quest (I never got past 15 in beta).
Saturnine · 2007-02-20 06:21
Ran past him today. I'm lvl 25 now, and he now gives me the quest, which is awesome cos I've wanted to do this since beta.
Annoying thing is I had all the info on the pages from the beta boards saved but I must have had it on my desktop still when I lost my HD on day 2 of pre-release=/ Now I have no idea where to go!
Valona · 2007-02-23 01:32
page 4 is off the trash inside gulgrethor fortress in martok
a poster · 2007-02-25 05:42
Heard a rumor today that this is for a mount.
Blackard · 2007-02-26 02:38
Just dinged 23 and he finally opened up and gave the quest to me.
a poster · 2007-02-27 05:45
Search for "Book of Morfare" and you can get a few more bits of info.
a poster · 2007-02-28 10:01
Ok as promised I have collected all 10 of the book of morfare pages
there is no reward for just the pages however it will send you on a secondary quest who's reward is Book of Morfare (soulbound) 145energy 145hp either hand activated ability Targonor's call item lvl 40
Targonor's call effect is unknown tho i suspect it to be a pet according to the lore of the book i'll post more info as i get it.
I'd like to thank everyone in beta and live on shildreth who helped with information on pages and council members or who just cheered me on
any 36+ groups who would like to help me finish the last 2 components please send me a tell ingame as they are in places a bit high for my normal grouping partners.
Thanks again all who helped in this massive undertaking
Treleana Faithgiver (Guildleader of Formidable) Shildreth
Woot!!! Treleana solved the pages part at least!!!!
http://www.silkyvenom.com/forums/sho...256#post136256
Illusive · 2007-02-28 11:14
that would rock if it were a dragon mount.
Treleana · 2007-02-28 11:27
Been a long time since i been on Graffe's as Trelani in EQ1
how to spend 4 months on a quest!!
Step 1 pester vanguard dev's about flying mounts till they make a quest soo obscure you waste every waking min on it. At this point let me be Absolutely clear this quest DOES NOT give a flying mount. they just suggested this quest to me to shut me up.
i don't want to give a complete spoiler here because alot are having fun hunting down the pages but i will give some hints.
page 1-3 are on qualia page 4-6 are on kojan/martok page 7-10 are on thestra. although you can pick the quest up at 23 odds are you won't be finishing either part until 30+
the pages can be complete at or around 30 depending on if you have good tank and group for page 10.
the second part invloves finding the 3 members of the council. I had scoped them out already in beta but the quest also give general directions to them chunk at least thank god.
I hopefully will be completing second part tomarrow or the day after i was 40 in beta and last council member is sitting beside some lvl 40 6dots so i need to beef up or bumm a ride with a higher group to get to him again.
if you would like some specifics on pages and what not you can email [email protected] i won't guarantee i'll give ya all the pages but i can start ya off in the right direction.
I would like to Thank Everyone who helped i did not do this on my own and i don't beleive anyone could it was designed to get community involvement and thats how i went about doing it. i chased down every rumor of a page and every i thought i saw something weird over there thing i could find. in beta it came down to two pages i was missing in live i found those two pages relatively quickly but was hampered by the fact that one of the pages got taken out of the loot table by accident. --3000 kills later i found that out =(
i wish everyone the best of luck on it and as soon as i know what the spell does i'll be sure to let everyone know. even the people on mars cause i'm gonna be happy as hell to have it done.
as a side note there is one more potential upgrade to this quest a part 3 i can forsee.. the council members have a teacher i never located and they all asked to be forgiven by him so this may not even be the end of the quest we'll see

** edit **
vanguard code for link to book for those interested got a few emails about it
<item-1025679:541522521::0:0:1:>Book of Morfare</link>
type that into chat window to get a link to the item
Daeanor · 2007-03-01 05:47
Aw, c'mon ... we can handle spoilers here, no need to do the e-mail thing. Just put it in a spoiler tag; or better yet, wiki it. I was thinking it was time to consolidate page discoveries anyway, but there wasn't enough data to make a good start of it yet.
a poster · 2007-03-01 05:47
Woot thanks so much for posting Tre... several people here are working on the quest on Woefeather and think it's a hoot. Do you have any idea what the final reward does at this point?
I am a big fan of these scaveger hunt type quests myself and know the incredible effort and luck that goes into em. Congrats on finishing and congrats on a true cross server first.
a poster · 2007-03-01 05:48
I can spoiler tag it if ya want to pm it to me here Tre. You could also email me at [email protected] and I can do the tags.

lol yeah thats what i get for multi tasking was trying to update the thread on Silky Venom with locations
Treleana · 2007-03-06 12:11
Ok got down and got book tonight. The book seems to be slightly bugged main effect is a call to Old Targonor where you are supposed to say a pass phraze that doesn't seem to be functioning or we are saying in the wrong area. "Thestra's Shadow" i'll continue to work on it and let you know any additional information. There is one piece of the quest i've been missing and now thing must be somewhere in the game. The council members had a teacher Verfeus that i never found in beta. He may be in some of the newly opened area's or in Old Targonor itself. If anyone see's him floating around let me know where so i can investegate further.
Treleana · 2007-03-06 12:30
anyone moving to the complete stage of this quest
i forgot to take a screenshot of the Final text if someone could email me a pic or post one it would be greatly appreciated.
[email protected]
a poster · 2007-03-06 06:40
Tre, I really do not understand that post. The book has a clickable effect that is "Call to Old Targonor?" Is that is a teleport or is that a summons?
You mention of the phrase... does that imply the book is a key and you mean the phrase is like the key to enter that dungeon in Tursh?
Please clarify if you get a few minutes.
Treleana · 2007-03-06 05:41
well i'm mashing together about 4 peoples accounts.
for me quiping the books casts some unkown spell that i resist !!
for others they are getting teleported to Old Targonor (i'm thinking lvl is the diffeernce here as i am not yet 40 but am high enough to equip book
the turn n text says you have to say a password "Heresten's Shadow" to summon the Minion <--quests words not mine how ever no one can get that part to work in any fashion that i've heard
for those that did get ported one of two things happen
some book poofs (think that account was just a general inventory crash issue)
or the book takes on a 20 day reuse timer like 20 real life days
