Hey guys, just gonna say a little bit about that quest we all know and love. Or if you dont know it heres the lowdown. Only gonna go over camps and useful stuff, cause you can look up the "who drops what" on allakhazam or something.
First book is tome of miragul. It drops off of an ancient construct in the hole. The room its in isnt hard, but there are a few adds (2 or 3 i think). This npc is almost totally resistant to magic. I killed it with my 70clr .(boxing war for melee dps) its not that hard. Turn it in to assistant.
Next book is history of the di'zok, drops in chardok from loremaster piza'tak. He spawns in the library, PH is an apprentice lorekeeper. Not particularly hard. Soloed the camp with my 70clr, but was almost tough cause you get pretty much whole room when you pull the one. Turn it in.
Next is Journal of aatalataal. (Designer who made that name was suffering from parkinsons at the time). It drops in that bitch of a zone kedge keep from estrella of gloomwater, shes easy. Turn it in.
Next is Firebone notebook. Drops off of Aramin the Spider Guardian in plane of disease. Not too hard, duoed with my 70clr/war(clr has full dakkamors/epic1.5/time gear, war has lower time gear/elemental). She hits for around 350ish, rampages. Took me about 6 tries to get the firebone notebook, although she is on a one day spawn timer so can kill her a lot. Turn it in.
Next is Sanguine Tome. Drops in Cazic Thule off of a tae ew bloodfiend. Pretty rare spawn in the maze, in the room with the 4 firepot things sitting in the floor. Couple of adds in there but spawning it is hardest part. This zone is full of goodies go camp a shield of striding/boots of flowing slime or somethin inbetween spawns. Turn it in.
Finally is Velks Spellbook. Boxed my war/clr and had a 65 necro friend and a 66 clr friend helpin out, we all had MQ so getting to him wasnt the problem. He resists most spells, need melee dps. Turn that in.
After you have turned all of the books in the assistant will have given you all of the tradeskill items you need for making the phylactery. You mean now i have to do tradeskills???!!! yep, its a bitch. Although, he also gives you a token of service. If you get a Velious "ornate" chest item and turn it into Raotin teawel ,in ocean of tears, along with your token of service, he gives you robe/tunic with nice stats and flowing thought 4( thats 4 mana regen for you ppl new to EQ).
Items you need to camp for the tradeskill part that go along with the items he gives you are: Sand of ro (giants in deserts), Stone silk (from a stone spider in solb(nagafens lair)), Phase spider thread(phase spiders in dragon necropolis),Heavy clay (from muddites in beholder's maze(gorge of king xorbb)),Spiritual anchor (from ghoul of takish hiz in sro/oasis of marr, still havent gotten mine yet), Precious garnet(from Allizwesaur in ocean of tears), and a vial of vampire blood (from a glyphed ghoul in mistmoore, spawns where all the other glyphed stuff does). None of these have proven to be particularly hard to get, although i have killed the ghoul in sro/oasis many times and not obtained the anchor. Hmmm. You need a skill of around 170+ to combine these items together to make the pieces of the phylactery, after that just combine them in the box the assistant gave you. Tailoring is only skill im not sure what lvl you need it to be able to combine.
For all of the tradeskilling, i looked at the recipes used in the macros that armysoldier posted, (thanks man), and just did them myself cause i couldnt get the macros to work =p. However, that autocombine macro was quite handy, thanks whoever posted that. Hardest part was when i got to tailoring......after i went through a ton of silk, heady kiola, vials of viscous mana, hopper hides, i got stuck. I now have a skill of 164 in tailoring. EQtraders says i can do the tailoring combine for phylactery with a skill greater than 163. However, when i try to combine the stuff in a sewing kit it tells me "you need to be more experienced in your skill before even sonsidering to attempt this combination." (the bastards).
So anyways heres everything i know about this quest.
OH! btw hehe rewards are good: Either a 2 mana/hp regen clicky or a 5hpregen clicky. Clicky means instant click buff item for you newbies. You may also get the FT4 robe/tunic if you get a velious chest piece.
Well good luck doing this monster-of-a-quest. If anyone has questions post them or send me a message.
**EDIT** Just did tailoring combine at a skill of 166! yay!
