Vxed
This expedition is pretty much like a LDoN adventure. You go in, and must kill approximately 50-60 monsters. Best way I have found that just kill your way up the right path will give you enogh kills for a win, And i would have a slower pulls there. Once you kill enough enemies, a Stonespiritist Ekikoa will spawn in the northeastern most room in the zone. All you must do to succeed this expedition is spawn the NPC and say “tend” to her. You can then click the stone behind her and port out. Takes like 1 to 3 hours. A tip for this trial is to bring an enchanter. Charm one of the mobs and buff the chanter pet. Let the pet do all the work, have a cleric just CH the pet, and have the enchanter stay at max range from the pet with it snared. It goes fast this way. It also helps to have a paladin to AA stun the mob the charmed pet is fighting. SNARE Kyvs (archers) and Ukuns (humanoid dogs), snare them or you will die. They run at Selos speed and will give you nightmares if you don’t snare.
Once you are "flagged" as having completed Vxed, you can not get the trial version again from the Apprentice (you can start an "exp" version though – from scribe if you say “vxed” or “tipt”).
Things to look for while doing Vxed: a flickering finkenheimer, a tarnished sprocket, some uncoiled springs, a greased BELT, and some connection rods. When you have them all place, the sprocket, springs, bolt, and rods in the finkenheimer and bring me the result. I must warn you to be careful though. If these things could stop my clockwork, they must be pretty powerful creatures. Breakdown in Communication Quest
Tipt
This expedition consists of three trials. The zone is a fairly straight forward chasm. Once you pass all three trials in Tipt (this zone is a challenge). You must hail the NPC at the end of the chasm.
Fight your way to the end of this zone to get to where the Riddler guards the gate. When you talk to him, a dozen or so items spawn on the ground and he asks a riddle. Answer the riddle by handing him the item that correctly answers the riddle. Get it wrong and enough mobs spawn on you that your 6 man group is finished. Get it right and you gain access to the boss. Beat the boss and you win. You get a no rent key along the way to the final area, some time after you spawn the ghost woman. Keep that key on a corpse and any rogue can then SoS through for flag any time, or on a necro that can FD flop, or gasp warp and summon corpse to the gate.
A) First trial: Lizard room
Looks like an empty room as first sight. What you do here is send 3 people invis in and make them run separate ways (do not exit room or agro mobs outside the room). Eventually they will trigger trap and lots of little lizards will pop. Clear them out, after you're done prepare for named. Has low HP but nasty DPS of course so be prepared. It is best to just have your tank Disc and burn this guy ASAP
B) Second trial: Ghosts
Again use the 3 people invis method to spawn ghosts.. BUT make them walk slowly so they don’t agro them (they see invis, I think). You then pull 1 by 1 the ghosts outside of the houses. Then clear left house and then right house and finally you talk to the NPC. He tells you to find a key. BTW you may use this room as a saferoom after you're done. No repops here.
C) 3rd room:
Clear the mobs as usual then pull the snake lady (Ikaav whatever) and she will drop the key. To clear this room just start clearing a side first then move to that side and pull the remaining mobs. Be careful of repops again... cannot stress how important it is to time them. THE PERSON THAT LOOTS THE KEY will have to answer the Riddler.
D) The riddler: You can Warp and rez to here.
Fight up to the Riddler. So make sure the one talking to the riddler is the group leader. Follow what he says, he then drops some items in the ground (exactly 14 items). You need to answer his riddles by handing him the item that is the answer to the riddle. If answer any riddle incorrectly, doors will open, 12 mobs will spawn and they will kill you. Well moving on...
Awsers to the one i have gotten
I'm offered to the loved,
and also to the dead.
I come in many varied hues,
most notably red.
My pricks are known to pierce the skin,
often resulting in wounds that bled.

The finger I lick will soon turn red.

What am I?

When I am filled
I can point the way,
When I am empty
Nothing moves me,
I have two skins
One without and one within.

Lovely and round,
I shine with pale light,

A lady's delight.

I drive men mad
For love of me,
Easily beaten,

E) The Boss:
Fight up to next large room, this is where the named is. He is right in front of the Bridge. BE CAREFUL of aggroing him. Once he moves, he stands there, he doesn’t wander back to him spawn point. The only way to move him is to aggro him again. Pull the Right back of the room then move up into it. Clear out room. The guys with the bow and the arrows on their back, move at bard speed. And one of them re-spawns on a 10 min timer. So clear room, wait for re-spawn, med up, pull re-spawn, and then Named. I really don’t have a good way of killing him, other then FAST! He rampages A LOT. He hits for 3k. So you really don’t want any one in rampage range. Have bard pull with debuff (HOS), and Deftdance disc, and have MT taunt it off as it’s slowed. GL!
Hailing the shimmering spirit does not get you the flag...
Once you've hailed him, you still need to run across the bridge and just on the other side, to the left is another Ghost npc that you need to hail to actually get flagged for KodTaz. (Assuming you have trials 1-5 already)
Things to look for while doing Tipt - There are five different types of cells, each one is called Vaifan's Power Cell -- named after the most ingenious gnome there is, of course. The cells are named from A to E. When you have collected all of them, place them in this power pack, activate it, and return it to me.' Breakdown in Communication Quest
With the Vxed and Tipt expeditions completed, along with the sewers or Smith Rondo events completed, you will be flagged for Kod`Taz.
