SOULFIRE

The Paladin Epic 1.0: Part Two

The Soulfire is the second step of the Paladin Epic Quest. You should probably start this quest by Level 40 and you will need help. You can start sooner if you have help form a few high-level (45 plus) players. The Sword comes with five charges of Complete Heal that you can use on yourself or someone else.

There is no way to recharge the Sword once you have used up the five Complete Heals. If you want a charged Soulfire -- you will probably just have to quest it again. This can be done by following the same steps as below and then destroying the Soulfire you have just before the last step (they are Lore -- you can't have two).

The set-back to this Sword is that it really isn't a good weapon at all. It is slow and low damage for a 2HS. By the time I quested it, I had no less than two Swords I considered to be much better (both with better damage and speed). It does look really cool, however, as the Sword is a flaming sword.

As a Paladin, it is a Sword you MUST quest if you want your Epic 1.0 sword.

If you decide to follow this quest as designed, know that the quest is very involved. It involves trade skills, faction and a lot of travel.

QUEST SHORTCUT

There are actually multiple quests involved and tied in with this one. Despite what you read on-line or hear from others -- the below process will work and shortcut the process.

NOTE: Parts of the Messenger Quest (aka Paladin Message --  note to the spy in the Freeport Militia); the Test of Truth Quest (message delivery); and the Zimel's Blades Quest (meeting Groflah Steadirt in the bar) -- are not covered here. They were not necessary to complete the quest.

1) FACTION!

This step is the most important.

You MUST build faction with the Temple of Life (aka the Priests of Life) in North Qeynos.

The final NPC (Brother Hayle) will not give you the Soulfire unless you have at least WARMLY FACTION. If you do the final step with less faction you will prolong the quest.

UPDATE: I have received e-mails telling me that they have done this with Kindly faction.

I will not go into how the quests is prolonged. If you follow this guide, it will not be necessary to accomplish prolonged and additional steps.

There are several ways to increase this faction. The easiest and safest way (but time consuming and expensive) is to go to North Qeynos and find the NPC named Lashun Novashine (Level 5).

He walks about preaching, but he is normally found at the Temple of Life. Simply give him 2 gold (or 20 silver) at a time and gain faction each time. To see what your faction is -- simply "con" (consider) Lashun Novashine.

Keep doing this until you are kindly or warmly! If you don't, you can and will have trouble in later steps, especially with the NPC's you deal with.

Once you have sufficient faction, you are ready to move to step two.

.

2) MISTMOORE CASTLE (aka Castle Mistmoore): You need to find a Troll named Xicotl (Level 41).

He spawns in the "hot tub" room inside the castle (go in the secret entrance by the graveyard, up and stay left, basically).

You need to kill him to loot the Glowing Sword Hilt (Magic, Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.2 -- aka Hilt of Soulfire).

If he isn't up, you will have to camp that room.

NOTE: Xicotl was moved to Lesser Faydark in 2005. However, he was moved back via a patch in October 2005.

.

3) EAST FREEPORT: You are looking for Merko Quetalis (Level 61).

He is in the bottom of the Hall of Truth (use find).

Hail him and follow along or just try saying, "What small task?"

He will give you A Note (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0).

.

4) COMMONLANDS. There are three things to do here.

.

5) Now watch for Altunic Jartin (Level 20) -- he walks about the zone. He is a traveling Merchant.

Hail him and follow along and he will tell you to follow him.

He will go back to his hut, where Squire Narl (Level 5) will soon appear.

Kill Narl and loot A Human Head (Lore, No Trade, Weight 1.0).

Give Altunic the Cloth Shirt and the A Human Head and he will give you a Token of Generosity (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

.

6) EAST FREEPORT. Kill A Large Rat (Level 1) for a few Rat Ears (Weight 0.1) and A Snake (Level 1) for a few Snake Scales (Weight 0.1), outside the city gates.

.

7) While here, you need to kill Sir Lucan D'Lere (Level 48 -- leader of the Freeport Militia and located in the Militia House, upstairs).

NOTE: Killing Sir Lucan WILL cause a serious faction hit with the Freeport Militia.

However -- this CAN be avoided, with some help and some strategy.

Sir Lucan is a Paladin. If he uses Lay on Hands you will essentially have to kill him twice -- and then you will have to kill him a third time when his undead version arises and attacks you as well. You can just kill him out right (faction hit), or zone out just before he dies, letting your friends kill him for you (no faction hit).

Once he is dead, loot the Testimony of Truth (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0) (identifies as "Sir Lucan's Testimony").

I have heard people say they have had problems with Sir Lucan spawning. However -- I have always found him to be hanging out in the Militia Guard house.

.

8) WEST FREEPORT: Head to the Paladin Guild (Hall of Truth).

NOTE: The Prophecy of Ro expansion did away with North Freeport.

Find Valeron Dushire (Level 61 and give him the Testimony.

He will give you the Brilliant Sword of Faith (Magic, Lore, No Drop, 2HS, 20 Damage, 44 Delay, 50 Mana, Weight 10.0, Paladin only).

.

9) While you are here, find Merko Quetalis (Level 61).

It appears you will need at least Warmly faction with him (to do this, kill Orcs in East Commonlands).

Give him a Spider Venom Sac.

He will give you a Token of Bravery (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

.

10) Now give him the Token of Bravery and the Token of Generosity.

This will spawn a Guard Willia (Level 6), in the area of p855, n215.

Guard Willia is actually a girl disguised as a male guard. Don't worry about talking to her as you have to kill her (she will try to convince you to help her).

Before you attack, root her so she cannot run away and then kill her. She is an easy kill.

Loot the Token of Truth (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1) from her corpse.

.

11) Give the Token of Truth to Merko and he will give you the Testimony (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0) (Identifies as "Testimony of Truth") -- not to be confused with the item, from a previous step.

.

12) Near the bank, find the baking and brewing area.

Find a merchant who sells Bottles (Weight 0.1). Buy one. Make sure you have a Water Flask (Weight 0.4). If not, buy one of those as well.

At a brew barrel -- combine a Water Flask, a Bottle and a Snake Scales (see #5) to make some Bog Juice (Weight 0.4).

This should be trivial with a Brew Skill of 21.

.

13) At an oven -- combine a Fire Beetle Eye with a Rat Ear to make an Edible Goo (Weight 0.0).

This should be trivial with a Baking skill of 21.

.

14) EAST FREEPORT: Go to the bar on the far side of the docks (Seafarers Roost).

Buy four (4) bottles of Drom's Champagne (Weight 0.4).

Hang out until you see the beggar Tykar Renlin (Level 10).

Give him one Drom Champagne at a time.

After you give him all four, he will give you a blanket called Bunker Cell #1 (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.2).

.

15) EAST FREEPORT: Head to the arena and go down into the bottom. You will find a prison area.

In one of the cells you will see A Prisoner (Level 6 to 15), in the area of p785, n280.

This is actually Ariska Zimel himself. Give him the Bog Juice, Edible Goo and Bunker Cell #1.

He will give you a key marked H.K. 102 (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

.

16) HIGH KEEP. Go to Assistant Kiolna (Level 25) (near the Bankers) and give her the H.K. 102 Key.

She will give you a A Sealed Note (Lore, Weight 0.0) to deliver.

.

17) SOUTHERN PLAINS OF KARANA:

You need to find an NPC named Brother Hayle, near the spires standing by a tree, surrounded by some Gnolls (you may have to kill the Gnolls).

NOTE: He was formerly located in the Liar of Splitpaw, but was moved in 2005 when that zone was revamped.

Give him the A Sealed Note.

He should give you A Note (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0), which basically tells you what items he needs/wants.

.

18) Now give him the Glowing Sword Hilt, the Brilliant Sword of Faith, the Testimony and return A Note to him.

He will then give you the Soulfire!
