DREADSTONE CRUSADER'S HAMMER (Paladin Epic 3.0)

&

POSSESSED DREADSTONE CRUSADER'S HAMMER (Paladin Epic 3.5)

This page is under construction.

This quest is essentially the same for all classes, they just get different epic items out of it.

This Rain of Fear Quest is for a new Epic (3.0) that can then be upgraded into an even better Epic (3.5), that involves progression and collects.

The Epic 3.0 is awarded from the Achievement: The Depths of Fear (Rain of Fear). While eight steps / requirements are listed, it is far more involved than it appears. Acquiring the Epic 3.0 & 3.5 involves acquiring some Collect Items, related pre-requisites, Achievements, related / required Achievements and a Raid Drop.

PROVE YOUR WORTH, SLAVE

1) CHELSITH REBORN: You can by-pass this and skip to the needed mission (see here), but only if you tag along with some one who can request the mission. However, if you want to do this your self, here is how.

This is a solo task that is automatically given to you the first time you try to enter the city (upper area, up the first ramp from the beach).

.

2) Find Rikkey the Cricket in the first building at the top of the ramp (/waypoint 140, -685, 185). Hail him and follow along.

Next, do the following:

.

5) Head to the Market area in the top level of the city, to the mid-east, to find Belissa the Barker (/waypoint 1665, -875, 320). Say to Belissa the Barker, "Sridge likes my style" -- then follow along.

.

6) Head to the Aqueducts (use any portal along the walls on this Level of the city, or jump into the hole to the northeast (where the giant pillars are), to find Kilithyr (/waypoint 1525, 55, 145). Hail Kilithyr and follow along.

.

7) Head two (2) rooms to the east to find Grulid (/waypoint 1495, -45, 145). Hail Grulid and follow along to finish the task.
