Beginning the Druid Epic!

The Druid Epic starts with talking to Telin Darkforest in Burning Woods. He's hidden in a grove of thick trees near to the Skyfire zone usually around 3200, 2900. He's very easy to find on tracking if you zone into Burning Woods from Skyfire. Start up your tracking and you should be able to find him easily.

Ask him & quot; what action & quot; and he will give you a note. If he won't respond to you, you need to do the Muffin Quest (see Epic Faction Fix guide).

Now that you have the note, you need to give the note to Faelin Bloodbriar in Greater Faydark. She spawns around 1500, 500 near Orc Hill and the entrance to Crushbone. She has Orc Pawn placeholder that is standing between two trees . Make sure that you continue to SoW yourself. When she does spawn, she immediately SoWs herself and takes off running! When you see her on tracking take out the note and start running to her. She runs in a circular pattern and will not stop if hailed. Run up behind her and give her the note. Once you have given her the note you will receive a ring and she will despawn.

Your next step is to go to the Kithicor Forrest. Once there, head towards the entrance to High Hold Pass. Start your tracking and find Giz X'Tin. He is a dark elf, but will not attack you. Hand him the ring you received from Faelin and he gives you a dark metal coin.

Handing him the ring will spawn a level fifty Dark Elf Reaver but with SoW or wolf form you will be able to run away without a problem. Killing the Reaver is not recommended. You will be hit with negative faction, and may not be able to redo this portion of the quest if necessary.

Now return to Telin Darkforest and give him the dark metal coin. He will give it back to you as worn metal coin and tells you to find Athele.

Now is when you will need to bring a few friends along. You are about to do several trades in a row which will cause a spawn of three Reavers. You should not need a huge group of people, only enough to keep three NPCs busy (they are all about level fifty). Park your friends up the hill from the Barbarian Farm, about neg 1500, neg 1000.  You need to make sure to do all the trades in order.  If you do not complete all the trades you will have to start over.

Go to Athele. Athele is in East Karana north of the barbarian fishing village. Give her the worn metal coin and receive a Braided Grass Amulet.

Now track Sionae. Give the Braided Grass Amulet to Sionae. From Sionae you will receive a Frayed Braided Grass Amulet.

Take the Frayed Braided Grass Amulet and give it to Nuien. You will receive the same amulet back. Finally hand that amulet to Teloa. Teola will say to follow her, instead run/gate back to your party.

A Dark Elf Corruptor and two Dark Elf Reavers will spawn near your party. The Corrupter is your target. If he is not attacked within ten seconds of spawning he will despawn (and you start all over again). Easiest way to handle this, is for you to take care of the Corrupter and have your party take care of the two Dark Reavers.

The Reavers will try to kill all the druids/rangers that you were just dealing with. You do not want this to happen! If the NPCs are killed before you finish killing the Corrupter he will despawn. Kill the Corrupter, loot the Fleshbound Tome from his body, and then kill the Reavers. (suggestion here, an enchanter can make this VERY easy, as they can mez the two Reavers until the Corrupter is dead).

If the Reavers kill Athele wait one hour of real world time and Athele will spawn again. Give her the tome and she gives you an Earthstained Note.

Bring this to Ella Foodcrafter, a Halfling running around in Misty Thicket.

Like Faelin, she constantly runs, so you have to chase her. Give her the Earthstained Note and she will tell you that she needs a mixture. She will give you her mixing bowl. It is a container so make sure you have a free slot in your inventory. She also mentions some kind of ancient bowl that she needs.

The mixing bowl she hands you is the Shiny Tin Bowl.

The Hardened Mixture

You need to forage four items from different zones to combine in the mixing   bowl. The items are:

   Chilled Tundra Root from Everfrost
   Sweetened Mudroot from Misty Thicket
   Speckled Moldy Mushrooms from Innothule Swamp
   Heartfruit from Greater Faydark

You can forage these items at anytime. All you need is over one hundred in   foraging (which is level twenty). There has been a change to foraging   that seems to allow you to forage these items at anytime.  So you may   not need one hundred in foraging any longer.

;If you forage these items below fifty one keep them! It will save you time later.

Once you have all four items, combine them in the mixing bowl and you will receive the Hardened Mixture. You can now dispose of the mixing bowl.

The Runed Bowl

Now you need to go to the Chessboard in Timorous Deep. If you are level 52 or higher take the barge from the Oasis docks, get off on the first island, and cast Egress. You will port to the Chessboard. If you don't have it egress the alternative is to levitate and SoW and run to the south. You should eventually be able to track Alrik Farsight. If not his loc is approximately -6500, 2000.

When you find Alrik, hail him then say & quot;How do you make an ancient bowl? & quot; and & quot; I can take the artifact .& quot; He will then give you a crushed pot and send you to Felwithe.

In Felwithe you need to find Farious Elianos. He is in Felwithe South at   the merchant building near the caster's guild (you can find him with tracking).

   If he isn't willing to respond to you then you need to refer to the Epic   Faction Fixing page under the Keepers of the Art quest (batwing quest). You can also gain positive faction by killing Kizdean Gix in West Commons (dark elf near the inns). You must be at least amiable with the Keepers of   the Art before he will respond to you.

   Once Farios cons amiable and will talk to you, give him the pot and in return you will receive a grocery list.

Take the grocery list to Merchant Nora in the Shop of All Halos in Felwithe north, near the cleric guild. She will give you a bag of provisions when you hand her the grocery list.

Bring the grocery list to Farios and he will give you a receipt for the ancient bowl.

Now return to Alrik Farsight in Timorous Deep. Give Alrik the receipt and he will give you an ancient pattern.

The pattern instructs you to combine the pattern with a piece of enchanted clay and platinum speckled powder in a pottery wheel. Don't worry if you don't have any skills in pottery there is no skill check.

To receive the platinum speckled powder you must first forage a Rose of Firiona in Firiona Vie and give it to Merdan Fleetwood in Surefall Glades. The rose is not no drop, so if a druid/ranger happens to have one of them, you could buy or be given it. When you give the rose to Merdan you will receive back an Old Wooden Painting.

Take the old wooden painting the human skeleton in Frontier Mountains. He will show on tracking a A Human Skeleton. Give him the painting and he will crumble into pieces (this is ok!) and you'll have a silver chained locket in your inventory.

Return to Surefall Glade and give the locket to Niera Farbreeze. When you give her the locket she will hand you the platinum speckled powder.

Next you need to find the enchanted clay. Go to Kaladim and find Kinlo Strongarm in Kaladim's EverHot Forge. Once you find Kinlo ask him & quot;what mud & quot; and & quot; do it for me & quot; Kinlo will tell you that he would like to have a colored axe for his service. He wants a Jade Reaver that can be looted off the Black Reavers in the City of Mist.

Be forewarned the Black Reavers are a serious mob to deal with. They are approximately level 50-52. One will spawn, and when you kill him either he will drop or another will spawn immediately in his place. This can happen up to seven times! Make sure to bring a nice solid party with you for this mob. Most of them are behind a locked door so you should bring a Rogue with lockpicking along just in case.

There is an upside here. The Jade Reaver can be purchased from other players. So if you are unable to put together a group for City of Mist you do have that alternative.

Hand Kinlo the Jade Reaver and you will be handed the enchanted clay in return. Now that you have the clay, combine the pattern, clay and powder in any pottery wheel to make the Rune Crested Bowl.

The Stones

Go Back to Misty Thicket and hand Ella Foodcrafter the hardened mixture and the rune crested bowl. She will then make you a softly glowing stone. Ella now will tell you to find one such as yourself. She is referring to Foloal Stormforest in Firiona Vie.

You can find Foloal on the wall that circles the city of Firiona Vie at the north end. Ask her "are you one such as myself & quot; & quot; what answers? & quot; and & quot; what about Venril Sathir? & quot; She will tell you to bring her the stone you already have from Ella and the gem that can be found on Venril Sathir. (luckily she means the spawn of Venril Sathir?s remains not the true Venril Sathir!)

Venril Sathir is found in Karnor''s Castle, in the Dreadlands. Venril Sathir's remains will spawn twenty four hours (approximately) after Venril Sathir is killed.

When the remains spawn, go into Karnor's Castle and hail him. First he wants a Globe of Fireflies. This is a level five spell for those that forgot they even had the spell.

This spell can only be cast at night. You might want to go ahead and make yourself a globe ahead of time, so you aren't having to wait at the spawn for night to fall.

Hand him the globe and a new Venril Sathir will spawn. Give the new Venril Sathir the level 49 Cleric spell Resurrection (this spell is purchased at any of the Cleric guilds). When you hand the remains the spell he will now attack you. Kill the remains and loot one of the Pulsing Green Stones (he drops two). This is where you can make a druid/ranger friend. Rangers also need this stone for their epic. So you can normally have others help you knowing that two people will benefit.

Give Ella the warmly glowing stone and you will receive the Elaborate Scimitar (10/30 +9 wis, +10 mana, +5 sv poison and disease

Take the Softly Glowing Stone and Pulsing Green Stone back to Foloal Stormforest. She will give you a warmly glowing stone. Foloal will now tell you to take the stone and walk your path. The path she is referring to leads back to Ella Foodcrafter in Misty Thicket.

She will then ask you to collect the Cleansed Spirits of Antonica, Faydwer and Kunark and hand them along with the scimitar to Xanuusus.

The Cleansed Spirit of Antonica

Go to North Karana and find the Withered Treant. It is at the far north end of NK, at the base of a mountain wall.

 Hail the Withered Treant and ask him & quot; What Sickness & quot; and he will respond that he wants you to cleanse Antonica of its sickness.

All three mobs start out as a tainted mob first. When you kill a tainted mob you have a chance for the corrupted mob to spawn. The corrupted will spawn right on top of the tainted corpse.

The Tainted/Corrupted Mammoth. He is approximately level twenty and spawns in Everfrost Peaks. Mammoth Calves are his place holder. If he isn't up kill Mammoth Calves to make him spawn. Kill the Corrupted Mammoth and loot a Chunk of Tundra.

The Tainted/Corrupted Aqua goblin Shaman. The Aqua goblin is found in an underwater tower in Lake Rathe (loc of the tunnel is 2831, -912, -221 and is underwater). You should keep enduring breath on yourself and also be in wolf form (less agro problems).

It is easiest to snare the mob and run back up to the island (above water) to fight. You can hide behind trees to keep his arrows from interrupting your casts. Only bother to kill the goblins at the top of the tower. If the Corrupted is not up keep pulling/killing the goblins in the tower and eventually the tainted will spawn.

Don't bother Deep! She is a major nasty and will spoil your day. Use harmony to single pull and you will be fine. Kill the Corrupted and loot a Clean Lakewater. The Clean Lakewater looks like a globe of water.

The Tainted/Corrupted Hill Giant in Rathe Mountains. You want to hunt in the hill giant area near the hill with the Guard Tower, where Cyclops can also be found. As with all the others, kill hill giants until the Tainted spawns. Kill the Tainted to spawn the Corrupted Hill giant. Kill Corrupted and loot an Ancient Rock from it.

Give the three items to the Withered Treant in North Karana and receive the Treant Heart.

Now go to Yeka Ias in South Karana. He is normally found to the east of the bridge and along the water. Give him the heart, and he will give you back the Cleansed Spirit of Antonica.

The Cleansed Spirit of Faydwer

Now travel to Lesser Faydark and find the Pained Unicorn. Ask him & quot; What Corrupt & quot; and he will ask you to collect items from the Corrupted Seahorse, the Corrupted Cyclops, and the Corrupted Brownie.

The Corrupted Seahorse is located in Kedge Keep. The Corrupted Seahorse is a challenge. He is approximately level fifty two, hits for 150ish and is also a Cleric (yep, he can complete heal).

Bring lots of extra fish scales for Enduring Breath and some strong parties. And Enchanter or Bard is almost a necessity here due to adds. Bring strong tanks, and healers also!

He will normally spawn near Estrella. When you kill the Corrupted Seahorse loot the Kedge Keep Crystals.

The Corrupted Seafury Cyclops is next. The Corrupted Seafury Cyclops spawns on an island west of Sister Island in the Ocean of Tears.

Take the boat from Freeport to Butcherblock Mountains. Get off on Sister Island, and head west.

The first island is the one with a mage spell vendor in a tower. The next island to the west is Sea Fury island. There's around a half dozen Sea Furies, which are Cyclops.

You can pull them to the shore or other island until a Tainted spawns. Be careful some of these mobs do summon.

Kill the Corrupted Seafury Cyclops and loot the Ocean of Tears Seavines.

The Corrupted Brownie is in Lesser Faydark. He is a druid so be prepared for a serious fight.

His placeholders are the Brownie Scouts. Use wolf form to reduce your agro with the Brownies. You can find these scouts at loc 0,0. Like the others, kill until tainted/corrupted spawns and then loot the Green Heartwood Branch.

Now head back to the Pained Unicorn. Give the Pained Unicorn the crystals, the seavines and the branch and he will give you a Gleaming Unicorn Horn.

Hand the Gleaming Unicorn Horn to the gnome Silox Azrix in Ak'Anon to get the Cleansed Spirit of Faydwer. He is near the mines at the far north of the zone, on the left side of the green river. If your faction is bad with Gnomes, you still should be ok going in invisible.

The Cleansed Spirit of Kunark

Find Ulump Pujik in Swamp of No Hope. He can be located near the froglok village at location Neg 100 Neg 1770.

He is a level fifty five warrior with almost 100% Magic Resistance.

Lull will still land but very little else will. Two good groups can do this very easy. This mob takes a very tank heavy group to kill. Make sure you load up with clerics and tanks. Casters won't be of much use here (including yourself). He double attacks for 250DMG and has 30k Hitpoints so it will take a bit to kill him.

He has also been known to run at 30 % health.

Kill him and loot Froglok Essence.

Now its time for more corrupted mobs! The three corrupted mobs of Kunark are the Corrupted Gorilla, Corrupted Barracuda, and the Dragon Faydedar.

The Corrupted Gorilla can be found in the Emerald Jungle. Place holders for the Corrupted Gorilla are the Tottering Gorillas. Keep killing Tottering Gorillas until the Corrupted spawns and then kill Corrupted. The Corrupted drops the Green Tree Bark.

The Corrupted Barracuda is found in the main lake of Lake of Ill Omen. You can normally find the barracuda spawns at neg950 neg900.

Kill the Deepwater Barracuda, until the Tainted spawns.

Be warned this mob can take a LONG time to spawn. An easy way to see if the tainted will spawn the corrupted is to pull the tainted barracudas onto the land. If they follow the Corrupted probably spawn after.

Be warned the barracudas are not an easy kill! You should probably have backup help for this mob. Once you kill the Corrupted Barracuda loot the Pure Lakewater.

The last mob is Faydedar. This is not an easy dragon. He however is spawn able.

Take the boat from the Oasis dock to Timorous Deep. Egress/Succor to the Chessboard. Now is a great time to have a high level mage friend. If you have such, he can go to the Oasis where Faydedar spawns and Call of the Hero you all over. If you don't have such you need to swim or levitate/run to neg 11300, neg 3500. This is a wall in the water. Swim down underwater and you will see an entrance to the Oasis.

Once inside you have to find the second entrance through the second ring.   The second entrance is on the north side of the inside ring.

   For tactics on Faydedar look the links for Faydedar specific guides on the main Epic Page. They are very good and have a lot of information. I will put   the basics here.

   As with many dragons Faydedar dispels. So load up everyone with junk buffs   (resist poison, resist disease, see invisible etc. You will want resist fire,   so don't use that yet). Once everyone is buffed up then cast the beneficial buffs like Skin like Nature, and Resist Fire. You will want your Fire and   Magic resists as high as possible! Bring some bards along they are great help   here.

   Now remove your SoW and turn run off (Faydedar can also fear). The most important thing for people to realize here, and I can't emphasize this enough. DO NOT SIT DOWN. EVER. If you sit while the fight is going on, you   guarantee agro from Faydedar.

   To spawn Faydedar go to Dolgin Codslayer. Give him the Froglock Essence you looted from Ulump.

Dolgin will give it back to you and then despawn. Be ready for Faydedar next. Don't laugh at him (he's tiny) but has all the power of a full size dragon!

Once you have killed Faydedar loot the Pod of Seawater

Now travel to the Overthere. Hand the Froglok Essence, the Green Tree Bark, the Pure Lakewater and the Pod of Seawater to Nekexin Virulence in Overthere. When you hand him the four items he will despawn and you will have the Cleansed Spirit of Kunark.

He is by the water at the far north end of the zone, to the east of the evil outpost.

Be very careful here. The guards of Overthere are nasty with a fairly large agro range. Easiest way to avoid them is to either come along the zone from the Frontier Mountains/Overthere zone and keep going along the east side of the zone. Or take the Bloated Belly (the evil boat to Overthere that leaves from Oasis docks) and as soon as it zones into the Overthere jump off and swim to shore tracking Nekexin.

The End

You've done it! You have finished all but one task to obtain your epic! Now go back to North Karana, find Xanusus the Treant and hand him the three Cleansed Spirits and the Elaborate Scimitar. Once you hand him these items you will be given in return the Nature Walker's Scimitar!
