On the bottom floor of the North Freeport mage tower, kill 2 NPCs: Talon P'Radim and Nik U'ronu ( 22, -37, -124 ) Copy/waypoint 22, -37, -124 to get a chest drop containing a hiring contract. Talon can be approached and once aggroed, Nik joins in the attack. One is 82^ the other is 82v. They seem to be a serious over-con. There is roughly a 5 minute respawn.
Examine the contract
Dark Light Wood
Go to the Darklight Woods and speak to Marla K'Stane ( -410, -62, 208 ) Copy/waypoint -410, -62, 208 inside the Gilded Scroll building in Hate's Envy. After a quick conversation, she will attack and you must kill her (she is an incredibly over-conned 85^ who gives AA exp), which will update your quest.
Head over to West Freeport to the Freeport Militia HQ. The misplaced file ( 156, 1, 134 ) Copy/waypoint 156, .6, 134 is next to Viscount Gelvonius on the top level, hanging on the edge of the table (5 minute respawn).
Read the Mage's Divining Scroll in your inventory. It sets forth the following tasks which can be done in any order:
I must gather 30 unmarred bones from powerful sentient beings! (Any sentients being 80+)
The following steps can be done at the same time as this one. See the Discussion page for more locations with mobs to update this step.
I need the skull of a Teir'Dal Champion
( -714, 29, -71 ) Copy/waypoint -714, 29, -71 Clickable skull next to 4 Walk of the Dead in Neriak, City of Hate, on the left side of the building, next to the cave wall. A Relic Protector will spawn as you walk near it.
The mobs are 83^ Relic Protectors that will automatically spawn and attack you along the main walkways of the city on your way to the skull (although they don't have to be spawned in that order).The guards can assist you in killing the mobs, and you still get credit. If you die while fighting a protector, he might not respawn, so camp or zone out. Known locations:
( 23, 13, 68 ) Copy/waypoint 23, 13, 68 (2 spawn close to this point)
( -98, 8, 297 ) Copy/waypoint -98, 8, 297
( -240, 26, 247 ) Copy/waypoint -240, 26, 247
( -354, 26, 198 ) Copy/waypoint -354, 26, 198
( -437, 27, 218 ) Copy/waypoint -437, 27, 218
( -518, 23, 213 ) Copy/waypoint -518, 23, 213
( -619, 27, 48 ) Copy/waypoint -619, 27, 48
( -640, 27, -33 ) Copy/waypoint -640, 27, -33
( -688, 27, -68 ) Copy/waypoint -688, 27, -68 (next to the skull)
I need the skull of a Feir'Dal Champion!
Graveyard in New Tunaria, last tombstone on the right. ( -474, 68, -140 ) Copy/waypoint -474, 68, -140
The mobs are 83^ Relic Guardians that will automatically attack you as you walk around the zone. Note that the Relic Guardians are on a re-spawn timer. They will spawn at the same loc more than once. Known locations are:
( -276, 64, -414 ) Copy/waypoint -276, 64, -414 (at the bottom of the double grass walkways leading down towards the New Tunaria Castle)
( -395, 70, -127 ) Copy/waypoint -395, 70, -127
( -469, 69, -139 ) Copy/waypoint -469, 69, -139 (right next to the skull)
Neriak
Head to Neriak, City of Hate, go to a tomb in the water next to the first bridge ( -154, -5, 129 ) Copy/waypoint -154, -5, 129.(Use a Totem of the Otter to breathe underwater.)
Will get an automatic update as you reach the tomb.
Harvest a Pile of Bones (These can be found immediately next to the SW side ground of the tomb.)
Note: It used to be that 'You can FD flop to him and talk to him while you are FD.' but they now have mobs in the room that will generally kill you before you can FD or that see through your FD.' If you target Lharc then walk around the building (you may have to clear one or two mobs) you can hail (H) and receive updates. NOTE I did run in and FD and it worked
Return to the City of Mist. After hailing Lharnc and a short conversation, he will aggro (85^^^). Be prepared for a rather long fight (he hits hard and has 380k health). Note that Lharnc also uses a charm and target-change ability that causes the tank along with Lharnc to attack another party member. If the party wipes, Lharnc remains attackable and can be pulled from the building without pulling anything else.
Lharnc the Envious will drop a single wooden chest with the Talisman of Envy, a lore, no-trade item. Only one Shadowknight can get this no-trade item at a time. See notes below.
They can be found at the last named tentacle's platform ( -419, 30, -33 ) Copy/waypoint -419, 30, -33.
They are a grouped 85^^^ proximity spawn when you step on the platform. You do not have to kill the last worm/tentacle mob to get them to spawn, but you do need to deactivate his platform's force field to get to the prox spawn area by killing the 4 worms of the adjacent pools.
Mydraa is a mage; she can be mezzed and stunned. If you do not have a mezzer, concentrate on killing her first, because she casts silence/stun. If soloing, best to have Harm's Touch ready to knock down her HP as quickly as possible. Talik appears to be pure melee.
He can be found between two pyramids ( 1831, 480, -1006 ) Copy/waypoint 1831, 480, -1006. He is a 85^^^ proximity spawn, be prepared. He has 407k health and becomes hard to knock down after he is at 20% health.
After you have killed the 3 Crimson Teir mobs, you need to return to Atira X'aphon. She will offer you the next step.
The Shiny Brass Halberd is reward of the Dragoon K'Naae of the Thexians heritage quest, if you really want the Shiny Brass Halberd back you can purchase it from a merchant on the Nektulos Forest docks later, or even before hand. *Note for stupid people like me: If the Halberd is in house-item form, K'Naae won't update the quest.
Once everyone has ported up, speak with Dorvias N'Keth who will then turn into a 85^^^. He will spawn immediately by himself. But, occasionally he will spawn a trio of level 85 Minions of Hate to aid him.
Emblem is a chest drop, lore item, so if more than Shadowknight in the group you must kill one time for each Shadow Knight.
The Blood Ember Shoulders, ( 289, 17, 317 ) Copy/waypoint 289, 17, 317 (inside Skeletal Master tower)
The Blood Ember Gauntlets, ( 306, 78, 97 ) Copy/waypoint 306, 78, 97 (top of the shiverback pyramid)
The Blood Ember Bracer, ( -83, 44, 33 ) Copy/waypoint -83, 44, 33 (Dracoliche area)
The Darkforge Greaves, ( 243, 7, -249 ) Copy/waypoint 243, 7, -249 (behind Skeletal Lord tower)
The Darkforge Breastplate, ( -7, 52, -476 ) Copy/waypoint -7, 52, -476 (one on top of Terror's pyramid) (Must do the quest With a Heart of Fear from Gimblelock's short questline (up to the point where you place the Hearts of Fear, you don't need to spawn the Epic) starting at zone in)
The Blood Lord's Boots, obtained from Charasis: Maiden's Chamber at ( 7, 5, 172 ) Copy/waypoint 7, 5, 172 (Drusella Sathir's room. NOTE: You can edge around the room, go right from the entrance, and loot this without pulling Drusella.)
The Umbral Helm, obtained from Charasis: Vault of Eternal Sleep at ( 41, -3, -125 ) Copy/waypoint 41, -3, -125 (In the very last room.)
Go to the Darklight Palace in Neriak, City of Hate. Once there, head up to the very top floor and you should see a bed. Look under it and you'll see a box under the bed which will give you an update. ( -579, 87, -192 ) Copy/waypoint -579, 87, -192
