Level 30, 40, 49 (Path Quests) > Group 1 Good

πŸ›‘οΈ Quest Name: Group 1, Level 30

NPC: varies, see below
Location: Forkwatch


πŸ“‹ Requirements

Attaining level 30 and completion of your Level 20 path quest.

Your level 20 path questgiver advises you to seek a new trainer in Forkwatch to log your level 30 path quest:

  • Thumgrim Stoutshield (in bar opposite coach), or
  • Erilous Skypyre (2nd floor, NE corner), or
  • Elowyn Dawnspring (2nd floor).

Dwarf & Western Human Paladins: Speak to Sir Arik Lightfire in Forkwatch. From the coach, head into the big building on your right, go to the very top, and he is standing there with Captain Bordengahst.


After logging the quest, you are sent to Crikston Gundlefop in Highpass Hold. To find him: coach to HP, enter the building opposite the coachman, second floor. Crikston wants three tablets: clay, stone, and bronze.

πŸ“ NOTE: If you talk to Crikston again, he will explain the three quests and how to start each. These are essentially three separate level 30 side quests.


🧭 EXPEDITION A

Runed Clay Tablet

Talk to Argot Bittersteel in Blakedown. From the DM coach, head out the west gate and follow the road south (it will curve west) to Blakedown. Argot is in the first building on your right as you enter town.

He asks you to:

  1. Retrieve loot in Al-Karad's Ruin, and
  2. Kill Savage Bear.

Finding Al-Karad's Ruin: From Argot, follow the road west. At the NW tower at the end of Blakedown, take the road north until it ends, then head due north until the road resumes. Follow it to the ruins.

Getting the loot: Enter the ruins, go down the ramp, and head straight to the back room. You will get a popup indicating you obtained the loot. You must kill all mobs encountered. Even with invis, you must kill the two mobs in the loot room. These mobs mostly CON DB/White@30 and have a large aggro range.

Savage Bear (Polar Bear): (CONs white cons white@30). The bear roams outside the ruins, usually behind them. Kill it, loot the Runed Clay Tablet, and return to Argot.

Rewards: 789,086 XP, Medallion of Fortitude, and quest progression.
Medallion of Fortitude: 15 STA, 20 HP, 5 AC, 20 DR, Lvl 30, All/All.


🧭 EXPEDITION B

Runed Stone Tablet

Talk to Two-Eyed Jack in Trail's End (S). From the HP coach, head out the west/south gate and follow the long, winding road to a small village. Jack is in one of the houses.

Jack sends you to find out what happened to Maximillian Scriber.

Return to the long road and head north-ish until you reach a cave on your right. Fight into the cave until the Silvermist Alpha spawns (triggered, CONs white cons white@30). Kill her and loot Maximillian's Journal and the Runed Stone Tablet. Return to Jack.

Rewards: 394,543 XP, Two-Eyed Jack's Belt, and quest progression.
Two-Eyed Jack's Belt: 10 AGI, 10 CHA, 35 POW, 22 AC, Lvl 30, All/All.


🧭 EXPEDITION C

Runed Bronze Tablet

Talk to Finnus Sodwin at the Black Swan Inn (second floor). From the DM coach, head out the west gate and follow the road south; the inn is on the right near a blacksmith area.

Finnus sends you to kill Skarr (CONs yellow cons yellow@30) in Blackburrow.

Finding Blackburrow: From the DM coach, head out the west gate and follow the road north to the Gnoll Fort. Bypass the fort to the east and continue until you see the tunnel entrance.

Finding Skarr: Enter the tunnel, take the first right and go upstairs (shaman here sees invis). Continue through tunnels where more mobs see invis, then go down a cliff and head right. Look for a hidden tunnel leading to a huge cavern. Make the first right, fight (this mob sees invis), move along the small cliff to the right, enter a narrow tunnel. Skarr spawns at the back of this small cavern.

Kill Skarr, loot the Bronze Headpiece and the Runed Bronze Tablet, and return to Finnus.

Rewards: 1,084,993 XP and 3,000 tunar.

Talk to Crikston in Highpass. He needs three paraphet rods. Two are already en route, but you must retrieve the third from Twindle Fizzmop, located behind the blacksmith in Freeport.

Twindle will trade the rod only for the Sceptre of Tal'Thaz, found on Rauntet (CONs white cons white@40) in an undead valley of Al'Farak Ruins (C), west of the large Nashier camp. The valley is packed with awakened spirits; invis is recommended. Rauntet is a triggered spawn. Kill him, loot the scepter, return to Twindle, and pay 3,000 tunar (5,000 if you do not haggle).

πŸ“ NOTE: If you fail to kill the Assassin, speak with Crikston again to respawn it.

Crikston sends you to Shiol'Anara in Surefall Glade. She asks you to seek the great bear spirit Urisai, but first you must gather:

  • The Bow of Poacher McGee
  • The Wing of a Jade Drake
  • The Hide of a Tainted Wolf

Tainted Wolf: (CONs white cons white@40) spawns in Mariel Village (E). Farm until the hide drops.

Trapper McGee: (CONs yellow cons yellow@40) roams Surefall Glade, past and near the lake. Kill and loot his bow.
