I again claim no credit for anything I post here, it's just a couple links as most of us know to the items with screenshots you need for Ezserver's fighter's and caster's guide quest. Hope it helps!

One Correction.

Both lists for the FG and CG show Trakanon Idol as a drop from Trakanon.

Rather it is a quest in Trakanon's Teeth.  You find and kill the Froglok Hunter and Froglok Forager for their medallions (the do not drop them every time).  You then turn in both medallions to the emporer and he gives you the idol.  This is the same quest that, on live, grants you access to Old Sebilis.

it don't say drop from trakanon (dragon).

it's saying the zone name that you have to give to NPC non-custom zone teleporter. Also once you click on the link "17. Trakanon's idol - Trakanon" you have the 2 screenshot that explain you you have to kill forager and hunter and you got location, and the log of emporer where you have to give the both medallions.

But you right, better to advice about this possible mistake.

What is missing on this list is who drops all this stuff and the zone they are in. Without that this list is useless.

Look at link in first post and you will get your answer.

Links, learn to click them. =D

I was referring to Uxt's list. It would be a great list for a quick lookup since it has the timers but its incomplete.

And we're talking about the links I have recopied, they also go right to these forums, and they load quick. Just click them. Everything else is provided. AND the links come complete with screenshots of where they are in the zone. So knowing timers, where they spawn, names, ph's, you're set. No need to combine, imo. It's still a very quick lookup.

the video is also easier to watch than the guides are to read.  so for the super lazy - please click on the video.  I'm sure Hazard wouldn't mind if you used his guide.

so king chest card is only in LDON 5?

yes !

Kings Chest cards can actually drop from LDON2-5, but they are very very rare before level 5.

I have gotten 2 myself in LDON3 over many hours of farming.

how hard on 5?
Very rare drop still? or drops from trash?

Wish I knew all the details also.  I haven't spent much time.

The 2 Kings Chest I got were off trash in LDON3 though.  I assume any trash can drop.  Do the bosses drop them also? 

ldon 5 bosses drop them

I'd say this, but this isn't completely true. While they do tend to drop them more (I'd say about 30-50% per kill) it's not a sure thing. Just thought I'd throw that in there, but they are generally the best idea to farm. When I need cards, I generally just double-camp the bosses for cards and let anyone else in the zone have all the loot/pages. I find it's better then trash clearing, but one time I was lucky with trash and got 3 within twenty minutes, but that was a one-shot thing.

I never had much of a problem getting them killing trash. but i also have no real concept of time while playing EQ either... hmm...

last 4 alts i have lvl'd took me 15-30 mins max to get all my cards per char.  Mass pull trash between boss kills and they drop very quickly

pretty much my strategy as well heh.

Quick question bout CG pet... finally got my CG flag on mage... Why isnt my pet criting like i see often from others? I mean pet seems awwesome dueling those nice swords.. but dont see much difference it seems on attack damage or crit like i had before with 68 pet...

Any input? Am i missing something? Is there a difference between the shroom pet or the other one?

What pet are you using?
You DO know mage 2.5/3.0 is a pet and the ranking goes 3.0>2.5>CG>shit spell pets right?

3.0 pet is the one that crits for close to 3k (4k with LDoN robe clicky popped)

got 1.5 epic so

There's your problem ;P lol

Working on it :)

It's no big deal, but just so you know. Both of the links say Casters guild at the top. I got confused when i was clicking back and forth. Then i saw that the items were different and figured it out heh. Thx Thx for the lists though it really helped out.

And thx for the tip about the FV and Steamfont guys dropping robes.

Odd how both links take you to a page where "Caster Guild Quest" is on the top.

Is the FG Quest link accurate?

It is indeed.

Have followed it with no problems.

I am pretty sure it was just a typo.

The FG quest link is accurate. It's just a typo on the top of the page.  I used the list to do my FG last week, worked fine.

Just keep track of which you click on.

Helped a guildmate pick up a few king cards in Ldon 5 last night. The drop rate seems to me to be 1% off trash mobs (which is how we got all the cards). Boss mobs is more like 1 in 5, so 20% drop rate.

If you can kill with any efficiency here, trash mobs are the faster way to get the cards and plus you have a chance of getting a sorcer charm upgrade for your warrior (or wizard/mage/whatever if you like).


...


oh yeah  *bump*

this thread needs a sticky imo :)

bump

I personally found it easiest to just farm LDON credits and buy kings chest cards.  Too each his own of course.

It also helps if you are boxing and have your own mini army, obviously.

What level does a rogue need to be to open the door in Seb?

lvl 1 with 100 picklock?

it's capped so no.  I tried it at level 13 or something, (65) lockpick, didn't work.  came back at lvl 25 or something I forget, but I'm guessing it's around level 18-20 where you can get lockpick 100.

SCHW seems to be a fairly sizable bottleneck now for FG quest. Maybe in a few days it will settle back down, but Velks is insane right now.

Oh, yeah, and <bump>

What is wrong with schw now? 4 days ago i was farming in there and there were at least 40 of them lying on corpses all over?

JDFriend, check out this thread.

love the music on this vid, any one know who plays it?

Terrific guide. Used it to get my FG (along with the aid of my RL buddy for the harder-to-get pieces).

If I may suggest though:

If you can get into a guild, you should instance LGuk for the 100k. There will be NOBODY else in the zone camping your pieces (unless you get a guildy who needs something =P) If you can get into a nice rotation for all the CG/FG drops in the zone, you really don't ever need to stop moving and killing, and if you do get multiple items, SELL THEM! This is a great way to pay back that 100k you invested in the instance, as well as saving up a lot of cash for the last few pieces you need if you're worn out from Guk. In the guild instance I used, I've had the Froglok King drop 2 Mithril 2hs in one kill. Luck? Maybe. Money? You know it! Just have some alts posted inside with you, and if anything lore drops, loot the multiples and port to Nexus, sell, and run back.

THAT, or you can make a few lvl 1 alts on your account, buy a portable banker on your toon in LGuk, loot the lore drop, throw it in shared, log onto low lvl alt, and throw it in their bank for later. Profit!

P.S. - I am not 100% sure that the portable banker method would work correctly. Can anyone verify this?

The portable banker method you mention would work just fine.  Of course the portable banker is 1 million plat.   ;)

Yes, but everyone should have one eventually =P

And I guess by the time you could afford one, you wouldn't need this guide anymore, and you could just buy a FG kit for 500-800k.

I'm thinkin' if you got bored farming your T2/T3 I guess =P haha. Guess you're right though. This doesn't seem like a very viable method of farming =/


But GI LGuk is still a grand idea. Some items are not lore, so farm the crap out of 'em and just spew links in /auction when you finish and port back to Nexus.

Great guide! Just one correction: Lady Vox does not always drop the staff. Killed her tonight and no staff drops - maybe this changed recently? Just thought I'd give the heads up!

Yes, that change is within the last few months.  There have been other changes as well.  Naggy doesn't always drop the tooth (used to drop 2 - 4/kill).  Silver Chitin Hand Wraps are a much less common drop now than when this guide was written.  Some stuff was made to drop more often, others less to balance out the quest and reduce bottlenecks at a handful of mobs.

That's quite the understatement. He hardly ever drops the tooth now.. dozen kills got a million selo's drums but not a single tooth.

Took four kills. Dropped two teeth

First I want to say thanks for the guide. This helped me out a lot, being brand new to the server.

Seems Vox only drops 1 staff now, as well as was dropped to a 30 min spawn. Brushed through the posts and doesn't seem like anyone mentioned this.

I had 2 staffs drop off vox today.. took 3 kills to get any though

Hi there,

To enter FG guild, I need to get to mob 'Herbinger Freglor' in Sebilis to get the knuckle dusters.  Problem is that the door is locked.   Where should I get a key ?  I read something about a "PICKLOCK 100" ??!!  Something I can buy or get ?

Any help is welcome  ;D

Kind regards,
Alrazor (Beastlord lvl 70)

ask bard or rogue to open it for you

Hi there,

QUESTION FOR CASTER'S GUILD : zone NAJENA where I have to get the 'Flowing Black Robe' of NPC Najena.  To access this room I have to get the GOLDEN CRESCENT KEY of the NPC Drezna.  Problem is she never spawns in room N°5. 

Anyone some tips.  I use now BST.

Bye,
Alrazor

Drezna has a placeholder, she doesn't spawn everytime. (you can just use a rogue or bard to pick najena door)
You can try getting the robe from Vekis in Firiona Vie

Hi Funkinmofo,

Thanks for the info  ;D

See you,
Alrazor

I'd recommend Vekis, much easier camp than Najena.

Hi there,

I've tried VEKIS twice, no loot...
I've tried my bard (lvl 28) in Najena,  lockpicking gloves is not working, I have to put them in my invetoryslot, is that right or not ?

So, danmed door is still closed  >:( >:( >:(

Bye,
Alrazor

You need to have the lock pick on your cursor so you can unlock doors

Yes, I tried that way, but still saying 'this lock cannot be picked ' !!

Alrazor

I don't know if that particular door can be picked or not, but you wear the gloves for the bonus and put the lockpicks on your cursor and then click the door.  If you don't have enough skill go to befallen and practice on that door to raise it.

Alrazor, you can target Najena through the door with /tar Naj.

Send your pet then dismiss it after it engages, then she will come after you through the door.

Wow, thats a very nice tip  :D
Thanks Temuli I will try

Bye,
Alrazor

I was under the impression that targetting mobs behind walls/doors (out of the line of sight) and attacking with pets was not allowed.

Hi funkinmofo,

I managed to get in the room to finally meet Najena  ;D
My chaotic jester turned me in another toon and with the sit and stand-move I got in.


Bye,
Alrazor

I'd rather camp the guy in FV for the robe than deal with Najena.  That zone sux.

Hi guys,

Since our last conversation, I've managed to get to the Fightersguild and got my ring (I'm a BST).  I've read already that getting a FG-flag is needed to get an epic 3.0.  But, I wonder what's the point of getting FG ?  When I wear that ring, I would expect a better HP, mana etc...  but now, nothing changed.  I can only zone to another area where I find the same NPC's as in Nexus ?!?  Perhaps the buff-NPC gives better buffs than in Nexus ?  I really don't have a clue  ???   If this is it, my opnion is that getting FG or CG is boring and a waste of time, but I can't imagine that Hunter put this so simply.

Can someone clear this out or referring to any guide on this forum ?

Thanks,
bye,
Alrazor

The ring is just a way to port in, the real benefit is the trainer NPC (guild melee trainer or something) that maximise all your melee/combat skills (needed for all melee chars), and the hitpoints food + resurrect clicky you can buy from guild vendor.

For casters guild the benefit is the CG ring with pet clicky, mana regen food, manastone from vendor, and maxed casting skills at trainer. Also with CG you can hail your pet to equip fireswords which are needed for all pet classes.

And of course, for both guilds, you get access to the hushed bankquet zone for your epic 2.5 books and buffs by hailing your pet.

Hi Appren,

Thanks for your reply.

Some other thoughts :
Now I got for BST the FG.  I have also a MAG, CLR, PAL & WAR.  What guild do you suggest for my 4 other chars ?

What do you mean with food+resurrect clicky from guild vendor ?  Something I can buy to put in my inventory and raise my HP ?

What do you mean to hail my pet and give 'fireswords'.  Till now I gave my BST-pet and MAG-pet the palladin-epic1.0-sword (I think called FIERY DEFENDER or someting)  It's the only sword these pets will take.  Withe firesword, do you mean this Fierly Defender ?

What do you mean with that hused banquet zone ?  In the FG-zone I saw at the end an area under water....  Perhaps I don't see it yet, because I do not have my epic 2.0 yet (playing now in LDON and have apparently still a lot to learn and discover)

Some feedback would be great  ;D

Bye,
Alrazor

MAG = CG only
CLR = CG first, also FG when you get to epic 3.5+ level and start actually meleeing
PAL = FG - personally I'd only consider CG if I started ROA'ing the char, to get casting skills back up fast.
WAR = only FG, obviously

Alrazor,
Now that you are flagged, if you hail your pet he will give you an option to give you buffs and also to summon fireswords for him which will give him some nice stats. It is not the same as the paladin epic. The hushed banquet is accessed by hailing the epic vendor.

To Zeebos and Appren : THANKS FOR THE INFO GUYS :D
Can't wait to try it out... oh boy, this game is really addictive  ;D

Bye,
Alrazor

Hi Zeebos,

Another remarks.  I've managed now to hail my pet, and indeed I can click on the buffs.  On the other hand I have not the possibility to summon the fireblades  :-\ 

Any ideas why this is not working.  Do I missing something here ?

Kind regards,
Alrazor

I'm pretty sure you need to be in the caster's guild for the weapons.

Hi Ierxst2112,

Ok, thanks for the info. Now I understand.

Bye,
Alrazor

Hi,

Since yesterday, the pictures of the CG & FG are missing !
Can someone restore this ?

Thanks,
Alrazor

What pictures are you talking about?

Here fixxed..

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_58UsD-AcOuk/SsTuG8OCIlI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/zeRDft6QyFk/s400/crazy-pumpkins-crazy-kid.jpg)

Hi Xiggie,

I'm talking about the pictures/printscreens where the different mobs spawns which drops the FG/CG-items.  These pictures are linked into the documentation which can be found on the first page of this forum.

Kind regards,
Alrazor

Oh, I see,  links are re-established

Thanks Xiggie  ;D

Alrazor

Haven't you been working on FG/CG for about 4 months now?

I'm sure Alrazor is having a blast at this game, He moves at live pace but seems entertained which is good.

Hi Whompz,

Actually, I'm dealing with the Ldon-zones.  Apperently Ldon 6 is a hard one, so I decided to get the FG/CG-flag for some of my chars and getting my cards in Ldon 2-5 for all my chars.  After that I will give Ldon 6 another try...

Tips are always welcome  ;D

Alrazor

UHM.

Is LDoN solo-able with a new Paly, lvl 70? I really don't have "much" help yet here and pretty much try to do stuff myself.

Just need a few items left for my FG - the guy in seb behind the locked door and LDoN cards x4.

Before you hit LDoN, you should be going to PoTime to do your 1.5 epic.  Make sure you have all the gear you can get from BoT, and a Pally should be able to start killing trash in PoTime to get gear there.  You should look for a group, or some help to work on PoTime bosses, and either Quillmane or Terrorantula for the book.

B

Thanks for that info - I can't get into BoThunder for some reason. It appears I have the files but the teleporter won't send me there. I'm working on getting a replacement version of them.

------EDIT-------

All resolved! Also, LDoN is solo-able as a Paly - just gotta be a little skillful on the bosses. I managed to get some great help from friends to start my way through and with some decent upgrades in LDoN and 2.0 - soloing in there is very doable.

bumping because this ought to be on first page

3 nagafens and no red dragon tooth for me...also....ghoul executioner in lguk only popped once in like 5-6 hours....wow
