Good Tank
1) Speak with the Assistant Recruiter in Klick'Anon, then speak with the Recruiter.

2) You are sent to Palidan Talimas in Thedruk (NE). You can find him N/E across the river from The Druk tunnell, at the bottom of a hill beside a tree.
Alternate instructions from Shorte: to find Palidan Talimas, I head East from Teth to the river, as soon as I cross the bridge I follow the river south. Talimus on the other side of the 3rd hill you come to.

Talimas requires 2 crystals off Takesir Miners, located in The Great Waste (W). This part of the quest cannot be solo'ed easily, as they are level 60, varying from melees to casters.

3) The Coldwind Guard of Halas has asked for assistance: Goblin invasion armies are currently attacking the Treants in Guardian Forest (W) and (NW). They must be stopped before the Treants are defeated, as Halas will be their next target. You need to slay the goblins to protect both the Treants and the Coldwind Guard of Halas. Loot two Enchanted Warbeads from Goblin Soothsayers and Assassins.

4) Return to Palidan Talimas with the beads. You are sent deep into Guk, to speak with the Froglok Herbalist. The herbalist is at the bottom, past two bridges, just to the right of the latter one. See Map.

He asks for 3 ingredients:
Spotted tounge: Frogluk Channelers/Forgers.
Swamp water: Frogluk Channelers/Forgers.
Mycanoid spores: Fungal Cavaliers/Hunters.

Talking to the Herbalist with your ingredients will initiate an event in which you must protect the herbalist. Every five minutes 2 mobs will spawn - this will occur for 3 rounds. In other words, you will see the first 2 mobs every fifteen minutes. This will last for about an hour.

The order in which they spawn is: Two watchmen, two Guardsmen, and, finally, a Lookout and a Scout.
Their cons: Watchmen: dark blue, Guardsmen: white, Lookout/Socut: yellow/red respectively.

Eventually, Bouncers will spawn - they con red, and are very difficult. They are NOT to be under-estimated!

During the chaos, the herbman will give you a teleportation shard, and will later port you Guk (S), where a human spawns. Upon speaking to him, he will give you a potion.

NOTE: If the herbman dies while you are making potions, you will have to wait until someone else triggers the event. Since the popups have an Area of Effect, your quest will still be advanced, if you have the necessary items in your inventory.

Return to Paladin Talimas.

1) Speak with the recruiter in Klik'Anon.

2) Speak with Ruddish the devout - Spider Mines (S/SW border), on the river bank.

3) Retrieve two Summoner's Wands from Frogloks slayers - inqusitors in Burial Mounds (SW), near river.

4) Return to Ruddish (although before you run all the way out to ruddish, you may with to complete step 5 first. So get your Wands and Warbeads, then return to Ruddish. Saves you a trip. You do not need your quest logged to get these drops -Janlynn)

5) Retrieve two Enchanted Goblin Warbeads, in Guardian Forest (NW).

6) After collecting 2 warbeads from the goblins, you are sent to Lavastorm, to farm fire basilisks for three kinds of ores: smoldering bedrock, mesothermal platinum, and epithermal gold.

7) Once you find them, you are instructed to fuse the ores, by dropping them into a special lava location - Lavastorm (C), close to the edge, where the landscape dips slightly downward. You will receive a popup here, triggering named millapeeds. As you kill them, they eventually return to the lava as progressively harder ones spawn. Eventually, the Megametamilipizon spawns, dropping 4 NTL items. Cryptic Souls has killed the Megametamilipizon with as little as seven toons (SK, couple of necs, resist cleric, shammy).

Note: If you haven't started this quest yet, but are are lucky enough to be able to loot a drop from the Megametamilipizon , it is possible to only complete steps 1-5 of this quest. With the Megametamilipizon drop, you can return to your quest NPC and complete the quest without ever farming for the lava drops. The lava drops are only to spawn the Mega.

Good Melee
1) Talk to the Recruiter in Klick A'non

2) Goto Sensei Melinus. The Sensei can be found in Qeynos Prison (NE). He's standing on a very large hill next to a large rock.

3) Sensei sends you to Centaur Valley to obtain 2 Ghostly Goo. They drop off Wandering Gasts and Ghosts in Centaur Valley (E).

4) Return these to Sensei Melinus.

5) Retrieve two Enchanted Goblin Warbeads, in Guardian Forest (NW)..

6) Retrun these to Sensei Melinus.

7) Now head to Guk for 3 Pages of Pardon. The High Shaman is located inside Guk.


Page 1 and 2: Farm the Froglok Channelers/Forages in any of the OUTSIDE camps. Eventually the Elder Froglok Guk Mystic drops page 1, the Elder Froglok Guk Diviner drops page 2 (con red at 60).

Page 1 can also be had by killing the Froglok Channelers/Foragers right off the Circle bridge inside GUK dungeon. There are two rooms in there, kill and keep all mobs fresh. Farm the one mob on the far left side in the back room, over and over again. Eventually the Elder GUK Mystic will spawn. He cons red to a 60. - TY Janlynn/Hardway.

Page 2 can also be had by killing the Froglok Channelers/Forages inside Guk Dungeon and spawning the Elder Froglok Diviner. This is Verified!! Cons red to lvl 60.

Note: it is faster to farm pages 1 & 2 inside Guk rather than at the outside camps

MAP TO PLACEHOLDERS INSIDE GUK TO FARM PAGES 1 & 2

Page 3: Deep in guk dungeon there is "Fungal Cavalier's and Fungal Hunter's" After killing these for a while an "Elder Fungal ..." will spawn in place of one of the cavalier/hunters. The elder drops page 3. This is Verified!!

After turning these pieces in to the High Shaman, you must protect the prisoner (See Map). Bring a full group, maybe a few extra. This part lasts about an hour. You get 6 waves of Froglok Bloodletters, which all con red, have a 1k crit, and 500 dot. The waves get progressivly harder, more and more spawn. The most I've noticed I think was 5 or 6 on the last round. After killing them, you get a pop up which will tell you to hold out a little longer. Just wait a few more minutes and the High Shaman will spawn again. At this point you'll have to go back to your Sensei (ensure your quest log sais this), and your done!! 20 Mil XP is the Reward.

NOTE: If you fail protecting, just be around when another person is doing the protection part to further your quest.

Good Caster
1) Talk to the Recruiter in Klik'Anon

2) Talk to Maji'kot in Elemental Towers (W), along the shore line, close to a tower where the 55 Mage Spell Giver is located.

3) Get two Ghostly Goo's off powerful undead in Centaur Valley (E) - Wandering Spectres and Wandering Ghosts. North up the river, along the east side from Blackwater. You will eventually see the broken bridge with the undead mobs on both sides.

4) Return the goo to Magi'kot and he tells you next he'll need two enchanted war beads, which are from goblins in guardian forest (NW). When I first got there it was a roaming sea of light blue goblin assassin's and soothsayers. After a few minutes of killing them the camp spawned yellow/white versions of these around a fixture which in the middle has an Elder goblin spawn, which didn't drop anything different than the regular mobs. Farm these until you have two of the beads.

5) Upon return the beads to Magi'kot, you are sent on the final step of this first epic-sode - finding the heart and brain of Aktana the Flamekissed, and bringing back his soul. Lavastorm Mountains (E). You will need to farm Animated Lava. After you getting the heart, head North to a Gargoyle statue of Aktana. Place the heart into the statue and it will become an unconnable roamer. Run North around the mountain to find a group of Gargoyle Patrollers that have now spawned. Farm these patrollers until a Fire Imp Protector spawns, which will eventually drop the Brain. Return to the unconnable statue to spawn Aktana the Flamekissed, from a popup. Return to Magi'kot with Aktana's Soul to receive 20 million xp.

NOTE: IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE AKTANA LOOT FROM A PREVIOUS KILL
If you already have loot on flamekiss all that you need to do is farm up heart talk to garg, rh and turn in soul. This goes for the other classes that need and have the soul prelooted. You do not have to farm up the Imps again for the brain. (TY Monoxxide, Psychopathic Rydaz on CLW)

Evil Tank
1) Talk to the Recruiter in Freeport, Southwest of the coach, under the tent. He send you to Ozma Da Basher (although your quest log will show no quest).

2) Go to Ozma Da Basher, Oggok Gate (S) [five minute run directly west from Kerplunk]. When he says he can kill you without trying, believe him, he will deathtouch you if you don't.

3) Retrieve two Summoner's Wands from Frogloks slayers - inqusitors in Burial Mounds (SW), near river. Easy drop, you can acquire both in about an hour's worth of farming.

4) Return to Ozma Da Basher.

5) Kill Treants, in Guardian forest (SW), to retrieve two Enchanted Treant Branches. They are located both atop a hill with a stonehenge in the center; AND on the hill northeast of that one. This camp used to be very complicated to spawn, but since the Class Balancing update, they've fixed it.

NOTE: To stop the treants from occassionally desawning, kill the Treat Prisoner before he reaches the top of the n/e hill. Keep him fresh.

6) You are now sent to Lavastorm, to farm fire basilisks for three kinds of ores: smoldering bedrock, mesothermal platinum, and epithermal gold. See note below in number 7.

7) Once you find them, you are instructed to fuse the ores, by dropping them into a special lava location - Lavastorm (C), close to the edge, where the landscape dips slightly downward. You will receive a popup here, triggering named millapeeds. As you kill them, they eventually return to the lava as progressively harder ones spawn.

With the Megametamilipizon drop, you can return to your quest NPC and complete the quest without ever farming for the lava drops. The lava drops are only to spawn the Mega.

You receive 20 Mil XP after handing in the items.

1) Talk to the Recruiter in Freeport, Southwest of the coach, under the tent.

2) He sends you to Rashiroz the Rogue located in North Kithicor (C).

3) You are sent to The Great Waste to procure 2 Glowing Crystals. To do so, you will need to farm the Taksehir Miners - Great Waste (W).

4) Return the two Glowing Crystals to Rashiroz the Rogue.

5) Kill Treants, in Guardian forest (SW), to retrieve two Enchanted Treant Branches. They are located both atop a hill with a stonehenge in the center; AND on the hill northeast of that one.

STRATEGY: To get everything to spawn, you must let the Treant Prisoner, and the Goblin Prisoner LIVE, DO NOT KILL THEM. After the Treant Prisoner makes it to the stonehenge, light blue conned Treant Defenders and Diviner will start spawning in the nearby woods - you must kill these to get the higher level ones to spawn, which con White and Yellow. Those drop the BRANCHES that you need, even though your quest log requires Barks.

NOTE: If you let the Treant Prisoner make it to the first rise before the Stones, and you see the NPC chat in Say occur, you can kill the Treant Prisoner, and keep him fresh. Do not let the body disapear; also, you must NOT kill the Goblin Prisoner. This way, you should get spawns every 10 minutes or so.

NOTE 2: There is a semi-insta spawned Treant Diviner on the North side of the hill, with the stonehenge.

NOTE 3: There is an insta spawned Treant Diviner on the hill NE of the one with the stonehenge. Be sure to keep looting the insta after you kill it or it will stop insta'n. You must loot it before you kill the next one.

5) Upon returning the branches to Rashiroz the Rogue, you are sent on the final step of this first epic-sode - finding the heart and brain of Aktana the Flamekissed, and bringing back his soul. Lavastorm Mountains (E). You will need to farm Animated Lava. After you getting the heart, head North to a Gargoyle statue of Aktana. Place the heart into the statue and it will become an unconnable roamer. Run North around the mountain to find a group of Gargoyle Patrollers that have now spawned. Farm these patrollers until a Fire Imp Protector spawns, which will eventually drop the Brain. Return to the unconnable statue to spawn Aktana the Flamekissed, from a popup. Return to Magi'kot with Aktana's Soul to receive 20 million xp.

NOTE: IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE AKTANA LOOT FROM A PREVIOUS KILL
If you already have loot on flamekiss all that you need to do is farm up heart talk to garg, rh and turn in soul. This goes for the other classes that need and have the soul prelooted. You do not have to farm up the Imps again for the brain. (TY Monoxxide, Psychopathic Rydaz on CLW)

6) You are asked to visit the herbalist in the Guk. THe herbalist is at the bottom, past two bridges, just to the right of the latter one. He asks for 3 ingredients:

Spotted tounge: Frogluk Channelers/Forgers.

Congealed Swamp water: Frogluk Channelers/Forgers.

Mycanoid spores: Fungal Cavaliers/Hunters.
