- Step 1 – All items in Step 1

- Step 4 – 1000pp
- Step 6 – Loot Dusty Tome from a ratman guard
- Step 7 – Loot Blade of Abrogation from trash mobs in Plane of Sky
- Step 8 – Loot Ghoulbane from froglok shin lord in Upper Guk or Joren Nobleheart in Felwithe B.
- Step 9 – Loot Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood from Dread, Fight, Terror, or Cazic-Thule in PoFear

- Step 1 can take a long time as the drops are rare.
- You’ll first need to quest for 3 pieces of Darkforge Armor: Darkforge Helm, Darkforge Greaves, and Darkforge Breastplate. Each item requires multiple drops.
- Once you have the necessary drops, you’ll turn them into an undead knight NPC in Temple of Solusek Ro to receive the Armor.
- There are 2 undead knight NPCs in the same room, so make sure to hand in your items to the correct one (outlined below).
- The resulting Darkforge Armor items are tradable so you can potentially buy them from someone else. The drops are rare, so you’ll most likely have to do it yourself.
- Darkforge Helm:
- 1x Decayed Helm – a Tae Ew crusader and a Tae Ew Spiritualist in Feerrott; Rare Spawn and Drop
- 1x Decayed Visor – a Tae Ew crusader and a Tae Ew Spiritualist in Feerrott; Rare Spawn and Drop
- 2x Damaged Militia Helm – Drops from Guards in Freeport; Common Drop
- Turn into an undead knight in Temple of Solusek Ro (North skeleton)
- Darkforge Greaves:
- 1x Decayed Left Legplate – a Tae Ew crusader and a Tae Ew Spiritualist in Feerrott; Rare Spawn and Drop
- 1x Decayed Right Legplate – a Tae Ew crusader and a Tae Ew Spiritualist in Feerrott; Rare Spawn and Drop
- 2x Melatite – Drops from “CWG” gnomes in SolA; Uncommon Drop
- Turn into an undead knight in Temple of Solusek Ro (South skeleton)
- Darkforge Breastplate:
- 1x Decayed Breastplate – a Tae Ew crusader and a Tae Ew Spiritualist in Feerrott; Rare Spawn and Drop
- 1x Decayed Chainmail – a Tae Ew crusader and a Tae Ew Spiritualist in Feerrott; Rare Spawn and Drop
- 2x Enchanted Platinum Bar – Created by Enchanters
- Turn into an undead knight in Temple of Solusek Ro (North skeleton)
- Head to The Overthere and find Kurron Ni. He is in town and has a respawn of approximately 4 hours.
- Give him Darkforge Helm, Darkforge Greaves, Darkforge Breastplate, and 900pp.
- He will respawn. Kill him and loot the Letter to Duriek.
- You may need to say “what mission” to be able to attack him (unconfirmed).
- He will likely require a group in era and is highly resistant to spells.
- Find Duriek Bloodpool in Paineel; he is located in a small room overlooking the noob area.
- Give him the Letter to Duriek to receive faction (+3 Truespirit).
- Go to Neriak A (Foreign Quarter).
- Give 1000pp to Smaka to receive Cough Elixir.
- Note: For additional faction, you may be able to do Step 4 and Step 5 twice to skip Step 6, but this has not been personally tested.
- Go back to Paineel and give the Cough Elixir to Duriek Bloodpool to receive +3 Truespirit faction.
- Head to The Hole and kill a ratman guard.
- Loot the Dusty Tome. (Always drops.)
- There are two PH’s depending on which version of The Hole your server is on:
- 1.0 Hole (Pre-LDoN): The PH is a ratman warrior. Spawns in the jail area (+365, -90). You may need a group to kill a ratman guard in early eras. Additional spawns may occur (tracker recommended).
- 2.0 Hole (LDoN+): The PH is a ratman inhabitant. There are 5 PH rats roaming in the highlighted circle in the city and tower area. A tracker is recommended.
- Note: While here you can also do Step 14 (loot Cell Key from a chest).
- Once you have the Dusty Tome, give it to Duriek Bloodpool in Paineel for faction (+3 Truespirit).
- Go to Plane of Sky.
- Kill mobs (on any island) until you get a Blade of Abrogation. (Rare drop)
- Obtain a Ghoulbane from either of the following sources:
- Froglok shin lord in Upper Guk (rare spawn and drop; roughly level 30)
- Joren Nobleheart in Felwithe B (located through the center teleport pad in the back room; level 60; harder fight – hits 200+ with estimated 30K HP, but drops the sword every time)
- Go to Plane of Fear.
- Kill either Dread, Fright, Terror, or Cazic-Thule.
- Loot Soul Leech and Dark Sword of Blood. (Uncommon drop)
- Note: It may only drop off Cazic-Thule prior to the Velious revamp of Plane of Fear.
- Quest for Decrepit Sheath:
- Kill Rharzar in Rathe Mountains; loot Drake Spine. (Always drops; PH are drakes; Level 55; casts ~500 DD’s)
- Kill an ashenbone drake in Plane of Hate; loot Decrepit Hide. (Uncommon drop; spawns as trash mobs; bring a tracker)
- Obtain an Enchanted Platinum Bar (created by Enchanters)
- Head to the Qeynos Catacombs (Aqueduct System) and find Teydar (enter from the Warrior Guildmaster area in South Qeynos)
- Give Teydar:
- Drake Spine
- Decrepit Hide
- Enchanted Platinum Bar
- Receive Decrepit Sheath
- Go back to Duriek Bloodpool in Paineel.
- Give him:
- Blade of Abrogation
- Ghoulbane
- Soul Leech and Dark Sword of Blood
- Decrepit Sheath
- Receive Corrupted Ghoulbane
- Go to Toxxulia Forest.
- First, find Knarthenne Skurl and say “what heart of an innocent” to receive Soulcase (2-slot container).
- Next, go to Marl Kastane on Kerra Island (still in Toxxulia Forest) and say “what prophecy” to receive Seal of Kastane.
- Go back to Paineel. You’ll need a key to get to the City area.
- You can farm Kobald faction in The Warrens then get one from a guard, have a friend/box create a level 1 Erudite, or use Pick Lock.
- Once in the City, find Gerot Kastane and give him Seal of Kastane to receive Note to Marl.
- Then, head back to Marl Kastane in Toxxulia Forest and give him Note to Marl.
- Go to The Hole and kill a chest until Cell Key drops. Loot it. (Rare drop)
- Once you have Cell Key, find Caradon (+420, -190) in The Hole. He is located in a jail cell he shares with an elemental spawn. He has a long respawn timer – if he isn’t up, check every few hours.
- Give him Cell Key. He will attack.
- Additionally, Kyrenna will spawn and attack.
- Kill both and loot Blood of Kyrenna and Heart of Kyrenna from Kyrenna’s corpse. (Level 55; bring a group to be safe.)
- The map is missing the jail section of The Hole. Directions to find Caradon:
- Zone in from the “key’d rock” side of Paineel (not the “dropdown” side).
- Run through until you see a ramp leading down to a pit filled with a massive construct.
- At the bottom of the ramp, there is a doorway with a lamp on each side. Run through, take an immediate left into the next hallway, then take the first door on the right (next to the red banner on the wall).
- Run down two flights of stairs until you reach the next room with two doors. Take the door straight ahead. The first cubby on the right is where Caradon spawns (also spawns an elemental mob).
- Go back to Toxxulia Forest.
- Give Blood of Kyrenna to Marl Kastane to receive Dark Shroud.
- Then, combine Heart of Kyrenna by itself in the Soulcase (2-slot container) to create Heart of the Innocent.
- Find Ghost of Glohnor at the revenant tower in The Hole. (His PH’s are fallen heretics who spawn in the tombs.)
- Give him Dark Shroud.
- Mummy of Glohnor will spawn and attack. Kill it.
- Loot Head of Glohnor and Glohnor Wrappings from its corpse. (Level 56; bring a group to be safe.)
- Go back to Gerot Kastane in Paineel (in town).
- Give him Head of Glohnor to receive Head of the Valiant.
- Go to Toxxulia Forest.
- Give Glohnor Wrappings to Marl Kastane to receive Will of Innoruuk.
¶ Step 20 – Final Fight and Epic!
- Head to City of Mist and find Lhranc (0, +90).
- Give him:
- Corrupted Ghoulbane
- Heart of the Innocent
- Head of the Valiant
- Will of Innoruuk
- You will receive Lhranc’s Token and a human form of Lhranc will spawn.
- Hail the human form and it will attack. Kill it.
- This NPC is very tough – bring a raid in era. He is relatively hard even in PoP era, procs a 500-point lifetap, has low HP (~32K), so bring friends.
- Once dead, Marl Kastane will spawn just outside Lhranc’s room.
- Give Marl Kastane Lhranc’s Token to receive Innoruuk’s Curse!
