Spell: Stoicism  

 

I attempted this quest on 21 Dec 03. Getting in place was easy as usual. The nerf comes in when you target a drunken pirate and run back to the little nitch behind the 2nd and 3rd cabin. Before, I could cast my slow from behind the cabin, and it would still take. Now though, it will not let you cast through the walls. Pulling them is no longer an easy task :( It seems I'll have to get a decent group together now, or wait until it is no longer needed.

I did this quest last night, took me a total of about 30 :), A buddy of mine told me a little secert about about how to do it. so i grabed c3 and ran to the zone. When i got to the zone i ran past the row of houses to right where the water start's. the the an open area right in the corner between a dock and the wall. i buffed my self up completly, i mean all stat buffs, flurry inc. med up to full ran in to first house, taged the drunk, ran out side, casted slow. When he came out i ran to the wall and waited for him to come up and hit me, when he did i root him right there, ran to the first dock, ramp, what ever it is. Doted him, DD until dead, he brock root a few times tho, when he did this i ran back to the wall and waited fir him to come back to me. did this same thing again on the secondary drunk, other than his EF friend, which i rooted and slowed. LUCKY me, the flask was on the second druck, so right as i grabed it EF rooted broken, i tho invis up and ran like a little girl. Tho the two spirit me and a 46 ranger took with eazzz.

This spell is awesome, great downtime heal. tho it does not seem to work on people that are not grouped with me.. not sure if that is the way it suppost to be.

O and i did this at 45..

ok all its fixed just completed the quest at 1:30 p.m. central time on march 7 ... and its easy , just hand in the flask then the rock and the two sprits that you have to kill spawn right behind you jetsam and flotsam... they will not agro on you I just slowed, root dot , told pet to attack jetsam and meded a bit , then when he dided slowed rooted dot and let pet attack the other looted the first looted the second. handed them in and done. Easy quest great spell. now all take care and sorry for the the grammer mistakes a little excited and I know this needed to be said that it was fixed

NOTE: THIS QUEST IS CURRENTLY BROKEN
But the good news is you can do the first half of the quest while SoE gets it fixed.

Sto i cism:
n 1. Indifference to pleasure or pain; impassiveness

There is a miniature water elemental named "An Impassive Sea Spirit". He is in Gunthak and is located under a flipped over sunken ship's hull at loc pos 695, neg 150. Enduring Breathe or an EB item is recommended. you say, 'Hail, an impassive sea spirit.' You say, 'I dare to learn.' An impassive sea spirit says, 'We will see... (blah blah) ...Bring me something empty that previously numbed feeling and therefore brought emptiness to it's possessor. You should not have to travel far.'

There are drunken pirates near the entrance into Dulak Harbor. They randonly drop Empty Flask. Race: SHM. It takes about 40-80 kills to find a flask. There are 4 drunk spawns on the first row of houses on your right when you zone in. The adjacent Boardwalk strip has 2 or 3 more. Also 2 or 3 more in the houses in the middle (across from the large WHITE tavern).

After handing in the flask, the spirit gives you A Clear Rock and asks "Are you ready to become as impassive as the sea". Respond by saying "I am as impassive as the sea". The text afterwards suggests that you need to kill small elements in the sea and return the essences to him. When you are ready for the challenge, simply give back the rock he just gave you.

This is where the quest is broken because nothing happens when you hand in the rock. He doesn't give it back. He says nothing. Nothing nearby spawns. Nothing comes up on track. This is where it is broken, it was confirmed by a GM that was watching one shaman do the Clear Rock hand-in. So no other shamans waist their Empty Flasks, the SoE has perma-killed the sea spirit. Hold onto your Empy Flask until you see him again, once he's back in the game, the quest should be fixed.

It is speculated that 2-3 elementals will trigger spawn and you have to get 2-3 drops (1 per elemental). Hand those into the Impassive Sea Spirit to get Spell: Stoicism.

Quest starts from something like "an Impassive Water Spirit". Currently the quest is broken, and as of last night (2/27/03) the mob was no longer there.

So far, the information gathered is that you need "an empty flask" from a Drunken Pirate in Dulak, turn that in to the water spirit. After this point, the quest is broke, hopefully to be fixed soon.
