Warden Symbol of Tunare  

 

I did the third part of the quest for my 45 Mage, (I know this quest is for a Cleric or Druid) but am doing for faction as well, in about 1 hour. You can get Caustic Fluid in Unrest as well. Mistmoore has been changed back since the Halloween Event occurred so no longer a 60+ zone anymore. Rancorous Ghasts spawn betw game time of 6 PM - 6 AM and I had 5 in of those 12 hour sessions to drop 3 Putrescent Hearts. I already had 1 so I was finished with that part with a 46 Druid helping with a 123 tracking ability. Got that part done, after figuring out what to do, in about 2 hours.

In reviewing my previous notes for this quest, and sending this link to a fellow cleric today I discovered one very significant problem. Caustic substance and where it drops. Mistmoore is now a 65+ zone so you have 1 of 3 choices. Get a group to fight in, 2. hope you have faction and are able to walk in, or 3. find out where else in game it drops. Even if you do have faction, handling the jail as a cleric before was doable. Killing anything in this zone now without addes as a 65 cleric is almost impossible. Unless maybe you're a level 70 time geared aa'd cleric with a trick or 2 up your sleeve.

Good Luck, I'm looking forward to hearing more posts about the necklace.

Hi, just did this again with a new character (35 DRU). Completed the whole thing in around 4-5 hours I guess.

My advice... start killing all the undead you can find at around 3pm game time. They spawn all over so run around and track them.

I got lucky - 1 heart the first night and then 3 in a row the second (took me much longer the first time I did this).

I made sure to keep the obelisk clear (only the two spawns on the steps). I think the necro is just a normal random spawn with placeholder, but only spawns at night (10pm game time on the bottom step for me). Gated back to G Fay zone and tracked courier - he moves quite fast, and even with Wolf Form it took a while to catch him, so don't hang around on this bit.

Headed to Split Paw - a high level was camping Ishva and had some Hellebore for me.

Sol A - took a couple of friends (29 BST, 29 ENC) and got the dust on about the tenth kill.

Mistmoore - invised to the graveyard and then dropped through to the jail area. One of the cells had a Dark Offerer. Didn't try Harmony - we just pulled all three in the cells, ENC mezed and BST tanked and we coped (although I wouldn't describe it as trivial). The Offerer obliged with the drop.

First time I soloed this by using camo and levitate to get onto the roof of the castle. I then ran around so I was overlooking the courtyard (outside the Cloaked Dhampyre's room) and had a nuke battle with a Dark Offerer below. Jumped down, looted and gated out.

Fun quest with a very nice reward, even by today's twink standards. Yeah, getting the hearts and spawning the necro can be a pain, but now that I've tried Nurga/Droga quests and Marsinger's it doesn't seem so bad :)

Completed yesterday 4/7/2004 for my level 52 Wood Elf Druid of Tunare. Any Cleric or Druid of Tunare SHOULD have this item as it is awesome. I have only played with it for two days, but so far only named mobs in BWoods (Gullerback u suck)and none in CScar so far have resisted this root. Keep in mind that it is only a lvl 5 root spell (for Druids), so mobs with high magic saves will resist this one. This item is GREAT though to solo with or for any occassion; and I am sure it can be a lifesaver on more than one occassion. Get this item as soon as you can for your toon ... it is easy to get if you have patience and a level 25+ toon to get it.
**********
Collecting the 'Putrescent Heart' is the slowest and most boring thing ever ... but patience will prove the victor.
**********
1. Initiate ... getting these hearts suck ... tracking helps !!! will killing undead in the area make the ghasts spawn more often?? ... not sure ... can it hurt ... prolly not so i did it anyhow. Clerics get a ranger/druid/bard to help
you track these mothers (or try sense undead eek) ... pretty sure they only pop at night and consider yourself lucky if you get 2-3 spawns per game night and hearts are semi-rare (dont /cry when you keep looting a cloth veil). As a druid these should be near the top of your tracking list (Druid tracking is sorted by the age of the mob, or how long its been 'up' for...I think) and that may help. Took me about 8 solid camping hours to get these drops (boring). Be patient here is all I can say and have a friend wait for the Necro to spawn for part 2...
**********
2. Aloe Sweat Necklace (name? lol)... this for me was easy ... had a friend camping the obelesik(sp?) while i was looking for the hearts. The necro spawned at night (of course) and on the first step of the obelesik. Not sure of the trigger for spawn as she just camped it and killed anything that popped there. The 'ghoul boss' was NOT (i repeat NOT) up before the necro spawned. Friend killed necro while i waited at GFay zoneline. Got a tell from friend that necro is dead so i start to track and there is "a dark elf courier" near the top of the list. I chase him down (he is running pretty fast), kill him, and loot his head and crate. Loot Necro head at Obelesik. Then continue to look for more ghasts/hearts. Courier will pop right after the Necro's death near GFay zoneline as stated on other posts (ty!).
**********
3. Uber neckpiece. Bought White Hellebore in /bazaar (1pp). Cleared the jail in MMCastle and no Dark Offerer and waited for one pop. Was another person in zone (getting stuff for adventurer staff though zone is typically empty nowadays) and asked them to send tell if they saw Caustic Fluid. Before second round of pops in jail...got a tell from person in zone. Looted caustic fluid from Dark Offerer in LIBRARY room. Went to SolA and killed all gobblins till i got my dust (took bout an hour).
**********
Turned it all in for my uber neckpiece !! Yay...this thing rocks...i love to use it in combo with my mana free snare earring...and mana free DoT vambracers.
**********
All in all took me about 1 and a half days of work. Not sure of minimum level to solo it as I did it as a level 52 druid with some help in MMCastle (for safety sake), some help in SolA (for fun), and help camping the Necro in LFay. Mostly easy camps (patience required) with the exception of MMCaste which can be very dangerous if you're not well prepared. Don't forget the Fluid can drop in BB/MM LDoN's too! Send me a tell (Kiledar on Vazaelle) if you have any questions regarding this easy and very worthwhile quest.

For those of you still wondering...

As of 4/3/2004 the quest still works. Although I did have initate symbol before today.

Have a level 24 (now 25) half-elf druid.

Went like this, started this quest about 5 months ago figured it would be sweet to have end product (unlimited root+damage-mana cost) So I started collecting items for it. The ghasts were kinda hard to track down. Esp in Lesser Fay, for the level I was at, brownies were a problem before level 24. At 24 you get wolf form as a druid and brownies dont aggro. Eventually got all the hearts and turned them in to get first necklace. Then went to camp the necro for second quest while I was there stopped by MM for caustic fluid for the 3rd part of the quest. I had already attained the White Hellebore from Gnolls in South Karana. Well I camped the necro for hours upon hours days upon days. Then gave up, just randomly checked track walking through every now and then. Today I come in and I had forgotten all about the quest saw a name on track I hadent seen before, and a pet. I followed and sure enough...it was him. He was light blue at 24 and there are pathing issues around the spire (wink wink) Zapped him with careless lightning couple times and meleed him to death, his pet was not in sight. Then I remembered I had to gate to the bind point I set at the entrance to GFay to LFay like I was told to by someone who had done the quest. So I gated, found the DE courier he was also Light blue but he was a cleric (i think) his spelles did little to me. Killed him got head and crate. Turned in and got second symbol. Had all but dust for last quest turned it in and boom new neck piece.

This Tiggered ability has a cast time of 4 seconds, not very fast, but not slow either, and very usefull indeed, I have noticed I can kill one extra MOB due to the fact that root is free in PoN soloing at lvl 53.

The description says Tunare, however the picture doesnt, I am a Bristlebane cleric and would love this item. Anyone got one that can look and let me know please 8-)

Just thought you might want to know, if you thinking about doing this quest, that the dark offerers are not always found in the jail. When i went to kill one I had to go fairly deep into the castle. So, dont going there expecting to just run into the jail and get it, you might have to run a little deeper in.

Got my Warder symbol last night! The only part I was leery about was obtaining the Caustic Fluid from Mistmoore, as I had never hunted there before. But after reading all the posts here, I waltzed right in and had the fluid within 3 minutes. The only difficulty I had was that for some reason my Druid would become inaccessible for a couple of days when trying to zone into Mistmoore.

I have been slaughtering goblins by the dozens in Solusek Eye and not one has dropped a pouch of red dust. Can anyone confirm whether this is broken or just a rare drop?

Can any deity use this item or only worshippers of Tunare. I got the first quest completed and the neclace says you must equip in order to use the haste spell. Is the mana free root neclace the same or can you put into inventory and still use the spell. TIA

I did this quest 2 weeks ago. The hard part was Mistmoore. I guess I could have figured out the PH for the offerers but I just brute forced it. 4 were on track but they were all inside deep. I invised and tracked 3 down. Problem is all 3 were surrounded by DEs. I nuked with wildfire once and it took it down to a quarter life. As the other 6 DEs were beating on me I had to get one more nuke off, loot, and gate out. I am level 60 and barely lived. So frankly unless the offerer spawns in a more accessible area its a tough go in Mistmoore.

I had to do this twice because the first time I brewed with the fluid in the barrel and it ate the dust and the drop off the offerer. Be careful when combining so you don't lose stuff like me
