Gram Dunnar is a dwarf in the building southeast of the Soulbinder in the Plane of Knowledge, location -325, -175, -155. If you're too "young" to be travelling the Planes (under level 51), you'll get this when you hail him:
The old dwarf glances at you briefly, then returns his attention to a small wooden object he is carving. 'Got no time for kids like you,' he grunts.
Otherwise, he's a bit more friendly:
The old dwarf looks up at you slowly, his wrinkled hands continuing to carve a small wooden object. He grins as he eyes your dust-covered outfit and well-used equipment. 'Ahh, a young adventurer,' he says. 'Warms my heart to see the spirit I once had still going strong. Got too old, you see." He strokes his beard. 'Tried taking up a [craft], but it just isn't the same. Sure would be nice to hear some [stories] about those new places I'll never get to see.'
You say, 'What craft?'
Gram Dunnar stops carving and holds up the object between his short fingers. It is a figurine of a swordsman with many intricate details. 'No one really wants to buy them, these days. If there's no magic in it. . .' he shrugs. 'Still, something to take up some time.' He rummages through some finished pieces on the floor around him, picks up one, and tosses it to you. 'Here,' he says. 'Maybe it'll bring you some luck.'
This earns you a class-specific charm, which gains power the further you progress in the planes. Each class charm is a little different, but they're all LORE/NO DROP/MAGIC Charm slot items.
For each of the first seven planar progression flags listed below, you get an Alternate Advancement reward equivalent to one point. Once you have fully-flagged or alternate access to these zones (level-enabled access will not do), Gram Dunnar will give you your AA point. You don't get a second point for a particular step by completing the regular flag after completing the alternate access quest.
To get this, simply repeat the phrase "I will tell you stories" a number of times.
You get a charm upgrade for all ten steps once you zone into the newly accessible zone.
1. Access to Storms and Valor
Gram listens eagerly to your tales of the Plane of Valor and Plane of Storms. 'Everything turned to glass by the dragon! That must be a sight,' he exclaims. 'Wish I could go there,' he sighs.
Reward: AA point and charm upgrade.
2. Access to Crypt of Decay/Ruins of Lxanvom
Gram shudders as you tell him of the Crypt of Decay. 'A foul place, indeed. I would have loved to slay a few of those creatures, though.' His hand clenches and his eyes look past you. 'Ah, the battles I used to have,' he mutters.
Reward: AA point and charm upgrade.
3. Access to Plane of Tactics/Drunder, Fortress of Zek
The dwarf grins excitedly at your description of the Plane of Tactics. 'I'd show the minions of Rallos Zek something, I would!' he exclaims, swinging his hands around as though wielding an axe. He sits down again and looks sadly at his aged hands.
Reward: AA point and charm upgrade.
4. Access to Halls of Honor
'Animated suits of armor, eh?' Gram says as you tell him of the Halls of Honor. 'Saw something like that once, but never so many as that.' His eyes get a faraway look. 'If I only I still had my youth.'
Reward: AA point and charm upgrade.
5. Access to Torden, Bastion of Thunder
'Giants and a huge fortress,' Gram sighs wistfully as you finish your story of the Bastion of Thunder. 'Storming through a place like that, killing everything in sight - those were good days.'
Reward: AA point and charm upgrade.
6.Access to Plane of Torment
Gram listens attentively to your story of the Plane of Torment. 'Ravens with bloody eyes,' he muses, 'and creatures with four mouths?' He shakes his head. 'Never in my day did I see such things.'
Reward: AA point and charm upgrade.
7. Access to Tower of Solusek Ro
Gram strokes his beard thoughtfully as you tell him of the Tower of Solusek Ro. 'The burning prince himself. A worthy opponent, I'm sure,' he says. 'Thank you for the tales, Moog. It's good to imagine these places, even if I may never see them.'
Reward: AA point and charm upgrade.
8. Access to Elemental Planes other than Plane of Fire
Reward: Charm upgrade only.
9. Access to Plane of Fire
Reward: Charm upgrade only.
10. Access to Plane of Time
Reward: Charm upgrade only. |
