This task was available in August 2011 in the lead-up to the Veil of Alaris expansion release, and from September 3 to September 24, 2014 as part of "Stone Cold Summer" tasks and mission.
NOTE: There are multiple versions of this task. Which one you get depends on your level. This is a shared task (1-6 players) that begins with Arima Fae (click for map image), located near 890, -230 (far north-central boundary of the zone -- due north of the northernmost curve in the path). Note: You can use Meeka Gharn in the Plane of Knowledge (next to the Main Bank at approximately 410, 465, -124) to port directly to Arima Fae. You say, 'Hail, Meeka Gharn' Meeka Gharn says 'Greetings adventurer! I am wondering if you could [help].' You say, 'Help?' Meeka Gharn says 'My associate Arima Fae is in danger. He is being sought by the leader of a guild of thieves who calls himself Ven Baga. Arima received a book from Baga thought to lead to many treasures, if it could be deciphered. This was months ago, and now Baga grows impatient and believes Arima is trying to take the treasure for himself. Arima has sent me here to find someone who can help him. He has hired mercenaries for his personal protection, but he needs someone who is capable enough to do some outside work. If you are interested, you will find him in Misty Thicket.' You have entered The Misty Thicket. You say, 'Hail, Arima Fae' Arima Fae says 'You must have been sent by Meeka! Excellent! I have been having trouble finding the clues necessary to decipher this blasted Tome. It doesn't help that Ven Baga and his men are searching for me and making it difficult to travel. Will you [help] me?' You say, 'I will help.' Arima Fae says 'Excellent! I'll make sure you are handsomely rewarded for your efforts. Should we find anything, I will gladly cut you in on whatever we find. Now, to the [business] at hand.' You say, 'Business?' Arima Fae says 'I am certain that this Tome is related to the [statues] that have been appearing in Norrath. I will need you to track down and find these statues and see what clues you can get from them. I would go myself, but I suspect that Baga will no doubt think the same thing and be waiting for me. But you? I am sure you can handle a couple of low-rent thugs. Will you [do this] for me?' You say, 'I will do this.' Arima Fae says 'Your help is much appreciated! ' You have been assigned the task 'Only The Blind Will See [65]'. Arima is looking for information about unusual statues that have been appearing throughout Norrath. He has asked for your help in investigating them. You are sent to find Driggles Sparkwaddle in Fungus Grove, located in the second-to-last building on the left leaving the vendor area, at -1225, -560. Need dialogues & task steps. Driggles Sparkwaddle says 'Statues! I don't really want to talk about statues. The last one I saw gave me a serious fright. It's like it snuck up on me. Made me drop my best kerchief. It was in... a place they called Skyfire. I can see why, it's got a lot of scary flames and hot spots all over it. Once that statue snuck up on me, I left, fast. You'll have to find your own way there, I'm not interested in going back. I feel safer here.' The statue location is -2200, -3585, -114 in Skyfire (between druid port-in and Overthere zoneline.) You find a singed handkerchief that was probably a very expensive item before it was left on the volcanic ground. The handkerchief has a large D stitched into one corner. It is obvious that Driggles thought that this was the appropriate statue, but you know that this ancient dragon statue is not what you seek. Samson's location is 290, -3535, 253 in Firiona Vie (on a hill behind the new Outpost.) You say, 'Hail, Samson' Samson says 'I know the Irontoes, every seller of mead knows the Irontoes. They haven't mentioned statues to me. Come to think of it, though, there were some fellows here asking about statues. They looked a bit seedy, but I didn't have any information for them any more than I do for you. They headed west and then south out of here when they left, if you're looking for them.' When you leave Samson, head out of the Outpost. When you exit the building/tunnel, turn south (left). You will receive an update at about /loc 25, -1980 and be ambushed by three thieves. Give Arima the note you found 0/1 (Misty Thicket) Arima Fae says 'Oh, I see you found some of Ven's bunch. I guess I may as well tell you what I can. You see, those thugs had an invaluable text because I think I can figure out how to read it. But to get it from them I had to tell them a small lie. I told them that the text would lead me to great treasure once I deciphered the language. Unfortunately it has taken longer than I expected to decipher the language. Not that there is any real treasure to be found, at least not for thugs like them. I wonder if we can use this to our [advantage]...' You say 'Advantage?' Arima Fae says 'Yes. Yes! It sounds like they've been looking for me by seeking the statues that I've been looking for. I suspect that they have people all over waiting near possible statues. If they have found one of the statues I seek then maybe we can find out where it is from them! Go find my contact in Kithicor Forest. He'll know where they think they can ambush me. Get that information from him and then go there and find the statue! I am quite brilliant, I must admit.' Question Thimble, Arima's contact in the rogue thieves guild 0/1 (Kithicor Forest) Thimble can be found in the merchant cabin with Darvon & Grace near the Commonlands zone line: You say 'Hail, Thimble Thrasher' Thimble Thrasher says 'I can't take it anymore! Everyone pressuring me to find Arima, find some stupid statues, do everything or we'll kill you! Enough already! I give up. I'll tell you where Ven thinks the statue is. Anything to get you away from me!' Search for the mysterious statue 0/1 (Everfrost Peaks) More details needed from here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Don't start this quest line unless you have a group full of well geared people who can join the same task as yours. The last dragon you're supposed to kill in the "level 65 bracket", cons red to lvl 61 mage, and yellow to lvl 69 enchanter, and it's an undercon who summons, so it will one-shot your level 69 merc tank, and nobody of a level who can possibly kill it will be able to enter the instanced version of the map to aid you (because they will be too high level to add them to the task). It's also a timed quest so if your group doesn't complete it and you can't find anyone else to fill the group after people begin to leave discouraged, all your hard work in the starting missions (which requires a lot of traveling) will be discarded.
When you leave Samson head out of the Outpost. When you exit the building/tunnel turn South (left) you will receive update at approx. P25.20, N1980 and 3 dark blue ambushing thief (thieves) will spawn. IMO very hard for the con, bring friends. Upon their three deaths, you get the message: You find a note on one of the thugs you defeated. Give Arima the note you found 0/1 (Misty Thicket).
Arima Fae says 'Oh, I see you found some of Ven's bunch. I guess I may as well tell you what I can. You see, those thugs had an invaluable text because I think I can figure out how to read it.

You say 'Advantage?'
Arima Fae says 'Yes. Yes! It sounds like they've been looking for me by seeking the statues that I've been looking for. I suspect that they have people all over waiting near possible statues.

Question Thimble, Arima's contact in the rogue thieves guild 0/1 (Kithicor Forest)
Thimble can be found in the merchant cabin with Darvon & Grace near the Commonlands zone line:
You say 'Hail, Thimble Thrasher'
Thimble Thrasher says 'I can't take it anymore! Everyone pressuring me to find Arima, find some stupid statues, do everything or we'll kill you! Enough already! I give up. I'll tell you where Ven thinks the statue is. Anything to get you away from me!'
Search for the mysterious statue 0/1 (Everfrost Peaks)
I searched all over Everfrost, I could not find the update spot. I figured it would be the Giant Statue, but nothing.
