You say, 'Hail, Vasser Fayeil'
Vasser Fayeil says 'It's a terrible thing that happened to Faldern, but he did not die in vain. We now know that a Keeper's Ring is the only way to keep the Sol`dal alive outside of the city. I don't understand how it protects the elves, but I intend to [find out].'
You say, 'Let's find out'
Vasser Fayeil says 'The secret to the rings must be hidden within Keeper's Hall. My wife, Evyln, kept journals during her time there. It's possible she may have written something about the ring's power. [Head to the hall] and recover any journals you can find. You should have access with the ring I made, though you won't be welcome.'
You have been assigned the task 'Rings of Fire'.
Vasser needs assistance crafting and enchanting Keeper's Rings.
You say, 'I'll head to the hall'
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Argin-Hiz: Burn Out.
Speak to Vasser Fayeil near Keeper's Hall 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
You say, 'Hail, Vasser Fayeil'
Vasser Fayeil says 'This is as close to Keeper's Hall as I can get without drawing unwanted attention. You should head into the hall and see if any of the archivists have pages from Evyln's journal, though they likely won't give them up without a fight.'
Recover pages from Evyln's journal 0/4 (Argin-Hiz)
These drop from "a Sol`Dal archivist" mobs in the Keeper's Tower. They hit for a max ~13,000 and are stunnable, but not mezzable, rootable, snareable, or pacifiable (and summon when damaged).
Deliver the journal pages to Vasser 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
Vasser Fayeil nods thoughtfully as he reads the journal page.
Speak to Vasser Fayeil 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
You say, 'Hail, Vasser Fayeil'
Vasser Fayeil says 'It appears the rings are imbued with the flame of Ro. The metal used to form the bands is smelted near the fire, absorbing its warmth. The gem then traps the heat, causing a tiny flame to flicker within. This allows the Sol`dal to thrive even if they travel far from the flame, but it also means without a ring, my friends and family will perish when you extinguish the flame.' Vasser begins to read another [journal page].'
You say, 'What's on the other journal page?'
Vasser Fayeil continues, 'The ring has a purpose other than simply protection, however. It is enchanted with a teleportation spell that allows its wearer access to the chamber above the atrium where Ro's flame burns. It appears we need each other's [help] again.
You say, 'Help?'
Vasser Fayeil says 'You need your ring enchanted, and I need the materials to make rings for my loved ones. Raid the shops within the Diamond District and steal enough moltenite to make six rings, but don't forget the selenium from the mines. Once you have the materials, return to me for further instruction.'
Loot Moltenite from Sol`Dal Shopkeepers 0/6 (Argin-Hiz)
Loot Chunks of Solenium from ember miners 0/6 (Argin-Hiz)
Shopkeepers are scattered about the entire northeastern part of the zone. They are immune to mez and root/snare and are usually found among several other types of mobs, so you'll need a puller to single them out, or be prepared to kill more mobs than necessary. And watch the see invis imps scattered about.
Ember miners are found in the mines, and are mezzable and pacifiable, but immune to stuns.
Deliver the Moltenite to Vasser Fayeil 0/6 (Argin-Hiz)
Deliver the Chunks of Solenium to Vasser Fayeil 0/6 (Argin-Hiz)
Speak with Vasser Fayeil 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
You say, 'Hail, Vasser Fayeil'
Vasser Fayeil thanks you, 'Now that I have the needed items, we should head into the atrium where Ro's flame burns and begin the spell. I will do my best to perform the enchantment, but it will be long and difficult. If you can ensure my safety, I should be able to complete the spell uninterrupted.
Follow Vasser Fayeil to Ro's Flame 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
Task Window Says: Head into the atrium at the center of Keeper's Hall where Vasser will conduct the spell.
As said, head into the center room of Keeper's Hall. When ready for a fight, walk right up to Vasser Fayeil to update this step.
Task LOCKS at this point.
Protect Vasser Fayeil from attacks as he enchants the rings 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
As soon as you walk up to his location (or, after having failed this small event, re-hail him), you see this emote:
Vasser Fayeil focuses his gaze on the flame and begins chanting, drawing the attention of keepers nearby.
This signals the spawn of 2x "a keeper of the flame". These mobs appear from either side of the room and charge his location. They hit for a max ~15,000 and are susceptible to mez and stun.
60 seconds after the initial spawn (ready or not), you see the following emote, which indicates another 2x "a keeper of the flame" attacking:
Vasser Fayeil steps closer to the flame as his chants grow louder, drawing more attention from nearby keepers.
After another 60 seconds passes (again, ready or not), you get 3x "a keeper of the flame":
Vasser Fayeil closes his eyes and continues to chant, ignoring the incoming attackers.
Kill all 7x "a keeper of the flame" to update this step, and be ready for an eighth mob after they die (warning: the eighth mob spawns at the doorway).
a keeper of the flame has been slain by _____!
a keeper of the flame sputters, 'How could I be cut down, in my prime?'
Vasser Fayeil continues chanting, drawing the attention of High Keeper Kehlar.
High Keeper Kehlar laughs, 'Come a little closer, and feel the warmth of my rage!'
High Keeper Kehlar laughs uproariously, 'Bask in the warmth of my rage, pathetic one!'
Defeat High Keeper Kehlar 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
High Keeper Kehlar spawns at the doorway and immediately aggro's. He hits for a max ~15,500; single-target rampages; and spawns adds called "a volatile imp":
a volatile imp says 'I serve the flames. You burn soon.'
These adds appear to be health-based: Maybe 90%, 70%, 50%, 30%, and 10% or thereabouts. 20 seconds after their spawn, you see this emote:
A volatile imp becomes highly unstable.
Shortly after, it despawns, seemingly AE'ing (AE is not known).
High Keeper Kehlar has been slain by _____!
High Keeper Kehlar's corpse says 'My flame cannot be... extinguished!'
Speak to Vasser Fayeil 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
You say, 'Hail, Vasser Fayeil'
Vasser Fayeil breaths a heavy sigh of relief, 'You did well, _____. I would not have been able to enchant the rings without your protection. The jewelry should allow its wearer to live on even after the task of extinguishing Ro's flame is complete. As for your ring, I've bound it with a spell that will grant you access to the chamber above the atrium, where the flame blazes in all its glory. Speak with me [back] at my shop when you wish to learn how to use it.'
Claim your reward from the Scorched Chest 0/1 (Argin-Hiz)
