artisan's wares

Find Lebounde ab Dolmen in Halas.

Per allakhazam “Roams throughout Halas. At night, he returns to an empty structure with a bed and sleeps. He will not respond to hails. You may not enter the structure, clicking on the door results in the following: Try as you might, the door does not budge. Gets up at 5am, goes to bed at 7pm.”

I found him using the find key on my map

Lebounde map

When I got to the spot the map linked too it was empty of the NPC

Typing /time in game I learned why.

Gametime

I missed him by an hour. So just like in old EQ days.. you have to wait!

If your server has not had a server wide first turn in then your npc will be called ” a belwildered artisan” and wonders around in Everfrost.

ILLA seems to have unlocked the server wide achievement on Xegony. Thanks ILLA!

iila server first

I waited to 5 am and shortly I saw him

Lebounde

I hailed him. but he did not offer me the [work] key words, that is listed on alla.

Lebounde text fail

UPDATE: Zachton  found out/figured out that you have to hand in an item to get him to talk to you or alternately you can do the quest An Epic Request twice to get the quest an Epic Retelling offered to you. Upon completion of an Epic Retelling, Lebounde ab Dolmen will respond to you with the [work] text without turning any items in.

Go to Halas to the well  south of where the Find button says Lebounde ab Dolmen is located. Dive in. Swim to the bottom.

I was able to get Lebounde ab Dolmen to give my Druid the book who has ZERO epics, ZERO Epic Retold, Zero Epic Retelling and Zero Tradeskill Trophies, he does however have 300 in tailoring, not sure that even matters.

Using the Guild portal I was able to make it to Lavastorm mountains, from there it is a short jog to Solusek’s Eye. Solusek is split into 3 actual zones A, B, and C. A is not where you want to zone in at.

Zone into Solusek B using the map of Lavastorm.

Drop into the LAVA!  Yes it will burn you, and swim to the zone in to Solusek C. Use the steam stream and vent to go up the lava flow.

Here is my adventure to find the Blood Clay in Eurdin Burning.

The zone is on the first floor of House of Thule off  of The Dream Feerott.

Alla’s hints said to look for the paladin guild. Following the path of rats I wondered into this building.

Best I can figure, this is the entrance to the paladin building.

entrance to paladin guiild.jpg

The paladin’s liked me but the undead leading to the second floor had other ideas.

Bring a invis vs undead potion or two.

second floor undead

Using Invis Vs Undead you can skip a lot of skeletons in the beginning tunnels.

You will have to kill bone golems to these steps down

stairs down

This is where mixed live and undead mobs are and lots of them. Fight your way to this building on the left.

Go inside this building and up these stairs. Killing everything if you have too.

We did the Worn Chisel already when we were in Halas. See the top of this page if you missed it.


Cursed Arrowheads has been one of the harder ones for me to find.

I made it to Dalnir, but the map goes East not south of the zone in.

I had to copy the location into my map. To get there you have to make your way east to  this  rectangle and jump in.

Next we head to MMM. Guild Portal to Dragon Scale Hills. Dragon Scale Hills to Fortress Mechanotus  via the catapult in the north east corner.  MMM is the big building on the map. Take the elevators to get up there and click the door to MMM.

More then likely you will get the you have completed achievement for ” Meldrath’s Majestic Mansion Traveler.

This was a raid zone in the day, so things might not die fast if you agro them.

Head north on the same floor till you see this. Do not go up the stairs.

Oily gear loc

Pick up your  piece and get out the there. The mobs can and will kill you.

Torgiran Mines was one of the easier ones to get.

Upon turn in you are given another achievement to work on and three clues.

I was also presented with an error code of sorts. Weake does not have any tradeskill Trophies, so when I used the keyword [work] I got this error.

Sorry weake

I would have been offered a special tradeskill task based on the trophies I currently have.

I will complete a trophy and report back.
