This quest is given by An Exiled Droag( -130, 78.4, 1064 ) who is down a climbable wall on the Drednever Crash Site island in The Bonemire. It is a lengthy signature quest with a Fabled reward. You must be level 60+ to receive this quest.
The first order of business is to find and read the book of Sacrifice in the Sanctum of the Scaleborn. This is located at -101, 66.76, -34.23 . This will give a new quest The Book of Sacrifice that you must harvest an unhatched dragon egg. This is also in the Sanctum of the Scaleborn within the Reservoir of the Wraith near 82, 39, -166 . After harvesting the egg you must go back to the book and place it on top of it. You can then read the book and get your update. (As of 10/28/2013 a gathering skill of 1 is required.)
You must first touch the book at -43, 57, -7 (on the third floor) and this will give you a new quest The Book of Power, which will send you to find the key to unlock the book. You can find the key at 44, -0.12, -101 (ground floor).
Then you need to find Book of Trials. This is in upper area of The Halls of Fate in The Bonemire at -19.9, 2.35, -96.87 . Obtaining it gives a sub-quest to find a fallen adventurer. They can be found at -3, -53, 270 in the Halls of Fate.
Return and read the Book of Trials. You must then complete four trials, which are accessed by speaking to the Keeper outside the entrance to the Halls of Fate and clicking on the orb that appears:
Trial of Alacrity: Invis to the last room and clear it. This initiates a ring event. At the end of the ring event is a named mob who will complete the trial.
Trial of Endurance: In this trial make your way down until you see a blue column. There will be spawns of level 4x 68 ^ mobs. Clear these for approx 15-20 rounds and eventually 3 named mobs will then spawn up above. The first wave is 3 68 ^^ mobs. Kill these and a named 71^^^ will spawn up top near the door. Kill him to complete the trial.
Trial of Spirit: This is a solo task, similar to the Trial of Harclave. Click the statue and you will be turned into a dragon. Clear the mobs in the room to initiate a ring event. At the end a 70 ^^ dragon will spawn. Kill him to complete the trial.
Trial of Leadership: This is an epic x 4 epic raid instance.
Once all the trials are completed, speak with the Keeper outside to claim your reward.
When you are in the lower levels and come to the pit with all of the dragonspawn whelps - turn right and enter that hallway. Not the one on the opposite side of the room that leads to the Carnivorous Pillar.
The mobs in this hallway to the right are higher - they were green heroics and aggro to my level 80 - unlike most of the other mobs in this zone who were gray. The Doomwing Dragonswawn see invis and are mixed up with the Droags so I was not able to invis my way in. Pulling singles that I could solo with my necro was a fun challenge.
Once you find the body in the chamber that holds Sothis (just inside the door to the right), you need to watch out for patrols.
Ok, this took me a bit to figure out from the bits and peices i got from this page so far: Step 1: The book of sacrifice is in a room to the right of the Hall of Rites, not actually called the forge room, but there is a forge in the room next to the book. So you go to the book attempt to read it and it updates but now how you think, you can't read it without the scale from the egg. But you have to find the book first before you go looking for the egg. So after attempting to read the book and you can't you try to go find the egg at (+82, +39, -166) Then you go back to the book of sacrifice and place the egg on top of the book and now you can read it to get your quest to update. I hope that helps be more specific. ~Firs~Oasis~
Quest says to find the book of sacrifice and read it but it says to leave the book alone. My journal says to speak to some erudite first where is the erudite at?
I think the fact that it says 'Seek out the Keeper outside the Halls of Fate, for he shall begin your trials' is kind of a good indication that it does..
1) You do NOT need to know Erudian for this quest..
2) I did not need to go back and read the Book of Power again.. My quest automatically advanced after getting the Book of Trials to "Seek out the Keeper outside the Halls of Fate, for he shall begin your trials."
It turns out you need Erudian languagee to read the books to advance the quest. In Qeynos it is in Starcrest Commune(Scribe Ommanoden). In Freeport it is at Stonestair Byway (Scribe Johari). and both are at the scribe shops sold by the spell scroll people.
I just redid this quest and again I forgot to get Erudite language primer. I tried to read the book, but it said I couldn't and the writing was all encrypted, I thought I heard it ding, but volume was low and thought I was hearing things. I looked and the quest didn't update. so, I continued on and found the egg and it let me harvest it. I thought the egg was for a different quest and paid no attention.
I call home, get the Erudite language primer, and notice a DFC group forming, I needed the AA, so I mentored down to join. A bad pickup and it broke up mid-way through DFC. I go LD and when I re-log, I'm outside in Zek and couldn't finish my disco AA or finish my quests. I look in my journal and see this quest under Miscellaneous and it has, "[70] The Book of Sacrifice" listed. apparetly the quest did update without the Erudite language, but it turned into another quest.
Maybe someone can make note of it so people will know that the MOA has advanced. I'm sure the other books do it as well, as I noticed the error when I was on the POA book last time and figured it the only book that needed Erudite. The other quests will probably be [70]The Book of Power & [70]The Book of Trials.
The Unhatched Dragon Egg can be found in the Reservoir of the Wraith which is 2 lvls down. After u find the book, u continue down further to find the egg.
Instead of standing still, move to back right corner of the area right after the hall and before the room with the blue column, as long as every stays in corner area they won't aggro. Tank can move forward a bit to pull them as everyone's ready, just watch out for the pops in the area.
We discovered something about the Trial of Endurance the other night. The waves of mobs that spawn typically come after your group immediately, leaving very little time to regain power inbetween fights. However, if after the final mob in a wave is killed, NO ONE MOVES, the mobs don't come after you. Only when someone moves again will they come. Makes this trial cake provided everyone cooperates.
just wondering if you need to kill the final warden before you pull the guardian of leadership. heard different stories from people so i just wanna make sure thanks!!
This raid isnt hard with 4x 68+ group, you should be fine, but there are two things you need to know to succeed.
1. As stated previously respawn is fast, thus you must kill and move , kill and move as a group, dial-up'ers and laggers will get your whole group killed by junk mob adds so be prepared to disband slackers before they get you add-killed.
2. The final mob is the Guardian of Leadership which a dragon ghost thingy that blasts a level 75 AOE every 30 seconds called "Burden of the Wyrmkin". This is a Vox like DoT AOE with no safe area to joust. Thus you need to have a Templar or Mystic throw up their arcane group cure every time this guy AOE's goes off. If they do this your not gonna have too much of a problem.
The raid part goes pretty quicky. You basically clear the dungeon (respawn is short though, between 5-10 minutes) to get to the named at the end. You have to kill a couple named encounters in before you get to him, which can drop metal. The final named is a dragon.. kill him to update your quest.. then talk to the NPC again outside of HoF for your reward. There is no lockout.
