The MMO Notebook

So I roll on up the road to Halgarad.  It was a bit of a run, but not too bad.  I reached the city gates and found that some of the guards had quests to give.  Shield Korkash gave one called Isolation, where I need to deliver quests to an isolated watchtower outside of Halgarad.  Shield Diadra, who stands next to Korkash, gives Bloodhowler Invastion, requiring me to kill bloodhowler mystics and flameweavers in a camp outside of town.  I am also to set fire to their food stores.  I set these aside for a later time and continued on to complete the Okhnom’s Supplies quest.

If you will recall, I needed to find Shaman Krat to complete the Okhnom Supplies quest.  Following the in-game map to his location took me all the way through Halgarad, out the northwest gates, and through an area called Derogar’s Outpost.  While in the Outpost I found a spellcaster trainer that invites me to visit the Ring of Zalaz to further my Druid training.

Shaman Krat can be found west of Derogar’s Outpost.  He stands next to a wooden watchtower.  Completing the Okhnom quest gave 1310 experience points.  Krat then gives the Final Delivery quest that wants me to deliver the supplies to Lake Carlsson.  He also gives a few more quests that I will get into later.  I had the quests from the Halgarad guards to complete first.

I had to run all the way back through Halgarad to do the Isolation quest.  I discovered that the watchtower is on a high hill south of the Halgarad gates.  I ran past it on the way to Halgard without seeing it.  I delivered the supplies and received 80 copper and 524 experience.  While there, Shield Unga tasked me with killing bloodhowlers and taking their eyes.

The Bloodhowler Invastion and Two Eyes For An Eye quests took me to the same spot.  It is a gnoll camp just down the hill from the Halgarad gates.  Since I was playing solo, I had to tread with care in order to pull singles.  It wasn’t too bad, and in the end, I killed enough gnolls, harvested enough eyes, and burned enough supply bags to get the quests done.  The supply bags were a bit tricky as most of the little white bags are next to groups of gnolls, but with careful planning I got it done.

The last thing I wanted to do during this session was find the Ring of Zalaz and find the Druid trainer.  It took me a long time to find since I was not given any clue where it was located inside Halgarad.  I finally found some street signs that pointed the way to it.  It was in what I thought to be a strange part of town, being in the crafters area.  Be that as it may, I found Varral the trainer and trained my level 10 spells, which were:

• Dissipate: Disperses a spell my opponent is casting (counter spell)
• Piercing Roots II: Immobilize enemy and cause 303-323 damage over time
• Nature’s Wrath I: 1413-1490 damage over 32 seconds
• Soothe II: 360 heal and 702 heal over 16 seconds
• Restore I: 340 Heal
• Vanishing Winds: Evacuate self and or group to a safe area
• Hierophant’s Boon: Restore 60 phenomena points.
