The Reach Around
The start of the Crescent Reach quest hub on Lethar at level 11: a riding penguin at speed 75, the first rounds of guild and council quests, a sabotage elixir for a jealous brother, a flag for the tailor, and enough cougars, snakes and spiders to find that mana regeneration is the real limit. It ends with a sore throat and a possible change to the upload schedule.
The first real day in Crescent Reach, and most of it is learning who wants what. I bought a riding penguin, found the Necromancer guild master and the innkeeper, and started every quest chain the city hands out: nature lessons, supply errands for a jeweler and a baker, a sabotage plot between two dragon brothers, a charter to read and a flag to sew. Then I went out to the hollows for snakes, spiders and cougars and ran out of mana, which is the thing this class cannot hide at level 11.
The Penguin and the Welcome
A mount, and where the city sends you first.
- I bought a riding penguin. Lethar sells one, and I found that funny. The Frostweave Sabertooth is the other mount on offer and is a good one too.
- Speed 75 is faster than I wanted. I said it felt like flying and that I was probably going too fast.
- The emissary at the gate sends new arrivals to their guild masters at the bottom of the path, and to the initiate Draken and the innkeeper Faltus. Faltus is the one who builds your standing with the six great dragons.
- A glitch left the nameplates unreadable, so I worked out which one was the Necromancer guild master and found him.
- He talks about death as the only true art and hands over his guild's mantle. That was worth 100 reputation and there was nothing to learn from him yet.
Nature Lessons and the Library
Two quest givers that take the longest to find.
- The nature teacher is a dragon's child who greets you in the dragon tongue and sends you out into the hollow with a chain of three lessons.
- The lessons are mushrooms, venom sacs and sick spiders. Pick mushrooms in the Mushroom Grove outside the city, take venom sacs from snakes, then kill a few healthy spiders so the sick ones come out of hiding. The tally is five poison bags and four sick spiders.
- The library merchant collects artifacts. Bring any artifacts you find in the surrounding lands and you are paid and they go into the library, and you can also ask about the lore.
- I lost the innkeeper twice. Pressing Control and F and sorting by name finally turned up Faltus, and I had walked past the turn.
- Faltus offers a council introduction. He tells you about the Descendants of the Six and gives you a note for the council assistant, who sends you upstairs for a copy of the charter.
Supply Errands Upstairs
The jeweler and the baker, low level and mostly kills.
- Upstairs is reached by an elevator. Stand on the right side, click, and get off before it goes back down. The quests up there run from about level 5 to 10.
- The jeweler has three asks. Cave bat fangs for beads, at twelve teeth a necklace; ten pest and bat skins for leather bracelets; and six mushroom caps plus spore fungi for dye.
- I was carrying cougar fangs when I read the fang request, so check what the log actually wants before turning anything in.
- The baker is busy cooking for the council. His fizzy lemonade ran out when his former assistant took the case into the caves outside the lower level, in Stone Hollow, so you find the assistant and bring back a bottle.
- The baker's second job is a flan recipe. It needs six delicious truffles.
- At least one of the trade skill quests is listed at level 30. I left them for later.
The Elixir Plot
Two brothers, one council seat, and a quest that keeps going.
- A sour dragon named Boab, by the captions, wants a council seat. He is sure he knows his father's art better than his older brother, and he cannot see why the older brother was chosen.
- His plan is an elixir. He wants it delivered to a council member so her throat burns for days and the council blames his brother.
- The council member sees it coming. She looks at you suspiciously, drinks it, goes red, and then a soft blue light from her hands calms her down. Her mother's power over air and water is enough to cancel the burn.
- That is not the end of the quest. She asks you to prove your loyalty by telling Boab it worked, and she hands you another potion to carry back. It was good that I read the text, because I nearly closed it.
- Boab pays out a choice. A cleansing mask, or a dagger and shield, or a wand and shield. I took the wand over the dagger, going by a 10 intelligence line against 4 or 5 stamina as I read it, and did not look at the shield's stats because it is a plain wooden one.
- A belt swap around then was a big upgrade on the one I was wearing, and I felt a little healthier straight away.
The Charter and the Dark Apprentice
Two things I started and did not finish.
- The charter is on a shelf in the library downstairs. It appears as an object when you walk in rather than being handed over, and the quest has a time limit, so read it and go straight back to the assistant.
- The assistant then sends you on. The assistant likes persistence and points you to a book in a hidden room on the third level of Grakdar's lair. That is a level 10 quest, and the mobs up there are stronger than in the city.
- I found the hidden room and accepted the quest, but I did not read anything and left it for later.
- A dark apprentice has an assignment of his own. He wants to become a master of shadow and necromancy and rise on the Council of Six, and he offers a task to show the right frame of mind.
- The task is to kill a scaleless barbarian, one of the artisans who trains the young dragons, on the second level before the patrolling guard catches you, and bring back his bag of goods. Killing inside the city walls is not approved.
- I said it was like being asked to commit murder. I moved on to the hidden room instead.
The Flag and the Spirits
Council trials, then the dragon grove chain.
- The Council of Six trial is a lot of talking. Every member says the same thing, that you are to support their parents and never attack them, and then points you to the tailor.
- The tailor needs a flag. You get a pattern and a dye, you combine them in a sewing kit, return the flag cloth and it gets sewn onto an old staff. The result goes to a council member and the Prove Your Worth task completes.
- The crafting needs its own bag, and I do not like that. I would rather open the craft window with the kit in my inventory.
- Achievements are moving. Welcome to the Crescent Coast is done, the Jealousy of Moab is done, the first part of The Council of Six is done, and Graduate of the Crescent Coast is still open.
- I am doing it for the rewards. I am not worried about experience, because at this level it is not worth the effort.
- One council member, who goes by Moonfire in the captions, teaches about the spirit world. The Spirit of Truth appears in Dragon Grove when you reach the runestones on the ground, and the Spirit of Wisdom at runestones on the path between the city and the grove. You listen to all of it, and then you find the ghost hunter Yuri.
- A shadow quest followed. A dark practitioner offered a taste of the darkness and I left with a torch.
Out in the Hollows, and Signing Off
Mana ran out first, then my voice.
- The pet does almost all of the killing. Crevice spiders, hollow snakes and cougars are all low enough that I had no real difficulty, and the sick spiders turned up once I killed the healthy ones.
- Snakes were thin on the ground. I stood at three bags of the five for a while and had to go back for more, and I had expected far more snakes than that.
- Cougars are level 8 and give fangs. Sporling caps and the delicious truffles came out of the first cave, and I held onto the trade skill drops for later.
- I ran out of mana completely. One kill gave me about 7 percent, as the captions have it, which is not bad, and sitting on the penguin gave me about 11 mana regeneration. I also lost Dark Pact at one point.
- Normal mana regeneration is what this class lacks. I said so out loud, and I said there is still a lot of work in the zone.
- The nature lessons paid out in potions. Handing in the snake bags gave a mana regeneration potion, and the next hand-in gave a health potion.
- My throat is starting to hurt. Talking for a long time is the reason I have been making fewer videos, and I do not know what to do about it yet.
- I may move to twice a week in place of weekly. I am making less EverQuest Legends content until something new is released there, because I have played that game a lot and there is little left for me to do in it.
Crescent Reach, Day One
- Buy the mount early, and expect to overshoot NPCs at speed 75.
- Press Control and F and sort by name when you cannot find an NPC. It found the innkeeper after I had missed him twice.
- Take the elevator upstairs for the jeweler and baker errands, which run from about level 5 to 10.
- Read the whole quest text on the elixir, because it continues after the delivery and nearly got closed unread.
- Check which fangs the jeweler wants before handing in the cougar ones.
- Craft the flag in a bag. The sewing kit needs one, and I wish it did not.
- Let the pet kill, and sit on the mount to recover mana. Regeneration is the limit at level 11.

Welcome to “The Journey of the Dwarf Regard.” Today we will continue and see where it takes us. So, I…I bought a mount. Of course, I bought it. I’m being flippant, but look, this is pretty funny. Now, this…I mean, of course, if you’ve been following Lothar here, you know that…that there’s a special animal here. I don’t see her anymore because of…Oh, there she is, right there. You can buy a riding penguin. This is the main point here. There’s also the Frostweave Sabertooth , which…is there, and it’s also a pretty good mount, but…yeah. OK. So, we begin, and…let’s say hello to this NPC. We’ll… you know, we’ll do quests in this area and see what happens. Congratulations. Emissary Trend Yours, friend. Welcome to Crestfall Reach, a mountain diamond. As a newcomer, I invite you to explore our beautiful city. All youth must visit their guild masters for training at the bottom of this path. Find the initiate Draken and the innkeeper Faltus. Draken is busy, and Faltus will help you gain a good reputation among our six great dragons so they can recognize you. They may recognize you. Go to the Glory of Aishon. Good. So, congratulations. Okay, let’s take this. Gives us a quest. Now we will race. Of course, we’re riding this… this crazy mount. I even…what’s the speed of this thing? Oh my God. Speed 75. I feel like I’m flying. It’s definitely… definitely a pleasant feeling. OK. Oh, my God. Honestly, I think I’m going too fast. OK. Let’s see. We need to talk to Draken near the Traveler’s Rest . Is this…is this where he should be? OK. Let’s…let’s do it now. Well , there’s an error in the interface. OK. I can’t read anything, but he’s the master of the necromancer guild, so it’s not hard to guess. Where is he? Where is he? Here it is , right here. Bloody Blade. That’s it. Pass this on. And he said, you know, just go and find him, right? In your Nomaguard, ignore the anxious looks you may encounter on your journey. Many people don’t like the art we practice, but I would say it’s the only true art. Life, nature, and even the elements—it’s so obvious. There is no greater mystery than death, and to master it is a reward greater than any other. But you will learn Ren Rick Rick, kid. I can teach you many skills, so get ready to learn “See you soon.” Take this mantle of our guild to protect you as you learn to conquer death itself. I strongly advise you to contact the innkeeper Fathis and the initiate Draken for work in the city. OK. So, we get 100 reputation there. There’s nothing to learn here, right? So, let’s take a look. Let’s look at the map. Yes, yes, right here. Where is this guy? I’m looking, looking, looking. I don’t see him anywhere. I have no idea. I don’t know, I haven’t done this in a while , so let’s see. I’m just checking again to make sure I don’t see him here. I feel like I’m flying really fast on this mount. I went crazy. Okay, there’s a supervisor here. Let’s ride. And let’s move down. Okay, nothing like that. No, it’s a supervisor. Okay, let’s go up here. So, we’ll continue this series, developing this. I’ll probably return mine…Oh, here it is. My series about…How do I quit this? Frosty river. I’ll probably return it, I think. Okay, let’s say hello to him. Oh, yours. Newbie, yes. Yours is what dragons say when they greet each other. This word is taken from the language of dragons. There is so much to learn. One of the first things I learned when I woke up from my human sleep was the ways of nature. Do you want to learn? Yes, I am interested in studying. My dragon father, Vinchin, the green- blooded, gave me wisdom so I could teach you. You must first go out into the world and learn more about this place and your own power. There are several tasks you can complete if you wish. I am ready to complete several tasks. Okay, the ways of nature are often confusing, as Vin Shish Vanesh, my great dragon father, says, there are interesting mushrooms, fungi out there. We have to study different dangerous types of venom sacs and diseased spiders. You need to pick mushrooms in the Mushroom Grove in the hollow outside the city . If you pick mushrooms for me, I can give them to Wenny to study. Are you interested? I am interested. Okay, so we’re taking on this challenge here. The ways of nature. Pick some mushrooms from the hollow. Okay, and then Ren Nomergod or Shuraks will explain. “Ren” means ” welcome”. I often forget that many people don’t yet know our words. Venna gave another lesson. Now she wants you to collect venom sacs from snakes in the hollows. Of course, to get the bags, you have to kill the snakes. This is not an easy task for a young man. Want to try? Yes , I want to try. Sick spiders. My father gave us a great test as our final task in learning the ways of nature. There are spiders in the hollow that have caught a terrible disease. They’re hiding, but Venna said that if I kill a few healthy spiders nearby, it might lure the sick ones out of hiding. Are you ready for this? I’m ready for this. And then…Okay, we got the assignment. So, right here. Collect five poison bags and four sick spiders. OK. So, we got his assignment. Now it was said that it was like an innkeeper or something. They’re cooking something there . Where is this innkeeper? It seems to be some type. Some type with a drop in frame rate. Okay, let’s go. Bartender, task for level 15+. What level are we at now ? 11. Okay. Let’s take a look here. So, we still have a task here. There is an inn in one of them. She’s somewhere up here. Bartender. Level 70 quest, that’s it. Let’s search further. Merchant, supply researcher. Oh, he has a task. Congratulations. Basha, friend. I am the second born of…K, the enlightened, most knowledgeable dragon of the sixth. I am to assist in the education of the Drakens and all who choose to enlighten their minds. I am an artifact collector, one of the founders of the Written Word and Travelers guilds. So we can learn from books and from life. I have a unique gift that you can use if you help me with my work or simply ask about the history of the artifacts found in these lands. Okay, help. Yes, indeed. I got…Stupid. I just got a big raise. I…Yes, indeed. Lady K gave me the gift of vision, and many artifacts I can see through the eyes of those who study them. In the eyes of those to whom they belong. This allows me to create a story that will become part of this library. If you find any artifacts in the surrounding lands, bring them to me, I will reward you, and you can add to the volumes of our great library. OK. Volumes. Many creatures, past and present, lived in these mountains, including ogres who once inhabited this very city. What exactly happened to them and their lineage is a mystery, but with time and the right artifacts, we will learn more. I can reward you if you bring me the artifacts. Then you can ask what lore and legends are available. Okay, knowledge. I have received artifacts from these lands that I can tell you about, and the library begins. OK. What happened there? Okay, let’s keep searching. This is a library, here is a quest for level 71. I’ll try to remember…I really don’t remember where this innkeeper is. So, this will take a minute. Hold down, actually, F, Control + F. Let’s sort by name. Innkeeper Faltus, here he is. Okay, where is he? Here it is, finally. I knew I missed the turn. There he is, right here. Let ‘s say hello to him. Okay, looks like we did something here. Yes, we gained some experience and three gold medals . No more guard, and welcome to my little corner of our wonderful city of Crescent Reach. I have a great selection of products, even the council visits my establishment. Council, what is council? Oh, yes, indeed. It is an honor for me when representatives of our great dragon ancestors visit my humble shop. Want to know more about the council? A city called Descendants of the Six. No more worries, yes, I want to know more. Oh, we got the item. Getting to know the council. Okay, I accept that. Close this. OK. And I’m not sure where to find out more. OK. You are truly wise. Take this note for Council Assistant Maantra. To meet the Descendants of the Six, you embark on a fantastic journey of discovery. I think, um …Astrona told me you were coming. Go upstairs, get a copy of the charter. My staff just finished writing a new set. We can barely keep up with the number of new faces who need to learn about our wonderful city. Okay, great. Now, to go upstairs, you have to use this elevator. Uh, so we’ll go there. There are, uh , there are more quests upstairs, I think. So go to the right, stand right there. Click-click. And we quickly climb up. And hopefully we’ll get out of it before it goes down. Okay, so from 5 to 10, we have quests there. Let’s take his quest too. Congratulations. Hey, look , check out my stuff and let me know if you need anything. Nothing catches the eye like one of my gorgeous rings or bracelets. They say that the human race is a race of jewelers. I am still new to this craft, but I will soon master it, matching the skill of my family. If you don’t plan on buying anything, maybe you could help me . I could help you. Hey, Karu, friend of war. Thank you. Rather, I make mistakes from time to time when creating my products. I’m running out of supplies. If you can help me get more, I would appreciate it. Okay, what else do you need? I may need some materials to make new necklaces, bracelets, and dyes. The beads are made from the sharp fangs of cave bats that live in the Hollow City. Although I…Well, the creatures may be cruel, but their teeth make for wonderful jewelry. It takes 12 teeth to make one necklace. Will you bring them to me? I’ll bring you…uh, 12… Okay, we’re talking about bat fangs, and I have cougar fangs. Okay, okay. Er, bracelets. I also make leather bracelets from these creatures. I decorate them with my own designs, a skill I feel I inherited from human heritage. The problem is that I’m almost out of skins. Could you go get 10 pest and bat skins for me? Yes. That’s it. And then we need the skins of pests and bats. Perfectly. And the dye seems to be the last thing here. Almost everything could use a little more color, right? You should see the Crescent Coast…well, before we got here, it was all dull, gray. Abomination. Anyway, I’ve been using natural dyes to diversify my own designs, and I know where you might be able to find some special bright colors. A mushroom grows in the grove , bright and colorful. I could make a nice, attractive dye. If you can get six mushroom caps, that would be great. I can capture them. And also spore fungi. Okay , that’s good. We have a few more tasks there . We’ll just hang around here, find what we can. Books on trading skills. I think this guy is the next one for another city. I can’t remember. Yes, I think we’ll have to come back to them later. I will do that. Okay, let’s go down here. And here it is , I think. Okay, here’s the guy, the disgruntled Boab. Boafe, what do you want? If you don’t have great advice on how to help me get on the council, go away. I’m not here for your entertainment. Yes, for the council of the city known as the Descendant of the Six, I am far more qualified and know my father’s art better than Ephacus, my older brother. Just because Ephacus is old doesn’t make him any better. Why my father and Emphus, the Dragon Lord of Fire and War, chose him is a mystery to me . Something needs to be done about this injustice. For the sake of the Dragon, I have a plan. Okay, what’s your plan, buddy? I have this elixir, you see. It was designed by my brother and everyone knows about it. And only the Dragon of the Athas lineage can withstand it. All I know is to deliver it to one of our proud council members named Rekish, Rekish, I don’t even know. Blue Dragon, daughter of Ushfir. I’m just making up words right now. She’ll drink it, and her throat will burn for days. The council will point fingers at Ephacus, and he will be expelled from the council. Okay, I’ll deliver it. Okay, oh, you gave me a little push too. Okay, perfect. I didn’t even have to cook it. OK. Deliver the Elixir of Life. Okay, let the flame of Atana enlighten you. Okay, that was pretty easy. Okay, fine. Here is the banker. Okay, we have some alchemy supplies. Alchemy, what do we have here ? Alchemy, everything here is alchemy. Okay, we can get out of here. Improvements for melee combat, trading skills. OK. I think we’re done here. This is a level 30 quest , a quest for trade skills, baking supplies. Will have to look at some of the others. This baker might have something for us. Ai. No more guard. A. Sorry if I’m being a distraction, but I’m very, very busy. Because of my work on Descendants of the Sixth and my own special experiments, I never have a break. There are so many needs in a new city, and new people have even more , while we try to figure out who we are. Hello, what kind of job is this? Oh, yes, the board relies on me to service all the most important meetings. I’m currently preparing wonderful meals for the next board meetings. Honestly, I’m a little behind on time , and I could use some help if you’re not busy—finding out dragon tastes is exhausting. Okay, what help do you need? The counselors love my fizzy lemonade and ask for it every time I make it for them. I promise, I don’t have enough of it , and it’s all thanks to my former assistant , Ulyan. Ulian decided that he had had enough of this city and decided to try living a little in the wild. When he left, he took my case of fizzy lemonade with him. Of course. He said he was heading to the caves outside the lower level of the city in Stone Hollow. If he has this crazy idea of living in the wild, could you please track him down and bring me at least a bottle of my fizzy lemonade? Okay, I’ll go look for him. Perfectly. That’s it. There is one more task. Say hello to him again, I think it was about experiments. It’s just boring to cook the same recipe over and over again . I want to add something special to bring out the true flavor of the dish. I’m currently working on a flan recipe. You can taste it when it’s ready if you want the flan recipe. Uh, you see why I have no idea. Well , this is not the text. flan Er, flan, flan. I do n’t see him. Oh my God, this guy is like spamming the chat. Flan, uh, so this is a baker? Baker . Okay, to be honest, I still need a few ingredients to make it perfect. You couldn’t collect them for me, huh? I’ll, uh, let you try it first if you do this. Okay, I’ll collect them. Accept. Six delicious truffles. Okay, great. And let’s take a look around. What is happening here? There ‘s a tin can behind there. We might come back for her. So these first quests will be a little lower level. And I agree with that. So we have to look at the progress of the hero’s journey. Welcome to Crescent Reach, right? This is where we get them, right? Meeting the council assistant, right? It will be right there. And then we need to talk to the council. So let’s do it. We will take other tasks from them. They must be here somewhere . Is this at this level ? We may have to go higher. This is a forge. Maybe it’s nearby. Good. Here is the advice. Okay, so here’s the council assistant, but we have to go and look…Oh, there’s no way there. Okay, here’s Rekish. Oh, wait. Just walk right over there. That’s it. Here is your potion. Just don’t drink it. That’s all. Let ‘s go. My God, look at this belt. Accept. That’s it. Good. Light. Okay, yes, it’s done. She was able to neutralize the effects and acknowledged his work. He…He’s stupid. Council Assistant . Actually, I just noticed the text here. She looks at you suspiciously as she drinks the elixir. Her face starts to turn red. She clutches her throat for a moment. A soft blue light emanates from her hands. The face becomes calm. She smiles. Boab. Those little tricks again? Ahem. You chose the wrong Fool for the target. My mother’s powers are great. The coolness of the air and water is enough to relieve the burning sensation from this elixir. I wish he would stop trying to sabotage his brother. We all have to work towards a common goal. He has to postpone…Oh, wait, wait. There’s something else there. This is a continuation of the quest. It’s good that we read this. Maybe you can prove your loyalty to us and leave this carelessness in the past? Good. Very good. Tell Boab that everything went according to plan. I showed great anger towards Iquitos, his brother. Tell him I gave you the potion. He …Tell him that I gave you this potion to give to him as recognition of the true representative. Is everything clear? Okay, perfect. Another potion. Take this to him. Here. They will learn a lesson. Okay . Now, we have to give this letter to this lady here. And then say hello to her. And then we’ll see. Enough, guard, ca n’t you see how busy I am with council business? I do n’t have time to stand here and chat with you, but thank you for your interest in the daily affairs of the Council of Six, the Lords and Ladies of Crescent Reach. Good day to you. Council business? What? Didn’t I politely suggest we talk another time? If you’re interested in the Council of Six, why don’t you take a look at your charter? He will tell you about the basics of managing this city. And now, if nothing else, I will tell you “Utgerd.” This means goodbye. Okay, familiarization with the statute. Oh, this one has a time limit. Oh, my God. Okay, talk to librarian Him Fer. Okay, he’s downstairs, so let’s do it. Here. Where did that guy go? Let’s go give him his little potion. That’s it. Hello, friend . Oh my god, you won’t believe it . Your plan worked. You’re smart, and now you’re a rabbit. Oh. God. What do we have here? We got…okay, let’s take this first. So, there is one option: we get a cleansing mask. Okay, accept. Option two , we get a dagger and shield or a dagger and wand. So, dagger and shield or shield and wand, right? So our choice here is pretty simple. Eight , 10 intelligence. And 10 intelligence. Oh, that’s a really tough choice. Can we preview that wand? Oh, she looks like a little thing. What does this one look like? I like the dagger. The dagger makes me feel… let’s see. Four stamina. Five stamina. Oh, that’s…oh , man. Let’s choose a wand, even though it looks ridiculous. She has better performance. At least I hope so. Okay, we picked up this shield. I didn’t even look at the shield’s specs because it’s so pretty. It’s a simple wooden shield, right? So, we get rewards for the Hero’s Journey quest, right? Let’s get rid of this junk. Then we have this. Look at this. All these indicators. Ideally. Perfectly. Put it right here . This is just garbage. We’ll just throw this out there. Now we’ve picked this up. Which is a million times better than that, right? We’ll take it. And we need to take it away too. This is a belt, I don’t even know if I’m wearing a belt. I have it . Yes, the garbage belt. Let’s just swap them. Oh my god, I feel like I’m getting a little healthier. OK. You , uh, you were “processed.” Okay, let’s go downstairs. Let’s find the next character. We can …we should jump here. Boom. So, librarian Hemfar. I think he’s here somewhere. This is a library, right? Yes, here he is. Now we will congratulate him. I think that was the statute, right? Uh, yeah . Missandra said you would come. Go upstairs, get a copy of the charter. My staff just finished…I just read this. OK. Above. My staff. So, is this like an object on the ground? Oh, there he is. No, it just appears when you enter. Okay, let’s put this here. Perfectly. Ahem. Let’s see. You take the city charter off the bookshelf . Your heart starts beating a little faster. I’m sure you now have the basic knowledge, return to Missandra and continue. Okay, great. We can go back upstairs. Run. Run. OK. We are here for the long haul. I, I won’t lie. This may take several days, just as the training took several days. So, it’s going to be…you know, it’s just fun. That’s the thing. Okay, let’s go. Back to you. L. Well, no more advice. You are persistent . I like it. You show a sincere interest in our wonderful city. Like… well, a genuine interest in how our wonderful city is organized. As you can clearly see for yourself, the city is not of Drakensburg origin. Want to know more about this ? Yes, I would like to know more. OK. So, there’s a book in a secret room that you have to study. Enter Grekdar’s lair on the third level and find a secret room. Once you read this book, you will have to come back to me. OK. It gets hot here, if I remember correctly. The third level, I think, has stronger mobs, but we should be fine. We’re a little… We’re a little stronger now. Okay, so this is a level 10 quest , right? There must be a hidden room somewhere here. Dirty pillowcase. Here, let’s say hello to this guy. We have what we have. From the look on your face, I’d say you wouldn’t be interested or committed enough to learn anything I could teach you. Okay, I ‘ll study. If you insist, I’ll tell you exactly what I do. As a child of Dath’anar, I intend to become a master of shadow and necromancy. I will soon rise above the rank of apprentice and become a powerful citizen of the Crescent Coast, and perhaps even replace Vak’dar or Dra in the shadows on the Council of Six. If you are interested in the ways of the dark arts, I could give you a task that exemplifies the necessary frame of mind . Okay, sample. Dark heart. There is a scaleless barbarian there who trains the Drakens. He…He has some items and ingredients with him that I need for my studies. You will have to kill him. There is no other way to force him to give up the ingredients. He…He is among the artisans. And on the second level you’re like oh my God, it gets a little annoying. Uh, on the second level you need to kill him before the guard patrolling nearby catches you. They do not approve of killing within the city walls. Then take his bag of goods and return them to me. Good. He just…It’s like asking me to go commit murder. I mean, seriously. Now look here, where is this hidden room? High filter. It seems to be this one. I can’t remember them. I can’t remember who’s being aggressive here. I don’t think there’s anyone here. Okay , is that it? Here it is. Option one, we get neither in front of us. Accept. Good. And then…Oh, it was just getting the quest. Good. We don’t …I don’t think we need to do anything here right now . We’ll come back here later, if I remember correctly. Okay, let’s go back down here. Let’s go down here. And where is she? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Where… Where… I’m confused. Here it is, here. So, this will be…Where is it? I don’t see him. I could have sworn I…Oh, I already got the cloak. Here he is. I’m already wearing it. So, the cloak gives you 100% of the extra faction points or the crystal wing, that’s the faction here. So, uh , I guess we did n’t have a raincoat before. Um, here’s the ogre’s coming of age book. I don’t know if we should do anything with her , but she’s here. Uh, I think I’m ready. Yes. Chat with the council of six when you have free time. Please behave with the utmost dignity and do not embarrass me. Okay, let’s start here. Congratulations. Newbie, you walk among the council of six. We are the firstborn of dragons from, uh , the ridge. And our task is to work and advise all the newcomers here to test their determination and loyalty to our cause. You must act in support of our parents while we are here. You dare not attack any of them. The most cruel and unpleasant death awaits you. Trial. Okay, I’ll prove my worth. I’m talking to the tailor. OK. Congratulations. You will walk around the city. Okay, it seems they’re saying the same thing. Trial. Okay, she doesn’t give me anything. Trial. Congratulations. Trial. Okay, it seems they’re all telling me the same thing . I don’t think I’ll learn anything new from anyone. OK. Nothing. Nothing new . So, we have a challenge to talk to the tailor, who seems to be somewhere around here. Banker. That’s all. Tailoring task. Tailor, who are we looking for? Malacca? Malacca? Malak, here he is. Here he is. Congratulations. Okay, we have I have a few items. What am I supposed to do here? Greetings, friend. There were so many interested and helpful people. I’m almost out of supplies for making flags. Maybe I have enough for you. Take this pattern, the dye, combine them in the sewing kit I’ll give you, and then, uh, you’ll create a basic pattern. Return the flag cloth to me and we will sew it to the old staff that serves as a flagpole. OK. So, this is the third bag, translate that, switch that. Me, I really don’t like that I have to have a separate bag for crafting. This is, like, a little annoying. That’s all. We got it. I’ll go give it to her. And we will get the dragon flag. OK. I’ll give it to one of the council members downstairs. So, it was, uh, somewhere around here. I would really like to just open the craft window while I’m in the bag. It just doesn’t make sense that I have to do it this way . Okay, give it here. Okay, the ” Prove Your Worth ” task is complete. Good. Carudro, this is a truly magnificent banner. The sewing is very high quality. I am impressed. We will place this banner in the city. Now you can contact any of our council members to learn the ways of dragons and get closer to speaking with them. OK. Well, it took a lot of effort. So, if we look at the achievements here, we’ve completed ” Welcome to the Crescent Coast ,” right? So that’s good. And we also finished “The Jealousy of Moab,” right? We have done this. And then we performed the first part of “The Council of Six.” So, do we have anything, or have we done the part of ” The Graduate of the Crescent Coast ,” right? Now, at the end we’ll get, you know, a few items. Uh, so that would be great. Actually, that’s why we do these quests— to equip ourselves. I’m not really concerned about experience right now, to be honest. It’s just not worth the effort, honestly. Uh , so we’re doing pretty well. Good. Now we should be able to talk to these guys. May the spirits greet you, Nomergard. I am the first child of Lady Missfire, the white dragon, who calls me Moonfire, Moonfire. My lady is a champion of spirits and a seeker of all things . Our lives are dedicated to the eternal world beyond our own and to the attainment of true wisdom. Do you want to know… Do you want to know more? The depth of importance of awareness of the spirit world is fundamental. Wisdom accompanies this awareness. We seek answers and try to eliminate the lies that lurk between the gray, between black and white. Through interpreting spirit messages, if you wish to seek wisdom through spirits, I can direct you to teachings and enlighten you. I wish. First of all, Nomergard, you must begin by communicating with the spirit of truth, which will appear in the Dragon Grove when you approach the runestones lying on the ground. You have to listen to everything he says, and if you show great disrespect by leaving during training, I will find out about it. Should I continue? The Spirit of Wisdom will bless you by sharing the pearls of His eternal wisdom. You will see the spirit appear as you approach the runestones on the path between the city and Dragon Grove. And then there is another task. Good. Okay, we got the stick. Okay, so let’s listen to what the spirit, the spirit of wisdom, has to say. Find and talk to Yuri, the ghost hunter. Okay, great. Okay, I got this assignment . Congratulations. My friend, this is your first lesson, Nomargard. Greetings with respect. And “Yours” is what we say to our others, my others, greetings. And “Udra” is what we say in that part. Bardenar intelligence. Okay, I’ll just click on it . I think I’m straining my voice a little here . Okay, so we have another one here. Talk to Gijulin standing aside. And use the magical enchanted parchment. Good. He hisses at me, he hisses at me. What? Why do I always have to be tormented by questions from ignorant people? Oh, foolish Eureka, don’t you want to change this vile stench? And at any cost, even the cost of your soul, for you see that the dark arts of the shadowscale can be so alluring and seductive that practitioners lose themselves in them. Okay, at any price. My father, Draken Ro, the Lord of the Void, is a lord of shadow magic who can spread his wings and fly on a razor’s edge between the incomprehensible to you. However, I can suggest that you taste the darkness to see how it tempts your senses and spirit, if you dare. Good. Shadow quest. Congratulations . Can I be… Nomargard the wise, you stand before me? Me, I want to study. Yes. Good. True, let’s take a look and understand. Yes, oh my god. That’s a lot of text. Okay, now let’s congratulate this one . Office art, challenge, accept. He gave us a torch. Now, none of them are time-limited, right ? Like, I…I’m going to fill out my task log, that’s what I’m trying to do. Okay, grove, visit. Okay, he didn’t give us a task. So, okay, let’s, uh, go kill some spiders and stuff , because I, I’m a little exhausted from these tasks. So let’s go here. And we will go this way , into the lowlands. So , we need spiders, minds, skins, bats. Okay, we have a whole bunch of stuff to kill here. Therefore. Let’s see what we have here. Crevice spider. So, if we come here, there must be a spider here. Sick, great. Let’s leave it to ourselves. And there is This named? No, it is not named. Okay, spider web, that’s needed. That’s it. Hollow snake, we need it. Okay, snake bags, let’s begin. It is necessary. Whole scales. So what I want to do is let’s collect the loot. Okay, great. Now let’s put on a dark package. Snake venom , we’ll need it. Here, this is edible, this is crafting material for later. There’s a dragon. Is there a type four? It doesn’t apply as quickly as we would like. I need something like an instant spell . Because they are lower level, right? I don’t. I don’t really have any difficulties here. An item for trade. My pet has to handle almost everything here alone . Okay, but I don’t see any bats. OK. There is a fisherman there. Dragon egg. Good. What other subject is there here? What about downstairs? Oh, here we are. That’s it. This is what we wanted to see. Spire. We have to kill four of them, I think . Enchanted essence of shadow. Oh, there she is. Find the enchanted essence of the shadow. Hap. And take it to that guy. Good. This thing glows. I think there might be an object on it. Golden dragon. It is necessary. Perfectly. No, there’s nothing on it . OK. There should be a revival up here , right? Here is the patient. Here is this one. Here is the snake. Oh, the crescent moon. I think I can sell both. And here is another patient. Perfectly. This concludes our quest. How many snake bags did we collect? Three? I’m going to throw all this junk away. So, this quest is complete. Here’s another one. I’m sure it’s all just merchandise for sellers. And we need another snake . I’m surprised there aren’t that many snakes here. I definitely expected more snakes. Okay, so we’ll be back here for our last snake in a minute. So, the first cave is right here, but we need to…We can handle these cougars. They’re level eight, which means, I mean, they’re easy, but they’re not…uh…That’s it. Okay, we need cougar fangs . Let’s take them, and the fleece caps too. This is for trading skills later. Okay, here’s the first cave. What is this here ? Sporling? Spurling caps. I don’t know if they’re all the same here. Okay, a sporling hat, perfect. And then delicious truffles. Yes, that’s for another task. Perfectly. And OK, I guess we get what we need. I have no…I have no mana at all. Oh, so we get about 7% for murder. I mean, it’s…it’s not that bad, right? Come on. I’ll sit on my penguin here. Okay, go ahead. I think it will give me a little more mana regeneration, and I think the stats. Yeah, I have about 11 mana regeneration, so it’s not terrible, I guess . Come on. Okay, let’s take this. Oh, we lost the “Dark Pact.” Come on. That’s right …that’s right, the lack of normal mana regeneration sucks. Um…but we know we still have a lot, a lot of work to do here. That’s it. Okay , let’s go. Let’s see if there are any snakes here, because we want to complete these quests quickly. Uh, there should be a snake here, but they’re not visible. OK. What about…Oh, look. Maybe a snake…Oh, here’s a snake. Okay, and this one should give us a snake …snake bag, right? Okay, let’s go and hand it all over. This is a ridiculous riding animal. This… this is just absolutely ridiculous. Okay, Eris is right there. So, he wants bags. Let’s give them to him. I completed this, which gives us a mana regeneration potion. Perfectly. Now we can greet him, and he will give us another one, which is supposed to be a health potion. That’s it. Let’s take them, put them with the rest of the potions we got during the tour. That’s it, and I think we’ll finish for today. Uh, my …my throat is actually starting to hurt. That’s why I make fewer videos. Uh, my voice really gets to me. It hurts to talk for a long time. Uh, so, uh, I’m working on it. I don’t know what to do, but uh, we’ll definitely do another one. I’ll probably switch to a twice-weekly format instead of weekly because I’m making less content on EverQuest Legends until they release something new, because there’s literally nothing for me to do there. But, uh, maybe there’s something there for you . Uh, it’s just that I, you know, I, uh, well, I play this game a lot, so there’s not much left for me there . But, uh, you know, we’ll get to that someday. But, uh, thank you so much for watching and have a great day.
More from Nomeregard's Journey
Progress in the Reach
A full day of Crescent Reach quest running at level 11 on Lethar: cougar fangs, mushrooms, lemonade, a torch and a ceremonial blade, then a long and vague hunt for the Spirits of Wisdom and Truth in Dragon Grove. The Necromancer is at 204 intelligence with one point of mana regeneration and a new pet on the way, and there is an announcement of a separate Shaman series on a live server.
Lethar, We Come
Starting a Necromancer from nothing on Lethar, a quiet live EverQuest server with no pick zones. The tutorial for baseline gear and platinum, a Legends UI skin ported across, and a mercenary the server will not let me hire.
Let's Try That Again
Back the next day with the tutorial actually playable, the Lethar fresh-start lockbox claimed, and the first Necromancer spells bought. Still no mercenary, and no Defiant gear on this server at all.
