* Coronation - (Weapon) +5 Morningstar, Persuasion, Greater Elf Bane, Control Undead (CL:14, 1/rest)
* Deathnip - (Weapon) +5 Heavy Pick (Crit: 19-20/x4), Maiming, Seeker +8
* Phosphor - (Weapon) +5 Heavy Mace, Sunburst, Everbright, Righteous, Impact, Blinding Flash (CL:?, 3/rest)
* Razorend - (Weapon) +5 Shortsword, Bleed, Greater Magical Beast Bane, Keen, Tendon Slice
* Serrulae - (Weapon) +5 Battleaxe, Vertigo +10, Transmuting, Giant Bane
* Sever - (Weapon) +5 Dwarven Axe, Keen, Limb Chopper, Destruction
* Skiver - (Weapon) +5 Dagger, Archmagi, Greater Arcane Lore, Efficient Metamagic - Extend I, Efficient Metamagic - Empower II
* Twinblade - (Weapon) +5 Bastard Sword (Base dmg: 2d8), Greater Goblinoid Bane, Greater Orc Bane, Anarchic, Axiomatic
These are rewards. You collect 8 tomes to claim one of them;
* Tome: Legend I (icon:I) (position:1) drops at Cinnis chest.
* Tome: Legend V (icon:II) (position:2) drops at Cholthulzz chest.
* Tome: Legend VIII (icon:III) (position:3) drops at Mentau chest.
* Tome: Legend IV (icon:IV) (position:4) drops at High Priest of Vol.
* Tome: Legend II (icon:V) (position:5) drops at Mentau and Cinnis chest.
* Tome: Legend VI (icon:VI) (position:6) drops at Cholthulzz and High Priest of Vol chest.
* Tome: Legend VII (icon:VII) (position:7) drops at Cinnis and Cholthulzz chest.
* Tome: Legend III (icon:VIII) (position:8) drops at Mentau and High Priest of Vol chest.
It is not like each time you run the quest, last chest gives you a tome. Run 5 to 7 times, get 1 tome and pray hard so you don't get the same tome again. Basically, you have to run the Litany of Dead quest more than 5x8 times. The closer you are (lacking 2 tomes maybe) madder you will get.
Yes, and for what? Any of those will be your ultimate last weapons? No. Any greensteel better? Yes. Crafting greensteel easier? Yes.
Don't forget dying at those sonic traps after first redname many times. Since they are not disarmable, forget about running in elite or hard mode. Solo in normal, grow brain cancer because of boredom. Because soloing and going first through those sonic traps is easier. Party is pain.
Also, before this incredible grind, also grind at orchard for flagging it.
MY SUGGESTION;
1. Either make rewards fitting.
2. Or make it so tomes would drop more frequently.

btw its very easy to get past the force traps in the pit on any difficulty without getting hit once you learn the pattern....

* Deathnip - (Weapon) +5 Heavy Pick (Crit: 19-20/x4), Maiming, Seeker +8
* Skiver - (Weapon) +5 Dagger, Archmagi, Greater Arcane Lore, Efficient
These two weapons are the only reason ppl farm for tomes, both of which are used very regularly in end game.
My suggestion would to buff up the other weapons.

Skiver is endgame gear for wizzies/sorcs.
Deathnip is one of the best Epic trash mob beaters you can get.
Everything else is pretty meh for the amount of effort involved. As Jakarr suggests, buffing the others would make page farming a lot more attractive.
Something like:
* Coronation - (Weapon) +5 Morningstar, Impact, Persuasion, Greater Elf Bane, Improved Shattermantle, Stunning +10, Control Undead (CL:14, 1/rest) (Epic Drow beater)
* Deathnip - (Weapon) +5 Heavy Pick (Crit: 19-20/x4), Maiming, Seeker +8
* Phosphor - (Weapon) +5 Heavy Mace, Sunburst, Everbright, Righteous, Impact, Brilliance, Radiant Blast, Blinding Flash (CL:?, 3/rest) (Undead/Ooze beater)
* Razorend - (Weapon) +5 Shortsword, Bleed, Greater Magical Beast Bane, Keen, Tendon Slice, Wounding, Puncturing (Guaranteed WoP instead of relying on random drops or the AH)
* Serrulae - (Weapon) +5 Battleaxe, Vertigo +10, Transmuting, Greater Giant Bane, Greater Telekinetic (DC 27), Thunderclap (as per Mad Lute Thunderclap ability) (Tripmonkey weapon)
* Sever - (Weapon) +5 Dwarven Axe, Keen, Limb Chopper, Improved Destruction, Tendon Slice 10%, Crippling, Greater Slowburst (DC 30) (Ultimate slowdown)
* Skiver - (Weapon) +5 Dagger, Archmagi, Greater Arcane Lore, Efficient Metamagic - Extend I, Efficient Metamagic - Empower II
* Twinblade - (Weapon) +5 Bastard Sword (Base dmg: 2d8), Greater Goblinoid Bane, Greater Orc Bane, Greater Evil Outsider Bane, Anarchic Burst, Axiomatic Burst, Silver, Cold Iron, Pure Good, Proficiency: Bastard Swords (Demon/Devil beater)

These items came out over 3 years ago in Module 5. This was before green steel crafting was even in the game. So comparing it to 3+ years worth of newer material, rewards and epic items, of course they will seem a bit underwhelming. But they were the cat's meow at the time.
Skiver and Nips are still situationally useful even now. But yes, there are numerous other options that get relatively similar results in today's DDO.
The big question to ask nowadays is whether these items go epic if Necro 4 ever goes epic. That's the only reason why I've been holding onto a full Litany tome set of my own.

lol, We used to farm this quest on elite when the cap was 14, and they have toned it down a little since then, it's not hard at all bud. As for the items, Skiver is still pretty nice for caster and deathnip is one of the highest DPS one handed weapons against no dr no fort mobs (Kinda screams "use me to kill epic trash" doesnt it?)
The other weapons were all kind of meh when they came out, as much as I would like it I don't feel this nearly 3 year old quest needs a revisit

The pages are tradeable. If you're missing page X, you probably have 2 of page Y and can swap with someone, or visit the AH.
Yes, and for what? Any of those will be your ultimate last weapons? No. Any greensteel better? Yes. Crafting greensteel easier? Yes.
By all means, point out a better weapon than the Skiver for a spellcaster. Obviously in certain circumstances, a different effect might be nice (say, Shattermantle and Spell Pen VII when casting instant death spells), but overall? Godlike.
Don't forget dying at those sonic traps after first redname many times.
1) They are force traps.
2) I've run Litany for a pair of Skivers, which comes out to about 175-190 runs (I kinda lost track). I've run it on all difficulties except casual, and in all that time I've died ONCE to those traps. It was my first time.
Since they are not disarmable, forget about running in elite or hard mode.
After about my 4th trip through the traps, I learned the pattern, and I don't get hit by them at all. You could put them on Super-Duper-Ultra-Epic mode where they inflict 20,000 damage, and it wouldn't kill me.
Maybe you just suck.

Wait a minute, does Twinblade really gives you Bastard sword proficiency?
Coz it's not noted in DDOWIKI
if that's true my 2hf might use it during shield tanking

Only more recent additions to the game have difficulty affect drop rates (since the advent of F2P or later), unless someone went back and changed things and didn't mention it to the players.

the mentioned above was an example of what it SHOULD be to be on par with modern power creep gear.
As for the litany page turn in items. Nip and skiver are STILL the best of their league after +years of the mod5 coming out, and for that reason alone, should be worth the hefty time it takes to get them. None have augement slots, nor greensteel stuffz and they are still very very good/dream gear.
I'm not saying this becuase I already have them, but I do understand your pain farming them. I just recently got mine, but had to do some decent trading to get it.
Just man up, and keep working.

Skiver is really a nice item for my cleric, mostly for the 200 SP Archmagi (Arcane Lore etc etc is also nice).
Honest question, what do you mean by "pain farming them", "decent trading" and "keep working"? I'm planning to farm this, is it really grindy? Any figures that I need to expect?
I am planning to farm this with 2 of my friends, we are going to be a Level 16, 3 member static party, Pally, Barb and a Cleric.
Thoughts?

This is one of the worst grinds prior to epic. Back in the old days it took about 50 litany of the dead runs to get one tome set and from what I gather nothing has changed i.e. a tome page drops about 1 out of every six runs. Only comparable old grinds was sovereign rune in the Reaver Refuge and Titan raid. They fixed the refuge system and titan raid gear is virtually all outdated now, but not much attention has been paid to the Necro. I am not sure what their epics plans are for this - nobody really knows.

Generally these were the end-game for mod 5, and the grind for them still exist, I'd say 50 runs gets you close but would also state usually trading involved needed also. Most the gear is antiquated ... shroud then later epic saw to doing such ... Epic a greenblade sooner than a Skiver. Unless the devs have any plan for introducing epic necro - which does not seem to be their focus - I see little payoff for the time and I have near full set pages laying in the bank.

Ouch. 50 runs... 50 runs.. It will be 3 toons running this and all of their pages will be mine (mwahaha), would that cut it to let's say, 17 runs? :D
Oh man, that is still a lot. :(
Regarding the greenblade than the skiver, I am really after the Archmagi 200 SP of the skiver. So the suggestion is I rather be grinding somewhere else? Like Shroud?
Irinis
12-28-2010, 08:50 PM
5x8 to get all? Hahaha. I've had one, count it, ONE, tome page drop for all my characters in flagging and some grinding. Admittedly, I didn't grind very much. But when you run 4x on 6 characters and then run 4x on 3 characters to help someone else flag, and get ONE piece? You don't feel much like trying your luck. 36 runs for one tome page.

1. Either make rewards fitting.
2. Or make it so tomes would drop more frequently.
Yup, the Necro4 collectible turn-ins (not just weapons, but shields and hats too) are in dire need of a rebalance. Of course, there are many other items in DDO with problems (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?p=2908959#post2908959), although this list is an especially clear case.
Yes, and for what? Any of those will be your ultimate last weapons? No. Any greensteel better? Yes. Crafting greensteel easier? Yes.
Well, there's two or three different problems going on here.
For one thing, you might not know this, but Litany of the Dead is a much older dungeon than Shroud. So these items weren't in competition with greensteel back when they were released. (And in fact, the first release of Shroud didn't provide the same quality of weapons it does now either...). They are a clear example of "ex-endgame items": items for characters of the highest possible level can acceptably take a long time to get, because characters will be stuck at that level with no other place to advance. But if the level cap is later raised, then it no longer makes sense for it to take a long time to get something that you can level-past quickly.
There's also a bigger problem: most of these items were bad to start with, regardless of later gear arriving to obsolete it. The maces and dagger are simply sad. (Among other problems, the designer forgot that items from a fungible list need closer parity than if they were random drops)
PS. There's also a gameplay problem with the dungeon: forking it into four pieces after the first half wasn't a good idea/

As much as teh grind for tome pages is a bummer, the grind for the sigil can be even more infuriating at times. That's the part that needs a look at IMO. Having to run teh 4 pre-req quests more than 4 times each is a bit rediculous. But also very common.
That said, I am certain everyone would likie to see a slight bump in the drop rates. They have always been low. Especially since more than one of the branches is difficult to solo.

I ran this on my cleric repeatedly with a friend. Perhaps I got lucky, but I ran most to near-ransack and one past ransack over less than 2 weeks and got about 10-12 pages, including a full set. Despite going through one wing at a time, over and over again until I got all the pages I wanted from that wing, I only hit ransack on High Priest of Vol because I didn't want to have to run Cholthulzz anymore and had all pages but VI which drops from those two. After that, I ran Cholthulzz and got the page before hitting ransack there. My very nice and helpful friend got all the spares, which she sold on the AH for relatively cheap, although she still got well over 1 million plat from the deal and I got my Skiver.
Basically, running with multiple people who are passing pages to you is a good way to cut down the grind significantly. I'd just say...if you get duplicate pages and aren't going to try trading those duplicates, give 'em to your friends to sell on the AH for plat. It's a nice way to say thanks for helping. :)
I also recommend starting by running all four and evaluating the ease of getting through each wing. Then, go through a wing until you get the page that comes only from that wing (and pick up any others you get along the way, of course) and then switch to a new wing once you have the unique page. Once you get all four one-wing-only pages (positions 1-4), look at what additional pages you have and figure out if any of the bosses can provide more than one additional needed page. If so, run that one. If there are multiple bosses that will provide more than one additional needed page, run the easiest one that provides the most benefit.
It can take a lot of runs, but after you get the hang of it, the quest goes *very* fast. The only part that drags on at all is having to wait for the gears to light up. Otherwise, the best bet for a cleric is to go into pure nuke-mode. Run ahead, draw a lot of aggro, drop a blade barrier, watch everything die. It's an effective method. IIRC I was running the main quest in 6-8 minutes and the various wings in 5-10 additional minutes.
As for Skiver versus Greenblade...compared to the non-epic version, there's no comparison: Skiver is hands down better unless you're planning on meleeing with the weapon. Compared to the epic version, Skiver is probably a bit worse, but Skiver is easier to get than an Epic Greenblade. The Archmagi is definitely nice, but the Greater Arcane Lore is really what sells this piece of equipment. Blade Barriers with critical ticks are awesome; I've heard some say it's worse with Update 8 but I prefer it this way. The Metamagic enhancements are really nice as well.

I was actually so unlucky I had to make 140-150 runs just to get one tome set. I soloed it alot except doomsphere which was hard for me to pull off with a cleric (Cinnis being the easiest). Sucked that one of my guildies started it after me and finished before me, lucker....
The sonic traps usually don't even get to activate, they are too slow. Just don't fail at the dragon.....

I agree the drop rate needs upping.
It is also easier if you have more than one high level character so you can swap for an easier run at certain wings.

alternately, do what i did:
option a: farm tome pages... heck no!
option b: farm anything that you can sell. tapestries, GH relics, dragon scales, etc. *buy* the tome pages. only have to run litany 4 times per char/life. <--- sign me up!
there's far more variety to being able to spend time tracking down the various sellable items that are worth large amounts of money. yes, they are crazy stupid expensive. but ultimately, i can't think of a better use for my in-game gold than cutting out the boring parts of the game where i can. i don't *want* to run litany 50 or more times. that's just boring. i would *much* rather run a large assortment of other content, earn some plat, and *buy* the danged tome pages that i need.
so my advice to anyone who wants a skiver or deathnip is this:
go to the market section of the forums for your server. advertise that you're looking for tome pages. search the auction house for 'cheap' tome pages (i say 'cheap' because the cheapest ones i ever bought were still around 200k plat as i recall, which is likely not cheap to many people), advertise for them in trade chat. and save yourselves from the hours-long grind for the weapon of your dreams. (that said, i wouldn't describe litany of the dead as being *hard*, merely really really really dull. but hey, if running a horrendously dull quest over and over and over doesn't bother you, go ahead and farm it. me, i play for fun, and i'd rather take the byproducts of me having fun (plat, sellable items) and convert it into skipping the dull parts of the game (ie grinding for tome pages in litany) so that i only ever have to do the fun stuff for the most part.

There's no perhaps about it.
The first time I ran tome pages, I ransacked all 4 bosses each week for 6 weeks. In order to complete my set, I still had to buy 2 of them, and trade for another (I did end up with a couple of duplicates).

The only thing Turbine needs to fix with this quest are the tome page names so they match the icon/position. It's ******** that the name "Tome Legend V" doesn't match the icon/position (II). Remove the pointless confusion already.

I've been remiss and had skipped Litany/Abbot until recently - got sigils built, just never ran it. I found a group that was farming and tagged along last night for 4 runs to flag one of my toons (finally) for Abbot. Beginning of the run the leader says "ok, this is my last set of runs - done this too many times tonight - we'll hit all 4 sides and show the new guy everything. I'm still missing 5 and 7 but those will have to wait after this, I'm toast".
Great guys, we blitzed through each of the 4 sides real quick. I pulled the only two pages (#s 5 and 7), and I passed them each to the dude showing me around.
I figured that was a small price to pay for the easy education. I'm sure that beginner's luck won't hold, but that's ok. I'm pretty sure I can farm this easily enough now. I'm not 100% on how to beat all the bosses but I think I can muddle through alone and definitely in a group.

Changes in red
The only one I thought was a problem was Twinblade, how you got a demon beater from a weapon forged between goblinoids and orcs I have no clue. Making it a Anarchic Burst, Axiomatic Burst, Holy Burst, Unholy Burst is going to make it a powerful bastard sword worth the grind because unless you are fighting a true neutral opponent, they are going to be taking 2d6+5+str. mod+2d6 minimum just for being one step outside neutral with an extra 2d6 against someone who is of chaotic evil, chaotic good, lawful evil, or lawful good.
Also changes the usual only person with X can use this unless you have Y umd because UMD doesn't change the fact that a paladin will still take two negative levels from this item from and evil weapon and chaotic weapon.

I grinded for a Skiver back when Litany first came out. It was quite the grind, but so was Dragon Scale Robes for my caster - but worth it as I still use the Skier all the time! Also, TR'ing him getting it at lvl 14 was sweet!
With a good 3 man-team you should be fine. Also, you are a little over level, so you may not get a ton of XP, but some.
The nice thing is there are four sides you need to do at least once, and that will mix things up a bit as the sides are quite different...
Good luck with getting Tome pages in those chests!
