The Lost Quest Guide

Hello from the future! Word. So this thread was necroed after a few years of gathering dust, so I figured I would do a quick history for nostalgia's sake. Way back in '07 the forum mods decided to hold a contest for player written strategy guides and player guides. At the time there was nothing like this. The ddowiki didn't have a comprehensive quest guide and it was before spyderwolf was making his videos. I decided that this would be a great tool for myself and other players, so I set to it. In the end it took 3rd place in the contest, after SableShadow's Notes of a Dancing Rogue, and MysticTheurge's Ask a Loremaster. We each got the forum title "Scholar Of Adventure" and the other two got some other ingame gifts or something.

Anyways, fast forward a couple years and the mods come up with the compendium. In order to bring more traffic there they decided to copy the winning guides to the compendium. But joke was on them, I got an email telling me that there was too much info to move the Lost Quest Guide over to the compendium and it would take too many man hours for them to do it, so this guide wouldn't make it over there. Also the editors over at ddowiki were beginning to get the quests section filled out and the wiki was really becoming the go to source for that kind of info. While I'd like to think that some of my project here helped them to make that resource better, I know that those folks do a huge amount of work to keep that wiki awesome. Still, I tried to keep this thread going for a bit longer as it was my pet project.

Fast forward a few more years and I've stopped updating at all really, the wiki crew has more than done a great job filling this niche and I prefer to spend my time playing. Then ddo forums make a big change in software and all the old links get broken. This guide I think helped quite a few folks over the years, but it is out of date, and I didn't really see a need to spend the hours necessary to fix it all.

So now here we are in the future. DDO has gone thru many devs and ownerships. I am still here and playing, at least from time to time, and I still enjoy the game. I've made some great friends. Have some great memories. I plan to continue that. Cheers to you all! Everybody Drink!

Last Updates: 11/08/09

So as you have probably noticed, I am no longer maintaining this guide. Many of the walkthroughs are still valid, and can hopefully continue to help guide you through the trickier spots of older quests. Perhaps someday I will come back through and clean it all up and give it an overhaul, add all the new quests. But probably not. It's a huge project and I have found that I would rather spend my gaming time, well, gaming. I am always happy to share my quest knowledge though, so if you ever have a specific question, and don't mind waiting a bit for an answer, feel free to pm me. Also, I play on Sarlona and I am never anonymous. If I am not busy leading raids or whatnot, I am happy to spend a few minutes talking about questing or character builds or whatever. My characters are in my sig, or just ask one of my guildies to direct you to me.

The purpose of this guide is to help to familiarize a player with a quest. It is also to help you determine what quest you want to run, what classes you may want with you, what the rewards might be. There will be spoilers in this guide, so do not continue reading if you do not want to have the veils of mystery lifted.

Quests are organized by criteria (level, favor, chain) and then alphabetically. Quests beginning with the word ‘the’ will be alphabetized by the second word in the quest.

This guide is listed throughout this thread. The links below will connect to single posts to make navigating easier.

The Lost Quest Guide - Outline

The purpose of this guide is to help to familiarize a player with a quest. It is also to help you determine what quest you want to run, what classes is you may want with you, what the rewards might be. There will be spoilers in this guide, so do not continue reading if you do not want to have the veils of mystery lifted.

If you would like to contribute any knowledge to the quest guide, or perhaps fix an error, please post here on our forums, or PM Lost Leader on the DDO forums.

Disclaimer: DDO is an actively changing game, where the developers will come back and give a tweak here and there to make things more playable or more interesting. Information here could become obsolete with the curl of a developer’s finger. This doesn’t happen often, but it does happen from time to time. (Examples: new loot tables, new spells, monster changes and such, can all change the validity of some information contained herein.)If this guide becomes outdated, please let us know by posting on our forums, or PM'ing Lost Leader on the DDO forums. We will update it with the correct information as soon as possible.

Quests are organized by level and then alphabetically. Quests beginning with the word ‘the’ will be alphabetized by the second word in the quest.

Layout

Quest Name
(Quest Chain, if any, and what part)

Quest Giver: The name and location of the quest giver
Level: the level and type (Solo/Party/Raid)
Patron: The Patron and the point value (normal/hard/elite)
Length: Duration assigned to the quest at the door (not always exact, but an indicator of time you should plan for)
Entry Point: Where the entrance to the quest is located
Prereqs: Any requirements to log or run a quest
Recommended Party:
This will include if there are any statistic or class requirements for completion or optionals in a quest. It will also include what I feel is a good party for the quest. This is not to say it can not be run with another mix, this is just a guideline. Most quests I have qualified with one of two settings. Any or Standard.
--Any: These quests are well within the capabilities of a party of the same level. As such, any group of six should be able to complete it. In a group without a healing class, all players should be responsible for self-healing items.
--Standard: A standard group by my definition is a Tank, Cleric, Sorc or Wiz, Rogue and two DPS or support extras (these can be doubles of other types). A bard is always welcome.
Base Experience: The base experience point value of the quest
Quest Info:
--Creatures: a general idea of what type of monsters to expect. This will not give the exact types, so it won’t say all class types of the kobolds you are facing, or the specific race of spiders, but will say kobolds and spiders
--Traps: will say what types of traps to expect, but not dc or location. This will help determine if you want a trapsmith in the party

Walkthrough:

A general walkthrough with a few pointers. Some will give step by step instructions to help through a difficult quest (Ex. The Pit), others will just give you a general idea to help you remember a previous run, or help you form a strategy (Ex. Stromvauld’s Mines).

End Reward: This will say whether a quest has a reward or not, and if it has any static loot in the end reward

Common DDO jargon used in this guide:

Agro: Aggression. This means you have the attention of the badguy.
Caster: Wizard or Sorcerer (sometimes bards) This means an arcane spell caster
DPS: Damage Per Second. A dps character is built for high and fast damage output. Barbarian, Ranger, Rogue, sometimes fighter, monk or paladin, occasionally casters will build for high dps (theirs is limited by a power bar)
DR: Damage reduction. This will usually be listed as how much, and then what will by pass. So 10/Silver is a damage reduction of 10 damage per weapon hit, but a silver weapon will bypass it. Spell damage is not affected by DR
Healer: A character made to assist the party by keeping their health full. Stereotypically this means cleric. Bards also can be made to heal, and Paladins and Rangers both have access to cure spells at levels 4 and beyond (though they can use cure wands at lower levels) In the case of warforged, any arcane caster with a repair spell could also be considered a healer.
Tank: Usually fighters or paladins, sometimes rangers, monks and barbarians, often with a couple levels of rogue. A class built to be taking hits. High AC, High Hitpoints and hopefully high saving throws. The best of them will use intimidate, because they won’t do as much damage as the dps types, but will want to be the ones getting attacked.
Red-Named: Main boss type, with a large list of inherent immunities. These include immunities to charm, death effects, hold (and similar effects like flesh to stone), level draining, paralyze, stat draining, stun, trip.
SR: Spell Resistance. You roll, add your caster level, add any spell penetration items or feats. If your total is higher than the spell resistance your spell gets through.

Added a small quest flagging guide, since some of the more common questions I am asked by friends are what is needed for the raids. Though they usually are asking about The Reaver's Fate, or now, Accursed Ascension, I went ahead and did a short guide on all of them.

At this point I am still workin on the walkthroughs for the Orchard quests, and hopefully will have Litany completed soon. Still helping guildies get flagged

[Lost_Leader]

Orchard Quests and Litany of The Dead now have their walkthrough's completed. They are under the level 14 and 15 listing.

I would love some feedback on the Inferno Walkthrough. It is a complicated quest to explain and guide through text, I want to be sure my guide there is understandable and clear. Please tell me how it works for you, should you use it

Edit: The Inferno Walkthrough is now a .html instead of a .txt -silly me.

[Lost_Leader]

Updated with some new information after the most recent dev tweaking.

Added a new Favor section. On this page I put in all of the Favor rewards, and a quest listing organized by Favor Patrons. Each Quest has a link to the quest walkthroughs.

Added a new Quest Chains section, so you can search which leg of the chain a particular quest is.

As always, any feedback, new info, updates, corrections are all welcome.

[Garth_of_Sarlona]

Silver Flame Lesser Healing Potion. This potion will heal you for 100 HP and reduce all of your stats by ten for 30 seconds. This could make you helpless, or in the case of low con, it could kill you. It is great for a between fight heal. I have also experienced drinking this potion in a city area, the first time after a death, and I got the message: "A good rest has removed 222 points of XP debt. You suffer 24 points of damage from Disintigrate. You attempt to save versus Disintigrate. You roll an 8 (+39): save!" I tried to replicate this effect but wasn't able to. It was after I had logged in, so that is possible to have had an effect? dunno.

The XP debt message was just because you logged in. The disintegrate is probably because you drunk a Potion of Wonder instead of a Silver Flame potion by accident - they look the same.

Just FYI, the name of this guide caused me to dismiss it completely, assuming it was some sort of reference to old quests that were out of game, or some such.

It is only now that I realize it was named after a person....

Just FYI, the name of this guide caused me to dismiss it completely, assuming it was some sort of reference to old quests that were out of game, or some such.

It is only now that I realize it was named after a person....

Certainly not the affect I was going for. Named after a person and a guild, yes. I was also thinking a guide to help the lost.

When I originally started writing the guide, I only had in it a few 'trouble' quests. They were listed individually on my guild forums. I never intended a large public guide, it was always more for friends and guildies. The game guide contest was a catalyst for me to flesh out the guide with all of the quests and make it public for those who would find it useful, and as a nice perk get a cool forum title. I wanted the guide to keep it's roots in what it was originally intended for, though, so I kept the name association to my guild and friends.

Happily, this guide placed in 3rd in the contest, so it has received some notoriety. Hopefully this and word of mouth will help to bring it to players who would be helped by the guide.

I will continue to work on the guide, throughout my gaming career here. There are still a couple of quest walkthroughs that need some more fleshing out. There will be new quests released, and old quests revamped. As always, any feedback, fixes, updates are welcome. Please feel free to post or PM me.

Unfortunately on the name, well that's one thing I can't change... and I am not sure I would if I could, simply because it is a tribute to my guild and friends.

Oh, and to those who just swing by with a low-star rating (my average has dropped from 13 rating with a 4.8 average to 16 ratings with a 4.1) I would appreciate any constructive feedback you would like to offer, rather than just an anonymous bad score. If there is something I can do to make the guide a better resource that you are thinking of, please share it with me.

HOW TO GET RAID READY

Accursed Ascension

First speak to Sir Rohine Stiedra in the Northern Necropolis camp. He will give you a Sigil: Frame, and bestow the Litany of the Dead quest. The Litany of the Dead is the pre-raid to the Accursed Ascension, in which you face the Black Abbot. In order to access the LotD, you must acquire the eight pieces of the sigil, which you can drag into your open Sigil: Frame. Once you have all eight pieces in the frame, return it to Sir Rohine, who will take the frame, remove the eight pieces he needs, and return the frame to you with any extra pieces you may have acquired. Doing so, he will also advance the LotD, and you can now enter the Black Masoleum. The Sigil Pieces are found in the end chests of the four Orchard Quests.(It is possible to stack extras of the same piece, but they are not tradable once they are removed from a chest.) From left to right, the pieces are:

1 - Right Wing. Only found in the Desecrated Temple of Vol.
2 - Left Wing. Only found in the Fleshmaker's Laboratory.
3 - Right Frame. Only found in Inferno of the Damned.
4 - Left Frame. Only found in the Ghosts of Perdition.
5 - Left Pincer.
6 - Center Frame.
7 - Eye of the Abbot.
8 - Right Pincer.
The 5th through the 8th pieces have the possibility of dropping from any of the four Orchard Quests.

You must complete the Litany of the Dead Pre-Raid and defeat all four of the end bosses. This requires running the pre-raid four times, each time choosing a different path via the dragon by answering the questions with a specific set of answers. Once all four end bosses are defeated you can enter the Ascension Chamber and take on the Black Abbot in the Accursed Ascension raid.

The Hound of Xoriat

There are no prerequisites to be flagged for this Raid. (It required a server wide unlocking when module 7 was released, but now that all servers have unlocked it, all characters have access to this raid and the other raid in the Subterraen, Vision of Destruction.)

The Reaver's Fate

First speak to Crag, the stone giant. He wanders around the bonfire in northwestern Gianthold. He tells you to join the three giant brigades. In order to do so, you must complete a quest for each of the three giant generals in the Gianthold. Blaze, the fire giant, bestows Madstone Crater. Jorgundal, the stone giant, bestows Crucible. Nimbus, the cloud giant, bestows the Prison of the Planes. Complete these three quests and return to Crag.

Crag now needs a very substantial bribe, to get him to allow you into the Tor. (Gianthold Tor is the Pre-Raid for The Reaver's Fate.) What he wants is 20 of each type of relic found scattered throughout the Ruins of Gianthold. The only places you can find these relics is in the quests and open area of the Gianthold. No relics will ever drop in a ransacked chest. What and where to find them:

All relic types can drop in the outdoor area (Ruins of Gianthold).

Dragon Relics:
-Prison of the Planes: The end chest will give 1d3 relics. The other two chests have a small chance to drop 1.
-Foundation of Discord: The end chest will drop 1 relic. Other chests have a small chance to drop 1.
-A Cry for Help: The end chest will drop 1 relic. Other chests have a small chance to drop 1.

Elf Relics:
-Crucible: Each of the end three chests has a good chance to drop 1. Other chests have a small chance to drop 1.
-Cabal for One: The end chest will drop 1 relic. Other chests have a small chance to drop 1.
-Feast or Famine: The end chest will drop 1 relic. Other chests have a small chance to drop 1.

Giant Relics:
-Madstone Crater: The end chest will give 1d3 relics. The other two chests have a small chance to drop 1.
-Trial by Fire: The end chest will drop 1 relic. Other chests have a small chance to drop 1.
-Maze of Madness: The end chest will drop 1 relic. Other chests have a small chance to drop 1.

Once you give Crag 20 of each relic type, he will let you into the Tor. Now go Tell Cydonie about your progress, and she will bestow the quest Gianthold Tor. You must complete this quest, and then proceed to defeat all three of the optional dragons. Once the quest and the three dragons have been defeated, you will permanently be flagged to enter The Reaver's Fate. It is no longer neccessary to gather more relics, or to defeat the dragons again. In addition, you can enter and do the pre-raid, Gianthold Tor, any time you wish.


The Shroud

In order to enter the Shroud, you must reassemble the Shavarath Signet Stone and take it to (dude). In order to create the Signet Stone, you must get all five of the pieces. One Piece is located in the end chest in each of the five quests in the Twilight Vale.

Shavarath Stone of Victory drops in Coalescence Chamber.
Shavarath Stone of Strategy drops in Let Sleeping Dust Lie.
Shavarath Stone of Foresight drops in Rainbow in the Dark.
Shavarath Stone of Might drops in Ritual Sacrifice.
Shavarath Stone of Battle drops in Running with the Devils

Once you have all five stones, you combine them using the crafting altar underneath the bar in Meridia. There is a short tutorial quest which will show you how to use the altar and it will advance you through speaking to NPC's until you have The Shroud logged in your quest journal.

The Signet Stone is also a required component in a greensteel item, so if you want multiple greensteel items (Shroud crafted gear) then you will need to run the quests multiple times for the stone, but it is not necessary to run the quests again to flag. Once you are flagged you stay flagged forever, even if you do not have a stone or greensteel item in your inventory.

Tempest's Spine

There are no prequisites or requirements or any shenanigans for entering and running through Tempest's Spine. There is also no special raid loot list, or any 20 repeat counter, nor is there a 3 day waiting period between runs, as there is with all other raids.


The Twilight Forge and The Titan Awakes

In order to get flagged for the Titan raid, you must first gain access to the Restless Isles. To do this you must complete the quest Hiding in Plain Sight, bestowed by Inquisitor Ingaram in the Wayward Lobster. (Or, you can get a friendly caster to use Greater Teleport to get you there.) Once this is done, travel to the Restless Isles via the airship called The Soaring Otyugh. To travel on the airship, report to the Spire Keeper on the north side of the Marketplace.

Once on the Isles, you will make base camp at the Foothold. Get to know all the NPC's and get the preliminary quest for the Titan bestowed on you by Karn Cold-Trail. He will tell you of the Sigil of Dahl Quor. You will need to travel the Isles to retrieve the two pieces of the sigil, which can be repaired by Ostler. In order to get the two pieces:

-The Broken Sigil is given to you by Mul Tong, after completing Bring me the Head of Ghola Fan.
-The Shattered Sigil is given to you by Opu the Elder, after completing The Slavers of the Shrieking Mines.

Once you have the Sigil restored by Ostler, travel to the Volcanoes Mouth either by greater teleport or through the underground tunnels of the Restless Isles. There you will find an ancient warforged. Show him the Sigil and 'let the magic take it's course'. This will bring you into the Twilight Forge. The entrance to The Titan Awakes is located through the end of this quest.

After your 3 day waiting period, Ostler will once again repair your sigil for entering the Twilight Forge. You do not need to return to Shrieking Mines or Ghola Fan's compound.


The Vault of Night

In order to be flagged for the VON, often referred to as VON5-6, you must complete, in order, the quest series (VON1-4). The Original quest giver is Barrow d'Kundarak, located on the top of the back pyramid, behind the bank in House Kundarak. He tells you to reunite the Laughing Knives, a group which will be able to breach the defenses and get you into the Vault itself. Unfortunately, reuniting the Knives is a bit of a chore. Each member requires a quest to get them to join you. Speak to Marek, the halfling in the Ever Full Flagon, and he will send you on the quest series to reunite them. (Remember to speak to Marek and the quest contact NPC between each quest.) The Quests are:
-VON 1: Tharashk Arena. Located in the Ever Full Flagon.
-VON 2: The Prisoner. Located in a small home, off of the northwest corner of the base of the bank pyramid.
-VON 3: Gateway to Khyber / Jungles of Khyber. Located at the Southern base of the House Kundarak Bank pyramid.
-VON 4: Haywire's Foundry. Located just outside the Ever Full Flagon, next to Husk.

Once you complete VON 1-4, you are flagged to enter VON5, The Vault of Night, which leads directly into VON6, The Plane of Night. In order to repeat this raid, you must complete all of the Vault of Night series every time.


Vision of Destruction

There are no prerequisites to be flagged for this Raid. (It required a server wide unlocking when module 7 was released, but now that all servers have unlocked it, all characters have access to this raid and the other raid in the Subterraen, Hound of Xoriat.)


Zawabi's Revenge

First speak to Zawabi in Zawabi's Refuge. He will tell you of his quest, and let you know of three powerful items he needs to banish the Marilith Queen. To get these three items, you must complete three quests in the desert. These quests are bestowed by people in Zawabi's Refuge. Each quest has an item at the end, after collecting the end reward, the quest giver will update your log and give you an item you need to give to Zawabi. What you need and where to get it:
-The Phylactary of King Raiyum. Get this at the end of the quest The Chamber of Raiyum, on the back pedastal after defeating the lich king.
-Orb of the Djinn. Pick up an Orb of the Efreet in the glittering treasure next to the throne at the end of Chains of Flame. Jaefan Druz, the quest giver, will trade you the Orb of the Djinn for it when you return to him.
-Blessed Blood Offering. Cailex, the quest giver for Offering of Blood, will give you this after completing the quest she bestowed.

Once all three items have been given to Zawabi, speak to him again and he will bestow the quest: Against the Demon Queen. This is the Pre-Raid for Zawabi's Revenge. Once ATDQ has been completed, return to Zawabi and he will advance you to the Raid. You must complete ATDQ every time you repeat the raid. You do not need to re-gather the 3 items.
