Paladin Epic: Fiery Avenger

Note. To get the blessings, you need to talk to Inte Akera. He is located on the Fourth Island in the Plane of Sky. You first need to talk to Dirkog Steelhand in the quest cave and give him 500 pp to cause Akera to spawn. Although technically this is the start of the quest, I would suggest you get the head and robe of Miragul, Ghoulbane and Soulfire first before doing this step, as Akera is very difficult to reach. Also, I have been told that Akera will despawn pretty quickly, so you might want to be at the island and have a friend hand Dirkog the money so that you don't lose the spawn.

The Blessing of Nobility

You need a high faction with Akera, who is a Deepwater Knight. This blessing is given to you by Akera in return for giving him Soulfire. The details for getting Soulfire are here.

The Blessing of Sacrifice

You need a high faction with Akera, who is a Deepwater This blessing is given for giving him Ghoulbane. The details for getting Ghoulbane are here.

The Book of Scale

You need to combine the 'torn, burnt book' and the book of frost.
NB. Faydedar (Level 60 Dragon in Timorous Deep) no longer drops either book.

-The 'torn, burnt book' is dropped by Nagafen (Level 53 in Nagafen's Lair), Talendor (Level 60 in Skyfire Mountains), and Severilous (Level 60 in Emerald Jungle).


Only in EQ could a torn, burnt book be so important

-The 'Book of Frost' is dropped from Lady Vox (Level 53 in Permafrost) and Gorenaire (Level 60 in Dreadlands).

Head to North Qeynos and to the left a good distance along the wall is Rineval Talyas. Give both books and 1000pp to Rineval Talyas to receive the Book of Scale (She is indifferent to all).


Makes for some good reading

Miragul

1. Head to the island South of the Sisters Isle in the Ocean of Tears and to the Oracle of K'arnon (loc -500, -8850). Give him the Book of Scale.


The Sister Isle in the distance

2. Receive Miragul's Phylactery.

3. Head to Everfrost Peaks and head for the hole in the ice (loc 2400, -4100). Swim North into the tunnel. Walk around the caverns if you find a wandering Ice Bone Skeleton or Ice Bear, Miragul is NOT up since these are his PH. Do NOT get to close to the caster in the North part of the caverns as he is aggressive towards all and yellow to me at 60. Miragul is on a one week spawn time so a common strategy is to leave one of your characters there and check in on the caverns every once in a while to see if he is spawned.


There are two ice holes. Make sure you get in the northern most one

4. Once you find the 'Lich of Miragul' (Level 45) wandering the underwater caves call your raid force together and have them meet North of the Goblin Diver. Get everyone raid buffed up and have your highest MR person go out and carefully pull Miragul to the raid (pathing down there is bad so expect to walk him slowly, resisting quite a few roots and nukes as he follows).


The Lich takes a seat while charmed

NB. Make sure everyone in the raid realises that they are NOT to attack Miragul until the order is given and that pets are not to be used until the "live" version of him spawns (in case Miragul hits pet owner and they attack Miragul breaking mez).

5. Have an Enchanter, Necro or Bard charm Miragul. Hand him the Lich the Phylactery and before you hit give, hit 'consider' really fast to make sure he is indifferent to you (ie. still mezzed) and then hit Give.

6. If all goes well Miragul himself (Level 60 Erudite Necro) will spawn. A well rounded group 55-60 should be okay. A Cleric is a must as he has a nasty 1000+ Lifetap. I personally did not have a Cleric so I bought 8 people:

Feonyx (61 Paladin - me), Sherlusia (65 Enchanter), Pazen (65 Paladin), Grinda (65 Wizard), Rattling (65 Necro), Larok (48 Paladin), Rhymen (53 Bard) and Itak (51 Druid).

Other than a few stay lifetaps that almost killed the Enchanter we finished Miragul without too much hassle in about 5 minutes.

The Final Task

1. You must have warmly faction (I was Ally just in case) with Inte Akera who is a Deepwater Knight (Erudin Paladins) before heading to Plane of Air. Head to Erudin and check your faction with the Paladin Guild members. To find out about Paladin faction click here.

2. Head to the Plane of Air and have a friend with the 'Key of Veeshan' (bought from the Key Master for 1cp) and 500pp wait in the quest area near on the first island.

3. Head to the fourth island (Pegasus Isle) by either using keys up to that island (envolves mini quests and killing of mobs) or as I did attack the Key Master, die and then have your corpse summoned to Pegasus Isle by a Necro with all the necessary keys.

4. Have the friend back at the Quest Area find Dason Goldblade, hail him and tell him that you are pure of heart and soul. The friend will receive a book. Give the book back to Dason Goldblade to have Dirkog Steelhand spawn in his place. Now BEFORE you hand Dirkog the 500pp have anyone who is evil stay well away from the Windmill on Pegasus Island (have then Feign Death just in case).

5. Handing the 500pp to Dirkog Steelhand spawns Inte Akera in the Mindmill.


Nice bag Inte Akera!

-Give Inte Akera the Soulfire and receive the Blessing of Nobility.

-Give Inte Akera the Ghoulbane and receive the Blessing of Sacrifice.

-Give Inte Akera 'Miraguls Head', 'Miraguls Robe', the 'Blessing of Nobility' and the 'Blessing of Sacrifice' to receive:

NB. As of writing this (1st August 2003) handing in the quest pieces causes the WHOLE of Plane of Sky to crash. While this does happen the server should have auto-saved when you received the Fiery Avenger and while this is annoying in the fact you can not continue to raid the plane (no mobs will be up for many an hour) you will receive your Epic weapon.

The effect Holy Shock is a 11 Direct Damage and you can BASH with it.
