The Source of Evil
Recommended Level : 6
Coin Reward : At least 65c
Description :
This quest is given by Cleric Mara'Vaen after you complete the Joining the Forward Ranks quest. It is the highest level Queen's Colony quest. It results in arguably the best weapon available at this level range for your class.
First thing to do is visit Sorcerer Oofala. He is at a camp to the north past Dead Canyon, and then down the east wall of the Abandoned Vilage. ( 50, -2.5, -166)
Sorcerer Oofala will ask you to destroy the evil totems scattered around the Abandoned Village (near 165, 1.7, -160). These are inside of the camps, you must right click them to detroy them. Goblins also spawn in these camps and may need to be killed.
After destroying three totems return to Oofala. He will send you back to the Abandoned Village to kill the Dark Blademaster who will spawn when you get near. Slay him and return to Oofala.
Oofala will then refer you to High Chieftain Grexx in the treehouse of the Abandoned Village (-67, 13.5, -165). This is populated with friendly goblins.
He will ask you to enter the cave to the northeast of the tree house and deal with the source of evil, an NPC named Vith L'Tar (-112, 4.5, -172). For those familiar with the old island of refuge this is the same entrance as the former bosses zone.
When you attempt to approach Vith waves of undead will spawn. In order to stop them from spawning, you must destroy the totems in the room. Keep the following things in mind:
You need to destroy the 4 totems in the cave. Try to destroy as many as possible (usually 2) before you must approach Vith L'Tar. You may need to kill groups of tainted goblins to get to the totems. As soon as you near Vith L'Tar, you will begin to spawn waves of undead. The only way to stop the waves from continuing is to destroy all the totems. Once you destroy the 4th totem, Vith L'Tar becomes attackable. Beware though, once you destroy the last totem Vith L'Tar will summon two more mobs and charge you. You should kill Vith first, as she has a pet who will despawn when she dies.
Upon death of the final monster, a chest will drop one of the following items (and occasionally a level equivalent adept I spell tome):
Symbol of Vith: Treasured Symbol, 3 WIS, Secondary/Ranged, All Mages/All Priests/Paladin/Shadowknight, Lore, No-Trade, No-Value
Vith's Staff: Treasured Staff, 2-Handed Crushing, 3-8 DMG, 2.5 sec. delay, 2 WIS, 2 INT, All Mages/All Priests/Berserker/Bruiser/Guardian/Monk, Lore, No-Trade, No-Value
Vith's Necklace: Legendary Necklace, 3 AGI, 1 WIS, 2 INT, Neck, All Classes, Lore, No-Trade, No-Value
Note: You may continue to enter the cave multiple times prior to the next step, in order to have a chance for an alternate drop.
After you have looted the chest and have left the cave return to High Chieftain Grexx to report your success. Then finally return to Murrar Shar for your reward.
Note: Completing this quest gives positive faction to Qeynos and negative faction to Freeport.
