Recommended Level : 55
Coin Reward : At least 18g
Description :
This is a heritage quest. It is started by examining 'A Piece of Ancient Parchment' which drops from Desert Madmen, Maniacs and Lunatics in the Sinking Sands and the Pillars of Flame and Desert Prophets in the Pillars of Flame.
Find a desert expert in Maj'Dul. This is Planetologist Ahkar in the city of Maj'Dul. ( -150, 177, -124 ). If you go up the first flight of stairs from the zone in you'll find him right there.
Speak to Harshaa in Sinking Sands. ( -405, -155, -1331 .) Careful because a lv 53 ^^^ epic X3 mob named Meathooks also spawns in that area.
- When you hail Harshaa and work through some dialogue about him not helping you, 3 vv level 51 mobs will jump you. Kill the desert madmen that spawn and attack you.
Speak to Harshaa again once the madmen have been defeated. He will then send you out to kill The Prophet of the Desert.
Slay the Prophet of the Desert at the altar in the Sinking Sands. ( -651, -105, -514 )
- Find the altar that the madmen are praying at. The Altar is at (loc = -651, -105, -514.)
- Kill 4 heroic groups of desert lunatics (4x no-ups, or 3x single-ups) around the altar to spawn either a PH group of 4 desert maniacs (all no-ups) or The Prophet's group (49^^^ with 4x single-down adds).
- Examine the altar.
- Speak to Harshaa again. ( -405, -155, -1331 .) He will go beserk and tell you to leave him alone.
Return to Planetologist Ahkar. Ahkar will then direct you to recover some artifacts from the Samiel Pirates.
- So you return to the Planetologist who informs you that there was this ancient group that ruled the desert before time was even recorded etc, etc.
- He proceeds to tell you that some Qeynosians have found information on the civilization and that you should look for them except they were jumped by pirates and everything was stolen. So instead you should seek out the pirates and see if they have the relics.
Stow away on board the Samiel Pirate ship.
-Do this by hiding in a box located at -2164,-228,-24 on Dry Wind Isle in the Sinking Sands, it is among a stack of boxes.
- The stack is surrounded by a group of five level 45 Samiel pirates, you will need to kill them or see if you can sneak around them with invis before you zone in.
- Clicking on the box will zone you into A Samiel Pirate Ship.
- Once aboard you need to find a key.
- You will be attacked when you zone in by a ^^^ 54 Samiel Marauder.
- You can then proceed and find the key you need by killing Lieutenant Kielmal (54^^^).
- Open the chest (thus taking the relics). Then use the wheel to zone out to the docks in the Sinking Sands.
- Return to Planetologist Ahkar.
Return to your home town's library to find more information about the Legend of Rahotep.
- Evil-aligned players: Speak to Librarian Zabnolique in the Academy of Arcane Science in North Freeport.
- Good-aligned players: Speak to Librarian Dungil, Concordium Tower in South Qeynos (blue portal).
- Return to Planetologist Ahkar.
Destroy the Legions of Rahotep. It's a 2-group raid, with tank and healer at least level 60 is recommended for this raid. There are approximately 10 mobs of lvl. 55^, ^^ and ^^^ undead creatures, followed by Rahotep himself (Lv. 55 Epic x2).
- Begin the encounter by going to approx ( -281,-139,-1171 ), which is a north exit from the Northern lake of the Twin Tears, in the Sinking Sands. WARNING: The Rahotep event will begin immediately when someone on that step of the quest gets around that area. The event will despawn relatively quickly, and will not begin again for 2 hours after it either despawns or is killed.
- Killing each wave but the last, and rooting the last in order for your raid to regen is the easiest way to go. Rahotep will try to regen to 100% health when he reaches 75% and 50%, so make sure to silence/stun/root him when he nears these health numbers.
Return to Planetologist Ahkar in Maj'Dul to claim your reward!
