HERITAGE QUEST -- A Strange Black Rock (Glowing Black Stone)

Level 28

========================================

Starts from Scholar Al'Quylar at the Oracle Tower in Antonica (-1039,-665).

The first order of business is to harvests a bit of power from power sources in Nektulos and the Thundering Steppes. They are both underwater, and the Thundering Steppes one will require you to have some form of water breathing in order to make it up without dying. They are located at:

Thundering Steppes: Beneath a ship in the western ocean at (+1681,+308)
Nektulos Forest: In the pool underneath Timber Falls (+457,-1505)

After harvesting both you should return to Scholar Al'Quylar. The next step is to recover the Brown Research Tome on Binding (+14,+67) and the Black Research Tome on Immortality (+237,+54) in the Ruins of Varsoon. Be forewarned that the Book of Life and Death spawn in these rooms.

You then must obtain a Palladium Torque. This item drops in Edgewater Drains or can be player crafted, and can also be bought from brokers quite often. When you turn it in you will receive approximately 1.5 gold as a reward.

Al'Quylar will then ask you to head back to the Ruins of Varsoon to kill the Tome of Life and the Tome of Death. These spawn in the two rooms where you got the research tomes earlier.

After destroying them return to Scholar Al'Quylar who will send you to kill Varsoon the Undying in the Chamber of Immortality.

After killing Varsoon return to Scholar Al'Quylar who will then attack you. Kill him for your reward.

Receive Reward: Glowing Black Stone
Receive Reward: 42,000 Status Points
