Aerlinthe Updates!

Gandalf Zu'l Zoran of SC reports:
"The new dungeon in the new tower on Aerlinthe is called : Coral Tunnel Level 40+ (84.0N, 47.1E). There are Ashen Bones and Relic Bones at the start. At level 2 you find coral golems in the nice looking coral hallways. One level further down in the dungeon is Lava Tunnels with Magma and Obsidian Golems."

Galia of LC adds: "When you first enter you need to run to the left and up a ramp, follow that and turn to get to a lever, when you pull it a door opens back down the ramp and you can enter the lower part of the dungeon."

Coral Tunnels also has portals that drop you on the west side of the inlet and back to the east as well.

Old: 2.5-5 Slashing/piercing + Hollow
New: 2.8-7 Slashing/piercing + Hollow

See Sacrificial Dagger quest page for updated details on the quest.

Notes from Eighty Sixer of VT:
--The run to the relic town is now much harder than it was before, with a huge amount of monsters (much more than before).

--The Keep (as much as I could tell) works exactly the same as before, with slightly more monsters. There are no shadows, and it is now filled with Great Revenants, Relics, and Cursed Bones. The run to Aerfelle is filled with Cursed Wisps (I think) by the dozens. The chest room now has Inferno's and Great Revenants on what appeared to be a longer spawn than before.

--Aerfelle is now surrounded by Lich Opressors, Great Revenants, Relic Bones, and one other type of VoD undead that I didn't note the name of. She herself now has a huge amount of health (couldn't ID for a specific number) and took at least 7-8 minutes to kill by my estimate. Maybe longer. The monsters in her room continue to respawn fairly quickly, and do NOT dissipate on her death. She dispels debuffs and counters with protections. She drops an Ornate Ashen key.

--The chest room also contains two chests now, instead of one. One for the Ornate Ashen key, the other for what I assume is the original Ashen Key. No one in our group had the original key to test the chest. The Ornate one however, dropped the 3 upgraded items: War Staff of Aerfelle, Aerfelle's Supreme Pallium, and the Superior Ashbane. The chest dropped miscellaneous other loot, but no scroll. Upon turning in the new Ashbane to Leikotha, I received this:

Gyes of SC adds: "Just finished the updated Aerlinthe quest on SC. Aerfalle's a machine now! If you vuln her, she dispells and casts the opposing spell, so the only way to kill her is to isolate her and *only* use rending weapons."

And Ali Los of SC adds: "Oh… Aerfalle has red hair."

David the Bear of SC reports that level restriction is now 40+ and the D Note Emissary will give change!

You give Gareana the Emissary Trade Note (100,000).
The voice in your mind purrs, "You are generous, not to mention strong. Yet honor requires I return the excess."
Garaena the Emissary gives you Trade Note (50,000).

Thanks to Okura Santoshi of MT and Chip Ali of HG, Seishiro of VT, Sofa King of FF, Gyes of SC, Ali Los of SC!

In your mind, a soft voice sighs, "So many turns of the world have passed. When shall my torment end?"
You give Leikotha Superior Ashbane.
Leikotha releases a dry, rasping gasp.
Leikotha tells you, "Ashbane... mine own sword."
Leikotha examines her sword, feeling the weight of the blade in her hands.
Leikotha tells you, "I had dropped this on the hill of Ayn Tayan... My rage had so blinded me. Ferah, had played me for the fool..."
Leikotha tells you, "Spinning lies in my mind..."
Leikotha tells you, "What I did..."
A sound slowly builds within Leikotha, until finally an unearthly scream emanates from her. You feel the din about to deafen you when the scream stops.
Leikotha tells you, "Why... why..."
Leikotha stares silently at the blade of the sword.
Leikotha tells you, "How... where... ai, thy mind tells me that thou has found in one of Aerfalle's caches. Foul magus that she is. I shall reward thee for thy efforts."
You've earned 10,000,000 experience.
Leikotha tells you, "Now leave me. Leave me with my bitter memories..."

Mt. Lethe & Crater Updated!
A report from Gandalf Zu'l Zoran of SC: "Mt Lethe has changed, there is now a magma flow from the top to the entrance of the dungeon. Crater has changed alot too. There is now a little island in the lake with lava coming out of it"

Aardvarq of FFadds that you can climb up Mt Lethe and get in the Caldera if you run up the lava flow now.

Flowerwarrior of LC reports the Mount Lethe Hellfire got a location update and is now on top of Mount Lethe in a small crater, surrounded by large amounts of Diamonds, Magmas and Hellfires. It drops 10-12 blue infusions on death instead of 3.

King Toad Idol!
Thanks to Damin Sarin of FF, Blarrg of WE, Etana of WE, Masked Jackal of TD!

Julian's Touch of TD reports: "In diresland swamp, there are Guruk spawning, and the Burun Ruuk Seer drops a Untranslated Writing. Give it to the Aun in Arwic"

You give Translator Aun Laokhe Untranslated Writing.
Translator Aun Laokhe tells you, "A vile beast! What villainy lurks in the hearts of these creatures! There is no word in the Tonk language to describe the atrocity that these beasts can manage."
Translator Aun Laokhe gives you Note to Torgluuk.
Translator Aun Laokhe tells you, "It appears that the rumors that have been spreading through Elysatah's court could well be true."
Aun Laokhe sighs.
Translator Aun Laokhe tells you, "Apparently there has been some activity in the Direlands Swamp in an area once populated heavily by the Mosswarts. The Mosswarts have reached out and asked us for assistance, as you might know. Bleeargh, an emissary that sought out your people recently, went before Elysatah and asked for assistance. She told the Mosswart that they would afford him passage so long as he and his tribe remained peaceful."
Translator Aun Laokhe tells you, "I speak of this because many believe that the Mosswart exodus is related to the increase of the Burun, especially in the direlands. I think that it would be better for me to write this down for you."
Translator Aun Laokhe gives you Of the Burun.
Translator Aun Laokhe tells you, "Please, look into this matter for all our sakes."

Note: Untranslated Writing may also be found in dungeons and on other Buruk, including Burun Ruuk Fiends, Burun Ruuk Louts, Ruffians and Seers.

You succeed in covering your hands and arms in foul smelling muck.

First you have to take the hookable portal from blackmire 1, run around and find a large spawn of guruk's from boor's to crushers etc, with louts and seer's etc, one will drop a note. Turn that in to the aun in arwic and you get two notes and flagged to enter toad at 39.3S, 50.9W (close to bm 1 portal drop). after you have your translated notes, head back to toad and use it, you'll portal inside, where there are guruk's right on ya, so buff outside. we took the left hall first, backtracked a bit after we found each end room that had the scrolls on the floor before each statue

Deven-kenyon SC

Thanks to Julian's Touch of TD for spells!

Ja'afar al-Saladin of SC's Carved Mosswart Statue! Thanks also to Cyrano, Arbo of HG!

The stone appears to be unresponsive. Perhaps you are not attuned to ebb and flow of item enchantment. You will need mystic knowledge to access the magical teaching within this stone. Being that the statue is of a mosswart, perhaps you will need knowledge passed to you from a mosswart mystic.

Hi Maggie,
(add in normal praise for your site). I've found out what the Mosswart Statue is for. When you hook it and then do the quests for Bleeargh he tells you that now you have to find a stone that teaches you big good magic. I've done all the 6 quests he is involved with and then used the Statue at our mansion. It taught me ALL item spells from level 1-6 !!! So I guess that each quest is for one of the Levels (I used it 6 times and it filled my spellbook with all spells of one level each time). I don't know which quest is for which level of spells but I guess the level restrictions of the dungeons can give a clue to that.

Keep up the great work,
Sgt Detrius of HG

Directions to books from Afromagic of zero - WE:

In the first just work your way down (the Buruns around the top drop one of the notes for another quest) but as you get down father there will be one hallway with rooms on each side, on the right side in one of the rooms there is book that has the same name as all the others but isn't able to be turned in. Right before the Port to the next doungy there is the first book.

In the second doungy take the RIGHT door in the first room you come to and take that path down, in one of the rooms along the way you'll find the second book. When you get to the bottom where will be the next port to the Third doungy with a book right before that port too.

In the third doungy there will be a book just to the right of the drop down that hall way. When you come to the first room make sure to take the RIGHT path again and the first room you will come to will have a book in it. Keep going down this side until you get to the area before the next portal. When you get to this point go up the side that would have been the left door coming down and in the first room you come to on this side you'll find another book. Go back to the portal room and there is a book right before the portal again.

The last doungy I know has a lvl 80+ requirement for the portal and should be ventured through with care because of many hollow lugians and war casting tummies. Run down the hall way till you come to a T in the path. To the Left is a room with the Next book for the quest. Leave this room and take the other way from the T and keep working your way up till you come to a BIG room with lots of baddies, by a throne you'll find another book in about the middle of the room. At the far end of the room from where you started you'll see an exit that keeps taking you up. When you get to the top it gets kinda Maze like with one room containing the last book for the quest and another with an exit portal that will drop you somewhere between Kara and Qal.

Now that you have all the books take them bake to Yanshi and give them to Ydnew and your done with the quest!!
