New Quest - Chorizite Veined Shield
Deven-Kenyon of SC: "Hi there Maggie! Hope you're well today! Just got a new shield with Ellen Ripley of SC (see pic below).

Instructions: Fastest way is to head to Shoushi and take the Shou-Zin 31.3S 72.6E villa portal to Renegade Stronghold 34.4S 64.8E. Go into the portal and keep left all the way to the end room where there's two doors under the platform. Enter either door and head down, again keeping left. The key sits on the table as it does for the other renegade quest this patch. Once you have your key, head to 31.3S 58.9E (or near by) in Sawato. There's three things in the chest, a refined chorizite chunk that you use mortar and pastle on (gives 20 chunks for potions), the shield and a note titled chorizite ore.

the shield casts Weave of Chorizite (raises magic def 2 points) and Force to Arms on you (decreases mana by 100) and it cannot be buffed/debuffed. Oh and the chest shoots flame bolt VI at ya. Got me for 32 points!"

New Quest - Coarse Hide Shirt
Damien Saren of FF sends news of yet another new Renegade Dungeon! He reports: "Enak and I dived in and did this one up... Gab changed his message about an hour or so ago...

Royal Guard Gabrielle tells you, "Hail! You've arrived just in time! I've received word that Muldaveus and Niarltah have been spotted entering a stronghold in the north near Stonehold. We've sent some agents up to the location as a precautionary measure, but we need all the assistance that we can get."
Royal Guard Gabrielle tells you, "There have also been sightings of possible contact between the Burun and Renegades in Direlands swamp, near Fadsahil's shop in the A'mun desert, east of Yanshi heading toward Dryreach and the southern edge of the Blackmire Swamp."

Head up to Stonehold. The Renegade Stronghold is at 71.4N 28.6W. At the end is a boss Lugian named Ollar. He drops 6 or 7 keys that unlock a chest at the other end of the dungeon. In the chest are 3 items, a note, 100 distilled mana potions... and a coarse hide shirt."

New Quest - Lugian Horned Helm

Damien Sarin reports: "Gab changed his message a little over an hour ago...

Royal Guard Gabrielle tells you, "Your arrival is most fortunate! I've just been informed that the Renegades and the Burun are meeting as we speak. Our spies have found a location on the shore of the Prosper river between Lytelthorpe and Dryreach. There, in a makeshift camp, they have summoned a portal to a secluded citadel. We need you to go investigate this location and stop them from them from signing any treaties. Who knows what these Burun would be capable of with the Renegades assisting them."
Royal Guard Gabrielle tells you, "Before you run off! Remember that there are still Renegade activities near Stonehold, in the Direlands swamp, near Fadsahil's shop in the A'mun desert, east of Yanshi, and on the southern border of the Blackmire Swamp. These areas still need to be secured."

So Enak and I went in, then recruited Jeng Li-lo to help and we plowed through... The dungeon was the one we been waiting on all month...

Renegade Stronghold - 2.4S, 63.7E

Entrance is guarded by Buruns, Tumoroks and Lugians. Dungeon is like the other strongholds... except the mobs get harder the deeper you go. All the way to the end where Burun Shamans, Savages and others are with Titans and War Mongers. At the end all 3 of the big lore bosses were there: Lord Muldaveus for the lugian renegades, Niarltah for the tumoroks, and Torglukk for the buruns...

No type of attck worked on Torglukk, everything hit him for 0. We managed to get Muldaveus away from the pack and drop him, which is when this global went out.

Muldaveus' voice thunders over the land, "Niarltah, we must flee. The Isparians have overrun our position. Come Morgluuk and Torgluuk, we will take you to the safety of our hidden fortress. Fostok, Amanua, get in here and clean up this tripe!"

He left no corpse and when he died all the lore bosses disappeared.... and 2 new bosses spawned. War Chief Amanua and General Fostok. Fostok drops the lugian helm and Amanua drops the BP.

War Chief Amanua says, "You should have thought of the consequences of your action, Isparian."
War Chief Amanua says, "Mighty spirits watch over my soul. What hope have you to penetrate their protection?"
Majhnoon has struck a mortal blow to Fostok. As the Lugian General falls to the ground motionless, his helmet falls from his head.
Majhnoon has struck a mortal blow to Amanua. As the Tumerok War Chief falls to the ground motionless, his armor snaps free.

Timer: 28 days

Thanks also to Deven-Kenyon of SC, Pk-Rage of SC, Darunia Revived of WE, Mykell of FF, Evil Elvis of HG, Mrs Smiles of WE!

Niarltah's voice echoes over the land, "Muldaveus, we must flee. The Isparians have overrun our position. Come Morgluuk and Torgluuk, we will take you to the safety of our hidden fortress. Amanua, Fostok, get in here and clean up this tripe!"

Deven-Kenyon adds these directions: fastest way to get there is go to Rith, take the Lytelthorpe Portal 9.54N 60.0E and then the riverbend cottages at 2.2N, 50.4E short run to 2.3S 63.7E.

When you land inside, head north, open the door, head east, keep going to the second door, then go west to yet another door, north and there's yet another door. Continue west, hook a left (south) when you come to the wall, follow that to another door, then two more doors north and west, then go s/w/e/e to yet another door lol, and that leads you to the main room where the two boss's are. Should note these guys aren't very melee/missile friendly. it seems all the mages get the kills. not sure what type of damage they're hitting for but my UA was getting 6's and 10's, my archer 20's and 50 crits :/ so best to bring a mage friend of you wanna take these guys down.

A report from Deven-Kenyon of SC: "The drop is safe to buff, take the west passage at the T and keep to the left side of the wall all the way down. There's a key at the bottom. Portal recall and take the Right passage this time, keep on the right side of the wall all the way down. This side deviates in that there's a hole in the floor. Keep going down to the chest and use the key. Inside there's a ring, lockpick, and lore. One note is called gems, one's a fetid note that needs to be brought to the Aun in Arwic." Thanks also to Thor Azoroth of TD!

Sylphia Brightstarr of TD reports: The layouts of the new dungeons mirror existing ones. "The Olthoi Warrior Nest is a copy of the Soldier Nest, the Crumbling Empyrean Mansion (workers) is a copy of the Eviscerator Lair, and I have been told that the Mutilator Tunnels is a copy of the Empyrean Grotto (legionary pincer). The spawns are apparently in the same locations, in the same number, with the same timers on respawn, though your starting location is different from that of the “original” dungeons. (For example the Worker one starts down what would be the first door on the right in the Evis dungeon). For those familiar with the layouts of the old dungeons, that should make it easier to navigate these new ones.

Aun Golem Hunter Rewards Updated!
Quest Details: Aun Golem Hunters

SpongeBob Square Pants of TD reports: "Hi Maggie,
I've just finished the Coral Golem Viceroy tracker quest for the Tumerok in Ayan and the new reward is as follows: 6 Coral Fragments (instead of 3) and 10,000,000 experience points!"

Sgt Detrius of  HG adds: "When doing the Coral Golem Viceroy tracker quest you only recieve the XP reward once. I killed 10 Viceroys today and the first time I got 6 Coral Pieces and 10mill XP. The second time only the 6 Coral Pieces. Don't know if there is a timer on the XP reward, the Aun did not say anything special about it." Thanks also to Tan-Ghil of FF!

Tashtego ibn Tunn of MT Sends the update to the Magma Golem rewards: "I just finished the hunt for Magma Golems and the reward was changed from just 3 burning coals to: 5,000,000 xp and 6 Burning Coals."

Kermit the Frog of LC sends this update about the mechanics of the quest: The XP reward and the title token are given out on the completion of either:

1) Killing 10 golems first time doing the quest
or
2) Doing quest for 2nd time (2 x 5 golems)

#2 recommended as you'll get 12 fragments in total instead of 6

Quest Details: Raeta's Necklace

Aun Papileona - 39.8N, 76.4W
Aun Papileona's Shrine to Raeta - 38.9N, 76.3W (level restriction removed)
 

Aun Papileona tells you, "Greetings, traveler. Raeta's migrations are such a beautiful mystery of nature. But where she goes, I must follow. I have moved my shrine to again be near her presence."
Aun Papileona tells you, "It is unfortunate that my misfortune seems to have followed me in turn. I have a grave favor to ask you. In his jealousy, the anima Carenzi has infested the beautiful shrine I built for Raeta with his own creatures. I tried to route them myself, but the horrid beasts nearly ripped me to pieces and ate the key to my chest! Until my shrine is cleansed of his defiling presence, Raeta will not return!"
Aun Papileona tells you, "I locked my amulet inside my chest--if you bring it to me as proof that you have driven Carenzi away, I will reward you with the title of Carenzi Slayer. Follow Volkama's riverbanks to the south, and you'll find my shrine."
Aun Papileona tells you, "Incidentally, I would be careful going past my old grotto if I were you--a motley group of Hea have moved in and made the place their own. They had an interesting-looking chest with them...but I was in too much of a hurry to follow Raeta on her migration to inquire further."

Aun Tanua's War Taiaha Updated!
Thanks to Tan-Ghil of FF, Elowan of MT, Mr Fizz of LC!

Quest Details: Aun Tanua's War Taiaha

Bachus Flufens tells you, "Woe is me! The Hea must have overheard that I have been sending travelers to investigate their caverns, for they invaded my house, burned down my apple trees, and ate my bunny rabbits! I barely escaped here to safety of Redspire in one piece! Fortunately my dear friend Micon has agreed to give me shelter until I am back upon my feet."
Bachus Flufens tells you, "They must hold that relic in high esteem. A most fanciful folk, I must say! I heard that it is a legendary spear that they dismantled and enshrined in two separate caverns on the island. It once belonged to a warrior from an opposite faction, I beieve. He tried to persuade them back to traditional ways, but they would have none of it. Somehow they dispatched him but retained his spear...which is supposed to have some sort of magical, "living" properties to it. I'm not quite sure what to believe."
Bachus Flufens tells you, "Perhaps the answer could be found in the caverns to the northwest along the shore. Try the area around 40.2N 84.7W --at least that's where I saw the Tumeroks heading last. Beware, friend--it's quite likely to be well guarded. I'd go myself, but I must catch up on my journal today. If you would like to read it, here are a few pages that I wrote the other day."
Bachus Flufens gives you Bachus Flufen's Journal.
 

You give Bachus Flufens Tumerok Spear.
Bachus Flufens examines the spear intensely.
Bachus Flufens tells you, "Ah, so there was something to their story after all...what an interesting find! But look here...don't these slots along this side suggest that it is missing a part? I wonder if it lies over in the caves directly to the northeast? For the past season I've been able to watch many Tumerok comings and goings here from my front porch. If you were to bring me back the object in its entirety, I'm sure I could reward you."
Bachus Flufens gives you Tumerok Spear.

You give Bachus Flufens Aun Tanua's War Taiaha.
Bachus gingerly lifts the weapon from your grasp and weighs it in her hands.
Bachus Flufens tells you, "A Tumerok War Taiaha! One of the first examples of Tumerok war craft I have ever seen. I must send this on to Aliester--he will be delighted to further his research on Tumerok culture. I thank you!"
You've earned 10,000 experience.
Bachus Flufens gives you Peerless Healing Kit.
Bachus Flufens gives you 2 Copper Peas.
Bachus tells you, "So you're back, [character's name]. Good to see you. I am always happy when friends stop by, especially around sunset--the view is spectacular from here! I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary of late, but can never tell what will happen on the island! Perhaps things will have changed even by next week."
