Tips on completing the Epic quest line up to Greenscale?

I've "finished" the epic quest line through the Sir/Dame title. But I've seen folks working on parts that require you to kill encounters in Stillmoor and elsewhere, leading right up to Greenscale himself.

Since finishing Sir/Madam, I don't have any epic quests left in my log. Do I have to troll back through every zone looking for epic quests I've missed? Or is there a starting spot for the Sir/Madam-to-Greenscale leg?

thanks!

There is a guide available, but right now I'm getting a timeout when I attempt to go to it. In case it's permanently down I've copy/pasted the text of the guide below. Story Quest Chain (Epic) for Guardians To get this Quest-Series you need to complete at least all the story quests in “Silverwood”. Accept the Quest “The meaning of Danger” from “Cardinal Fiach” in Sanctum. The Meaning of Danger: Talk to “Shyla Starhearth” the “High Elv Leader” in “Sanctum”. Talk to “Fayne Doran” near the Portal in “Sanctum” Travel to “Argent Glade” and talk to “Brougan Grote” near the Portal. Return to “Cardinal Fiach” in “Sanctum” and turn in the quest. Accept the Quest “Profane Priests” from “Cardinal Fiach” in Sanctum. Profane Priests: Travel to the “Mirror of Ages” and use the “Vespers Bell” inside the big tree, where the “Spirit Guide” was summoned for other quests, to summon “High Priest Keelaodh”, attack him until he turns friendly. Return to Sanctum to turn in the quest to “Cardinal Fiach”. The Care and imprisonment of Changelings: You will need to wait for an invasion in Silverwood after you complete the other steps, a big boss will spawn, if the boss is named Gnarladon or Cinderon you are lucky, quickly head to his location and hit him at least once, that will be enough to complete the quest step. After you killed both of those bosses you need to get a “Tear of the Vigil” just head to the very south of “Silverwood” where you spawned after completing the Mathosia (Starting Zone)6072,3962. Speak to the Vigil and obtain the “Tear of the Vigil”. Now head to Sanctum and turn in the quest to “Abbott Germet”, to the left when you enter the castle below the “Artifact Guy”. Now you can accept the quest “The Changeling revealed”. The Changeling revealed: Go to the “Palisades” in “Silverwood”, use the iron item on random “Aelfwars” in the area. When the Changeling(lvl 19 Elite) is revealed. Use the ashes in your inventory on the ground where he is standing before you kill him. If done right you will receive a bottle which contains the “Changeling”. Go to the Sanctum and turn in the quest to “Abbott Germet”. Accept the quest “A Snake in Sanctum” and speak with “Abess Katia” located in the same room. A Snake in Sanctum: Watch the Event and attack the Changeling when he is target able to force him to change back to his real appearence. After the Event has finished “Abess Katia” tells you to kill the Changeling, do so. After killing the Changeling you can turn in the Quest to Cardinal Fiach on the middle floor of the castle. You will be able to accept 3 new quests “The Coup”, “The Beastmaster” and “The Taking of Overwatch Keep” Two of those quests must be done in the “Realm of the Fea” (a dungeon located in Silverwood). The Coup: Enter the “Realm of the Fea” and fight your way through it, after killing “Trickster Maelow”(the 1st boss in the “Realm of the Fae”) an event will start. A large number of soldiers and their commander(elite) will walk down the hill and surround you, after a short talk they will attack, so be ready. Continue your way through the dungeon. After killing “Luggodhan” (the 2nd boss in the “Realm of the Fae”) another wave of soldiers and their commander(elite) will surround you, kill them and move on. The last commander and his little army will spawn right after the killing “Battlemaster Atrophinius” (the 3rd boss in the “Realm of the Fae”). The Beastmaster: Enter the “Realm of the Fae” and fight your way through it, between the 2nd and the 3rd Boss you need to find the Den of Naveer which is located near the shrine close to the 3rd boss. Step close to the Den and use the flute(Quest Item). A cat(~20 elite) will appear(looks like a beastmaster pet), and after a short conversation it fights you, bring it to low health and it will turn friendly and hand over the “Blade of Light”(Quest Item). The Taking of Overwatch Keep: Like the name of the quest already says you need to go to the “Overwatch Keep” located in the center of “Silverwood”. You need to find 3 Items located on 3 different towers at “Overwatch Keep”, after looting one of those items prepare to fight 1 Elite(~20) and 2 adds (~19). Locations: (6397,3163), (6377,3064) and (6497,3184) Once finished return to Sanctum and turn in all three quests where you got them. Now accept the quest “The Green Lady” and go to the “Overwatch Keep” The Green Lady: Enter one of the Caves and find an egg like looking seed, target it and use the bell in your inventory. Fight the Plant (~21 Elite) that will appear after using the bell on the seed, and make your way to the 2nd cave. Again use the bell and fight the plant, now you will receive a new step, find and kill the “Green Lady”. To find the “Green Lady” you will have to search for a “1st Order Druid”, wandering around with only 75% health. He spawns on the balcony of the little house in the middle of the area, and will start to pat around the area. Use the bell on her, and the “Green Lady” will appear. Kill the “Green Lady”. Return to “Cardinal Visc” in Sanctum and turn in “The Green Lady” Accept “Hylas Aelfwar Apostate, Outlaw” from “Cardinal Fiach” Hylas Aelfwar Apostate, Outlaw: Speak to “Cyril Kalmar” the leader of the Guardians in the middle of the Castle on the bottom floor. He will send you to speak with “Brougan Grote” in Argent Glade you will find him near the Portal. After you have spoken to “Brougan Grote” he wants you to visit “Hylas” in “Overwatch Keep”, you will have a mark on the map if you r tracking the quest. Make your way through “Overwatch Keep” and up the tower to talk to him, and be prepared to get kicked far far away to the ocean near “Sanctum”, when you finished talking to him (I’m sorry that I spoiled that). Return to Fiach in Sanctum to turn in the quest. You will receive a blue ~20 necklace as reward, the achievement “The Price’s Pal” and the title “The Revolutionary”. Accept the new quest, which should lead you to the “Sage Spire” in “Scarwood Reach” at 2601,3562. After you made your way to the Sage Spire speak to Sasha Nikadon and accept the two quests he offers: “The Amber Throne” and “Greenscale’s Prison”. The Amber Throne: This quest will lead you to “Freemarch” right in front of the defiant capital city “Meridian”. You need to kill the “Defiant Loremaster” who stole a book from the “Sage Spire” and recover the Book. The “Defiant Loremaster” is located in the big tent in front of “Meridian” guarded by a Defiant Guard (52 elite), but he is wandering outside of that tent alone from time to time, so be patient. Be aware of the fact that you will get flagged for PVP if you sneak to close to “Meridian” (only on PVE Servers of course). Kill him and take the stolen book. Greenscale’s Prison: You will need to enter the dungeon “Kings Breach” for this quest. Find the “Book of the God Prison”. Try to loot it to start the event, a 35 (Elite) named “Rydremac the Librarian” will appear with several adds. Kill him and loot the book. With level 50 you will not need to kill a single mob beside the one that spawns out of the book, the way to the location is pretty much clear. Return to “Cardinal Visc” and turn in the quests, you can now accept “Durnes the Ranger” from “Cardinal Fiach”. Durnes the Ranger: Again you will need to travel to “Scarwood Reach” and find “Durnes”. This one wasn’t so easy to track down, she cycles around the “Keenblade Mill”, most likely she also goes into to the mill sometimes. Find and speak to her, she will attack you and call several adds for her aid. Kill her and loot her corpse, you will receive an “Obsidian Arrow”. Return to “Cardinal Fiach” and turn in the quest. You will be able to choose a blue necklace as reward. Accept “Schism in Moonshade” and “Thorvin the Just” Travel to the “Moonshade Highlands” and talk to “Thomas Penthas” at “Hammerlord Post” 6822,1791. Talk to him and accept the quest “To Catch a King”. Shism in Moonshade: Find the grave of “Thorvin the Just” in “Moonshade Highlands” (6001,2215) Click on it to start the event, Thorvin will appear with some of his friends. After a short conversation he’ll attack you (42 elite + adds). I did this part solo with my level 50 warrior as tank. At 20% of his life he’ll turn friendly and hand over the shield you seek. To Catch a King: Find the stone circle(5709,1660) in “Blightweald” to the very east of “Moonshade Highlands”, step into it and use the quest item in your inventory to summon “King Attercop”(42 elite). He is quite hard to solo even on level 50. You need to use the “Crystal Decanter” located also in your inventory (empty bottle) on the ground where “Attercop” stands, shortly before you kill him. If done right you will receive “Attercop’s Spirit” bound inside the “Decanter”. Travel back to “Sanctum” and turn in the quests to “Abbes Katia” (bottom floor) and “Cardinal Visc” (middle floor). “Abbes Katia” will offer the quest “The Vessel of Estrode” and “Cardinal Visc” will offer “Diona, Priestess of Ixalou” Diona, Priestess of Ixalou: Travel to “Shimmersand” and find the altar of Ixalou in the “Riptalon Gulch”. You will need to get pretty close to it to finish the first step. Click on it to start the event, a level ~45 elite will appear (~42k life) named ” Avatar of Ixalou”, kill him and talk with Diona. Vessel of Estrode: For this quest you will need to enter the “Runic Descent“, a dungeon located in the “Moonshade Highlands”. After you have killed “Warden Falidor” (the last boss) step on to his platform and look to the right. The vessel stands next to a pillar, and won’t be hard to find. Click it to start the event. The “Shade of Gorvaht” (42 Elite ~30k HP) will appear and as always attack you after he said some words. Kill him and loot “Vessel of Estrode Shards” Return to “Sanctum” to turn in the quests to “Abbess Katia” and “Cardinal Visc”. Accept the quest “Broken Ties” from “Abbess Katia” and talk to “Cardinal Visc”, “Cardinal Alwan” and “Cardinal Fiach”. Turn in the quest to “Cardinal Alwan” and choose one of the epic necklaces as reward. You will also receive the postfix-title “Fae Bane” and the Achievement “Unseelie Slayer”. Accept the quests: “Amunet the Stormcaller” from “Cardinal Visc” and “Life in the Land of Death” from Cardinal Fiach. Life in the Land of Death: Talk to “Shyla Starhearth” the leader of the “High Elves”, located in the middle of the bottom floor. Travel to the “Chancel of Labors” in “Iron Pine Peak” and find “Luminary Yentia” (inside) to turn in your quest. If you have not reached the “Revered” notoriety for the faction “Ice Watch” you will only receive a quest to do so. Accept the quest “The Grave of Amunet” from “Luminary Yentia” and travel to “Stillmoor”. The Grave of Amunet: Find the Grave of “Amunet” the first Stormcaller near the endless Citadel. It doesn’t look like a grave more like a pile of earth so be sure not to miss it. Note: Like most of the previous steps this is not solo able. Grab at least 1 friend to aid you. Click on the grave to start the event, a “Lich” will appear and of course attack you. Damage him to 49% and use your quest item, he will vanish and another “Lich” will appear. Damage the second “Lich” to 49% and use your quest item again. A third “Lich” will spawn and replace his damaged brother, but this time you will be able to kill him, the quest item can’t be used on the third “Lich”! Note: The one who started the event should not die, or the “Lich” will despawn, in this case you will need to abandon the quest and accept it again, to be able to do it again. Speak to the Ghost of Amunet to finish the quest. Return to “Sanctum” and turn in the quest to “Abbess Katia”. There are quite nice but weird looking Helmets as reward for this quest, take a look here Life in the Land of Death: Travel to “Stillmoor” and find “Kevdorras Abandoned Holy Symbol”. After you have spotted a chest half burried in the ground, you will receive the symbol. Now find “Marshal Kevdorras” and attack him until he reaches ~19%, now you will be able to use the quest item. He will turn friendly and your quest is complete. Return once again to “Sanctum” to turn in the quest to “Shyla Starhearth” Accept the quest “Sweet Nechan” from “Shyla Starhearth” Sweet Nechan: Travel to “Stillmoor” and find a “Major Life Rift”, you need to seal it in order to finish the first quest. Note: It wasn’t as easy as it sounds, I needed 5 Rifts to get this step done, I guess I was just unlucky, it seems that you also need to have looting rights on the final boss of the rift or it won’t count. The next step is to follow the “Ley Lines” to “Nechtan”, you will be able to use the quest item from time to time to be able to see a line pointing at “Nechtans” location. After you have spotted “Nechtan” you should kill the Summoners around him to set him free, he will hit quite hard but he is killable with a group of two. Return to “Sanctum” and turn in the quest to “Shyla Starhearth” Accept the quest “Free Their Souls”. Free Their Souls: Note: This quest will take a while but you won’t need any help. Travel to “Stillmoor” and find random “Aelfwars” use your quest item on them and hope that they will turn friendly. If you have no idea where to find “Aelfwars” in “Stillmoor” check out the map for the quest “Life in the Land of Death”. ~80% of the time your target will grow in size and attack you instead. Note: You should avoid the shape shifters, they will turn into werewolves and you won’t be able to use the item. After you have finally converted 10 “Aelfwars”, return to “Sanctum” and turn in the quest to Shyla Starhearth”. Accept the quest “What they have became”. What they have became: Note: If you have never done an expert Rift than grab at least 4 friends, normal dungeon setup (Tank+Heal+DDs). You will also need someone with enough reputation from the Rift Faction “Order of Life Serene” to buy a “Husk: Primal Evolution”. To complete the Husk you will need 5 “Malformed Souls”, combine them with the lure and search for any Rift-Tears in “Stillmoor”. When you found one use the “Husk” to open it up. Travel one last time to “Stillmoor” and open up an “Expert Life Rift”. Make your way through it until you have reached the last step where you are facing “Duke Ellisar” himself, use your quest item on him, if done right you will receive the last step of the quest. Kill “Duke Ellisar” and return to Sanctum. Turn in the quest to “Abbess Katia”. You will receive the achievement “Valley of Darkness” and the title “Redeemer”. Accept “Wellspring of Power” from “Cardinal Fiach”. Wellspring of Power: Enter the “Realm of the Fae” on EXPERT difficulty, and fight your way through to the second boss (Luggodham). If you take a close look behind him to the left you will be able to see the “Wellspring” surrounded by some wisps. Now you need to pull “Luggodham” back, out of the water close to the big stone. If you fight him anywhere in the water, you will add the “Wellspring” and an infinite army of wisps will spawn. If you failed and added the wisps, be quick and kill “Luggodham”, after you have done that you will die for sure. The wisps will not despawn, so you need to soft reset the instance (your group needs to wait 15 minutes outside the instance) If you killed “Luggodham” without adding the wisps, you will be able to proceed. Note: You will only have ONE try on this, if you fail you need to soft reset the instance like mentioned above. Walk around the lake to make sure to not add the Wisps from the side, or they will fly into the brushes next to the well and shoot you to death! Note: If one of the members of your party, is able to dispel the buff on the Wellspring (Voidknight/Inquisitor/Archon/…) it will make your life a lot easier. The buff will reduce damage taken and also deal damage back to the attacker. Kill the wisps and be sure to use some AOE over the whole fight, to keep the spawns to a minimum. Damage the Wellspring to 20% and use the Quest Item, now kill the Wellspring and you are done. Return to “Sanctum” and turn in the quest to “Cardinal Fiach”. Accept the quest “The Heart of the Destroyer” The Heart of the Destroyer: Speak to “Borrin Gammult” in “Sanctum” and take the “Blade of Light” and a “Key”. Travel to “Scarwood Reach” and enter “Kings Breach” on expert difficulty. The Summon Point you are looking for is in “Konstantins” (Last boss) room, so you will need to clean the whole instance first. When you killed Konstantin gather your group and be ready to fight the evil sealed within this room. Use the “Key” to start the event. The “Heart of Regulos” will appear held in some kind of “Death Ward”, before you are able to use the sword, it will summon the “Shade of Regulos” (Looks like the one in the starting zone). Note: The “Shade of Regulos” will do a hell lot of damage, he will cast “Shadow Bolts” with 1.5 seconds cast time, those will hit for ~7000 – 10000 damage on and around the target hit. Also he seems to have random aggro except the first cast on the puller. Note: Now there is the little “trick” with this boss, but if you know it you will be deeply disappointed, and the encounter will become trash. Spoiler Alert! ——————————————————————————————- The “Shade of Regulos” is not a boss, what makes him cc-able. The easiest way to kill him is to have two casters with the “Fear”or “Bewilder”spell(1.5 sec cast time and no cooldown). Just have one cast it on the boss and like 0.5-1 sec later the other one casts it, now both of them need to keep casting for the rest of the fight, so be sure to have enough mana. The rest of the group should focus on damage, while the casters are interrupting the boss, there won’t be any damage to the group. Also “Way of the Mountain”, a 20 Points skill of the warrior soul “Paragon”, makes the warrior immune to his “Bolts”, but you should never leave the melee range or he might cast his “AoE-Field”. Note: I don’t know if this way is the intended one, cause it feels kind of lame. —————————————————————————————— After you have killed the “Shade of Regulos” the “Heart of Regulos” will start attacking, it doesn’t do much damage and you can hide behind the pillars. For melees there is a second damage source, the little AE clound around the heart, so take care. Use the “Blade of Light”, you will receive the “Blade of Lifes Death”. Note: Dead People might not get the “Blade of Lifes Death” so wait for everyone to be alive, if you fail to loot it from the little window that shows up after using the “Blade of light” you will be set back to the step where you need to talk to “Borrin Gammult”. Anyway you can repeat the whole event in the same ID, if you get a new blade in “Sanctum” . Kill the “Heart of Regulos” as soon as everybody confirms to have the “Kill” Step. You can run into the instance at this point, as long as the rest of the group hides behind the pillars there will be no damage. Return to ”Borrin Gammult” in Sanctum and turn in the quest. Accept “Damming the Stream” from “Cardinal Alwan” in Sanctum. Damming the Stream: Travel to the “Moonshade Highlands” and enter the dungeon “Runic Descent” on expert difficulty. Fight your way through it until you face “Atrophinius the Fallen(4th Boss)”, kill him and loot his “The Horn of Atrophinius”. You should also have the “Amulet of Imprisonment” in your inventory. Go to the point where he usually stands and use the “The Horn of Atrophinius” to start the event. Now several Life invasion bosses, known to you from the different zones of Telara, will spawn and fight you (not all at once). Inhibrius (Silverwood) Lillian Dunst (Scarwood Reach) Gorodon (Moonshade Highlands) Barkoth (Stillmoor) They won’t do much damage and the abilities are pretty much the same as known from the invasions. Anyhow on 10% of each boss every one in your group must use the “Amulet of Imprisonment” to finish the step for himself. Note: Barkoth will spawn adds if you don’t move, they will do very very little damage and despawn shortly after the boss has died. Return to Sanctum and turn in the quest to “Abbess Katia”. Accept the quest “Growth of the Aelfwar” from “Abbess Katia”. Growth of Aelfwar: Travel to “Stillmoor” and gather some friends(15+), use the Lure on a “Rift Tear” to open a “Raid Rift”. Fight through the stages until you reach the final opponent, hurl “Thorvins Shield” at him. You should now get the kill step, bring him down and your quest will be complete. Return to “Sanctum” to turn in the quest to “Abbess Katia”. Accept “Meditations on Life” from “Shyla Starhearth” Meditations on Life: Find “Joseph” in “Sanctum”, and talk to him. Now you will need to travel to 4 different locations in “Telara”, find a carpet and meditate for 3 minutes(channeling). The first location is near “Devine Landing”, to the very south of “Silverwood”. The second location is in the “Mirror of Ages” inside the “Big Tree”. The third location can be found in “Scarwood Reach” in “Stone Grove”. The fourth and last location can be found in “Stillmoor” in front of the portal to the “Raid Dungeon” “Greenscales Blight”. Talk once again to “Joseph”. Return to “Sanctum” to run in the quest to “Shyla Starhearth” You will receive a “Life Bunny(companion)”, the achievement “Nirvana” and the title “The Enlightened”. Accept the quests “The End of Hylas” from “Shyla Starhearth” and “The Death of Life” from “Cyril Kalmar”. The End of Hylas: Note: I haven’t done this so far, if you have any information, let me know. Simple task: Enter the “Raid-Dungeon” “Greenscales Blight” and kill the 4th Boss, “Prince Hylas”. The Death of Life: Note: I haven’t done this so far, if you have any information, let me know. Enter the “Raid-Dungeon” “Greenscales Blight” and use the blade on Greenscale himself when hes weakened.

Wow, thanks Elsimer. I'll sift through this to see where I left off.

Note that the "Sir/Madam" questlines are not the same as the epic storyline questline. It's generally accepted that the first quest in this chain is Profane Priests, but looking at the ZAM database for this part it appears that the questchain really starts with the quests that involve your spirit guide. So that would be the "save the spirit guide" quest you get from Marsh House, then the "go talk to the Guide" at Marsh House and next the "help the Guide in the forest" quest where you are either collecting junk off the ground or killing the big forest walker guys. After that is the "talk to the Guide at Sanctum Overwatch" and THEN the quest in Sanctum where you talk to the 2 people there and one in Argent Glade which leads to Profane Priests. Sheesh! And that's just the start!! Incidentally, for this part: ----------- Free Their Souls: Note: This quest will take a while but you won’t need any help. Travel to “Stillmoor” and find random “Aelfwars” use your quest item on them and hope that they will turn friendly. If you have no idea where to find “Aelfwars” in “Stillmoor” check out the map for the quest “Life in the Land of Death”. ~80% of the time your target will grow in size and attack you instead. Note: You should avoid the shape shifters, they will turn into werewolves and you won’t be able to use the item. --------- Because they are awesome, Clerics can purge the buff off of the Shapeshifters, and then can use the tome on them.

I started working on this myself and wow, I've missed alot of quests. I'm currently at "The Coup", "The BeastMaster" and "The Taking of OverWatch Keep". If anyone wants to group up and knock these out, slip me an in game mail or post here and we'll set up a "schedule" of sorts.

I found my own missing link and have picked up the thread again. Now I'm on the King's Breach / Merdian steps.

Im stuck at realm of fae too. I would think that just one person (to add dps or heal me a tad) would be enough. I tried solo and came 1 hit from killing the first boss (kept turning me into a rabbit). I'm better geared now but help would probably be good. Ive been at this stage for weeks. Treaa

holler at me sometime when I'm in-game and I'd be more than happy to help with steps on this - I'm up to the Growth of the Aelfwar raid rift but it's going to be awhile before I'll be able to hit GSB for the rest of the steps anyway.

I can kill the bosses just fine. It's the large group of Aelfwar that wants me dead that are a pain. =/

So... I finally got into realm of fae and did the two there, I did green lady before that. I turned them in. But got no breadcrumb. Who am I supposed to talk to next? Treaa
