Diren Hold - Order of Echelon

LEVEL 47 PART TWO

Second Quest:

Snowballs and Wine
Right after you finish the first quest just talk to him again to start the second one. He says he needs some special wood for a hammer he wants to make. But he doesnt know where to get the wood. He says you have to get some snowball and an ancient bottle of wine to summon some dude that knows where to find the sweet wood at. The wine is bought in Freeport for like 3k tunar from a merchant Gilgash i believe. He's in a building kinda close to the docks outside the walls of FP. The snowball is off a ice goblin named Ice Goblin Melder. I am going to assume you have a basic knowledge of Vox castle. I mean come on you are lvl 47!! Anyways, you go in the main door where the bridge is and hang a couple rights till you pass the frost hound, and the end of that hall ends at a large room with parked goblins scattered about. Right as you enter that room you look to your right and there is another small room with 3 goblins and a ramp leading up. You go up that ramp to another room with 3 goblins and a hall leading out. As you go down that hall you are forced to turn left and there should be a goblin straight ahead of you at the next bend. If you are extremely lucky it will be the Melder, otherwise it will be a placeholder and you will have to camp it for an hour or even longer for it to spawn. Personally I spent about 10+ hours camping that thing to get like 4 Melders to spawn. Then you take your snowball and wine back to Grimm.

Talking trees, faeries, and Twizzletwigs
Now Grimm wants you to take the snowball and wine to some hollowed out tree to perform some summoning ceremony. The tree is in Gramash Ruins (C), pretty much straight north, maybe a little north, northwest of Grimm. Or another way to find it incase you find the orb tower. It's a little sw of the orb tower. It has a little archway type thing in front of the hollowed tree. It's not a very big landmark. So you walk up to the tree and you get a message to start the summoning. So you wait a bit for him to appear. You talk to him for a bit then he tells you that the sweet wood that Grimm wants is off a talking tree near Holciel something aka Tomb of Kings. The directions that guy gives to get there aren't the best. The QUICKEST way to get there it to leave from Highpass. You leave out the east gate and head east,southeast. Get yourself to Deathfist Forge (NW). Get a zone map if you dont know where it is, we have one on the main page of OOE website. The tree's name is like Timerilean or Simerlaen something nutty like that. He is in a green area in the middle of some golden bears and faeries. So you talk to him and he says he will give you one of his branches (even though he gives you a root, what a jip) if you help him out. He says soemthing about some guy named twizzletwig. Apparently this Twizzletwig character has been causing problem and the tree wants you to investigate where he is and what hes up to. Next part i'm leaving as a surprise, cause its cool, but its a very easy part. He warps you and you talk to some people about him then warp back to the tree. He then tells you to go find and deal with Twizzletwig in Tak'Xiz. Tak'Xiz is the zone southwest of oasis i believe. You basically just walk southwest out of oasis till you hit a fairly large ruined city. You may have been there helping someone with their epic quest. There is one temple that you can go down into. Its located in the center of the ruined city near a pond, i believe its on the east side of the pond. If you have the quest in your log as you approach the temple you will get a message, you hear him singing or something. This means he is spawned and is around the city somewhere. Hes kinda hard to find but i usually found him either north or northwest of the pond, maybe west, he wanders. You kill him get his loot and take it back to the talking tree in Deathfist Forge (NW). He then gives you one of his roots and you take the root back to Grimm to get your reward, which is gloves for some and bracers for others.
