Diren Hold - Order of Echelon

LEVEL 47 PART THREE

Third Quest:

Dark Elf Miners??? What is the world coming to??
After you get done with teh second quest talk to Grimm again to begin the third and final quest from him. Something horrible has happened!! Grimms new hammer broke his anvil!! A sad day for a dwarf indeed. Heh, anyways he wants you to find a boat load of some thulite ore to fashion a new one with. He tells you to go find some dark elf miners in Cazic-Thule and investigate where some thulite might be. The dark-elf miner is in the main temple, i mentioned this temple earlier on as where you find ore 5 and 6 from those Tae Ew, just scroll up to see how to get there. Well in the main temple i said there was a pyramid you drop down in, DONT drop in this time. Instead when you walk into the room with the pyramid walk around the pyramid base to your right and you will see a little camp against the right wall. He will probalby be there or stand around for a bit and he will spawn. He is a very easy kill for most people and his spawn time is fast so this part will go quick. The you get his loot and take it back to Grimm.

Translating and Guking
After you give the dark elf miner loot to Grimm, he tells you to travel into the Guk dungeon to find Maerik N'Toxis. Incase you have never been to Guk dungeon, you travel straight south from Hazinak till you see a building in the jungle with lots of Frokloks running around. You face East to enter the building. Most stuff inside the dungeon doesnt see invis. So if you keep invis up you can make it all the way to where Maeriks placeholder is. There are many many different paths in Guk, the best way i can explain how to get there would be to in general follow the left wall and go down when there is a ramp. If you know where the lost frog from 43 quests you go past him coming from the bridge with fungal guys and follow the left wall till you come to a room with a building in it and a moat around the building. Its the building that the Frogluk King is in. Its also the room where the ambassador for the 45 quests is. If you still dont think you can find it or have any idea where it is, you should probably find someone that does to lead you down there. OK, so right when you enter that building where the frog king is, there should be 4 spawns on the top floor. Two of the mobs are kinda in a corner, the other two mobs and in 2 corner near the first ramp leading down into the building. If you are standing at the top of the ramp facing the two mobs the placeholder is the mob on the right. This guy can respawn anywhere from 10min to 4 hours. My suggestion is that the person with the quest to do teh placeholder dance! This may just be for good luck, but we sat there and killed the placeholder for 4 hours and no Maerik spawn. Then Frampton (the one with the quest in his log at that point) started dancing on the spot where the placeholder stands between spawns, then all of a sudden we got 3 Maerik spawns in 30mins. So after you get his loot you take it back to Grimm. Grimm tells you that he can't read it and needs it translated by some guy in Highpass. So you travel to Highpass, I cant remember they guys name. But that room north of the bank with the ramp that goes all the way to the top where the Lord and Lady of Highpass are, this is the building the translator is in. You go to the second floor and find a gnome wiz with a bookcase behind him, he is the translator and he will translate your loot off Maerik for about 3k Tunar. After you are done with that you take it back to Grimm.

Fun with Golems
Then Grimm tells you that the darkelves made a giant golem statue out of thulite, and that you need to animate and kill the golem to get the chunks of thulite he needs for his anvil. To animate the golem you have to kill his 2 protectors and take thier loot and put it in the Big golem to animate him. The golem is located in Tak'Xiv (SW) on a wooden walkway that is kinda falling apart. It is pretty much straight west of that House D'Narus that is along the river they mention in the quest log. So your best bet is to swim west out of Oasis till you find the House D'Narus darkelves and head west and search Tak'Xiv till you find the falling apart walkway. You wont be able to con the golem or his protectors so just find the walkway. The walkway only has one ramp going up and it has a hut in the middle and the unaminate golem is at the end of the walkway. You need the quest in you log and at this part of the quest to spawn teh protectors. You just walk in the hut on the walkway and they both will spawn and start to attack you. Hopefully you got 1 or 2 of your buds with ya to help kill them. Take their 2 loots, the are called Something A and Something B, i cant remember . Then walk over to the golem and you will get a message asking if you want to put the two parts in the golem. After you place them in the golem he animates and starts attacking. Kill him and he drops 4 thulite chunks for all your party members. Take the thulite chunk back to Grimm and he gives you your xp and you last reward which is a set of leggings.

Now wasn's that easy??
