Betrayal Completed

[Alan]

Saturday I finaly finished the betrayal quest, and would like to say a huge thanks to those who helped me out - especialy Phoenix Legion for helping me to kill the named mobs. This quest is something i would NEVER want to repeat again, but its nice to have a Dark Elf running around in Qeynos now.

I started this quest at Level 16 in Freeport, for anyone that is considering take note of the following steps, make SURE you want to do this as there is no turning back.

The really depressing parts :-

• Loose your spirit shard and not be able to get it back - 72hrs of reduced stats
• Have to kill 500 gnolls (or orcs)
• Kill 6 named mobs all are white++ or yellow++ to level 16 : you do need a group
• Find NPC's in the middle of fields of agro mobs
• Be without a city, banker, house, crafting, quests
• Not be able to level past 17 until you have completed the quest
• Talk to some NPC's and give approx 16 replies for each one you get wrong your fined 2 gold

The named are really a problem, you can not solo them and need help - by the time you get help someone else has generalty killed them - i mean after all you see a mob with a name and you think LOOT !!!! I watched as one name was killed three times ont he same day while i was trying to get help.

Oh no those steps sound impossible I really wanted to join the dark side too.

Talk to some NPC's and give approx 16 replies for each one you get wrong your fined 2 gold

What happens if you havn't got 2 gold? The way my finances currently are there's no way I'll have 2 gold by then!

I gather you can start the betrayal quest at level 14 - presumably you'd recommend this if you have to kill 500 beasties? That should be enough xp to get to 17 as it is I would have thought? It sounds like the whole process might be easier for a scout who can stealth through the agro mobs - and you can track the named mobs?

The quest stalls untill you pay the fine - then you carry on answering the questions, there are 3 NPC's each ask need about 6-8 replies if i recall - Aslong as you READ them and take your time picking an answer they are not too hard.

At the start of the quest you go into an instanced zone your first encounter is a group of two yellows (at L16) that attack you together - then after resting a 3rd yellow. In beta this quest could be started at Level 10 - and the mobs were orange/red then, at level 16 they were yellow and I only barely managed to take out the group of 2 x yellows, this was as a crusader. Ive heard that a healer class with good items could do this at 15, but a rogue with no healing and low armor shouldnt attempt it till 16 or even 17

just finished the quest myself some days ago, the conversation parts aint that hard if you just use your head, quest went pretty well for me, the most boring part of it all, was camping greycons for 6-7 hours straight for the 500gnolls thing....
