What does this information mean?


Master Bowyer Mossberge said that the last known location of the Faydark's Champions was near the mouth of the Long Draw in the Loping Plains over three centuries ago. It may be a long shot but I could look around there for a clue. If I want to begin investigating Master Bowyer Mossberge's legend I should start by searching the location in the Loping Plains he mentioned.

Note: You will need 245 Foresting skill and at least 10,000 faction with Irontoe Brigade to complete step 5 of this quest!

Note: Periodically through this quest (at least up to and including step 9, but not confirmed beyond that), while roaming through Greater Faydark and possibly other zones, you will be attacked by a werewolf pack leader and three direwolves (levels seem to vary, depending on the zone where they spawn) which spawn at seemingly random locations. They are not roped to any specific point apparently, and will chase you across the zone if you attempt to flee.

Among some of the spots where they have spawned:

  1. The Lesser Faydark, near stable master that is next to zone line to Greater Faydark.
  2. The Lesser Faydark, near the Aphotic Intersection and entrance to the Shadowed Grove.
  3. Greater Faydark, on path that heads south to Steamfont Mountains zone line.
  4. The Lesser Faydark, near stable master that is next to zone line to Butcherblock Mountains.
  5. Greater Faydark, on path that heads south to New Tunaria. <= Confirmed at Valor May 27.2008

[edit] Steps

Speak to Master Bowyer Mossberge at ( 454, 97, 354 ) /waypoint 454, 97, 354 in Tunare's Pages in Kelethin to start the quest.

  1. Go to the Loping Plains, to the mouth of the Long Draw, where it comes out of the mountain, and find Ranger Oast.
    • If he is not up, you will find a wounded werewolf (level 52 ^^^ Heroic) at ( -60, 11, -437 ) /waypoint -60, 11, -437 nearby. Kill him to spawn the Ranger, who will call you over to him.
  2. Talk to Ranger Oast about the Faydark's Champions. He sends you to find Captain Trueshot ( 941, 81, -180 ) /waypoint 941, 81, -180 in The Lesser Faydark.
  3. Head South of the Wu Encampment and find Captain Trueshot at ( 941, 81, -180 ) /waypoint 941, 81, -180
  4. Speak to Captain Trueshot and he will give you some information on what the Faydark's Champions have been up to all this time.
  5. Collect the materials to create a Rain Caller bow for him.
    • You need to find a spool of dwarven wire.
    • You need to find two perfect micro servos. You can probably get these from the clockworks in Klak'Anon.
      • You can get these from several of the mobs farther into Klak'Anon, keep destroying the level 52 (or higher level, not flying) clockworks till it updates the quest. An easy spot is in the Zoo ( -337.32, 8.71, -31.23 ) /waypoint -337.32, 8.71, -31.23
    • You need to find a bough of Moonlight Wood. Where am I going to find that?
      • Moonlight wood comes from the Moonlight trees. These trees magically appear in the middle of the night (spawns at 10 PM game time) and vanish before dawn. Sadly, only one of these trees still exist after the burning of the Faydark during the war. It can sometimes be found at night on a high cliff in Greater Faydark overlooking the entrance to the Koada'Dal city of New Tunaria at ( -1006, 115, 428 ) /waypoint -1006, 115, 428. It doesn't despawn after quest item is gathered, allowing others to gather it as well.
        • NOTE: You need Foresting skill of 245 or higher to be able to complete this step.
    • I need to get some Gold Fairy Dust. Legend says only a Fae Princess can create the dust.
      • To get the Gold Fairy Dust, you should talk to Princess Saphronia in Greater Faydark in the Tree City of Kelethin ( 389, 145, 164 ) /waypoint 389, 145, 164 Once you speak to her she tells you that she will not help you, You then strike a deal with her to help restore her family protector, Sir Gearheart, and in return she will give you the Gold Fairy Dust.
        • Complete the sub-quest: Saphronia's Request
          • The sub-quest is required to receive the gold fairy dust at any Kelethin faction level.
          • 8/23/09 Level 70 Fae ranger with 50k faction received the Fairy Dust without doing the sub-quest.
  6. Now that you have all the items, you need to find a Bowyer that can assemble them.
    • Head back to the city of Kelethin and speak with Master Bowyer Mossberge at ( 460, 97, 360 ) /waypoint 460, 97, 360. He will make the Newly Created Rain Caller Bow for you, but in order for you to create the Rain Caller you need the enchantment of a High Elf. He mentioned there was one living near where you got the Moonlight Wood and that you should seek him out.
  7. Find Fethinal the Enchanted at ( -838, 71, 542 ) /waypoint -838, 71, 542 inside a hollowed-out stump near the entrance of New Tunaria (formerly Felwithe) and speak to him. He will enchant the bow, giving you a Newly Created Rain Caller Bow. (Fethinal also starts a signature quest called Koada'dal Magi's Craft.)
  8. Take it to Captain Trueshot in the The Lesser Faydark so he can fight the werewolves.
  9. Kill the werewolf dragoons:
    1. Kill the Lieutenants using the Newly Created Rain Caller Bow. (To do this, fight the mob until they reach 1% when they will fall to the ground. Use the bow on them to get the update!):
    2. Dragoon Cpt. K'Venx (58^^^) is located in The Lesser Faydark in the Shadowed Grove ( 322, 0, 561 ) /waypoint 322, 0, 561. Head to the southwest area of The Lesser Faydark (through the Aphotic Intersection. Be alert, the werewolf and his wolfpack may ambush you. Once in the Shadowed Grove head to your left and climb the long root up to the ledge. Dragoon Cpt. K'Venx will pop as you get there. This mob uses knockback, so keep yourself up against a wall.
  10. Return to Captain Trueshot to tell him of your success.
    • He reveals his true nature to you and attacks, so kill him! He is a level 60^^^ vampire and spawns two 57^^ rangers with him, Ranger Oast & Ranger Aldarys. He uses some kind of debuff which lowers the effective level of his target by 5 levels as if you were mentoring down.
  11. Once you kill Captain Trueshot, Huntmaster Viswin will spawn and yell at you for ruining his game. He then takes your Newly Created Rain Caller Bow, as a prize, to his Master's abode and sends a Level 60^^^ werewolf pack leader and three (or 5-6 at lvl 70) Level 60^ direwolves to attack you. If you wipe during this and the Huntmaster takes your bows, do not worry. Captain Trueshot will respawn if the werewolves depop before you get back, and he will reply to hails as if you still had the bows.
    • Note: This step updates when you kill the werewolves encounter.
  12. Head to the Loping Plains to catch Huntmaster Viswin in front of the steps of Castle Mistmoore. Huntmaster Viswin is a level 60^^^ Epic x2. He will pop when you get close, even if he has just been killed by others. He spawns with 1-2 groups of 3 level 60^^^ vicious dire wolves.

[edit] Epilogue

  • Huntmaster Viswin of Castle Mistmoore was behind the disappearance of the last of the Faydark's Champions and a portion of the Dragoons of Nay'thox! He infected the Champions with Vampirism and the Dragoons with Lycanthropy and has pitted them against each other for centuries for his own amusement. In the process of discovering this, I created a Rain Caller bow, the legendary weapon of the Faydark's Champions, which I recovered from the Huntmaster after he stole it from me. Although I defeated the Huntmaster, I have a feeling I'll be seeing him again...
