[edit] Notes
The entrance to Chardok is located in the Northern Kylong Plains, north of the Highton and east of Jarsath Wastes. A quick way to reach Chardok is to take the Sokokar from Teren's Grasp to Jarsath Wastes and jump off when you are close to the entrance.
The path to the zone in is filled with hostile non-heroic Di'Zok Sarnak that are easy enough to get through if you have a good mount or high run speed.
The first part of the zone contains solo chokidai, Bathezid Sarnak (aggro to you even if you have good faction with Bathezid's watch) and sokokar devourers. None of these mobs see invisible characters. Once past the entrance, all mobs are heroic, but only some of them see invis. It is therefore possible (but difficult) to sneak through and explore a small part of the zone for discovery xp and AA.
[edit] Gate Crystals
There are 3 gates in Chardok which you need a gate crystal to pass. The crystals drop from gatekeeper mobs in a building near each gate. They are tradeable and only one group member needs a crystal.
- a Bathezid gate crystal - for green gate (possible to use sokokar to get past this gate)
- a Nak'azar gate crystal - for blue gate
- a Caroeth gate crystal - for red gate
[edit] Library
Towards the bottom of Chardok there is a Library area which is inaccessible without collecting 3 books and offering them to the guardian of the library.
When you enter the Chardok Palace there are steps that go up and down (loc 854, -30, 204). You need to go upstairs first to harvest 3 books (Volumes 1-3 of the Encyclopedia of Mutagenica, all group members can harvest a copy) from the two rooms up there, in order to enter the room with the update.:
- Encyclopedia of Mutagenica Vol I in the south room (loc 857, -21, 134).
- Encyclopedia of Mutagenica Vol II in the south room (loc 868, -21, 135) or north room (loc 890, -21, 275).
- Encyclopedia of Mutagenica Vol III in the north room (loc 890, -21, 275).
Once you go down the stairs, kill or distract the first named long enough for someone to pull the switch to lift the gate. In the hallway which is revealed, give the 3 books to a golem named Re'Adon at location 990, -44, 341, who will unlock the secret passage to the Library. Follow him through three walls, while killing the mobs that aggro along the way. He will stop in the central room.
The 3 books will now become non-agro mobs which, if anyone enters the room, will attack you. Wait for the heirophant to step out of the room, and then arrow-pull each book and kill it. Then kill the heirophant.
Several epic weapon quests update in this area.
