Nektropos Castle Timeline

From EQ2i, the EverQuest II wiki

These are heroic quests that take place within Nektropos Castle. This zone is aimed at players of level 30-37. However, it is very challenging below level 32.

• Note about Second Floor: Many of the quests require access to the second floor. It is hard to earn access to the second floor before level 35 (see The Everling Lockets quest for details). However, if one of your groupmates already has access to the second floor, then you can complete many of these quests before level 35.

[edit] Zone Progression Quests

You receive Visions of Hatred when you enter the courtyard for the first time, but it is not required to get the others. The Boar's Head leads directly to The Red Marble so they must be done in sequence. The Everling Lockets can be started without any of the others, but it will be difficult to complete without doing Visions of Hatred and The Red Marble for the accesses they grant.

• Visions of Hatred (30) - gives access to the balcony on the 2nd floor after Sheila is dead
• The Boar's Head (30) - gives access to barracks
• The Red Marble (30) - gives access to library
