Talk:Draco Mortuus vos Liberatio
From EQ2i, the EverQuest II wiki
Placing the rods - The pre-last step seems buggy at the moment. But i found out how get this to work. Start with placing on bixie island directly near the cloud station, than placing on gaza island, also directly near the cloud station. Finally placing the last rod in front of the NSC there you started - with a carpet or something like that the time is enough to do it. All other ways not worked for me.
If you want to include this information: I harvested two pieces for this quest in The Loping Plains.
You can also spawn Do'Ellin the Young with the character working on the quest, log to your level 80 main, beat it down to 10% and then relog again. The drake stays about 1 minute in the subdued form. This way you can do the quest solo till the last step.--Alinor 07:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Placing the Rods
- Different spots may work for different runs of this step. Some people suggest just trying to place the rod at the Sinephobis and at the cloud stations of the two other isles, and, if this does not work on some spot, waiting for the timer to expire, regetting the rods and trying again. If you do not wish to wait for the time to run out, try camping to your character (/camp <character name>). When you return, sometimes the rod works at the cloud station even if it did not before.
- Alternatively, you may first try placing the rod on the cloud station on a given Isle, and if this does not work, looking for another spot on the Isle.
- If the spot is not the correct one, the rod's background in your inventory slot will go grey, meaning it is not usable on that location.
- Keep the inventory slot visible or hotkey the rod and run around the isle until the background turns blue again. This means you've found a spot to place the rod on.
- Sometimes, a spot right in the middle of monsters will work.
- There are several suggested spots on each isle on where you might be able to place the rod:
- On Fear Tainted Isle you can place the rod in front of Sinephobis and at the cloud station. It is suggested you start with this spot, then take cloud to Gazer Isle, and from there to Ravasect Incursion Point and finally to Bixie Isle.
- On Gazer Isle it might work at the cloud station, but a better bet is to go to the stones in the opening of the U-shaped temple and place it there.
- On Bixie Isle it may or may not work at the cloud station.
- Sometimes when redoing this step you may find that you only need to place two rods, not three, within the given time frame.
- Try this: Stand on the Cloud Station Platform of Bixie and Gazer isle and relog. That will most of the time enable you to place the rods. We did this and the entire party could finish this stage of the quest. Kennin 21:58, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- What worked for me was, after many attempts of the rod not activating on Gazer Island, I let time run out. On the next attempt, I placed the rod on fear tainted, then on bixie, then i came back and i was able to place on gazer. This worked for us too - fear tainted, then bixie, then gazer. Standing in the cloud seems to work.
- If you get to an island and you can't place the rod, try flying to the island you just came from and then back again (if you ave time).
[edit] Components
If you accidentally destroy the instructions you will have to delete the quest and go get the bones again. When you come back, the quest will update with the fact that you have all the required items.

NOTE: Correction!!!!!! Purple Geodes can only be harvested from firmament stones - not gemstones. I suggest rolling through the ones in the temle of Gazer Isle. You should come up with the goods easily. -Brandon
