This quest, for access to Nektropos Castle, is no longer required but may be completed for experience and to unlock a Nektropos quest. It is initiated by examining a skeleton on the J'Rais Bridge at -258, 5, 222 (the bridge near The Commonlands).
After the quest initiates you must speak to Theeral the Nomad at -306, 0, 179 . He is found just north of the bridge.
Theeral the Nomad will give you the Flesh Bound Tome. You can read this book for information on the next step of your quest.
You must now visit Timber Falls( 501, 27, -1519 ) . This is a waterfall that can be reached by swimming upstream on the river nearby. Swim until you reach the waterfall. The trigger point is on the left hand side of the waterfall, on land.
The next step requires you to reach the top of N'Mar's Ascent. The base of the steps is at -398, 1, -1235 . If you have invisibility and are level 20+ you may be able to invis past everything to reach the top without fighting. The top of the steps/trigger point is at -399, 59, -1296 .
The third step of the quest is to scout Bone Lake. The trigger point for this step is at -866, 141, -2148 .
Once you have scouted Bone Lake you can return to Theeral the Nomad. Theeral will inform you that you now need to kill a dragoon lieutenant in Nektulos, which are confirmed to be at the drawbridge at the Gul`Thex Citadel ( 697, 22, -707 ) .
The last stretch of the quest is to find three monuments near Nektropos Castle in the northeast corner of the zone. All of them are visible if you walk along the moat. Locations are:
-1483, 112, -1988
-1386, 112, -1689
-1586, 112, -1885
Now visit the shrine at -1571, 112, -1991 .
The final step of the quest is to walk up to the doors of the castle then speak to the Herald of Nektropos who will complete the quest.
-258.02, 4.65, 221.56 is the exact loc on the bridge to get the quest starter.
The description of the Timber Falls is correct, however the loc isnt. The loc provided sends me to the beach. The loc on which i got my update is 501.01, 26.57, -1519.08.
I can confirm spawn at the Gul'Thex Citadel for a Dragoon Lieutenant. Looks like it's a static spawn at this time. Maybe an update of this guide is in order?
SoE must have figured this out and nerfed the spawn. All I find now is 3 single skellys, either sentrys or patrolmen. I've been killing here for 45 minutes now with no LT spawn.
I found the 3 monuments, but before I could activate (touch) the last one I got killed; I went back and the quest was bugged now I can't touch it what so ever. Anybody could give me a idea how to fix this? Am I supposed to touch all 3 (I thought so). What am I doing wrong?
for the ding for the N'mar's ascent, you can go to the top without aggro by stayin to the side of the building and climbing up the cliff there...just a lil tip
Agreed about the Coords for the Dragoon Lieutenant not being any good. Only one I found was at the entrance to the Citadel of Gul'Thex. +640,-722 This was a single MOB, lvl 28 ^^^ Heroic.
As of July 2006, None of those locations have been accurate for the Dragoon Lieutenant... at least on the Najena Server.. there are no solo ones... just a group of 3 level 29 heroics, and a single heroic 3 ups at the Burial Chamber...
Galantir, to check coords type in /waypoint 0,0,0 (replace the zeroes with the coords you want to use).
As for having the correct coords, please fix this database. Mandatory things for coords should be:
1) CORRECT COORDS! Timber Falls is not to the east of the docks, it's 490, 25, -1537
2) WE NEED ALL 3 NUMBERS! You cannot leave one out and call it a day, all 3 numbers specify the x,y and z coords on the map, and are required for inputting them in to a waypoint properly.
Well i didnt find the dragoon lieutenant @ the first spot but if you head to -975.50, -1015.08 and turn right on the path comin from the south, you will see 2 of them 1 v lvl 28 mob & a vv 27 group with 2 other vv's.
Found the Dragoon LT on top of the guard tower, in the Gul'Thex Citadel, If they are all grey its easy to walk passed the named T'Sanne and kill the mob of 3.. Top tower on the back right wall. =-)
I scanned through several pages of comments, and did not see this mentioned so here goes...
Some guildmates & I wrapped up the heritage quest "Dragoon K'Naae of the Thexians" (Shiny Brass Halberd). While doing the ring event step of this quest in the Gul'Thex castle, I got an update for killing a Dragoon lieutenant. I am not sure if the lieutenant only spawned because we were flagged for the SBH HQ, but it may be worth checking this site out before running all over the rest of Nek Forest looking for one of hte other lieutenant spawns.
when all's said and done its just an access quest, to me it does not matter what other quests need this place, for people doing HQ's its a must have and if you are the "right" level then its also a good place to go, but take the actual quest its self, running about doing all that to get vertually nothing in return, IMO is not worth a 10+
Have to agree with Myotonic all this quest does is give you access to the castle, whoever put this as amazing is a clown, lowest mobs i can see are 31 Heroic ^^ and thats just at the entrance
there was no coin/item and the XP recived was about 3%.
i was a level 27monk so no use at all coming here.
To those of you that say that the middle number isn’t necessary, I say onto you “Go into a zone in which you have never been and that is at least 12 - 15 levels above you and is filled with ^^^ heroics and things that agro by proximity, sight, sound, smell and whatever else they use to agro and you have to get to the other side of the zone and all you have is yourself (nobody else in the zone) , lousy armor/weapons and a waypoint with only the first and last numbers”. Then lets hear you talk about how the middle number is not needed.
Completed it very easily as a lvl 24 Bruiser, just did alot of running from stuff and had to step easily as to not get seen. The description for money and item's says Amazing, that need's to be changed to crapola. All you get is entrance to the castle, woo hoo! NOT It start's with lvl 30 foes, so it's useless to me for now. Very dissapointed ;7I
