DoN - Evil (Dark Reign) Progression

[Brohg]

Quoted from

The Dark Reign camp can be found in the Lavastorm Mountains tunnels leading to The Broodlands.

In order to begin more advanced tasks within the Dark Reign camp, you must be of indifferent faction or higher. You can reach this faction by doing various solo or single group tasks.

Wayfarers Mercenaries Varein and Jeryx give out solo tasks on behalf of the Dark Reign while those in the Dark Reign camp offer single group tasks.

Upon completing these tasks, you receive a number of Ebon Crystals (droppable and used to purchase items from Xeib Darkskies) and a Dark Reign Token. The Token can be turned in to Wayfarers Mercenary Limann for the following faction hits:

+Dark Reign
+Lanys T`Vyl
-Norrath's Keepers
-Firiona Vie

Upon reaching indifferent faction, you are able to do more advanced missions for the evil side..

Begin by speaking with Commander Zaerr Ty`Dar, who will send you to Officer Sirrikis Ryktor. You will receive three tasks:

"Blood of the Basilisk" -- Loot five Simmering Basilisk Bloods from Tirranun's Delve
"Clearing the Path" -- Kill eight Stillmoon Drakes in Stillmoon Temple
"The Burning Poison" -- Loot five Caustic Lavaspinner Venoms from Lavaspinner's Lair

Upon completion of those tasks, speak with Commander Zaerr Ty`Dar to receive a character flag. You will then need to talk to Officer Vacax Rol`Tas for a mission:

"Have Note Will Travel" -- Kill (how many?) goblins in Tirranun's Delve to spawn the Goblin Task Master. Kill the Task Master and loot the Letter from Tirranun. You will now have to kill nine Goblin Guards in various parts of the zone. Upon doing so and zoning out, your task is completed. You receive 33 Ebon Crystals.

Return to the Dark Reign camp and give speak with Commander Zaerr Ty`Dar to receive the following:

-Two AAs
-New ability, Gift of the Dark Reign (enables you to increase maximum of stats by 10)

Head back to the Commander and speak with him. This will flag you for the next step in progression. You will also get flagged for the Tirranun raid (not required for progression).

Speak with Officer Sirrikus Ryktor and recive three tasks:

"Army of Stone" -- Loot five Animated Guardian Essences from Stillmoon Temple
"Blood from Sand" -- Loot seven Impure Goblin Bloods from Stillmoon Temple
"Reap the Kirin Mind" -- Loot three Pristine Kirin Brains from The Ascent

Head back to the Commander and speak with him to receive a flag. Now speak to Officer Vacax Rol`Tas, who gives you yet another mission:

"Drake Egg" -- In The Ascent, kill drakes until you are able to loot a Drake Egg. This will spawn a Goblin Guard at the zone-in. Kill him, and give the Drake Egg to Celrak Blightblood in the Lavastorm Mountains. Upon doing so, your task is completed and you receive 38 Ebon Crystals.

Speak with Captain Aleeth Zyrv to gain information on the Calling Emoush raid event.

"Calling Emoush" is a 24-player raid event in Tirranun's Delve. A fairly straight forward event, you need to kill Emoush's three guards and then take him out. Loot a Glowing Stone Fragment his corpse. Bring this to the Commander for a flag and:
-Two AAs
-Tenacity of the Dark Reign (250 hp/mana/end)
-Your 69th level spell/tome.

In order to continue on after this step, you must have high aimiable faction..

If you speak with General Lereh Dirr, you can gain access to the Reflections of Silver and Kessdona's Perch events - two non-progression missions.

On the progression end of things, you must now speak to Officer Sirrikis Ryktor, who will assign you three tasks:

"Muddy the Waters" -- Kill nine Stillmoon Water Servants in Stillmoon Temple
"Snowfoot attack" -- Kill 10 Snowfoot Goblins in The Ascent
"Knowledge is Power" -- Loot seven Scrolls of Knowledge from Thundercrest Isles

Upon completing these tasks and speaking with the Commander, you will have access to a single group mission and raid event:

"The Gilded Scroll" -- single-group mission given by Vaxax Rol`Tas. Go into the Thundercrest Isles and kill mobs, looting scrolls off their corpses. Upon looting the correct one, it will turn into a Gilded Scroll of Earth Rending. After this, kill Noble Kirn Scholar. Do this and turn the gilded scroll in to Daleynn Spiritshadow in Lavastorm for a flag.

"Volkara's Bite" -- 42-player raid in Lavaspinner's Lair, results in Lava Spider Spinners from Volkara, a lava spider.

Give the Lava Spider Spinners to the Commander for a character flag and move on to the next raid event.

"Trial of Perseverance" is a 24-player raid in Stillmoon Temple, results in Goblin Warlord's Beads from A Stillmoon Warlord.

Turn the beads in to the commander to receive:

-Two AAs
-New ability: Embrace of the Dark Reign (increase buff slot limit by one)

Speak with Commander Zaerr Ty'dar again and get access to two raid events.

"Guardian of the Sands" is a 42-player raid given by Captain Aleeth Zyrv and takes place in Stillmoon Temple. You must kill Shogurei, Guardian of the Sands, loot the Quintessence of Sand and give it to Commander Zaerr Ty'Dar for a character flag.

-New ability Power of the Dark Reign (increase of critical melee/magical attacks and heals)

Server-first-time completion of this event opens The Accursed Nest to your server.

In order to continue in the progression quest, you must have at least high warmly faction. You now must complete a single group mission and a raid event.

Speak with the Commander for a flag.

"Rival Party" is a single group mission in the Accursed Nest and is given by Officer Vacax Rol'Tas. In this mission you must kill four Norrath`s Keepers NPCs and then loot six Eggs of a Saved Clutch off random mobs in the zone. Bring one of the eggs to Pericolo L`Morte in the Dark Reign camp for a character flag and 54 Ebon Crystals.
