I didn't want to bother with this quest at first because it looked long and tedious. I have since become bored on EQ so started this on my cleric just for a time sink. It's not really as bad as I thought it was. Bring lots of invis potions if you don't have the invis spell!

So far I have only done the "solo" parts of the quest and the charm is:
11ac, +7stats, 143hp/mana, +7resists, 5attack, 1regen, 1mana regen, 4avoidance, 1stun resist, rec. level of 5. (no augment)

I have also added labels to my TSS maps and all map pack which reflects where the steps are for the charm! They are yellow, and say "SSC #1" for example. I will reflect the #'s here on this site for references sake. I numbered them in such a way that seemed like the natural progression starting in crescent reach, then moving through the TSS zones from there. In other words if you follow the #s you will be progressing through the zones as they appear, avoiding having to gate and/or run from place to place a ton. Or, if you prefer, you can do the quest in such a way where you do the solo section first, then the group section, than the raids, since I also have it organized in that way.

MAPS / LABELS here ! If you prefer the actual labels to just paste into your map files rather than downloading maps again you can find the labels at the very bottom of this page.

I have broken down the steps by "solo" "group" and "raid" drops. I will also color code them.

Note: Many of the "group" drops from mobs are probably soloable by certain classes, providing they are strong enough to kill the given mob. I do not know which mobs summon and which don't, you will have to check that out on your own. Maybe I will update that as I find out which do/don't.

Red = ground/chest item.
Blue = dropped by mob
Green = Quested

***SOLO***

Blue = dropped by mob
Green = Quested

Tip:
"I just invised inside the building, targeted it, ran outside on the wall closest to it, /open, /tar a_, /loot, and used an invis pot - similar to all the others around mobs. I didn't get any agro - not sure if I would have through the wall eventually or not, but it seemed reasonably easy" - Zayix, Tunare Server
