Crusaders
of Mithaniel Marr
Honor and justice above all else, this is the way of Marr's forces, the
Honor Guard. While they accept anyone who upholds the same ideals, they
fight with ferocity against anyone who rejects them. Painfully obvious
to anyone that speaks with a member of the Honor Guard, they were fervently
motivated to get through the portal once the opportunity had arisen. Supporters
of the cause follow Mithaniel Marr for his efforts, and believe his willingness
for action shows his true strength. Skeptics wonder if his faction's motivations
are pure, and if their pursuit of justice is gambling with Norrath's future
by maintaining an open link between our lands and what lies beyond.
The Crusaders
of Mithaniel Marr are at war with:
Warlords of Zek, Akessan Elders, Rallos Zek, Vallon Zek, Tallon Zek Kepper
of Memories, The Akessan Council, and the Hidden Akessan
1. Talk to the Honor Guard Lt. Jenkavs, in ZP(E), by a campfire. He gives you documents, and sends you to Lt. Noblig, who is NorthWest of Jenkavs, near the Honor Guard building.
2. Lt. Noblig sends you to Special Ops Leader, who is East of Noblig.
3. Special Ops Leader sends you back to Lt. Jenkavs.
4 Lt. Jenkavs, rewards you with 3k tunar and 10 Mil in XP. He informs you about the next part of quest, to free the Field reporter, which will require at least a full group. (xp!)
5. Infiltrate the Zaoran structure and free Morduk, who is located at the top of the building under a lean-to. Return to Lt. Jenkavs and let him know Morduk was freed.
* A guard will port you to Zaoran Plateau (SE) – on a stone column in the middle of lava.
6. Talk to Field Reporter Cygled who's south-ish from Jenkavs (east of the Honor Guard encampment. Careful since there are 2 wisps near him. After talking he'll walk outside of the camp and basically tell the zaorans to come kill him. After a min or 2, 3 red cons will run into the camp from west-ish. You don't need to kill these 3(if you don't they'll kill the reporter but don't worry he'll respawn), the one you'll need will be the Zaoran Saboteur who will come from the same direction after about 5 mins. You can isolate the saboteur from the assassins if you wait outside the camp and engage him as soon as he comes in from the west. He drops 4 x Zaoran Saboteur's Blade. Loot an item and return to Field Reporter Cygled who will send you back to Lt. Jenkavs. (xp!)
7. Jenkavs tells you to go help an Akessan to defect to the marr side by making a convincing kill. This Akessan is in fire giant form and is located just across the first bridge to the Akessan area. He'll be on the left(as you cross the bridge) with 2 invis Akessans in front of him. The invis akessans won't agro but the giant will. He has less hp and defense than saboteur but is still dangerous. Killing an Akessan (Fire Giant) will give you a popup that is probably aoe, and thanks you for releasing him.
8. Jenkavs then tells you that they are suspicious of this defector and wants you to eavesdrop on him. The marr guys have given the defector his own lil spot in the marr area which is north-ish from Jenkavs (near where the Spellsmith spawns). Lots of wisps around so make sure you watch where you're going. Once you get close to the Akessan Defector, you'll get a few popups that confirm Jenkavs suspicions that the Defector isn't really defecting. Go back to Jenkavs and tell him the bad news.
9. Jenkavs
tells you to go back and show them how they deal with traitors. Go back
to the Defector's little spot and talk to him, this will make an attackable
version of the Defector spawn and there will probably be an Akessan Battle
Priest there as well.
Before you pull, we had trouble with normal honor guards attacking. Idk
why but they made short work of my healer buddy so there is a safe spot
to pull to the east-ish right before you fall into lava. I was able to
bow pull the attackable Defector and run over there so we could fight
without getting harassed by marr guys.
You'll need to kill the invisible Akessan Defector so that the visible
Akessan Defector spawns. Kill this one and he will drop 4 x Akessan Charm.
10. Loot the Charm and return to Lt. Jenkavs for another reward of 5k tunar and 20 mill or so xp.
11.
Lt. Jenkavs will tell you to go kill the Akessan Battle Priest and the
Rallosian Captain:
* The
Akessan Battle Priest is a different one than the one by the Defector.
This Priest is in the 2nd Akessan area which is across the 2nd akessan
bridge (where the Akessan Collector spawns). He'll be on the right as
you enter this area in front of a tent that has a wisp inside. He cons
white and his first form is easy to kill however his 2nd form is tougher.
He drops 4 x Battle Priest Wand.
* The
Rallosian Captain is in the Rallosian Tower (Zek building-first
floor along the back wall) to the west-ish of where you port into zp.
You'll have to kill your way in, keep boxes fresh until you are able to
pull the Captain. He
drops 4 x Captain's Axe
12. Return to Lt. Jenkavs, with the Captain's Axe and the Battle Priest Wand. Doing so will officially align you with the Honour Guard.
You will receive Mithaniel Marr Crusaders (+500), and -2k faction with both Rallos Zek and the Akessan Collective.
You are now
able to log the armour quest by
speaking with Lieutenant Merkym. You will need to farm these 12 gems
for him to craft your armour:
Boots: Topaz gem and flawed carnelian
Bracelet: Flame opal and garnet
Gloves: Onyx sapphire and flame emerald
Helm: Lava ruby and amethyst
Leggings: Nephrite and a sea sapphire
Tunic: Pristine emerald and flawless diamond
During the farming for your armour gems, make sure you turn in the weapons for faction. You must get your faction to 2k with Mithaniel Marr Crusaders; turning in the weapons help, but you can also complete the "Portal Quests" now located up in ZP. You'll want to complete the Fiery and/or Arcane Portal quests. Also, keep you eyes out for NPCs you can help with recon work, setting traps, finding traps enemies have set, or taking down traitorous spies. All these quests help improve your faction.
Once you've completed your gem farming, and had your armour made, talk to Lt. Jenkavs who will give you a Marr's Insignia. The insignia allows you to destroy your armour (which takes up six inventory spaces) but still have proof that you completed the Marr armour quest.
Ensure your faction with The Crusaders of Mithaniel Marr is 2k and you will be able to log the ability quest with the Master Spellsmith. He simply requires that you turn over a Mystical Parchment and will exchange it with your ability. This is a fairly common drop. Abilities by archetype.
You may now access different Tier mobs without being ported off the island.
Completing the Armour set and ability quest will give you access to a blacksmith, banker and a grocer.
