The Rise of Kunark has introduced three new languages to Norrath which must be quested as a two-stage process. For each language, you must first collect the pages from a mysterious tome. The page locations are all static. Once you have collected the pages, you can hand them to a collector NPC who will give you a book in return. Reading the book will give you a quest to find the owner, who will in turn send you on quests to help him. Once you have helped the owner of the book, you will gain the basics of the language.

You must speak Sathirian to do the repeatable quest for Riliss faction at the Ruins of Cabilis. The heroic quest For a Few Coins More (part of the Fists of Metal sequence) requires someone in the group to speak Di’zokian.

There is a full write-up for each tome and the resulting quests on MMORPG Info so it is quick and easy to gain these languages:

• Froak: A Mysterious Green Tome
• Di’zok: A Mysterious Red Tome
• Sathirian: A Mysterious Black Tome

Our Druid Ring Guide has been updated to include the locations of the rings in Kylong Plains and Kunzar Jungle. Make sure to dash over and pick up the shrubbery from these two rings.

The Kylong Plains portal is easy to run to: from the docks head to the path at 997,67,-25 and follow it up to the mountains. There are KOS mobs at the turn after you hit the snow but if you keep left you can avoid them easily. Then just head north by northwest until you get to the rings at 1618,458,-803.

It’s a bit more difficult travelling through Kunzar Jungle, a wild and dangerous place!

To get to the druid rings there, stick to the paths and use sneak or invisibility if you can. There is a ramp at -147,-45,28: run up it and then climb the ladder at -227,-24,49. This is the Abandoned Village and you’ll find the druid ring (and a sokokar post) on your left after climbing the ladder.

There is a faction quest for tradeskillers in Kylong Plains called New Lands, New Profits which will open up the ability to do faction writs for the Riliss and for Bathezid’s Watch in the Fens. Once you have gained 10,000 positive faction with either of these you can purchase the level 70 to 75 advanced tradeskill books from their merchants. At 20,000 faction and 30,000 faction there are unique recipes for each crafting class. This is a bit of a tedious process compared to the quests and aimed at tradeskillers who are too low level to progress faction through adventuring. However, the initial quests are fun at all levels and rewards tradeskill experience.

To gain the quest, you have at least level 65 in your tradeskill. Adventure level is not relevant. The quest does not require [More...]

The Rise of Kunark has introduced a new travel system using Sokokar posts to get from point to point. If you are an adventurer with a level of 65 or higher, you must do adventurer quest line as offered by Borbin Happens.

However, if you have a tradeskill at level 65 or over and you are under level 65 in adventure levels, you can do a separate quest line offered by Jones, his assistant. This quest does not require any killing.

Jones is stood at the dock leading to the Antonica boat, next to Borbin’s Happens at 835,13,255. She will [More...]

The first thing to do upon your arrival in Kylong Plains is to sort out your access to the Sokokar posts. Until you do this quest line, you can not “add” posts for fast travel. There is a separate quest line for tradeskillers to use the travel options but for the moment, here is the quest line for adventurers.

Start the quest line by speaking to Borbin Happens, Dreg’s Landing Lieutenant. He’s standing at /waypoint 835,13,255, at the beginning of the dock for the boat to Antonica. [More...]
