verant keeps saying that their are going to be alternative ways to enter tier 3 zones such as halls of honor and crypt of decay via quest rather than uber mobs slayings (i.e. grummus and the Plane of Valor Dragon) but i cant seem to find them. if anyone has information on these quests please post it here. thank you very vey much.

im currently watching several threads regarding this and working on it myself. it is possible but has not yet been completed. if your looking to do this i can give you a little hint what i know your gonna need when i write the completed guide. plane of nightmare - agony mephit heart, found inside the tunnel underwater near the hobgoblins plane of valor - holy water or something like that off of the guards and seargants. there no faction and they arnt that hard. you also need a crystal spider brain from a lucid spider which runs around the wastelands. Plane of Innovation - perilium which is some kind of metal found on the tougher mobs in the zone. if youve gotten this please post what mob droped it. need some stuff from other planes and you need to combine this stuff. no one has completed the quest so dont want to encourage anyone to go further and have them waste their items on a bad turn in. i myself am gonna wait for absolute confirmation. ill keep this thread current as best i can.

Here's some information that was posted on my guild's message board about getting access into Decay: ============================================= Here is more info for those who can't make the Raid and want to get into Crypt of Decay Grimror Plaguebringer is an Ogre in silver platemail that was roaming near the entrance to plane of disease, got him to talk to me, he has a quest You say, 'Hail, Grimror Plaguebringer' Grimror Plaguebringer says 'Grimror no have time ta talk. Gots stuffs ta do.' You say, 'what stuffs?' Grimror Plaguebringer says 'I wuz sent here by Zulort to, err. . . To gadder some alchemy type stuffs. Him have big plan, and need me to travel lots.' You say, 'who is zulort' You say, 'what big plans?' Grimror Plaguebringer laughs. 'Me not tell you dat! Grimror keep secrets secret. You gonna help Grimror or no?' You say, 'I will help grimror' Grimror Plaguebringer says 'Dat good! Grimror been getting compon ents for dayz now and Grimror still not finushed. You gonna get dem tings fur me?' You say, 'what tings?' Grimror Plaguebringer says 'Grimror need bile, dat stuff es strong here! But Grimror keent seem to git eet all. Bile comz from da leetle bugs. Keel little bugs, and geeve Grimror dere leetel bodiez and Grimror give yuuz anyting dat yuuz want. Dere be four leetel buggiez dat Grimror still neez, seegeen, scaveen, genereen, and harroon. Yuuz bring Grimror dere skinz and Grimror geeve you anyting yuuz want.' --- The four mobs are sengian, harrion, scaevian, and generian larva. PH for Harrion larva = a malarian larva(not larvae like all the others, spawns near zone in a bit out near flies) PH for Generian larva = a planarian larva(again just larva, spawns east of castle east of river near pussling camps) PH for Scaevian larva = a Tsetsian Pupa(just pupa, not pupal, spawns a bit east of generian) PH for Sengian larva = (unknown at this point) Reward is: Bangle of Disease Warding MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP AC: 7 Effect: Resist Disease (Must Equip. Casting Time: Instant) WT: 0.3 Size: SMALL Class: NONE Race: NONE It identifies as You begin casting Identify. Item Lore: With this, you may pass into Decay. Bangle of Disease warding has been added to your key ring. And this is what /key showed Grimror's Bracer grants access to the Ruins Lxanvom.

finished collecting these stupid pieces for the halls of honor key...paid this retarded dorf 3kp to smith them together and the fat piece of crap FAILED. more on this lame quest as a progress.

what did you find the perillium off of? I have been having trouble finding that particular piece.

the perillium drops rare off of a corrupted system which is one off those tall robots with the buzz saw arm. id say you get one outa every five you kill. i just charm kited at the zone in but the sumoning mobs are a pain in the butt.

Btw the Sengian larva pops from the Tachnian Larvas over near the pussling huts. I love the Bangle just for the insta cast disease resist heh.

For the PoV quest what else do you need besides holly water? And it IS smithed right?

you can pay someone to smith it for you in PoT but hes a retard and fails all the time. i did this twice and he destroyed all my quest pieces both times...thats why i havnt finished this thread. i refuse to do this quest, ill just wait till i kill the MB in PoI.

You can also just get your Blacksmithing skill up and try it yourself. I believe it trivials at 175. More information can be found at EQTraders ( http://mboards.eqtraders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2158 )

I am starting to think of making a Highelf blacksmith just for cultural armour creation. It would be cheaper to do that than buy the armour from Bazaar.

[u][b]Alternative entrance to Halls of Honor[/b][/u] This quest provides an alternative method to get to Halls of Honor (other than killing Aerin`Dar) [b]NOTE: This will only allow you to exp in HoH, in order to proceed to hohb to kill Mith. Marr you must have the Aerin`Dar flag[/b] Ok, the first thing you need to do is find Grenic Drere in Plane of Valor He is along the left zone wall high up a little before you reach the caves. You say, 'Hail, Grenic Drere' Grenic Drere says 'Mortals, this far into the planes? Something that I never thought that I would see. Regardless that does not help my situation any does it?' You say, 'what situation?' Grenic Drere says 'Not that it is your business, but this is where I call home. I have lost track of the years that I have spent here. This valley is my home, for I was exiled from [Mithaniel's Temple]. It is not a story that I am proud of and do not wish to share with you. So be one with you.' You say, 'what is Mithaniel's Temple?' Grenic Drere says 'Only a mortal would be as thick headed to know not when to take their leave. He and his legions call his temple The Halls of Honor. Paladins that have served him well on Norrath have the opportunity to ascend into his ranks. They are in training to make sure that they are always prepared to defend what they believe is the right and honorable thing to do. Mithaniel is an extremely proud being, and will accept any challenge that you may have to offer him. If you are willing to challenge him, I may have some [information] you will find useful.' You say, 'what information?' Grenic Drere says 'There are other methods to enter the Halls of Honor than those that are readily apparent, and as a former soldier of Marr I can offer you access into the Halls; however as with all such arrangements there must be something [paid] for something earned.' You say, 'what is to be paid?' Grenic Drere says 'I was not the only member of my squad that was sent into exile, my brothers in arms, were the impetus for our exile. I was but a mere pawn. They now reside in the Plane of Justice as bodiless shades. Their punishment was too lax for their actions; I want their eternal souls to be mine. Find a smith who will teach you to create a box of souls, weaken the shades, then capture their souls and return all three to me.' [b]It is rumored that you can smith a box of souls on your own (if you do you'll need a smithing hammer and vial of sacred water), however the trivial is very high and I would suggest forging the box this way:[/b] }:) Find Borik Darkanvil in the Plane of Knowledge. (-400, 500) inside a building. You say, 'Hail, Borik Darkanvil' Borik Darkanvil says 'Greetings, Borik Darkanvil, at your service. I was once a planar traveler like you. Those days are behind me, now I am content to earn my keep as a blacksmith, and to experiment with some of the [special recipes] that I have picked up in these outer planes.' You say, 'what is the box of souls?' Borik Darkanvil says 'Borik Darkanvil's eyes grow narrow. 'So looking to capture some souls are you? It's none of my business I suppose so don't answer. I'm pretty sure that I don't want to know. I paid heavily for the formula for the Box of Souls, but its not a price I would pass on to anyone else. There isn't much to it, but it does take the hands of a skilled smith and the magic of Tanaan's forges to event attempt it. First you will need a block of [Perilium].' You say, 'what Perilium?' Borik Darkanvil says 'Perilium was once used to make clockwork machines, there are now stronger metals so it has become harder and harder to find Perilium, much less a block that is large enough to be of any use. Then you will need to find the brain of a crystal spider, this is where the actual soul will be held. Of course the box will need a supernatural power source, the souls are held into place by the horror of their own dreams, the heart of an agony mephit will give the device that power. Forge these with a smithing hammer and a vial of sacred water and you will have your box. Of course if you have not the skill, I can [forge them for you].' You say, 'forge them for me?' Borik Darkanvil says 'If you return all three items to me I will do the work for you for, a mere three thousand platinum. I will not guarantee my success, but I can guarantee if you do not have the skill, you will fail.' Agony Mephit Heart - drops off of agony mephits inside PoN. Its a rare spawn, and the regular mephits are the ph. Crystalline Spider Brain - drops off of "A Lucid Arachnae" in the PoV wastelands. He is a static spawn on the left side on one of the glass lakes. His ph is a regular spider. It also can be dropped by Luminii Crawler which spawns in Wasteland somewhat rarely. Solid Block of Perilium - The hardest part. This is a very rare drop inside PoI. It seems to drop more often the deeper you go in to the zone off the harder mobs. Return these three items along with 3000 platinum pieces to Borik and he will attempt to smith the box. He can fail this process. If he doesn't you'll receive a Box of Souls. Now you need to capture the souls for Grenic. They are found inside Plane of Justice. Go to the room that is just after the door where you go down the stairs to trials. Kill tormented wraiths and eventually you will see "an exiled
