Hello everyone! This site has been an amazing resource for me the past 3 months or so. Here is a guide I put together for the SS CS key quest to add something to this site. Thanks for such an awesome site! Badji Minstril on Ayonae Ro Key to Cobalt Scar (Sky Shrine quest to get Cobalt Scar key) In order to pass beyond Skyshrine, the Dragons of the Claws of Veeshan demand that you prove your loyalty to them by performing a small task. Sentry Enots sends you to see Ziglark, the herald. You are then told that he has not heard from his spy in Kael Drakkal for some time and that he needs you to deliver his payment (200pp) and a note to their spy. The spy, named Wenglawks Kkeak, can be found in Kael Drakkal (near the lesser nobles building across from the bank). Take 200 pp and the note you received from Ziglark to him and Wenglawks will give you "the information your employer has requested". Return this information to Ziglark for a "Shrine Key". You must be warmly or higher with Claws of Veeshan to complete the quest. There are 3 parts to this quest. Getting the note from Ziglark in Skyshrine, Giving the note and 200 pp to Wenglawks in Kael, and turning the note Wenglawks gives you back to Ziglark. First, getting to Ziglark. Boloc posted a good guide for getting to him, here it is: Zone in and go through the gate. At the T make a left. Follow that around and take your next left. Now you are at another T. Go right and follow that around take your next left. After turning left you will come into the portal room for cobalt scar. It is a very large room with a statue in the middle of it (clicking the statue gets you to CS when you get the key). Go straight across to the other side and go through the gate. Take your first right and go back to the second room. Ziglark will be on your left in the corner. Talk to the guard to Ziglark's right first. He tells you to talk to the commander. Hail Ziglark. The lines you need to use are: "/say I am worthy" and "/say I will deliver payment". Ziglark will then give you a note for Wenglawks. As a point of interest, it is not easy to follow the text and figure out what Ziglark wants you to say. Many people have spent 30-45 minutes trying various combinations. Second, you go to Kael with the note and 200 pp. To find Wenglawks, from the WL zone, follow the zone in (invis obviously) to the set of stairs. Normally when running through Kael you will turn left at the top of the stairs and follow the right wall to another tunnel that will lead you eventually out to EW. To find the building Wenglawks in is, you follow the right wall, but once you get to the tunnel, turn around and you are facing the building he is in. There are two doors to the building. Inside are 3-4 Storm and Frost giants and another door. Wenglawks is in the next room, with a high level (red con to level 51) Storm giant wizard named Noble Helssen. Wenglawks is an indifferent con; however don’t let that fool you. Helssen is staring right at Wenglawks, so any attempt at doing the turn in gets immediate agro from Helssen and then Wenglawks picks up the sympathetic agro and they both try to kill you. I had read that if someone with good Kael faction hails Helssen he will turn away and you can do the turn in, but when I rolled a level 1 Ogre warrior on Rallos Zek faction who has dubious faction, hailing Noble Helssen got a response, but he never turned to face me. So I recommend waiting for Wenglawks to wander out of the building. Now this is where being a bard is a HUGE advantage over everyone else. Once we start our invis song, we can remain invisible pretty much indefinitely, where other classes always have to worry about the song or potion wearing off. At least once a game week, Wenglawks leaves his spot and walks down the hallway (mentioned earlier) toward EW. At the end of the hallway (where there are another set of stairs) he turns left, and goes to the merchant building there. He talks with the merchants, stands with them a few minutes, and then runs into the wall for bit and warps back to his regular spot. With my experiences, the time of his ‘wandering’ is at 11:00 pm game time, but the day of the week varies. The first time I witnessed this was on a Wednesday (game time) and the day I did my turn in, it was a Monday, but both times it was at 11:00 pm. It is my theory that with each server reset (patch, etc.) the day is reset, but then it follows a once a week pattern until the next server reset. I never tired charming him, but I know he can be charmed, so that may be an option. Be aware that when you do the turn in, he keeps walking, so stay with him or the trade window will close before you can get the note and 200 pp in it. Once you have done that, make sure your invis pulses again and then you are off to Skyshrine. Third, take the note you get from Wenglawks, give it to Ziglark and get the key! Here is what he says: 'I appear to have mistaken your declaration of worth as a phony attempt at bravado, and do apologize. You have truly proven yourself worthy of the shrine, and in short order as well. For your troubles, and as a token of your worth to the shrine, I grant you this key to traverse into the lands of the Cobalt Scar. Praise be with you and good journeys always.’ The key gets put on your key ring, so you can destroy it, or put it in your bank (I have mine in the bank, just because I don’t want a bug to make me do the quest again). Alternate: Killing Ziglark also yields the key but he is in a room with a bunch of other mobs, so lull and a good escape plan is needed. Since the change he is seems to now be level 45-48 (green to a level 63, was blue to me at 49). People have reported the faction hit isn’t that bad, and others have used lull on all the mobs along the way, pulling Ziglark solo to the WL zone line area to kill him. I am not in a guild and didn’t want to bother my friends, so I didn’t attempt this.

What do you say to Ziglark to make him give you the note? Of course, it will be some more Kael raids before I can do that again, since I tried to kill him and he kept healing himself.

To Ziglarek say: /say I am worthy and then /say I will deliver payment B

is he soloable by chanting?

I have heard he is, but the accounts vary on how to pull him and get him solo. I would check allakhazam's beastiary under his name for the discussions

After 2 deaths trying to do the turn in (my OT hammer didn't fire, I'm getting some gate potions), i was getting discouraged. I really don't have the game time to sit and wait until Wenglawks moved. Anyway I read on Graffes [url]http://www.graffe.com/graffe1.0/quests/cobalt_scar_key/[/url] that you can do the turn in while still invis. Can anyone verify this?

Jindl: Don't even try it. I did on 3 separate occasions (check out my rant). Even though Wenglakks is indifferent to you, the Storm Giant Wizard staring at him isn't. So once the Storm Giant aggros, Wenglakks starts beating on you. I tried having a friend with good giant faction hail the storm giant, but he kept looking at Wenglakks. What I did (after creating an OGRE warrior who worships Rallos Zek) was sit and watch him while I was doing something else. What I found out was that at 11pm (game time) on one day of the week (this is the tricky part, I think the day is reset with server resets) he walks out of the building toward EW, down the tunnel and then makes a left going into the building with the giant merchants. When he is going down this hall, he is alone and you can do the turn-in. He won't stop walking though, so be aware of that and keep up with him so your trade window will not close. I didn't see your level, but once you get the 2.5 min selo's at 49, it was a LOT easier since you could refresh it, zone in Kael, put invis up and still have 2+ min of speed. Oh, btw, did you know you can get to CS by going from GD to Plane of Mischief to CS? VERY easy, you just have to be level 46 or 47. You zone in, put up invis, then start clicking trees until you hit the one that ports you to CS (underwater). Good Luck to you! Badji

Hey Badji, Where in Great Divide do you zone into Mischief? I have heard this before but more info would be great. I am sick of bumming TL's from Wizards ... even though most of the wizards I ask are extremly nice. (Maybe an LOC? Do I have to click on something?)

To get to PoM within GD, follow the stream that starts at Thurgadin to its end. There, you will see a mini-castle that you click for entry into PoM.

Corgar: Mukabre is right on to get to POM. You arrive on a see-through platform, which is far enough from the mobs in the forest (yellow and red to me at 51) to reapply invis (I use the song of travel). Then start clicking trees. Once you see the message "You are too far away to target this" or something like that, you are in the right direction. Use that to zero in on the right tree until you port to CS. Once in CS, you will be underwater. I turn EAST, swimming to the surface, and then reapply Song of Travel. I run to the beach, turn around to make sure no shark or anything aggroed and followed me in, and then go about my business. What a time saver. Even with the SS/CS key I use this to get there. Badji

Thanks, Tried it yesterday .... works great. No more begging for a TL to CS. Of Course I won't need to be their much anymore as I got my last siren's hair and finished the 6th Coldain Shawl. Yeah. Of course now I need to find some peeps to go to Sirens Grotto with me.
