Iksar Shaman Guide

From MoreLight
Jump to navigation Jump to search


So, after boxing to L72 or so, then going Heroic it L100, I became overwhelmed with everything new, and I decided to start a brand new Iksar Shaman on Yelinak - partially because I wanted to do the Cudgel quest as I leveled up.

Note: It's really annoying when leveling to let good armor rot because it's not Iksar wearable. Get used to it.

Cudgel Quest Checklist

Salvaged from a GeoCities archive! Will work on formatting.

This check list assumes you have all the needed factions to do this quest. If you are not Iksar, you do not have enough faction to start this quest. There is enough info on the web to find out how to get required faction. If you don't have your Newbie cudgel, "Cudgel of the Petitioner", create an Iksar Shaman on 2nd account or have a friend do it for you. Turn in his note to the Hierophant Vek. Then use the resulting Cudgel of the petitioner to MQ the first cudgel for your shaman.

Auth Notes: The combines for pottery and alchemy posted were the approximate skill level my shaman was at. The information here was researched through posts on The Shaman Crucibles and Allakazam's"
