Paladin Epic 1.0 is broken down into four parts:

• Part 1 - SoulFire
• Part 2 - Ghoulbane
• Part 3 - Fiery Avenger
• Part 4 - Fiery Defender

Part 1 : Soulfire

SoulFire

SoulFire is the first sword required for the Paladin 1.0 Epic. It is quested.

Step 1

You'll first want to get faction with Priests of Life. The faction is required for the final turn-in to obtain your SoulFire. There is a lot of speculation on how much faction is needed; I can personally confirm that I was able to do the turn-in at high Kindly.

A) You can get faction by questing with Lashun Novashine in North Qeynos. He roams around the zone, so a tracker might help speed things up. However, the zone is not very big so you'll run into him eventually. You can either give him 2 Gold or 2 Bone Chips to receive 1 faction. The benefit of using Bone Chips is that you can turn-in an unlimited amount at a time (stacked). With Gold you can only turn in 2 at a time. You can con him to check your faction status with Priests of Life.

B) You can also give Silver Bars to Fixxin Followig in North Karana for 1 faction per bar. He roams along the north side of the zone.

C) There are also various NPC's you can kill to get faction, the most notable one is Lord Grimrot in South Karana. You can find more information about which NPC's give how much faction here:

​https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/faction.html?faction=93

With all this said, the quickest method to get the faction is likely going to be Option B.

Step 2

Once you have obtained High Kindly faction go to Castle Mistmoore. You need to kill Xicotl and loot Glowing Sword Hilt. He spawns in the "Spa" room (-190, +95). His PH is a Mistmoore guard. You do not need to kill a Mistmoore guard. It will automatically respawn every minute or so. Eventually Xicotl will spawn in its place. Kill Xicotl and loot Glowing Sword Hilt.

Step 3

Go to North Ro and kill tarantula type mobs until you get Spider Venom Sac.

Step 4

Go to Commonlands and buy Cloth Shirt from Germe Threadspinner. He is inside a hut along the north wall.

Next, find Altunic Jartin (also in Commonlands) who wanders around the zone. Sometimes he is along the road, sometimes he is in the grassy area. A tracker can speeds things up a bit. Give Altunic Jartin Cloth Shirt to receive Token of Generosity.

To give the tunic to Althunic Jartin you'll need to be at least amiable faction with Knights of Truth. If you are Mithaniel Marr deity you likely already are amiable. If you are a different deity then you may be a bit low. To raise your faction kill Freeport Miltia Guards in either Commonlands or Freeport. You can check your faction with /faction. The guards in Commonlands give between 5 and 10 faction per kill. This should be a quick grind in most cases.

Step 5

Next you'll need to farm 3 items: Rat Ears, Fire Beetle Eye, Snake Scales. These items will used in 21 trivial trade skill combine, so grab more than 1 if you aren't feeling lucky. You can get these from mobs in either Commonlands or West Freeport (Rats, Fire Beetles, and Snakes).

Step 6

Get a Water Flask and a Bottle from a vendor somewhere, they are sold in every town.

Step 7

Use the materials you just got to make the following items: Bog Juice and Edible Goo.

Bog Juice - Brewing - Trivial 21 - Brew Barrel

1x Water Flask

1x Bottle

1x Snake Scales

Edible Goo - Baking - Trivial 21 - Oven

1x Fire Beetle Eye

1x Rat Ears

Step 8

Go to the Halls of Truth in West Freeport. Find Merko Quetalis (use find, +1000, -140). Give him Spider Venom Sac to receive Token of Bravery. Next, give him the Token of Bravery you just got along with Token of Generosity. This turn-in will spawn Guard Willia (+850, -220) in the basement/cell area.

Guard Willia is level 6. Kill him and loot Token of Truth. Go back to Merko Quetalis and give him Token of Truth to receive Testimony.

Step 9

Go to East Freeport and find Gregor Nasin. Buy 4x Drom's Champagne from him. You will need to turn them into Tykar Renlin. Tykar Renlin has 4 PH's that all spawn at the same spot at the bar. These PH's they will roam around Freeport for a bit, then come back and eventually despawn/respawn. Basically you will just need to wait for Tykar Renlin to spawn on his own. They can take anywhere from 1 to 6 min to respawn (roughly). Known PH's are: Plnorrick Spinecracker, Biggle Lombokker, Tlin Bowfright, and Lozani.

Once Tykar Renlin finally does spawn, give him 1x Drom's Champagne at a time, after the 4th one he will give you Bunker Cell #1.

Step 10

Stay in East Freeport. Find a prisoner in the arena area. Give him Bog Juice, Edible Goo and Bunker Cell #1 to receive H.K. 102.

Step 11

Still in East Freeport, you must now kill Sir Lucan D'Lere. Doing so will make you instant KOS to Freeport. He is level 46-48 range. Once he dies, an undead version of him will spawn. Kill it too. Loot Testimony of Truth. He is a Guildmaster so you can use Find to locate him.

Step 12

Zone over to West Freeport and locate Valeron Dushire (+1120, -500) in Hall of Truth. Give him Testimony of Truth to receive Brilliant Sword of Faith. He is a Guildmaster so you can use Find to locate him.

Step 13

Go to High Keep and find Assistant Kiolna (-40, -335) near the bank. Give her H.K. 102 to receive Sealed Note.

Step 14

Final Turn-in! Go to South Karana and find Brother Hayle (-1500, +2250). Make sure you are at least Kindly (I was high Kindly) faction with him. First give him Sealed Note by itself. He will return Note. Then give him Glowing Sword Hilt, Brilliant Sword of Faith, Testimony, Note to receive SoulFire!

Part 2 : Ghoulbane

Ghoulbane

The second sword you'll need to obtain to get your epic is Ghoulbane. There are 3 options to get one. I highly recommend Option 1

Option 1

Kill Joren Nobleheart in South Felwithe. Always drops. This is by far the easiest path but requires a few people to kill him in Kunark era. He is level 60. Other NPC's do not assist. He does not have any faction hits. He melees for just under 200. You can reach him by taking the middle teleport pad.

Option 2

Kill the froglok shin lord in Upper Guk. Rare Drop. This is easily soloable but the froglok shin lord is a rare spawn and the Ghoulbane is a rare drop. He spawns in the most southwestern room of the zone. It is level 30.

Option 3

You can also quest for Ghoulbane. Due to the time this quest can take I will not be going over this option at all. Option 1 and 2 are much faster. The quest is given by Ryshon Hunsti in West Karana.

Part 3 : Fiery Avenger

Fiery Avenger

Step 15

You will need to get faction (Ally recommended) with Deepwater Knights. Luckily this doesn't take very long! There are three methods you can use. However, the first one is vastly superior to the other two.

​https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/faction.html?faction=93

Method 1

Kill Atdehim Sqonci in Paineel. He gives +1000 faction and is on a roughly 5 minute respawn. Kill him a couple times to max your faction! He is level 45, fairly easy kill, and located inside the Cleric Guild. One other level 35 NPC next to him will aggro as well.

Method 2

Alternatively, you can kill Skeleton Guards in Paineel. Each kill gives 10 faction. The two in the noob yard instantly respawn. They are level 10 but hit for 120 and have a few thousand hp. You can also go into Paineel and kill guards, whom are weaker, but don't respawn instantly.

Method 3

Kill Kobolds in The Warrens. Loot Kobald Molar. They are very common. They do not stack so you'll need a lot of bag space. Turn them into Tiam Khonsir in Erudin. You can use the "FIND" feature to locate him. He is behind the Deepwater Knights building. You will get 5 or 6 faction per turn-in. This method is the slowest of the three.

Step 16

You can easily skip step 16 if you have a friend or alt who has the books already since the result of Step 17 ( Book of Scale) is tradable

• Loot Torn, Frost-Covered Book from any of the following:
  • Gorenaire in Dreadlands
  • Lady Vox in Permafrost
  • Faydedar in Timorous Deep
• Loot Torn, Burnt Book from any of the following:
  • Talendor in Skyfire
  • Lord Nagafen in Nagafen's Lair
  • Severilous in Emerald Jungle

Step 17

Once you have both books, go to North Qeynos and find Rineval Talyas (-160, -345). Give her Torn, Frost-Covered Book, Torn, Burnt Book, and 1000pp to receive Book of Scale (tradable).

Step 18

Go to Ocean of Tears and give Book of Scale to Oracle of K`Arnon to receive Miragul's Phylactery.

Step 19

Head to Everfrost. You will need to find an opening in the frozen lake and swim to the underwater tunnels. You are looking for Lich of Miragul. He roams around in the caves. He will con as "KOS", however he doesn't attack and you shouldn't need to charm him to do the turn-in. I was able to hand it in with no problems. Give him Miragul's Phylactery to spawn Miragul. Kill Miragul and loot Miragul's Head and Miragul's Robe.

Step 20

This part will require two people so grab a friend and head to Plane of Sky. Don't forget to bring your SoulFire and Ghoulbane. Make sure your friend has 500pp. You will also need to be keyed for Island 4; only you need to be keyed, your friend doesn't. Have your friend go to the Quest Room. They can buy Efreeti's Key from Key Master on Island 1 to access it. Meanwhile you should head to Island 4. Island 4 (Pegasus Island) is the island with a big windmill in the middle. Stay inside the windmill.

Have your friend say "I wish to be tested by Dirkog" to Dason Goldblade in the Quest Room. Dason Goldblade will give your friend Walk with Evil. Give Walk with Evil back to Dason Goldblade to spawn Dirkog Steelhand. Give Dirkog Steelhand 500pp. Doing so will spawn Inte Akera in the Windmill on Island 4. Inte Akera only stays up for a few minutes which is why you need someone else to spawn him from the Quest Room.

• First, give Inte Akera SoulFire to receive Inte's First Blessing.

• Next, give Inte Akera Ghoulbane to receive Inte's Second Blessing.

• Finally, give Inte Akera Inte's First Blessing, Inte's Second Blessing, Miragul's Robe, Miragul's Head to receive Fiery Avenger!

Part 4 : Fiery Defender
