The Ruins of Gianthold
 Requires access to adventure pack
|
Whether or not The Stormreaver has returned, Cydonie believes that some great evil is afoot. Aid her in unraveling the mystery behind Gianthold. Find Cydonie before Gianthold Tor to learn what needs to be done.
The Ruins of Gianthold is a title sequence from Module 4 and its core story line which ends up with The Reaver's Fate raid.
Required Quests[edit]
You need to finish at least these 3 quests. This also grants you easier access to Ruins of Gianthold.
- The Prison of the Planes (End chest drops 1-3 Ancient Dragon Relics)
- Madstone Crater (End chest drops 1-3 Ancient Giant Relics)
- A Cabal for One (End chest drops 1-3 Ancient Elven Relics)
Relic Hunting[edit]
These quests also drop ancient relics:
- A Cry for Help (End chest drops a Ancient Dragon Relic)
- Foundation of Discord (End chest drops a Ancient Dragon Relic)
- The Maze of Madness (End chest drops a Ancient Giant Relic)
- Trial by Fire (End chest drops a Ancient Giant Relic)
- The Crucible (End chest drops a Ancient Elven Relic)
- Feast or Famine (End chest drops a Ancient Elven Relic)
- Prey on the Hunter
Requires access to adventure pack: The Reaver's Reach (Optional Chests from killing the two dragons can drop a Relic as well) - Higher level quests tend to increase the number of relics in the chest; Elite often gives 3.
You can also utilize a dwarf NPC in Gianthold, who trades you 1 Heroic relic for 3 relics of a different kind (1 elven for 3 giant or dragon and soforth). Unfortunately no such NPC exists for Epic Relics.
As of Module 8, relics can be found in rare encounter chests in the Ruins of Gianthold exploration areas as well.
(Formerly, a character needed to turn in 20 of each relic to unlock access to Gianthold Tor for that life. This flagging requirement was highly unpopular, and thus the required amount of relics was initially dropped to 9 in Update 8; the requirement was subsequently removed entirely in Update 17. You now only need to run A Cabal for One, Madstone Crater and Prison of the Planes once each.)
Pre-raid and the raid[edit]
Once you have finished the three quests, you can talk to Crag in the Gianthold city zone. He will then give you access to the zone pre-raid quest Gianthold Tor. After finishing Gianthold Tor you will get the quest reward from Crag, the story arc reward from Cydonie and the The Reaver's Fate raid quest from Agon Uruhond who stands next to the quest entrance.
- Gianthold Tor (often referred to as "scales run")
- The Reaver's Fate (raid)
