In Search of the Sepulcher of Jahnda  

The location for Sepulcher of the Prime Healer is wrong. It's located at 236, -7, -81.

The location of the Coldwind is wrong.

Jade Golem Crystals are obtained in Vermin's Snye by killing either:

a festering zombie
a crumbling tomb sentry
a crumbling tomb guard
a crumbling tomb priest

I hailed the NPC at the end and he just said "Thank you" and that was it, no reward or anything.

I don't know when it changed, but Mirf DOES respond to evil characters now. The quest is long beneath my level by now, but I completed it anyway just to increase my quest count.

As of 12-11-05 Mirf STILL doesn't respond to evil characters. As much as I hate to do it (I'm a questaholic), I'm deleting this quest.

and just how exactly do i get the jade golem crystals?????

Did Ayamia solo with no problems at 25 (Guardian). Went in and whispered prayers at each tomb. Only got 1 green mob of crypt robbers, 5 chracters total, 2 of which were named (lv22s), the others were lv18s. Got 'em all without much trouble. Tonmerk was at the exit, who thanked me - game me nothing :(

I solo this at lvl 26 (templar)Killed rat queen with no help. Entered the Tomb and started defiling every tomb starting from left side one at a time by the 4th one the 2 named mobs spawned with 3 crypt robbers, they were all grey to me lvl 21 heroics. I killed off the 2 named first, then ran out of power & killed the 3 robbers with little to no power, they didn't put a scratch on me. After they died I ran around corner and there was Tonmerk green lvl 22 heroic for me, I rested up before I killed him, My loot was Idol of the Wretched and an ethereal nerve.

We have killed Ayamia the Rat Queen twice now and the second time we were able to make her spawn in like 10 mins time by killing Everything in the two rooms (including the small rats and bloodsabers outside the rooms) We tried at first killing ONLY the Large Rats to force her to spawn with NO RESULT and one group did this and it took 3 hours for her to respawn. We were able to force a respawn in 10 mins time, however, by killing everything in the area and both rooms so I highly recommend you do this as well or your wait for respawn will be a long one.... :( The battle with her at BOTH Level 23 and Level 24 was an absolute BEAR and very close call so need a good strong group even in mid-20's to take her down with all of her large rat sons. Chances of death at lower levels would be almost assured. Even with a skilled healer we were almost taken out both times.

We have entered the zone "Sepulcher of Jahnda" twice now: first time had a group of 4 and second time had a group of 4 both times group members were levels 21 to 25 (second time with two mentoring). First time, after whispering a prayer at each of the 6 skellies on slabs along the sides of the room, a group of about 5-6 mobs spawned with 2 named I think: one was named "Rustin the Vile".

First Access: They were blue to me at Level 23. The other people in the group the first time were all lower than I was. We had a caster Level 21, a ranger level 21, a Barbarian Guardian level 22 and a High Elven Templar level 23. The battle was challenging but not as bad as the rat Queen and her "sons" were. We managed to kill the group and a large chest dropped. There was a spell adept I (random)inside and a burial shroud that, upon examination, starts a quest called "Forgotten Shroud" Level 15. The winner of the shroud examines it and takes it to the male priest in the Temple of Life in NQ (he is the only one that responds to you once the quest is activated). I have not completed this quest I will do so later tonight and post back as to the final result here.

After that fight concluded, we walked thru the room and around the corner at far end of the other half of the chamber stood Lord Tonmerk in front of the door leading back out to Vermin Snye. We attempted to hail him and he did not respond so we attacked him instead and another chest dropped with another adept I spell scroll inside (random I assume again) and an "Idol of the Wretched" stats: +5 Int, +4 Wis, +15 Health, +18 Power attuneable used in secondary slot as a Symbol. There were gray spiders and carrion rats in teh room to kill as well that did not appear to drop anything or trigger any other event. We did clear the chamber of all mobs several times to be certain before leaving.

Second Access: Next day I was Level 24 and we entered the zone with myself (24 Templar), 23 Ranger, and two high level (35 and 40+) mentoring us both (total of 4 players). After whispering a prayer once again at all the 6 skeleton slabs by right clicking on them, after about a minute or so the mob group with the 5-6 mobs and two named spawned and ambushed us. They were GREEN this time to me (I was one level higher) and we took them down much more easily that on the first attempt (it was no problem at all whereas in first attempt we could have died). A large chest dropped again at the end of the fight with an adept I spell scroll and andother burial shroud (to initiate the "Forgotten Shroud" quest (see above) This burial shroud item is LORE but since I had activated the quest from the day before I was able to receive it and pass it to another group member who did not have it.

When we were done we again crossed the chamber and found Lord Tonmerk who this time for some reason we were able to "Hail" at which point he thanked us for defending the tomb so valiantly and gave tthe group member who "hailed" him an "Idol of the Eternal" as a reward (I did not get this item but the stats were almost identical to the "Idol of the Wretched" the day before except possibly with slightly higher Power Bonus? (think power bonus might have been +20 power instead) We will be repeating it again this evening as well as concluding the "Forgotten Shroud " Quest: in which I am to replace the shroud over one of the skeletons in the chamber. I will post back here as to what the results are.

We just duo'd this quest. 25 Templar and 25 Ranger. I'm not sure if things have changed with a patch but here's what we did and what happened during our venture through the Tomb of Tonmerk.

First off, a group of only 2 could enter the zone. We did not have to have a group of 3-6. Maybe our levels made a difference but none the less, we could still enter.

When right-clicking on the tombs, we were given the option of either defiling the tomb or whispering something. We whispered the first one and nothing spawned. We could not whisper again. The next 4 we defiled. Each time, "a desecrated remains" spawned. They were grey non-agro to us. We spawned the 6th skeleton and while waiting for our power to regen, 3 "a crypt robber", "Ronicus the Red" and "Rustam the Vile" all spawned from around the corner and attacked us. Ronicus was 21^^ and everything else was just plain level 21. All green at 25. We killed the 5 of them and nothing dropped.

At this time, we noticed Lord Tonmerk had spawned. He was 22^^ non-agro. We could not hail him. Right-clicking him only gave us the option of attacking. We went back and killed the 6th desecrated remains. Lord Tonmerk remained only attackable. We killed him and a chest dropped. Inside was an "Idol of the Wretched". It has the same stats as Idol of the External.



The re-entry timer for completing the zone is 12 hours.

Just got in to Tomb of Tonmerk as solo lvl 26 Ranger. 6 coffins inside - I "whispered a prayer" not "defile remains" at each of the coffins. Enter main room with 2 named ^^, and 3 other mobs - they all agroed. Just managed to survive. Lord Tonmerk appears and thanked me then disappeared - no reward. 12 hour timer for re-entry and will try again.

I just finished this quest and was not given the next part to kill the rat queen. Bugged?
