Messenger's Collar Quest
Level:	90
Type:	Solo
Starts At:	Strange Swamp Temple at 41.7S, 49.2W
Route:	Mansion to Portal to Kivik Lir's Temple or Dryreach to East Direlands Swamp portal at 8.1S, 74.5E
Repeat:	20 Hours

Overview

• For quest repeats, you can go straight to part 2 and use your old collar to enter the dungeon. The collars are givable, so you can take any character directly to the 2nd part as long as they have a collar on.
• While the quest can first be completed at level 90, the experience does not cap until level 125. It is possible to run the quest repeatedly and stockpile all your tomes until 125, and turn them all in then. If you have the pack space available to do this it is highly advisable. As an example I (An Adventurer) recently saved 13 tomes. Upon reaching 125, I turned them all in and advanced to 129.

Walkthrough & Notes

Part 1: Strange Swamp Temple

1. Optional: Loot Explorer's Journal from the Corpse of Ainea Besu near the drop point.
2. Go to the bottom of this dungeon. Step near the strange portal device to spawn the Burun Messenger.
3. Kill the Burun Messenger and loot the Messenger's Collar. He has 100,000 health and drops five collars each time. Note: Unless you can imp/vuln as a melee/ranged AND have a crushing blow-type weapon (preferably frost), expect it to take a while to kill him.

Part 2: Ikzisik Tika Ri Zikma

1. Go to Ikzisik Tika Ri Zikma east of Stonehold at 70.6N, 14.5W.
2. Enter the dungeon, you must have the Messenger's Collar equipped to enter.
3. From the entrance, stay to the left. Go down a ramp and stay to the left. You'll pass 2 dead ends shaped like a cross, guarded by a Sclavus. At the third, stay to the left and run past a Burun. Go up a ramp, then enter a large room (dangerous, don't linger); run through it across a bridge. Stay to the right and run through a hall that shoots fire spells on both sides. At the end of the hall, go left. Stop and kill the Falatacot Patrician and Falatacot Matrician, or run past to grab the Falatacot Tome.
4. Bring the tome to Fanzen San the Translator in Hebian-To for your rewards and the translated text, Words of the High Matriarch.

Dialog

Showing Messenger's Collar to Fanzen San the Translator

You allow Fanzen San the Translator to examine your Messenger's Collar.

Fanzen San examines the collar in fascination.

Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "This looks like Falatacot workmanship. This could be a pet's collar or something similar."

Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Yes, this symbol on the collar is definitely Falatacot. I believe it means "Unity". No actually this marking on the triangle represents a single person or a name. This translates better as "One of Three". Very interesting..."

Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "My my, look here, there is some writing on the inside too. Hehe, sortof a "If found please return to..." It gives a set of coordinates. Let me see..."

Fanzen San opens a map of Dereth and drags his fingers along its length to rest in the Osteth Mountain range.

Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Yes, here it is in the Osteth Mountains. There's nothing marked there on the map, but that doesn't mean there isn't something there. The coordinates are 70.6N, 14.5W."

Burun Messenger

The Falatacot portal device hums ominously and disgorges an agitated looking Burun.

Burun Messenger says, "Run! Run! I mustn't stop for anything!"

The Burun Messenger squeals in pain. His cries echo through the temple.

Burun Messenger says, "No! I must not fail my Mistress!"

Handing in Falatacot Tome

You give Fanzen San the Translator Falatacot Tome.

You've earned 60,000,000 experience.

Fanzen San the Translator gives you Words of the High Matriarch.

Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "This High Matriarch, this "One of Three", must have sent the burun messenger you intercepted."

Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "She may have something to do with the other recent Falatacot activities I've heard about. I may send a message to the Royal Guard concerning this. Thank you for your help friend."

Handing in Falatacot Tome (Repeat)

You give Fanzen San the Translator Falatacot Tome.

You've earned 45,000,000 experience.

Fanzen San the Translator gives you Words of the High Matriarch.

Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Ah, another copy of the book you found in the Faltacot's Meeting Place. Thank you, I may be able to find more clues about the High Matriarch in this."
