== Walk Through ==
;Prerequisites
* You will require a {{Itemlink|Seal}} from an undead such as [[Lich Lord]]s and [[Revenant]]s. You will need one seal for each person going on the quest.


To begin you will need to collect a [[Seal]]. Each person in your party that wants the reward items will need a Seal. The [[Halls of Metos]] are good dungeons to gather seals in, or they can also be won in high stakes gambling. When you have collected your seals, head out to [[Bandit Castle]]. From the castle, head east up the side of a nearby mountain.
== Walkthrough & Notes ==
:'''66.1N, 51.4E - [[Bandit Castle Standing Stone]]
=== Part 1: Rune Transcription ===
Each person must use their [[Seal]] to unlock the Standing Stone and acquire the [[Bandit Rune Transcription]]. Its burden value when holding a transcription is 9025. When everyone has the transcription, the [[Hasty Note]] on the ground will hint at the Tremblant Party's next move: [[Neydisa Castle]]. When you reach Neydisa head west atop a small snowcapped hill.
# Go to [[Bandit Castle]] and head to the nearby [[Bandit Castle Standing Stone]] at 66.1N, 51.4E.  To reach the stone, you must run to the top of the mountain and down a slope to a ledge only reachable from the top.
:'''69.2N, 15.3E - [[Neydisa Castle Standing Stone]]
# Use the Seal to unlock the standing stone and pick up the {{Itemlink|Bandit Rune Transcription}}. The nearby {{Itemlink|Hasty Note (Bandit Castle)}} will lead you to Neydisa.
Everyone will need to take the [[Neydisa Rune Transcription]] from the Standing Stone. However, only the first stone at Bandit Castle is locked and requires a seal. When everyone is done, the [[Brief Note]] will direct you to [[Stonehold]]. When you reach Stonehold, head north then northwest, past the Giant Snowman, to the final standing stone.
# Go to [[Neydisa Castle]] and head to the nearby [[Neydisa Castle Standing Stone]] at 69.2N, 15.3E.
:'''72.0N, 22.0W - [[Stonehold Standing Stone]]
#* Route: A portal to Neydisa can be found in the southern wing of the [[Town Network]].
When everyone has looted the [[Stonehold Rune Transcription]], you can head to [[Zaikhal]]. The rune transcriptions must now be combined in the correct order: Use the Bandit Rune Transcription on the Neydisa Rune Transcription to create the [[Partial Rune Transcription]]. Then use the Stonehold Rune Transcription on the Partial Rune Transcription to create the [[Complete Rune Transcription]]. It is now ready to be translated.
# Open the standing stone and pick up the {{Itemlink|Neydisa Rune Transcription}}. The nearby {{Itemlink|Brief Note}} will lead you to Stonehold.
:'''13.9N, 0.1E - [[Kuyiza bint Zayi]] (Zaikhal)
# Go to [[Stonehold]] and head to the nearby [[Stonehold Standing Stone]] at 72.0N, 22.0W.
Give  Kuyiza the transcription. She will give you the [[Gelidite Standing Stone Translation]] and direct you to a Planar Mage in [[Plateau Village]].
#* Route: A portal to Stonehold can be found in the northern wing of the [[Town Network]].
:'''44.4N, 43.4W - [[Mairisa bint Fuda]] (Plateau Village)
# Open the standing stone and pick up the {{Itemlink|Stonehold Rune Transcription}}. The nearby {{Itemlink|Quick Note}} will hint at combining the transcriptions.
Turn your translation over to Mairisa. She will give you the [[Gelidite Treasure Key]] and summon a portal to the location written in the translation. Each member of your party will need to turn in their translation to gain a key. Mairisa will summon a portal each time. At the other side of the portal, you will find yourself dropped atop a steep hill near Mount Esper. A few [[Ice Golem]]s will be there to greet you. When everyone is ready, enter the portal in front of you.
# Use the Bandit Transcription on the Neydisa Rune Transcription to create the {{Itemlink|Partial Rune Transcription}}.
:'''[[Mountain Cavern]] - [http://www.acmaps.com/map.php?id=015D ACMaps]
# Use the Stonehold Transcription on the Partial Rune Transcription to create the {{Itemlink|Complete Rune Transcription}}.
The first section of the Mountain Cavern is looping, braided section of cave. Sticking to the northern halls will get you through. When you are past the maze, you will come to three chambers, each lower than the previous. Keep following down and you will reach the first part of the city. You will come to a locked door (resistance: 162). After picking this door, there is a series of three doors that must be opened by other means. You have two options:
# Bring the Complete Transcription to [[Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator]] in [[Zaikhal]] to obtain the {{Itemlink|Gelidite Standing Stone Translation}}. You are now ready to venture in to Frore.
* If you are in a group, entering the nearby magical portal will open the door and send the portal user back to the three chambers. This can be repeated to open all the doors, and member of the group can hold the doors open for the portalers.
#* Note that the Gelidite Standing Stone Translation is attuned and bonded. So if you are getting multiple for a group, keep the Complete Rune Transcription and give it to each person to turn in. There is a 6 day timer on being able to get the rune transcriptions.
* If you are alone or in a small group, have one person run back to the three chambers. In each chamber is a ring of standing stones. In the center of the standing stones are pressure plates. Running through each ring fast enough will open all the doors and allow for enough time to make it through them all.
When you have passed the lever doors you will come to the portal to the next area.
:'''[[Lost City of Frore]] - [http://acmaps.com/map.php?id=0138 ACMaps]
The city of Frore is fairly easy to navigate. Right after the first room there will be a small pit to jump into. If you are skilled enough to jump back out of a pit of this depth you can skip the first area of the city by taking a left in the tunnels ahead. If you are not, take a right. In the first area of the city there is one lever you will have to pull to move on. It is located on the second floor across the bridges. The second area is simple - you just want to take the only hallway leading up. If you took the shortcut jump before, you will end up in the third area. Simply head north, and at the northern end of the chamber head east. This will lead you to the final room. Clear the room of the golems and Gelidites and each person can use their treasure key to loot the chest. If you wish to, you take the hall next to the chest to visit the room that once held [[The Great Work]]. It now contains several larger crystal fragment creatures.

#* {{warning}} If soloing, the magical portals beyond the doors take you to each of the three pressure plates. It is possible to use each portal and run back to the doors before they close. After you pass the first of the three pressure doors, you can close and reopen them using the buttons on the walls to reset the timers and give you some more time. The timers are more generous then they used to be, and as long as you hurry, you should have no problem getting them in one run.  Note: When soloing take note:  You can double back and reset the timers on the doors by opening all previous doors JUST before running through the next portal.  Also, the 3rd portal drops you in a different location than the first two.  From the third portal drop, run east first and then down.
# When everyone is through, enter the [[Lost City of Frore]].
# Open the locked door in the entrance with lockpick. Proceed up, jump down into the pit, and enter the hallway below. You will come to an intersection. If you have high enough jumping skill to jump up one dungeon level, take the left. If you do not, take the right. The right path is slightly longer and requires the use of one lever.
# Following the map, proceed to the end. The rewards chest is under a beam of light in the room just prior to the old crystal chamber. Clear the room and loot the [[Chest (Lost City of Frore)|chest]] for the item rewards. If you are with a group make sure to completely empty it.
# Return the [[Glowing Box]] to [[Mairisa bint Fuda]] in [[Plateau Village]] for an experience reward.

When this quest was introduced, the Aluvian lord Sir Joffre Tremblant had only just been killed and then resurrected by the Gelidite. Each of the servers had a single chance to defeat him in his new form and loot his unique Ivory Staff.
