Improved Charm Quest
The charm quest is a higher level progressive quest which leads you to many of the customized zones used on The Hidden Forest. The reward is consistent upgrades to the charm that Queen Adrianne gave you upon your arrival to the forest.
Contents
Charm 1.0
Perhaps the most simple quest in all of Norrath! All you must do is carry on a casual conversation with a Queen Adrianne in The Hidden Forest zone. When you mention the gift she has for you, Queen Adrianne will give you your reward.
The reward: Charm of Queen Adrianne
Charm 2.0
Lilly is a fairy located in The Hidden Forest zone across from Queen Adrianne. Her specific location is -16, -40.
Something bad has happened. I haven't seen my little sisters since yesterday and I have a bad feeling they got in some kind of a trouble. They often go out to speak with the trees and flowers, but they never stay away for the nights.. I told them not to get close to dangerous places as Crushbone or Paludal Caverns, but they never listen, they are just too young and silly.. Please try to find them, I'll reward your kindness if you can help me out.'
Suggested level: 60
The task: Lilly's sisters seem to be quite adventurous for fairies! Just as Lilly says, her sisters can be found in Crushbone and Paludal, but you will be hard pressed to find them! They are being held captive by two evil goblins, Rowi and Rowe!
Crushbone: Rowi is located in the side area by the slaver hut - specifically at 158, 764. Defeat him and Lilly's sister will appear and you should talk with her to receive your charm flag. Be aware that you can only receive 2 character flags per kill.
Paludal: Rowe can be found on the waterside in one of the large caverns towards the NW and his location is specifically -295, 1297. Same deal here as earlier: dispatch of the goblin fiend and rescue the damsel in distress (don't forget to talk with her!). Be aware that you can only receive 2 character flags per kill.
Once you've rescued and chatted a bit with both of Lilly's wayward sisters, head back to The Hidden Forest zone and talk to Lilly. She will ask for your existing charm and hand you back an improved charm.
Remember to remove any augs you may have on your charm first if you wish to keep them!
The reward: Advanced Charm of Queen Adrianne

Suggested level: 70 grouped

Charm 8.0
Lilly is a fairy located in The Hidden Forest zone across from Queen Adrianne.
You say, 'Hail, Lilly' Lilly says, 'Hello again, name! I hope you have been well? My sisters and I are still so very grateful for everything you have done for us. May I ask you for yet another favour? A dear friend and ally of ours has gone missing and we need help with finding her.
Lilly says, 'For many years the Farseer sisters have stood by our side in our struggles against the darkness of Chaos. Ghillie recently informed me that her sister, Livi, has gone alone to an unknown realm and hasn't returned. She wouldn't have asked for our help if she wasn't gravely worried. So we will do what we can.
[If you have already seen Livi in the Citadel]: Lilly says, 'Oh no! You say Livi has been taken by the Blight? That's horrible! We must do what we can to stop this terrible evil! See if you can obtain some samples that may relate to Livi's work on her journey to the other realm. Anything at all may help us fight back. Return what you find to me and I'll see what I can do to aid Ghillie.
[If you have yet to see Livi]: 'See if you can obtain some samples that may relate to Livi's work on her journey to the other realm. Anything at all that may provide clues to her whereabouts, or what may have happened to her. Return what you find to me and I'll see what I can do to aid Ghillie.'
At this point go to The Hidden Vale and speak to Ghillie and enter Citadel of the Worldslayer.
Once in the citadel you must find and slay Livi`s Elite Creation and loot the following items.
NOTE: This quest has changed. You still need the above four items but they no longer randomly drop off the Elite Creations. You can now obtain all four of the items in a single run of the Citadel. This is how you do it:
- 1st Elite
The first Elite is the wandering Elite. This always drops Elite Vitrik wing but it also drops a broken piece of statue.
Loot the wing and the statue (anyone can loot the statue).
- 2nd Elite - Statues
There are four different statues, although they all look the same and have the same name. If you can cast the spell identify, cast it on the broken piece (hold it on your cursor and cast the spell). If you cannot cast identify, you can walk back to the entrance of the zone. There is a ground spawn underneath the green tubes from the ceiling in the middle of the entrance hall (loc -14, 159, -52). This is a temporary item called the Architectural Analysis Device. It has a click effect Identify, so you can use this to identify the type of the broken statue.
When you do this, you'll see one of four messages:
- Three heads are shown
- Two horns are shown
- Several lines are shown
- Rows of teeth are shown
This is a clue as to which statue this piece belongs to. You now need to go to the trophy room, which is the room where Kraxt spawns. Around the edges of the room are statues:
- A chimera (three heads)
- A minotaur (two horns)
- A stone worker (several lines on its body)
- A bazu (rows of teeth)
Figure out which is the right statue for the broken piece (based on the above) and then put that piece onto your cursor. You then walk up to the correct statue and the broken piece will slot in to where it originally came from. If you chose the wrong statue, four mobs will spawn and attack, so make sure you get it right and be ready just in case!
Once you return the broken piece back, you will see this message: 'You place the broken piece of a statue back into its place and a green light surrounds the fractured edges and then the seams are gone, as if the piece had never broken off…'
And then shortly after: 'You hear a humming and clunking sound emitting from within the walls… The humming rises to a loud roar, it sounds as though machinery has started up nearby…'
- 2nd Elite - Incubators*
You should now move to the next room, which is the incubator room. You'll notice one of the incubators is glowing red. Have your tank step into the red incubator. You'll see a message: 'You hear a harsh buzzing sound!' and a tiny vitrik called a failed experimental elite vitrik will pop and attack the tank. Kill it and then look at the various incubators in the room (there are 10 in total).
One should be green and another should be red. You'll need the tank to step into the green one. At this point, you'll see a message: 'You hear a clear ringing bell!' (if you do it wrong, you'll see the harsh buzzing sound message)
Another, slightly large, failed elite will pop and attack. Once it is dead, the incubators will again change colours. This time there will be two green and one red. You must have two different characters stand in the two green incubators to trigger the next failed elite vitrik.
Do this again one more time, with three green incubators (needing three characters to stand in one each).
Do not stand any character in the red incubators, this will reset the process to the beginning again. To avoid this, always make sure all characters step back out of the incubator after they trigger it.
The final stage of the event you will see four green incubators and ALL OF THE REMAINING 6 INCUBATORS WILL BE RED. You will need four characters to each step into one of the four green incubators to complete this stage.
The incubators reset and change randomly after 20 seconds! So you will need to cooperate quickly and time this stage carefully. If you fail, everyone will be ejected from the incubators, a failed vitrik will spawn and you'll need to try this final stage again (you will not have to do the whole event again, just the final step).
If you successfully complete this stage, you will see a message: 'You hear a loud, clanging gong sound followed by a churning gurgle from somewhere behind, back where you came from. The machines stop whiring and are silent...'
This is your cue to run back to the entrance hall. There, you will see the 2nd Elite Vitrik (not the failed experimental ones). Kill this and loot the 2nd item for the quest: Elite Vitrik talon
This Elite also drops an observatory spyglass. You can trade this to other players so it doesn't matter who loots it, but you will not want your tank to hold it (this will make sense later).
- 3rd Elite - Observatory*
The next stage is the observatory, which is the room Uzur is located in. This room is where Uzur observes the potential battle fields and plans his attacks; the observatory "portals" are the tubes extending up to the ceiling, each with a vision inside. You will first need to clear everything from the room, so kill everything first if you didn't already. Then, make sure to give the spyglass to a character that isn't melee (so a healer or caster or pet class) and have them hold the item on their cursor and stand into the first tube. This is located on the West side of the room, on the left (loc: 842, -108).
This will trigger the observatory event. The character holding the spyglass should see the message: 'As you enter the obversation aperture and look through the spyglass, you begin to make out the hazy outline of something but can't quite make it out...'
You will need at least five characters to complete this event (four to stand in the observatory tubes and a tank, at least). Any less and it won't work. Each character must do the below steps in the correct order.
This character must stand in place for the whole event, holding the spyglass. If they step out of the tube or put the spyglass into their inventory, the event will cancel and reset to the start.
Another character must now step into tube 2. This is the one nearest to tube 1 (on the opposite side of the West end of the room). This character must also remain in place for the whole event, otherwise it'll reset.
A third character must now step into tube 3. This is the one diagonally opposite to tube 2 (loc: 677, -108).
Finally, a fourth character must now step into tube 4. This is the one directly opposite tube 3 (diagonally opposite tube 1) and is at loc: 678, -27.
You should now have four characters stood in four tubes, all surrounding the central tube (where Uzur spawns) like a square. At this point, the 3rd Elite Vitrik will spawn outside of the West entrance. It will start to walk to the central tube and cannot be attacked until it reaches the centre. ALL OF THE FOUR TUBE CHARACTERS MUST REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THE VITRIK IS DEAD. If they do not, it will depop and the event will start from the beginning again.
Have the tank engage the Elite Vitrik once it reaches the centre of the observatory room. Engage pets and nuke (and if you have a sixth character, they can do what they like).
Once the Vitrik is dead, loot the third quest item: Elite Vitrik beak
- 4th Elite - Livi's Creation*
The 4th and final Elite Vitrik spawns in the fight against Livi (when her hps reach 50%). This one always drops the final item: Elite Vitrik feather
Return to Lilly in The Hidden Forest and hand her all 4 items.
You say, 'Hail, Lilly' Lilly says, 'Thank-you, name. Your bravery is boundless to have successfully wrested these samples from the Citadel. You have done Livi a great service.
Lilly says, 'We are all sorry for what happened to Livi, Othofrako. Her fate weighs heavily upon my heart. We must do what we can to ensure her sacrifice was not for nothing. I will study these samples. They may yet prove useful with what is to come. I feel that your battle with the evil of the Blight and Discord was only the beginning.
Lilly says, 'For your valiant assistance, please accept a gift; Queen Adrianne has been working on this magical charm for many, many years. You deserve to benefit from its powers. Please hand me your old charm and I'll replace it with the new one.
The reward: Elite Charm of Queen Adrianne (Forest Gate clickie)
