Undead Drake Lord Quest

Quest Name: Undead Drake Lord
Level: 50
Class: All
Quest NPC: Popup at the Masuleom
Location: Stone Watchers

1. Begin the quest by getting the pop-up at Magifent's Masuleom in Stone Watchers (W) zone. Magifent tell you a sob story regarding his black necromancer background and how he sadly became enslaved to a drake lord. The evil drake lord and his minions plan to overthrow Norrath. He requests your help.

2. Go and speak to Keeper Sari in the Black Swann Inn at Darvor Manor. She tells you that the drake lord sent some of his minions to the desert, some to the snow, some to the fire and some to stand guard. He gave them all gems of protection. Keeper Sari asks you to find 5 gems from Emeraldine drakes, she will make these into a ward for you, the first of five you will need.

Go to Salisearneen (SW) and farm Emeraldine Drakes till you get the amount of gems you need. Go east from the road, the spot is kinda between a hill and a campfire with a few centaurs around it. There should be about 5-7 or so jade drakes flying around, all within conning distance from between the hill and the campfire. Kill those jade drakes and eventually an emeraldine will spawn. Not every emeraldine will have a gem so it may take awhile. Can take two hours to get all the gems you need.
Tak'Xiz South (east): Not s/e, not n/e, just EAST.
It's right on the border with Takish'Hiz (w).
As the description above says, north will be the dead forest, barely visible. To the west is a pillar with glowing blue at it's base [and a tall mnt further west], and directly to the south is another tower with glowing blue at it's base (in the SE part of the zone). The tier'dal camp can be found to the s/e in Takish'Hiz. There are four rocks, and the torrid drakes spawn all around this area - don't bother killing torrid drakes in any other part of the zone, they won't spawn the Sandstone Drake. I got all four gems in under two hours
Return gems to Keeper Sari and recieve Ward of Nature.

3. Go and speak to Keeper Ikkl, next to the Highpass Blacksmith. Ikki wants 4 gems from Sandstone Drakes. Go and hunt Sandstone Drakes in Tak Xiv South (E) till you get the amount of gems you need. Torrid drakes are the place holders. Difficult to describe the spot. You can just barely see the dead forest and it's in a valley with about 3 or 4 climable rocks. It's also not far from the tier'dal high lvl camp. Sandstone drakes don't spawn as fast as emeraldines, they seem to take about 30-60 min just to spawn one so it may take you a few trips. Every sandstone dropped a gem for me.

Morynn: The description above is accurate, but as I had a hard time finding this exact location, I've drawn a map:

Return to keeper Ikkl with four sandstone gems to get Ward of Desert.

*Note Smitka is behind the Highpass coachman.

4. Speak to Keeper Rilzen, east of the Wyndhaven coachman. He wants 6 gems from Pearlescent drakes. Go to Permafrost (W) and farm the tower surrounded by ice drakes (on a hill overlooking the ocean) until the pearlecent drakes spawn and you get the amount of gems you need. Beware: the pearlescent spawns immediately upon the death of an ice drake. Not every ice drake will produce a pearlescent, maybe every 2 or 3, but it's faster than sandstones.
Note [Morynn]: I got all my gems in about 20 minutes.

Return gems to Keeper Rilzen to receive Ward of Frost.

5. Speak to Keeper Amani, go to Arcadin (N) - she is located roaming on the North side of the north wall. She wants 1 pristine rubilent gem from Rubilent drakes. These are located in 6-7 spots in lavastorm starting from just before the goblin general's castle past the strip of land by the vindicator that is the path to solusek all the way to just past the torrid imp bridges. Map of where rubilent drakes spawn in lsm.
MasterVG782 wrote: Make your way to the goblin general's fort and find the blacksmith there for the Acolyte of Bristlebane quest. Behind the blacksmith is a path that will eventually lead to the entrance of SE (it's a very long path). Along this path will be numerous spots where the light blue imps and the drakes will spawn. Follow this path and kill the two mobs (drakes and light blue imps) until you get to the land bridges with the level 60 imps (who are nasty). DG past this until you find one final spot with the drakes and light blue imps, then RH and start all over. It'll be a long process since you need 32 gems from the drakes in all (the initial gems only stack to 10, so you have to make them as you farm them).

Light blue (to lvl 60) Torrid Imps are the placeholders. They are much easier than the lvl 60 torrid imps.

Bring a jewel crafting kit with you. You will need to farm rubilent drakes until you have 32 rubilent gems. Then use your jeweler kit to combine all of them to form a pristine rubilent gem. You can craft these gems successfully even if you have never jewelcrafted before.

Return the pristine gem to Keeper Amani, then go to the well in back of blackwater to turn your gem into hardened version.

*NoteThe max stack is 10, so craft every four as you go along.
Evian explained:
4 rubilent gems = 1 refined rubilent gem
4 refined rubilent gems = 1 polished rubilent gem [TY Nanes, CoES CLW]
2 polished rubilent gems = 1 pristine rubilent gem [FINAL PRODUCT]
Farm 32 total rubilent gems, which will then be crafted into 8 refined rubilent gems. Futhermore, those 8 refined rubilent gems will be crafted into 2 polished rubilent gems. Lastly, the 2 polished rubilent gems will be crafted into 1 pristine rubilent gem, which is what is needed to advance the quest.

6. Get all your wards and head back to Magnifent the Unliving in Stonewatchers (W). Run a bit NE from the tomb down to the swamp water. Around there you should get a popup about hearing bonewings. Kill each bloodstone drake until a bloodstone drake gem keeper spawns. These will blood but aren't that hard, the keeper is red to a 60 if I remember right but isn't too hard. Loot a ward of magic from gem keeper.

7. Talk to Magnifent and he'll take all your runes and give you a Ward of Elements and you'll be all set to fight the undead drake lord.

Grab some friends (2 groups of 60s should be more than enough) and head a bit S or SE of the tomb. The undead drake lord will spawn maybe 30 seconds run from the tomb. Pull him very fast because bloodstones will start spawning with him almost immedietly and they keep spawning until drake lord is dead or an hour is up.

Drake lord is kinda like a mini bone sentinel, he'll do a form change on whoever has agro. Loot whatever he drops and go back to Magifent.

Magifent says something like meeting him behind the tomb for your reward. Go west of the tomb till you hit a rock, There a living version of Magnifent spawns along with a ghoul. The ghoul isn't Magnifent's pet so you can pull him seperately and kill. The ghoul isn't very bad but Magnifent is almost as tough as undead drake lord.

Kill them both and go back to the unliving version of Magnifent in the tomb. That's it of the hard part.

Go to Klick, the guy you need will be in a guard tower I think e or se of the coach a ways. You'll have a choice of the below rings. Make sure you loot the gem of the ring you want and bring the thing you looted from drake lord.

Reward: (updated statistics by Inno and Berg)
Crimson ring Lvl60 dur65 str25 dex25 hp175 cha-50

NOTE: This quest can be repeated and you can get all four rings or swap one for another providing you have the corresponding gem that goes with it.

Stress_Factor says:
When you finish you'll have a single NO TRADE ring and 4 NO TRADE gems. When the ring you choose is made the ring and gem become a ward/ring with stats stated above. Now since you no longer have the ring you started with, you must have the npc who makes it, un-make it. When this happens the 1st gem you used is deleted and the original un-made ring is returned to you. So, you can never make the first ring you made again unless you get that gem again from redoing the quest. Now you can make make one of the other rings/wards using a different gem. The same rules apply to the next ring made. So basically you will only be able to have one ward/ring with stats so you must decide which one you want to keep.

Now if you want to have more than 1 ward/ring with stats i'll tell you what to do. Lets say you have the Crimson Ward of Anger,but you also want the Mystical Ward of Fortitude. Since you dont have the NO TRADE ring the npc needs to combine with a gem, the only way to get one is to redo the quest and loot another NO TRADE ring. Or loot one on someone elses quest. If i rememeber its called the Ring of Warding. I might be wrong. Now youll also need the gold gem again to combine with your newly looted Ring of Warding. Now the npc will make Mystical Ward of Fortitude. TA DA now you have 2 wards with stats.

Okay well right before you kill you must kill a pop up mob drake, the name is bloodstone drake or something lol. He drops the 4 statless rings. UDL drops 4 white stones which you need to turn in ( not all,just one) and summon Magifents true form. Magifent drops the 4 gems for wards. UDL also drops Drakescale armor. No matter what a person must do the quest once to flag the ringmaker. I did the quest and 3 other people looted but they could not get wards made by the ringmaker npc even though they had a ring and a gem.
