Scrying Stones and Locations : EverQuest 2 Premium Discussions

Can anyone assist with common known scrying locations and some information on the loot drops.

I understand that some loot drops are books that tell you to kill 10 Centaurs in 5 minutes. This may be difficult deep in Nektulos Forest trying to run to the Centaurs.

So possibly a database of the drops and mob locations required. There may be one out there already that I have not found. Any assistance would be appreciated

Thanks

What the hell are Scrying stones?

hmm.... maybe I am spelling it wrong.

You can purchase the stones from a merchant on the left side of the dock in Nektulos Forest Beach. I believe it is a dwarf.

Throughout the lands there are spots that light up with a rainbow type aura. When you see this you step on the location and use the scrying stone. A treasure of some sort will pop out. I have seen this to range from Armor, Weapons, Coins (that sell back to the merchant for 10s - 10g, also the treasure coins come in multiples.) and training books. Apparently these books kick off a training quest that consists of reading 18 of the books.

Known locations of these so far has been at the waterfall in Nek the lake with the fairies, Thundering steppes near the centaurs and near the giants in thundering steppes.

I hope this helps.

BTW the armor drops are better than AQ armor.

Awesome info! How much do these stones go for?

10s/Stone, buyable at both docks in Nek and TS at the artifact vendor which also buys back everything you will find for the best price.

Nice, so you reptty much always get return profit on these things?

Contains all the information you'd ever want on scrying.. at least all thats currently known. Theres a missing NPC who you turn the artifacts into, but good chance he dosent exist at this time.

WOW I have seen tons of these things... Stupid me for not researching...

I am thinking a script to speed activate these are in order but I know nothing about them (never seen a SS in game). Is it activate from slot or bag?

Also 5 mobs in 5 min. Do they spawn there on you or you have to go find them? When does timer start? I glanced thru link and didn't see this info.

There's alot of the different types of books, some say 5 animals in 5 minutes, some say 5 undead in five mins, ect. I just go to a newbie zone, read the book to start the quest, kill 5 things in like 2 minutes, and then you get the exp

Ahhh so it is not in relation to mobs in your lvl range... Nice! It says sometimes a mob might pop, what lvl are these mobs and are they always a "solo" type mob or is there a good chance you get may get instant wacked.?

Loraik

The mobs that spawn are solo to ++, usually around level 25. They are the triggered veriety, so they will follow you around a zone forever and will never lose agro (which I found funny, because they are very grey to me.. so if I was scrying for a long period of time I'd get 50 or 60 of these things chasing me)

I believe theres 18 books forevery class

Ok went and did 100 stones last night and all I can say about this is "Welcome to EQ2's version of EQlive's casino".... I got some rings that were clue to me and some books to do quests but all in all waste of time/money.. (IMO)

Loraik

I have found that in the better areas you get better loot. I have pulled up some really nice pieces of armor that sell for 3-4 gold to the vendor. As well as, "a magnificant find" that yeilded 50 scry stones that are worth 10s each back to the vendor. It is profitable but I would not waste any stones on the lower level areas. The return is not there yet!

As for the books.
Has anyone completed all of the books? Or any of the 3 of one series.
I have found greater, standard and lesser classes of books. The different lines has been:

neophyte
diviner
apprentice
master

Maybe some others that I forget. I think there is a total of 6 different types and 3 of each type to equal 18 different quests. These are all classified as training quest and are listed in your completed quest journal. It also lists them as repeatable.

Lets keep this information coming.

I did 15 stones in TS since I had the map with the spawn locations and figured the lewt would be better in Zek. So I loaded up the truck and I moved to Zek... This is where I determined the stones were just another casino. I would say about 40% were "found nothing", 30% were "you disturbed something" and 30% was books, bracelets and greak even stuff. 10g spent I would say I could make back 3g with what I found.

Don't get me wrong some people are in to this but untill I am just swimming in free money I really can't afford to take the gamble.

I didn't look at link but in case it wasn't mentioned there are light locations in Zek at the bottom of the mine, the druid rings and the lumberjack/threetoes area (the whole area).
