== Epic 3.0 Quest Line ==

Start out by seeking Emissary of Karana in the Guildlobby.

* Hail the Emissary of Karana – To begin your epic Adventure.

* “Well met, I am an Emissary of Karana, seeking assistance.”

* Say “Assistance”

* “Yes… Yes.. My esteemed Lord Karana has broaden his mind, he seeks out an adventurer who is willing to complete a task for him. Are you this adventurer?”

* Say “Task”

* “Lord Karana, before the time of his deity rule over Norath and his humanoids, he was an uncertain entity… Karana created, destroyed and forgot alot of things prior to his coming. One of those forgotten things was a book, the book itself had many Mysteries… He needs help to retrieve it.”

* Say “Mysteries”

* The book contains a magical combination of Karana’s old magic, you should speak to him about it, seek him out in one of the Karana zones, every century he seems to move.”

* '''The Emissary sends you to the “Karana” Zones to find him, I would look at the east if I were you.'''

Find Lord Karana and try not to annoy him with silly questions. Gods don’t take kind to pettiness.

* Say Hail, Lord Karana.

* Lord Karana Growls At You.

* Ask him about what you are after, maybe the book?

* “The..? Book?… My… My Emissary sent you?”

* Say “Sent”

* “Finally! I.. I have been searching for someone to help me… Yes help.”

* Say “Help”

* “Good good, i have a task for you young $class, you will most likely die but i will make sure your resurrection is swift.. Until you pass of course. The book must be retrieved, in return i will reward you with my gift.. A new, weapon? Yes.. A weapon..”

* Say “Reward”

* “Yes, don’t ask any silly questions, of course it is a book. Find this book, do not ask any silly questions.. Seek out my old Captain Veil’Darah and the reward is yours.

* Say “Old”

* “Who? Captain Veil’Darah is no who.. More so… A what.. Veil was my second before he objected and now he is a minor. But Veil’Darah has my book.. Stop wasting questions and go! Seek him out in the North Karana.”

* Say “Why”

Lord Karana hands you a note for Veil Darah when you ask him about the reward, head to North Karana, the captain hangs around the other guards.

* Hail Captain Viel Darah, “Get Lost, Fool”

* Hand him the note;

* “Eh, so Lord Karana sent you about his book, did he?”

* Say, “Yes”

* “Well, I split the book up and burnt the cover.. The $Pages are no longer with me and nor should they be with Karana!!”

* Say, “Pages”

* “Split up they are, completely out of my reach.. Ha! One of them even lies down in the Shade Kings dunge… What trickery is this?? Karana… I feel you… Argh fine.. let the mortal defeat my Lieutenant, then maybe we will see… Here, take this and get ready. Hand it back when you are keen to die.”

* Viel Darah hands you a challenge, hand it back when you are ready to face his Lieutenant.

* Kill the Lieutenant and hand in the Medal;

* Viel Darah tells you where you need to go for the other pages
**Shade Prince, located in the Crypts in Frostcrypts
**Vault Master Goil in Valdeholm
**Prismatic Caretaker in chambers before the Mother, in Crystallos
**Ice Drakes in Crystallos drop a page, as well
**Rotticus in House of Thule, Upper Floors
**Morzad Monsters in House of Thule, Upper Floors
**Several monsters in Field of Scale
**Draconic Spirit Ember in Arcstone, Isle of Spirits
**A Noc Darklurch in Old Bloodfields

When you have all the pages, speak to Viel Darah again;

* Hand in '''Be sure to follow these instructions, exactly or he will eat the pages''':
** First Hand In: Page 1 to 4.
** Second Hand In: Page 5 to 7.
** Third Hand In: Page 8 to 10.

Receive the First, Second and Third Quarter and hand them to Lord Karana.

* Lord Karana will advise you that there is another part of the hand in, seek out who he suggests.

Once you have all 4 pieces to hand in to Lord Karana, he will hand you back a Tear of Karana, you will then need to purchase a token from him, hand both in.

Congrats, that is your Epic 3.0!

Malk:

Tier Progression is part of the current end-game experience on Karana. Each Tier rewards a variety of new options for Armor, non-vis gear, weapons, tasks, and more.

Tier 1-3 is built on the Lost Dungeons of Norrath Adventure system, with point tokens awarded for completing tasks and found as loot in the zones for the tier.
''Pro tip: T1-3 share points at the vendors, '''but''' like with LDoN vendors on Live, you must earn at least enough points in each tier to cover the cost of an item to purchase items from the vendors using points earned in other tiers. Some tiers are more efficient for farming than others...do with this information what you will...''

Tier 4+ use Alternate Currency to purchase gear items from their respective vendors.

== Tier 1 - Halas Expeditions ==
(3 Instances)
*Savage Lords in the Guild Lobby
** Savage Lord Etherat - Easy
**Savage Lord Chadder - Medium
**Savage Lord Bart - Hard
**''Pro tip: All 3 tasks can be completed in each instance. Say "Request" to each dragon before clicking "Ready". Once all three tasks are complete, /kickp exp to leave the instance, pick up all three tasks again, and move on to the next dragon and click "Ready", rinse repeat each time to receive 3x rewards per instance lockout.''

**Ignore spawns at your own peril
**Don't be surprised if you die sometimes, even if you think you did everything right

Malk: Created page with "Leveling on Karana is ''very'' fast. Many pathways are viable and as a general rule, anywhere that you want to explore to level you should '''go for it!''' That said, here are some zones along the way where you can find items of special interest that will help with future progression.
