Ok, so he blew the Paw secret King's room. I have been going there since beta because so few people knew of it. In this secret room you come up through the underwater cave. This place is a death trap if things start going badly for you, don't even try running.

Anyway, the first room you swim up to leads to 3 other rooms. Left is a few snakes, right is a door and 3 gnoll nobles in a small room, straight is a very small maze like room.

In the room to the right with the 3 nobles, there is a switch on the wall. I have spent hours trying to figure out what it does, it does something, you hear something opening. Any one have any idea?

Ok, back to the larger room straight ahead. And this one has caused many deaths haha! Here you have various gnoll shamans, high shamans, and nobles. Here is where things get tricky, and I think very few people know this. King Splitpaw can be found here, usually in the back corner of this room every now and then. Basicly, Splitpaw is a big puss, not much better than the other High Shaman in the area.

However! When you kill King Splitpaw (not his actual name, its x Splitpaw, can't remember the first name) Nixx spawns. Nixx is this bad ass Dark Elf Necro. What is odd is before he attacks the person who killed Splitpaw, he says something like "Give me the heart of (something)". About 5 seconds later you are either dead or charmed killing everyone in Paw. I once killed my whole group, another group, and a few stragglers haha. Was sickly fun.

Anyway, that is who that Dark Elf is, he spawns as soon as the King dies, who ya'll killed for the RTS.

I really want to know what the switch is, and what it is Nixx wants, cause he gives you a little time to respond, then he gets pissed. As far as a key, I have yet to see it, but there are chests around there i have seen.

The gnoll you speak of is called Kurrpok Splitpaw, and he carries a ruby pendant which is part of the quest to create the jewelled skull. As you say, Nixx is quite deadly. When I was level 26, I and a level 22 friend I was with managed to kill him, but with barely any fight left in us. As far as I can tell, he carries nothing special. I wonder if he would be amiable to a Dark Elf or other evil race and you could talk to him and get a quest? I am a Ranger of Kelethin, and dark elves and I tend to get on each other's nerves a bit.

The original pre-release information for EQ spoke of the 5 dragons of Norrath. As of now there are 3 (Naggy, Vox, and the Dracolich). I'm not sure if the Dracolich counts, but I do remember reading somewhere that the rest of the dragons would be implimented in the expansion pack. Then again, I'm running off what I REMEMBER here, so please don't take my word as law.

Id like to thank you for clearing the layout of that secret room in PAW up for me. My memmory of the place is quiet bad, because Ive only been there 2 times and that was back in late March early April.

The trap you mentioned was also something I forgot to mention, and I do recall the wizard saying what that trap opens. I vaguely recall him saying it opens a jail cell in there, but Ive never seen any jail cells in PAW.

I fell for one of these traps long ago. Near the zone, there is a rock on the left side. The first person to jump on this rock gets stuck there. Of course this person starts yelling for help, at which time anybody that helps this person by getting close is then gated into a jail cell.

This happened to me, tried helping someone and wound up in a cell with 3 other poeple. A GM happened to be taking amusement to all this and offered to get us out, but we all decided to role-play and figure it out ourselves. I gated to the mouth of Paw, came back in and flipped the switch.

Getting back on subject, I know all the switches for those jail cells, so this is really interesting. If it opens another cell I don't know about, then I got to go find it! Unless I am just forgetting there may be one cell not openable by the switches in same room.

That would really suck! I am glad I never found that trap. You fall into trap, someone else has to come up and fight their way through to pull the noble room switch.

under the plane of sky section.. btw plane of sky is accessible only through a spell like the one used to enter hate and im sure there will be some costly item needed to cast the gate to sky just like the one hate uses..

mrsmid my rl friend also knows about this door in bb and far as from what he knew the key in splitpaw has been removed. they felt that when the zone would be implemented they would rather have some sort of quest involved in opening the door, or possibly just leave the door open for all.

Anyone notice how werewolves speak if you hail them..well since enchanters get werewolf illusion at lvl 44 i imagine they could hail them alot and it would raise skill somehow and they could actually learn the language good enough to understand them...I imagine this could lead to a large quest or something cool about werewolves...only problem is when werewolves spawn they only last about a minute because everyone is seeking the claws so they can get the famed Lupine Claw Gauntlets which I only know of 4 pairs on my server.

Another thing picture of kraken is just a top of an elephant or calf head colored blue I picked it up as soon as i saw the picture.

Any followers of cazic-thule ever hailed him? I figure if hes yur god he wont kill you but im not sure about that.

Another thing with the new gnoll scrolls I've read all of them but what do they meen?
Is it just a history or is it the begging of a gnoll quest involving Torn Ear clan and Old Sp Gnolls (the weak ones hehe)

I also looked at Gazamel's SS showing he had FSS off a keeper..but u notice he doesnt have anything under his mouse pointer..how can you look at something's stats while not having it under your mouse pointer or is the weapon invis or something

Allizewsaur isnt a pushover like ppl r saying he is. I watched 2 groups of 47-50 kill him about 30 times one day when i was lvl 16. They had some tough problems with him alot because hed eat the necro pets and go after the necros and not the warrior. He has about 20k hps so no two ppl could kill him like some guy said. He was Ice Cometed probably 10 times during battle along with some gravity fluxx's and necro life taps along with a warrior bashing him. He has a very rapid spawn and NO he does not kill the goblins there. I was used to kill the goblins because they gave targeting problems to the casters sometimes getting in alli's way.

Most of the things the guy who started this thread were once in the game but are no longer in it..mayong does NOT spawn or at least not on fennin ro otherwise mistmoore would be much popular than its 20 ppl there on average. I have not seen antonious bale or whatever but i've heard him shouting before in Qeynos during a gm event where 11 gms were but it lagged pretty bad and no it was not the gm wedding that was held 2-3 days ago.

Just thought id throw that in for a time of reading for about 2 hours on a threat

That is the only locked door I can think of, unless there is a hidden wall or something I don't know of, but I spent most of my life (4 characters actually) in Blackburrow and have pushed and clicked everything trying to find the secret to Blackburrow.

Considering the content of the thread why hadsn't 1) the thread been closed like so many others when get to this length and 2) ANYONE made any mention that this is the RoK forum and almost NONE of the posts have ANYTHING to do with the expansion.

The new mystery is what have we touched on recently that IS in the new expansion that has lead this thread to continue to exist? Could it be the firepots will be implemented fully or to their potential?? (btw if you solve this and post it on CoN OR Alakazham's I will see to it that you are dealt with harshly!! ) Or maybe the Clockwork Dragon will come out of hiding?? Man EQ has been so much more fun recently wondering if this stuff is in game or we are just nuts.

The last thing I want to point out is there are over 260 posts on this thread and NONE of them are bumps! That is 250+ REAL posts people. This thread stays on top because this is the stuff WE WANT to see. I have had so much fun rp'ing my cleric around in Neriak looking for these answers!! I CAN"T WAIT to get home and continue the search.

Everyone have a happy holiday, I am off from work for 2 weeks now.

If I were a big time game producer making an expansion to a game that has a few flaws (crowding) and such, I would want as much positive attention as possible.

This thread gets peoples' minds of camping, kill stealing, over-crowding, and everything else. This is GOOD for Verant, and this thread is picking up momentum. So it really is in their interest to keep it active. Everything here is positive posts, and none are bumps.

This discussion is the kind of environment Verant tried to establish in EQ, people sharing ideas and stories. I think they did a pretty good job myself, just a few flaws.

As you pass from East Karana to Highhold, you must traverse a very long ramp. I am sure we are all in sync at this point.

What are those towers for? Or what were they for? The huge carvings in the mountains, who is that? Are they historical figures from Norrath, or just developer pics?

I am very interested on the gods of EQ and there appearences on thge planes of Norrath. Ok i am the one who posted about Bertoxxulous and the dagger. We are working on a web page and it will be up in 2-3 days. i will post link then.

You have seen the saturn planet from a boat on OOT? That is very cool, because Ive seen a picture of that planet in PoS pics at EQ stompped. As you did mention also. Has anyone else seen the saturn planet while taking a boat to OOT, I would like to know what direction I should look in on future trips.

Heres another one I thought was a wee bit odd. I know the continent of Odus is rarely ventured but let me tell you, it has some odd mysteries yet to be looked into. I was in route to erudin one day when I happened upon a mermaid who conned blue to me, her name was Hitaki (Or something of the likes, not sure) and she didn't attack . I hailed and she made no comment, and when I killed her I recieved an ogre head; odd.

The second odd occurance in Odus I had was while taking a ship back to Qeynos. I was sitting on the ship enjoying the stars when I was smacked down by a Ghastly Sailor? He conned very red to me and was smacking me for around 85+ with his sword (looked like one of those madmen). Need I say, CR time for me, and I was bound in Rivervale too..
