Also, just noticed this today. There is a magician and two shamans (male magi, female shamans) NPCs in Everfrost (by the wall on the way to the platform; turn right when leaving the path going to halas). The mage offers a quest to search for a Wheel of *something* (can't remember ). The story behind the wheel is that it will let the holder teleport between the planes. The book that is handed to you gives some information about where to find the pieces for the wheel. Anone know about this? My lvl 7 shaman has the book, but it looks to be a very high level quest (involving kedge keep and all).

The Good one is Zazamoukh, hes on top of a mesa with ebon, onyx drakes flying around him. Hes located at the south western part of the zone.

The evil one is Ankhefenmut. He located at the end of the long valley on the North eastern part of the zone. He scowls at me, but you CAN walk in front of him for some nice screen shots. DO NOT stand UNDER him or else he will attack.

They are both enchanter classes and have animated pets.

As for the 6 scarabs. 3 of them are evil (middle of the zone). Ankhesmerira (main beetle), Ankhetperure, and Ankhesenaten.

The 3 good scarabs are near the troll tower. They are at the corner. There names are Zazamaharet (main beetle), Zazaphenebti, and Zazamenhu.

I got screen shots of both these sphinx. They are upclose to their faces.

While I was wondering around I saw a dark elf NPC named Kazzel D'Leryt. He was running around near the lizard camps on top of the rocky hill. Any information on him? I've have yet to encounter the bootstrutter guy, named basilisk, and the ogrefeind cyclops dude.

On the Everlore site, when you read about the Illusion: Werewolf spell, you see a quote from an Enchanter who said he hailed a Werewolf when using this illusion.

I don't think the response he got from the hail is the one pasted on Everlore, but the important part is that he said part of the response was in square brackets.. a clear hint the Werewolf has more to tell you.

About the sphinxes:

I spent until 4 in the morning this past Sunday raising faction with Ankhefenmout, the one I believe to be the "good" one (I base this on the fact that I'm a High Elf and he was indifferent, whereas Zazamoufk was threatening). Roughly sixty dead Zaza beetles later, I'm amiable with Anhkefenmout, but my faction gaining bugged and I stopped going up with him, only down with Zaza. Before bothering to relog etc and try to fix it, I petitioned and spoke with a guide on my server whom I asked if the sphinxes were operational. He spoke with some other guide (couldn't get her name, was told she was running a quest at the time) who told him that they were currently broken and had only ever worked on one server. So I abandoned it for now, I'll try again when I can find a full fledged GM on my server that I can hassle for info

Oh, and also, the scarab totem in North Ro. If I remember right there used to be a mummy named Rahotep that would spawn in the desert somewhere, I assume at the totem. Anyone seen him lately?

About the mystery sigil/summoning circle:

The night I was raising faction with Ankh I also took the time to visit LOTS of ruins around Norrath. The sigil found in Neriak (hereafter referred to as the Neriak Crest) that supposedly has to do with the locked pots can be found in Lake Rathetear on the enchanter tower, *and* the aviak tower with the flame. The exact same Crest + Flame can be found in Rathe Mtns at an abandoned tower with two ogre guards (very near the Zaza beetles). I've yet to track down any other spots, but I'm sure there are more.

As to the symbolism of the Crest, its a bit fuzzy. The center of it is also found on Innoruuk's belt buckle I am told, and to me it looks ALOT like a goblin's head with two arrows pointing to it (there's even a color difference where eyes should be). The bottom right symbol is found dozens of times in Erudin, the everfrost caves where Sulon McMoore wanders, and IIRC Permafrost Keep. Last, the bottom left symbol is found at almost every orc camp in Norrath, and is also emlazoned very large above the entrance to Crushbone.

The last two are a mystery. One looks like two crossed bones (wrenches? I'll be checking Akanon soon), and the other is a simple spiral. The only other symbols on the crest look like decoration. One is a 3 x 3 grid of squares, one is a stylized W, and the last is a set of horizontal lines.

The Axe of The Slayers..

I've never seen ANYONE weild this axe on my server (fennin ro).

Sure they say it comes off a named orc that has a priest as its place holder..

BUT IVE SEEN NO SCREENSHOTS OF A ACTUAL CHRARACTER USING THIS WEAPON!

Btw what does rampage do?

I hailed him and nothing happened, so I had a 30+ friend kill him for me, don't remember the faction hits but he had no loot worth speaking of.

Hmm, I don't know anything about the wheel, but wish they had more ways to get to the planes than just caster spells.

Second--this is not only the longest and best thread I've ever read, but I am so glad to see a change from the continuous rants I am constantly reading that get me depressed about logging back on. This is actually getting me excited about getting back into the game.

Now for the mystery parts. When I first started reading I couldn't think of anything that a lowly level 28 could have possibly done that could be that intriguing, but as I read ideas popped into my head about things I have seen.

In Erudexing I have come into 'melee' range of the fire elemental but didn't actually see it. While waiting for the boat I have several times 'heard' it casting. The time I got in a fight with it was when I boarded the boat and sat down to meditate. It hit me. I looked around frantically and after not seeing my attacker quickly jumped off the boat just as it departed the dock. I did some shouts and said that the fire elemental just left for Erudin but the other person on the boat said he didn't see me get attacked and he didn't see an ele on the boat.

I too have heard about the hidden courtyard in Unrest. I haven't tested it out, though, as I couldn't imediately find anything I could Levitate from. I did hear that it is impossible to get back out without gate, so if you're a tank don't try it unless some guides are on.

About Princess Thex in Lake Rathe, I was camping the flame tower with a group and after she did her shout I saw a message saying she slashed herself for 32000 dmg. I have more recently learned that when MOBs get into pathing bugs where they start out mobile then get stuck they will kill themselves to prevent players from exploiting.

Being a wizard I just recently started the Tarton Wheel quest and one of my recent rods was the one under the flame tower in Lake Rathe. It was on the top floor of a tower (like the one that the stone skeles spawn in near the diving board--but white tiles) It had a whole in the floor with no ladder and had at least 4 treasure chests on that level. Being invised with enduring breath and several /con red mobs around I didn't bother to stay around to admire the scenery, however, a casting goblin ended up seeing invis right after i picked up the rod (I think an aqua goblin shaman) and I died shortly there after.

I have recently noticed that Jyleal is no longer a Lord but rather a General.

I have explored the 'hidden' passege ways in Felwithe but have done nothing more to that guard other than bind sight to figure out how to get in there.

I have had my own encounter with an inky in Paw. I was about level 25 or so at the time running around the dungeon freely (before the change) when I decided there was really nothing for me to see and I tried to get back. Needless to say I got lost. I wandered into a 'structred' area (as opposed to the rest of it being caverns) with several barred gates that opened with no problem like regular doors. I went into another room and saw a dark blurr run past my screen. I turned to see it but couldn't find it. Then I was being attacked, and viciously (boy can those inkies fight). I ran out of that cell and turned to see that my assailant was a dark elf (didn't ever really catch the name). Hopelessly lost, I knew my only chance was to gate, but just my luck--wasn't memmed. Probably my only show of quick wits I rooted the smurf, ran to a corner and sat down. I flipped my pages in my spellbook back to Pg. 1 and got my gate spell memmed. Sat up started casting and got out with just one hit in during my cast. Never wanted to go back after that, especially now that there's harder things there.

As you are going into Permafrost, right after the Ice Giant before you go around the first corner right before the zone. If you stay close to the left wall there is a hidden passage. I've followed it to the end, opens out into an open snowy area (real discriptive there ;P). I didn't go any farther as my guild was holding a raid to get some Icey Greaves and they needed a low level blaster in their group.

I know I'm not the only one to have seen them, but if you are in North Ro and Oasis (maybe other zones too) look up into the skies. Occasionally 5 UFOs will fly in a "V" pattern.

That is about all you can get out of this level 28 unless there is something I forgot. Rest assured, though, that once I get back on, many of these mysteries will be investigated by me. Incase you haven't guessed my main character is a level 28 wizard by the name of Quein Queller and he is on Innoruuk. If you'd like at anytime send me a tell, I'm always interested in making new friends.

A tunnel in the lava? Interesting. Someone who can cast breif invulnerability spells should go out there.

I love this thread! I think we need some confirmation or debunking of some rumors here, though. There are a LOT of neat ideas and thoughts, but no solid proof whatsoever...

Quein, the gob didn't see through your invis. I'm suprised how many casters who use invis don't know it cancels when you pick up ANYTHING.

The sister talking of the monster is a left over. They took out the monster, but not referances to it, a common programing mistake.

Hmm, anyone ever wander around in the caves underwater in everfrost(dark in there, esp for hummies)but the fire pot symbol is everwhere in there, this may have to do this the guy we meet(but did not engage, he was red to my 31ranger buddy)Sudan or some such. Nice place to visit, but have gate ready=)

Remember the Ak'Anon search on The Tribunal on Jan 8th, we will be looking over one of the least visisted cities in all norrath, lock, stock, and barrel. Everyone is welcome to come search.

I was in Ak'Anon investigating that switch and the king (I have some screen shots of the clockwork MMs and a log file of the event and a witness--the MM thing doesn't work so perfectly everytime as on most of the occasions only the clockwork spider beside the king turned into an MM, and the king killed me), I found that symbol inside of the king's palace (from the entrance go into the first room with all the clockworks then go in the door on the left. go straight accross and in the next room on a right hand cubby hole the symbol will be on the floor there (I have a screen shot). There is a symbol on the lower right corner of the picture that is like a "U" shaped thing. That symbol is on the entrance to Erudin from Tox Forest (I have a screenshot) and is also the shape of the monument in LFay, it has shadow men on it(More screen shots)

Nixx's surname I do not remember, I believe it starts with N also. Like Nixx Nxxxxxxx. I was about to take screenshots of him but I got a visit by a GM to test out the guild code (remember how buggy the guild code was?).

Also, i'm really curious why there is the ufo in the queynos pladins/clerics guild. maybe for a story line they could have a group of DEs gate into it and fly it away, or use its death rays to terrorize the populace. it just seems so out of place with the everquest world. unless the healing god (forgot name) knows their is intelligent life out there.

Maybe a lot of mysteries will come together in kunark. princess thex could be taken there, clockwork dragon might be there. etc.

I don't really have much to offer in the way of more mysteries or supposed answers, all that I have seen or discovered has been already covered in this thread.
