Shield Of The Tree Quest

The Shield Of The Tree is a difficult quest in the Transfigured Forest. It is very hard to solo parts of the quest and will require several players or several alts with different alignments/fighting styles.

You will need eight different items before you are ready to obtain the shield.

Three can be found scattered around the area, in no fixed location.

<spoiler> Retrieve the following items:

• clump of stone
• clump of leaves
• clump of ice

These are scattered around on several mobs. The ice (by far the hardest one to get) is in the "Ice Tree" section on a Giant Creature Of Ice (A strange creature of ice stands quietly among the branches), the leaves on a Giant-Shaped Swirl Of Leaves, and the stone on a Trunk Of Stone. There are three of each mob. Kill all three for repop. </spoiler>

You will also need four items which will generally require four different characters to gain.

<spoiler> You will also need to get one of each of the mana items:

• Gnarled Branch Of Age
• Swirl Of Fumes
• Grey Orb Of Stone
• Crackling Sphere Of Lightning

Since each of these require a certain type of player to get you will need a mix of good/melee, good/caster, evil/melee, evil/caster. </spoiler>

After you have all these items get started by getting the root in the secret tunnel (hidden west exit in the shortcut to Ent). Give it to the Heavily Scarred Ent to begin the quest.

<spoiler> He will give you a new glowing root. You will then give the new root to the Vortex Of Souls which will take it and the four mana items and give you a glowing seed. Take the seed back to the scarred ent and give it to him. He will take it and give you back glowing seed. Give it and the three clumps back to ent to receive the Shield Of The Tree. </spoiler>
