Well there has been an in-game quest now for a month on obsidian. A secretive one, if you complete it you can turn into the rare dark elf race. I have come to a dead end i have Searched everywhere looking for signs to start the elf quest, but i cannot find any. If anyone wants to join in and help find out where to start to quest to become a dark elf then by all means you can join. All you have to do is explorer the land of Obsidian and post some unsual things and i will go look them over and see if it is a clue to start the dark elf quest.

Post here or pm me if you find anything. I will keep this updated with everything i find.

Edit: Well These are some pictures about the old Dark Elf Quest. There used to be a portal you had to wear dark elf bone armour to get into, and it would bring you to these series of mazes that eventually took you to the shadow drow. At the end of the screenshots the dark elfs escaped on a boat. So i was thinking maybe they are on a boat at a dock or somthing. There is a dock south of moonglow but it is spirte mages protecting it not dark elfs so nothing there.

Anyways these are the pictures. (Props goes to Duo)

- North of Minoc is where the shadow were first spotted
- Britain library and castle british are a great holding points for Britain
- There have been witness of drow turning undead into shadows
- These listed at the end of this post were found in the britatin graveyard and might give insight on where to go next.
- The shadows are being created by what seems 4 rods in 4 locations around the world

Well ive checked literaly everywhere for dark elfs but nothing, i think it might be a book or maybe somthing a dark elf at xroads/shame drops that leads to a clue.

Read my Edit that might help with some ideas.

I know a unknown portal. U need dark elf gear to go through?

That unkown portal is from another quest one that CV hosted with the serpentines. Near Cove 3 entrance, its not for dark elf one.

no they were removed

I think maybe some sort of direction like if staff see someone close they advise them or something because i went roudn for hours yesterday killing dark elfs going to all the old spots and found nuthing.
surely we should atleas tno what we r looking for. theres laods of people that want to look into the quest because they like quests but me aimee and albert were going round looking at all sorts not knowning what we r looking for.
I cant say what we r looking for maybe like what town or area?

ya a quest with no starting guiding direction = next to impossible,
ultima is HUGE asking us to find a level in the middle of no where is just stupid..

wait nvm.. were not even sure if its a lever! where not even sure if were looking for an object....

I agree, but maybe the quest is no existent lmao:P and we will be rewardd for our hard efforts:)

It's probably not even made yet, he's just not giving any clues since he's probably still working on it.

Ok so bodys on "man" are appearing around the world. Ive seen them in Shame and in Ice isle.
Also there is some dark elves in trinsic. I will post the co-ords later.
There is also wood elf archers in with the dark elves in shame.
Edit- A body of man in destard to.

If I say something's in, it's in. Next time post something useful.
The dark elf quest was designed and put in almost a month before the dark elves themselves went in, just because it's such a bitch of a quest.

That being said, i give clues every 3 daysish, to different timezones to ensure i hit people evenly. already given out 4 so far. The reason i'm NOT posting them on forums is because i'd rather active players have a better chance at finishing the quest than inactives. If they feel like reposting the hints, they're welcome to.
