Walkthrough
- Speak with Gumbah.
- Speak to him repeatedly until you get the cutscene that begins the quest.
- Travel to Palborough Mines and go to the top floor, the area with the burn hole in the map.
- Go to the boat docks (H-8) and take the boat back to Zeruhn Mines.
- At the end of the cutscene, you will obtain the Chaosbringer greatsword.
- If you drop the Chaosbringer before completing the requisite number of kills, return to Palborough Mines and ride the boat back to Zeruhn Mines to reobtain it; your kill count will be reset to zero.
- You must now slay 100 monsters with the sword equipped in order to activate its potential.
- This portion is easy if you have WAR or RUN leveled and Great Sword skilled.
- If you do not have WAR leveled, you might as well level it up now!
- If you do not have Great Sword skilled, proceed to the starter mobs outside of gate, they should die in one or two hits as well skill you up.
- Do not use Weapon Skills for the kill shot, it won't count towards the 100 kills.
- The only kills that count are normal kill hits from the sword.
- The sword has a 'memory' of how many it has slain, so you do not need to worry about zoning out, logging out, etc. There is also no time limit.
- You have to keep track of the number of kills yourself as there is no indicator on the sword. Or you could just go on a killing or farming rampage and before you know it, voila you have met the requirements.
- Set the Records of Eminence quest Conflict: South Gustaberg (or similar) to help you keep track of kills. Make use of the /echo command to track every 10th kill.
- If you use Windower with chat logging, you can use a text editor like Notepad++ to find the number of "#Playername defeats" entries if you want to do it in one session.
- If using Windower and addon LatentChecker, you can track the number of kills.
- Upon the completion of the mass slaying, proceed to Beadeaux. Zone in for a cutscene to complete the quest.
