General Quest Info
Obtaining Dufrenite
You can buy Dufrenite from a merchant in your hometown, or from someone who got a drop. Dufrenite rarely drops in Solusek's Eye (Sol A) from clockwork gnomes. So far I have paid an average of 60pp per Dufrenite off using /auction. I haven't had to buy one from the merchant in Grobb, but it sells for 154pp there. The Grobb Merchants name is Zumzal, and he is in the Shaman Guild area. Dufrenite can also be purchased from Murtog MacYee in Halas.
Processing Dufrenite
The Ogre Shamans in Lake Rathetear at loc 3000,-1900 will crush/grind/powder Dufrenite for you.
- Grud makes the Crushed Dufrenite.
- Trug makes the Powdered Dufrenite.
- Punga makes the Ground Dufrenite.
Make sure you have the right type of Dufrenite! If you turn in powder when it calls for crushed they will take all your items and leave you with nothing!
Doing the turn-in
Give the items to Vrynn or Kyralynn, at the Barbarian Village in Lake Rathetear (loc 500, 2500). Make sure to give the correct items to the correct NPC or your items will be lost.
Vrynn will make:
- Totemic Boots
- Totemic Gauntlets
- Totemic Greaves
- Totemic Vambraces
Kyralynn will make:
- Totemic Bracers
- Totemic Breastplate
- Totemic Cloak
- Totemic Helm
They only accept Medium banded armor for these quests, not small or large (confirmed to still be true in Everquest Legends). Medium banded does not actually say "Medium" on it. It is just called banded armor. So don't run all the way there with your large banded gauntlets and get stonewalled by Vrynn, or run all the way there with the ringmail gauntlets you got while farming the Centaur Charger for his chips, thinking you have your banded gauntlets with you. (Smithing)
Recommended Order
If you're planning on getting a full set, you can use the regional checklist further below to track what you need to get from each zone, or nearby groups of zones. If you're also trying to level at the same time, then in terms of difficulty you will probably want to start with Lesser Faydark, Rathe Mountains, then the Karanas camps first. And you will probably want to end with the Dagnor's Cauldron region (Dagnor's Cauldron, Unrest, Kedge Keep).
Vrynn's Quests
Boots

Slot: FEET
AC: 10
STR: +5
WT: 3.6 Size: MEDIUM
Class: SHM
Race: BAR TRL OGR
- Banded Boots
- Dufrenite
- Terror Spines (Tentacle Terror, Najena)(lvl22) or (a tentacle terror, Unrest) (lvl30)
- Chief's Tongue (Orc chief, Lesser Faydark) (lvl18)
The tentacle terror in Najena is easier to get to and lower level. But if you will need a bunch of items from Unrest if you plan on getting a full set.
Orc chief presides over a camp of Orcs in Lesser Faydark. Most of the orcs are under level 10, the chief and his placeholder, Orc Legionnaire, are 18. He is located on the Lesser Faydark map at number 9.
Gauntlets

Slot: HANDS
AC: 11
INT: +5
SV COLD: +5
WT: 2.8 Size: SMALL
Class: SHM
Race: BAR TRL OGR
- Banded Gauntlets
- Crushed Dufrenite
- Mammoth Rib Bone (a wooly mammoth, Everfrost Peaks) (lvl22-26)
- Griffenne Downfeather (a griffenne, Northern Karana) (lvl23-27)
These drops were pretty easy. I was able to solo both the Mammoths and Griffenne at lvl21 (both red) without too much trouble. Root and Dot works well.
a wooly mammoths are plentiful. I farmed my ribs outside of the Permafrost Keep zone line, in case I had to bail. I got the ribs on my 2nd kill, but lost them when I tried to turn in Large Banded instead of Medium Banded for the quest. The 2nd time around I killed about 10 of them without a drop, then a nice necro (Thanks Asahi!!) sent me a tell out of the blue with the /loc of a mammoth he had killed. The worst part about this is the run to Everfrost. If you are an evil race, I suggest binding in the Gypsy Camp in North Karana, making the run, and gating back. Watch out for the 2 Barbarian guard types on the way out onto the tundra. If you have to ditch into Permafrost Keep, hug the wall on the left to avoid Ice Giant agro.
Griffennes are difficult to find without track. Unlike some other versions of Everquest, Everquest Legends does not seem to have any static spawns of griffennes or griffawns. Using tracking, I started hunting both types of griffins - which mostly seemed to spawn in the northern part of the zone, north of the road. But pretty soon there were no more griffins of any type. So it seems that they share spawns with other roaming animals in the area. Clearing all of the beetles, wisps, bears, and lions north of the road I was able to get griffennes to spawn, but it's very slow and the drop rate for the downfeather is not great - mine dropped from my fifth or sixth griffenne.
Sleeves

Slot: ARMS
AC: 10
AGI: +5
WT: 3.7 Size: SMALL
Class: SHM
Race: BAR TRL OGR
- Banded Sleeves
- Ground Dufrenite
- Ghoul Carrion (a carrion ghoul, Unrest) (lvl20)
- Charger Hoof Chips (centaur charger, Southern Karana) (lvl29)
centaur chargers are in South Karana at the Centaur Stables (area 4 on the South Karana map). You can hunt the centaurs inside and around their camp to spawn chargers pretty regularly. Just keep clear of the western stable with the named vendors. The centaurs will assist one another but they won't give you much trouble, and if you come here around level 20 its probably pretty good experience, too.
a carrion ghouls are in Unrest and typically on the 2nd floor of the house. Try getting into the "FP" or Fire Place group, on the second floor, or just waiting patiently nearby until ghoul carrion drops, which is fairly common.
Leggings

Slot: LEGS
AC: 12
CHA: +5
SV FIRE: +5
WT: 4.2 Size: LARGE
Class: SHM
Race: BAR TRL OGR
- Banded Leggings
- Powdered Dufrenite
- Permafrost Snowball (goblin wizard, Permafrost) (lvl23)
- Bone Barbs (a barbed bone skeleton, Unrest) (lvl24)
goblin wizards are all around Permafrost. Depending on your level, you could either easily duo or solo this. It is my suggestion to make an expedition out of your trip to Perma. Take a friend or two and work the spawn points. Even as low as 17, with a full group you'll have a profitable and fun jaunt here. You might get an upgrade, and you will certainly get the snowball to drop.
a barbed bone skeleton are in Unrest. I got mine by sitting next to a group killing them. They called the camp spot the "FP" or Fire Place, on the second floor. Its also easy to get Ghoul Carrion here, from the Carrion Ghouls that are usually being pulled by this group. They also have a chance to spawn in most of the spots in the basement's main room as well as the two spots just after the bookcase. So, if you're able to handle the hags, head downstairs. I saw at least two spawn each cycle. ["It only took 27 kills to get one bone barb here." -Daidhid] They are also a random spawn at the western undead temple in rathe mountains.
Kyralynn's Quests
Bracer

Slot: WRIST
AC: 9
DEX: +5
WT: 2.3 Size: SMALL
Class: SHM
Race: BAR TRL OGR
- Banded Bracer
- Dufrenite
- Bull Elephant Tooth (a bull elephant, Southern Karana) (lvl20-24)
- Cauldron Shell (aqua goblin tidal lord, Dagnor's Cauldron) (lvl22-24)
The tooth drops from a bull elephant in South Karana. As with most of these quests, having a class with track will really speed things up. But just kill as many elephants and lions and wolves you can find to keep the bull elephants spawning regularly. For me the drop rate was not great - probably less than 10%. That being said, you'll be spending plenty of time in South Karana going after Grizzleknot and Centaur Chargers so you'll probably get a tooth while camping the others if you keep clearing out elephants you see.
aqua goblin tidal lords spawn all over Dagnor's Cauldron. You can hunt the four goblins at the camp at location 5 on the map, but they don't always spawn and the camp has a six minute respawn. You should also kill roaming goblins - particularly any in the water - while hunting at the camp. If you have access to track, the better way is to zone in, scour the zone with track for all the tidal lords, then hop to another instance like D1-D4 and repeat. I managed to get 3 shells after about ~30 tidal lords - so seems to be about a 10% drop rate. Fishbone earring from Hadden will help with this - and is pretty much a necessity for the Kedge Keep portion of these quests. So if you can go grab one before coming here.

Slot: CHEST
AC: 19
SV DISEASE: +5 SV MAGIC: +5 SV POISON: +5
WT: 6.0 Size: LARGE
Class: SHM
Race: ALL
Focus Effect: Extended Enhancement II
- Banded Mail
- Crushed Dufrenite
- Grizzleknot Bark (Grizzleknot, Southern Karana) (lvl 28)
- Lancer Swordfish Fin (A Lancer Swordfish lvl28-lvl32; A Piercer Swordfish lvl35-lvl37; An impaler swordfish lvl39) Kedge Keep
Grizzleknot is a rare spawn in South Karana. He paths from the Treants in the NE corner, down past the Hermit's House in the SE corner of the zone. A good way to spawn Grizzleknot is stand around 567, 783 and kill anything that paths by. Using this method I was able to spawn two Grizzleknots in a little over an hour.
The Lancer Swordfish Fin can drop from any of the swordfish, and the very first room is filled with nothing but swordfish that respawn after 6 minutes or so. I was able to single pull each one and solo them all at level 27. I did three spawns worth of swordfish and got the fin once. Apart from needing to get a fishbone earring from Hadden (or maintain Enduring Breath, which is annoying) this part of the quest is pretty easy.
Helm

Slot: HEAD
AC: 12
WIS: +5
WT: 3.5 Size: SMALL
Class: SHM
Race: BAR TRL OGR
- Banded Helm
- Ground Dufrenite
- Glacier Bear Pelt (A Glacier Bear, caves in Everfrost Peaks) (lvl27)
- Ogreskin Chamois (A lizard page lvl23-25 Cazic Thule)
A Glacier Bear is found in the Everfrost cave that can be reached by dropping down into the frozen lake in one of the openings (-850, -1480
, 20, -4500
1375, -4600
) and swimming down to the end of the West fork. You shouldn't need underwater breathing unless you have no swimming skill whatsoever as you can just swim along the top until you get to the portion where the opening actually is. The bear spawns near the 3way fork towards Sulon McMoor and is on an 6-8 hour spawn cycle with 2 Iced Bone Skeletons as its place holder. Both the bear and the skeletons patrol the entire cave when they spawn. A good strategy for finding him is to simply sit in the back of the cave and cast Sense Animal; if he is there, you will target him. He is level 27-30, is immune to frost damage and does hit you for about 40-50 damage, but is easily soloable by a 31; just Root, Dot, repeat. Look out for Lich of Miragul, a level 45 necromancer. He has a huge agro range and can outrun sow.
a lizard page can be found in the throneroom as a fairly frequent spawn. Find a throneroom group and you'll see him a number of times. Seems to drop every time. If attempting to get this mob solo, pages can also frequent the maze. Buff endure magic, as he will try nuke you with cleric nukes. Just pull to the courtyard or zone line and kill, being sure to bash when he tries to heal. You will have an easier time getting a solo lizard pull from the maze, as lizards path near the door to the courtyard. Lizard pages can also be found in the room directly above the alligator pit (the small pool of water south of location #4 on the main level).
Cloak

Slot: BACK
AC: 10
STA: +5
WT: 3.0 Size: LARGE
Class: SHM
Race: BAR TRL OGR
- Banded Cloak
- Powdered Dufrenite
- Driftwood Pipe (An isle goblin chieftan, Ocean of Tears) (lvl 26)
- Basalt Drake Scales (a basalt drake, Rathe Mountains) (lvl 23)
a basalt drake can be found in the area around the troll shrine (area 10 on the Rathe Mountains map). Just kill all roaming mobs in the middle of this area - drakes, basilisks and lizardmen. Just watch out for the troll guards if you're not on friendly terms.
An isle goblin chieftan (yes it is spelled that way in game) is on the goblin island, which is #9 on the Ocean of Tears map. The chieftain spawns in the hut located at (-846, -8550). There are a lot of goblins that spawn or roam near the chieftan's tent, combined with spawn time of about 2 minutes for most of the goblins and you can find yourself fighting an unending stream of goblins if you try to fight at the tent. Depending on your level you may be better off pulling them in groups to the shoreline to clear the area. At level 23 the area is pretty trivial, with most goblins being grey or green, and a fair number of blues.
The chieftan, and their place holder an isle goblin, are 24-26. They have a 6 minute spawn time, and it seems to be around 50% which will spawn. The pipe is a very rare drop from the chieftan (or its bugged), so this part may take you some time. After dozens of kills I still haven't seen it drop.
