I did a write up on it here...
Gneville's Phylactery Writeup (http://www.cannedcode.com/everquest/downloads/phylactery.doc)

Getting the books is going to be the real PITA (pain in the a**), but once you do, the quest is damn simple...but that's all covered in the write up and i'm not up to reprinting it all here in detail unless begged to for some reason.

Here's the end result(s)...{NOTE - NO LVL RESTRICTIONS!}

Grand Robe of the Oracle (http://www.magelo.com/eq_item_info.html?num=55296)
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Slot: CHEST
AC: 20
STA: +18 INT: +20 HP: +100 MANA: +125
SV FIRE: +10 SV DISEASE: +10 SV COLD: +10 SV MAGIC: +10 SV POISON: +10
Effect: Flowing Thought IV (http://www.magelo.com/eq_spell_info.jsp?num=1301) (Worn)
WT: 2.0 Size: MEDIUM
Class: NEC WIZ MAG ENC
Race: ALL

...to do the Phylactery part you have to get all tradeskills near 200 (harder than Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl) to do the combines to create this. When you do, give the Phylactery to the assistant and tell him its a worthless PoS. He will grumble a give and give you back this instead...

Dark Phylactery (http://www.magelo.com/eq_item_info.html?num=55299)
NO DROP
Slot: RANGE
AC: 10
STR: -10 STA: -10 WIS: +10 INT: +10 HP: -50 MANA: +50
Effect: Regeneration (http://www.magelo.com/eq_spell_info.jsp?num=144) (Casting Time: Instant)
WT: 0.4 Size: TINY
Class: ALL
Race: ALL


...what more could a necro want?
Sure, the Regen spell doesn't stack with many other types of regen spells out there. But how often have you been solo'ing and wish you had an item of unlimited charges of regen to offset your current Lich spell? OMFG I love this. I don't recommend wearing it all the time unless the neg STA & HP is nothing to you, and you'd rather have the +10 INT (but if you're like me you'd rather have less INT and more STA / HP) .. but just pop it in a main inventory slot or RNG slot and instant right click it. Can be hit just like JBoots, don't even have to stand still to cast it.

OK. Now go, hunt those books, the prices on them grows by 1000pp an hour as more people find out about this quest. I was lucky, I did the debugging of it with the EQTC gang so I got mine kinda quick...before people were selling the books for over 40,000pp each.

Guess I'm gonna have to start lookin for these books.

What faction do you need for the robe? And you dont need tradeskills for the robe right, just the books?

I've heard reports of people having screwed up factions with the Oracle, but I'm pretty sure he's on an indpendent faction...ergo...unless you know you have crappy faction with him (ergo you've used him as a XP sponge in the past) already.


There is a raise faction quest with him, if you had screwed it up...but I never looked into it. But heard rumor that it's one of those stupid quests where you have to do it 100 times to balance one negative faction hit. So you might be in a world of hell if the Oracle is hateful to you.

I was indifferent to him when I did it, and he was happy to give me my robe.

No tradeskills required at all for the Robe portion of the quest. And for your alts <puke> there is a Tunic version for WIS casters. that is identical just swapping INT for WIS.

did not know if you were aware, yes you can get both, but you cannot combine both. from the info I have seen on magelo and Allakhazam there is no augment slot on this item... so you will need to find another aug3 item to combine the regenII aug with...

I would not wear the Dark Phylactery in a slot anyways, the -HP / -STA is terrifying to me.

I only pull it out of a bag and right click it and then rebag it when done. Therefore...I can have both.

big question for me is, is the dark phylactery clickable from inventory? because if it is... I just found my new insta click item. :D

This quest is one of my long term goals, even if I don't really want or need the items. just looks fun to do. well, this one and the signet of the arcane quest... many hours of tradeskilling lie ahead... <_<

Is it me, or is the link to the Gneville's Phylactery Writeup broken? When I click on the link it comes up as "The page cannot be found". Could someone please check the link or maybe copy and paste it in the body of this thread?

Looks like that link isn't working (the post is a few years old).

Here's a link to the quest write-up at Allakhazam's for now: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2652

I collected all the books and was going to save up for a Thurgadin chest piece MQ, but I heard that the Thurg dwarves now check your class before the hand-in. For example, if you are at the neco quest NPC and a cleric tries to turn in a robe, he'll say, "I have no need for anything from a cleric."

Has anyone experienced this?
