This is Dae's guide to getting the Coldain Military Wristguard (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/item.html?item=4839)!
This is a nice little item to have during the hellish 50's. I kept it in my 'ole rucksack for kiting back in the day 'cause it added some nice damage. It loses some effectiveness on dots above 60 as the following information illustrates:
1: Increase Spell Damage by 20%
2: Limit: Max Level(60) (lose 10% per level over cap)
3: Limit: Spell Type(Detrimental only)
4: Limit: Min Duration(24.00 sec)
5: Limit: Effect(Hitpoints allowed)
6: Limit: Combat Skills Not Allowed
By the time you get to those levels though you can probably get something to replace it. Really easy quest. It looks long but it will take you maybe an hour or an hour and a half. I heard about this quest long ago from the Necro Index I think, but seeing as that is gone I have tried to reproduce it here using my own experiences. Cheers to whoever posted about the quest on the other board, I do not remember who it was.
STEP 1: Make a cute little halfling Warrior with RALLOS ZEK deity. It is very important that he have a cool name and a great facial hair/hairstyle combo. Personally, I like the mutton chops. Load him up with about 5 invis potions and run him over to Crystal Caverns in EW. Park just inside ZL and log main toon.
STEP 2: Log main and slaughter greenie orcs in CC until a Bottle of Karsin Acid drops. It is no drop so quickly relog your mini me, invis up with a potion and loot the acid with the halfling. Suicide on nearest cliff or mob. (faster than running back).
STEP 3: Take the acid to Thurgadin and find Erdarf in the bar near the cleric guild. Give the bottle to him and recieve the Gem of Persuasion. (You actually assasinate the poor bastard with the acid and hoark the gem from him [teehee]). Suicide on nearest guard.
STEP 4: Get a Levi and take the Gem to Kael Drakkel. You won't be KOS don't worry. Find the giant wolf tamer underneath the clear ice bridge that leads to the kings room. Hand him the Gem...he'll refuse it the first time so hand it in again. You will recieve the Harness of Control. Commit Hara Kiri or attack nearest giant (suicide).
STEP 5: Grab a beer. You're doing well and hey, you deserve it.
STEP 6: Park your main toon outside of the entrance to the SOUTHEAST cave system in Great Divide. Buff up. Stay a good distance away but make sure you can clearly see the cave entrance and immediate area. /camp and bring your wee man back in.
STEP 7: This is the fun part. Take the Harness to the Shardwurm Broodmother and lasso that biatch. Thats right, your lvl 1 badass with the cool facial hair is gonna use his invis potions and sneaky ways to get into the shardwurm caves and throw the harness on the broodmother. I have found that yelling 'Yee Haw' while harnessing that baby really adds to the climax of this step, so feel free. You won't be KOS to the broodmother but you will be to the wurms and some see invis so hug walls and be careful. When you give the harness to her she gets pissed and starts marching toward SE Great Divide (where your main toon is parked). Tell the rest of the zone not to kill the Broodmother as she marches across the zone....she wont aggro if they dont. /camp and log main toon.
STEP 8: Damn you need another beer.
STEP 9: When you pop in with main toon you will notice Korf Brokenhammer chilling with his pet by the cave entrance. Be patient. The broodmother will march up to him and kill his pet. When she does this he will run south. Kill him he is around lvl 51 melee class and really easy. Drops the wristguard everytime.
Congratulations!
*IMPORTANT - Do not kill him before Broodmother attacks his pet and he starts to run. When she attacks it triggers the drop.
