EverQuest II ยท Kingdom of Sky

The
Claymore

A chronological, waypoint-by-waypoint field guide to recovering the stolen Qeynos Claymore across the floating isles of the Overrealm.

Solo → Heroic → Raid Level 55–78 Starts: Tenebrous Tangle 25 quests ~120 steps

Before You Begin

The flagship heritage line of Kingdom of Sky - it starts solo on the docks of Tenebrous Tangle and ends in the raid halls of Deathtoll.

Do not betray before Quest 11. If you switch cities (Qeynos↔Freeport) after the first quest but before Learning from the Crystal, Murrar Shar / Tayil N'Velex will refuse to talk to you and the whole line stalls - a fix often requires re-betraying. Stay aligned until Q11 is done.

Gear & grouping check. Quests 1–5 are solo; the line turns Heroic at Q6 (group dungeons in the Sanctum and Palace) and escalates to raid at the end (Bonemire and the Deathtoll raid zone, slaying Tarinax the Destroyer). Solo players can clear Q1–5, then will need a group for the dungeons and a raid force for the finale.

  • The reward: completing the line grants +1000 The Order of Marr faction and your choice of one Qeynos heritage weapon - the Qeynos Claymore, Cutlass, Guard (shield), Kilij, Marr's Fist, or the Arm of Mithaniel / Erollisi.
