These
are two quests that must be completed one before the other. You
might have done "The Dusty Blue Stone" in your level 4-10 days. style="">

"Restoring Ghoulbane" is a level 30+ quest.

Note that you'll need Nektropos Castle access, href="http://eq2.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=391">Ruins
of Varsoon (back door) and href="http://eq2.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=390">Chamber
of Immortality access eventually, and may want to run the quest concurrently with the Manastone and Glowing Black Stone Heritage Quests, as all these require killing Varsoon.

• Talk to Vida Sweeps in Nettleville
  Hovel to obtain the quest. Visit The Baubleshire and talk to
  Tawli Whiskwind in Baubleshire. She will give you a broom.

• Go back to Vida and she will give you
  the Dusty Blue Stone.

• Examine the stone and you will be
  given the quest.

• Go to Greystone
  Yard and talk to Gruffin Goldtooth.

• Head to
  Thundering Steppes and mine 40 rock samples. You only get credit from
  samples mined from Windswept Stones. Stonecrest Ore will not give you
  credit. You need 90 skill in mining to obtain the samples. (You can get
  to 20 in Oakmyst Forest and to 90 in Antonica.)

• Once you have your rock samples head
  back to Greystone yard and talk to Gruffin again. He will tell you to
  seek out a mage who understand minerals.

• Head to South
  Qeynos, enter the mage tower and use the red portal to visit Aristride
  Calais. He will ask for the stone and send you to Thundermist Village
  in Thundering Steppes. The village is somewhat hard to find. Follow the
  main road from Antonica into Thundering Steppes. It will eventually
  make an "s" turn. You will see some wagons, etc., barricaded up to your
  left. That is the entrance to the village.

• Talk to Olden Highguard in Thundermist
  Village and he will send you back to Aristride Calais.

• Aristride Calais will send you to find
  a priest.

• Head to the
  Temple of Life in North Qeynos and talk to Toranim Skyblade. Toranim
  will send you to StormHold to kill 29 ghouls. You don't actually need
  to kill ghouls. I killed Defiled Sentries and it worked just fine.

• Head back to
  Toranim and you will be given two choices. You can end the quest, which
  I did not do, or you can continue on. If you continue on, you will
  receive the Restoring Ghoulbane quest.

• A Key to the
  Past Quest. You are asked to complete the
  access quest for Tomb of Valor.
  • Head to the Library in Stormhold.
    You may require a group depending on your level. The mobs were blue
    (group 2up arrow) mobs to a level 25.

  • Talk to the Librarian and he will
    give you the access quest.

  • Kill Defiled Squires until you
    receive all three pages that the Librarian has asked for.

  • Return to the Librarian.

  • Kill Defiled Knights until you
    receive two more pages. [Thanks to P.Calvert]

  • Return to the Librarian.

  • Head to the chessboard and Kill
    Lord Andros. He is a rare spawn so you may need to kill the priest
    placeholders and wait. He is a level 20 group mob with two guards.

  • Head towards the spiral staircase
    and into the barracks. Guard Captain Hess is another rare spawn who
    spawns at the very back of this room. You need to kill him. He also has
    two guards.

  • Head down the spiral staircase to
    level 2 and into the Atrium. Go South, and you will find a room with
    Defiled Cruasder(s), A Locked Strongbox and hidden in on the right two
    Zombie Handmaidens. Kill the Handmaidens to finish this part of the
    quest.

  • Head back to the Librarian who
    will tell you to go find a key. Why didn't he tell you all this in the
    first place? =)

  • Head to the entrance of StormHold
    and look by the statue beside Sir Valinayle for a key. Grab the key and
    you have access to Tomb of Valor.

  • Tomb of Valor
    
    
    • ToV is an instanced zone. You
      can enter it once every 8 hours if you fail the mission or once per
      week if you succeed.

    • You need a minimum of three
      people to enter the zone.

    • Get your ToV group and enter
      the zone. Do NOT touch anything. Touching the coffins, etc. spawns
      mobs.

    • The sword should be on the
      wall to your left as you enter the zone. Go and grab the sword. Finish
      the instance or not as you wish.
      • Head back to
        Toranim Skyblade in the Temple of Life and get the Weakened Ghoulblade.
        

      • Reward:
        Weakened Ghoulbane: Primary Slot, One-Handed, Skill 160-190, Damage
        9-27, Delay 1, Health +24, Wisdom +1, Power +24, Strength +5, LORE, NO
        TRADE.
        • Now to get the final
          sword!!!

        • Head to Crypt of
          Betraya. The mob you need is the "Spectre of Ire". It will spawn in any
          of the ire minion alcoves. A tracker to help you would be nifty for
          this part. A 27th level or 28th level group should have no problem with
          him.

        • Head to Ruins of
          Varsoon and fight to the Golem Creation Room. You should be in a room
          with skeletons and Golems. There should be a mold here that you can
          click to get a quest. If there isn't, you are not in the right room.
          The mob is called "The Creator". Keep clearing the room until he pops.
          He spawns in the middle group of skeletons.

        • Head to Cauldron
          Hollow and bring friends. I have not done this part yet, but Throgg
          of the Innothule Server posted a bit about it. In his own words: "I've
          never been to Cauldron Hollow, so this is heresay, but heregoes!
          Youneed to get a raid together.. a rather large raid... I'm told 4
          fullgroups of lvl 32+ is REQUIRED. so pack a lunch and bring friends
          forthis one. Not sure what his name is, but he's the last boss of
          thatzone."  Kebia's note:  The
          Descendent of Torig is the mob's name, and he spawns after your raid
          has killed many -- perhaps all -- of the other mobs in the zone. Many
          mobs in the zone are around level 31-34 and quite a few are ^^^ raid
          mobs themselves. As for the boss, he and his 3 minions are ALL
          level 34 ^^^. We had a raid of 3 full groups and our highest level
          player was a 44, and the lowest was a 32. The main tank was a 39
          Berserker.  We had 3 templars, an inquisitor, and a mystic in the
          raid. DPS came from 2 monks, 2 wizards, a warlock, ranger, and an
          assassin IIRC.  It was still a VERY hard fight to defeat the
          vampire. And in the end it was found that the level 32 player had not
          gotten quest credit, although the level 35s had.  Watch that level
          spread folks!

        • You are then sent back
          to talk to Toranim Skyblade in North Qeynos for your final task to
          defeat Lord Everling. You must have Nektropos Castle access (A Calling
          in the Forest Quest) for this part.

        • Head for Nektropos
          Castle off of Nektulos Forest. You must go in quite a ways, and fight
          your way through. This part of your Ghoulbane quest is a miniquest in
          and of itself. To reach Malthus Everling you must find and defeat his
          daughters to unlock the way to his lair in the basement. The daughters
          have rooms which have various triggers for spawning them. At Deirdre's
          room there is a raid level mob (level 45 ^^^) stuck on the spiral
          staircase. It cannot move but hits hard. Have your mystic (if
          you have one) group ward just before running by this mob. Once you have
          the daughters' lockets you have to find the way down through yet more
          dangerous areas. Watch for ambushes, doll spawns, and lots of adds.
          Your goal is to reach and kill Lord Everling.
        • Final Reward: Ghoulbane:
          Primary Slot, One-Handed, Skill 160-200, Damage 11-34, Delay 1, Health
          +28, Wisdom +5, Power +28, Strength +9, LORE, NO TRADE.
