Overview
Above the vast continents of Norrath, float lush green islands of
immense beauty. From a distance they appear serene and peaceful, but
are occupied by dangerous creatures of unspeakable
evil. The Tenebrous Tangle zone is the lowest level zone
within the Kingdom
of Sky and is vastly different than anything you've ever experienced in
Norrath.
One of the biggest differences you'll see is this zone isn't a solid
mass of land for you to run about freely. The content of this zone is
scattered about islands with very defined boundaries. The islands of
this zone are:
- Temple Grounds
- Vultak Scavenging Site
- Bixie Island
- Ravasect Incusrion Point
- Fear Tainted Isle
- Gazer Isle
- Hidden Refuge
- Breeding Grounds
Each of these islands will provide different challenges in regards
to soloing and/or grouping. Tenebrous Tangle is accessed through the
spires in Commonlands or Antonica. Transportation between these island
use a method similar to Deserts of Flame, except instead of carpets
there are clouds, and instead of being optional, well it's not.
Minimum level:
There is no minimum level for this zone, but it is recommended for
solo and groups between the levels of 50 and 60 depending on which
portion of the zone you are in.
Zones Inside Tenebrous Tangle:
-
Sanctum of the Scaleborn - Located on the northwest side of the
island of Temple Grounds, this dungeon is filled with Aviaks, Golems,
and plenty of dying. Most creatures here are mobile making traditional
camping neigh impossible. Your movement must be fluid, and speaking of
that, go to the bathroom before you get started in there. -
Temple of the Scale - Located on northern side of the island of
Temple Grounds, this dungeon is filled with Drakes. Lots and lots of
drakes. Designed with groups in mind, this zone actually has quite a
bit of raid content on its lower levels. Enter with caution.
Quest Starters:
-
Collection quests:
- Tenebrous Tangle Eye
provides the ability to work on numerous collection quests. You
should be able to start and complete them by examining the glowing "?"
symbols found on the
ground. Check out the href="http://eq2.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&file=index&func=display&ceid=132&meid=183">Ten
Ton Hammer Collection Guide for more info on collection quests in
general.

A Meeting with Grumglub:
This quest is begun by
talking to Jabber Longwind next to the spires from Norrath. He will ask
you to speak with Grumglub who is located behind a pillar just outside
the gate (55, 213). He will ask you to collect jumpers (frogs) that are
along the banks of the river. Completing this taste will allow you to
begin the "Tasty Basket" quests. -
Tasty Basket: A
number of wicker baskets spawn along the
river near the waterfall on the island of Temple Grounds. These baskets
provide quests to kill tangleflies, swoop serpents, and deadly
bloodblooms. -
Draco Mortuus Vos Liberatio
: Note - The reports I've read of
this, is it requires a high level crafting ability. This quest is
started by
talking to Sinephobis on Fear Tainted Island (-103, 870) and requires
the Thulian language be done from Feerott. It will first
require you to collect the following bones which spawn randomly on the
island and zone indicated: - A large Dragon Skull - Tenebrous Tangle - Isle of Ravasect
- A set of Dragon Ribs - Bonemire - Halls of Fate Isle
- A large Dragon-Bone Tail - Bonemire - Carcotoxic Stain
- A set of Dragon Limbs - Bonemire - Drednever Crash Site
- A set of Dragon-Bone Wings - Shattered Weir Isle
- After this has been completed you will need to collect T7
rares of: Blue-Silver Sheet (mined), Perfect Osseus Lumber (from wood),
Perfectly Cut Purple Geode (also mined), Strip of Supple Leather
(trapping). You will need to take these items to the forge in the
Sanctum of the Scaleborn for the combine. After this you will be sent
to Ravasect Isle to kill a level 70 ^^^. After beating him and
getting your quest update you will return to Sinephobis. You will
need to place 3 rods in 6 minutes. One on Gazer Isle, Fear
Tainted Isle, and Bixie Isle. That isn't a lot of time so have
fun. After returning to Sinephobis he will spawn the Spririt of
Do'Ellin who is a level 70 ^^^. Sounds like a ton of work for a
non Heritage quest but the reward is a nice waist item that has an
added damage to offensive spells and provides a nice +20 wis/int.

Lore and Legend Quests Involving Tenebrous Tangle:
-
Drakota: This quest
begins by examining the stone bench on
Temple Grounds island (-20, 174). You will receive a book which needs
to be read to receive your quest. -
Droag: This quest
begins by examining the stone bench on
Temple Grounds island (104, 14) near the Temple of Scale. You will
receive a book which needs to be read to receive your quest.
Soloing Opportunities:
Around level 50-55:
- You'll be hunting around the
very crowded zone near the spires. You will kill enough Tangleflies,
Swoop Serpents, and Deadly Bloodblooms to make yourself sick but it'll
bring forth the experience. The island of Breeding Grounds is a good
spot but you'll have difficulty getting past the creatures swarming
around the cloud transports
Around level 55-60:
- You'll be able to hunt some
of the higher Aviaks on the Temple Grounds and some of the bugs on
Ravvasect Incursion Point but as you get higher you'll either start
making your way into Barren Sky or grouping up for the rest of the
Tenebrous Tangle content.
Grouping Opportunities
Around level 50-55:
- With a group, you won't
find too much in the early 50's easily killable. Your best be
will probably be to clean out the higher level solo content much
quicker. There are few if any heroic creatures on the Temple
Grounds but the 57ish Aviaks should provide a decent challenge (and by
challenge I mean you're going to have to kill them to get to the cloud
transports anyways)..
style="font-weight: normal;">Around level 55-60 style="font-weight: normal;">:
- If you have a group in the
upper 50's and haven't done the Sanctorium of Scaleborn what are you
waiting for? Go! Other than that there is Fear Tainted Isle and
for those who are looking for a large challenge Bixie Island.
Imagine the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee, but mutated, and really style="font-style: italic;">really angry.
