Keys of Horror

Intro

This is a custom set of Quests for IxiQuest rewarding an ever improving Charm/Range/Power Source item!

I strongly advise to go and download the Maps before starting the quest line as the majority of mobs you need are marked on these maps.

• Head to Befallen and just inside the door you will see Meeks
  • 
    
  • He will offer the task Three Keys of Befallen

Run from the Hub > Nektulos Forest > Lavastorm Mountains > Temple of Solusek Ro. Just inside you will find some red imps named a ward of ro. They have a 25% chance of dropping Ashroot and only have a 10 minute 40 second respawn. I got two on my first kill.
