Path of the Dark Wizard

Path of the Dark Wizard is a one-time, solo quest in Lineage 2 BoHPTS for characters of level 18+. It starts with Varika in Altar of Rites.

Shilen is the mother of the dark arts. To become a Dark Wizard, one must prove capable of controlling the spirits with her power.

Path of the Dark Wizard walkthrough

The quest for the first profession for the Phantom Summoner and the Spellhowler: Path to a Dark Wizard (Dark Wizard, then Spellhowler or Phantom Summoner). The principle of this quest is simple: you have to collect four seeds and bring them to Varika. The first seed she gives us herself; the other three we get from different NPCs after doing their tasks.

  1. Altar of Rites. Take the quest from Witch Varika. You receive: Seed of Despair.

    The quest is taken at level 19 at the Altar of Rites from Varika: teleport to the Neutral Zone from the dark or the light elven village and run towards the necropolises (I was a bit slow here, running such a long way). There is no need to teleport to the Neutral Zone: we teleport to the Spider Nest (also from the dark elven village) and run to the Altar.

  2. Talk to Witch Arkenia. You receive: Hub Scent.

    After taking the quest talk to Arkenia (in the same place: this NPC gives her own task for finding one of the seeds). The nastiest thing in this quest is that nowhere is it written or recorded what, how many and out of whom has to be knocked, except at the moment when you are given the task. Remember that in each task three items have to be knocked out, and in the School of Dark Arts two items, but even when you knock them out you will not hear the sound that the task is completed, so watch the quest inventory: as soon as all the items are knocked out, you can go and hand that task in. Once I was slow, for some reason deciding that three had to be knocked out in the School too, and pecked at the mobs there for a whole hour, all because there was no cherished "ding-ding" when the last item drops.

Seed of Horror

  1. School of Dark Arts. Talk to Annika. You receive: Candle.

    Next we look for Annika next to the School of Dark Arts.

  2. Hunt Skeleton Hunter (lv. 12), Skeleton Hunter Archer (lv. 13), Misery Skeleton (lv. 14) until you have: Knee Bone ×2.

    We set off to farm Skeleton Hunter and Skeleton Hunter Archer right here, in the School of Dark Arts: we go down the stairs two floors, the skeletons stand there, and knock out two items Knee Bone.

  3. Return to Annika. Hand over: Knee Bone ×2. You receive: Seed of Horror.

    We give them to Annika and get the Seed of Horror.

Seed of Anger

  1. Undine Waterfall. Talk to Charkeren. You receive: Lucky Key.

    Now we look for Charkeren in the Swampland marsh by the waterfall. This is exactly the place where it is easier to teleport to the Neutral Zone, and from there across the dark bridge you come straight to the waterfall and to the NPC; if you run through the Swampland, you will have to push through the mobs.

  2. Swampland (teleport from Dark Elf Village). Hunt Marsh Zombie (lv. 13) until you have: Family's Remains ×3.

    We talk and go to beat Marsh Zombie until we get three items Family's Remains. You can find the zombies on the side of the Swampland opposite the waterfall, that is, at the teleport point from the dark elven village to the Swampland. Only Marsh Zombie has to be beaten; the items do not drop from Marsh Zombie Lord.

  3. Undine Waterfall. Return to Charkeren. Hand over: Family's Remains ×3. You receive: Seed of Anger.

    We give the items we knocked out to Charkeren (at this point I constantly forget to hand the items in to the NPC) and get the Seed of Anger.

Seed of Lunacy

  1. Ruins of Agony (teleport from Town of Gludio). Hunt Skeleton Scout (lv. 19) until you have: Heart of Lunacy ×3.

    We teleport to the Ruins of Agony (from Gludio), look for the mob Skeleton Scout and knock out three pieces of Heart of Lunacy. In the C4 chronicles there is no teleport to the Ruins of Agony, so you will have to run on your own feet, but it is not far, and the mobs are right by the road on the hill.

  2. Altar of Rites. Return to Witch Arkenia. Hand over: Heart of Lunacy ×3. You receive: Seed of Lunacy.

    The items we carry to Arkenia at the Altar of Rites and get the Seed of Lunacy.

Final step

  1. Return to Witch Varika. You receive: Dark Jewel.

    All the seeds we give to Varika and get the mark Jewel of Darkness.

  2. Town of Gludio. Find Grand Master Tobias in the Dark Elven Guild to complete the quest. Hand over: Dark Jewel.

    The mark we hand in to Grand Master Tobias in the guild of the dark mages in Gludio and change the profession to Dark Wizard. As soon as you level up to 35, the Phantom Summoner go to do the quests for the second profession: Trial of the Scholar, Testimony of Fate and Test of the Summoner. The Spellhowler have quests of their own: Trial of the Scholar, Testimony of Fate and Test of Magus.
