PK count removal quest walkthrough

With this quest you can reset the PK counter, but for us dwarves it matters for another reason: when the imp is summoned all the exp goes to it and the level of our char does not grow, so we can spoil endlessly in one location, on the one mob we need, without outlevelling it. Every spoiler should have an imp. The imp is fed with wolf food, it holds about 400 units of food, and if the food runs out the system chat will tell you. Remember one more thing: the imp may stay anywhere in the location, it will block the experience all the same, so there is no point in dragging it along: we come to the location, find a quiet spot, summon the imp there and order it to stay. And yes, the imp blocks not only exp but SP as well.

Take the quest from Black Judge.
Now about the quest itself: it can be taken at any level except 80 (if you are 80 and need to reset the PK counter, switch to a sub and do the quest on the sub; there is only one rule here: until the quest is handed in you must not change the sub, or the quest is cancelled and the collar disappears). The quest is taken from the NPC Black Judge, there are three of them: one stands in the Wasteland (TP from Gludin) behind the traders' wagons by the rock, the second in Hardin's Private Academy on the stones next to the TP, and the third by the windmill near Floran Village, if you run from the side of the Plains of Dion. You can turn to any of them; depending on the level of the char you are sent running around different locations, and it is easiest to do the quest at levels 42+, where everything is compact. The only requirement for getting the quest is at least one PK on the char (which is logical: what is there to reset if there are no PKs).
The Black Judge sends us to the Ivory Tower, to the third floor, to the NPC Joan, and she in turn sends us to the Sea of Spores (TP from Oren) to knock three items out of the Trisalim Tarantula mob. We knock them out and return to Joan; she takes the items and abruptly loses her memory, sincerely not understanding why we are hanging around her. "Oh, enough, my head hurts, get off my back."
Katari wants Ratman Scavenger's Skull ×10 from Scavenger Wererat. Piotur wants Turek War Hound's Tail ×10 from Turek War Hound. Casian wants Tyrant Kingpin's Heart from Tyrant Kingpin. Joan wants Trisalim Tarantula's Venom Sac ×3 from Trisalim Tarantula.
Talk to Black Judge again. You receive: Manual of manacles.
We return to the Black Judge, and she sends us to the blacksmith Pushkin in the smithy of Giran. We have to bring him these resources: Blacksmith's Frame, 1 piece; Adamantite Nugget, 2 pieces; Steel, 5 pieces; Cokes, 10 pieces; Silver Nugget, 10 pieces.
Giran Castle Town. Find Blacksmith Pushkin in the smithy.
Pushkin quickly crafts us the blank of the collar; we carry it to the judge and she changes it for the finished collar. That is it, we can summon the imp.
Return to Black Judge to complete the quest.
Depending on how many PKs we need to take off the counter, we level the imp several levels. For each level up of the imp from 1 to 10 PKs are written off (by other accounts, from 1 to 20), but if you somehow level up yourself in the meantime, only 1–2 PKs are written off. As soon as the imp is levelled, we hand the quest in to the judge.

Tips

Lately people on many forums complain that strictly 1 PK is written off per pet level; well, I do not know, I have not run into that. If you handed the imp in and still have at least one PK on the counter, the Black Judge will ask whether you want to go and atone for your sins again or stop there. In the first case you get a ready-to-use collar again, in the second the quest ends.
To use the collar again another time, we come up to the Black Judge once more with the collar in the inventory, run to Joan in the Ivory Tower again, beat the mobs, go to Joan and to the judge. After that she gives you the imp at once. As you understand, spoilers need not hand the quest in at all, they just keep using the imp for their own needs.
