RESTRICTION: LEVEL 10+

The Story So Far...

  As an axe user, you have worked hard, assembled all the parts, and now have a Silifi of Crimson Stars (SoCS.)  Now that you have this nice weapon, it is time to start turbo-charging it so it can do some real damage!!

Step 0: Preparation

• All Magic Protections

• Banes on Shield for Slashing, Piercing, and Bludgeoning

• Recommended party size based on level (And having good magical elemental protections):

  • Levels 10-15: 6-7 people and a higher level to debuff Lich Lords, etc.

  • Levels 15-20: 6-7 people

  • Levels 20-25: 3-4 people

  • Levels 25-30: 2-3 people

  • Levels 30+ Solo, but be careful!

Step 1: Getting There

  The Ruby Mahwan is located deep in the Grievous Vault (25.8s, 27.3e).  The best way to get there (from Arwic) is to take the Abandoned Mines (Subway) and use the Samsur exit portal.  Once in Samsur, head over to the Yushad Ridge Cottages portal, located at 0.8s, 27.3e.  Take this portal and then run south to the dungeon.  I recommend buffing for the run before leaving the Cottages area.

Step 2: The Lever

  Now that you are in the dungeon, buff up and get ready for some fun.  Here are the directions to the lever you will need to pull to gain access to the monster carrying the ruby:

1. Jump down

2. Go West

3. Jump down

4. Go East

5. Jump Down

6. Go North

7. Head up ramp

  Once you are here, you will need to locate a lever that is accessible when you jump down onto a ledge.  Do not push the lever as yet, as things will go quickly from this point on.

Step 3: Getting the Ruby

  Now that you are in place.  Have the rest of your party buff up (and buff up yourself of course) and get them into position.  They will need to jump down from the lever area, go to the north and down the passageway behind the portal to a locked door.  This door is opened by the lever.  When everyone is ready, pull the lever and quickly catch up with them before the door closes, or you won't be able to get the ruby.

  Inside this room, you will find a Greater Mu-Miyah, who holds the ruby in his cold, dead hands.  Kill him and get yours.  Keep killing him until everyone gets their ruby, and then recall out or take the surface portal.
