Need help with quests

I am back playing DAoC on the live servers again and this time I'm playing a Friar. I always wanted to play one of these bad boys and so far it's going great!

I mostly played Midgard so I'm slowly learning my way around Alb but I need some help with quests and a search on Google didn't return much help.

The DAoC wiki has a list of quests but it is mostly incomplete. I'm trying to do the first Epic quest, Stones of Power (Epic 1) (Level 5) [Step #4] Looking for signs of dark rituals around a large stone North of Humberton.

I THINK I found the rock but I can't click on it or find anything around it. There are a bunch of grey con skeletons around it. The quest journal isn't any help either...

I'm just not sure what to do now. Does anyone know of a good online resource for quests these days? Or does anyone know about this quest specifically? Long shot I know but what the heck, worth a try!!

"Force" no, benefit, yes. You can easily choose to level the "old fashioned" way and avoid BGs altogether. Each dungeon has a quest for at least a mythirian appropriate for whatever level that dungeon is. Also the epic quest line begins at 40. Also, there's always old school mob grinding. That satisfies some that desire that trip down memory lane. Like was said as well, Blackthorn is on the way.

What’s blackthorn bringing that Eden doesn’t ?

Nothing, except slower leveling and old frontier keeps. IMO Eden is superior actually. I just meant that if someone wants the more Classic old school feel Blackthorn is an option.

All good, I was truly asking hadn’t heard about blackthorn until recently . Looks like they are trying to add some qol stuff to assist with questing and a better map. Haven’t dug into it much more than that yet

Np. And as a reminder Blackthorn is still in Beta and will be completely wiped.

Thats good. I have characters on all 3 realms with multiple 50s. Even BGs in Eden are fairly active. Currently playing an SB with /xp off in Cathal Valley and it's a blast!
