Dragoon K'Naae (quest start & turn-in)

Notes & prerequisites

Adventure level 24+ required to obtain this quest.
If Dragoon K'Naae isn't up, someone may have killed him — respawn time is 5 minutes.
The reward is used as part of the Shadow Knight Epic Weapon quest They Have Searched an Age for a Dark Champion...

Steps

1. Collect ash owlbear meat
Kill ash owlbears and bring 30 pieces of their meat to Dragoon K'Naae. This is an auto-update, not a dropped item.
- Every owlbear with ash in its name works, except the Ancient Ash Owlbear named mob.
- If you accepted this quest before LU37, 60 pieces were required — delete and re-accept for the current 30-piece requirement.
- Ash owlbears
- Ash owlbear spawn area (east of Commonlands gate)
Zone: Nektulos Forest
2. Kill undead near Nektropos Castle
Kill 30 undead near Nektropos Castle in Gargoyle Gorge. Patchwork men, decaying flesh beings, rotting followers of Grelkor, and ghouls at Camp Leott all count.
- Gargoyle Gorge (near Nektropos Castle)
- Camp Leott (scavenging/ravenous ghouls)
Zone: Nektulos Forest
3. Fill the flask at Behemoth Pond
Dragoon K'Naae gives you a flask to fill with water at Behemoth Pond. You have a 9-minute timer to return the water after filling it.
- With updated griffon rides, fly from Darklight Wood griffon toward Commonlands, jump off in-flight over the diamond-shaped island (spacebar), land in the water, fill the flask, then fly back.
- Behemoth Pond
Zone: Nektulos Forest
4. Retrieve the stolen weapon
A weapon was dishonorably taken from K'Naae by Captain T'Sanne. Travel to the Citadel of Gul'thex and retrieve it.
- A group of 4 skeleton mobs in the courtyard may need to be killed repeatedly until Captain T'Sanne spawns — up to three waves.
- Wave respawn is 20 minutes if not instant. Each wave is 4 level 30 heroic skeletons.
- If a second group of skeletons spawns just after you kill the first, T'Sanne is on his way.
- Citadel of Gul'thex (Captain T'Sanne)
Zone: Citadel of Gul'thex
5. Survive the assassin ambush
Upon returning with the weapon, three assassins (28v) attack. Protect K'Naae by killing them, then speak with him to complete the quest.
- Avoid using AE spells or combat arts unless encounter-only — you can aggro or kill Dragoon K'Naae.
- If you kill K'Naae, he respawns in about 5 minutes on Live servers (20+ minutes on Origins).
- Dragoon K'Naae
Zone: Nektulos Forest

Tips

Ash owlbear meat is an auto-update — you do not need to loot dropped items.
Camp Leott ghouls (level 25–28) are easy to solo for the undead kill step.
Use griffon rides to speed up the Behemoth Pond water run — jump off over the pond island to avoid fall damage.
The Shiny Brass weapon reward is required for the Shadow Knight Epic Weapon questline.
