Gates of Discord

Progression

There are some shortcuts available for the progression in Gates of Discord.

Besides those, the regular progression applies: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/eq:Gates_of_Discord_Overview

Progression Shortcuts

Smith Rondo Event and Access to Kod'Taz

Access to Qvic, Prayer Grounds of Calling

If you prefer to spend no or minimal time with the Ikkinz trials, here are two shortcuts variants:

Once in possession of the "Sliver of the High Temple" hand it to Tublik Narwethar (he will hand it back). 

If you prefer to skip Uqua, you can buy the "Fragment of the High Temple" from Adrienne in Plane of Knowledge for 4 Tokens of Legendary Might.

Once in possession of both items, you can zone into Qvic from within Kod'Taz. After that you can talk to Madronoa for direct access to Qvic from Natimbi.

Breakdown in Communications

You can acquire the Dirty Green Gemstone from Adrienne for 3 Tokens of Legendary Might. (Make sure you get the correct one for your class.)

L’diava Rexxen in Abysmal Sea accepts you handing in Xounii’s Journal Page 1 without being flagged for it. This means you need to do step 1 and then can jump to step 114 at http://www.bonzz.com/bic.htm.

Tradeskills

Tradeskills are required for Progression in Gates of Discord.

Blacksmithing and Tailoring 241 are required to make the Abysmal Armor. (241 can also be reached with a skill of 210 and a 15% skill modifier item, such as the gloves from blob 1 in VT.) However, Meldstones and the crafted items are tradable. Thus, you can ask other players to do the combines for you.

Teleports

There are various cross-zone and in-zone teleports available, some of which have to be unlocked.

Plane of Knowledge

Ella the Wolf offers teleports to:

Chuck offeres teleports to:

Kod Taz

Ghost of Uqua and Ghost of the Primals can send you back to Lucifer.

Ghost of Aganetti, at zone line to Intuk'Ta, offers teleport to:

Unlocking Level 67

Unlocking level 67 requires two steps.

Soul Essence of Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk

Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk is immune to melee damage and spell damage. He can be damage by pets, irresistable attacks and bane weapons. He casts Wanton Destruction, an AoE curse with a mana drain over time. This should be cured either with two casts of Radiant Cure or a single cast of Remove Greater Curse. E.g. by adding the following line to your E3, and replace "Lisa" with name of your character you want to have cured.

Cure=Remove Greater Curse/Lisa/CheckFor|Wanton Destruction

If you cannot defeat Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk in an instance of mode Normal (which corresponds to 12 level 66 characters), you may want to team up with someone and to defeat him and gain access to Tacvi. Then gear up in Tacvi, gather more bane weapons from Qvic and come back to Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk afterwards.
