OJO a partir de la version 3.0.2 ya no existe la habilidad 'Venenos' para los Pícaros por tanto esa habilidad no se entrega al finalizar la mision

Comentario de 268711

Una pregunta cual es la ubicacion exacta de la llave en qee parte de la torre ?

Comentario de Kileeya

Esta misión parece necesaria para aprender los venenos con el pícaro.

Alrededor de la torre, encontraremos un par de Zángano Defias deforme; al que veamos, tendremos que robarle la Llave de la torre Defias.
El diario se encuentra dentro de un cofre arriba en la torre, junto a Klaven Mortoalerta, élite de nivel 23. Al realizar la misión, mi nivel de ganzúa era 90 y esto me ha permitido abrir el cofre sin problema. Subí a 90 en el aserradero de las arañas en Montañas Crestagranas, donde se realiza la misión Molino de Alther.
Al completar esta misión, La torre de Klaven, me ha otorgado la posibilidad de aprender venenos, el correspondiente por mi nivel.

Como información adicional, al realizar esta misión obtienes Toque de Zanzil, lo que por lo que he leído, parece que reduce la agilidad y los enemigos te pueden ver aunque estés en sigilo durante 7 días. Al completarla con Mathias, te recomienda hablar con Doc Mixilpixil, quien te dará la misión Toque de Zanzil para solucionar este problema. Entiendo que lo suyo, es hacerla cuanto antes.

Pretty easy quest, pickpocket the spikey hair undead for the key, stealth to the top of the tower and sap the elite, take the journal from the chest, and then run out or vanish (if you've learnt it already).

Comentario de token

If you have your distract ability already you can use that instead of sap'ing the elite. Worked fine for me. Did the whole quest and didn't use my weapons once.

Comentario de 11585

Pickpocket the Malformed Lev24 Defias guard for the key. He patrols around the tower and is often alone, just wait for opportunity.

Enter tower in stealth mode.
Up one level is a guard stationed in center of pathway. Try to sneak passed her by walking up on the railing to the right (wait for patroling guard to be away).

Even if you alert her, keep going to the right to next landing up. She will follow but you can easily kill her without alerting patrol guard. Stealth your way passed dual patrol on 3rd floor and make your way to top floor.

Circle around to the right, chest is on floor near desk. Sap the boss, the open chest - take book - make a hasty getaway. Or wait for the boss to walk away from the table, or as mentioned above use distract. Open the box and then restealth. You can jump to first floor and run out - hopefully no guards patrolling out front, or stealth out again.

Comentario de 11459

Would just like to add that you NEED to have to trained your lockpicking to 70, or you won't be able to open it. The key you get from pickpocketing won't do the trick.

This will probably save the confusion for rogues like myself that leveled in draenei areas to 20 and hadn't leveled up their lockpicking in Redridge yet.

Comentario de 22568

To do this quest at level 20, it takes timing. First if you try to pickpocket the Malformed Defias Drone, he will either see you and beat you down, or not give you time to pickpocket. After a while of patrolling he despawns. Quickly stealth into the tower and wait for him to respawn at the entrance of the tower. Before he has time to react, pickpocket the key. Stealth up to the boss without getting seen (yes its possible), and get behind the boss. Sap the boss and open the chest. After this I just jumped to the lowest level and sprinted out. Good luck.

Comentario de 17510

The key that you pickpocket appears in your keyring not in your bag -_-' i spent ages trying to pickpocket him unnecesarily

Comentario de mraverage

hehehe yeah you could do that or just go ask a high lvl friend to help ya out quick :)

Comentario de seanu

With the new patch Sap doesn't break stealth so just Sap then pickpocket the drone. Once you are inside stealth then just Sap the first guard on the ramp... wait for the patrolling guard next to her to patrol up the other ramp, then head up the opp. ramp and when you reach the next landing watch out for the two patrolling guards. Once past them just headed up to the top, go behind the elite and sap, then open the lock box to get the journal. Dont forget the poison that you get from the box lowers your stealth so you can move around as easy without being seen. Also if you have having trouble then if you read the journal then it clearly says that they bleed easly. So just Backstab, Sinister Strike, then Gouge and Rupture. Bleed them out. Dont be like me and aggro everyone on the way down. I died and had to go back up for the journal with the poison on me... it sucked. So i just took my Warlock and killed everyone.

Comentario de 69228

What lvl do u have to be to unlock box?? I couldn't at picklock 42.

Comentario de Cybersonix

You get poisoned with Touch of Zanzil https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/spell=9991
Cure it by continueing the quest chain or by a druid, shamy, pala or anti-poison with first aid.

Comentario de 65237

I just want to verify that it is fairly easy to pickpocket the key, stealth all the way up to the top of the tower, sap the elite, and open the chest. However, Touch of Zanzil seems to prevent stealth completely instead of just lowering it. I've never played a rogue before this week so I don't know if this effect was different before. I was trying to re-stealth but couldn't, so I jumped all the way down and sprinted out. It occurred to me that I could probably remove the poison with my anti-venom (made through first-aid), which was the case.

Comentario de 92935

OK, after u get the quest circle the tower until u see a spikey haired lvl 24 elite. go behind sap and pick him, easy enuff. now comes the hard part, go into the tower and up the first set of stairs. stop and look for a pat (should be a woman), get past her and go up the next set of stairs. there should be 2 pats that circle that room, wait til they go around and rush up the stairs (but don't unstealth) and sprint if u must but i wouldnt waste it. after u get into klaven's room its kinda smooth sailing from there. at lvl 20 u can basically go into the corner where the box is unstealth and pick it (but u need 70 lockpick).

aftter u pick it u cant stealth bcuz of the poison so when u do this either bring a stealthed druid or run for ur life (thats wat i did). now is when sprint might be handy to u, but it wisely cuz if the malformed guy catches u ur dead ( he hits for 200s-250s) run out and if u die just make sure its outside the tower and then ur good for this quest. find a pally/ druid in sentinal hill to cure u and go hand that quest in and get ur poisons (dont worry about the poison curing quest unless u wanna do it but ur gonna have to talk to him u just dont have to do the quest.

Comentario de 6032

As of 2.3 there are no elites involved anymore. Not even klaven. So just whack them all.

Comentario de royale

Completing this quest also awards you the ability to craft and train Poisons. You will learn Instant Poison upon turning in the quest, and can train future poisons at the rogue trainers.

You don't need to do any other quests in this chain if you don't want to.

Comentario de 40819

The chest in this tower is awesome for leveling up your lockpicking skill to 170. It can be used whether you've finished the quest or not... just use Lockpick instead of right-clicking. Keep in mind that it takes 3-5 seconds to repop, and it will give you the Touch of Zanzil debuff every time you open it. Happy hunting!

Comentario de 116220

does anyone know where to raise your skill level for lockpicking?

Comentario de 12938

Anti-Venom FTW. You can get rid of the poison with Anti-Venom, a first-aid skill. So either have some handy so you can use it right after you get the debuff, or find a friendly person who has some.

Comentario de 124579

What the .. 7 Days with poison!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comentario de Generaldraxus

Just a note: The Malformed Defias guard, despite appearing undead, is a humanoid. He can be sapped!!! When he stops by the fire, walk to him from behind spamming sap. After you get him sapped, you have all the time in the world to Pick Pocket him.

Comentario de 111622

Also note, the undead guard, hits VERY hard.

Normal hit on my 22 rogue for over 150.

Comentario de 132143

It's worth noting that an Ambush is an instant kill on the Defias patrollers and sentries.

Doesn't seem to work on Klaven, but he's a pushover anyway.

Oh, and if you're one of the few dwarven rogues, stoneform will remove the Touch of Zanzil poison.

Comentario de 142461

Klaven Mortwake is no longer an elite occuring with 2.4.0. patch, so it's right easy to solo him (did at level 21)

Comentario de 117919

He died very fast. Klaven that is, unfortunatly i just found out i need 70 lockpicking wich i dont have so >_<

omw to redridge then to train it :X

Comentario de Alikat

I'm definitely coming back later to kill the spiked guard. Imagine my surprise when, after my usual ambush+combos, I look up to be almost dead, then actually dead. I almost had him, too. He'll get his. Oh yes.

Tower guards do indeed seem to be one-shot killed by Ambush. That makes the quest all the more fun. I didn't have anti-venom, so just dropped to the door, hit evasion and sprint, and bolted out. The debuff hits subtlety specs especially hard. : /

Comentario de Desgardues

Easy quest, just use ambush on the guards inside and sap the spiky haired outside and your done. Did this on lvl 20 took about 15 min when i was in front of the tower.

Comentario de 99597

watch it as the moment u take the journal from the chest the poison afflicts you...you cannot stealth!so,u need to pickpocket the zombie for the key first(as u need to stealth in order to pickpocket someone) and then u can get in the tower and open the chest!

Comentario de 176373

it took me forever to find agent kearnen, but i found her in the front part of the tower in stealth next to a tree. then i went to the top floor and sapped the only guared on that floor then opened the chest but i guess the chest was trapped and i got injected by the "touch of zamzil" poison, so just in case this happens to you bring some anti-venom with you.

Comentario de kingluciuslucre

Ok A Note: Get the key first. I went and did the killing and chest part first and had to wait 7 days for the stupid poison to wear off so I could stealth and pick pocket the guys key.

Comentario de 131230

Just have done this quest as a 23 human rogue. First find the humanoid (don't confuse him with two undeads) behind the tower, sap him and steal the key. Enter the tower, start climbing the spiral ladder. Once you find a guard patrolling one of the levels in the tower catch a moment and walk behind her back. On the next level there will be two guards that are staring at the ladder and they will reveal you if you'll just walk in front of them: use your Distract ability to make them turn away and the way is clear. On the upper level you'll find a 23 level guard which is easy to be killed and a chest you were looking for. As mentioned above, you need to have 70 Lockpicking skill. After opening the chest, receiving the quest items and getting poisoned simply use your Sprint ability, fall down and run.

Or you can just cut out the f*cking guards and get to the chest as I did :P

Comentario de oldfool

As a level 20 rogue, I have found a way to avoid being poisoned. Be either level 22 or a night elf, that is, have vanish or the new shadowmeld.

As soon as the cast bar for the chest finishes hit your vanish/shadowmeld button. Voila! No poison. Much like spells cast after vanishing will not hit you.
Not sure if you can simply stealth instead of vanish/shadowmeld.

Anyway, makes the rest of your day a whole lot better :)

Comentario de 35052

Now that the poison quest is no longer around, what is an alternative to leveling our lockpicking? I am at 119/210 right now and don't know what to do...

Comentario de 257044

make sure you get the key before you enter the tower...my wife got stuck to were she had to be healed because she simply picked the lockbox before getting the key which makes pickpocketing the zombie for the key impossible (no stealth)

Comentario de 277748

Man, is there a way to get this recipie back? I deleted it a while back now thinking I won't need it, now that im 80, I am seeing more uses for it. What should I do?

Comentario de 277523

For those who are chain opening this box to level lock picking... You must drop the book out of your inventory every time, in order to open teh chest again.

Edit: Bring lock picking glyph with ya, it makes lock picking like a 1.5 second cast :P

Comentario de 300512

I found agent Kearnen but I dont get the option to talk to her. Does anyone know why is that?
Thanks already.

Comentario de Veradas

Ok, something is not right here....Having difficulty before getting the key as a lvl 25 rogue, I waited until I was lvl 29 after a few more tries. Now when I kill the targets their bodies do not glow for drops, therefore no loot. I abandoned the quest after learning that I had got the journal before I got the key (that malformed defias was a very difficult target to kill!), but still no drops! What the heck is going on?

Comentario de 292347

i finished the quest and i got the thistle tea, but i didnt get poisons! any help? it isnt in my skills tab, isnt in my spellbook, and i dont know where else to look

Comentario de cmancman

I guess I found the answer in the help section.. they removed the ability to make poisons, and instead you can just buy them now

Comentario de 158523

Ervery time i try doing this quest its fails im doing that you guys a saying but it wont work

Comentario de Blyth

As of patch 3 rogues no longer need to lean this skill as you can buy the poison made from any of the posion vendors pre made now.

Comentario de 12887

This quest is currently, officially bugged.
Wrote to a GM, because I could not open the chest, even though I have the key in my inventory and got a reply stating that, Blizzards development team is avare of the issue and it will be fixed asap.

Comentario de 338476

omg i didnt get the poison skill :<
is there a new q since the patch?
btw you can also just stoneform out of it if you're a dwarf :P

Comentario de 254037

This bothers me this is BoP and probably for rogues only. How are we supposed to get 160 cooking recepies. I'm missing 4 recipies out of 5, and 1 of them is this one and the other one is Dirge's stuff. That questlines takes hours to do...

Comentario de 246029

Dont make the same mistake as me, i went first for the chest on the top, got the poison so i couldnt stealth and pick pocket the other mob... had to log main to buy small venom sacks and send them to the rogue to make anti venom.... i found it the fastest way to cure the poison.

Comentario de Circuit

So what in the world is the key for if you have to lockpick the chest? The quest even says the reason for getting the key is to open the chest.

Comentario de 361328

I did it with 81 lockpicking.
It was orage.

Comentario de 392428

You have to pickpocket the Undead outside of the building, not the Humanion in the top of it, as i did for 30 min

Comentario de Beboshi

First aid: Anti-venom also works to remove the poison. Confirmed :)

Comentario de Thoric

If you're a dwarf rogue just use Stoneform.

Comentario de 449164

easy quest sap spiked head undead guy ,pickpocket,stealth to top , kill boss and loot chest must have 70 lock picking to open

Comentario de 449164

To remove the poison i used https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/item=2633 can buy on ah very cheap and worked first try on me requires lvl 22

Comentario de Hairband

My antivenom item crafted with First Aid did NOT work against Zanzil's poison. A druid cured it... then after you'll turn in the quest items to Mathias Shaw, you'll receive two follow up quests called "A Touch of Zanzil" to go to the basement of SI:7 and talk to the gnome NPC Doc Mixilpixil. Then he'll cure your poison.

Comentario de Silverline

This, like most quests to get new abilities for your characters, are no longer needed. You could easily skip this quest since Rogues no longer make their poisons and just buy it from a vendor. Along with this is the Paladins Sense Evil and The Druid's Flight Form. What I find funny, though, is how all the other druid abilities (Bear, Cat, and Cure Poison) Still require you to do the quests to obtain.

Comentario de 426436

Even if u are higher level ( i did it at lvl 37) the ant-venom still works.If u don't have the materials just go east to duskwood and kill some pigmy spiders until they drop small venom sac.

Comentario de 495099

I have just tried this quest and have looted the key from the drone outside - but when I get to the chest and open it there is nothing inside!

My lockpicking is high enough to open the chest but I'm getting nothing but the 7 day poison!

Comentario de 119405

How very damn painful, I've snuck up to the top of the tower, killed Klaven, even got a green robe out of him. GOt my level 90 lockpicking, got the key off the mutated gaurd. All is going well, open up the chest, got the debuff. Wait, what? No journal!

Everytime I try opening the chest there's nothing in thei, I just have the debuff reapplied to me. I tried logging out and in. Stil lthe same, and the only other theroy i can think of is that Klaven needs to be alive, but I can't sap him because of the debuff! Nooooooooooo!

Anyone else experience this?

Comentario de 496399

I have tried many times to complete this and still no luck. I get key and got to top and loot box and all i get is poison never the journal. Can someone help me here what am i doing wrong?

Comentario de SPF18

Quest currently broken for my Rogue. I've tried about 30 times. 110 LP, have the key. Honestly &*!@ing me off quite a bit.

Comentario de 414985

I am a level 26 rogue trying to do this quest and I can't get it done. I read the journal, PP the Malformed Drone, get the key, stealth up the tower, kill Klaven Mortwake and then loot the chest, and there's no loot... So I have to get my bro to get rid of the Touch of Zanzil.

Could anyone please help me?

Comentario de fluffy123

Ok, I really do not get this. I've tryed, lets see how many times? Atleast 50 and It's not in there how come! :P D:

Comentario de 287271

Glitch?
I just picked this quest up again after abandoning it. It's still yellow for me. But here's the kicker, I dropped it at 20 or so and now I'm 57, and its offering me 8000xp. So I guess, if you never did this and you want some quick xp pick it up.

Comentario de 479021

Am having same problem completing this quest.. just tried on a 27 rogues with lp skill 135/135 maxxed for lvl. I keep getting the debuff but not the journal. I already had the key. Have spent over 2 hrs opeing box and killing Klaven when he respawns. I 1st tried opening it after sapping him and got debuff but no loot in chest. Even went so far as to kill all mobs in the area and still can not get journal. Only thing I can think of is that prequst said something about s1:7 denying I even exist if caught. Maybe I'm not supposed to get seen while doing it. Server was shutting down for maintenace before I could ask GM about it..But is 1st thing on to do list after restart.

Comentario de 498720

I am having the same issues as to the chest not containing the journal....so i abandoned it .....i would like to try again ...what npc gave that quest?

Comentario de 500342

Jungle Remedy for the win. Did a couple of quests against Kurzen and got them, takes the poison right off. :D

Comentario de 294523

Cant get it on my rogue eighter, 100/100LP, have key, even SAP "boss" but no succes.

Also i did opened a ticket.

Comentario de 501204

tried this quest about 3 days ago, got the key by sapping the guy, pickpocketed him then stealthed all the way up and tried opening the chest; my toon picklocked, got poisoned, tried again same thing, verified i had the key and yes i did.

After maxing my lockpicking on it i opened a ticket, the gm replied the quest is bugged and sent me the journal to my mail.

i play in The Forgotten Coast incase its a server issue.

Comentario de Menjina

As of patch 3.3 this quest can not be completed the "normal" way. You will not be able to obtain https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/item=7908.

20 days are gone and still no fix. The whole rogue community is waiting.
A new rogue without the tea is not a real rogue :(

Temporary solution: Open a ticket and the gamemaster will send you the journal.

Comentario de 392010

Same here, I'm trying right now, I've gotten my lockpicking from 104-118 so far and no journal... Are we still supposed to be able to get it? Or did a patch change it?

*Edit* Typed this last night before my cat pulled the plug... I am currently waiting on a GM ticket to get my journal, thanks for the info!

*Edit* again... as I was doing this (as I am right now) to level my lockpicking, I thought of one thing... Good thing the Touch of Zanzil doesn't stack =]

Comentario de 510560

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Comentario de 64622

Since when does this quest scale?

I visited it once at 20ish to raise LP and then came back, now at 56, and it's offering a higher experience reward than before. To be exact, it is offering 8,450 experience before any modifiers.

With that said, the quest is still unable to be completed as the book does not appear in the chest.

Edit: I'll check back again at 70 and 80 to report on if it still is scaling then. I don't remember this quest ever doing such a thing in the past, but the last time I did it was at least 4 years ago.

Comentario de 515020

i did all this i read here and still couldn't get the klaven's mortwake's journal. Is this happening just to me or is there something wrong with the game?

Comentario de SolarStoned

well this quest is surely bugged....ive been trying with my rogue since 24....and im 40 now....and still no drop from the chest....i want that damn recipe and now people are saying the guy in ravenholdt does not sell it? wtf

Comentario de masterprogram

One of several "scaling" quests which grants more exp as you level up, instead of less.

For example, most quests are red at one point, turn orange, yellow, green and then eventually gray as you outlevel it, and slowly decreasing the amount of exp you earn. This quest starts out yellow, and remains that color no matter what level you are. As such, it grants a gradually increasing amount of exp depending on what level you turn it in which is seemingly based on the amount of exp a "typical" yellow quest at that level would give.

8460 exp @ level 51 with the 20% heirloom exp bonus
8820 exp @ level 52
9120 exp @ level 53

Comentario de sadalsuud

I put in a ticket and got a condensed "thanks for the notice, we'll look into it!" So after all this time nothing's really changed.

Comentario de 222146

So, really, what is the purpose of doing his quest? I've leveled Lockpicking to 115 here and still no https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/item=7908. I'm confused?

Comentario de 358805

you can send a message to blissard, and report that the chest is bugged. They will send you the journal in YOUR mail box!

Comentario de 261776

Definitely bugged... I have done this in the past and never had the issue getting the key...
Malformed Spikey was able to "detect" my stealth from 10yds and dropped me.

Recommend trying to rush in stealth and sap, pick pocket then bail to the rest of the quest..

Think I may have just been a bit too close.... I ran up behind while under stealth and sapped his undead skull... picked him and left

Comentario de Jay20016

As of Jan 27th, 2010... the quest is once again working. You're able to loot the journal from the chest in the tower finally...

Comentario de hostile

Quest is working fine as of now.

Don't forget, as mentioned previously:

Pick-pocket the level 24 spikey-haired undead guy and have 70 lock picking for the chest.

Comentario de Jamielee

The quest is still bugged, but I have completed the quest today: skill your lockpicking to 100. Then, pickpocket the undead outside the tower, and take the key. Enter in the tower, go up to the stairs and open the chest.
You can open the chest without the key, but do not do it, because when you have open it, the chest put on you a poison that make you impossible to turn in stealth, and so you can not pickpocket the undead for the key (that is a requisite for complete the quest).

Comentario de drdoom5081

Some other notes about this quest. There is a followup that will remove the poison if you're desperate or like cheap experience, and the cooking recipe from this quest is a cheaper way to get Chef de Cuisine than getting Dirge's Kicking Chimaerok Chops. That's one of the advantages to being a rogue.

I would save the Eau de Mixilpixil for later when you can come back here to skill to 170 lockpicking using this chest.

Comentario de 582272

In order to complete this quest all you have to do is pickpocket the patrolling guard with the spiky shoulder pad for the key and go to the top of the tower and open the chest. However, you don't use the key on the chest. You must have your lock picking skill up high enough to open it. The easiest place to do that is the ship South of Ratchet. Go below deck and there will be instant respawn chests that have no loot, but increase your skill.

Comentario de 580336

you need lock picking lvl 90 and dont complete if you dont know a druid or shaman you get a debuff at youself that you cant stealth for 7 days!

Comentario de SayneKamari

Make sure to lockpick the chest when you don't have the key. Once you get the journal, go and pickpocket the key off of the spiky-hair undead to finish the quest.

Comentario de semperfireno

where else can i level my LP? i already completed the quest and cant pick the chest?

Comentario de Intaka

Quest worked fine for me as of 6/29/2010.

Comentario de PinkleFairy

This quest still exists, it's just unnecessary. It is, of course, the main way to level your lockpicking from 85-150-ish.

It is ONLY obtained by Master Mathias Shaw in SI:7.

This quest scales with level, so will give you decent exp no matter what level you decide to do it.

You don't need to pickpocket the key from the spikey haired zombie to pickpocket the box, just the quest. So do NOT complete and turn in the quest until you are done with your lockpicking here.

Also, when lockpicking the box, be sure to LOOT and DELETE the book that goes in your inventory. The box will respawn within seconds, but you cannot lockpick it again if you have the book in your inventory. The book I speak of is Klaven Mortwake's Journal, for those who use a loot filter.

Comentario de 391594

Since you get this Quest in SI:7 at level 20 you won't be able to stealth, since you'll learn that at LvL 22.
Quest is simple tho:

Pickpocket the malformed drone who spawns at the entrance stairs. (he's a lvl 23)
stealth your way in to the top of the tower.
Fairly easy 'cause there aren't that manny guards inside.
Once upstairs sap or kill Klaven, Open the Chest and Your Quest is Completed.
Once you've opened the Chest you get a debuf witch prevents you from stealthing for the next 7 days.
use Anti-venom from your First-aid to dispell this.
If you don't have that ability, Ask anny class who can decurse to dispell it.

Nice Cooking reward. handy at all times :))

Good luck ;)

Comentario de 668777

I haven't been able to get this quest since the 4.0 patch. Anybody know if it is still there?

Comentario de Allakhazam

Make sure that you pickpocket the malformed first!
The reason for that is that the chest at the top of the tower, which is super easy if your lockpicking is close to maxed (I did it at 90/100) with a lockpicking set of tools, the chest can infect you with a poison that does not go away easy. It also helps the mobs detect you while you are stealthed. I got discovered by EVERY mob EVERYWHERE I went, while before I was just fine and almost never discovered.
So... pickpocket the fool first.

Comentario de Allakhazam

lvl23 Rogue.

I took the quest.. and went straight into the tower (thought the 'key' was in there somewhere). So i reached the top in stealth no problems. Saw a lockbox. Managed to pick it no probs (100 lockpicking skill) so i got the journal. Then went down the tower.. had a look around and found a single mob lvl24. I figure he's the one with the key. I tried to pp him but he detected me every single time. And his dmg output is INSANE, surely something is wrong there, blizz?

So i guess the poison you get from opening the lockbox which gives the 7 DAY debuff to your agility reduces your chances of not being detected in stealth a LOT.

I then tried to use my skills. And it worked, even with the poison on me.

So if you manage to mess up like i did and get poisoned before pickpocketing the guy (Malformed Defias Drone) for the key::

1. Distract him
2. Use vanish (you have 10 seconds of much improved stealth when using this)
3. Sprint in (doesn't break stealth) and pickpocket him from behind. He will not detect you under improved stealth.
4. Run away!111 Use Evasion if necessary

Good luck :)

If you are a dwarf, stoneskin makes the poison go away... Just for you to know.

I was level 20 when I started this quest and finished at level 21. I didn't realize at first that when you open the chest upstairs you get poisoned so you can't stealth, I also didn't realize that I had to Pickpocket the guy with spikes. So when I went in the tower I opened the chest first and got poisoned then I went and killed the spike guy and got nothing, checked Allakhazam and saw I needed to pickpocket him. So I got my Pally friend to remove the poison, pickpocketed him and finished the quest.

So if your doing this quest, DO NOT get the chest first...pickpocket the spike guy which is very easy to do and then stealth all the way up to the top of the tower, kill the guy at the top who goes down really easily, then grab the chest and jump down to the bottom of the tower and get out of there.

Comentario de Allakhazam

can anyone answer a question for me, i have the key, but am unable to unlock the chest. i cant right click the key, or lockpick the chest as i am too low in lockpicking (but i have the key!) any help appreciated
thanks

Comentario de Allakhazam

Thanks for sharing everyone, especially the writeup from Renice. I tried last night for fun. the pickpocket for the key was a breeze. I died twice inside the tower because I was being a bit careless and then I did not really watch the guards well. If you time it right, you can stealth all the way up to the top without a problem. I am lvl 20 and I have my MOD maxed at 5/5 and I was still seen by the lvl 23 guards inside when I got close. So the 3rd time, I timed it well and ran up on the side the guard was not on. I went all the way up, sap'd the guy, opened the lock and took the book (lockpicking skill was at 92) and hightailed out. Now I am trying to get rid of the 7 DAY poison but from what I am seeing I can't get a bronze bar from anyone other that the AH.

Editing because I can't spell or type.

This quest can seem a little hard, cuz most ppl think that you have to kill the man in top of the tower ... but the solution is very simple .... just stealth go behind him and SAP ..... then you get alot of time to open the chest. that was how i did...

And OMFG that drone thing is very overpowered compared to its lvl.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I am good equiped level 21 , have no potions in improved stealth , have the key from that drone but i cant lock pick the chest because : You skill is not high enough :(. What skill does i need to open the chest ? And where can i gain big lockpicking skill ? please help me cose i realy dont know. Or does i have to pickpocket him ?

Comentario de Allakhazam

What lock picking level do you need

Comentario de Allakhazam

Easy breasy quest for level 20 rogue...got the key from the first time then made my way up to the top in stealth...turns out my lockpicking wasnt high enough though , so I called a friend who picked the lock when I sapped the guy at top...Only he got it though xD...oh well back to redridge for skill...Otherwise the quest is easy , but the 100 lockpicking skill requirement bugs me ><

Comentario de Allakhazam

Is it possible to get this quest again? =/
I abandoned it accidentally and it will not show for me again =(

Comentario de Allakhazam

I open the box but no journal, I do have the key so not sure what's wrong.

if you die you lose the key and have to abandon and restart the quest.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Best let another rogue distract the boss before you try to unlock it. The 30 rogue i had help me with couldnt even take him down 3/4 and i was lucky i got the lock picked.

The key is on the guard with a club, not the axes. You can bypass most guards with stealth cept for one or two.

Good luck!

Comentario de Allakhazam

uhh... cant seem to find her, any clues?

Comentario de Allakhazam

It was easy for me. All I had to do is sneak to the guy with the spikey shoulder and hair, pic pocket him. Yay, got the key. Then I went up there. But I had to go back to Redridge to level my lockpicking. So I got it to 100. I went back to the tower, and I sap the elite guy, and take the little book.
That thistle tea sounds good. >_<

Comentario de Allakhazam

Why sap Klaven Mortwake? You get Magic Dust when you start the quest. It lets an enemy sleep for 30 seconds, which is about the same as what Sap does, but this magic dust can't fail, I think, and Sap can.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Did this quest at lvl 20, first i pickpocketed the guy with the key that was no truoble at all and then i just sneaked up to the tower sapped klaven opened the chest and just ran out of there.

If you have to die to complete this quest you may have missed that rouges have stealth, or you are just to stupid to use it. It took me about 5 minutes to complete this part of the quest and i did not die once!

Comentario de Allakhazam

yeah, same thing is happening to me

Comentario de Allakhazam

You probably need the lockpicking tools.. pick one up in one of the vendors. Also i kept on getting seen by the guy outside, so i went inv. and waited by the door of the castle, as he begins to appear, target him and pick it before he becomes fully there. Back up and wait for him to leave. you never are in his line of sight so it should be safe. (i had the other undead walk to where i was at and just look at me.. they walked away after abit..) hehe.. gl

Comentario de Allakhazam

ok, where too after alther's for lockpicking? ive got mine to 83 but the locked boxes are green and never increase my skill, and engineer's practice locks are grey for me.i tried going to wetlands but the locked boxes there are all red, and i cant open them.

Comentario de Allakhazam

just wanted to add for the sake of argument that if you read the diary thats complementary when getting the quest states that the mobs are rather fragile to ambush.

which they are ... one shot one kill.

have to admit that i didnt figure to sap the boss though.. -_-

got him later with a college of mine...

Comentario de Allakhazam

Quote: "This can be soloed at level 20. Make sure your lock pick skill is maxed before trying this. First, sneak behind the Malformed Defias Drone and steal the key from it. Then go into the tower and die. Resurrect at the top across from Klaven Mortwake. Sneak up to him and sap him. Then pick the lock. You should get three tries before he attacks. Get the book and run away as fast as you can."

Maybe I trust my abilities more than whoever wrote this, but here's how it went when I did this at 20: I pickpocketed the Malformed Defias Drone, and then stealthed my way all the way up the stairs past all the wanderers and to the chest. Then I unlocked it without aggroing Klaven. Now granted my heart was pounding the entire time, but it's doable without the death if you're patient.

Comentario de Allakhazam

lvl 20 Rogue.

Pick the pockets of the "Malformed Defias" wondering around outside the tower. You will receive a key.

Go into the tower stealth all the way. Guard died from 1 Ambush attack. Stealth passed the rest with no probs (and I don't have Master of Deception)

Top floor is where Klaven Mortwake is. No one else on the top floor. stealth behind him - he didn't move the whole time I was there so it's easy to stealth behind him. Ambush. Didn't crit so needed to use Gouge. Gouge failed so just dagger / Sinister strike him to death.

When dead, click the sparkling chest and get the journal. Didn't appear to use lockpicking skill cos I had the key but maybe you need the key and lockpicking skill, can't tell really (my lockpicking lvl is 92 if it matters). You will be poisoned so can't stealth any more. Couldn't be arsed walking down all the stairs again so just jumped from floor to floor and sprinted when I got to the exit door at the bottom of the tower.

Use a cure poison (or get a druid or alchemist or palladin) to cure you. Bobs you Uncle and all Christmases come at once.

Very easy, don't even get multiple mobs to fend off.

its easy for the key, u just sap him then PP him. then just stealth up to the top and get the chest

Comentario de Allakhazam

I've tried this quest many times and am now at lvl 30 my lockpicking is at lvl 130 so i have no trouble picking the lock i've got the key and all i get from the chest is the poison is this a bug?

Comentario de Allakhazam

This is a very easy quest.

After you talk to the lady and get the journal stealth up.
Pick pocket the spikey haired zombie (This was the worst part because he resisted alot)

After you have the key stealth up again and head into the tower AMBUSH the first guard when she comes downstairs.

Then AMBUSH the second guard.

Stealth up again and avoid the rest of the guards (it's easy just walk a ways behind them until you can go up the ramp)

When you reach the top SAP the main guy and use lockpick on the chest then use the hearthstone if you have enough time, if not you will prolly die you can just rez at the graveyard and go to SW.

If he resists your SAP then you are prolly going to die just come back and rez on the top floor and try again.

After you have the journal and the key head to SW don't worry about the poison either use anti-venom or wait till you get to SW and the gnome downstairs will give you a quest to make the antidote and it is all in town very easy.

Thats it I hope this helps I see a lot of rogues out there having trouble with this quest I did it at 20 it took me a couple tries on the pickpocket but after I had the key it took me about 2 mins to finish in the tower.....

Good Luck

Comentario de Allakhazam

I don't know why everyone says you need to die. I just solo'd at lvl 20, human, with 2 points in MoD. Pick pocketing is easy, all the guards are on rotation, so just stay oposite of them, got to the top, sap'd the guy like said, opened box, looted, jumped down, hit sprint and was gone. I only took 1 hit. Total time = about a minute and a half.

Comentario de Allakhazam

REALLY easy. Pickpocket key from drone (make sure you are behind him), and then go to the tower and kill the guards. Stealth up the stairs to the top and sap Klaven and lockpick the chest to get the book. Before sap runs out, vanish and find your way out. Btw, the recipe you get is VERY USEFUL so keep it and learn cooking til you reach 50 and make this tea. DO NOT sell the THISTLE TEA RECIPE!

Comentario de Allakhazam

I dunno, was hard for me. Tried 3 times at level 20, 3 at 21, dying without pickpocketing the key. Best I could do at 21 was get the key pop-up window to appear before the malformed drone scattered by bones to the wind. By level 22 had a couple points of MOD, as well as Vanish and Distract skills. I still got iced once by the drone, but got the key on second try. Still, guards gutted me once on the way up the tower. The dude at top also wasted me once, but on another occasion Vanish saved me. Final try I successfully sapped him, got book from chest, but was waylaid on way out and the guards wiped the floor with me. I'm not looking forward to seeing the armor repair bill.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I can't believe the walkthrough says to die and rez at top. Play the game. Be a rogue. Sneak up the freakin' tower.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Important: It is essential you pick pocket the key from the undead outside the tower first.

when you picklock the chest upstairs you get a 7 day poison debuff, it makes mobs see you easier, thus making it impossible to pickpocket the key.

if you've come here looking for the reason mobs are seeing you easy and you can't pickpocket the key, get a cure from a paladin thats over level 10, hehe.

Comentario de Allakhazam

The key isnt for the box, its for the tower.

Your lockpicking needs to be at 90+ to pick the box.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I am a level 21 NE rogue, I got the quest initially from Stromwind, and found the hidden agent next to the tree. The quest was red to me at that time, but I figured why not give it a try.

I picked the guys pocket, to get the key (you only need the key for turn in). First try, easy. I stealthed up the tower, avoiding the defias inside....easy. I sapped the guy at the top, ran over to the chest, opened it and got the journal...easy.

After that, I got scared, jumped down to the bottom of the tower, aggro'd 2 defias, hit the bottom, used sprint, and got the heck outta there.

Overall, if you use your skills, this is a pretty easy quest, you have to get the notion out of your mind that you are going to battle your way through it though. If you should decide to do it that way, you should know that the defias in side, and the undead outside, do NOT drop any loot.

The hardest part about it was getting poisoned for 7 days, but that is another story and quest lol.

I think I F'd up this quest. I made the mistake of following another Rogue into the tower and getting the chest BEFORE I got the Key. Now, the key is not with the spiked hair dude no matter how many times I come back and wait for him to re spawn. Even with the books in hand, I couldn't complete the quest. I eventually just had to dump them, abandon the quest and hope I could start over. To no avail, I'm afraid.
If anyone has any suggestions - pleas email me at brock9@charter.net

solo'd at lv20. Easy when you know how :)

Comentario de Allakhazam

It seems the Touch of Zanzil affects your ability to stealth, so..

Don't lock pick the chest at the top of the tower because as soon as you open the chest you become infected and you can't pick pocket the key from the zombie outside the tower, he will detect you.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Why can't I picklock the chest? I've got the Defias Tower Key but only thing it says: "Item is locked" What lockpicking skill you need here?

Comentario de Allakhazam

The instructions in this thread are just fine except for one detail. Use sap on the abomination outside, then pick his pocket for the key (which you'll never use) -- then either sneak or fight your way to the top and pick the lock on the chest to get the journal. You must have both items to finish the quest.

You cannot loot the key-holder, so you MUST pick his pocket (then kill him or not, it doesn't matter). If you skip the key-holder and go directly to the top, you'll likely get infected with the 7-day poison. And while infected, it isn't possible to pick anyone's pocket or sneak.

So to finish the quest you need to remove the poison, wait for the abomination to repop, then pick his pocket for the key. Note that standard anti-venom made via first-aid (or bought) _doesn't_ work. It may be that spells work fine... I have no idea -- as I bought some "Jungle Remedy" and it removed the poison.

Note that the quest with the doctor (to remove the poison) works fine at this point even if you're uninfected - this series of quests are painful if you screw up, but not buggy anymore.

Comentario de Allakhazam

uhh... cant seem to find her, any clues?

Comentario de Allakhazam

you MUST remove the poison before attempting to pickpocket the Malformed drone (at least if you're trying to solo this at level 20). If you don't remove the poison, the drone will see you from a mile away... and that almost means certain death, since he hits like a 30+ mob.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Sap the elite
open the chest, get the book.

pick pocket the horde outside

quest done

Comentario de Allakhazam

Used stealth to pickpocket the key from the Malformed Defias Drone outside the tower, follow him carefully in stealth (helps if you have spent talent points in stealth speed inprovment) and then stealth into the tower.

Work your way up slowly, take it careful and use the hiding places on each stairway and wait for the guards to move out the way.

Eventually when you get to the top Sap the guy and then sprint over to the chest and open it (you do NOT need lockpicking as you have got the key from the Drone outside) and if you are lucky you will JUST get it open in time before the Sap wears off (first time I didn't, second time I did) then jump down the tower and get out.

As a Lvl 20 Human Rogue I died twice doing this, but it was great fun as it feels really sneaky and rogue-like :)

Once you have done this, GET YOUR COOKING UP - thistle tea is AWESOME

Also, you can cure the Touch of Zanzil with a cheap potion of poison resisitance (search the Auction House for poison) and cure yourself and then you can get poisons from the Rogue trainer (and I HIGHLY reccomend you do!)

Comentario de Allakhazam

I lost the flippin Journal along time ago. Now I'm a 50 Rogue that can't make poison. If anyone knows how I can do this over let me know. I've been to the tower again many times and been poisoned with the Touch of Zanzil but can never find the Journal. This is pissing me off.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Abandoned the quest, because I messed it up first time. Retook quest, pickpocketed the key from guard. Went upstairs, killed Klaven. Then tried to open the chest, nothing inside. Lockpick skill is at 100. But no journal, still I got the poison. :S Getting really irritated.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Say someone had.... accidentaly destroyed his recipe for thistle tea, is there anyway he can get it back, since his lvl 40 rogue is a bit annoyed to keep buying it from the AH!

Comentario de Allakhazam

Lvl 21 Elf Rogue- It took me a couple tries to pickpocket the key- probably cuz I was getting too close! I found that it helps to hit the pickpocket key repeatedly while you sneak up on the Malformed until you get the distance just right. After that there's no trick to it, just go up the ramps/stairs quickly and stick in the middle of them if you have to wait- dunno what people are talking about with the 2 that talk. Even the chest was easy to open! After that just drop down the tower and run like hell.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Did it anyway and still got the poison ability. Sorry for the dumb question

Comentario de Allakhazam

if you haven't done the lvl 16 quest for lockpicking, you need to do that first. my lockpicking was at 81 when i did this quest, and i think I failed once. You don't need the key for the chest, just your thieving tools.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Well, I successfully completed this quest two days ago after I hit 20. It was quite easy.

First, I went to the Stormwind bank, stripped most of the equipments that I wore (I knew I was going to die several times, in fact I only died once, and I don't want to pay for the repair cost), and store them at the bank.

Second, I had my druid alt to make me a pair of gloves, pants & a pair of boots, then get myself a cheap dagger worth 50 coppers at the store.

Finally, it's show time! After having prepared myself for this particular quest, I head to the river bank near Klaven Tower to get my quest from the SI:7 agent who is hiding under the tree (Note: Press "v" to easily detect her).

I died on the 1st pickpocket attempt (the Malformed Defias Drone got me after I failed to pickpocket him, this guy hits pretty hard).

On the way to the top I was discovered twice by the patrolling lady on the 1st floor, and almost got stabbed to death by her dagger.

Suprisingly, my sap decided to land at the big guy (Klaven) on my 1st attempt. Right after I got the journal, I jumped to the bottom of the tower (ouch, I was panicked), drink my lesser healing potion, and managed to escape w/ tiny portion of my health intact.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Subtlety - 4 Master of Deception / 4 Camouflage
Assassination - 3 Remorseless

Unfortunately I made the mistake of picking the chest first because I couldn't find the malformed drone to pickpocket. Once you have Touch of Zanzil, you need to get it cleared or else this quest just became ten times harder for you. When I got Touch of Zanzil, I basically just went over to Duskwood and ground up spiders until I got a Small Venom Sac, made some Anti-Venom, and moved on.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Soloed at lvl 20, very easy.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Soloed at 21

Pickpocked malformed guard but then decided to attack him, having easily beaten creatures a couple of levels higher than me before. Either I was unprepared and messed up, or he hits above a lvl 23, becuase I died before I realised what was happening.

Tip - set your loot to auto loot (through main menu > interface options) - so that you get the key as soon as you pick the pocket (saw a post of someone who successfully picked the pocket but was killed before they looted the item).

Stealthed into the tower and to the first floor - got too close to the guard and was engaged in combat - but killed without too much prob.

Stealthed past the other guards - sapped the main man - lock picked the chest and took the book (auto loot saving time again), jumped and stealthed down the tower and then sprinted out the door and out of the range of any combatants.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Ok, the problem im having is finding the key. Any help?

Comentario de Allakhazam

If you have the "vanish" ability, just "Sap" the fool and pick the lock. saw "Sap" fail and the guy doing it vanished and came back. I then "Sapped" successfully (was only 20, no vanish). he picked it, it respawned, I picked it. 1/2 way through my attempt "Sap" wore off, and my compatriot attacked to distract him.

We both died, but we also both managed to get the chest open and complete the quest.

NOTE: Sap wore off 1/2 way through the SECOND picking. doing it solo you should be able to pick and vanish (or run) while he's still dazed.

*edit: OK, so I can't speel "strategy"*

Comentario de Allakhazam

First time I did this quest, I didn't even realise that I had to pick someone's pocket. I came to the tower at lvl 20-21, took one look at the Malformed Defias Drone, and decided to come back later.
At lvl 24 I managed to kill him once, but got no key - I still didn't get it. Thought I had to kill the guy on top of the tower to get the key, so I called on a lvl 60 Guildmate.
Guildmate wipes the entire tower, and I get the book... and the Touch of Zanzil.
It makes very, very much sense that the curse makes the drone spot you miles away when you're poisoned by it. I died 15 times at least when trying to pickpocket - in the end all of my armour was red, and the Drone could kill me even quicker.
When I finally got it, I was like: YEEEEES! I didn't count tries, because that would've made me seriously depressed.
I pity the lvl 22 rogue who stayed with me during the whole thing, giving me advice. >.<

The second time I still didn't know what the Touch of Zanzil did to me. Fortunately, since I had had so much trouble with this part of the quest, I decided to pickpocket first. I got it on first try, and was in heaven.
The chest part wasn't as easy-pie. Mainly because last time I had a lvl 60 killing his way up the tower for me. Now I was at lvl 20 and had to sneak up... eep.
With the help of a little patience (and Sprint on a few occasions) I managed to get stealthed to the top, without having to kill anyone (or be killed). All it takes is correct timing.

A successful Sap to the head of top boss - since there was noooo way that he wouldn't detect an upstart lvl 20 - lockpick and quest completed. Heartstoned out in front of their small noses :D

Comentario de Allakhazam

Ive done this with a lvl 20 gnome rogue, pickpocket key, sneak above, sap elite, take book from chest, then evasion + sprint out lol =D

Comentario de Allakhazam

Soloed it at Lvl 21, but DAAAAMN that was hard, without vanish...

I easyly stealed the key (Dunno what all the fuss was about), then climbed up the tower. My first idea was to pull Kearen out of the tower, but I allways either died from the fall, or the undead outside killed me, so I just sapped him, stealed the contents of the box, then jumped out (flead :)) and then cured the poison, it's fairly easy that way.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Solo'd at lvl 20 after reading that I can't have the poison on. Nothing in subtlety =P

Comentario de Allakhazam

Solo'd this with my lvl 25 rogue:)
Pick Pocket the undead, Stealthed to the top of the tower. Then saped Klaven Mortwake, runed to the box, and vanished. Pretty easy.
Also, i did this with 107 Lock pick, which i got from the Q called "Alther's Mill" in about 20 min.

Comentario de Allakhazam

its not that friggin hard to stealth to the top, if have to die and then res at top maybe your not cut out to be a rogue? Maybe try something easier? Like a warrior or a Teletubby in "Po's wacky teletubby adventure game"?

Comentario de Allakhazam

I cannnot do this quest at all for the same reason I cannot do Alther's Mill.No lockpicking of anything on the ground at ALL!So because of this I cannot learn poison and I'm level 55?What a crock!

Comentario de Allakhazam

The key has nothing to do with the chest. As with most games, class specific quests tend to imply using class specific skills. In this case Pickpocket and Lockpicking are the tools you need.

I agree with the way the quest was setup. If its just a run up the tower and an easy fight, how can it be worth it. When you hit 20, try it. Dying a couple of times isnt too bad. I died once on the pickpocket and once on the lockpicking (Although the lockpicking death was BS because I had killed a dust devil outside the tower and it dropped sleeping powder. I thought hmmm, should work well aghainst Klaven at the top. Well yeah it stuck.....for about 3 seconds, bam - dead). Second time was cake, used sap, lockpick failed once, second LP was a success, then high-tailed it out.

BTW, my lockpicking skill was at 79. Now its 80 :-)

If you get frustrated easily then dont try this until your like 30 or something. Half the fun I have had in this game is running around mobs 2-5 lvls higher then me (and once 30 lvls higher, giving me the record for most deaths within a 6 minute span. I was dying so fast, the timer to resurrect needed to catch-up) sorry for the ramble.

Oh and the girl is stealthed near a tree by the tower. She is very close to the riverbank. Just walk up from the tower and you should see her.

Comentario de Allakhazam

If you are having a problem with getting the poison cured (to make it easier to get pass mobs and what not), a druid with cure poison can take care of it. My friend is doing this quest and having a hard time pickpocketing the guy. We decided to give up for now and I managed to cure the poison with my level 23 Druid.

Now that I see the poison makes it harder to pickpocket, we'll definitely give it a go again.

Comentario de Allakhazam

you can also cure the poison with first aid skill, the anti venom.

also, you pickpocket the key from the single guy, lvl 24, dong remember name exactly. If he does NOT have the key that means another rogue just pick pocketed him. Wait 5 to 10 min and he will despawn and respawn a few min later with the key.

Comentario de Allakhazam

If you stealth up the tower and lockpick the chest before stealing the key, the boss wont spawn and the guards arent as sharp eyed.

So yeah, make it easy, lockpick first, then come back down and pickpocket the drone, and its easy pie.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Do not use the key to open the chest. If you do the key will disappear and you will not have it to turn in to complete the quest. Use your lockpicking skill to open chest.

Comentario de Allakhazam

For the sake of those who opened the chest first before pickpocketing the key.

The poison which klaven inflicted you can be cured by using the anti venom from First Aid.(It works, I tested it myself)

After curing yourself, try pickpocketing again, cause the poison which will allow the mobs to detect you more easily is now gone.

Comentario de Allakhazam

just pickpocket one of the guys walking around outside, did it first try with master of deception, he never even thought he saw me. stealth up past everyone, the 2 guards will talk right where u need to walk, just wait and they will walk away and u can get though and just go up and sap the guy and get the chest. then do what rogues do best, jump down, sprint and evasion out of there. did all this without getting hit once :D

Comentario de Allakhazam

I actually picked the chest with a skill of 81.

They key you must pickpocket off the single guard circling the tower named "Malformed Defias Drone". If he has the key, there will be a shiny yellow trail following him. If you don't see shiny yellow sparkles, don't try. Wait until you see them to pickpocket.

OK here's how to solo this quest at level 20:

Around the tower there's a level 23 with spiky hair and a mace. Stealth and sneak up behind him, then pickpocket from him.

Now go into the tower. Stealth and go up as far as you can, then die when the guards discover you. As a ghost, go up to the top level of the tower, as far from the elite as possible. Ressurect. Stealth, sap him, lockpick the chest and get the contents. Die again. Quest done.

Did it at level 20, pick pocketed the malformed drone, got alittle close and died.
Stealthed to the top, sapped Klaven, opened the chest at 80 lock picking, jump to the bottom, died again.
Not to hard.

Comentario de Allakhazam

If you were smart like me you picked the chest first *insert giggles here* Anyways... if you have been working on first aid you should have some Anti-Venoms with you, they remove said poison :)

Comentario de Allakhazam

A good way to get the key is to go invis, and use the "Distract" skill. Place it in front of the guard, then pickpocket him.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I am a complete noob and I just soloed this one at lvl 20. If u wait for just the right moment the malformed difias drone walks right out the front door of the tower and turns left, stealth up behind him and sap him, Pickpocket him and you get the key. stealth up the walkways in the tower being careful not to aggro the guards and get to the top lvl of the tower sap klaven and open the chest behind him and you're done.Everything went great first go round. Thanks for all the help guys, Like I said I am a complete noob and with these posts it was cake walk.

Comentario de Allakhazam

if you mess up the order and can't stealth then Potion of curing Poción de curación fixes you you dont have to waste the 7 days.
also maby its new or a glitch but I had a lev 60 hunter kill "Malformed drone" a few times and I could no loot anything off him so no key could drop

Comentario de Allakhazam

The key doesn't help you open the chest. So, when you learn how to pick locks in Amber Mill, spend the extra time to get to 80, then go swimming in the lake, avoiding the "nessies", and get a little higher and make some coin. If you have first aid skills, then the poison you get from picking the lock won't matter as you can use the anti-venom, otherwise you have a pain in the ass quest waiting for you.

Comentario de KnightTime

Maybe I'm just cursed, but even approaching the Malformed Defias Drone DIRECTLY from behind, he detects me a good 15 yards away. No opportunity to pickpocket. Level 20.

Comentario de Kyon92Z

With auto-loot on, spamming pickpocket before the undead defias breaks your stealth works to get the key, even if he spots you because of the debuff.

Comentario de fabflippintastic

Soloed as level 20 rogue with 1 point in Master of Deception.

Pick pocket was not a problem, but be quick. If you linger - you will be found. Failed getting a sap on Klaven the first time, he sensed me too early. Second time I used sprint and managed to sap and was able to open the box.

Comentario de shrikearghast

Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, you cannot open the chest at the end of the mission without a decently high (70+) lockpicking skill. It would have been nice had the quest advertised that before I climbed the freaking tower... but, alas, #nochanges.

Comentario de crimson30

If you want to pickpocket Llave de la torre Defias, you'll need to do that first since getting Diario de Klaven Mortoalerta curses away your stealth (Toque de Zanzil). Or just bring Contraveneno. I believe Toque de Zanzil may cure this, so no rush.

You may not have to kill Klaven Mortoalerta at the top of the tower, you just need what's in the chest. Also, you don't need to pickpocket Zángano Defias deforme, you can just kill him and get the drop.

Comentario de redaxe

At level 20.

Pickpocket the key first. Don't go up the tower until you have the key. Also, make sure your hearthstone is available and be sure to have maxed your lockpicking skills.

To get the key - stealth and chase the spikey haired Malforned Drone that patrols solo around the outside of the tower. Don't try and sap him. Just pickpocket him. You don't need to keep up with him - just hit pickpocket once when in range. Stop and loot the key while he walks off.

Next, stealth up to the highest part of the tower that you can. There are heaps of level 23 mobs so it is advised run up and get as high as you can. Die, run back and res at the very top of the tower, away from Klaven. Stealth, sap Klaven, loot chest. Hearth out and you are done!

Comentario de rogermw

The journal seems to imply that the undead are particularly vulnerable to Backstab and Ambush.

I see no evidence of this. They don't appear to take any more damage from either of these abilities than your average mob.

Comentario de jonahaas3

Ive pick pocketed the guy and recieved the key about 5 or 6 times now and i can get the journal but the key will never be completed on my quest any one have any idea why?

Comentario de linda535

I don't know if this is addressed here, but I got the 'pockets already picked' message when I tried to pick the Malformed Defias Drone's pocket. So I killed him, hoping he'd respawn and have the key.
Got the key dropped into my pack!

Comentario de cili7

If you happen to pick the chest BEFORE pickpocketing the guy, you'll get stuck with a poison that you can't get rid of (normal cure poison in first aid doesn't cure it).

This poison persists for SEVEN DAYS, and prevents you from stealthing to finish the quest.

Don't wait 7 days. You need "Potion of Curing" from an Alchemist. It cures up to 4 poisons, up to level 60. That's the medicine you need to get rid of this particular poison.

HARDCORE ROGUES

IF YOU SEE THIS, ONLY DO THIS QUEST AT LVL 22.

IF YOUR PICKPOCKET FAILS, VANISH. HE WILL 1 SHOT YOU

Comentario de mdunlap0872

This was my experience with this quest:

I tried it at level 20 but the other mobs could detect me. So, I came back at level 22.

I trained vanish and distract at level 22. I bought some flash powder just in case.

When I got to the area, someone had killed the patrolling mobs. I used distract on the guy that I needed to loot the key.

I went into the tower. There were some mobs patrolling. I avoided them and then the elite was at the top - a few yards away from the box. I opened it, looted and hearthed. I used anti-venom to get rid of the 7 day poison.

Comentario de Lancildax

Went to the tower, tried to get the key, it read :"already picked the pockets." Another rogue was there at same time and had picked the pocket as I was doing it. Went fishing for 20 minutes, came back still "pockets already picked". So I killed him like the dude above posted, the key did not drop. So I went upstairs sapped him and opened the chest and grabbed the journal. However I still needed the key to complete the quest back in SW. I abandoned quest as have done for many other quests that fail and now it's frigging gone. Well done blizzard, well done. Put in a ticket and now have to wait three days. This quest if garbage.

Comentario de Aethi

If you have the poison and still need to grab the key, you can still do it. The guard will spot you, but you have about 0.5s to use pickpocket before he gets his melee attack off and pulls you out of stealth. If you have auto-loot on, it will grab the key for you. If you mess up or flub the timing, just gouge the guard and run off.

Classic SOD
Level 20 Rogue

1. Get lockpicking to at least 70 (higher the better, easy to do in Redridge)
2. Pickpocket patrol guy outside the tower for the key
3. Stealth up the tower
4. Sap Klaven Mortwake (it may fail so be prepared to drop down and run out to reset mobs)
6. Lockpick the chest near him

Comentario de glenngull

First run, at level 20, I sapped the guy at the top of the tower, but my lockpick failed (I was at lvl90 on lockpicking). The guy got out of the sap and killed me.
The second try, I sapped the guy at the top of the tower, successfully lockpicked the chest and got the item. Ran out without dying and used sprint.
Profit.

Comentario de Celaderith

The quest is completely broken in SoD rendering completion impossible. And the key you pickpocket does nothing.

Comentario de geekySmurfer

CONFIRMED: if you are having a problem getting the key, turn off AUTO-LOOT in the options and it will drop right in your bag.

Comentario de lunarion6

Worked great until sap failed me twice with a miss (lvl 20) -_-

Hace semanas que vigilo esta torre, <nombre>. Hace poco pasó un gran cargamento procedente del Bosque del Ocaso, y con él vinieron esos guardias.

¿Qué son? Tu suposición es tan acertada como la mía: no son humanos.

En cualquier caso, en el cargamento había un cofre, supongo que es lo que guardaban esas abominaciones. El zombi con los pinchos tiene una llave que necesitaremos.

Consigue esa llave, ve a la torre y averigua qué hay en ese cofre. Lleva a Mathias lo que descubras.
