Great Divide

Great Divide Guide

Great Divide is the bridge between early Velious and Velketor's Labyrinth. It contains the elemental rune turn-in for Velketor access, several Coldain/Kromrif side quests, a Velious travel NPC, and the Luclin spire timer scripts.

Velketor Access

The main custom NPC is the Great Divide envoy script. Hail the envoy, take task 33, then collect the four Velketor runes:

• Velketor's Cryptic Rune of Frost
• Velketor's Cryptic Rune of Fire
• Velketor's Cryptic Rune of Air
• Velketor's Cryptic Rune of Earth

Hand all four runes to the envoy to unlock the next step toward Velketor's Labyrinth.

The runes drop from Great Divide named such as Bloodmaw, Fergul Frostsky, Gralk Dwarfkiller, Ranuul Coldhearted, Shardwurm Matriarch, and Yaka Razorhoof. Yaka Razorhoof's loot table includes the Fire, Air, and Earth runes as well as Drum of Bovine Hide, which has click effect 40610.

Custom Encounters And Side Quests

a_coven_zealot refreshes buffs, stuns on a timer, and spawns two NPCs on death. This is part of the Arm of the Coven style scripting, not a simple static mob.

Bekerak Coldbones accepts Bekerak's New Spear and spawns #an angry shardwurm. He also processes the supply-sack sequence into Kromrif Battle Totem.

Bloodmaw accepts four [1] items and spawns the bloody gnome captive. The captive has a 60 second despawn window and can reward Third part of an Iceclad Map.

Relik accepts four [2] shardwurm claws and rewards Coldain Velium-Pick.

Kardakor starts a talisman investigation thread involving An old worn Talisman and Head of the Taskmaster.

Travel And Spires

NPC 1678 is a Velious travel helper with destinations for Iceclad, Tower of Frozen Shadow, Eastern Wastes, Crystal Caverns, Velketor's Labyrinth, Cobalt Scar, and Wakening Lands.

The Velious Spires and player scripts use qglobals to open the Great Divide Luclin portal. A Mystic Voice announces the portal countdown, sets `nexus_gd`, and the player script checks for a shard item before moving the player.

Notable Drops

Great Divide shares several Velious utility drops:

• The Coin of Fate from many mobs.
• precious metal as Philosopher's Stone fodder.
• Mirrored Clawed Earring of the Tomb and Mirrored Shard of the Scales from higher named such as Yaka Razorhoof.

Practical Route

Take task 33 from the envoy before farming. Kill the rune named until you have Frost, Fire, Air, and Earth, then turn all four in together. Use the travel NPC for routing, and do not ignore the side quests if you still need Iceclad map pieces or old Coldain/Kromrif utility rewards.
