Ill Omens

Introduction

Dúrlin Black-Song

The Ill Omens skirmish event is a special event which is held periodically.

Ill Omens in the form of Harbingers of the Dead have appeared in skirmishes. The event involves defeating these mobs during standard skirmishes played within 8 levels of all characters involved. A set of specific daily quests are provided to handle these skirmishes. These are accessed from Nedda Pinleaf who is at skirmish camps in Bree ^{[32.1S, 50.4W]}, The Twenty-first Hall ^{[6.1S, 105.1W]} and Ost Galadh^{[14.7S, 50.8W]}.

During the event players will have the  Skirmishes -- Ill Omens effect active.

Quests

You must be at least level 40 to complete the "wrapper" quest Skirmish -- Ill Omens.

Note: When starting the skirmish at Tier 1 and Tier 2, there is a single quest which is bestowed, but when starting the skirmish at T3, an additional (Tier 3) quest is bestowed. The (Tier 3) version of the quest, when completed, awards more  Token of Ill Omens above and beyond what is awarded by the baseline quest. Both versions of the quests are linked in the list below, except for Ill Omens: Barrow-downs, since that instance has no tiers.
