Fey Pharmacist

Journey to Mandrake Woods, which you will find at the sextant reading 654,365 (or just northeast of the town of Xaventry). This is where you will begin the run, from the entrance of Mandrake Woods go 2l2sl2sl2s4d2s6ksk2s2w; this will bring you to the entrance of the trollish caverns. From here proceed 3w and 2s leaving you on the outside looking in at a small private room to your south. All members of the form intending to fight the Fey Pharmacist should precede 3s and kill Glamdrung for an iron key then unlock the down. People tanking the fey pharmacist should be careful upon entering the room, because mobs are allowed to attack with "special attacks" now, so the fey can initiate combat with a bite attack which means being paralyzed. The room is also nomagic, so your other members will be unable to heal you. A good idea is to have everyone set their defense to dodge, hoping to block a possible paralytic attack. Also, give your form members some calm mixtures so even if you do get paralyzed, they can calm the fight. Meanwhile, 2 members (level not important) should remain in the private room 1S to prevent interference from outside players and lower the risk of being CPKed. Once you have finished, your 2 "blockers" may move north and allow the rest of the form to come through then you will need to head back to your north and 3 east till you have reached the cavern exit. Use the path 2e2njn6j2n4u2nh2nh2n2hw to return to the entrance of Mandrake Wood or simply go east twice and scale the west wall of the forest until you have reached a north exit, then follow the path north back to the Shadow Road.

Now you and your form must travel to the Faerie Plane to complete your run. There are many possibilities for traveling to this destination but we suggest the 'Plane Travel' spell or burying a Jasper Gemstone for the quickest and least obstructed results. Once you have reached the Faerie Plane, locate Unseelie Castle (a black, towering castle on survey) located at the co-ordinates 438,299 (Southeast end of the Faerie Plane).

Once arriving at the castle, go to the southern entrance of the castle, open the north door and go 3n 3e n nw w. Here you will find fey pharmacist, which you were previously fighting but now fully healed. He will cast psionic spells and kill spell, but isn't too hard now that you can heal and cure. When you have defeated him, you will receive the fetish of a Fey. There is no limit to this item, and it always repops on the fey, but you can repeat this run only when the mandrake fey is alive again.

NOTES:
  • A form of 3 well-equipped 240+ characters, and 1 other for blocking is suggested for this run.
  • The first pharmacist is in no-magic CPK, following precautions listed above is your best hope of avoiding a player-induced death.
  • Be prepared with some form of transportation to make the crossover to the Faerie Plane to increase speed.
