Where do you find them? I'm currently in the mission where the bonus is to not attack the Druid Guardians. In order to complete the mission, you do spend a bit of time collecting and carrying seeds from point to point.

I forget the name of the city I'm in, but that's the mission available from there. I'm just curious where from there I can go to get the ability to Animate Bone Minions and Fiends. I want them both.

Off topic, also looking for
  • Tainted Flesh {Elite}
  • Aura of the Lich {Elite}
  • Well of Power {Elite}
  • Order of the Vampire {Elite}

Any Help would be nice.
Have 1 capture signet (and saving for one of these skills).

You're too early in the game to think about elites. The desert is the first place you can capture them, and out of the three ascension missions, there's only one elite per class.

Also, don't forget to bring two cap sigs for Dragon's Lair. Unless you enjoy repeating the mission.

Unless you've already been to droks beforehand, albeit through a run or a guild group, then you can cap in lower shiverpeaks. Else for that, I agree with you a 80%, assuming said person isn't rushed through the game, you're 100% right.

I enjoyed the mission enough to go through it 4 times, but loch's right, bring 2 sigs for your class<primary/secondary> as you'll face a boss of each type there.

You can get Animate Bone Fiends from a boss in Kyrta - you get a quest from the Ascalon Settlement asking you to find the source of the skales issues - Reversing the Skales. The boss you have to kill has Summon Bone Fiends skill on him.. so equip a Signet of Capture when you go to kill him and complete the quest and use it on him when he's dead.

Quest: Reversing the Skales
Quest Giver: Captain Greywind (North Kryta Province)

Animate Bone Horror:
Trainer: Sir Bertran (Ascalon City)
Quest #1: The Nove Necromancer, Necromancer Munne in the Catacombs (Pre-Searing)
Quest #2: The Stolen Artifact, Necromancer Munne in Sardalec Sanitarium. (Old Ascalon)

Animate Bone Minions:
Trainer: Bartoch (Droknar's Forge)
Quest: The Royal Papers, Watchman Arad in Fisherman's Haven (Kryta)

Animate Bone Fiends:
Trainer: Bartoch (Droknar's Forge)
Quest: The Forgotten Ones, Annelle Fipps in Destinys Gorge (Crystal Desert)

That's actually more helpful than the other sites and such that I've looked at. Thanks.

BTW...
Why doesn't GWG display the quests that you should take to learn skills?

Tainted Flesh is in Perdition Rock, Way too far ahead of The wilds(I'm guessing your on), Same with Aura of the Lich, which is in Hell's Precipice(Last mission in the game), Well of Power is a PAIN in the ass to get withn the Avicara aka thundra chickens, and Order of the Vampire is in the desert missions(Dunes, Thirsty River, or Elona Reach). Order of the Vampire is the closest Elite Skill for you to get. Animate Bone Fiends can be captured with the signet from any necrid horseman boss, try gates of kryta . Animate bone minions however, i have no clue, but it can be bought from droknars forge. The Fiends and Horriors are better than minions.

Well, by default Bone Horrors will last longer than Bone Minions in most situations during battle because of their higher health and armor, etc.

I'll have to check that one out.

To be honest, I'm not trying to be a minion master, but I am using minions a bit as reenforcements b/c I often end up with lower lvl players. Considering using my "Blood of the Master" more often (just got it... never equipped).

I totally sound like a newb, so please excuse. What are good areas to build on when commanding Bone ______ (currently horrors for me now).

Again, I have Blood of the Master, and I use most of my spells in conjunction with Channeling (mainly b/c I find myself having to keep others alive which seems odd b/c I have only a few healing spells).

You can cap Fiends early in the Reversing the Skales quest you get from the captain in Ascalon Settlement. It is not elite but you can still get it from any boss that uses the skill.

Am I misreading, or did you say there's a fiend capture near Ascalon?
Reversing the Skales...Hmm.....

I'll have to look into that. All I know is that Bone Horror's don't seem to be cutting it anymore. I honestly hate to be a minon master, but I'm finding it necessary at times.


And Swampgirl Inez,
I'm aware of what the skills are, but I'm looking for feedback. Normally I play as an Infectionist. recently, simply infecting the opposing forces doesn't seem to work as well. I have Rotting Flesh, and when they're not undead or stone based enemies, I've found that very useful. Also, Epidemic rocks, but the problem is that as opposed to other games, I find minions to be different. Not only do they die quicker in GW than other MMO's I've played, but they also seem to be governed by different rules. In other games I've played, Undead Allies require energy and are dependant on the master to keep his/her energy above a certain level.

Perhaps I'm either asking the wrong question, or better off experimenting. N E Rate..


With Blood of the Master, does that affect all Animated Bone creatures under your control, or just in a proximity?

Actually, I posted that link in response to your question of where to get skills. I'm still working on a new Necro myself, but from the description of BoM, it sounds like your minions have to be near you to be affected by it.
