The three raids currently in DDO all have pre-requisites before you can embark upon them. While the requirement for the Vault Of Night is fairly straightforward, the others are...less so. Partly for my own information (because I don't know), and partly to help anyone else who might find this information useful, a call to arms on specifically what you need to be able to enter the raid instances. Also, any raid-specific items and their function would be nice. By raid specific, I don't mean a pile of raise dead scrolls for base running on Velah, or blade barrier scrolls for cheesing Lailat, but the Horrid Golden Figurine you can use in the Titan Raid...what purpose do these items serve?


Vault Of Night - Dragon Raid.
Requirement - Must complete the Vault Of Night series quests 1 through 4. These 4 quests are single-groupable, and are obtained first by speaking to Barrow d'Kundarak in the northeast corner of House K behind the bank, followed by speaking to Marek Malcanus in the Ever Full Flagon tavern also located in House K. All 4 initial quests are given by Marek. VoN 5 is given by Barrow, and 6 is directly accessed at the end of 5.
1- Tharashk Arena.
2- The Prison Of The Mind
3- The Jungles of Khyber
4- Haywire's Foundry

The Dragon Raid itself is Vault Of Night #s 5 and 6.

In order to repeat the Dragon Raid, you must wait for the repeat timer to expire. At this point you can speak to Barrow d'Kundarak and he will give you the task of speaking to Marek again (you don't even need to select "Repeat this quest").

Twilight Forge - Titan Raid
Requirement - Must complete the following quests "Hiding In Plain Sight", "The Shrieking Mines", and "Bring Me The Head Of Ghola-Fan".[Unknown: Do you need to complete the original Baudry Cartamon series before you can obtain HiPS?]
1 - Hiding In Plain Sight. Quest is obtained through
2 - Speak to Zerchi Spire-Keeper in the north area of the market, and get passage to the Restless Isles.
3 - On the Isles, speak to Karn Cold Trail, and get his assistance. This will likely involve paying him a 10,000 gold bribe [Is having enough Intimidate/Bluff/Diplomacy enough to bypass this?]. This will allow you speak to the other members of his crew on the island, including Ostler Caulstone.
4 - The Shrieking Mines. Quest is given by the wildman chief Opu The Elder. Successful completion will reward the player with the left half of the Shattered Sigil.
5 - Bring Me The Head Of Ghola Fan. Quest is given by [To be filled in]. This will reward the player with the right half of the Shattered Sigil.
6 - Bring both <x>s to Ostler Caulstone, and he will repair the sigil pieces into [specific name required] for you.
7 - [Intermediate step before final Titan quest?]

To Repeat - Once the timer expires, you need to get your damaged sigil repaired again, and then re-take the Titan quest from [whoever gives it]

Are there 2 seperate quests directly related to the titan like VoN5&6 and "Against the Demon Queen" and "Zawabi's Revenge"?


Zawabi's Revenge - Demon Queen Raid
Requirement - Must complete the 3 "main" quests in the desert, and bring the final artifacts to Zawabi The Elder Djinn in Zawabi's Refuge. They can be completed in any order.
1 - An Offering Of Blood. Given by Calyx Shattermoon. Must obtain the blood of the sacrificed gnoll. [specific name needed]
2 - Chains Of Flame. Given by Jaefan Druz. Must obtain the Orb of the Efreet.
3 - The Chamber of Raiyum. Given by Miroc Thrice-Born. Must obtain Witch-King Raiyum's Phylactery.
4 - Take the collected pieces to Zawabi, recieve and complete the quest "Against The Demon Queen". This is a non-raid quest.
5 - Speak to Zawabi again to be teleported to "Zawabi's Revenge" which is the full-blown raid instance.

To Repeat: You may collect the three pieces at any time and in any quantity by simply repeating those quests. Speak to Zawabi again after the raid cooldown timer has expired to receive "Against The Demon Queen" again.
