Spike Tasks Quest/Spoiler

To reach The Spike, enter the northern teleporter near Xelvar, at the temple area of Kazordoon, (Teleport Crystals are not needed).
Depending on your level, you must go to different divisions of the Spike.
* Level 25-49 goes to the Upper Spike.
* Level 50-79 goes to the Middle Spike.
* Level 80+ goes to the Lower Spike.
Each division has 4 daily tasks which can be completed for 1 fame point each. These fame points can be accumulated and eventually used to purchase the Cave Explorer outfits and addons. You require 100 fame to complete the full outfit, which will take a minimum of 25 days since the tasks have a 20 hours cooldown. You can check your current amount of fame points by asking Gnommander about reward and then checking your questlog. 
Because of its difficulty, it is recommended to bring a team if you're going into Upper or Middle spike, or if you are going to the Lower spike near its minimum allowed level.
If you lose a quest item, the NPC Gnomux will sell all items required.
== Upper Spike Tasks ==
These tasks are available if your character is in the level range 25-49. Ask Gnomilly on the 2nd floor of the Spike for missions. Receive all missions (pacifiers, release, track, kill), and then leave the area using the large crystal teleporter.
==== Ghost Pacifiers ====
Having received the pacifiers tasks from Gnomilly, search the first 3 floors of the Spike for Ghost Pacifiers. Use the Tuning Fork on the ghost pacifiers 7 times. You can use the same pacifier once every 2 minutes.
Ghost Pacifier can be seen marked with a on the following maps:
Floor 1	Floor 2	Floor 3
 	 	
Turn in the task for 1000 experience and 1 fame point.
==== Angry Spirits ====
Having received the release task from Gnomilly, search the first 3 floors for Ominous Mounds. Use the Spirit Shovel on the mounds until an Enraged Soul spawns, and kill it. You can use the same mound after 2 minutes.
If you fail, you will receive one of these messages instead:
* You've found nothing special — Nothing happens.
* You unearthed some not-so-death creature — Zombie or Demon Skeleton spawns.
* Your crude digging has angered some ancient ghost — Ghost spawns.

==== Malevolent Presence ====
Having received the track task from Gnomilly, use the Ghost Detector on the 3 floors to see which directions to go. This spot may be different for everyone doing the quest. When you are in the correct spot, use the Ghost Detector again. Note that the Ghost Detector will only ever say northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest.
Approximate possible locations of the Malevolent Presences:

==== Killing Demon Skeletons ====

Turn in the task for 1000 experience and 1 fame point.
== Middle Spike Tasks ==
These missions are available if you are in the level range 50-79. Receive all the missions from Gnombold on the 4th floor.
It is strongly recommended for mages to bring a Terra Set and use Fire attacks because all of the monsters in this division deal earth damage and most are weak to fire. Be very careful of the Crystalcrushers, the hardest monsters in the division.
Mages are the best vocation to do those tasks, if you aren't a mage then ask a mage to assist you. There are alot of monsters at the same time. Some of those monsters are strong to physical damage, this makes it very annoying for a EK or RP to do those tasks solo.

==== Geomantic Charges ====
For this task you need to find magnetic monolithes and use the Lodestone on the charged monolith. Using it once, gives you a Partially Charged Lodestone. Using it on two charged monolithes, gives you a Highly Charged Lodestone. On the third use, you will get the message: You have charged you body with geomantic energy and can report about it.
Monolithes will recharge themself in around one to two minutes and can be used again then. It is possible that you get teleported to a random place in the cave!
