Enemy Ratings: 50-60

Hit the Ground Running
The Adult Statue is quite possibly the most important artifact in the Rite of
Passage -- it will become your new body. Speak to Valkoth to begin the quest
to "Create a Statue of Your Adult Self".
Valkoth will waste no time in sending you off on your quest. You will need to
acquire ten obsidian bricks and loot a Ghostly Dragon Eye.
Progress Check: You should have "Defeat a ghostly dragon and acquire its eye" as the current step in the quest "Create a Statue of Your Adult Self".
A ghostly dragon in Draak. They know how to use their debuffs, do you?
Grab some speed scales and head off to Draak to defeat a Ghostly Dragon.
Getting to Draak has become more of a challenge in recent times as the areas
southeast of Harro, once the preferred route to Draak, have become infested
with powerful enemies. No matter which way you go, through the newly blighted
lands, or through the Eastern Deadlands, there is a risk of an encounter with
a high level enemy. Bring friends or tread carefully!
Mirror, Mirror In My Paw...
With a Ghostly Dragon Eye and ten obsidian bricks in your inventory, return to
Valkoth, who will create a Dark Mirrored Surface and give you a formula to make
an Obsidian Mirror - a key component to making an accurate adult statue of
yourself.
Scribe the formula and wander over to a convenient stoneworking pedestal and
create an Obsidian Mirror. You will need 300 transmutation to complete this
step. Return to Valkoth when you are done.
Now I See Me, Changed and All!
The Pool of Teeth -- its water does not evaporate and is said to have
unusual properties.
Valkoth will inspect your work and then direct you to Lantenal the Hermit.
Head over there and he will attune you to the Pool of Teeth. The portal in
the Hermit's lair will take you to where you need to go.
From the landing pad, follow the road into the mountains and locate the Pool
of Teeth. Be prepared to encounter undead with ratings of 35-45. Once you
have located the Pool of Teeth, go near (or even into) it to transform your
Obsidian Mirror into a Changed Obsidian Mirror.
Becoming a Self-Made Dragon
Now you must return to Lantenal, who will approve of your work and start
you on the next step: obtain thirty granite bricks and speak to either him or
Valkoth.
Once you greet either of them with the bricks, you will be given a Dragon
Statue Formula. Again, head out to a stoneworking pedestal and create an
Adult Dragon Statue with the remaining twenty obsidian bricks. Take your
Adult Statue to Lantenal. (Remember those speed scales?)
The Hermit will then create a mold of sorts, which you must then fill with
lava and cool with water.
Progress Check: You should have "Fill the mold with lava from the Dralk shrine" as the current step in the quest "Create a Statue of Your Adult Self".
Return to Dralk and fill the mold by getting close to the shrine. When you
have accomplished this task, head to Chiconis and do the same in the water of
the shrine there. You will then have a Statue of Your Adult Self, completing
the quest and that portion of the Rite of Passage.
