Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem

The Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem comes from the Plane of War Anniversary mission, it has a 100% chance of dropping which actually makes it pretty common since people run this mission primarily for the aug that drops, not this totem. Finding this totem is the easy part though!

Once you actually have the item in your inventory there'll still be some more work to do if you want to maximuze the benefits of the buff it gives. Depending on your class determines how high the AC buff this item gives will go. 156 is the maximum amount of AC this clicky can give for tanks.

In order to make your Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem better and get the best buff possible out of it you'll need to take it to Yaldu Bwor in Plane of Knowledge. He is a gnoll located just east of the small bank which is located near the Guild Lobby entrance.

Hand him your totem and he'll unlock a line of Spirit Shrouds for you. Now you'll have to max each line of Spirit Shourds to receive a fully upgraded totem. As you max each line of Spirit Shrouds you'll want to hail Yaldu Bwor to get your buff upgraded - or you can just hail him a few times once you're all finished.

How you would like to level the shroud is completely up to you. A method I recommend is picking the level 5 one and heading to a noobie zone and getting some buffs + a DS. You'll tear up the zone a decent amount and can even get outside help. Have the player helping run around and pull a huge amount of mobs then you deal damage to them and have a DS kill them all. It's a pretty common method for Power Leveling that almost everyone knows so I don't see the need to go into extensive detail. If you're like the only person who doesn't know about it, just ask someone!
