Faster way to SDKA

What is SDKA, and why get it?

Sepulchure’s DoomKnight Armor questline is by some referred to as the “member version” of the Blinding Light of Destiny questline, meaning it follows the same format of merging items except only for members. While the questline is member only, the armor however actually is not, which means you can use it after your membership expires if you obtain it.


There are some huge benefits that you gain from having the Sepulchure's DoomKnight Armor, due to it unlocking the best Void Aura farming quest, Commanding Shadow Essences. Here’s some of what it helps with:

  • Speeds up the process of farming Necrotic Sword of Doom with variants.
  • Makes obtaining the Hollowborn DoomKnight set from Lae in /join hollowdeep a lot easier, especially the sought after Hollowborn Sword of Doom.

Before starting the questline you need to make sure to have some of the prerequisites, check the list below to make sure you have all you need before starting.

Active Membership

DoomKnight Class in Rank 10 in inventory

Recommend being done with 13th Lord of Chaos saga


After obtaining the prerequisites you can start the questline by speaking to Vayle, located to the right in /join necropolis.
