Rathe Mountains Quests

Say: “hail”

Did you take this person's life, shaman?

Say: “yes”

Why have you taken this person's life, $name? Did he threaten your life? Did you dislike him? Or was his death a profit to you in some way?

Say: “threatened my life”

I see. It brings me sadness to see another die, but his heart was black and a great nothingness. His body will become the grass now. Thank you for what you have done, shaman.

Say: “what are you”

What, or who, I am isn't as important as what, or who, WE are. Do you wish to know more, shaman?

Say: “know more”

That is good, $name. Take this gem. It is a part of us like the clouds to the sky and is a wonderful gift from the grandfather. Take this gem to where the humans gather to spoil the land and water. Some call it a port. There you will find one of us, a shaman like yourself. Give him the gem and perhaps he will tell you more of the spirits.

Say: “hail”

Greetings! I am the holder of the secret of the [Breastplate of Ro]. You may rest here. You are quite safe within this camp of paladins.

You have some nerve to approach a loyal member of the Paladins of Tunare! Run, while you can!

You need to prove your loyalty to my temple. Go to Felwithe and seek out the Clerics of Tunare. Prove to them your faith. Then ask the leader of this church if you are a [honored member].

Say: “breastplate of ro”

The Breastplate of Ro mold will be awarded to you. First, you will perform a test of strength. Go to Faydwer. There you shall seek out and destroy the Teir'Dal who carry the dark cauldrons!! They have been venturing into our lands and capturing many Koada'Dal and Fier'Dal for cooking purposes! Bring to me two of their dark cauldrons.

Say: “willing to help”

Uyo rea het tebardsrol?

Say: “I am the beastlord”

Ah, a quick study. Interesting. We did indeed seek some help, but you must [

Say: “prove”

You must answer three [

Say: “riddles”

The first riddle is thus -- There are two revolving in two ways.

Say: “moons”

Very well. I see that wasn't too great of a challenge. The second riddle you must answer is -- Set upon the world in defiance, the cauldron still swims with its ire alone.

Say: “kedge keep”

I had not thought you'd get this far. Most of Norrath's history is forgotten, but this is encouraging indeed. The final riddle you must answer for me, is this -- They were one that splintered in to three.

Say: “elddar elves”

You have indeed studied the world and know the simplest of references. I am grateful you would even attempt to aid us, two of the few remaining sphinxes. Most would rather take our secrets from us or see us dead! And I do believe we have once again come upon an [

Say: “enemy”

Yes, and do perk your ears. I do not want to have to say this too loudly. There is darkness around our minds and it is clouding our visions and magic. It is a cold, [

Say: “chaotic feeling”

Not since we allied with the ogre magi long ago, have I felt foreboding in my heart. But I feel it tenfold now. Something or someone is attempting to envelop our minds and use them against us somehow, but we are not sure how. I fear that even as I speak to you, I am [

Say: “endangered”

Zazamoukh calls to me. You must go see the sphinx quickly.

Say: “hail”

Bah! You think I'll accept you back so easily after that error? Everyone is talking about it! Those smug scions are STILL chuckling. I'll give you a task you can actually accomplish. Go get me 3 fresh Twilight Blooms from Odus. Return them and the prism to me. Perhaps such an inane task will jolt your lazy mind!

AMAZING! 'Frogs falling from the sky', the bards are crying. I didn't imagine you could make a bigger fool of yourself. Again, you've proven me wrong. I'll not let you off with some simple job this time. No! Go to the Direlands and slay the Time Torn Acolyte. It is a dangerous land and you will have to use your wits . . .I hope! Find some proof of your success. Return both the prism and the proof to me. I shall consider, one last time, to continue your learning.

Hmph. We shall see how expert you are. Now it is time for greater subtlety of skill. Are you [well prepared]?

I see that you've chose the arcane path, young wizard. Very well. I cannot dissuade you now. Only the gods know how much I regret my [own choice].

You are not ready for my instruction yet, young one.

Say: “own choice”

This power, this mantle of responsibility we wield. This yoke. Truth be told, I know why you've chosen this path. You want the power. You beg for the yoke. Well, I will not teach you as I was taught. There are other, more important, lessons to [learn].

Say: “learn”

First and foremost you must master your budding control of time and space. The other energies you wield pale in comparison to this. You will find practice for them enough in your common experience. It is not the same with [teleportation].

Say: “teleportation”

Even though you may have learned to gate in retreat or take the broad bridges of the spires, you are far from ready. Let us see if you can use the unwritten knowledge in your blood. Take this Portal Prism. Study it. When you think you've learned its secrets, give it back to me and we shall test your learning.

Say: “well prepared”

Good. No more precipitous plunges, I hope. Now, even though you may feel you know how to take others with you as you step through the threads of the universe, there is still much to learn. Give me your prism so that I may attune it.

Say: “growing power”

Very good. Focus. . .harder. Imagine it surrounding Igok . . .weave the unseen threads. . .good. . .yes . . .wait. Wait! No! Not like that! INCREDIBLE! I cannot believe it! Not only did you miscast the spell, you've sent poor Igok to who know's where! He's been shattered, made into three! There. I was able to snatch one piece before he completely dispersed. Use all of your powers to find the other two. Give each facet you find the prism to hold. It will reconcile the dimensional dissonance and you will be able to capture his fragments. Return both fragments to me so that I can help him. . . What are you still standing here for!?!

Say: “hail”

Greetings. I am one with the [Lost Circle]. You have found me. What is it you desire?

Say: “lost circle”

The [monks of the Whistling Fist] are called the Lost Circle by others. We are an ancient league of monks. Long forgotten and few yet remain. Within this realm there are only two. [Brother Qwinn] and I. We seek the items stolen from us. I seek the [idol of Zan Fi].

Say: “interested monk”

Then venture to the lands of evil. The swamps of the trolls and ogres. There, seek out a monk called Raster. He has the idol. You will return here and wait for my reappearance. When we meet again, you shall hand me the idol and a red sash earned from the Ashen Order. Do so and you shall be closer to joining the brotherhood.

Say: “idol of zan fi”

The idol of Zan Fi is a totem that is sacred to our brotherhood. I cannot share its secrets, but I can offer to you a reward for its return. Are you an [interested monk]?

Say: “brother qwinn”

Brother Qwinn is searching for one who can return the [Code of the Whistling Fist]. I believe he is in the vicinity of the Plains of Karana.

Say: “code of the whistling fist”

The tome called the Code of the Whistling Fist has been stolen from [Brother Qwinn]. It contains many secrets pertaining to our brotherhood. Thankfully, it is magically locked and only a Zan Fi master could unlock it. Still, Qwinn must see its safe return.

Say: “return the sash”

Very well. Give to me that which you have been rewarded or the robe, if you have a tailored one.

Say: “Hail”

Hello. I am Cynthia.

Say: “hail”

Greetings! Have you anything for me? Don't look at me like that, you know what I mean. Odds and ends from out there in the swamp. Rat parts are fine, and I could always use some freshly caught fish.

Say: “hail”

Nice to meet you, $name! Please have a look at my wares, I have taken great pains to brings only the best that the mountains have to offer. Or perhaps you are here to make an [exchange]?

Say: “exchange”

I am always in need of more skins, so I will swap three identical unruined pelts for one of my higher quality versions.

Say: “hail”

Welcome back, young Dar. I hope your training is going well. Unfortunately, I have been unable to keep up to date on your progress, but should you need advanced training in any individual skills, I am here to help you with that. Also, though you've chosen a life of adventure, remember that you may still be called upon to defend your homeland. To do this, you must be well prepared for war. Let me tell you what little I know of this land and aid you in your [first steps].

Say: “first steps”

The city is a place of sanctuary for all Frogloks. We count many friends among the good races of the land, but we have few true allies yet. We are bordered by the evil Feerrott to the south and the desolate Southern Desert of Ro to the north. Even Guk, the city-dungeon whose entrance you will see as you wander the swamp, has its darker aspects. We will need to build our might if we are to survive. Are you by chance a [new warrior]?

Say: “new warrior”

Ah, good. The Army and its reserve are always in need of fresh courage. Every new warrior must attempt the training I personally oversee. I say attempt because these exercises will test you to the very limit. Now, if you have enough of the courage we seek, we [may begin].

Say: “may begin”

Good. Take this Field Armorer Kit. It will allow you to use the [looted valuables] and even bodies of your enemies to form basic armor materials. These basic materials will prove quite valuable. When placed into a forge along with the proper mold, it will allow you to craft your own Armor of the Dar Initiate.

Say: “looted valuables”

As I said, spoils of war and bodies will provide the supplies you need. Innothule Swamp, the murky land just beyond the city gates, holds some of the items you seek. You may also have to talk to local merchants to locate the odd piece. When you are ready to attempt these quests, you need only tell me what you [want] and I will provide further instruction. I can teach you the recipes and give you the armor molds for the Armor of the Dar Initiate [Helm], [Breastplate], [Armplates], [Bracer], [Gauntlets], [Leggings], and [Boots].

Say: “helm”

A warrior's second skull, I always say. You'll need an Alligator Hide, a Ball of Pulpy Fungus, a Cracked Skeleton Skull and a Giant Moccasin Fang. Combine these ingredients in your kit. When you have the proper basic material in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Helm of the Dar Initiate.

Say: “breastplate”

The final shield. Yes. But its construction will not be easy. Go and seek some Pristine Moccasin Scales, Burly Kobold Ears, a Pristine Bull Alligator Hide and some Moccasin Poison. Combine these ingredients in your kit. When you have the proper basic material in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Breastplate of the Dar Initiate. Once so armored, you'll be well prepared for a [greater task].

Say: “armplates”

To make your armplates, you'll need some Moccassin Eggs, Bleeder Wings, Moccasin Scales and a Kobold Talisman. Combine these ingredients in your kit. When you have the proper basic material in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Armplates of the Dar Initiate.

Say: “bracer”

Ah, the quick defense against bloodthirsty blades. You'll need a Crab Spider's Carapace, two Spiderling Silks and a Malleable Bleeder Skin. Combine these ingredients in your kit. When you have the proper basic material in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Bracer of the Dar Initiate.

Say: “gauntlets”

You'll need a Bleeder's Poison Sack, Blackened Fungus and two Bleeder Carapaces. Combine these ingredients in your kit. When you have the proper basic material in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Gauntlets of the Dar Initiate.

Say: “leggings”

Wise. To make the leggings you'll need a Giant Moccasin Eye, two Kobold Livers and a Larval Carapace. Combine these ingredients in your kit. When you have the proper basic material in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Leggings of the Dar Initiate.

Say: “boots”

A soldier's life is a life of travel. For your boots you'll need a Kobold Scalp, two Chunks of Digested Earth, and an Undead Froglok Talisman. Combine these ingredients in your kit. When you have the proper basic material in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Boots of the Dar Initiate.

Say: “hail”

Well hello there. I don't mean to be rude but I am trying to enjoy a short break alone and enjoy my favorite Ale.

Say: “Hail”

Hail, $name. I am Darfumpel, master jeweler and proprietor of this shop. How might I assist you today? Perhaps you need a stone [cut] or some jewelry [repaired]?

Say: “cut”

Yes, I use a new gemcutting technique I designed myself. It will bring out the beauty of any gem. However, as arrogant as this may sound, I do not cut just any ordinary stone. They must be rare or of extraordinary quality. Have you an exceptional stone that requires faceting? If so, what type of gem is it?

Say: “repaired”

Although more mundane a task. I do have a shop to keep up and so I repair jewelry for a nominal fee.

Say: “hyacinth”

A hyacinth, eh? That is quite a rare stone. Quite fragile and easily shattered, too. With my new technique, I can assure you I will not destroy the gem, however, it will cost you. 1000 platinum coins is my fee. Provide me with the coin and the gem and I will cut it for you.

Say: “hail”

I, the keeper of the [Bracers of Ro], welcome you. Come and rest within our camp. You have nothing to fear while such righteous might is gathered.

We, the Deepwater Knights, know of your vile ways. You had best leave while you can.

You and I are not one yet. Go to Erudin and serve the Deepwater Knights. When you can ask Lord Weligon if you are an [honored member] and he answers yes, then this is when we are one with Prexus.

Say: “bracers of ro”

When you can swim the waters of Rathe and return two goblin nets from the elusive goblin net masters, then you will be rewarded the bracer mold.

Say: “hail”

Hello, $name. Perhaps you are interested in helping me with a [task]?

Say: “hail”

Very good to meet you, $name. I am the keeper of the [Greaves of Ro]. Please feel free to rest and recuperate here. We shall see that you are safe from the evils of the Rathe Mountains.

Leave my presence at once. Your ways of life are not acceptable to one who follows the Truthbringer.

In the name of the Knights of Truth, I must ask you to venture to Freeport and enter the Hall of Thruth. There you are to find Theron Rolius, and ask of him, am [I an honored member]?

Say: “greaves of ro”

Go to the countryside of Freeport. There, you shall seek out any nightfall giants. They have terrorized the countryside for too long. They have protection from common weapons. Rely on magic. I failed in tracking them down. You shall succeed and when return any single head to me. you shall be awarded the mold for the greaves.

Say: “hail”

Welcome to Gukta. I am afraid I do not have much time to talk, my friend. Recently, the jungle hatchling population has gotten way out of control around here. I was brought in to try to curb their numbers but there are too many! Perhaps you could be of assistance to me. If you have time, kill some of the hatchlings and bring me four of their eyes. I will reward you of course.

Say: “hail”

Come to find out about the Wayfarers Brotherhood, hm? I think I saw you around here long ago. Because you are familiar to me, I will trust you with some [

Say: “information”

The Wayfarers Brotherhood is pretty particular about who they do business with. You will need to prove yourself to them. You can start gaining their gratitude by helping them. The Wayfarers Brotherhood will ask you to answer some questions when you first meet with them. They tend to call all of their assignments 'adventures.' You'd do well to keep that in mind as they'll be more likely to give you some tasks. There is other information that makes them easier to [

Say: “deal with”

There are several camps of Wayfarers Brotherhood explorers around the world. In each camp you'll find a trusted Wayfarers Brotherhood member that has the task of recruiting adventurers that will take on interesting, and potentially lethal, [

Say: “work”

The Wayfarers Brotherhood believes in giving something for something. For each adventure you take from them, they will add you to their Favor Journal. With the points of Favor that their record keepers have counted for you, you can trade your good Favor for wonderful treasures and goods. Also, the more adventures you do for the Wayfarers Brotherhood, the more your Favor increases. The harder jobs get you more Favor, by the way. As you gain more Favor, the Wayfarers Brotherhood treasure keepers will let you peek at some of their more unique and sought after items. So, it pays to get in good with them, you see! And there's [

Say: “more”

You should also know that there are five magi in the Wayfarers Brotherhood that have found very unique magic stones in the world that they are able to use to transport adventurers to one another. They have placed a magus with one of these stones at each large camp. They call it Farstone Magic. And that's not the only [

Say: “interesting ore”

We've found some strange items off the dead in the dungeons. At first we just thought they were simple things -- rocks, pebbles, gems, and the like -- and then we noticed they had very unusual auras about them. Well, one day, Morden Rasp was toying with one -- a shiny green shard -- and he went to scrape it with his dagger. Suddenly, the shard began to reform and fused with his dagger. While the dagger remained as fine as ever, Morden himself felt a surge of strength! So, you will want to watch out for these strange magic pieces in the world. Now, I suggest you go talk to Selephra Giztral, Barstre Songweaver, Vual Stoutest, Teria Grinntli, or Ruanya Windleaf. They handle all of those who are interested in working for the Wayfarers Brotherhood and getting rewards. Remember well what I've told you!

You show a great deal of courage in coming here to speak with me at such a young age. I'm afraid you are not yet ready to pursue work with the Wayfarers Brotherhood.Come back when you have more experience and we will talk again.

Say: “hail”

Are you the one they sent to help our cause? I should have known they would send a green witch doctor to serve Bertoxxulous and myself. Very well, you will have to suffice. I have a [

Say: “hail”

Stopped, I have. Greet you, I do. What business do we have? Hmm? Speak up!!

Say: “journeyman boot”

Journeyman's boots are what you seek? Ha!! Those I have upon my feet and disintegrate will they if my life is taken. Extra pair have I, and, possibly, [rare trade] can we make.

Say: “rare trade”

Three things I call for and journeyman boots are yours. A [shadowed rapier], [ring of the ancients] and gold... 3250 gold coins I call for !! This trade I call.

Say: “shadowed rapier”

Shadowed men, foes to all, have appeared. Many lands do they walk. Invisible are they, but for the items they wield. Seek them out and return to me a shadowed rapier. Return it with haste before 'poof' goes the rapier!! No time to camp have you.

Say: “ring of the ancients”

Ancient cyclopes do march the land. Long have they lived and crafted the rings of the ancients. I must have one and you shall go and fetch one for me. Seek the lands of the oldest cyclops clans. Seek the plains, seek the island in tears and search the dunes for there is one who is last. His clan was blown from the sands.

Say: “Hail”

Welcome to the Rathe Mountains hideaway!

Say: “Hail”

Welcome to the Rathe Mountains hideaway!

Say: “hail”

Welcome back, young Jin. I hope your training is going well. Unfortunately, I have been unable to keep up to date on your progress, but should you need advanced training in any individual skills, for I am never too busy to enlighten one of my kin. You may have chosen a life of adventure, a life that will take you far from our home, but never forget your duty to your blood. The Guktan Army needs your growing powers. To remind you of this and school you in the way of our people, I will tell you something of [this place].

Say: “this place”

The fetid land we now live on of holds many evils. Trolls and other evil ilk still wander the Innothule Swamp, ready to feast on Froglok flesh. Their allies, the ogres, infest the Feerrott to the south, vying with the cursed Lizard men in a lasting contest of evil. Our lands stand distant from the other good races, separated by wastelands and deserts. Our army is our only defense. But that is enough. I am the teacher of young [froglok wizards].

Say: “froglok wizards”

That is your path? Good. Then we must begin immediately for time is short. The arcane path ahead of you is fraught with dangers, many of them of your own making. I will guide you as I can, so [listen well].

Say: “listen well”

This Arcane Crucible will allow you to combine [various components] to form a basic magical mesh. This mesh, when combined with the proper mold and worked in a forge, will allow you to create your own Armor of the Jin Initiate.

Say: “various components”

These are not the usual components used in spells. Look instead in Innothule Swamp for your pieces. The many enemies and vermin that stalk that bog hold items which are only trash to others. But to you they will eventually become treasures. When you are ready to attempt making your armor, return and tell me what you wish to make and I will instruct you. I can teach you the recipes and give you the proper molds for the Armor of the Jin Initiate [Headband], [Vestment], [Armwraps], [Bracer], [Handwraps], [Leggings], and [Sandals].

Say: “headband”

Wise. Your mind is your greatest weapon and you must protect it. You'll need a Malleable Bleeder Skin, a Pristine Bleeder Skin and two Mushroom Spores. Combine these components in your crucible. When you have the proper basic mesh in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Headband of the Jin Initiate

Say: “vestment”

The true mark of an initiate and a banner to the world of our growing might. To make it you'll need a Pristine Bull Alligator Hide, Bull Alligator Spines, a Giant Moccasin Eye and some Spiderling Silk. When you have the proper basic mesh in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Vestment of the Jin Initiate. There is a [final lesson] you must learn.

Say: “armwraps”

Gird yourself completely. To craft these you'll need a Bleeder Wing, an Undead Froglok Talisman, some Moccasin Eggs and a Water Moccasin Tail. Combine these components in your crucible. When you have the proper basic mesh in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Armwraps of the Jin Initiate.

Say: “bracer”

This bracer will be a compliment to your other armor. You'll need a Blackened Fungus, Airborne Spores, a Bleeder Carapace and a Cracked Crab Spider Legs. Combine these components in your crucible. When you have the proper basic mesh in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Bracer of the Jin Initiate.

Say: “handwraps”

Your mind commands, but your hands implement. It is wise to protect them. You'll need a Bull Alligator Tooth, two Pristine Kobold Paws and a Larval Carapace. Combine these components in your crucible. When you have the proper basic mesh in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Handwraps of the Jin Initiate.

Say: “leggings”

What better to protect you from all that lurks beneath the swamp's murky waters? You'll need a Kobold Talon, a Ball of Pulpy Fungus, a Kobold Liver and a Giant Moccasin Fang. Combine these components in your crucible. When you have the proper basic mesh in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Leggings of the Jin Initiate.

Say: “sandals”

Your feet will always touch your homeland. You'll need a Cracked Skeleton Skull, two Alligator Hides, and a Mosquito Carcass. Combine these components in your crucible. When you have the proper basic mesh in hand, take it to a forge along with this mold to finish your Sandals of the Jin Initiate.

Say: “hail”

Welcome. I have a number of platemail items, if you are interested. I am also a master [smith] of exotic materials such as dragon scales.

Say: “smith”

Dragon scales make terrific armor. I can make a [white dragonscale cloak] and [red dragonscale armor]. I have not seen any other colored dragon variants around. But if you see any, be sure to let me know. I would be interested in what can be made from their scales.

Say: “white dragonscale cloak”

Hrmmm. A white dragonscale cloak eh? Hrmmm. Well, I will make you a deal. You can save me some footwork and I will craft your cloak. I want to propose to my [fiancee] but I have neither a [wedding ring] nor a [present] for her. So, return with a white dragon hide, a wedding ring, and a present for my fiancee, and I will fashion your cloak for you.

Say: “fiancee”

My fiancee...AHHHH.... The love of my life. My purpose for existing. She is a real woman. Long, golden blonde hair with a similarly colored full beard. A stout broad she is, kind and warm at heart. She knows every nook of my essence. But do not let that fool you. She is as strong as many dwarven men. Between you and me, she has even beaten me once or twice arm-wrestling over who gets the last ale and who has to go to the market.

Say: “wedding ring”

Only the best will do. I will not propose to her with anything less than a platinum and diamond wedding ring.

Say: “present”

Well, she is quite fond of jewelry. And a black sapphire platinum necklace would complement her eyes and beard so exquisitely.

Say: “red dragonscale armor”

So you have a red dragon scale, eh? Well, I am wanting very much to return to my fiancee and propose to her. If you could aid me in quickly returning to her with a bit of spare change, we could have a deal. Heck, for the armor, a vial of swirling smoke and 1000 platinum coins is a bargain!

Say: “Hail”

Finally, a servant worthy of my needs! Apparently you are of high status, which perhaps means you might know a master [jeweler] capable of faceting a very magical, yet fragile stone?

Say: “jeweler”

You must provide me with 2000 platinum pieces as a deposit, then you must take this stone to a master jeweler or [Darfumpel], have it faceted and return it to me along with an orb of pure crystal, a gold necklace the color of snow, and the [blood of Xenyari]. Do that and I will provide you with magic beyond that of most knights of darkness.

Say: “darfumpel”

Darfumpel is a gnomish shopkeeper here in the Rathe Mountains. He apparently has a new technique for gemcutting, however, he will not deal with me due to my affiliation with necromancy. Speak with him. Perhaps he might be willing to aid you for a price, but make sure you hide your true nature. He despises dark magic.

Say: “blood of xenyari”

Xenyari is a druid who inhabits these parts. She is rarely seen, however, I require a droplet of her blood. Here is the catch though, and one for which you may be well suited if you desire magic of the knights of darkness - Xenyari must give of herself willingly. In other words, you cannot take her blood by force. Rather, she must give you her blood of her own accord.

Say: “hail”

Welcome back, young Kor. I hope your training is going well. Unfortunately I have been unable to keep up to date on your progress, but should you need advanced training in any individual skills, I am here to help you with that. As well, I am here to guide you through your growth as a Cleric in the Guktan Army. With the skills that you learn here, you will be better prepared to serve the Army. If you do indeed plan on following the path of a [Cleric], I have some tasks that you will need to complete, if it suits your interest.

Say: “cleric”

Excellent! I will give you a list of items to collect, and then combine in this magical assembly kit. This will create a material that you will use to craft a suit of armor that will protect you from the various dangers of Norrath, for years to come. If you are ready to begin your task, I will give you the assembly kit, as well as instructions for collecting the necessary items to craft your armor. Are you ready to receive your [assembly kit]?'

Say: “assembly kit”

Here you are $name, take this assembly kit, it is what you will use to combine the different items required to craft your own Kor Initiate's armor. Different items will be required to craft the different pieces of armor. These items will be available from both our outpost, as well as the training grounds near here. When you are ready to receive a recipe for a specific material, simply tell me which armor piece you [wish to craft]. I hold the recipe's for Kor Initiates [Helms], [Bracers], [Boots], [Armguards], [Legplates], [Gloves] and [Breastplates]. Keep in mind that the items required to make some of the larger pieces of armor will be a bit more difficult to get. You may want to wait until you are more experienced before attempting to obtain the components.

Say: “helm”

Excellent choice, the helm is without a doubt one of the most important pieces of armor for a young recruit. It is imperative that you protect yourself from blows to the head, while you are in the training grounds! To create the material needed to craft your helm, you will need to gather a cracked skull, two bleeder wings, and a set of moccasin scales, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Helm of the Kor Initiate.

Say: “bracers”

The bracer is one of the most basic sections of armor to craft, as well as being the easiest of all the armor pieces to collect the correct items. Even though it is a basic piece of armor, it serves a big role in the protection of the wrists. To create the material needed to craft your bracer, you will need to gather two spiderling silks, a blackened fungus, and a bleeder carapace and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Bracer of the Kor Initiate.

Say: “boots”

A pair of boots would be an excellent choice, especially if you plan on doing any extended training in the training grounds. These boots offer excellent protection from the elements, as well as excellent support for your feet. To create the material needed to craft your boots, you will need to gather two kobold scalps, an alligator hide, and a giant moccasin fang, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Boots of the Kor Initiate.

Say: “armguards”

The armguards are also handy to have. While they are a bit restricting in the movement in the arms, it is much better to have them on when you don't need them, rather then not having them on when you do need them. To create the material needed to craft your armplates, you will need to gather two moccasin eggs, one mosquito carcass, and a kobold talisman, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Armplates of the Kor Initiate.

Say: “legplates”

The legplates are one of the more difficult armor pieces to craft. Due to the sheer size of the materials needed to craft the leggings, you will need to gather the items from some of the more dangerous regions of our training grounds. To create the material needed to craft your legplates, you will need to gather a kobold liver, two giant moccasin eyes, and one foot from a froglok ghoul, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Legplates of the Kor Initiate.

Say: “gloves”

Gauntlets are a definite must for any recruit, especially those who do any sort of melee combat! Imagine what a shame it would be to have your recruitment cut short because you lose an appendage. It would be truly tragic. To create the material needed to craft your gauntlets, you will need to gather a cracked spider leg, a malleable bleeder skin, and two spore buds, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Gauntlets of the Kor Initiate.

Say: “breastplate”

So, you think yourself skilled enough to obtain the components necessary to craft your breastplate? I sure hope that you aren't wrong, it would be a very sad day to know that we lost such a promising young recruit because they were a bit overzealous. Regardless, as you have asked, I will give you the recipe to craft the breastplate. To create the material needed to craft your breastplate, you will need to gather two pristine bull alligator hides, larvae skin, and two pristine moccasin scales, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Breastplate of the Kor Initiate. After you have completed your breastplate, I may have another [task] for you to complete.

Say: “task”

If you are asking me about the task I spoke of earlier, then you must have surely completed the full suit of Kor Initiates Armor! You have proven your worth, and moved past the stages of recruitment. Moving along in your training, this task that I wish you to complete will be dangerous, and you may perish, but know that it will greatly help our cause. Enough of my chatter, the task I need you to complete is to recover a [lost journal] from the person who stole it.

Say: “lost journal”

This journal was very important to a friend of mine, and a fellow recruit of yours. It also had some very detailed notes on a mission that he was on, however, it got lost during an attack on his camp one night. He managed to escape with his life, but the journal was lost. The only information that we have is that it was a band of undead abominations that attacked the camp. If you could perhaps return to us with this journal, I would be greatly appreciative.

Say: “Regis”

Regis was my one true love, but he was [killed] and his soul enslaved by Zahal the Vile.

Say: “killed”

He was killed in the northern tree line to the east in North Karana. If you kill Zahal, Regis' body will rise from the place where he died. If my flute is on the body, please bring it to me.

Say: “hail”

Rodcet Nife welcomes you into our noble camp. I am the keeper of the [Vambraces of Ro].

Foolish person!! The word is out amongst the followers of the Prime Healer not to trust you.

In the name of Rodcet Nife, I must ask you to venture to Qeynos and find the Temple of Life. There you shall serve until High Priestess Jhanda responds when you ask her, am [I an honored member]?

Say: “vambraces of ro”

The mold will be offered to you when you have performed a task for the Temple of Life. The oceans near our home are host to a plague.. the plague sharks!! They have been infected with a deadly malady which has been turning up in the Qeynos Hills. Kill the sharks and bring me two of their rotten shark portions as proof.

Say: “Hail”

Well met! Welcome to Gukta, the Outpost of Marr -- our new home and base of operations for our fight to remove the trolls from the rest of our beautiful swamp. The liberation of Gukta was quite a battle! Many brave Froglok warriors, a good dose of [powerful magic] and the blessings of Mithaniel Marr allowed us to cleanse this place of the vile Trolls.

Say: “powerful magic”

Our battle wizards called many comets of ice from the sky, along with bolts of pure magical force, brutal walls of flame and even [illusions] to confuse and disorient the stupid trolls.

Say: “illusions”

A select few of Mithaniel's chosen know the secrets of spinning illusions. This skill allowed our bravest warriors to infiltrate the Troll's defenses and ensure victory. These are some of our most closely guarded secrets. We only [teach] them to a select few so they can better aid us in our battle.

Say: “teach me”

You must first [prove] yourself a friend of Gukta before I will teach you our secrets.

Say: “prove myself”

Very well, I will put your loyalty to the test. Long ago, a great hero of our people lost his life fighting the Trolls. He was in Rathe Mountains investigating a rumor that the Trolls were stockpiling special weapons in an effort to turn the tide of war back in their favor. He was ambushed by a group of troll marauders and their captain Krignok. He fought valiantly, slaying the marauders and eventually locking swords with the captain. But in the end, exhaustion got the better of him and he died by the troll's hand. The Krignok respected the froglok's ferocity and swore that they would one day finish their fight. So through a dark ritual the troll Captain locked the froglok's spirit in his own sword and broke it into 3 pieces. One piece he placed on the [battlefield] where they fought. The other piece he gave to an [infamous troll] warrior to guard. The location of the third piece has been lost over the time but there are [clues] as to where it may be.

Say: “battlefield”

The Mountains of Rathe hold many stories. One of them is the story of froglok warrior Chalex for this is the place where he was killed. Find the place where his bones are kept and say aloud 'I wish to recover what is lost' and if you are worthy you shall receive a gift.

Say: “infamous troll”

Gribnor is one of the strongest trolls alive, he is also one of the shortest. His strength is the reason that the Troll Captain entrusted him with a piece of the sword because he knew that it would be almost impossible for anyone to take it away from him. Last we heard Gribnor had taken up residence in Neriak Third Gate along with the rest of those vile trolls. I warn you to be careful as allies of Gukta are not welcome in the home of Innoruuk's children.

Say: “what clues”

The troll captain spent some time in the lower part of Guk. Apparently he was trying to control the undead frogs there and use them against us. His plans did not see fruition and while trying to escape he dropped the sword blade. It is rumored that another explorer found it and the power drove him insane doomed to wander the halls of Lower Guk seeking only to destroy others. I believe you will find this to be the toughest piece to retrieve.

Come to find out about the Wayfarers Brotherhood, hm? I think I saw you around here long ago. Because you are familiar to me, I will trust you with some [

Say: “information”

The Wayfarers Brotherhood is pretty particular about who they do business with. You will need to prove yourself to them. You can start gaining their gratitude by helping them. The Wayfarers Brotherhood will ask you to answer some questions when you first meet with them. They tend to call all of their assignments 'adventures.' You'd do well to keep that in mind as they'll be more likely to give you some tasks. There is other information that makes them easier to [

There are several camps of Wayfarers Brotherhood explorers around the world. In each camp you'll find a trusted Wayfarers Brotherhood member that has the task of recruiting adventurers that will take on interesting, and potentially lethal, [

The Wayfarers Brotherhood believes in giving something for something. For each adventure you take from them, they will add you to their Favor Journal. With the points of Favor that their record keepers have counted for you, you can trade your good Favor for wonderful treasures and goods. Also, the more adventures you do for the Wayfarers Brotherhood, the more your Favor increases. The harder jobs get you more Favor, by the way. As you gain more Favor, the Wayfarers Brotherhood treasure keepers will let you peek at some of their more unique and sought after items. So, it pays to get in good with them, you see! And there's [

You should also know that there are five magi in the Wayfarers Brotherhood that have found very unique magic stones in the world that they are able to use to transport adventurers to one another. They have placed a magus with one of these stones at each large camp. They call it Farstone Magic. And that's not the only [

Say: “interesting ore”

We've found some strange items off the dead in the dungeons. At first we just thought they were simple things -- rocks, pebbles, gems, and the like -- and then we noticed they had very unusual auras about them. Well, one day, Morden Rasp was toying with one -- a shiny green shard -- and he went to scrape it with his dagger. Suddenly, the shard began to reform and fused with his dagger. While the dagger remained as fine as ever, Morden himself felt a surge of strength! So, you will want to watch out for these strange magic pieces in the world. Now, I suggest you go talk to Selephra Giztral, Barstre Songweaver, Vual Stoutest, Teria Grinntli, or Ruanya Windleaf. They handle all of those who are interested in working for the Wayfarers Brotherhood and getting rewards. Remember well what I've told you!

You show a great deal of courage in coming here to speak with me at such a young age. I'm afraid you are not yet ready to pursue work with the Wayfarers Brotherhood.Come back when you have more experience and we will talk again.

Say: “hail”

Greetings, friend. I am the keeper of the [Boots of Ro]. Please rest here with us in our camp of righteousness. No harm can come to you while we paladins keep watch.

Say: “boots of ro”

You and I must be brothers and serve the Lord of Underfoot. Go to Kaladim and serve her cathedral. When you think you are ready. then ask Lord Datur if you are an [honored member] of the temple. If the answer is yes, then I will trust you.

If you desire the mold needed for smithing the Boots of Ro, then first, you shall prove your power. I have long sought an ancient holy weapon called the brazen brass kilij. I have heard rumors of detailed plans on how to make it, coming from Faydwer. Seek out the kilij plans. Bring them to me and you shall have the mold.

Say: “orc onslaught”

The orcs attempted to take the hill, as they do on a frequent basis. We repelled them, of course, but a [blue orc] rushed off with the [Chalice of Conquest]. Where he came from, I do not know. He was no part of the battle!! I believe he just found an opportune moment to loot our camp.

Say: “blue orc”

I had a visiting ranger track him to his camp near Lake Rathetear. I spied the camp and saw his lifeless body near two other blue orcs. Apparently, he must have taken a fatal blow, but had enough stamina to make it to his camp. I returned the following day with my fellow paladins and found the camp long gone. The ranger, who was still with us, found two sets of tracks leading away. We found [orc remnants].

Say: “odd druid”

The mountains have been plagued not only by beasts, but by evil druids!! They attempt to force all men from this land. One has stolen the foot of the candlestick which holds the [Candle of Bravery]. I remember that battle cry of hers, 'Long live the green!!'.

Say: “chalice of conquest”

You must be the one Sir Dru of Kaladim sent to retrieve the candlestick which was broken in the [orc onslaught]. I have only this piece in my possession as the other portion was taken by an [odd druid] of these mountains. Should you reclaim it, I am sure the maker of the candlestick can patch it together.

Say: “orc remnants”

Here. We found this worthless orc bracelet with the name Klunga on it. There was also an orc shovel and a bag of Cauldron prawns. We left them, of course. The camp has now been taken over by the green-skinned orcs. I would advise you to stay clear of this camp in Lake Rathe.

Welcome back, young Shin. I hope your training is going well. I have made note of your progress as best I can, and you are truly following in the footsteps of Marr with every day that passes. As a paladin of Marr we must uphold His name and destroy those that wish to bring evil upon our people. Under Marr, I am able to offer you an additional path for training, should you truly desire to follow the path of a [

Say: “paladin”

Very good. Initiates of the Knighthood of Marr must pass a series of tests. If you are devout and loyal to our cause you will be rewarded with our [ceremonial armor].

Say: “ceremonial armor”

We, the Shin Initiates, play an important role as mentors, healers, and warriors against evil in the Guktan Army. As a Shin Initiate all your battles should be fought in Marr's name. To show your homage to both Mithaniel Marr and our fellow brethren in the Guktan Army, young initiates are encouraged to complete a series of tasks that, when completed, will grant a set of Shin Initiate Armor. This armor shows your dedication and commitment to our cause. If you truly wish to walk in the path of The Truthbringer, I strongly suggest you complete your set of armor before venturing too far outside of the swamp. Are you [ready to begin]?

Say: “ready to begin”

Take this assembly kit. When you combine various items together in the assembly kit, you can create the different pieces of armor that you will need, such as [helm], [armguards], [breastplate], [bracers], [gauntlets], [legplates], and [boots]. If you would like to start crafting your armor, just tell me what piece you would like to craft and I will give you further instructions.

Say: “helm”

The Helm of the Shin Initiate is one of the more difficult parts of your armor that you will craft. Make sure you are prepared before you venture out to locate the needed items. To make your helm you will need to gather a Giant Snake Rattle, one Fungus Clump, one Spider Legs, and two Small Bricks of Ore from Innothule. If you cannot find any ore in the swamp, you might be able to find some ore for sale by visiting the local merchants. Once you have found these items, combine them in your assembly kit and take the newly created material to a forge, such as the one in the Gukta Exchange, along with this mold.

Say: “armguards”

To create armguards, go to Innothule and find a Giant Snake Rattle, two Snake Fangs, one Spiderling Legs, and one Small Brick of Ore. If you cannot find any ore in the swamp, you might be able to find some ore for sale by visiting the local merchants. Once you have found these items, combine them in your assembly kit and take the newly created material to a forge, such as the one in the Gukta Exchange, along with this mold.

Say: “breastplate”

This is the most difficult item that you will make. Please meditate on this and make sure you are ready before you begin. Through great perseverance and piety we are able to overcome almost any obstacle. To make a Breastplate of the Shin Initiate you will need to travel to the Common Lands, the Deserts of Ro, and Innothule Swamp and gather a Lightstone, one Pristine Giant Scarab Carapace, a Desert Tarantula Chitin, a Deathfist Slashed Belt, and two Small Bricks of Ore. If you cannot locate any ore in your travels, you might be able to find some ore for sale by visiting the local merchants. Once you have found these items, combine them in your assembly kit and take the newly created material to a forge, such as the one in the Gukta Exchange, along with this mold. After you have completed your Breastplate, come back to talk to me if you wish to perform your [final test].

Say: “bracers”

Creating bracers is a fairly easy task. However even the most basic of tasks are important when done in Marr's name. Gather one Snake Fang, one Zombie Skin, one Turquoise, and one Small Brick of Ore from the swamp. If you cannot locate any ore in the swamp, you might be able to find some ore for sale by visiting the local merchants. Once you have found these items, combine them in your assembly kit and take the newly created material to a forge, such as the one in the Gukta Exchange, along with this mold.

Say: “gauntlets”

Gauntlets are a good choice. Gauntlets of the Shin Initiate are fairly simple to craft. You will need to gather one Small Mosquito Wing, one Large Snake Skin, two Zombie Skins, and one Small Brick of Ore from Innothule. If you cannot find any ore in the swamp, you might be able to find some ore for sale by visiting the local merchants. Once you have found these items, combine them in your assembly kit and take the newly created material to a forge, such as the one in the Gukta Exchange, along with this mold.

Say: “legplates”

In the battle for Grobb, many of our brethren fell. Their lives lost so that we may carry on Marr's Blessing. To aid in your forthcoming battles you may want to begin constructing Legplates of the Shin Initiate. Be forewarned however that they are somewhat difficult to construct. You will need to venture to the Deserts of Ro and gather a Desert Tarantula Chitin, a Giant Snake Fang, a Pristine Giant Scarab Carapace, and three Small Bricks of Ore. If you cannot locate any ore in the swamp or desert, you might be able to find some ore for sale by visiting the local merchants. Once you have found these items, combine them in your assembly kit and take the newly created material to a forge, such as the one in the Gukta Exchange, along with this mold.

Say: “boots”

Very good. We, as paladins of Marr, have a duty to uphold Marr's teachings and be his voice to all who will listen. Though the crafting of Boots of the Shin Initiate are relatively easy to create, do not be idle in either thought or action. To craft your boots you will need to venture into the swamp and gather a few items. You will need to gather one Snake Fang, one Small Mosquito Wing, one Zombie Skin, and two Small Bricks of Ore. If you cannot locate any ore in the swamp, you might be able to find some ore for sale by visiting the local merchants. Once you have found these items, combine them in your assembly kit and take the newly created material to a forge, such as the one in the Gukta Exchange, along with this mold.

Say: “final task”

Not all of our brethren follow the ways of The Truthbringer. In fact, a once noble paladin of our cause has decided to betray us and side with the trolls. For what reason, I do not know. His name is Fipok Glubble. There have been numerous sightings of him in the swamp. He must be stopped before he can cause any harm to our people. If you can find him, bring me his head and I will reward you.

Say: “Hail”

Hail, forestwalker. Welcome to the Rathe bear preserve of the Unkempt Druids. We strive to protect nature with diligence and punish her [defilers] with prejudice!

There are many defilers of nature about that warrant eradication. Groi Gutblade is a loathsome troll poacher who lurks in South Karana. Slay him and bring me his Lionhide Backpack. Timbur the Tiny takes pride in crushing the trees in North Karana into pulp under his feet. Make him pay for this affront and bring me his Laceless Sandal as proof of his demise. I will give you my own blade if you succeed.

Wander away, tad. You do not have what it takes.

The Fist Strikes!

Say: “right place”

First things first. You need weapon practice. The army will take anyone who knows how to hold a pointy stick. A Guja, however, must know every means of combat. Go. Find some fights. Return to me when all your skills with blunt, slashing and piercing weapons have been honed to at least 75. Tell me then that you are [truly ready].

Wander away, tad. You do not have what it takes.

The Fist Strikes!

Say: “truly ready”

Good. That's a foundation we can build on. Now for your first round of training. A Guja must be adept at surviving in all forms of terrain. The swamp is warm, moist and comfortable. But you must learn to [live anywhere].

Ha! You're eager, but you're not ready. Go find some more fights.

Say: “live anywhere”

Extremes of temperature and humidity are the worst. Deserts, tundra and rocky terrain are our enemies. And so they shall be the first enemies you defeat. Take this pack. Go to Lavastorm, the Northern Desert of Ro, and distant Everfrost. Live in each for a time, taking your food from the land. Bring me back two [different examples] from each area to prove your skill.

Ha! You're eager, but you're not ready. Go find some more fights.

Say: “different examples”

From North Ro collect Blackrock Lichen and Dry Eye Weed. From Everfrost collect Ice Blood and Winter Lilly. And finally, from Lavastorm collect Stonefruit and Lava Pears. Combine them into a useful bundle and return once you've learned your way.

Ha! You're eager, but you're not ready. Go find some more fights.

Say: “really trained”

I see that you were right. Well, you'll need all of those skills for the next round of your training. You've proven you could survive where frogloks do not flourish. Now let's see how adept you are in our own elements. Go find Guja Master Therik in Lake Rathetear. And by in, I do mean IN. But watch out for the barbarians nearby. Ha! That old war dog. Take him this as a gift. I'm sure he'll get the joke.

Ha! You're eager, but you're not ready. Go find some more fights.

Say: “third notch”

Though the trolls represent a threat to our people, their threat is distant. The Lizardmen of The Feerrott, however, present a real and menacing danger. I know that they already feed on our young and plan our demise. But we will [act first].

Say: “act first”

We must learn how to fight them. We must learn how their dark lord changed them. Go, fight them at the footsteps of that black temple. Harvest their scales, their claws and their fangs. Get me three of each and put them in this bag. Turn the bag and your token in to me. It may take some time, but the blood you spill and the information you gain will help greatly. Now go.

Say: “another option”

The lizardmen have challenged us, demanding that you represent Gukta. Should you win, war will be averted and many lives spared. Of course, it may mean your [own life].

Say: “own life”

I applaud your bravery, $name. Come victory or death, you will always be remembered. Go to the obelisk bridge in front of the temple. Give your Guja Token to their emissary. It was the only sign they would accept to guarantee your identity. And it means you will only have one chance. Be wary. They are not to be trusted.

Many of us carry the sacred molds of the holy paladin armor. We will release it only to those who have proven themselves to each of our deities. If you seek it, speak up!! Tell us which part you seek. I carry the secret of the [Helm of Ro]. The others carry those of vambraces, breastplates, bracers, gauntlets, greaves and boots of Ro.

To receive the mold of the Helm of Ro you must first demonstrate your strength. Go to the plains of thunder. There you shall hunt down the most vile creatures I have ever encountered. Seek the undead cyclopes. I have spied them in the most dangerous portions of my realm. Fetch me two of their skulls.

Say: “lord searfire”

Lord Searfire is a great forge master. He was called forth to the land of fire lakes. It is said that he now toils in the name of Solusek Ro within a hidden temple of that land. He and he alone knows how to obtain [ronium], a needed component for forging the sacred Armor of Ro.

Say: “hail”

Salutations. Come sit with me and have a drink. I am just going over some [business] right now.

Say: “business”

You look like a stout follower of Marr's teachings. This document was just delivered to me. It seems the Paladins in Freeport wish for us to assist them. Let's see what this scroll says.

Hmm, yes. Interesting. Most unfortunate. Have you ever heard of Castle [Mistmoore]?

Say: “mistmoore”

It is an ancient castle on the continent of Faydwer, eternally covered in magical darkness. The castle's origins are shrouded in mystery to this day. According to this scroll, many years ago, Sir Bronthas, a Paladin of Marr took up the crusade to wipe Castle Mistmoore and its minions off the map once and for all. After a tiring journey he finally made his way to the castle. He was never heard from again. Rumors say that the brave if not foolish knight was killed and then raised from the dead to serve Lord Mistmoore. Still others say that his bones were used to decorate the dark halls of the castle. Truth be said, no one really knows what happened to him. That is why the Paladins in Freeport need our [assistance].

Say: “assistance”

They wish for us to venture to the castle and find any sign of what happened to Sir Bronthas. I am afraid however that I was wounded in the war with the Trolls and can no longer fight and Shin Master Grubbus has his hands full training the influx of new recruits. Perhaps you could find some time to [look into this] for us?

Say: “look into this”

You are a true follower of Marr. However I worry for your safety. If you do accept this task, please make sure you are ready. The castle is a deadly place. Should you find any trace of Sir Bronthas's remains, please bring them back to me. There is apparently a reward for completing this. Marr's blessing be with you.

Hmm... there is something about

Say: “Hail”

Welcome back, young Yun. I hope your training is going well. Unfortunately, I have been unable to keep up to date on your progress, but should you need advanced training in any individual skills, I am here to help you with that. As well, I am here to help guide you through your growth as a Shaman in the Guktan Army. The spirits will also be your guide, and with the skills that you learn here, you will be better equipped to serve the Army. If you plan on following the path of a [Shaman], I have some tasks for you to complete, if it suits your interest.

Say: “shaman”

I thought as much. I am glad that you have chosen to become a Shaman. Let's get started on your training. I will give you a list of items that you will need to collect, as well as a magical assembly kit in which to combine these items. Once you have successfully combined the items, it will create a material that you will use to craft a suit of armor that will protect you from the dangers of the training grounds. If you are ready to begin your task, I will give you the assembly kit and instructions for collecting the items required to craft your armor. Are you ready to receive your [assembly kit]?

Say: “assembly kit”

Excellent, then it is time that we get started. Here is the assembly kit used to combine the different items required to craft your own Yun Initiate's Armor. Each piece of armor will require different items to craft. These items will be available from both our outpost, as well as the training grounds near here. When you are ready to receive a recipe for a specific material, simply tell me which armor piece you [wish to craft]. I hold the recipes for Yun Initiate's [Helms], [Bracers], [Boots], [Armguards], [Legplates], [Gloves] and [Breastplates]. Keep in mind that the items required to make some of the larger pieces of armor will be a bit more difficult to get. You may want to wait until you are more experienced before attempting to obtain the components.

Say: “helm”

Wise choice, young recruit. The helm is one of the most important pieces of armor that one could ever hope to obtain. Protection of your head at all times is a must. To create the material needed to craft your helm, you will need to gather a water moccasin tail, two mosquito eyes, and a chunk of digested earth, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to combine the items together in a forge, along with this mold, to craft your Helm of the Yun Initiate.

Say: “bracers”

A bracer is a simple, but effective piece of armor. It enables some deflection of small blows to the wrists in melee-based combat. The bracer is one of the most basic sections of armor to craft, as well as being the easiest of all the armor pieces to collect the correct items. To create the material needed to craft your bracer, you will need to gather a crab spider's carapace, the poison sack of a bleeder, and two airborne spores, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the resulting material, you will need to combine it together in a forge, along with this mold, to craft your Bracer of the Yun Initiate.

Say: “boots”

A pair of boots would be a wise choice for a young recruit. Our training grounds are often dangerous, and plagued with various perils. Boots would offer some excellent protection for your feet, as well as some protection from the elements. To create the material needed to craft your boots, you will need to gather two kobold talons, an amulet from an undead froglok, and a ball of pulpy fungus, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Boots of the Yun Initiate.

Say: “armguards”

Armguards are one of the pieces of armor that no froglok should be without! They offer protection for the arms, and some for the shoulders, as well. A good thing if a block goes awry! To create the material needed to craft your armplates, you will need to gather two chunks of mosquito meat, a large fungal spore, and a giant snake fang, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Armplates of the Yun Initiate.

Say: “gloves”

Excellent! Gauntlets are the choice of smart recruits. One of the first things that one should do is protect your hands, since your hands are very important, especially in melee combat! To create the material needed to craft your gauntlets, you will need to gather two pristine bleeder skins, one crab spiderling fang, a mushroom spore, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Gauntlets of the Yun Initiate.

Say: “breastplates”

You wish to craft a breastplate? Do you think you are skilled enough to obtain the materials needed to craft it? Well, I hope that you aren't wrong; it would be tragic if we lost a recruit because he was too zealous, too soon. Regardless, as you have asked, I will give you the recipe to craft the breastplate. To create the material needed to craft your breastplate, you will need to gather two burly kobold ears, some moccasin poison, and two bull alligator spines, and combine them in your assembly kit. Once you have the correct material, you will need to forge the items together, along with this mold, to craft your Breastplate of the Yun Initiate. After you have completed your breastplate, I may have another [task] for you to complete.

Say: “task”

I speak of this with you, only because I believe you have proven yourself to be a recruit of impeccable reputation, and feel that you will not let me down. Not long ago, a small artifact was lost, though the details of how were never discovered. What we do know, is that a small band of froglok traitors, and exiles took the item. The artifact was not extremely powerful, it had more sentimental value than anything else, but, if you could retrieve it, you would save me the trouble of having to hunt them down myself.

Say: “hail”

Ahh, so you have returned to me with your shield. It appears to have gotten some good use in the recent months. Before I can get to work on your shield, I need a few components. Would you mind [retrieving the components] for me?

You sure are rough on shields, arent you?! No matter, I am sure that I can reinforce the shield enough to get you a few more years out of it, but this wont be easy. I have been expecting a shipment of supplies that have not yet arrived. The shipment left Erudin last week, but I've not received it, and I fear the worst for my assistant. If you are [up to the task], I could certainly use you to research the problem, and in exchange for your services I will upgrade your shield one final time.

Say: “shield”

It's quite simple and surprisingly effective. Bring me some [Stretched Kobold Leather], a [Bundle of Faydark Twigs], a [Bundle of Thicket Twigs], and some [Leathery Twine] and I'll weave you one in a frog's blink. It is the least I can do for a fellow spiritist.

Say: “leathery twine”

For the best twine I've found that the medium quality skin from a bear and a pair of spider silks does the trick. You will need a skinning knife, of course.

Say: “retrieving the components”

A brave young initiate, indeed. This task may prove to be a bit daunting, but the items I require are quite rare, and are not available in this section of the world. Return to me with a [chunk of prismatic metal], a [chunk of refined metal], a [shield frame mold], in addition to your initiates shield, and then I will get to work rebuilding your shield for you!

Say: “chunk of prismatic metal”

This particular type of metal is very difficult to come by, and has only ever been reported to me as being found in the caverns of Permafrost. Last I heard, some sort of sage or something had been hoarding it for some sort of experiment that he was working on. If you can find the sage, you'll find the metal.

Say: “chunk of refined metal”

The refined material has only ever been found in the depths of Unrest Mansion. It is regretful, but I cannot recall what, or who was guarding this item, but I'm sure, if you explored the mansion thoroughly, you would find some.

Say: “frame mold”

Ahh, the mold, yes. . . Unfortunately, I do not know exactly where one would obtain one of these particularly useful molds. I used to know a smith in Halas, he may have one, you might go speak with him. Tell him that I sent you.

Say: “up to the task”

I thought you might be. As I said before, the shipment left out of Erudin last week sometime, and has not been seen or heard from since. As you well know, that boat could be anywhere from Erudin to Qeynos. Do what you can, and return to me when you have made some progress.

Say: “hail”

It's always a pleasure to meet new faces, but if you'll excuse me I'm waiting for someone more attuned to the spirits.

Say: “shield”

It's always a pleasure to meet new faces, but if you'll excuse me I'm waiting for someone more attuned to the spirits.

It's always a pleasure to meet new faces, but if you'll excuse me I'm waiting for someone more attuned to the spirits.

Say: “bundle of faydark twigs”

It's always a pleasure to meet new faces, but if you'll excuse me I'm waiting for someone more attuned to the spirits.

Say: “hail”

You must give me the remains of that creature.
