    You say, 'Hail, Captain Tarief

    Captain Tarief says 'Well met, have you [come to aid] us in hunting the hoppers of the thicket?

    You say, 'I have come to aid you

    Captain Tarief says 'If you are preparing to hunt, then there are a few things you should know. Some of the hoppers have unique abilities. Knowledge of these abilities can mean the difference between life and death. I will tell you a little bit about them if you [wish to listen.]

    You say, 'I wish to listen

    Captain Tarief says 'A wise choice, it is good to learn all that you can of the prey before initiating the hunt. Such a tactic is vital when you set out for larger game. Learn of your prey's strengths and weaknesses and you shall have the upper hand. Saurek's may all seem similar to one another at first glance, but this is not the case. Such a mistake has left many Taruun dead. I have learned that the darkclaw saureks have venom dripping from their claws. There are a few other [unique qualities] to the saureks as well.

    You say, 'What unique qualities?

    Captain Tarief says 'Each of the saureks have their own unique set of scales. I am able to tell which saurek my trainees have managed to hunt successfully by the scale they return to me. Feel free to join in our lesson or the hunt. I hope that you will benefit from my advice. Hunt well Tnan.

    At this point you are directed to speak to the Captain's four Trainees; Trainee Paelin, Trainee Jonkar, Trainee Naria, and Trainee Bargadin.



    You say, 'Hail, Trainee Paelin'

    Trainee Paelin says 'It is an honor to meet a fellow hunter. I am training to learn how to hunt down the [saurek] that roam the thicket. It is our duty as taruun to provide food for our kin. I plan on claiming captain Tarief's [reward].'

    You say, 'saurek'

    Trainee Paelin says 'The Saurek hoppers are far more aggressive than the needle clawed hoppers. We must hunt them down and kill them lest they attack our families and traders that wander through these thickets. They have many uses to us as well. Their meat gives us food to eat, and their hides make strong protective armor.'

    You say, 'reward'

    Trainee Paelin says 'Captain Tarief has offered to reward those that slay four of the saurek hoppers. You must return four of their scales to him as proof of your deeds to claim the reward. I hope to bring honor to my family by returning home with such a trophy.'

    Turn in four Saurek Hopper Scales to Captain Tarief for a pair of Hunting Leather Boots.

    Captain Tarief says 'What have we here? Aha! Look here everyone. Hazan has returned victorious! Well done. You are entitled to the reward for slaying the Saurek Hoppers. I hope all my trainees turn out as skilled as you. Perhaps you should consider hunting more difficult prey from now on.' Captain Tarief hands Hazan a pair of masterfully tailored hunting boots.'

    Your faction standing with Guardians of Shar Vahl has been adjusted by 1.
    You gain experience!!



    You say, 'Hail, Trainee Jonkar'

    Trainee Jonkar says 'Well met Hazan. Pay close attention to Captain Tarief's words of advice. It takes a skillful hunter to kill a Saurek [Darkclaw]. His advice could mean the difference between life and death.'

    You say, 'Darkclaw'

    Trainee Jonkar says 'The darkclaws are nasty beasts. Their claws are much thicker than the smaller saureks. Tarief has offered a reward to any that return with four of their scales to him. Don't get any ideas now. That reward is mine, I assure you.'

    Turn in four Saurek Darkclaw Scales to Captain Tarief for a Hunting Leather Bracer.

    Captain Tarief says 'So the hunter returns victorious. Well done! You have earned yourself a hunting bracer to protect you from the claws of the hoppers. I am sure many of your companions will revel in the feast you are able to provide them with the meat you have collected.'

    Your faction standing with Guardians of Shar Vahl has been adjusted by 1.
    You gain experience!!



    You say, 'Hail, Trainee Naria'

    Trainee Naria says 'Have you noticed the vicious Saurek [Shredders] out in the thicket? I wouldn't want to hunt one of those nasty things.'

    You say, 'Shredders'

    Trainee Naria says 'The shredder has been known tear young hunters apart in mere seconds. I would stay far away from those things if I were you. Tarief has offered a reward for any that bring him four of their scales, but I just don't think it would be worth facing such a beast in battle. The meat from the smaller ones are just as good to eat if you want my opinion.'

    Turn in four Saurek Shredder Scales to Captain Tarief for some Hunting Leather Sleeves.

    Captain Tarief blinks in astonishment. 'Perhaps the true shredder was you this time around Hazan' He chuckles, 'Well done, you have earned the reward.' Tarief hands Hazan a pair of masterfully tailored hunting sleeves. 'Be sure to have your battle wounds tended to. I am sure you have many scars to show from hunting those shredders.'

    You gain experience!!



    You say, 'Hail, Trainee Bargidin'

    Trainee Bargidin says, 'Alas, I have little will to talk right now. It is a [sad time].'

    You say, 'sad time'

    Trainee Bargidin says, 'My good friend Torin ventured into the thicket alone a few days ago. There's been no sign of him since. I fear the [saurek deathmaws] have done him in.'

    You say, 'saurek deathmaws'

    Trainee Bargidin says, 'The deathmaws would be the only creature in the thicket that could possibly kill Torin. He could handle just about any other hopper, but few can survive a deathmaw attack. [Reward] or no, I vow I will someday slay those beasts... I'll kill them if it's the last thing I do.'

    You say, 'Reward'

    Trainee Bargidin says, 'Tarief has offered a pair of masterfully tailored leggings to anyone who can provide him with four saurek deathmaw scales. If you decide to undertake such a dangerous task, please try to find out what happened to Torin. He deserves a good burial at least.'

    Hand in x4 Saurek Deathmaw Scales to Captain Tarief.

    Captain Tarief is clearly beside himself with disbelief. 'I never imagined it could be done, _____. You've managed to survive, and indeed, emerge victorious, against the dreaded saurek deathmaw! Many of them.' Tarief hands _____ a pair of masterfully tailored hunting leather leggings. 'Wear these with pride. I know that Torin, wherever he is, is thankful that you avenged his death.'

    Okay, just double checked today, 1/26, and they updated the text for Trainee Bargidin for this part.

    Okay, Norton keeps coming up that your setup.exe is a virus and constantly quarantines and removes it. So I am not comfortable installing it in my pc.

    It's giving a false positive because it's a unknown program to them so it automatically flags it due to the way it reads information from the game. We have submitted the program to the Norton Community and are waiting for them to enter it into their system.

    Thanks for the info. Sadly, no matter what I do, even allowing it and removing from quarantine, Norton refuses to run it. Maybe someone else can get the info for you.

    Like the claws, you need to talk to the Trainees after the Captain. So here is the text:

    [Thu Oct 06 14:41:52 2016] You say, 'Hail, Captain Tarief'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:41:52 2016] Captain Tarief says 'Well met, have you [come to aid] us in hunting the hoppers of the thicket?'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:41:57 2016] You say, 'come to aid'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:41:58 2016] Captain Tarief says 'If you are preparing to hunt, then there are a few things you should know. Some of the hoppers have unique abilities. Knowledge of these abilities can mean the difference between life and death. I will tell you a little bit about them if you [wish to listen.]'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:42:11 2016] You say, 'wish to listen.'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:42:12 2016] Captain Tarief says 'A wise choice, it is good to learn all that you can of the prey before initiating the hunt. Such a tactic is vital when you set out for larger game. Learn of your prey's strengths and weaknesses and you shall have the upper hand.

    [Thu Oct 06 14:42:40 2016] You say, 'unique qualities'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:42:41 2016] Captain Tarief says 'Each of the saureks have their own unique set of scales. I am able to tell which saurek my trainees have managed to hunt successfully by the scale they return to me. Feel free to join in our lesson or the hunt. I hope that you will benefit from my advice. Hunt well Hazan.'
    ~~
    And now for the trainees in the tent:
    .
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:00 2016] You say, 'Hail, Trainee Paelin'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:00 2016] Trainee Paelin says 'It is an honor to meet a fellow hunter. I am training to learn how to hunt down the [saurek] that roam the thicket. It is our duty as taruun to provide food for our kin. I plan on claiming captain Tarief's [reward].'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:13 2016] You say, 'saurek'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:13 2016] Trainee Paelin says 'The Saurek hoppers are far more aggressive than the needle clawed hoppers. We must hunt them down and kill them lest they attack our families and traders that wander through these thickets. They have many uses to us as well. Their meat gives us food to eat, and their hides make strong protective armor.'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:31 2016] You say, 'reward'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:31 2016] Trainee Paelin says 'Captain Tarief has offered to reward those that slay four of the saurek hoppers. You must return four of their scales to him as proof of your deeds to claim the reward. I hope to bring honor to my family by returning home with such a trophy.'

    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:46 2016] You say, 'Hail, Trainee Jonkar'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:46 2016] Trainee Jonkar says 'Well met Hazan. Pay close attention to Captain Tarief's words of advice. It takes a skillful hunter to kill a Saurek [Darkclaw]. His advice could mean the difference between life and death.'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:56 2016] You say, 'Darkclaw'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:43:56 2016] Trainee Jonkar says 'The darkclaws are nasty beasts. Their claws are much thicker than the smaller saureks. Tarief has offered a reward to any that return with four of their scales to him. Don't get any ideas now. That reward is mine, I assure you.'

    [Thu Oct 06 14:44:10 2016] You say, 'Hail, Trainee Naria'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:44:10 2016] Trainee Naria says 'Have you noticed the vicious Saurek [Shredders] out in the thicket? I wouldn't want to hunt one of those nasty things.'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:44:17 2016] You say, 'Shredders'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:44:17 2016] Trainee Naria says 'The shredder has been known tear young hunters apart in mere seconds. I would stay far away from those things if I were you. Tarief has offered a reward for any that bring him four of their scales, but I just don't think it would be worth facing such a beast in battle. The meat from the smaller ones are just as good to eat if you want my opinion.'

    For some reason, Bargdin didn't talk when I originally hailed him, so I had to try a few things before he did

    [Thu Oct 06 14:44:39 2016] You say, 'Hail, Trainee Bargidin'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:45:01 2016] You say, 'Deathmaw'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:45:01 2016] Trainee Bargidin says 'The deathmaw would be the only thing that could kill Torin. He could handle just about any other hopper, but I don't think very many can survive a deathmaw attack. [Reward] be damned, I vow I will someday slay those beasts if it the last thing I do.'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:45:16 2016] You say, 'Reward'
    [Thu Oct 06 14:45:16 2016] Trainee Bargidin says 'Tarief has offered a pair of magically crafted leggings to any that can return with four of the deathmaw scales. If you decide to take on such a deadly task, please try to find out what happened to Torin. He deserves a good burial at least.'

    I wasn't able to find any info about Torin from anyone there, unless I was wording it wrong.

    I will be doing so soon once I get a few more!

    Okay, all quests but the hand in for the Saurek Deathmaw Scales work. I tried handing in in a stack, singly, and even to the Trainee, but nothing works.

    I tried talking to Torin about all manner of names things, etc and could get nothing out of him. I gave him one deathmaw scale and he just kept it and kept silent.

    So I killed him and got the necklace and my scale back. I am certain this is not the right guy.

    1. He is not Vah Shir. I am certain THE Torin is Vah Shir.
    2. He doesnt accept either conversation OR the scales. I think if he were correct, there would be SOME indication with all I did.
    3. We are not told to give them to Torin, but to find out what happened to him. I think we have to go around and ask about him to others.

    Lets solve this!!!

    Perhaps you need to hand the four deathmaw claws into some other npc to get Torrin's remains. Then you turn that into Tarief?

    Torin is a mob located in the mutant section of Echo Caverns. He drops a choker(4 ac and some stats or a brass instrument, 4 dex, 20 hps and bonus to wind instruments). I do not know whether any of these items would trigger anything from the people in Shadeweaver Thicket or whether saying anything to Torin will trigger any quest text. Torin does not respond to hails, bt have not tried any text mentioning names from Shadeweaver.

    Might be stupid question , but where is Capt. Tarief located?
    Torin not found
    # Jan 17 2002 at 6:21 AM Rating: Default
    I have been working on the Western side of the mtns on Shadeweavers for some time. Torin does not seem to be located in the abandoned graveyard, or near the Arabian looking building in the SouthWest. No ideas where he might be. Combed the catacombs at lower levels (before aggro from the Tegi), and nothing there either. This one's still a mystery.

    As far as the scales go, I've probably looted over 100 Saurek, 60 Shredder, and 40 Deathmaw scales total, only have ONE claw beast talon in all that time. The stupid things are rarer than epics, if you ask me.

    As for the claws
    # Jan 07 2002 at 2:54 PM Rating: Default
    Well I really wanted to see what the maces were for the claws so I went after deathmaws and Shredders and Mr. Claw Beast a-lot.

    I got the death maw mace first.

    5/34 1 Hand Blunt
    Prim Sec
    +2 Poison Dam

    That all for these rair claws...

    Well I pulled out my hair trying to get The claw beast to drop a claw. ( well its a Talon in his case )

    Killed the guy 17 times and on number 17 got the talon, and thus the weapon..

    6/30 1 hand blunt
    prim sec
    3 str 3 stm

    thats it, thats all you get. Plus No XP for ethier of these quests.

    # Jan 15 2002 at 12:13 AM Rating: Decent
    so you give the guy 3 of the same claw and the practice flail? . . . not three of each claw, the talon and the practice flail (11 items) like the quest guy actually asks for?
    RE: As for the claws
    # Jan 08 2002 at 1:51 PM Rating: Default
    Is this the quest the Beastlord trainer tells you about, and if so how many claws do you need to give him. I have the shredder claw and still need the deathmaw, clawed beast, and Firefall. Do you turn in the flail and 1 of the claws or what? Any info on how you got the Deathmaw and clawed beast flails will be healpful. And who can use it(Im assuming beastlords can use them too, would seem odd if they couldent)
    RE: As for the claws
    # Jan 13 2002 at 12:57 PM Rating: Default
    Yes it is the BL trainers quest. It takes 3 shredder claws ( have 2 still trying to get 3rd ) 3 deathmaw claws ( got the weapon ) 1 Claw beast Talon ( got this one as well ) and 3 firefall claws (still red to me at 18).

    Give me the right amount of claws and the flail and get a new weapon, but no xp.

    I will have to look and see what classes can use them sides BLs
    Finding Torin
    # Jan 04 2002 at 9:29 AM Rating: Default
    on the assumtion that Torin had been killed I hunted down a lot of Skeleton Hunters.

    Seemed Logic, they are apparently Va Shir,
    and the quest stuff is Hunters etc.

    But handing hin the sharp toothed jawbones in hope of him recognising these as belonging to Torin didn't do a thing.

    So the hunt for Torin is still on !

    I also went with the assumption that Torin was not going to be found alive, and initially thought that there was a possibility that Torin's remains might drop from a skeletal something. I quickly discarded that approach and concentrated my efforts on Saurek Deathmaws in the hopes that one might cough up his remains, so to speak, only to come up with more Deathmaw Scales that I cannot turn in and no sign of Torin.

    However, the idea of a tracker combing the entire zone looking for Torin to turn up alive has some merit. I just would hate for someone to waste all that time only to find that he is a rarish spawn and wanders for a bit before despawning. It certainly would not hurt, I suppose, for someone to pursue this further.

    I also have to give some further thought to someone's earlier post about Torin or his remains showing up down some tunnel, maybe in the Paludel Caverns. This is a distinct possibility.

    Until such time as Torin is located -- dead or alive -- I guess the Deathmaw Scales portion of this quest will remain "broken." I sincerely hope the reward for finding him and/or then turning in the Deathmaw Scales with proof of his fate will be worth all the effort.

    Sent my tracker out to look for Torin and no luck although there was a smelly corpse out there that seemed to be out of place but upon finding him he was a skellie like the rest and at the time did not think anything of it but possibly if killed he might have a clue to what happened to torin?
    RE: Finding Torin
    # Oct 31 2002 at 2:06 AM Rating: Good
    I've killed smelly corpses with my ranger a few times and if I remeber right, they don't say anything about Torin. Couple be wrong, though, as it's been a while since I was over that way.
    RE: Finding Torin
    # Jan 04 2002 at 5:08 PM Rating: Default
    Has anyone brought a tracker to the zone and had him search the zone over the mountains where everything is red? I have a ranger and may do some hunting there myself soon. I cant believe how difficult they have made some of these quests and the rarity of so many items for extremely low level rewards. I will post if I find anything.
    Hunting Leather Boots
    # Jan 03 2002 at 4:28 PM Rating: Default
    The boots are not as great as the Gholum(sp?) boots IMO. BUT, they are magical so that you can use kick against the Chitterlings which drop glowing wings (very similar to willowisps) the one I have for lighting right now sells to vender for 3pp. Also can be used to kill willows for the nice money quest.
    I'm very impressed by the new expansion... A lot of bugs but with the quests like these and even the weapons, professional lowbies like myself (never can get past level 29 without starting over) can have some decent equipment without twinking.

    different quest, but same mobs . . .. has anyone managed to collect the three each of the special claws from the deathmaws, shredders, and firefall saurek's (and the talon from the clawbeast) for the weapon quest?

    i and only seen one single claw (no drop, magic item) from a deathmaw, never from the shredders, and who the heck knows when i'll be able to kill a firefall. why do they drop so rarely? Ive spent a couple levels looking for them

    Well, the scales off of these guys are uncommon enough, because I still have not picked up four Deathmaw Scales, but I have somehow lucked into getting one each Deathmaw and Shredder claws, but that is all... ONE each in days of killing both types of Saurek. These are at least as rare as the Bloodbulk Carapaces, I guess, if not rarer.

    BTW, both of the claws dropped for me in the same general area where I also encountered both of the only two Bloodbulks I have ever seen, which is that region North by NorthWest of the merchants' building, left of the road and up on that plateau along which all the Saureks and many of the other MOBs travel.

    That is still a fairly large area to cruise looking for them, but it narrows it down some, I hope. I am going to spend a little time each playing session in the area pounding all the Deathmaw and Shredder Saureks I can find, plus hitting the Claw Beast (as it roams about a bit if not killed when it spawns) whenever I see it, too.

    AND while I am doing all of that, I am also hoping against the odds that I will somehow find Trainee Bardigin's long lost, presumed dead buddy, Torin.

    After talk to Trainee Bargidin Who ask you to help find his Friend Torin. I have been looking for Torin but have not found him. I think he is either a NPC corpse in the zone or hiding in the caves, but then again I have not been west of the mountians due to my level. If you find Torin Dead or Alive I think you will be able to complete the Quest. Good Luck

    The hunting leather sleeves (which you get for 4 shredder scales) are AC5 STR+2 svDisease+2.

    On this quest, you should try handing in your scales one at a time, since Tarief hands out the reward for the fourth of any given type of scale he receives, regardless of whether all 4 were received from the same player. This way, if there's some other thing you need to do besides giving him a specific kind of scale, you don't lose all 4, plus, if someone else gives him some number other than four, you can get the reward for fewer scales, and then give your extras to a newb.

    The NPC that tells you about Torin, specifically says Tarief offers a reward for Four Deathmaw scales. This NPC has flawed text then. As the NPC Tarief does not give a reward for those hard to get scales. :/

    # Dec 17 2001 at 6:20 PM Rating: Default
    The deathmaw scale quest isn't bugged i found out from a GM that Captain Tarief is not the NPC you hand them into i have tryed the trainee that tells about the deathmaw scales and he's not the right one but does say something about torin thing you need to find out what happened to him first
