Ivy Etched Leggings  

This quest is almost impossible to complete on TLPs. The island Wiltin spawns on is constantly swarmed by level 50s farming the Ancient Cyclops. Inevitably one of them will kill Wiltin's PH and reset the cycle, meaning you won't get another chance at his rare spawn for 2 hours. I suppose you may find luck if you're willing to camp at 3 am when there are fewer people around, but at that point, just farm 1k plat and buy the Mithril legs.

Also, the arrows take about 3ish hours to camp, 2 of them are rarer than the rest, and the brownies are rare spawns themselves. I ended up with 3-7 of each other arrow before I got the rare one.

TLDR; These legs arent worth the time investment.

In the north central part of Kithicor Forest, find Leaf Falldim (location +1393, +2279).

At the completion of the Ivy Etched Gauntlets quest, Leaf makes reference to a subsequent quest that gives the Ivy Etched Leggings.

Target Leaf Falldim and...

You say, 'what ivy etched leggings?'

Leaf Falldim says 'I will make you an offer. If you be a ranger, as they are made for only a ranger, you must venture to Faydwer. There you shall seek out Lieutenant Leafstalker of the Kelethin army. He sent a message of his retrieval of the Quiver of Kithicor. Tell him you want it and return it to me. Oh... and one more [small item].'

You say, 'what small item?'

Leaf Falldim says 'Along with the quiver you shall journey to Erudin and purchase a Star of Odus gem to add to the quiver. Consider the coins you shall spend an offering to the woods.'

Travel to the city of Kelethin within Greater Faydark. Lieutenant Leafstalker is a wood elf guard that roams the platforms of Kelethin near the ranger guild hall.

You say, 'Hail, Lieutenant Leafstalker'

Lieutenant Leafstalker says 'Hail!! Respect all laws in Kelethin and her territory and you shall live a fruitful life.'

You say, 'i want the quiver of kithicor'

Lieutenant Leafstalker says 'Ummm.. I have some bad news. I did find it, but a band of brownie outcasts came in the night, took [all of the arrows] from the quiver and ran back to the forest they came from. As if that were not enough, while I was hot on their little heels, the thief [Wiltin Windwalker] came into Kelethin and took the quiver itself. Whew!! What a day!'

You say, 'what of all the arrows?'

Lieutenant Leafstalker says 'All of the arrows are gone. You must get the arrows of recognition, acknowledgment, defiance, gallantry, bravery and fortitude. Get them from the brownie outcasts and combine them in the quiver.'

You say, 'who is wiltin windwalker?'

Lieutenant Leafstalker says 'Wiltin Windwalker!! Traitor he is! He left Kelethin to join the Pirates of Gunthak. I heard news that the Royal Navy of Ak'Anon sank the pirate ship he was on in the Ocean of Tears. What I don't get is where those little gnomes moor their ships. They have no harbor!! But that is another story.'

Head to Lesser Faydark. Brownie outcasts (the exact name is a brownie outcast) are random spawns around the Pixie Tower (location +1340, +2840). The place holders are pixie tricksters and pixie pranksters. Killing these in the area near the Pixie Tower will cause brownie outcasts to spawn.

Keep killing brownie outcasts until you have at least one, each, of: Arrow of Acknowledgment, Arrow of Bravery, Arrow of Defiance, Arrow of Fortitude, Arrow of Gallantry, and Arrow of Recognition. Each of these arrows is NO TRADE. However, they are not LORE and are stackable to 100 per stack just like all other arrows.

Note: The pixie merchants located inside the tower on the upper floor are not on Pixie faction. So, killing the tricksters and pranksters will not affect your ability to buy and sell from the pixie merchants in the tower.

After collecting at least one of each of the six arrows, head to Seafury Island in the Ocean of Tears to find Wiltin Windwalker (location +2022, -3615). His placeholder is 'a buccaneer'.

You begin casting Ensnare.
Wiltin Windwalker says 'Dead men tell no tales!!'
Wiltin Windwalker has been ensnared.

<combat>

Your faction standing with Pirates Of Gunthak got worse.
Your faction standing with Inhabitants of Firiona Vie got better.

Wiltin Windwalker's corpse says 'You have run me through! Beware the Pirates of Gunthak.. They will avenge me. . . Unngh!!'
You have slain Wiltin Windwalker!

--You have looted a Quiver of Kithicor - open.--

The 'Quiver of Kithicor - open' is a 6-slot container. Place one, each, of the six arrows looted previously from the brownie outcasts into this quiver and click Combine. You will now have a 'Quiver of Kithicor - full' which is not a container.

Head to the continent of Odus. Enter Erudin Palace and find the merchant, Anite Gemcutter (location +784, +599, -13). Buy one Star of Odus from her.

Head back to Kithicor forest and return to Leaf Falldim. Give him the Star of Odus and the closed Quiver of Kithicor.

Leaf Falldim says 'Wonderful!! I see he did find it. How lucky we are that he did all the hard work. My thanks to you are embodied in these ivy etched leggings. Now you may [earn the ivy etched boots] to go along with them.'

Your faction standing with Kithicor Residents got better.
Your faction standing with Protectors of Pine got better.
Your faction standing with Jaggedpine Treefolk got better.
Your faction standing with Unkempt Druids got worse.
You gain experience!!

You now have the Ivy Etched Leggings. Enjoy!

Wiped tricksters and pransters, got all 6 arrows and a couple of double drops in an hour.
Jongliers(sp) are not to be killed, nasty faction hit
Now on to the island.

Only trick i saw was go in cirle and wipe all pixie tricksters and pranksters you can find, if possibe a druid , ranger combo, both tracking , mainly for fast spotting and killing outcasts when they pop

OK, now that I have the completed quiver<full> and Star Of Odus, Lt. Leafwalker keeps rejecting my items. Have made several attempts to give him the items and no leggings. Whats up. Contacted a GM and was told Quest incomplete. Please send a email to me at bradcooke@zipnet.us so I can learn how to complete this Quest. Am Really sure that There are better leggings out there, but cant afford them atm so am Questing.
Thank you.

I bumbled my around OOT until I finally had a guildie give me directions. I knew at level 31, I'd have a tough time. I bought 3 stacks of bait because I planned on a long camp. Lo and behold, there he was, I snared him, rooted, dotted, then kept kiting with my bow until Stinging Swarm wore off, at which point I re-rooted and re-dotted. He was down to 2 bubs before I even meleed, and then it was only because I was OOM. After killing him, I saw I'd lost less than 2 bubs of health at level 31.
I was equiped with hooked, ceramic, wood vaned, small knocked arrows (DMG 5), and a carved Elm Recurve Bow. My primary hand was using a Shaded Blade (purchased only an hour before) and secondary was a Centi Short Sword. It felt good to kill a quest yellow, and I got the quiver.

Just killed wiltin I followed the instuctions on the board regarding Lt. Leafstaker and sure enough the next day he poped. Had a high lvl druid kill him for me i didn't wanna run the risk of kiting him with all the fury's around. Then i proceeded to Lfay and started kill pixes and sure enough the outcasts started to spawn . They were red and yellow to me and the do heal themselves i did manage to solo a red one by doting and arrow kiting them. They are a hell of a fight at lvl 30. The yellow cons go down easy enough but the reds cons are more then a handful. I have 3/6 of the arrows left . Wish me luck :)

The Star of Odus is in Eudin in the gem shop directly across from the bank. I found it on the vendor that sells...ummm....gems...down towards the end of her inventory.

The Bucaneer does still spawn, whether Willtin is a triggered spawn or not, I have no clue, was there with my shaman and my wife was there with her druid killing furbies and Willtin spawned back to back, we both killed, looted and ran the quest for our rangers.

And last, if someone was there kiting Gornit, they have no clue what they are doing, you don't kite on Seafury Isle. But you are correct, watch out for him, he pops for up to 90 a hit and hits very fast, a huge undercon.

I believe I have the record.
Cast Lev on myself at BB dock, as boat pulled up. Rode boat into OOT zone, then ran to Seafury Isle. Wiltin was up, and ready for death. I watched the boat pass by as he fell dead upon the ground. Looted the quiver and pirate earring, and (still lev'd), ran after boat and caught it ) total time for quiver: approx. 5 minutes.
Happened to get all 6 arrows within 10-11 brownies, which were popping every 5-10 minutes as I kept the prankster population down.

p.s. I also quested the arms, and made my Trueshot on the first attempt this same week. Fletching ~ 150 something

At level 41, I had no problem soloing the brownie outcasts, or Wiltin Windwalker.
I simply repeatedly blasted them with careless lightning for 99dmg as I fought them, then hit them with quick-snare (tangling weeds) when they started to run.
The brownies never got me down past 2 bubbles of health or mana.

Having spent the last 3 days (real-life) camping Wiltin Windwalker I thought I would share what I have learned.

I camped the Buccaneer every game day (90 minutes) and he did despawn at 8AM - religiously. At a little after 10am, he would spawn back. I tried killing him sometimes, other not. But I learned is this. If the buccaneer is killed before midnight, he will spawn back at 10am the next morning. If he is not killed, he will despawn at 8AM and respawn at 10am. IF you kill him AFTER MIDNIGHT he will not spawn the next morning. I believe this is why some people have seen longer spawn times than others and has resulted in some people saying to kill or not to kill. The reality - the buccaneer is just a place holder and nothing needs to be done.

I also learned (I believe) how to trigger Wiltin. After spending all day for 3 real life days camping every single game morning for Wiltin - I can guarantee you that he is not a random spawn. Having witnessed over 25 mornings with no Wiltin, he is not coming without prodding. So here is what I did.

1) I camped on Seafury island.
2) I created a noob wood-elf ranger in Kelethin.
3) Made sure it was around NOON game time. Can probably go as late as 4pm.
4) Using track - located Lieutenant Leafstalker on platforms in Kelethin.
5) Said to leafstalker "What Quiver of Kithicor" and he started the story
6) Said to leafstalker "What all of the arrows" and he continued
7) Said to leafstalker "Wiltin Windwalker" and he finished.
8) Camped noob Ranger.
9) Entered as Primary character camped on Seafury Island.
10) At 8PM the buccaneer despawned. This NEVER HAPPENED UNTIL I TALKED TO LEAFSTALKER. I was looking at him so I know it was a despawn and not killed by someone else
11) The next morning at 11am Buccaneer spawned again.
12) Left Buccaneer alone - did NOT kill em
13) Waited 1 more game day (90 minute camp). Next morning Wiltin spawned.

At this point I actually did not kill em. I waited and watched. At this point he started to spawn 2 of 3 times once the cycle started until he was killed. After he was killed he no longered spawned at all in the morning.

I believe this explains why so many people have seen different, but seemingly related events when camping Wiltin.

Hopefully this information will save someone the agrevation of camping Wiltin in the near future. My best advice in camping Wiltin:

1) Just when you think it is broken and ready to petition - wait one more game day )
2) Make friends with anyone else on the island - just in case. I was a level 32 Ranger and he conned even - took him with snare and a small amount of kiting (easier when someone is farming Gornit) and lost only a bubble and a half in health.

You are welcome to send me mail with any questions. xev_websols@hotmail.com. You can also find me online on the Xev server, character name Websols Kegmeister.

Good Luck!

Greetings all young aspiring Rangers, I have revamped my personal webpage, gearing it towards providing helpful information for the young rangers. I have added a full new page that is dedicated to the Etched Ivy Armor Quests. It is my hope that this new page will help young rangers to complete the quests. Cheers!

First, you do not have to do the gloves quest first. I did, but you just need to give Leaf Falldim the right items to receive the reward. You do not have to engage him in conversation.

Second, regarding Wiltin Windwalker, here's my experience: I arrived on the island at 7am game time. Wiltin's PH "a buccaneer" was standing in the pirate's camp. At 8am game time he de-spawned. Everything was going according to plan. I waited and kept hitting track. Soon it was 12p Noon game time and there was no re-spawning of "a buccaneer" and no sign of Wiltin either.

So, I waited till another game day passed. The next game morning at 7a "a buccaneer" spawned again. Like clockwork, at 8a "a buccaneer" de-spawned. Then, a few minutes later in between 9a and 10a Wiltin spawned.

A kind Druid that was camping Gornit killed Wiltin for me (and saved me from Gornit when he spawned right at my pulling spot) and I got my quiver.

So, based on my experiences, the only thing that I saw consistently happen was "a buccaneer" de-spawning at 8a game time. The re-spawn time for Wiltin was 3 to 6 minutes (real time) after the buccaneer’s second de-spawning, and 75 - 78 minutes after the first de-spawn. So, all in all, this camp only took about 80 minutes total (not counting the trips I took to scout the locations, etc.).

Now, regarding camping the brownie outcasts. I had a level 36 Pally and myself (level 30 Ranger). We could easily kill the Pixie Tricksters and Pranksters and force the Brownie Outcasts to spawn. We ran into two "gotchas." First, if Equestrielle the Corrupted is in the zone, her pathing takes her right past the Pixie Tower. Ouch and run for MM zone several times. Also, about every third or fourth spawn, the Outcasts came in two's instead of by themselves. When two of these little monsters spawn, a group of two really cannot take them. We had to ask for help from higher levels camping the zone to clear the spawns.

Also, I had about 4 duplicate lore items all told. So, we had to kill 10 Outcasts to get all the arrows.

However, combining the arrows and the quiver and then turning them into Leaf Falldim was quite simple and these leggings rock!

I just read the posts about how difficult it was to get Wiltin to spawn. I had different results so might as well share them. When I arrived on the island, Wiltin was standing next to the tents on the far side. In fact the tent closest to the hill. I asked a high lvl to kill him (Brilliantly, you rock), she did. Got my quiver and caught next boat out. Total time: 15 minutes. Maybe this was the luckiest event ever, but I'm just writing so anyone who is discouraged by posts will actually give it a shot themselves.

As far as the arrows, it took me about 4 hours total to get all the arrows. A couple notes: Outcasts spawned much faster when I looted the pixies and in the entire time i was there, noone was ever killed by roaming high lvl brownies. Only when we went back and forth to pixie tower did someone get killed on journey
