Rain Caller  

Ok, my faction with the faeries is ok, but with ping its not so good. he is dubious, but won't sell to me. I can jst get a friend to buy the tonics for me, but when i have to hand him hair adn stuff, what will happen? Will it work if i sneak up behind him? I think that would work but would hate to blow the quest if i m not 100 percent sure, and feedback would be appreciated. 8D

Someone said this quest is no longer doable. Does anyone know that for a fact or is it just another ugly rumor?

I helped a guy because he was dying at the fairie camp and it bumped my faction down to Dubios. Are you still able to talk and get the stuff from Joleena with this faction, or is there any way to raise faction with fairies, or should I just give up this quest at this point?

The mermaid part was easy for me im a 25 ranger and i had a lvl 60 shammy friend we walked in kedge killed her and i got my hair whole thing took about 5 mins

Oh...sorry the last post titled Orchard Field was BY Orchard Field (me...I thought it wanted my name there!! SHould have been called Kinool Goldsinger.

This fact may not be for certain, but the Princess does have a 30 minute spawn time cycles. Every 30 minutes her ph despawns, and 5 mintues later either she or the ph will respawn. The Ph BTW is the "A Fairy Guard" the rest are spelled differently, indicating that guard is the ph. Well anyway, i asked "where is the princess?" Gearheart responded about she only appears during the day. So with this in mind i checked the time, 7am and the ph was gone, next hour (game time) she was there. So it is completely random basically, maybe you will get luck and get the 30 minute spawn which will result in a cycle in which the ph despawns during the day. Oh and i was the 50 ranger in the group mentioned below :P. It is worth it ranger 6str and 6dex on your range come on. Still have 16 lanterns hehe :P

If you need any help please give me a tell and I will be glad to help you.

Bow is Awesome :P, too bad you have to give up your Trueshot :(

From what I've read the mermaid isnt to terrible difficult. Would it be possible for a 44 ranger, a 44 druid, a 51 pally, and a 40 chanter to take her down?

I can't get this gut to really engage me in conversation. I have given him about ten lanterns and have gotten nothing in return, cept fer him saying "Thanks for the free merchandise" He did respond to me saying Treant wood, but told me I have to give him a Faydark Champions tunic and 2 gold pieces. Of course I dont want treant wood! What do I do?

how much is this bow worth maybe i can buy it?

Would a 53 Ranger and a 56 Bard be able to break in Kedge Keep and kill the mermaid? If we snare/fear it shouldn't be a problem right? We were in CS yesterday doing that, we killed them, and they were blue to 53 and light blue to 56.

After many levels of drooling after this, I finally got my bow. I would say the hardest part of the whole thing is fletching the Trueshot. My fletching is up to 168 and I still have not fletched one successfully, but happily, a guild sister had fletched one for me many seasons ago.

Here's the parts and here's how tough/not tough they are:

1) Trueshot. I have discussed this elsewhere on Allakhazam so I will not expand on it here; go to that page to look it up.

2) 3000gp, aka 300pp. Not a huge amount but remember you need GOLD not platinum.

3) Treant heart. See the Trueshot quest on how to get this too. Easy to get while you're running back and forth to Freeport.

4) Faerie dust, the other hard part because nobody likes to go to Kedge all that much (although I don't know why, I find it kind of fun to be in an underwater zone).

Start in Freeport and buy 10 of the Formula 5000 drinks and go straight to Ak'Anon. You can do this at ANY level so do this whenever you want. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN EMPTY SLOT at this point because you will get a container.

Way in the back of Ak'Anon - and I mean WAY in the back, by the necro guild - you'll find Sanfyrd Featherhead. Hail the lil guy, and say "Where is princess joleena's wing". He will tell you that you can't have it because he read that it will make his hair grow back. He also mentions that he has no [friends].

As stated above, patronize him by saying "I am your friend" at which point he excalims that you are "just saying that to get my feather, if you are really my friend you would help me get some hair tonic." He then tells you to get some tonic off Ping - slap those 10 tonics in there (remember, don't stack!), hit combine and hand him back the box. He gives you a wig and tells you to have it repaired.

The two next parts you need are the two clumps of hair off hulking gorillas in Cazic Thule. They spawn in the throne room, you can work them easily in a group in your low 30's or even sometimes in your high 20's. This is pretty easy to get, and the clumps seem to be a fairly common drop.

Lastly you need the hair off the golden haired mermaid. We did this with a pally, 2 rangers, a druid, a wizard and I think a cleric. All people will need to be 35+ although closer to 40 is advisable. Remember do NOT use AOE damage spells in Kedge because these cute little fish swim around but then they blow up for like 400aoe. Not nice. We cleared the entry room, and then invis'ed and swam directly to the mermaid's room. There is a hallway there that you can safely med and rebuff yourself at. She has I believe a pirahna in the room with her, maybe two. We pulled her, and while she did some smacking around, let me say, she went down FAST. She drops the hair every time as far as I know but her spawn seems random. Not sure if there is a trigger for her. After getting the hair we ported out, no point hanging around Kedge! (Personally I find Kedge fun but it IS a challenge and you really should not attempt the zone until you're into your 30's).

Now, go back to Ping in WFP and say "can you repair a toupee". He'll tell you he needs all the ingredients you just gathered, so give him the toupee you got from the guy in Ak'Anon, the two gorilla hairs, and the golden mermaid hair. He will give you back the fixed toupee which, you guessed it, you troop back to Ak'Anon to give to Sanfyrd. He gives you the glimmering fairy wing.

Now head to the western end of Lesser Faydark. Track Gearheart, who never moves and is her bodyguard. He is in the heart of the faerie village which is close to the pixie tower. The Princess's placeholder is "a fairy guard." She is on a 35 minute cycle - she or her PH will spawn for 30 minutes, then despawn for five minutes. Then one or the other will spawn again. Don't sit there and stare at the mushrooms if she's not up! I chased down outcast brownies for the arrows for the Ivy Etched leggings quest for a while, and killed pixies out of boredom. The I just camped my ranger there, set a timer, and went off to play one of my alts while the timer ran. Happily for me the Princess spawned after about 3 or 4 cycles, but I have heard people camping the area for hours on end, so trust me and just do something more productive than staring at the mushrooms. Camp your ranger there and CHECK BACK if she's not spawned. Her cycle is exact, 35 min from the time she spawns.

When you hail her she basically says something about please don't sit on the mushrooms or something. I always feel like I'm in Smurfville. Anyway, give her her wing, and she'll thank you and give you the bag of faerie gold dust. YOU CANNOT KILL FAERIES TO GET THIS, you MUST quest this properly, or the quest will not work and you wasted a lot of time and effort. VERY important.



Now that you have all this stuff, go see Kinool Goldsinger in the Enchanter's guild in Felwithe. (that's the 2nd Felwithe zone; when you go up the bridge and find the transports, the one on the right takes you to the chanter guild). He is the guild leader standing in the middle of the entry room on the diaz. Hail him and ask "Where can I get an Enchanted Trueshot Bow?"

He'll tell you a story about the Bow and how they used to be able to make them but they can't anymore because they can't get - tada - the ellusive fairy dust from Joleena. Aren't you lucky that you happen to have some? :) Give him your Trueshot, the treant heart, the dust, and your 3000gp, and ta-da, you are now the proud owner of the Raincaller.

It took me a good 12-15 levels to do this quest, mostly because it was difficult for me to find people willing to go to Kedge with me to get the mermaid hair. I'd like to thank my guild sisters for helping me out on that. :) If you can get people (38+, over 40 recommended due to some of the opening room mobs) to go to Kedge with you when the mermaid is up, and a druid to port you around, you could do this whole quest within a couple hours.

It's not every fourth lantern turned in to Jyle. I turned in 21 lanterns and got the treant heart with the 21st.

Please can someone tell me how you get Joleena to talk about the quest, and also what faction is required if any to exchange the wing for the dust, thank you
