Direwolf Fur Cloak  

I found stones in Eastern Wastes, I picked up 2 over a period of waiting at a /loc I got from here, neg 6911 by pos 1814, then I found one while lost in the snow at a different loc neg 6986 by pos 2572 and finally I found a place where 3 stones were on the ground around loc neg 6314 by pos 867. Now I just need to find a MQ dire wolf fur. BTW as stated below make sure you get the right guy, Ergrez Shortpaw, the guy with the last name and not the other one named just plain Ergriz (sp?)

-Update: I shoulda checked, bards can't use this thing, but at least rogues can. The Medium Quality Dire Wolf Fur is MAGIC but not LORE or NODROP so it can be traded, I got them as a semi-rare drop off dire wolves in Iceclad over by the wizard/druid portal but I imagine any plain old dire wolf anywhere in Velious could drop one. I also never seem to find these on the vendors in Thurgadin or Iceclad, it may just be my luck though.

On a number of sites there has been conflicting info on whether it was Ergriz (no surname, the one who responds to hails) or Ergrez (with Shortpaw surname and does not respond to hails) that receives the items.

It is the latter: Ergrez Shortpaw gets the items.

please excuse me for sounding ignorant, but could someone explain how to do multiquesting and should it work on this?

you need medium quality dire wolf skin, which can be either found on dire wolfs or simply by doing an auction and buying it off others to save yourselves a LOT of time. I don't think med quality skins are rare, since I got a few myself from killing random greens that agroed on to me. Skinning stones are the ones that are a pain in the **** to get. I found them by running thru the entire GD zone. I don't think they have a specific /location for their spawn points so it's all random. I did check some coordinates that people gave me, stones were never there. I suggest whoever finds them, pick them up and save them since they are needed to do some other quests. if u know anyone that has 2 of them, just have them turn in the stones to the gnoll first and turn in the skin last to get the cloak.

Ok i dont know how much of this info was given below but i completed the quest yesterday and want to help you all out a little. Ok the dire wolf fur you can find off any dire wolf which are found in for sure Iceland Ocean (island with tower of Frozen Shadows), Eastern Waste (everywhere) and great Divide also. The pelts are just like any other a comon drop. Some are magic and no drop though. You need ONE medium quality pelt. After that you need to get the stones which can be found in Eastern Waste. this is harder than gettin the pelt because they spawn on the ground usually in highly mob populated areas. I being a rogue first got a camo so i could be invis and move fast but camo is unreliable and u have to go far in EW. Once it breakes mobs are everywhere so your chances of aggroing a Rhino, Snow Derv, Dire Wolf, snow Cougar, Frost Giant, Snow Griffon, or Kodiak (alot different and meaner)are very high they all roam these lands are very dangerous. I've been told these stones spawn in various areas. Some that I know of are (-5342,-1504),(-6459,1081),(-7254,1830). I've confirmed these two (-7413,1709), (-6911,1814), these are roughly where I got mine. I say roughly because I've found that these loc's are not consistent. They seem to appear in this general area. These were the loc's I was told but when I got to the exact location nothing, so being the military genius I am i started a circluar sweep from this point and on my two confirmed I found the red colored stone on the group close to the given loc's. Also one was real close to the loc I was given but I did not see it the first time. I think is a triggered spawn when u get near it or maybe I just had good timing. But the second time I went to the loc and stood there for 5 to 10 min and the mob traffic got real heavy..(thank god for Rogue Hide and Sneak). Then I saw a stone appear about 20 feet away. As a rogue i just gave up on the camo and used hide sneak. It took longer but i didnt get attacked once. I just waited til the mob traffic calmed down then i looted which broke my hide and then I hide again. these are No Drop so becareful if in a group cause so is the Cloak. Ok i took these to the shaman in the hut by the Tower of Frozen Shadows in Iceclad Ocean. Becareful I got attacked by a dire wolf once over there by huts and anyone who has been to Iceland nows. Not one NPC will help u...lol and the one zone has to giants guarding it..lol. Ok anyway...he did not talk to me at all...goes now if he even speaks or if someone else tells you want to give him but i took a chance and gave him 2 stones and 1 pelt. It said something like Ergrez took the item and sewed together clothing something like that. Thats it and I thought I was robbed cause there wasno xp, faction or item on my cursor but when i looked in my inventory there it was. So make sure u have a free slot. and Wa La thats it. Hoped I helped at least one person thanks.

Can a dwarf wear this? i know it doesn't say they can here, but thinking that it would be similar to the cougarskin mask, seeing how it is made by the same person. Does anyone know?

Where do you get this? All I have gotten off the Dire Wolves are High and Low quality. I hear Med quality is foraged in Kael.. any truth to this?

How many wolves do you need to kill to get one? I have killed over 50, getting tired.

Thanks.

You can find a Skinning Stone in Eastern Wastes at -5342, -1504 on the ground.
No idea about the the spawn time or anything else. The stone is NOdrop of course
