Coldain Shawl #4: Fur-Lined Coldain Prayer Shawl
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
After finishing the first three quests, ask Loremaster Borannin 'What is brewing?'
Loremaster Borannin says 'Ahh yes, good to see you again Maeve . I wish it were under better circumstances that we meet today. For some time now we have sent teams of our finest rogues to gather intelligence for the Dain. Tanik Greskil is one of our best. He was recently sent into the heart of Kael Drakkel on a very important mission and has not returned. He is now long overdue, and fearing the worst, our wise council has asked me to dispatch a rescue party to determine what has become of him and return him to safety. I have decided to give you this opportunity to build upon the trust you have earned from the council. Will you accept this mission?' You say, 'I will accept this mission' Loremaster Borannin says 'The council will be pleased to hear of your acceptance. Scour the regions surrounding the city of the Giants. Discover what happened to Tanik and, if possible, return him to Thurgadin. If you are successful, remember to hand me your woven shawl. We seem to be running low on them, but I must say Mordin has never had so much help in the kitchen. Anyway, I will eagerly await word of your findings. Good luck, and may Brell protect you.' If you wander around the Eastern Wastes near NEG 6644 POS 4337 you will eventually see a message "the snow crumbles away revealing an injured coldain." This reveals Tanik Greskil. You say, 'Hail, Tanik Greskil' Tanik Greskil says 'Outlander! Thank Brell you've found me! I am the last surviving member of my unit. Our mission was somehow compromised, the bloody Kromrif knew just where to find us... I can't imagine how they knew. I was barely able to escape with my life and wandered into a trap here. I am badly hurt and need your help.' You say, 'I will help' Tanik Greskil says 'Quickly, give me a vial of Veluim Vapors so I can return home, I am in desperate need of some attention from our clerics.' You say, 'What are velium vapors?' Tanik Greskil says 'Drat! Are you telling me you don't have one with you? Run back to Thurgadin at once and speak with Frundle, she can make you one. I will do what I can to stay alive. I may need to move about a bit to keep from being discovered. Hurry now outlander, you're my only hope.' Once back in Thurgadin, find Frundle. You say, 'Hail, Frundle Frenklar' You say, 'What velium vapors?' Frundle Frenklar says 'Ahh, you come seeking my family recipe? After all you've done for our people it's the least I can do. First you must fashion a velium vial, then combine the vial with two small pieces of velium in this jar. That's all there is to it. Please keep the recipe a secret.' You say, 'What velium vial?' Frundle Frenklar says 'I'm no potter mind you, but if I remember correctly it's a small brick of velium, three crystalline silks, and two glass shards. Then you'll have to finish up by firing it in a kiln with a high quality firing sheet.' You receive a Velium Purifier. Small Pieces of Velium and Small Blocks of Velium can be looted on Ry`Gorr Miners in Crystal Caverns or off spiders in Velketor's Labyrinth. Crystalline Silk can be found on spiders in both zones. 1) Combine a small (7 lb) brick of velium, three unstacked crystalline silks and two glass shards in a pottery wheel. You will receive an Unfired Velium Vial. 2) Combine the Unfired Velium Vial and a HQ firing sheet in the kiln and receive a Velium Vial. 3) Combine the Velium Vial and two unstacked small pieces of Velium in the Velium purifier. The Velium Purifier disappears and you are left with a Vial of Velium Vapors. The vial is a lore item and has one charge of gate to Thurgadin. The vial is trivial at skill 122. Do not camp the spot where Tanik Greskil is, because I did it, and got a message: You have been ambushed by frost giants! And two Kromrif Death Squad will spawn, and try to kill you. When you get Tanik Greskil to spawn again, just hand him the vial. Tanik Greskil says 'Thank you. I shall be eternally grateful to you. Should you ever require my assistance I pledge to you my aid. Please deliver this to Borannin, it is imperative that he deliver this to the Dain at once. Farewell for now outlander...' You gain experience!! Then head back to Thurgadin and hand Boradinn the note and your old shawl, for the new shawl. Loremaster Borannin says 'Words cannot express our gratitude for your deeds outlander, you have saved a hero of our people from certain death. Please accept this, the Fur-lined shawl, as a token of our sincere appreciation. You are indeed among the most highly regarded Humans to set foot in Thurgadin. The next time we meet be sure to ask me how to further advance your reputation with the coldain.' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Grrr...Gave Tain the vial of velium vapors like I did the first time i did the quest. He just stood there and stared at me... When I hailed him, he now says he needs an elixir from a frost giant named Ghrek (maybe spelled wrong). Right after Tain says this, 4 frost giants including Ghrek run over to Tain's spawn point. After watching them kill Tain, they despawned in a few minutes. I guess I'll just have to root Ghrek and run the rest of the giants into a coldain camp.
You went to the wrong guy. Tanik Greskil is the one you want, but you went to Tain Hammerfrost. Tain is for one of the Coldain rings, I believe #4. Make sure that you have found the correct person before turning in your stuff.

I did this 4th quest in 4 hours. Yup, my pottery was at 2 and brewing is at 2.
Pottery: If you were like me, I was able to buy pie tins and mixing bowls for the 3rd shawl so I had to get it mastered now. I did it all in FP in the bank zone (nfp i think). Next to the bank is a merchant that sells the med jar and med mixing bowl sketches. The first inn (green jade?) sells water. Near the bard guild is a vendor that sells the clay and ore (forget the name). Took me 2 hours and less than 20 plat to get to 122 skill in pottery (skip the firing). If you dont already know, "shift" will select a full stack and "cntl" will select one item from a stack. Ok, now its off to Thurgadin.
Once there, I bought everything I needed in the bank except for the crytiline silks. I skipped over to CC. never been there but was told the spiders are on the bottom near the queen and over the broken bridge. I leved/invised down, ran thru the dwarfs (I was dubious and they wouldnt sell to me but some vendors might sell silks). found the bridge and the spiders. they were green or light blue to me at 50. Ok, they train easy! So, pull them to the other hallway near the terrors. you will get 2 at a time until you break the hall. the drops were normal, some had none and some had up to 3. I teamed up with another wiz and we killed about 15 and each got 6 silks (you only need 3 but with a 122 potery skill I wanted a back up set).
Brewing: still at 2
I made one vial on 2 attempts (good thing I got six silks). found Frundle and made the vapors.
Frundle Frenkler is located in a shop near the statue with the glowing eyes (near clerics guild).
Ok Tanik... I got to the ravine and a 52 chanter was soloing there. He had done the quest and showed me that Tanik could spawn on either side of the ravine and quite a distance out too. He said charming a pet did not work for him, he got a necro to help. So, i did the same and the necros pet just pointed to the giant guards in Kael. sigh... the necro got bored and left. Ok, I just started trying to drop the vial all over and made a crossing pattern. I started on the southside and spawned the death squad near the two trees (they hit me for 158). zone. so I moved to the north side and ran around with no luck. after 45 minutes I decided to give up and go get some faction hits back in GD. BAM death squad about a football field north of the ravine (much further out than I expected) and exactly opposite the two trees on the south side. zone. well, I thought what the heck, I'll try the same spot again. Low and behold "you stumble". He spawns and I give n' gate. total luck I know. =)
I was lev'ed the whole time but not invis. I only saw one roaming giant/walrus near me the whole time so no need to worry about being jumped. Near me, meaing within range to nuke with a bolt.
now, tailoring..oy.

Anyone know if this part of the shawl quest can be multiquested?
I was considering getting a friend with high pottery skill to make the vapors then multi it? But, I did'nt realize it would only take an hour potting to become a master. But am still curious..
(Pottery Skill was 102 for me to make the vapors)

no. All the shawl quests need nodrop tadeskill items.
Hey.
Certainly it's true that the stuff you need for the quest is NO DROP. Still, you could try having a friend doing everything up to the point you go to Borannin.
Then they could hand over Tannik's letter and you hand over the shawl. (Personally, I wouldn't much fancy the risk of losing the shawl. Not after going through the third quest. But it's a possibiity.)
I have read that the lower level shawls can be multiquested this way. But, at the same time, I haven't tried it myself.
Anyhow, just a thought.
AlAaraaf.

Using pet to find spawn locations and using no drop item to determine the spawn type works great. Got Tanik on the 3rd spawn site and only spawned one death squad (necro helping me walked over spawn site my mistake). Now on to 5th shawl.

I have never worked my brewing skill. It is 0 - yes, zero.
My pottery skill is 142. I made 2 vials (2 trys, 2 successes).
I then got the container and made one Vial of Velium Vapors; 1 try, 1 success. I now have a spare veluim vial (I think that's the correct mis-spelling).
Maybe it was blind luck that my first attempt yielded a success, trade skills do work like that. I'm suspicious pottery is the only skill needed.

/sigh
Why why WHY do people get so confused so easily.. NO BREWING.. and I repeat ABSOLUTELY NO BREWING IS NECESSARY FOR THIS QUEST!!!!! NONE! sheesh people! it's just an old time saying! like "Hey! What's brewing?" or "Hmmm.. I wonder what they have brewing." Has nothing to do with making something to drink! :D

Did this the other day. Its easy if you know how.
1) Only pottery skill is needed for the quest. When you make the initial no-drop velium vial. It was trivial to me at (140) pottery skill. You cannot fail at using the Velium purifier.
2) Go to the KD ramp. Unless you want to randomly scan the entire horizon, you need to make a pet or find a class to help that can make pets (charmed mobs included) that are commandable (nope - Chanter animations are out).
3) Sow is VERY IMPORTANT. Make sure SOW is on AT ALL TIMES. Do not skimp on the spell or the potions, refresh early. The KD death squad hits hard, fast and stuns with frightening regularity. If you can get the best AC, HP or Rune buffs. YOU WILL TRIGGGER THE DEATH SQUAD.
4) Make the pet or charm the nearest snow bunny. take it to the top of the ramp. Command it with: /pet guard me or /pet sit down. It will face the nearest trap (Tanik or the DS) or mob. If the pet is obviously facing the nearest Mammoth or Frost giant, relocate and try again. Tanik and the DS is not there in that quadrant.
5) When the pet seems to be facing a blank area, thats when it gets interesting. Face the direction the pet is facing. Take some coins (now non-drop) or the velium vial and start clicking the horizon or the straight line away from you, in the direction of where the pet is facing.
6) Most of the time you will get the "no-drop" item message. BUT if you click on the Tanik or the KD death squad spawn points you get the following messages:
a) You are too far away from You have to trade.
(DEATH SQUAD SPAWN TRAP!!!)
b) You are too far away from You stumble to trade.
(TANIK spawn point)
7) These spawn "dots" are very small, tiny in fact. You need to click several hundred times to get one message. If you get the Tanik message. DON'T RUSH FORWARD! The Death Squad trap IS ALMOST ALWAYS nearby. Likewise if you get the "you have" Death squad message, chances are Tanik's "You stumble" point is nearby too.
8) The trigger point for the Death Squad is HUGE and vice versa Tanik's (VERY SMALL). Make a note where the two are (if possible) and find a way to Taniks trigger around the DS traps.
9) Triggering the DS is a given unless you are very lucky on the first try. RUN to zone to KD and shout a warning. If you do find Tanik, drop invis and give the vial to him asap. No need to talk to him. He understands the dire emergency. You must un-invis if you have invis on.
10) Do NOT GIVE UP! I triggered the DS trigger umpteen times before I found the Tanik spot sans giants. Just make sure you have enough sow potions or refresh sow often. Getting caught by the DS without happy feet or feign death is FATAL.
Tanik is simple if you know the trick of narrowing down the search with a pet and the vial. If you have gotten this far, giving up now would be a waste.

Thanks ubvmadman.
I already had done the vapors part, but spawned the Death Squad on first attempt and gated to Thurgadin. Tried again using your method and got my 4th shawl on 2nd attempt.
I found in my click-fest that there are various points that spawn the KDS, and careful navigation through their little mine field is required. But 10 minutes of patient clicking and message reading is worth it.

Im a bit confused to all that you are saying. I read the postes several times now, and dont understand what you all are talking about with points you need to hit or triger. Does anyone have a specific loc on where you make him pop. Also what the hell does it say's "Ask Loremaster Borannin 'what is brewing?" Its pottery, wtf is Brewing doing in here? Or some where i have to do brewing in this quest, sure hell dont tell you things that are correct. So do i need brewing skill at all or just the pottery in this one?
Anonymous
what they mean by "what's brewing" is just a cliche (however you spell it.) "what's brewing" meaning "what are they planning" has nothing to do with brewing. although pottery, yes.. to make the vial you need to combine it in a pottery wheel, then fire it in the kiln.

You need both your Pottery and your Brewing skills for this segment of the quest.
Pottery will help you fashion the Velium vial (recipe listed on the quest above).
When you talk to Frundle about the vaports, she gives you a jar that you combine the velium vial and two small pieces of velium inside the jar. This part uses your Brewing skills.

This does not require brewing.. When I combined in the container it did not say this item was trivial , with 186 brewing skill there is not much which is not trivial.
Sorry friend, I believe you have it wrong - only pottery is needed for this stage of the quest. The only reference to brewing is in how you get it started. I have done this quest several times with several different characters and you do not require brewing.
i was trying to do this quest for my mage and i did the trick with the no drop item and i got the YOU message. so i triggered them and zoned into kael. i invis up and zone back out, as soon as i zone back out, they were right there waiting for me near the fire pots, get this tho, they saw through my invis and kept the aggro! so it dont matter if you zoned, you have to wait the 3 mins for them to depop cuz they will reaggro if you zone back into EW... buggy *** coding on verant's part.

If you have sow on, you don't even have to zone into Kael. I just get to Kael entrance and sit there till they despawn. Works best if you have one of them targetted. Then you lose your target when they despawn. Seems to take about 2 minutes or so.

I did this quest today and on my fourth try I got the you stumble message, but i actually managed to open a trade window with "You Stumble" just a split second before Tanik spawned, i thought that was pretty funny.
Anonymous
I've run all over the outside of both ramps, tried the stupid pet trick, pet only faces the two guards at entrance to KD or if much further away then he looks at a Walrus or other MOB. So the question is does this not work if you have levitate on, i.e. are you too far away to trigger anything if you are floating? I've spent an oven an hour and not spawned anything on the outside of either ramp.
I just found tanik using a charmed snow bunny to point me in the right direction, I would say pet guard here, then go forward, have it follow, and repeat, until I either saw a mob in the distance or triggered something... Before I was just running around and I got 5-10 DS, but with the bunny I found a trigger real easily and it turned out to be Tanik! This stratagy does work :-)

Talk more to Frendle(sp) she will give you one if you say something like "what purifier"

The Tanik spawn, at least on the Ayon.Ro Server, may currently be bugged.
I had my 51 druid out there doing the pet/no drop trick with a walrus and everything seemed quite normal. I got 2 DS spawns first. Then I got the "you stumble" message and thought, Yay! this is gonna be a cake walk. Well, up popped little Tanik, and at the same instant up popped 2 DS giants! In the exact same spot! They killed Tanik before I could even blink; he just crumbled the instant he appeared. Then they turned to me of course.
My discussion with a GM resulted in him saying - I'd put this in a bug report if I were you. So I did, but I haven't had any follow up on it.
I guess the only way to find out is go back and keep trying to trigger the spawns. But I wondered if any one else has had this happen?

Yeah bro i had the same thing happen on A-Ro, both Tanik and the DS popped -
I was able to pull DS away from Tanik, but he was gone when i got back to him (
this was on around my 7th try. On my 10th try or so i finally got just him to pop. Hate this part of the quest

According to the original information, it seemed as though he just stumbled upon Tanik. Does this mean you just have to walk past a certain spot, and Tanik will spawn? If so, can you do this with camo up, or with the DS still see you?

you stand at the top of the ramp into Kael, facing away from the ravine, hold a no drop item, and try to drop it in various areas in front of you. I got "You are too far away from You stumble to trade" (Tanik's hiding spot). No spawned death squad. Handed him the gate potion, and got the note.

Where do you get these? CC?

No, they can simply be bought in Thurgadin at the pottery Vendor in Trade Area.

I just did this using the NO DROP item technique. Once I spawned the DS. Twice I found DS triggers. Then I found the Tanik trigger. After I spawned Tanik and gave him the gate potion, I stayed in the same spot, 5 seconds later the DS spawned on top of me. This leads me to believe that the location of the triggers are fixed, but the location of Tanik is not fixed.

Think of it this way (numbers listed are just an example)...
You have 24 points (locations)
At any given time, only 6 may be active...
Now you have 2 things that may be at that location...
The negative thing has a 90% chance at being there...
The positive thing has a 10% chance at being there...
Only 1 positive thing may be in the active locations...
After a certain duration (fixed or random) these locations become inactive and 6 of the 24 are randomly chosen to become active for the next round of triggers...
Personally, I have only seen 6 active spawn points at one time... sometimes I only see 4 active spawn points... so it is possible that the number of active spawns may be random, or it may be possible that I missed some, or they were too close to eachother for me to gague...
I recently helped someone out, in this portion... I found Tanik on the southern side of the Kael wall... 6 feet from a DS spawn point... I was using my Mage twink to triangulate his position and discovered the "You are too far away from You have to trade!" So I then triangulated the position of the DS... both Tanik and DS were too close to eachother for comfort... I parked my pet so he was facing the Tanik spawn point (You are too far away from You stumble to trade!), and called the guy over to spawn him.

I parked my pet so he was facing the Tanik spawn point (You are too far away from You stumble to trade!), and called the guy over to spawn him.

Ok. This may be hard to explain but here it goes. I am a level 51 druid at the time of the quest so I charmed a bunny or other animal that was near. I brought the animal at the top of the ramp. I used the pet command /pet guard here and the pet pointed in a direction. I moved just in front of where the pet was pointing and used /pet guard me to move the pet and repeated the process. (I used hot keys for this to make it easy). This lead me to either a bunch of giant spawns which I just ran into Kael and zoned, (I am KOS in Kael BTW), or it spawned Tanik. It only took me 4 tries, but when I helped a guild member, it took about 8 tries to spawn Tanik.

If your doing the 4th part of the shawl quest one should definately be KoS. Unlyss you have done a real miracle job of balancing faction.
There are way more than 6 spawn points, and it isn't neccessarily RIGHT around the ramp. Best thing to do is the pet/No Drop item trick. I have found a bunch of Death Squad triggers up at the same time as one Tanik trigger.

well when i was but about level 39 i was wondering around EW and then all of a sudden i got the message you have triped over a pile of snow and uncovered a injured coldain, well i said cool and started to talk to him, i think i remember him saying something about velium thingie and then i kept on trying to get him to say more and he didn't answer, then he said "oh no! i have been discovered a group of giants is closing on us!(or something like that)" well being the dumb newbie i was, i just walked slowly away, just a few seconds later i was jumped by like 5 HUGE giants!(everythings huge to me i'm a gnome) but i had a pet out and i just sent him in and i headed for the hills, with my pet still on target, i watched his health not move at all, i was about to turn back and go fight them thinking they were easy and that i had just gotten scarred when my pets health bar disapeared, and well that was the time to be scared, i kept running(with sow) for the IC zone and i had the bridge in sight when i got nailed by the giants, they had caught up to me! well i was freaked and i thank the high level wiz to this day who was sitting on the bridge who casted the AoE snare and slowed them down, but it wasn't enough they still hit me from a distance and killed me, and well now i'm 53 and i'm about to do this level of the shawl quest and man i'm looking for some pay back! >=)

You will not be able to kill them, Trust me. We had a full group of 51+ and we had to run. I was a well balanced group too. Killing the death squad is not advised, just run them to Kael zone and try for Tanik again.

"you are too far away from you stumble to trade." this helped a lot, it was tanik.
the other message "you are to far away from you have to trade." pops a death squad everytime.it was 4 times before i just looked for the stumble message and ignored the other.patience is the only other thing you need

As someone said before there are 6 places tanik spawns 3 on each side of the kael canyon. Use the no drop item trick mentioned elsewhere in these posts to locate either DS or tanik by sweeping the item over each of the 6 spots. when you find the spot you will get one of these two messages, You are too far away from You stumble to trade, or you are to far away from You to trade. The first message is tanik, the second will spawn the Death Squad, if you get the message that spawns the death squad, zone into kael, zone back out then repeat the process.
Good luck

Can you use track to find Tanik cuase he is there just under the snow?
Tanric does not actually spawn untill you trigger him by walking over one of the points. He isnt actually buried in the snow, he just appears on top of it.
