Ask the guy who sells books in the monk guild, 'What lost book of the scale?' He will say some stuff about the lost records of talon and his life, and give you the book of scale. Here is the part about the shackle sash and shuriken: "...ripping the shackle from his wrist, Talon gave it to Kiraikuei, telling him he must return it to the courtyard at any costs, including his life...Talon removed a small knife, and began to cut away the sash from his waist, letting his robe become loose, turning to Kiraikuei, Talon placed the chords of soild power around Kiraikuei...Talon fell to the ground, feeling his life draining slowly. He scrounged through his tattered belt pounches, and removed a Shuriken of imense power. Using his last bit of strength, he thrusted the Shuriken deep into a diamond, and told Kiraikuei to bring it to the ones who guarded the gates of the peaks...

A Cracked Diamond sometimes drops off the ancient wyvern in Skyfire. I am told that if you have a jeweler (skill of at least 200) combine that and 3 bars of galvanized platinum you will get the Shuriken.

Need all dialogues, list of required quest items, list of rewards, faction hits if any, /loc of quest mobs.

  • Shuriken of Scale

Okay went to take a look myself.

The NPC is called "the Court Chronicler"

He sells many books, but does not respond to any sort of hail normally.

So I can only surmise a) the quest was removed or b) there is some trigger phrase or quest needed to be done before to get him to do the right dialogue even if "What lost book of scale" is asked.

Hmm

Well, I got curious and wanted to read the book for myself. None of the NPCs in the Monk guild respond to the triggerline.

So either I'm a tard, or the quest has been totally removed from the game.
DOES NOT EXIST

This quest no longer exists, if in fact it ever did. Likely it's the same as the shackle of scale, a quest that has been removed but which still has reference to it, and still has items involved in the quest dropping.
Well Hello...

I'm pretty sure Pallys get em too, never played one but, i think they have they fiery defender and avenger and ghoulbane (not in order hehe). I dunno about ghoulbane since it can be dropped by the king in upper guk.
#Anonymous, Posted: Dec 22 2001 at 8:04 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i think that with the diamond u fill it with magical substance using blacksmithing skill to get a weapon, not a jewler, a shuruken is a weapon not a piece of jewlery, a enchie could enchant the metal first though.
hmmm

As you can see the text clearly says it has not been solved. Perhaps you need the shuriken off the kirakuei in Hate and combine it with the cracked diamond then give it to an NPC in Sky Fire Mountains near the VP entrance or perhaps inside VP
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 23 2001 at 9:38 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ERRRR!!! sorry m drunk can't type good have a few mistakes in my other thingy LOL!!
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 23 2001 at 9:36 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Haha sounds like a very good weapon to pull with but you would have to almost camp him o get a full stack cuz as it says they are stackable and prolly with a stack IF they aren't no drop you could ell them to other monks for a good it!!
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 02 2001 at 7:01 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Has anyone completed this quest as of late? I would really like to know how its done.
short cut to pally epic? doubt it...

ok for part of the paladin epic u have to kill vox and nagafin to get 2halves of a book. then u go to a guy in freeport and give him the 2 halves and 1kpp and he gives u back the book. the book is called the book of scale and up top it says after u ask the guy "what lost book of the scale" he gives u the book of scale... just something that i caught that i thought was interesting. guess its just me having wishfull thinking, hehe.

Shuglin Fyreblade
Noble Paladin of Rodcet Nife of the 40th blessing
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 29 2001 at 1:33 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The actual name was Shuriken of the Tranquil. 100dmg 20dly 200range and is stackable. Doesn't drop anymore. Had a friend who had some and still has that he keeps in bank. If you think Verant would allow something that powerful, then they should put back Rod of Annihilation(sp) for casters. 60dmg 40dly and some stats. I think that Verant shouldn't get peoples hopes up on getting items then nerfing them. Just my 2cp.

Seems like the only use for such a thing would be TOT or BOTB, where your character is copied to test, assuming they don't bother to do a move rather than a copy.

actually they do drop still, in the plane of hate, off the mummies. got one the other night and used it to pull maestro. too bad i wasted it as it didnt even hit him =P
Maybe...

Maybe you could combine that shuriken from Hate and the cracked diamond from skyfire. What youd combine it in I wouldn't have any idea about.
The Shuriken of Power
# Feb 28 2001 at 5:56 PM Rating: Default
its a 100 damage 20 delay 200 range monk only throwing weapon that drops from kiras in hate plane... so that means one throw and its gone but i clicked in on the ancient cyclops for 400 damage in one shot.... hehe take that wizzard KSer's
From what I hear

quest has been disabled since beta. Only one active was shackle of scale until month after release. odd
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 12 2001 at 3:58 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) LOL haha, beta for kunark or the beta before eq :) they did have a beta of kunark before kunark came out Lalkin
RE: From what I hear
# Jun 30 2001 at 7:04 PM Rating: Default
Well since Kunark didn't exist in beta I am pretty sure what you heard is wrong =)
RE: From what I hear
# Feb 01 2003 at 11:51 PM Rating: Decent
Ummm...I believe he was referring to the kunark Beta mayhaps?
What are stats
# Feb 15 2001 at 12:31 AM Rating: Default
what are the stats on this item?
The stats...
# Jan 11 2001 at 4:22 AM Rating: Default
What are the stats on it? and does it come back like a boomerang or something? or is it a one time use? Hopefully you can reuse it over a short period of time, that would be pretty sweet.

have to kill a lvl 60 mob, give u any idea how hard it is?
as it says...

I would say this needing of a jeweler is correct. As a jeweler would melt the metal into the diamond, thus creating the shuriken from the "mold" as it were...
RE: as it says...
# Sep 02 2000 at 6:14 PM Rating: Default
i thought it was diamond shuriken??
RE: as it says...
# Nov 18 2000 at 1:20 AM Rating: Default
if you read the small passage, it says he thrust the shuriken into the diamond, which means it should be immensely strong, and i would have to agree with the first post regarding the metal and molding into the diamond
duh
# Jul 05 2000 at 7:57 AM Rating: Decent
Well getting the cracked diamond off of the ancient Wyvern makes sense since the passage talks about Kiraikuei being told to give the diamond with the shirken in it to the ones who guard the gates of the peak... as in the gateway to Veeshan's peak which is in Skyfire. My guess is something there either drops the shirken part or leads to more clues to were it drops. doubt you have to use jewelery skill..
interesting . . .
# Jul 01 2000 at 2:16 PM Rating: Default
Kiraikuei in the plane of hate drop shuriken of the tranquil, a high range/100 damage throwing weapon.
