Click here for an overview of cultural armor introduced with Dragons of Norrath.

Find Vuro Padfoot in Shar Vahl at -435, -40, in the building just inside the city's south entrance.

Ancestral Vah Shir Armor

You say, 'Hail, Vuro Padfoot'

Vuro Padfoot says 'Hello, ______. Returning from Norrath? It fills me with pride to see there are still Vah Shir willing to venture off this moon and restore our foothold on [Norrath] once again.'

You say, 'Norrath?'

Vuro Padfoot says 'From what I have heard, things were much different back when we lived on the planet. I have been studying the writings transcribed from before our kind was blasted from the face of Norrath. They are helping me piece together the [techniques] of our ancestors.'

You say, 'What techniques?'

Vuro Padfoot says 'From what I have learned, our craftsmanship has regressed over the years. Our relative lack of competition from other races has made us docile and lazy on this moon. In fact, I've uncovered some forgotten [armor patterns] and a few [cultural symbol patterns] that put our current designs to shame. Would you be interested in learning these ancient patterns? They will take time to craft, but, if you are patient, they will serve you well.'

You say, 'I am interested in learning the armor patterns.'

Vuro Padfoot says 'Excellent. To make you a pattern book, I will need a piece of shadeling silk for the cover, a glowing heart stone for the ink, a cracked rhino beetle carapace for the clasp, and a damaged hopper hide to grind down and make a salve which will protect and preserve the finished product. I have heard these items can be found around Shadeweaver's Thicket and the Paludal Caverns. Bring them to me and the armor patterns of our ancestors will be yours.'

The Glowing Heart Stone drops only from A Glowing Muck Digger in Paludal Caverns. The rest are common drops in Shadeweaver's Thicket. Hand in the items.

Vuro Padfoot says 'Excellent work, ______. Here is your pattern book. May you use this to restore the standing of our race across Norrath!'

You receive the book Ancestral Vah Shir Armor.

You say, 'What cultural symbol patterns?'

Vuro Padfoot says 'You're interested in the cultural symbol patterns I see. I can give you the cultural symbol patterns but I will need you to run a few tasks for me before I can give them to you. What do you say: would you like to run a few short [tasks] for me?'

You say, 'What tasks?'

Vuro Padfoot says 'I have four tasks that need to be completed. The first is an adventure into [Paludal Caverns] where you will collect some items for a cap that I'm making. The next, you will be tasked with venturing into [Dawnshroud] where you hunt for some ingredients that I seem to be missing for my feast. The third task leads you into [The Grey] where you will gather some jewelry supplies for me. The final task will lead you on an adventure into [Stillmoon temple] where you will learn about the creatures that inhabit the area.'

Journeyman's Book of Vah Shir Culture

You say, 'Paludal Caverns.'

You have been assigned the task 'Vuro's Cavern Adventure'.

Vuro Padfoot says 'Paludal Caverns? Let me see what I have for Paludal Caverns. Ohh I do have a task for Paludal Caverns. I was in the process of making a cape but I have run out of a few key items. I know they can be found in Paludal. Venture into Paludal Caverns and explore the owl bear cave in the east side of the caverns.'

You receive the Journeyman's Book of Vah Shir Culture.

Expert's Book of Vah Shir Culture

You say, 'Dawnshroud.'

You have been assigned the task 'Vuro's Feast'.

Vuro Padfoot says 'I never have the right cooking utensils when I'm cooking. It's so annoying to be in the middle of baking a feast and to not have exactly what you need. Explore the pond in the north west of Dawnshroud and see if you can find some utensils for me.'

Task Details

Master's Book of Vah Shir Culture

You say, 'The Grey.'

You have been assigned the task 'Supplies for Vuro'.

Vuro Padfoot says 'I recently started to create jewelry. This piece here is the most requested piece in the city.

Shimmering rockfiends spawn from traps that may be found throughout The Grey. The northeast part of the zone has a relatively high concentration of the traps.

You receive Master's Book of Vah Shir Culture.

Grandmaster's Book of Vah Shir Culture

You say, 'Stillmoon Temple.'

You have been assigned the task 'Creatures of Stillmoon'.

Vuro Padfoot says 'You will adventure into the Stillmoon temple to learn about the different creatures that inhabit the area. Travel to Stillmoon temple and learn about the creatures of the temple. You will need to be careful while you are in the temple. The creatures that you seek can only be found in the most dangerous sections of the temple.

Mangler 2021

So I was looking for this armor for my beastlord on Mangler this morning. No luck. I figured I would put up a buy line for Elaborate Vah Anima Cuirass etc and see if anyone would make it for me and sell it to me. Turns out you can't create a buy line for it either!

Is this just not in game yet even though the other cultural armors exist? I have a full set for my high elves (enchanter and cleric) and I see Vah Shir armor and other beastlord armor just nothing for VAH SHIR BEASTLORDS specifically. Am I missing something?

EDIT: Apparently if it isn't made, sold or looted then you can't put up a buy line for it on that server since it "doesn't exist" yet. Now I know!

Artisan Vuro Padfoot says "I need some interesting patterns to use as continued inspiration for different symbols. I will give you an impression book that you can use to make impressions of certain patterns that you find out in the world. This book will magically take deep impressions or even just surface patterns. You can take as many of the tasks at once as you would like."
You have been assigned the task Eminent Impressions

Eminent Impressions is the replacement for the Grandmaster's Book of Vah Shir Culture in Stillmoon Temple

To find the patterns that will inspire you, you will need to kill strong sentinels in Thundercrest, and flameweave menders in the Nest. The patterns you will need are the engraved patterns on the chest of the sentinels and the embossed patterns on the bracers of the flameweave menders.

Objective Status Zone
Kill 20 Strong Sentinels 0/20 Thundercrest Isles
Make impressions of the chest engravings on strong sentinels 0/5 Thundercrest Isles
Kill 10 Flameweave Menders 0/10 The Accursed Nest
Make impressions of the bracer engravings of flameweaver menders 0/2 The Accursed Nest

You have been assigned the task Sacred Impressions

Sacred Impressions is the replacement for the Master's Book of Vah Shir Culture in The Grey

Objective Status Zone
Kill 20 Chetari warriors 0/20 Dragon Nectopolis
Make impressions of the teeth of Chetari warriors 0/5 Dragon Nectopolis
Kill 10 Lictors of the Heart 0/10 Sanctus Seru
Make impressions of the symbols on the breastplates of Listors 0/2 Sanctus Seru
Deliver the impression book to an artisan of your race Done ALL

Also the teeth and the symbols. You will get yellow text when you kill the mobs stating that you have made impression in your book.

The best repop spots for chetari warriors I found was. In the building in the far SW side of the zone. Then swim through the lava tunnel to the chetari below.
To a lvl 75 Bst the green con's were consistent in respawning warriors. In the rest of the tunnels it was ify many ph's.

When I first got my impressions book I did not know if I had to combine it with the teeth and symbols for the update. When I was killing Chetari I'd get 1 impression update after 2 kills. It stopped at 4/5. I wound up killing 20+ to get the last update.

Blessed Impressions

To find the patterns that will inspire you, you will need to kill Froglock Gaz in Upper Guk, and Crag Spiders in East Karana. The patterns you will need are in the pattern of spots on the heads of the froglocks and the carapaces of the spiders.

Kill 10 Crag Spiders 0/10 East Karana
Make impressions of the Crag Spider carapaces 0/2 East Karana

You must give the Damaged Owlbear Pelts to Vuro Padfoot one at a time, otherwise, you do not get credit for the hand-in, and he keeps your pelts.

That's not quite correct. Just give all four pelts at once UNSTACKED. You get credit for all four.

Glossy Kirin Manes
# Mar 13 2006 at 8:43 AM Rating: Decent
I've seen some people say that you can get the manes in the Creator missions but then I see some say that it won't work...

Anyone that has completed this quest confirm this?

Also, is there any other place that the manes drop?

I have picked up a few manes in the 'Diseased Pumas' and 'Sickness of the Spirit' mission but at the rate they drop it will take quite a few missions to get the 40 you need.

If you take a group there with the purpose of farming the manes it may not be as bad since you don't have to kill too many Kirins to complete either of those missions in the normal fashion.
RE: Glossy Kirin Manes
# Mar 14 2006 at 9:22 AM Rating: Decent
They dropped for us in the "A Simple Task" DoN mission (from Bianca, have to kill 2 nameds, one of which takes a bit to spawn, pick up a groundspawn, hit combine, turn it in). Dropped of regular kirin mobs in the garden.

i have alot of the items needed but didnt have the quest so i dont get credit for them, can i charm a mob and give him the items then kill the mob loot the items and have it credited? just curious servers are down or id test this
RE: charming
# Feb 06 2006 at 2:57 PM Rating: Decent
As you have probably determined by now, you must be in the zone indicated by the quest; it's not enough to loot the items alone.

Moreover, a goodly number (if not all) of these items, when handed to a charmed critter, will be handed right back with the message "I have no use for this item, <player>, you may have it back."
Impeccable Kirin Horn
# Dec 04 2005 at 2:59 AM Rating: Decent
Confirmed tonight - the Impeccable Kirin Horn for the Vah Shir GM quest dropped for my friends Beastlord in a Diseased Puma Mission FINALLY ! That is the mission to take for that drop. Also to get the 10 Kirin Loremaster kills, you can hunt in the non-instanced Stillmoon Temple zone OR that Stillmoon instance. The Impeccable Kirin Horn MUST drop in a DoN mission. Not confirmed is if you can charm the loremaster in the instance and hand him a horn - did that in the regular Stillmoon and didn't get credit for looting upon his death.

Impeccable Kirin Horn drops during Sickness of the Spirit also, Kirin Loremasters killed during mission count towards the 10 kills needed. Loremasters in the non instanced Stillmoon count also.

HI. Which DON mission(s) are best to find the Loremasters? I took the diseased puma mission and none appeared on track. Thanks for you help.

BTW, the glossy kirin manes which drop in the Creator mission in Thundercrest do count for the gm symbol quest.

Grand Masters Task
# Aug 11 2005 at 9:38 AM Rating: Default
You Must be lvl 68 to obtain this final task, not 70.

Drops for this final task are only obtainable on instanced missions.
I have helped many a friend grind through Stillmoon looking for final drops, only to figure out that none were ever dropped in regular Stillmoon, but just in the instanced.

You must be in a Dragons of Norrath mission to get the drops you need.

Which Stillmoon mission did you use to get the Kirin Horn? I've done many DoN missions and the only time I've seen the Loremasters is in the un-instanced version of the zone. Please help as the danged horn is all I need to complete this quest! TY in advance.

Even though the quest says to loot the Kirin manes from the Kirin in Stillmoon, I have found that looting the manes in the Creator DoN also counts

Lvl Req for Grandmaster

Originally it was restricted to level 70 but it was changed to 65 a couple of patches ago.

Considering you can wear the armor at 65 I think that was a fair move.
Vah Shir Molds

Where are the different Molds for the Combines found? I can find regular molds but they wont work.

RE: Vah Shir Molds
# Jun 17 2005 at 11:04 AM Rating: Default
There are plate, chain, leather, and silk armor combines. Plate and chain is done through smithing in cultural forges. Leather and silk is done through tailoring in cultural sewing kits.

Note that mold and pattern combines produce an eight-slot backpack full with the following items:
20x Chest Slot Patterns/molds
20x Legs Slot Patterns/molds
20x Arms Slot Patterns/molds
20x Head Slot Patterns/molds
20x Hands Slot Patterns/molds
20x Feet Slot Patterns/molds
40x Wrist Slot Patterns/molds

For Patterns:
See Jala in Shar Vahl, once you get to Shar Vahl just use find, she is a vendor.

Recipe: will produce a backpack filled with patterns as listed above.
A Quill (1) Storebought
Ancestral Vah Shir Armor (1) Returned on Failure Returned on Success
Compacted Backpack (1) Storebought
Large Bottle of Ink (1) Storebought
Roll of Plain Parchment (1) Storebought

Molds:
See:Arms Historian Qua, he is in the castle near the warrior guild, again just use find as he is a vendor type.
The following recipe will create a backpack filled as listed above.
Recipe: MOLDS = Ancestral Armor Book + High Quality Firing Sheet + Huge Block of Clay + Compacted Backpack + Sculpting Tools
change in number of loots?
# May 31 2005 at 12:26 PM Rating: Decent
did they change the loots needed for the Glossy Kirin Mane? I thought mine said I need to loot 40??? Seem to be able to get 4-8 everytime we do a creator mission.
Horn found
# May 27 2005 at 6:29 AM Rating: Decent
I saw the horn drop in the mission Animates Statue Plans. We killed one Kirin Loremaster which dropped the horn.

Also did kill a kirin in a creator mission which dropped a glossy mane which did update my task.

I looted one from a Creator mission in Thundercrest recently but it did not update my quest (vah shir GM cultural). Since then I've done several Diseased Puma missions in Stillmoon and put in a lot of time killing kirins in the normal version of the zone. No horns yet.

Can anyone tell me for sure if their horn dropped in the instanced version or was it the normal version of Stillmoon?

Just finished the Master Book and went to turn the Dark Skeleton Remains in and I never got the book. I says it gave it to me but I never got it. It shows as a finished task in my tasks window and I have the GM task already which he would not give me if I were not done with the Masters portion. So, beware. I am petitioning to get it returned to me.

Creature names for denizen of Stillmoon would be ie A stillmoon drake, A stillmoon laborer, etc. Works same as the tasks in DoN camps. Golems dont count for example.
wolves stuck under the wold
# May 02 2005 at 1:01 AM Rating: Good
I just went through this tonight. The normal wondering wolves are getting stuck under DSP zone. So I had to rely on triggering the blood thursty ones around the zone.

Now I used a 32 Monk bot to run over the trigger, this may not be needed but just in case I would tell you the locations are

Neg 201.26 by Neg 702.66
Pos 1763.97 by Neg 330.80
Pos 1167.57 by Neg 1253.88
Pos 1301.01 by Neg Pos 1116.95
Pos 9.79 by Pos 1471.51
Neg 1396 by Nwg 96.35
Neg 862.66 by Neg 1707.85

Respawn is about 8 min. My trip took around 30 min to complete.

On the pelts they drop one in 7 kills of the blood thursty.
