Engraved Bone Pauldrons  

 

1000p not bad for the stats considering some of the new stuff that is out there.

While farming CoV faction near arena, this dropped off the mob listed in the quest for this. No turn in required, just dropped.

I have this item now: July 3rd 2002
its has Reanimation Haste 2.

Greetings all.

My current main is a level 28 Dark Elf Shadow Knight, Innoruuk obviously.

I have been thinking of getting these for him for about the last month now and plan to move to newer hunting grounds after I get my level 30 SK spells. Newer hunting grounds being in Velious of course.

What are my chances of getting these Pauldrons right off from the start. Are there any Dark Elf SK's out there who have done this Quest and can I have their advise?

A friend suggested I kill dorfs for my faction, which of course will KOS me in Thurgadin but I hate those smelly little dorfs anyway (Innoruuk remember) and I don't really care for going into their gay little city. Plus there are a few other Kael quests I am interested in.

But this Pauldron quest will be the first I attempt so if I could get some advise from other fellow Tier Dals out there who have done this Quest I would appreciate it.

Since last patch this item has effect: Mana preservation II

Not real sure what it does but I guess it reduces mana cost when you cast a spell. From what I have seen it is random so it works like a proc.. 'Your engraved bla bla begin to glow..' just upon casting. It seems to have procced only with a few of my spells but that may just be coincidence and there may be a chance for a proc every time you cast a spell whichever it is.

Can anyone shed a bit more light on this?

Thx!

If you are KOS to both Kormrif and Kromzek, is this quest still doable to get these spaulders? Is Wenglawks and Kellek on that faction? If it does matter, what race/class combo can I create to do this quest? Will an ogre war make them talk to me and give me the quest items? Thx for your help.

Hey I just picked up one of these a few days ago. The ac alone isn't bad for a shoulder item ( ranger by the way ). The agility boost on this thing makes it quite considerable. without this on my AC drops 20 points, so, the agi actually ( for me at least ) makes this an AC 20 item with the extra + 3 dex. Rangers don't need Charisma, I take it off when I sell stuff anyway. It is also ALL ALL ( as mine personally states ) and has a meager weight of 2.5. I've never played a monk before, but I've talked to a few of them and they were intrigued by this item. May be good for them. Think about it, if you see any downsides I'm not considering, please respond ( plus they can be found for real cheap )

1. To do this quest, will I need to pass any Storm Giants? I have dubious faction with the frost giants, but storm giants will most likely whack me (I am a Ranger who worships Tunare).

2. Do I need faction better than indifferent? (which I get with sneak)

Thanks for any replies.

For those wondering why no faciton hits happen for this quest, Wenglawks is a traitor to the giants... a spy sent by the Dragonkin of Skyshrine. Why do I know this? Just switched factions to giant from Skyshrine/Coldain and have been exploring quests in SS for a bit now. The true quest for the key through SS tells you to visit Wenglawks and hand him an item...

Not sure how you can pull that off exactly with the Noble standing there but may be possible to sneak to a point you can trade with him and not be giant toe jam.

The quest for the key may be different now but that's what it was about 4 months ago and no idea why they'd change it but anything is possible. Feel free to check with the first drake you can talk to in SS to the right if you're able.

i am warmly and i got the toolset and everything just fine, i am of innorruk, the bad thing is, i am a fatty troll and cannot fit into the igloo!

You need to be kindly to get the toolset. Warmly wont work, I tried it. But once I went to kindly I tried and he gave me the toolset.

P.S. large races need a shrink potion to do this quest.

I tried a human newbie Rallos Zek worshipping warrior out of curiosity. He could get the first part of the quest (toolset voucher) from Wenglawks, and all the other giants were no worse than dubious so getting to Wenglawks was no problem.

But the second guy who takes the voucher from Wenglawks (Kellek Felhammer) was dubious and told me to buzz off. No toolset.

Someday when I'm bored I'll try a barb warrior instead of a human, but that's a long hike. Or I'll try an ogre, best chance faction-wise I bet...but an ogre would need a friend to shrink him, or to pull Sojan the gnome out of his little igloo. Maybe true for barbs too, not sure.

Well, Wenglawks stays in his room again now.

It was good while it lasted :(

After some recent patch, Wenglawks Kkeak now walks a route through town, instead of standing close to his friends inside the building. Not sure exactly when it was changed, I've been out of the country.

So now an agnostic 20+ enchanter like me can pull off this quest without dying...usually... (one false step though...)

I'll refrain from detailing it step-by-step, in the hopes of getting decent prices for a while longer. Hey gimme a break, cost me enough pain and suffering :) And hey all you chanters, you don't really want me to spoil it for you, right?
It's a fun little do-or-die puzzle, not that hard but the suspense is great when a mistake gets you clubbed into a grease spot. Mwuhahaha. If you get it right the first time without getting splatted, give yourself a gold star. Suggestion: bind at the entrance first. Enjoy!

Delinth posted a price of 100pp and states "any newbie not KOS to the giants can do this quest".
With all due respect: Hah! you ain't getting mine even if you add a zero.

There's no such thing as a newbie not KOS to these giants. Even an invis'd ogre will get whacked by some of them. The only safe way to do the quest is get good giant faction, destroying your dwarf faction in the process. Barring that, if you're an enchanter you can do it but you get killed a lot, even with illusions, invis and benevolence. My score: Giants 6 kills, Shyft 2 pauldruns. They're fickle as hell. They con indiff or amiable, you think you're OK, you step up, sometimes you get to finish the quest and sometimes the last thing that goes through your mind is the rest of your body. Sometimes you finish the quest with no problem, then they thump you as you turn to leave, even if you're invis. Very odd. Go figure.

This is not another Stein of Moggok: primo item dirt cheap because any newbie chanter can do it. You gotta be an enchanter willing to die at level 20+ (because you need Illusion:Ogre. DE and troll illusions don't work). Or you have to be high enough level to get good giant faction by killing dwarves, and willing to forget about going into Thurgadin.

If there's a way to get giant faction without ruining dwarf faction I'd sure like to know about it....anybody? But it seems VI deliberately prevented having good faction with both.
