Just got my parchment tonight after a week of trying. I do recommend getting a lvl 1 necro and bringing him to zone. I created a DE necro, bought bone chips and lvl 1 pet spell(cavorting bones). Summoned pet behind Tani and got as far away to zone as I could so pet would attack. After I saw pet message, I ran like hell to zone. Stopped just short(passed roaming guard) and let Tani smoke me. Tani stays put for 24 game hrs. I camped back onto my WE rogue and started PP'ng away. Since he is rogue class he doesn't aggro on you regardless of race. Tani doesn't have parchment everytime but stick to this method and you'll get it..Good Luck
49 WE Tunare worshipper here, so was not looking forward to this bit of epic!
Dropped all my gear in the new bank slots, took some SoW potions and H&S into 3rd Gate np at all. Stood on roof (+665, -1303) still H&S, pped (skill 200) and the first time I did it agroed the entire rogue guild. HTed by one of the guards, but still made it to zone.
Moral of story - get H&S back up real quick! It total agroed about 4 times in total and made it to zone everytime (make sure you got sow) and never took more than about 700 damage.
I picked about 8 spawns of Tani before I got the parchment, but succeeded eventually. One thing, do not be put off by the "Your target is too far away" message that comes up on this roof method - you are still stealing off him.

ok, I think someone else has tried this, just wanted to confirm it. I am KOS in Neriak, I just got a Larrikans mask and still snuck and hid all the way to Tani. got his loc and pp'd from the roof. I re snuck and hid after every attempt but I think the larrikans mask still kept me from bein seen. Got the note on 1st try of his 2nd spawn. I am lvl 50 with 191 pp skill. good luck )
I got the Mask of Deception and headed straight to Neriak. I got bound in Neriak Commons at zone to Neriak 3rd Gate. I'm level 47, have PP of 200, and S/H of about 186. I made a level 1 DE to scout this roof option first. I got to know the 3 Neriak zones safely that way. I took a couple screen shots with him; one inside with /loc:
Note that Testnoob (my DE) is facing the same direction in both pics. Stay on the 665 /loc (north and south) line for reference with Tani side-to-side. Adjust the n1303 /loc (east and west) line to be closer or farther from Tani as you see fit.
Then I logged my main Rog back on, got on the roof with DE illusion up and hidden. I have a hotbutton for "/target tani" and for "/loc". I hit PP the re-hide. I get successful PPs till I clean him out even tho I get a message saying I'm too far away from my target to PP. I did this for 3 spawns with no luck and also no agro. For me, he re-spawned at 8pm game time. The third time he re-spawned 4 times, each lasting about 3 min or so. Once hes cleaned out pray he re-spawns again a few times to give ya another shot at it. Otherwise go find something to pass the time till 8pm next game day. I'll get this no doubt :) Hope this helps.
Maybe I got lucky, but this was a piece of cake, and I'm a Half Elf WITHOUT the DE Illusion mask. Got a SOW at Nek and bind just inside of Neriak (just in case). S/H all the way to 3rd Gate. I also had a Shiny Brass Idol (Divine Aura) with me, in case I was agro'd, I figured I could run to zone with all the DE's in tow and still survive. There are at least a dozen DE guards and trainers between the zone and Tani. Set up a hotkey to PP, Hide, Sneak and then found Tani. There were 5 DE's in the room, with 2 being right behind me when I set up behind Tani. I figured I would be spotted by the 2 DE's behind me as soon as I hit the key and unhid, before the H/S took effect again....but not the case. Had to PP 4 times, drained him of his gold, then he dropped the Parchment. Sneaked right back out, unscathed. BTW, my PP skill was 200. Hope the rest of you Rogue's are as lucky.
after picking about 50 tani spawns i finally got the note. the only way i got threw this was soloing my necro and logging at 8pm to pick tani, made the time pass quicker, hope this helps woniwily 51 rake
I've almost given up on this guy.. been trying to get the parchment for sometime now. I PPed like 20+ different spawns of this guy and i got no luck, well if agroe is luck.. then i was lucky has hell! :( I don't know what to do, maybe I'll just pay someone to do the hard work for me lol.
i must have picked about 20 different tani spawns completely clean and no parchment, thank the gods for my 14 necro to assist, although i think i will create a lvl 1 necro cause my lvl 14 guy is soon to be 13 lol. good luck to you all!!!
After hitting level 50 I decided to pop in and get a start on my Epic.
My PP is maxxed out at 200 and my DEX is 118. I snuck down there using my DE Illusion mask and set up shop behind him.
Managed to get cash and a few research items from him and I also managed to aggro him 3 times. Each resulted in a death on my part as the whole guild decended upon me and cut me to shreds in no time.
It was suggested to me to create a DE NEC and have that character drag him to the zone. I may have to resort to suck trickery as I do not want to die again. My only other option is to wait until level 51 when PP can go up to 210 (I think).
I have heard from several sources that he is a bugger to PP. Anyone else have problems with him?
Tani is part of the Ragebringer Epic Rogue epic quest. He sometimes spawns with a note (stained parchment half <bottom>). This must be pickpocketed off him as part of the quest.
Yes, and if you say anything about a note while you're around him, he'll say, "Oh, you want that piece of paper Stanos was so hot after?" He taps his belt pouch. "Well, its mine now, though it looks like Ogre scratch to me. You're not getting it, Stanos is not getting it, and Hanns is not getting it. It is MINE! Now, Alai, scamper off like the dog you are, before I decide I need more practice with these short swords!"
