    This quest lets you get back your newbie robe/weapon in case you lost it so that you can do the quests that require it. Hail your Guild Master to start the quest. Each class starts a little different, but the phrases are pretty obvious.

    Toilmaster Path. This part is the same for everyone.

    Then you get a Ragged Book. Read it (it is quite interesting). Then go to East Cabilis and find The Toilmaster. Give him the book and...

    The Toilmaster looks at the tome and speaks to you, scowling, 'Very well Broodling, I have a task for you. I should make you work at the feet of my Froglok Slaves, crushing granite, but the lore of the Brood has a specific rite for this situation. Take this book and learn the will of Cazic-Thule. Read it and ask me any questions that you may have before you start your penance. It would be a shame for you to fail at this task as well... though I wouldn't mind destroying you.'

    You receive a book called Rites of Exoneration. Read the book, it tells you to ask him for the hammer and a bag.

    You say, 'Hail The Toilmaster'

    The Toilmaster says 'Do not bother me unless you wish to join the chain gang. Now go away or I shall have my slaves chop you as they chop this granite!'

    You say, 'I need the Hammer of Exoneration'

    The Toilmaster hands you a massive hammer and says, 'So, you can read. Good for you. Don't think that you're going to make an impression on me with that rubbish. Let's see if you can handle this hammer like you can that book, whelp.'

    The Toilmaster hands you the Hammer of Exoneration, 4/60, effect: Bone Shatter, wt. 25.0. You have to make this hammer proc 54 times.

    You say, 'I need the bag'

    The Toilmaster turns his head to focus on you and hands you a dusty bag. He then returns to looking into the distance, just over your left shoulder.

    He hands you Penance Bag, an 8 slot bag, in which you will later combine 7 Powdered Bones and 1 Flask of Bloodwater.

    For now, go back to West Cabilis. In the building near the necro guild on the wall, there's a mortician. He's a skelly, but he won't hurt you.

    You say, 'Hail a mortician'

    a mortician stares at you with hollow eye sockets. As he opens his jaw to speak, you are overcome by the foul smell of a thousand rotted corpses. 'What is your desire, master?'

    You say, 'I desire a mortar and pestle'

    a mortician moves with a mixture of creaks and clicks and produces a grotesque looking mortar and pestle set. He places the items in your hands and motions indicating you dismissal. You can feel the vile power of your god moving throughout the material that makes up the two items.

    The Grotesque Mortar and Pestle is what you combine the bone fragments in that you get. It's an 8 slot container. Here's the part where it gets BORING. I went to Lake of Ill Omen, there's lots of mobs there that you can fight for a long time without causing too much harm. If you get low on life, cast leach or something.

    When you do get 8 Bone Fragments, you combine them in the mortar and pestle and you get a white Powdered Bone. Put that in the bag. You need 7 of them. When you have 7 Powdered Bones, put one Flask of Bloodwater in there and hit combine to get a Filled Penance Bag. Then turn that bag and the book you have into your guild master.



    Necromancer version:

    You say, 'Hail Nihilist Zeegarn'

    Nihilist Zeegarn says 'Mind yourself within Cabilis. We will not tolerate any mischief. If you don't heed my warnings, you may be sentenced to the pit of the Crusaders of Greenmist. You don't want that! Also, you should always wear your robe when entering these walls. You do have your Drape of the Brood, correct?

    You say, 'I do not have my drape of the brood'

    Nihilist Zeegarn says 'What is this?' the Nihilist barks in disbelief. 'You have lost your drape? This is unacceptable! Take this note and report to the Toilmaster at once. Read it on the way and praise Cazic-Thule for any mercy that you may be granted!'



    Shaman version:

    You say, 'Hail, Hierophant Zand'

    Hierophant Zand raises his hand and looks up. 'May the wisdom of the ancients lead your soul to suffering and everlasting pain. Such is the will of Cazic-Thule. I see something in your eyes, Grizzer. Have you lost something... your cudgel perhaps?'

    You say, 'yes'

    Hierophant Zand says 'That is most unfortunate for you. Your suffering will be extended on this plane, until you find your way back to us. Take this and read it on your way to speak with the Toilmaster. He will guide you. Yesssss...' You feel as if something is peering at you from behind the speaker's soulless eyes as the last letter he speaks transforms into a sigh.'

    He then hands you the book.

    Nihilist Zeegarn takes the bag and tome from you and in return gives you the item that you have been thinking of all of this time. Lucky, you... you have earned a second chance. Praise Cazic-Thule! You get your Newbie Robe back.



    Monk version:

    You say, 'Hail, Master Niska'

    Master Niska bows with elegance and grace. You can see her arms rippling with muscles. 'Greetings. We are the Swifttails. We are the harnessers of the elements. We are the tails of discipline. To achieve rebirth into our castle is a great honor indeed. We can be identified by our adornments. You should display that which we have given you to adorn your arms with pride. You do have your bracer, correct?

    You say, 'I do not have my bracer'

    Master Niska says, 'You dare disgrace us?' She hisses at you. 'If you have truly lost the marking of our caste, you will need to take this note and speak to the Toilmaster immediately. Read it on the way and praise the will of Cazic-Thule.'

    Your faction standing with Swift tails has been adjusted by 100.
    Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis has been adjusted by 25.




    Shadownight version:

    Human Shadowknight

    You say, 'Hail, Squire Gristle'

    Squire Gristle says, 'Hail, Broodling! When you walk the halls of this tower, you should always display the status that you have earned within our ranks. It brings me pride to see the might of the brood displayed by one such as you while I reflect here in the tower. Do you have the tool of your caste with you at this time?'

    You say, 'I do not have my kukri'

    Squire Gristle shakes his head and growls. That is not good, broodling... Not good at all. You will need to take this note and seek out the Toilmaster immediately. Read it on the way and hope that your incompetence can be overcome. We do have a pit for you, should this prove to be impossible.

    The Toilmaster looks at the tome and speaks to you, scowling, 'Very well, broodling, I have a task for you. I should make you work at the feet of my froglok slaves, crushing granite, but the lore of the brood has a specific rite for this situation. Take this book and learn the will of Cazic-Thule. Read it and ask me any questions you may have before you start your penance. It would be a shame for you to fail at this task as well... though I wouldn't mind destroying you.'

    You say, 'hammer of exoneration'

    The Toilmaster hands you a massive hammer and says, 'So, you can read. Good for you. Don't think that you're going to make an impression on me with that rubbish. Let's see if you can handle this hammer like you can that book, whelp.'

    You say, 'i need the bag'

    The Toilmaster turns his head to focus on you and hands you a dusty bag. He then returns to looking into the distance, just over your left shoulder.

    You say, 'Hail, a mortician'

    A mortician stares at you with hollow eye sockets. As he opens his jaw to speak, you are overcome by the foul smell of a thousand rotted corpses. 'What is your desire, master?'

    You say, 'i desire a mortar and pestle'

    A mortician moves with a mixture of creaks and clicks and produces a grotesque looking mortar and pestle set. He places the items in your hands and motions indicating you dismissal. You can feel the vile power of your god moving throughout the material that makes up the two items.

    Turn in completed:
    Squire Gristle takes the bag and tome from you and in return gives you the item that you have been thinking of all of this time. Lucky, you... you have earned a second chance. Praise Cazic-Thule!
    Your faction standing with Cabilis Residents has been adjusted by 100.
    Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis has been adjusted by 25.
    You receive 1 copper from Squire Gristle.
    You receive 1 silver from Squire Gristle.




    Warrior version:

    Crusader Zixo is the NPC warriors have to speak to get the Ragged Book for The Penance. He roams in the watery area in front of War Baron Eator between Smithy Krikt & Weaponsmith Grugl. Hail him and he says:

    'Do you come to me empty handed, knave? Did you lose your pike?'

    Just say 'Yes' to him and you get this message when he hands you the ragged book:

    Crusader Zixo roars at you, heat pouring into his dead eyes. 'Do you know what this means, wretch? I will give you one chance to prevent your floating near my feet. Take this tome and go speak to the Toilmaster. MOVE, while you still have breath.'

    Yes, this works. I just got done doing it with my Iksar Monk. Find a mob that cons green to you and will not run when low on health. I recommend skellies or beetles. The level of the mob does not matter, only that the weapon procs. You need the Hammer of Exoneration, the Pack of Pennace, and the Gruesome Mortar and Pestle before you start.

    Wield the hammer and when it procs, you will see a message like, "You feel the bones of your enemy shatter beneath your hammer", at which point you will have 'bone fragments' on your cursor. Put 8 of those into the mortar and pestle and combine, to get powdered bone. (Looks like pixie dust)

    Put 7 of powdered bone, plus one BLOODwater, and combine to get a 'Full pack of pennance'.

    Return that pack *plus* that book you get to the person in your guild who started you on the quest (for Monks, it is Master Niska (who is, btw, a female), not sure for other classes...), and you will have your newbie item back. In the monk's case, it allows you to once again have the Shackle of Dust.

    Do it right, and it works everytime. Boring as all hell, but it works.

    There's a crusader outside the warrior guild building, near the smithy merchants. Hail him and answer yes when he asks if you've lost your pike.

    I did this quest (it took a long time) and I thought I was gonna get a new shackle (it was with my monk but im an SK now). I did it and got no reward and no exp so i was mad, and that was it. Just wanted to say that it doesn't say the name of your newbie item if your a monk, just asks if you have your something shakle. STupid, made me mad.
    RE: so thats the reward...
    # Nov 27 2001 at 11:50 AM Rating: Decent
    Oh, of course, they should REWARD you for being weak! Read the book, you'll find you are lucky. Besides, once you do the next level up quest, you will find that, had you not done that quest, you would not get the exp, gold, and better item you get from the first quest. Everyone: DON'T SELL THE ITEMS YOUR GUILDMASTER GIVES YOU!

    hey guys i run a sk and need to get the book from the guildmaster. what words trigger the giving of the book? tried everything i could think of. still no book. any help would be appreciated.


    RE: book from guildmaster
    # Sep 27 2001 at 4:45 PM Rating: Decent
    you talk to Squire somethingorother, he's one of the two spell salesmen on the top floor of the Shadowknight castle. Hail him, he'll ask something about losing something, and reply with "No" and he'll say you're in need of pennence, and gives you a book to give to the Toilmaster. I started this quest, but if it just gets your starting weapon back, then I don't think I'll finish it.

    RE: the book
    # Aug 26 2001 at 7:58 AM Rating: Default
    I did this quest with my monk. I also forgot to give the book with the bag. However you can give the book after you give the bag and still complete the quest getting you last newbie item back.

    When i finally decided to do this quest today, i asked a friend of mine to help me. I was curious to see if i used this weapon in the arena if it would proc at all(if not no big deal would just go out and take out Kurns) was pleasently surprised when i started swinging this beast of a weapon (4/60 2hb) that it proced while swinging at my friend...so instead of going to different zones just ask a good friend to take a beating for a while (don't kill them rest when they get low health or you become Fatigued) I got all the pieces i needed in a little over 2 hours thanks to my friend volunteering for target practice!!

    i stood in the corner with attack on and all 3 of those froglok slaves attacking me..one would get damaged and run and i would click on another till it came back. they did some small damage to me but never enough to tell at level 9 i think. sometimes the hammer would proc 2 or 3 times in a row and sometimes would stand there for several minutes without a proc. over all a BORING quest, but what the hell...

    what do you people expect of us!kill 10000000 little monsters and run around to do a few quests,all for 2 years of solid fun ,plahh,at least player vs player gives the teams the advantage of wiping out another class or diety(comp),but please,even the book i bought misses the basic points of what we are too find,and hey,this uses alot less space than 200 or 300 repetitive killings for platinum,i think this is an excuse for japanese exec's to laugh at a few kids that didn't do thier homwork,we'll bee see'n you:)lol
    Won't work for human monks

    The Hammer of Exoneration is lore no drop and can only be equipped by an Iksar. Human monks can't get the bone fragments this way. Any ideas?

    Well, given the fact that this quest is meant for an Iksar, looks like you're SOL, bud...

    I imagine the starting items are handy if you like questing enough to actually do the series of quests for the different classes and some of the end result items aren't half bad especially if you are not a twink but even then it's kind of cool to be able to say I've done my quests. Anyhow this quest seems to be a decent way to do these quests for anyone who has destroyed or lost their newbie item. I imagine that each class has a similar statement for their guild master, this would be the one whom you originally gave your newbie note to, and it would be something along the lines of I do not have my khukri of the pawn or whatever. If your not sure who to talk to you can make a new iksar of the same class and go through the ropes of getting the newbie item and if you want to save some time get all the items for the first quest and have a FRIEND make a newbie iksar of your class and you can multiquest the first rank with them by having them turn note in for item then turn item in followed by you turning in the rest of the required parts for the first rank quest which should leave you with the resulting skullcap/pike/khukari/cudgel/shackle to continue along the quest line.

    Any way you do it, I hope you all have fun doing the quests, probably some of the better quests in the game even if some do get very tedious...

    This is only the 1st piece of a very long series of quests. The end result ones i dont think any have been found, the one b4 last for the sk gives you a 12/24 +10 int +25 MR(something like that) slashin weapon, They start out like crap yes but eventually they become great and a symbol of honor to some who took the excrutiating amount of time to do these quests.
    RE: Starting weap/robe?
    # Jul 17 2001 at 4:56 AM Rating: Decent
    Its used for other quests for some classes. You turn your newbie tunic/weopon or whatever into your guild master along with some other stuff and get a new item. Something like that anyway.
    how do you do it with warriors?
