  • At the end of the previous quest, Betti Frostweaver told you to show your Embroidered Coldain Prayer Shawl to Gilthan.

    Gilthan Brittleblade says 'So, you've been chosen to attempt the rune, eh? Been ages since anyone's even made an attempt. The rune represents the very essence of our people, our culture, and our religion. Take a sea shell runed with enduring breath and a small brick of velium and grind them together in a mortar and pestle. Add water to the powder and model the rune. Fire the rune with water and the best of firing sheets. Show the product to Trademaster Kroven.'

  • Head off to Siren's Grotto and kill Sirens until you get a Runed Sea Shell with one charge of Enduring Breath.

  • Combine the Sea Shell and a small brick of velium in a Mortar and Pestle (if you are a rogue) or in a Mixing Bowl (any class) to get an Enchanted Velium Powder (No-Fail Combine).

  • Now combine the Enchanted Velium Powder and a Water Flask in a pottery wheel to get an Unfired Rune (Pottery Trivial 162).

  • Combine the Unfired Rune with a High Quality Firing Sheet and Water Flask in a kiln to receive a Blank Rune (Pottery Trivial 15).

  • Now show the rune to Trademaster Kroven (also in the Thurgadin Exchange).

    Trademaster Kroven says 'Fine piece of work there, _____, especially fer an outlander. Now yer gunna need to make a burin to etch the rune with. Once that's done ye need to kneel in the chapel and recite this prayer with total sincerity in yer heart. If yer plea be heard by our Father Brell he'll bless ya with the knowledge necessary to carry on. With that knowledge you'll take the blank rune, the burin and a fletching kit to etch the rune. Show Grimthor the etched rune and he'll guide you from there.'

  • Receive a Prayer to Brell.

    You say, 'What burin?'

    Trademaster Kroven says 'You'll need a fletching kit and a fair bit of skill for this one, _____. Round up a tooth from a swordfish and attatch it to an Ulthork tusk wrapped in a Molkor hide.'

  • Head to Siren's Grotto and get a swordfish tooth from the swordfish and a molkor hide from the molkors. You can also get ulthork tusks there but they're much easier to get in eastern wastes where you can kill the low level ulthorks for their tusks. The swordfish tooth is NO DROP which is the only item actually forcing you to go into Siren's Grotto.

  • Combine the tusk, swordfish tooth, and hide in a fletching kit to get Burin (Fletching Trivial 135).

  • Go to the room where the quest started with the Grand Historian. Make sure Grand Historian Thoridain is in the room and stand at /loc -343.61, 803.92, -17.11, target yourself and then say the following prayer until you see a message saying you've been inspired:

    You say, 'Oh Brell, Thank you for protecting me and seeing me through my trials. Forgive me for the things I think and say and do that displease you. Please reveal to me your will and bless me with the patience and obedience to do that which you desire. Amen.'

    You have been inspired. The sacred pattern of the Coldain rune materializes on the ground before you.

  • On the floor in front of the Historian is an Etched Rune Pattern at /loc -319.28, 793.04, -17.11. This pattern needs to be combined with the Burin and Rune in a fletching kit. This makes an Etched Rune (Fletching Trivia 168).

  • Show your Etched Rune to Grimthor by the brew barrel in Thurgadin.

    Grimthor Brewbeard says 'That looks about right. You're moving along well outlander. Next you'll be needin to brew up a sacred ink to fill the grooves in your rune. Take Iceclad Cutlass fish oil, liquid velium, and some Royal Kromrif blood, brew them in the barrel here then take the product and the rune and combine them in a fletching kit. Show Talem Tucker the resulting item if yer successful.

    You say, 'What cutlass fish oil?'

    Grimthor Brewbeard says 'Grab a pole and fish the waters in Iceclad until you catch yourself three Iceclad Cutlass fish. Place them in this oil extractor and you'll have whatcha need.'

    You say, 'What liquid velium?'

    Grimthor Brewbeard says 'Collect a small piece of velium and a bottle of rubbing alcohol and brew them together in a barrel. It aint easy, but it should prove to be a minor task for the likes of you.'

  • Receive Fish Oil Extractor, a four-slot container.

  • Fish in Iceclad until you get three Cutlass Fish and combine them in the extractor (Fishing No-Fail Combine). This results in Cutlassfish Oil.

  • Find some Rubbing Alcohol (bought from either the Mortician in Cabilis or at the Icy Mug in Thurgadin - west of the four-way on your map). Combine the rubbing alcohol and a small piece of velium in a brew barrel to get Liquid Velium (Brewing Trivia 135).

  • Get some Royal Kromrif Blood from Iceshard Manor in Kael Drakkel.

  • Combine the Liquid Velium, Fish Oil and Royal Kromrif Blood in a brew barrel. This results in a Sacred Velium Ink (Brewing Trivial 168).

  • Combine the ink and rune in a fletching kit to get a Velium Etched Rune (Fletching Trivial 168).

  • Go to the jewelry store in Thurgadin by the Exchange. Show your rune to Talem Tucter.

    Talem Tucter says 'I've heard of your mission, _____. I must admit that I had my doubts you'd make it this far. The rune's creation is nearly impossible for even the most skilled of Coldain craftsmen. You should be exceedingly proud. Many have attempted this feat and nearly all have lacked the skill, faith, patience and persistence that is prerequisite for what destiny holds in store for you. You are now ready to use this pattern to construct the sacred rune's casing and complete the runed shawl.'

    You say, 'What casing?'

    Talem Tucter says 'Combine two platinum bars, a small piece of velium and the casing pattern in a Jeweler's kit. Take the completed casing and the rune and combine them in the same kit. When this is done all that's left is to tailor the rune to the shawl with the pattern. Take the finished product to Borannin, I'm sure he's eager to speak with you.'

  • Talem really means Loremaster Solstrin.

  • You receive a Rune Casing Pattern. Combine this pattern, a Small Piece of Velium and two Platinum Bars in a Jewelry Kit to receive the Rune Casing (Jewelry Trivial 152).

  • Now combine the casing and the rune in a Jewelry Kit to receive an Encased Velium Etched Rune (Jewelry Trivial 162).

  • Take the Encased Velium Etched Rune, Runed Prayer Shawl Pattern, and your Embroidered Coldain Prayer Shawl. Combine them in a tailoring kit to receive your 7th Shawl: Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Tailoring Trivial 162).

  • You can then go show Loremaster Solstrin your 7th shawl. Do NOT hand his your shawl until you have read the steps for the 8th shawl.

    Loremaster Solstrin says 'Incredible! Never before has an outlander been skilled and determined enough to craft our sacred rune. You are now worthy of the Dain's most perilous task. You should seek an audience with the Dain immediately. Show him your Runed Prayer Shawl, he will give you the task that has been prepared for you. If the Dain is away show your Shawl to Chamberlain Krystorf and he will call for him.'

    Got mine today, did the final combine with 160 tailoring with a geerlok. Most important thing is to get lvl 65 beastlord, shammy and enchanter buffs.

    Stats have nothing to do with success/failure percentages. Only skill.
    Stats only affect skillups.
    So even though you had lvl 65 buffs, it had nothing to do with your success... you just got lucky.

    Etched Rune Pattern
    # May 18 2004 at 10:40 AM Rating: Decent
    I got my Etched Rune Pattern by following the steps on www.eqtraders.com. the respawn rate is 7 hours. also I had my note on the screen and typed it in. You do not need to run around spamming the message.
    RE: Etched Rune Pattern
    # Jul 10 2004 at 4:32 PM Rating: Decent
    The pattern can be retriggered again and again as often as you have someone to pick it up. My cleric needed to do it a couple of times due to a low level in fletching

    # May 02 2004 at 11:02 PM Rating: Default
    The skill check for a mortar and pestle is for make poison, thus you need to make a rogue alt for this single combine. Which is obviously why the powder isn't no drop.
    RE: Meh

    Not true. I completed it with my 65 Shammy who (obviously) has no poison making skill.

    I made the powder combine with my cleric, who obviously has zero skill in poisonmaking.

    EqTraders lists the trivial of this combine as 15, thus its got a fair chance of success, regardless of who makes the combine.
    problems
    # May 02 2004 at 7:35 PM Rating: Decent
    I am trying to complete all the combinations, but am running into a problem with the first combine. I have the Small Brick of Velium and the Runed Seashell, but when trying to combine in the Mortar and Pestle, it says you cannot combine these items in this container type. I tried a mixing bowl, as another tradeskill combine worked that way, but to no avail. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this - all other combines are working fine.

    Make sure the shell is the one with EB and not CLOUD.

    Just finished part of the quest yesterday, hunted SG for like 5 hours, mostly for named and exp, but got my swordfish tooth (had probably a dozen rot), ulthork tusk (not bulthar which is way more common), and the molkor hide, which was the most difficult of the 3, as the molkors didn't want to spawn for me. combined the 3 in my planar fletching kit and got my burin. Hunted sirens for a while, had the best sucess with the siren temple where named Mistess spawns (not the Drakwater one). Got about 8 shells with cloud, and 2 with one charge of EB. I combined the velium and the EB shell in my morter and pestle and voila! Worked just fine for me. Now all I need is the royal kromrif blood and to get my jewelcraft skill up and with any luck I'll be wearing my new cloak. I really hope tha tailoring trivial is 162 as noted in a post and not 212 as mine is only about 191 and I really really hate tailoring!!

    Good luck all and I hope this helps some.

    I was up in the zone where you get this and decided to run over to guy that give the fish oil thing I said the key words and Woot he gave it to me with ever needed to see anything.
    I tried it again with the jeweler guy to get casing pattern but no luck.
    Oil Extractor
    # Mar 09 2004 at 5:32 PM Rating: Decent
    Anyone know if you can get the oil extractor without having done any of the quest? I'm attempting to brew every possible brew in the game bar none (including some very crafty MQ'ing across classes). I'm Over 60% complete (240+ brews known so far and discovering a few more each time I experiment).
    RE: Oil Extractor
    # Jun 02 2004 at 7:22 AM Rating: Decent
    you can get the fish oil extractor without showing the guy the shawl I did cos my brewing was maxed before i dared try the other bits )

    just say the key phrase and it appears on your cursor.

    then the exciting bit of fishing in iceclad woot )

    In case you didn't already know, you can get any tradeskill up to lvl 54 on the Abysmal Sea boat. No camping stuff, no farming, no money, and with the new tradeskill UI, even the clicking's not bad.

    And Yes those expensive skills like Alchemy and Jewelcraft are there :)
    mortar and pestle combine
    # Feb 20 2004 at 11:23 AM Rating: Decent
    Tried several times today to combine the runed sea shell and small brick of velium in the mortar and pestle. Kept getting a message that says cant combine these items in this container type. Is the 1 charge of eb shell so am confused. Anyone else having this problem or know how to resolve it
    RE: mortar and pestle combine
    # Mar 15 2004 at 2:58 AM Rating: Decent
    All I can suggest is that you make sure you have Runed Sea Shell (EB) and not Runed Sea Shell (Cloud) or Runed Shell Necklace. Also, make sure its a small brick of velium.

    RE: mortar and pestle combine
    # Feb 24 2004 at 3:40 PM Rating: Decent
    Are you sure it was a Runed Sea Shell and not a Runed Sea Necklace? I tried it with the necklace and got that same message. The sea necklace has 5 charges and the shell only has 1 charge of enduring breath.
    RE: mortar and pestle combine

    Im sure it wasnt. This combine doesnt work for me either.

    # Mar 13 2004 at 10:07 AM Rating: Decent
    Do we need Poisonmaking skill to do combine? I'm a druid, so I don't have the skill, but I haven't tried this yet.

    The reason i'm asking is it shows under poisonmaking if you look at the recipes.

    No you don't need poisonmaking. Most classes don't have this skill anyway.

    how come it says poison making trivial 105 then, and the combine didn't work for me either, i have both the sea shell and the necklace. neither work

    Do you have the shell with Enduring Breath? The 2 look exactly the same other then the effect.

    One is Cloud the other Enduring Breath. You HAVE to use the EB one. Good luck

    For what its worth, I did get the sacred pattern to spawn 5 times today, out of 7 tries. Not much time in between attempts either, probably about 10 minutes as people ran down to loot it. So, the spawn time is not 1 hour, or 4 hours or any such thing.

    Also, my charisma is 256 and there was a rumour that higher charisma has a better chance of spawning it. If you don't get it spawning for you, try to get a charisma buff and put up your steins, then give it another shot.

    RE: prayer
    # Jun 12 2004 at 5:10 PM Rating: Decent
    Having problem getting the stupid pattern to drop. I do the prayer, get the correct message, but nothing drops. Search the whole room, and even go over it all right-clicking in case it's buried in the furniture, and still no FREAKIN' pattern. Not that I feel strongly about it. I swear they do this on purpose and I bet they take turns going invis in the room and laughing at us.

    I have submitted bug and petitions and was told to send them an email which I did, and of which I have no response after 3 days. I need to find something productive to do with my time.
    RE: prayer
    # Dec 15 2003 at 5:25 AM Rating: Decent
    Make sure you use comma in beginng of prayer and not a period. Span in left corner by stage near but not on steps. I had pattern drop first spam "at my feet". Turns out "at my feet" was across the room in front of main speakers podium. Hope this helps if you do spawn the pattern you won't have trouble finding it.

    There may be a delay as I had a friend with this issue, left, came back next day and got on first try same as I did.

    Hope it helps.

    Has anybody obtained the NODROP Swordfish Tooth from Siren's Grotto since the revamp? Any advice on where and how to best hunt this item, recommendations for levels or force needed are very appreciated. I brought a full group of 6 in here and we nearly wiped once and barely sustained fighting even after the wipe and couldn't even touch swordfish in the water without the uber tough seahorses adding in en masse.
    RE: Swordfish Tooth in Revamped Siren's Grotto
    # Nov 05 2003 at 3:35 PM Rating: Decent
    Yes and it seems to be a common drop from all swordfish (well it was common when I was hunting them anyway, 3 kills and 2 teeth dropped). This is on the Maelin server. Recommend to bring a chanter with you the seahorses love to party.
    Party consisted of 65 chanter, 65 cleric(me), 65 bard, 64 necro, and 50ish druid (BOT of bard)(overkill). We had no troubles and in about 10-15 mins got 2 teeth to drop (me and necro were happy). BTW we fought them near the CS zoneline.

    Got one to drop just today. Farmed from the CS side of SG in the pool. I am a 65 Wiz and brought a 65 SK to help. Could have used a healer but we made due.

    Has anyone done this very recently? I just started this shawl and i have the mortar and pestle. i tried combining a small brick of velium with a runed sea shell (the one with cloud) and it said cant combine. Then I tried it with the runed sea necklace (the one with 5 enduring breath) and it gave the same messege. How do I do this then?
