    You say, 'Hail, Weapons Master Wygans'

    Weapons Master Wygans says 'Hail friend, welcome to our workshop. This area once housed the arena's armory, but was converted to a weapons workshop during the initial stages of the war against the Horde. That was a few years before our time, but Kotahl, Saulgan, and I have been here for at least a decade now. We've been experimenting with new ways to fight against the Horde.

    You say, 'What horde?'

    Weapons Master Wygans says 'The Grimling horde erupted from the mines many many years ago. It was like they just came through a hole in the mines or something. Our miners were all slaughtered in a matter of hours. Some of the residents of the mining camp in the forest made it out alive... but only a few. We have been fighting with little sign of progress for decades now, but that was before Kotahl made his discovery!'

    You say, 'What discovery?'

    Weapons Master Wygans says 'Kotahl and Saulgan researched the horde and developed a theory about their origin. Kotahl was able to take those theories and find a way of injuring them by altering the magic of their weapons through alchemy. We have perfected the process and only need the weapons at this point.'

    You say, 'What weapons?'

    Weapons Master Wygans says 'If you meet with our forces in the Grimling Forest and can find a Grimling officer, you may be able to get one of the weapons that we need. Return those weapons to one of us and we can convert its magic to harm its former owner. The weapons come in three styles. I can convert the weapons of the Grunt. Saulgan can convert the weapons of the Horde. Kotahl works on the weapons of the High Grimling. Bring us those weapons and we'll convert them for you.'

    There are various weapons of the grunt that drop in the forest. Hand in the NO DROP weapon of the Grunt to Weapons Master Wygans for a similarly named Grimling Bane weapon.

    Weapons Master Wygans exchanges your weapon for an identical one that is sitting close by. 'Here you go, friend. Use it wisely', he says as he hands you the weapon.

    To complete the Officers Cloak of the Cat people (all classes) you must do these raids. If your doing the quests you receive a sphere for the first raid. Each raid is a dynamic raid that consists of waves, with 2-3 min rest between. The End of the Raid is obtained by the same goal. A Gremling Officer. This mob must be killed and the body part ( Scalp, 1st; Tooth, 2nd; Eye, 3rd) returned to the scout. On the officer will be that part, One item from the major loot table (ex. bracer, 1st; FT1 1hs sk only, 2nd; FT 1 2hb caster 3rd) and one minor (wr quiver, 1st; ... Sorry dont remember 2nd and 3rd) and finally a weapon.

    Weapons include: ________ of the grunt,
    ________ of the high gremling,
    ________ of the horde.

    These are the weapons this speaks of, also these weapons drop as rare in the mines adjacent to the forest.

    Weapons conversions: Gremling bane _______
    I have a Gremling band Shortsword on my cat warr.
    before conversion 10 32 1hs after 10 32 +4 bane grem 1hs.

    The Horde conversion adds the proc Frost rift and caries a bane of +5 - 10

    I havnt seen any of the "High Gremling" conversions yet I will keep searching.

    Also turning in the body part receives a medal.
    1st raid Medal starts Bst epic, 2nd and 3rd are used with the first to get the Medal of honor.

    These raids are a cheap way to entertain 20-35 lobies as a raid, or used for the people serious about raiding in the Acrylia Mines.

    These quests can be done starting at level 30 or so if you have a full group. You spend about 60pp and hand in a polished(?) acrylia sphere to one of the scouts in the Vah Shir outpost in Grimling Forest.

    He'll then walk his happy little tail down to the first grimling camp across the bridge. You have to clear the camp and keep him alive until a grimling officer spawns. The grimling officer in the first 3 raids will drop a weapon of the grunt every time from my experience.

    Look up the grimling raids quest in Grimling Forest if you want further details on this.

    This quest says level 1, because theoretically, there is nothing in the programming stopping a level one from looting the hammer and turning it in. Vs say, plane of growth quests where if you arent 55, you get nothing for doing the quest.

    I killed the named overseer in the caves leading to the acrylia mines, blue to my leve l60 ranger. Some long sounding name starting with a G. If a 60 druid hadnt been there to heal me, id have died. Ive got 3k hp, 1100 ac, 1500atk, and had him slowed with my epics. He was still hitting quite fast and for 140 a pop, and had a ton of hp. I had invised in and there were a ton of mobs around, so no room to really back off and use archery or heal, and really tore through me.

    I suppose a group in there 40's might take this guy, but you also might wipe out easily. Since the weapon that results is rather unimpressive, i cant see anyone actually going after him for the weapon, except to have your level 1 pick it up. There are other quests however, that involve killing him.

    #Anonymous, Posted: Mar 15 2002 at 6:49 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) These quests require two groups of 50+
    #Anonymous, Posted: Mar 15 2002 at 6:53 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I forgot to mention that there are "grunt" weapons of every melee type. there are "grunt" and "bane" weapons for every class/race. the trick is finding the mobs when their PHs are always up :)
    LVL NEEDED!
    # Jan 22 2002 at 9:03 AM Rating: Good
    the grimlings in the forrest are all blue at 44...i would not want to solo one if a castor w/o resist gear on and melee might be a bit rough as i am a ranger...also they are in camps so you would need to single pull...

    so i would say 45 plus for the quest or a good high 30's grp

    As with most quests that start in the Vah Shir relm, they are built one upon the other. I have not seen a Grimling Grunt and I don't want to even at lvl 18 based on the stats of the weapon received after exchange and the consistant under con of NPC's on Luclin. I think this one is to enhance survivability in the Grimling Forest zone.
    #Anonymous, Posted: Jan 01 2002 at 1:01 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i just went into the bystary (sp) and the guard and all the creatures she had up there were min level of 40 so this quest is around level 50 my guess just to let you all know have fun trying to get it if you wnat to give one to me i am on prexus hehe (I could only wish some one would give this to me hehe.)

    He said he went in to the beastiary to look up the mobs. Its called research and it doesn't even require a /con. imagine that

    Blunt takes on a new meaning on the moon
    # Dec 30 2001 at 12:18 PM Rating: Default
    I think they look at things a bit differently on the moon. For example my Shaman is currently having a blast with her 1HB whip. In other words, check those weapons before you decide what you can and can't use... you may be surprised!

    This says its a level 1 quest, but im guessing thats for the easier weapon...anyone know the individual stats for each weapon/how hard the npc's are? If it's that easy a quest for a 25/50, im gonna scoop up that bloody thing quick! 15 pal here btw, if anyones got suggestions, thanks :)
