This is a multi-part quest.

Merchant Ahlam may be found at -220, -175.

You say, 'Hail, Merchant Ahlam'

Merchant Ahlam says 'Hello, would you care for a drink? Or perhaps you're the one they sent to help me? If you've come to help please show me your acrylia slate.'

Trade him your Acrylia Slate of Shar Vahl.

Merchant Ahlam says 'Ah good I was hoping you'd be along soon. I need you to collect some Gravel tea leaves from below the city. I need these leaves to make some tea for the guards under the arena. I need 10 of these leaves to brew enough tea for the guards. Take this pouch and fill it with leaves and return it to me.'

He gives you An Empty Pouch (identifies as "Ahlam's Pouch") in which to put the 10 x Gravel pit leaves. The leaves are a fairly rare drop off "a young rockhopper" in the pit surrounding Shar Vahl.

You have fashioned the items together to create something new!

You create a Pouch of Gravel tea leaves, which you should give to Merchant Ahlam. (Recipe)

Merchant Ahlam says 'Many thanks ______, I'll be going to brew this tea up for the guards now. Take this seal as proof of your helping me. You wouldn't happen to know anyone who would be [interested] in learning the art of Vah Shir Brewing would you? I could really use the help in these hard times, I can barely keep up with all the demand.'

You receive 1 x Ahlam's Seal.

You gain experience!!

You say, 'I am interested in helping.'

Merchant Ahlam says 'Is that so? I suppose I would be willing to teach you a few things about brewing, but you'll have to show me one of my seals before I begin your instruction.'

Hand him the seal and he gives you 1 x Acrylia Sand Purifier.

Merchant Ahlam says 'Well done, it is now time to start down the path of learning the art of Vah Shir brewing. You'll need a steady hand if you are to master the brew barrel. The first thing you'll need to learn is how to purify the water we use for all our finest brews. Take this Acrylia filter and use it to [purify water]. Bring me 4 flasks of crystal clear water and I'll teach you how to make the tea from the gravel tea leaves.'

You say, 'How do you purify water?'

Merchant Ahlam says 'Take a bottle to Gamali in Hollowshade Moor. You'll find her somewhere around the Grimling fishing huts if I had to guess. She'll fill the bottle with water for you. Take this water and combine it with the Acrylia Sand Purifier. That will yield the purest water you ever did drink.'

Gamali may be found at -1100, +2500. Bring 4 x Bottle.

You say, 'Hail, Gamali'

Gamali Glances up at you for a moment and then grunts and turns back toward the water.

For each bottle you give her, you receive 1 x Bottle of fresh water.

Gamali leans over and fills the bottle with cool clear liquid. Gamali says, 'So Merchant Ahlam has you doing his errands now does he? Well, here's your water. I can assure you it's of good quality.' She turns away and begins staring out into the distance.

Combine the Bottle of fresh water with your Acrylia Sand Purifier in a brew barrel to craft 1 x Crystal clear water (trivial 36). You also get your purifier back. (Recipe)

Give Merchant Ahlam 4 x Crystal clear water.

Merchant Ahlam says 'Very good ______, this water is perfect for making Gravel leaf tea. I've just received a message from Guard Jabbar under the arena needs a shipment of [Gravel leaf tea] to help sedate the prisoners. Fill a crate with bottles of Gravel leaf tea and take it to Guard Jabbar.'

You say, 'What is Gravel leaf tea?'

Merchant Ahlam says 'To make the tea you'll need a flask of Crystal clear water and some gravel pet leaves. Boil the water in a brew barrel and add the leaves when it's hot. That makes for the strongest dose of the sedative qualities of the tea.'

You receive a Empty Crate, an 8-slot SMALL container.

Combine 1 x Crystal clear water and 1 x Gravel pit leaves in a brew barrel to craft Gravel Leaf Tea. (trivial 108). (Recipe)

Combine 8 x Gravel leaf tea in the crate to craft a Crate of Tea - Recipe. Give this to Guard Jabbar at +160, -665, -235.


You say, 'Hail, Guard Jabbar'

Guard Jabbar studies your frame for a moment and then addresses you. 'What can I do for you Hazan?

Hand over Crate of Tea.

Guard Jabbar says 'Ah the tea! I've been anxiously awaiting your arrival ______, we'd almost run out of that wonderful Gravel leaf tea. Take this seal back to Ahlam, and give him my thanks.'

You gain experience!

((As a side note, if you are curious what happens with the tea, follow Guard Jabbar through the cells as he hands it out.))

You receive Jabbar's seal. Bring it back to Merchant Ahlam.

Merchant Ahlam says 'Very good ______, the guards had been waiting for that tea all day. I think you're ready to move on to something a bit more challenging now. Take this strainer, it will allow you to create some very potent brews from some of the more rare herbs to be found near the city. You'll want to start by making some [Hollow palm tea] to get used to how the strainer works.'

You gain experience!

You receive a Metal Strainer.

You say, 'What Hollow palm tea?'

Merchant Ahlam says 'You'll need some Crystal water, just as you do with all of our teas, and some Hollow palm roots. You can find Hollow palms out in the moors, watch out for the grimlings though. Once you find the roots just use the strainer to control the flow of water over the leaves. If you do it correctly you'll create a very potent brew. When you get it right bring the strainer back to me with a sample of your work.'

Hollow palm roots are a ground spawn in Hollowshade Moor, in the southern part of the zone near the grimling huts. Combine 1 x Hollow palm Roots + 1 x Crystal clear water + 1 x Metal Strainer to craft Hollow palm tea (trivial > 142) - (Recipe). Give the tea and the strainer to Merchant Ahlam.

Merchant Ahlam sips the tea. A bit of a glazed look comes across his face. Ahlam says, 'Mmmmm, I do so love Hollow palm tea. This is a bit mild for Hollow palm tea though, you might want to try adding some spices next time for a bit more flavor. Here's your strainer back, I etched some runes into that should add to the potency of your brews. I hear the grimlings make a very potent sort of tea from the grimroot out in the forest, but the thought of drinking anything made from grimroot makes my stomach churn. At any rate, tinker a bit with that strainer and don't be afraid of trying some new brews with it. If you create anything interesting that you think I might like bring it to me so I can taste it.'

You gain experience!

You receive a Runed Metal Strainer. You can find Grimroot as a ground spawn in Hollowshade Moor at -1950, -1045. Make Spiced Grimroot Tea by combining 1 x Grimroot + 1 x Spices (vendor-purchased) + 1 x Crystal clear water + 1 x Runed Metal Strainer (trivial 162). You can also make Spiced Hollow Palm Tea as suggested by adding Grimroot to the Hollow palm tea recipe (trivial 162). (Recipe 1) - (Recipe 2) - Give some Spiced Grimroot Tea to Merchant Ahlam.

Merchant Ahlam Sniffs the tea, his nose wrinkling up a bit as the fragrance infades his sinuses. He slowly brings the cup to his lips and takes a drink. He swallows it and then begins to cough. MA says. "What is this... *cough* ... made from _____? Grimroot? This is the grimroot tea that the grimlings make? It's not half bad. Very potent indeed. You've earned my seal of approval for that brew. Show me your Runed strainer and the seal and I'll bestow upon you the finest tool I have ever used.
You gain experience!!

You receive Ahlam's Approval.

Hand in the Runed strainer and Ahlam's Approval and you get this reply.


Merchant Ahlam says "Here you are ______, the finest tea strainer you will ever lay your eyes on. The acrylia in the handle will add to the spiritual enhancing effects of almost any brew. It will also take out any impurities in the water you use, so you can use the normal water flasks for your tea now. There are many types of tea across the lands that even I have never had the opportunity to experiment with. Don't be affraid to try new recipes with any strange vegetation you might come across with in your travels."
You gain experience!!

You receive Acrylia Handled Strainer and Ahlam's Approval.

He then asks for the approval and the Runed Metal Strainer. Give them both to him to receive an Acrylia Handled Strainer, which you can use in place of the Runed Metal Strainer to craft Spiced Grimroot Tea or Spiced Hollow Palm Tea (same trivials).

In the barracks of Katta Castellum, there is a sick guard named Legionnaire Neville at 170.42, -2094.40, 32.38.


You say, 'Hail, Legionnaire Neville'

Legionnaire Neville coughs a bit and looks up at you with tired, bleary eyes, 'Ugh, I have not had such a cold as this since I was a boy. I have heard of a tea-maker in the city of the Vah Shir that makes a stamina enhancing tea. I would like to try some and see if it might help.'

You say, 'What tea maker?'

Legionnaire Neville says 'ACHOO! Excuse me. It was some kind of root tea... saucy greyroot... sparkly greenroot... something like that I think. The brewer's name was... Adam... Lama... Oh I just cannot think straight.'

Give him some Spiced Grimroot Tea.

Legionnaire Neville says 'Oh that is good. I feel a little better already, thanks ______! A little more of that stuff and I'll be better in no time.'

Your faction standing with Validus Custodus got better.
Your faction standing with Katta Castellum Citizens got better.
Your faction standing with Magus Conlegium got better.
Your faction standing with Nathyn Illuminious got worse.
Your faction standing with Coterie of the Eternal Night got worse.
Your faction standing with Seru got worse.
Your faction standing with Hand of Seru got worse.
Your faction standing with Eye of Seru got worse.
Your faction standing with Hand Legionnaires got worse.
You gain experience!!

Is there anything more after this step?

Need all dialogues, current faction hits, /loc of quest mobs, exact trivials for items, additional rewards if any, etc.

Gamali can be found in Hollowshade more along the lake near the Paudal Caves zone. Comeing for Paudal, just follow the waterline heading toward Shar Vahl. You can't miss her.

The exact LOC is n1097 p2528. Racknar's directions are right on the money. I have sent update for quest to allakhazam and pic of Gamali to Illia for bestiary entry.
LOC numbers are wrong

Ahlam is at n214, n171. I have found all my gravel pit leaves off of young Hoppers. I think some of them were found in Shadoweaver's thicket.

The loc numbers are relative to where you are standing. Some may not stand on the NPC to get the loc, but take the loc from the point at which they right click or hailed him from. So as long as you are in the vicinity of that NPC you should have no trouble finding him.

Look closer.... as the person correctly stated in their post both numbers are negative. In the quest text at the top the first number is shown as positive. That is what they were referring to.

There aren't any you rockhoppers in Shadeweaver's Thicket. As far as I know, they only spawn in the pit around Shar Vahl.

Plus this is a progressive tradeskill quest. Turning in the poucch is what starts the quest. He then gives you increasingly difficult things to brew, till whatever the big reward is at the end.
