OLD write-up:

Tobon Starpyre, the Wizard Guildmaster, wants you to collect four spare telescope lenses from four observatories around the Steamfonts.

He gives you a rolled up note with the names of the four Royal Observers, three of which are located in the Steamfont Mountains while the last is located in Lesser Faydark.

These are supposedly the four lens locations:
  • The gnome royal observer just outside zone line in Lesser Faydark will give you one if you ask.
  • The gnome royal observer in one of the observatories in Steamfont will also give you one if you ask
  • The gnome royal observer in another observatory tells you it was stolen by a Dark Elf female, Zenita DRin. She is in Freeport in the poor section of town. You can get the lense two ways. Kill her - she is approximatley level 15 and hard to kill.
    Or you can play cards with her (if you have an OK faction with her) by continuously trading her Innoruk's Kiss of Death, which you can purchase at the nearby tavern (she is even sometimes found in the tavern where you get the drink), for a draw of a card until you manage to draw a King.
  • The final royal observer in Steamfont tells you his brother, Bidl Frugrin, went to Kelethin to do some observations with the spare telescope lens.
    He says he has likely found the local tavern and has gotten drunk, wandering the forest by day, and hanging out in the tavern by night. At night, he can be found in the tavern next to Trueshot Bows in Kelethin and happily gives you the telescope lens.

    Take the lenses to Tobon Starpyre and give all four to him at once. He will give you a level 8 spell (Fire bolt being one) and approx 1 pp.

    A user on the everquest forums shared that if you say the phrase while not targeting Fodin he will give you the lens:

    You say, 'I need a spare telescope lens' (While not targeting Fodin)

    Fodin Frugrin says, 'Spare telescopic lens? I am sorry but I don't have any spares right now... Oh wait! I do. Here you are, my friend. Careful with that. They are very rare.'

    Receive: Telescope Lens [Fodin's Lens]

    Now to find, Bidl Frugrin.

    I can confirm this on Aradune.

    While I had Fodin targeted, he gave the "I am a member of the library..." line. But, once untargeted him, which was me targeting myself, and then said: I need a spare telescope lens," he gave me one. Now, of course, to figure of the Bidl problem.....

    Today I tried this and as stated I got the same response from the first guy Fodin Frugrin. I have tried different variations of the request and even tried Tobon wants a spare telescope lens.

    You say, 'I need a spare telescope lens'

    Fodin Frugrin says 'I am Fodin Frugin, observer for the Library of Mechanimagica.'

    Edit: So I tried "The library of Mechanimagica needs a spare telescope lens. He responded with:

    Fodin Frugrin says 'So they found another young member to attend to their putrid hunt, eh? Take this box. You will notice that your box has ten slots and does not smell very good. That is because each slot must be filled with the diseased livers of infected rats. Hop to it, then! Go get some diseased livers. And if you should get bitten and find yourself diseased or poisoned, be sure to visit the Abbey of Deep Musing. They have healers who can cure disease. Do not forget to return the box to Larkon.'

    This is the part of the Air tight box quest line. This leads me to believe he is not giving me a lens because my faction is not high enough at amiable to get him to give me a lens. If anyone has higher than amiable with him, then I would like them to test this theory.

    Does look to be broken due to Fodin not responding to any of the prompt text regarding the telescope lens. Looks like if you say literally anything to him he doesn't have a preprogrammed response for he will give you that canned 'I am Fodin Frugin, observer for the Library of Mechanimagica.' response.

    It is weird though that he will give you the Air Tight Box quest when you say "Library" to him, the alternative/correct keyword to request that seems to be "Larkon" so I'm not sure why that is or if it is related at all to his brokenness in regards to this quest.

    I'm going to mark this down as Removed for now, if anyone can successfully complete it or find a way for Fodin to actually give the Lens I'd love to know so we could get the final writeup for this completed.

    First stop, Fodin Frugrin and got stuck. Wouldn't give me a lens. Is this quest broken?

    It also seems like a lot of trouble to go to to get some low level spells for free that you could spend a few silver or maybe a few gold for at the most. Your time would be better spent killing stuff and selling the items that drop for the money you need to buy the spells from a vendor. If this was higher level spells that require researching, questing, or killing high level mobs to get to drop then it might be worth it but not for low level spells, most of which will be replaced by more powerful versions as you level.

    Where is Bidl Frugrin exactly? I have waited for 4 days straight in game time, for him to spawn in and near the tavern on the same platform as Trueshots Bow during night time. And he never shows. Does anyone know his exact location during the day or night time, as in coordinates? He is the last one I need for this quest. Thanks.

    Any luck finding Bidl? If so, where was he? I've looked in the tavern next to Trueshot Bows every night for a couple of weeks now, without success.
    RE: Bidl Frugrin?
    # Nov 04 2003 at 8:08 PM Rating: Decent
    Like you others I'm stuck on Bidl. Should I be waiting at/near the tavern on the Trueshot Bows platform? Or should I be hunting by day and looking for him there at night each night until I find him? Does he spawn there or come there from somewhere else? I know this isn't the best rated quest, but it's my first and I'm hoping to start this game with a success story. Only one lens to go...

    Enchanter and the guy in Kelethin
    # Feb 05 2002 at 11:14 AM Rating: Decent
    I am a 9th level enchanter. When I first asked the gnome in the tavern near Kelethin for the lens, he said I had much to do for Mechamagica, but after using gnome illusion and alliance, he coughed it right up.

    I was hunting on wisp isle the other day and swam out from the point where the ogre woman stands. I found a lens in the water there. I was wondering is this for the same quest. It is no drop and did respawn when i swam back out.

    She con'd black to my level 9 cleric and I had no problem killing her, but it will lower your faction with every group found in east freeport.

    You find her in what's referred to as the Common Area on the map at the back of the Everquest instruction manual. She asks if you want to 'fight' or 'play a card game of chance'. Playing cards can be expensive (6.4 sp a go) and Innoruk's Kiss of Death is a Lore Item so be prepared to do a lot of running to and fro. Although the exp id pretty good for a newbie, in the end, it might be cheaper to just buy the spell. :)

    One of the funny things about stackable lore items: they're lore only in that you can only have one STACK of them. Found this out when I accidentally held down shift buying - guess what - the Innoruuk's Kisses of Death. Hey, they're the perfect drink for a dark elf. "Oops... oh. That's cool."

    Another funny thing about stackable lore items: if you buy them individually or loot them, you can ony have one!
    Bidl won't give

    Zenita DRin gave me lens on 11th card (how do I get rid of the first 10 no-drop cards?), but then Bidl Frigun, who cons indiffrent to me in the tavern, wont do or say anything but how sweet the wine is in Kelethim. I tried giving him wine, he just says thanks for donating to the library, and no lens. must have tried 50 combos on lens, brother, royal observor, Tobon, etc. Any ideas?

    Haven't seen Zenita yet, but you can prob destroy the 10 cards you didn't need.

    Having the same problem with "Frigun" Bidl though. Used pretty much the same keywords/phrases you did. I'll post if I figure him out.

    PS pretty grusome watching all those bodies falling from the platforms while running around in K!

    I just went up to him & said "I need a spare telescope lens" like I did on the two observer gnomes in Steamfont & LFay. He was happy to hand it over. I /conned amiable to him but indif should work I'd think. I probably only have that since I rather like the Airtight Box quest for my level (twice so far, working on third by lvl 5) pus have done some of the low-exp faction giving warrior ones (C model black box one). Hope it helps...and hope if I'm KOS to DE lady I can find some kind soul to kill her for me or else I'm stuck hunting EC at lvl 5 as a gnome. :CP
    Where is Zenita?
    # Mar 29 2001 at 5:42 AM Rating: Decent
    I've looked all over East Freeport for her, I even waited in The Seafarer for a game day and never saw her. Does she spawn in a certain point?
    RE: Where is Zenita?
    # Apr 19 2001 at 6:33 PM Rating: Default
    Well, found her right away. She's in that pit area in EFP, near the Chop and Hops. bought about 10 of the drinks for her before she gave me the king card. Hope that helps.

    This was a hard quest

    I can't beleive that I actually finished this quest as a second level gnome all by my self:)
    RE: This was a hard quest
    # Jul 07 2001 at 1:57 PM Rating: Default
    I can't believe it, too!

    You have done it all by yourself? Even the walking? Ah, now i know why gnomes are so small...
    They are walking too much:)

    I am still tall, i purchased my level 8 spells :)

    Min Level is WRONG

    Since you don't have to fight dark elf, you can actually do this quest at almost any level. The only hard part is getting between Ak'Anon and Freeport.

    I just Con'd Zenita DRin - she is blue to my level 10 Druid and con's indifferent. Didn't fight her, but saw a wizzy talking to her.
