You say, 'Hail, Gunex Eklar'

Gunex Eklar says 'Begone lest you seek instruction, I am very busy. I teach those who [follow the path of rage] as a Shadowknight, the leaders of the Dismal Rage.'

You say, 'i follow the path of rage'

Gunex Eklar says 'As the leaders of the Dismal Rage we Shadowknights forefront of our struggles. We use the spiritual guidance of our Clerics, the Dark Arts of our Necromancers, and the tactics of our Warriors to advance the causes and secure the needs of our followers. If you aspire to be of importance to your colleagues you must first obtain a suit of armor to defend you from the aggressions of our enemies. Take this note to Quan Nektogo here in the eastern quarter of Freeport. He will aid you in the construction of your armor. When you are properly outfitted return to me and I will present you with an [important task].'

Quan Nektogo says 'Sorry buddy I didn�t realize you were one of us. I've got no problem helping out an associate of Gunex. You'll need this Mail Assembly Kit to construct your new armor. The materials required depend on the section of armor you're planning on crafting. Do you plan on crafting a [dismal knight helm], a [dismal knight bracer], [dismal knight gauntlets], [dismal knight boots], [dismal knight vambraces], [dismal knight greaves], or a [dismal knight breastplate].'

You say, 'i want to craft a dismal knight breastplate'

Quan Nektogo says 'To assemble a Dismal Knight Breastplate you will need to obtain four bricks of crude iron and smelt them in a [forge] with a Water Flask and this Crude Breastplate Mold. Once that is done combine the Crude Iron Breastplate with a Medium Quality Cat Pelt, a Giant Leaf Scarab Carapace, and two Giant Leaf Scarab Tergites in the Mail Assembly Kit.'

spawn locations for the scarabs

they spawn pretty often along the road near the hut between inn 1 and 2, and a little west of inn 2. the guards love to kill them quickly, especially slate, so you will need to pull the scarabs away from the pathway or watch closely for slate.

Shoping list for the whole set:

16 bricks of crude iron
8 water flasks
6 ruined cat pelts
3 low quality cat pelts
1 medium quality cat pelt
giant leaf scarab carapace (dont confuse with the regular carapace)
2 giant leaf scarab tergites
2 large leaf scarab tarsi
2 large leaf scarab sternites
2 large leaf scarab patella
2 large leaf scarab eyes
2 leaf scarab tarsi
2 leaf scarab sternites

Remember, only make one bracer at a time to keep from loosing parts.

Getting the bricks is relativly easy, the orc pawns in east commons drop them.

The best and probably only place you will get these little buggers to consistantly pop is by Inn number 1. I managed to get both parts in about a hour and a half. I found it helpful to kill off most of the other spawns around this area repeatedly till the scarabs started to pop.

The large Leaf Scarab will be your bane and mock you constantly. They are hard to get, and are spread from the area just west of Inn 1 all the way down to the west commons on the southern half of the zone. The seem to share this area with large spiders, large fire beatles, bears and cats. Its a big area and the spawns when you clear it drop all over this area.

I have had no trouble finding and killing the Giant Leaf Scarabs, they seem to pop quite often and drop decently the required items. Best spot is just past orc camp 1 at the hidden inn. If it gets a bit thin run over to inn 3 near the WC boarder, or troll up and down the "death strip" as I like to call it between orc 1 and 2. Just don't forget to bring cat repelant.

personally im not doing 2 bracers, mostly because it would be even more work, plus i have a bracer on him already. so that knocks off 1 brick of ore, 1 flask of water, ruined cat pelt, and a leaf scarab sternite.

for the leaf scarabs, i just got done with the leaf scarab tarsus, kill off every fire beetle you see and stay around the ditch in front of inn 1, they spawn like mad in that area. they also seem to have spawned more during the day than night, but that might just be a coincidence. expect to spend a few hours hunting, and make friends with a ranger to help find them.

I can't stand all these nodrop quest items that seem to be extremely rare. I've gotten up to level 9... or is it 10? fighting just members of the leaf scarab family and I've only got gauntlets and bracer to show for it.. *sigh*

This quest can be done. It seems hard and it is. But the items do drop. I have spent levels 4 to 11 just in East commons getting the items. One thing that will help is don't get the bricks from the orcs untill you have enough of the other stuff to complete one piece of armor. There are plenty of orcs and they will drop the ore about 1 in 3 kills. Also I have killed as many beetles as possible to hopefully make the scarabs spawn faster. Or you could hire a Ranger to help track them if you need that. I thought this quest was really a good start in the early levels and I am only in need of one piece before I complete the entire set. Good luck and hang in there.

It's an in-character way of saying "Put this crap in the forge and hit combine." In this case you put 4 iron bricks, a flask of water, and the breastplate mold in.

What are the stats on this thing
Giant Leaf Scarab Carapace
# May 12 2002 at 3:02 PM Rating: Default
Has anyone ever witness these things drop? I've been in EC fighting for 8 to 9 hours, collecting all the other pieces for the rest of my armor, and have yet to see a Giant Leaf Scarab Carapce drop. Granted, it should be fairly rare, since it is for a nice n00b breastplate, but considering I've seen 3 or 4 Giant Fire Beetle Carapaces in the same time is making me wonder whether Verant messed something up, just like that one putrid bone that never dropped in Nektulos.

Yeah, i've seen these thing drop millions of times in East Commons. They drop off of A Giant Leaf Scarab. They are usually by the piller, off the path. Good Hunting.

A Million times? MILLIONS OF TIMES? Since the 8th? thats impossable...

The giant fire beetle carapace that you need for the pally armor is an extremely rare drop too, it's a funny looking thing that looks like a turtle shell. I've seen leaf scarab carapaces drop from giant leaf scarabs, but not a "giant leaf scarab carapace". The leaf scarab carapaces don't work. *sigh* Back to hunting...
