  • Hand the Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl Shawl to Dain Frostreaver IV.

    Dain Frostreaver IV says 'Ah Trewayn. I was hoping to see you. We require your skilled hand. The Armory is overtaxed preparing armor for the war that we are preparing to wage on the Kromzek. We need you to help them by creating some Field Plate for a mission that is near to execution. Go see Loremaster Solstrin in the Hall of Ancestors, give him these orders. He holds the lore recorded on how to make the field plate. Return to me when you have completed a Standard Issue Kit.'

    May Brell guide your hand friend, good luck to you.'

  • Receive Forge of Icewell Arms and Precious Gem Study.

    You say, 'Working with gemstones?'

    You say, 'An Issue Kit?'

    Loremaster Solstrin says 'The Standard Issue Kit is what we issue to soldiers at the beginning of their mission. I have this empty one here. Place a complete set of Imbued Royal Velium Armor into it before you give it to the Dain.'

  • Hand the Coldain Standard Issue Kit which you created to Dain Frostreaver IV.

    Dain Frostreaver IV says 'Excellent work Adorean. If I didn't know I would assume this was made by our most skilled artisans. You must hurry, General Bragmur has formed camp in Iceclad. Take the kit to the General, he had to drudge forward without any armor. His [mission] must be a success if we hope to successfully defend Thurgadin against the Giants.'

  • Receive two items: Approved Issue Kit and Expedition Orders.

    You say, 'What mission?'

    Dain Frostreaver IV says 'After General Bragmur has equipped the armor you have created for him, give him these orders. He is a skilled diplomat and will need to reach the pirate Gnomes. We must enter into a pact with them. We will supply them with the velium that they need to build their silly gadgets, and they will take their ship back to Antonica and call for reinforcements from our ancestors. We hope they will accept this pact, after all Brell has been known to align himself with Bristlebane whom the Gnomes of Iceclad follow. You may be an important [factor] in their success'

    You say, 'What factor?'

    Dain Frostreaver IV says 'I fear that spies lurk in every corner. You may need to help the General reach the gnomish camp if the Kromrif has gotten word of our efforts. You should call on any allies that you have to assist in case they ambush you. Brell bless you Adorean, good luck.'



    Iceclad Ocean

  • Find General Bragmur at location -3400, +9000.

    General Bragmur begins to put the armor, 'Finally the Dain has gotten word of my arrival here. I await his final orders before proceeding.'

  • Hand General Bragmur the Expedition Orders.

    General Bragmur says 'The final orders, follow me closely! I pray that the Kromrif have not learned of our plans to allign with the gnomes.'

    You will face 5 Encounters.



    First Encounter: -3550 +7550

    Commander Vjorik shouts 'The tracking wolves have found the Coldain! To the South West, Charge him!'

    Four Kromrif Tracking Wolves spawn and attack. These cannot be snared or rooted. Unsure about stuns or mezzes. The wolves are not difficult.

    The Tracking Wolf Coller drops here.

    After the fight the General heads to the north again.



    Second Encounter: -2200 +7250 (right next to the stone building)

    Four Frost Giant Skirmishers spawn and attack. They hit for a max ~178 and are again easily dispatched.

    The Spiked Velium Mallet drops here.

    After the fight, the General heads northeast.



    Third Encounter: -1100 +5950 (by one of the square dragon pillars)

    Commander Kvarid and three Frost Giant Skirmishers spawn and attack. (They spawn on the General.) They cannot be stunned, mezzed, rooted or snared. The Frost Giant Skirmishers are level 55 and Commander Kvarid is 57.

    Commander Kvarid's corpse shouts 'Arghhhh! Though you have felled me your plans shall not succeed! Rallos will destroy you all for invading our lands!'

    The Ice Forged helmet drops here.

    After the fight, the General heads northeast.



    Fourth Encounter: +1500, +2250 (near Tower of Frozen Shadow)

    Five Kromrif Tracking Wolves spawn and attack.

    The Drakkel Wolf Claws drop here.



    Fifth Encounter: +3700, +2650 (the lone tree on the hill)

    Commander Vjorik and five Frost Giant Skirmishers spawn and attack. (They spawn on the General.)

    Ritap says 'Arrrrrrrrrrr!'



    Iceclad Pirate Encampment

    Captain Nalot says 'Hrm? Who is scuffin' around out here?'

    General Bragmur says 'Greetings Captian Nalot, I have come to you with a proposition to make.'

    Captain Nalot says 'Arrrrrr what is it ye want?'

    General Bragmur says 'Well ya see sir, we have a surplus of Velium that we would not mind sharing with you for yer tinkerin' but would ask a favor in return for it.'

    Captain Nalot says 'Velium eh? Well there matey lets hear what you have got to say!'

    General Bragmur says 'I represent the Dain in this matter, we would like for you to use yer Icebreaker there to head to Antonica and bring reinforcements for the war that is preparing to ensue. We are needin' all the help we can get against the Kromrif.'

    Adisson Stubblechin says 'Don't be thinkin' I was forgettin' ya, Nilham, ya spotty-faced salt licker. Remember, ya tell us where ya put our rum, an' we let ya out. Otherwise, ya have ta stay here!'

    Avatar of Below 's voice echoes through the area. 'The efforts to help the Coldain and bring them together with the gnomes of Iceclad is quite impressive. There will be no doubt that they will continue to increase in power until they can overtake the Giants of Zek. Hey there, what is that on your shoulder?'

    You say, 'Its a runed coldain prayer shawl'

    Avatar of Below says 'So it is the sacred rune of the Coldain. Let me have a closer look at it.'

  • Hand the Avatar of Below the Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl.

    Avatar of Below holds the shawl up close to one eye to look at the rune sewn into it. He smiles to himself and then drops it to the ground and places one hand on it. A bright blue glow starts to emanate in the snow, then there is a sudden flash! The Avatar has dissipated. All that is left behind is the Shawl lying in the snow, shimmering with a new power. Pirotess slowly bends down to pick it up, and is infused with a blessing from Brell.

  • Receive Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl.

    General Bragmur says 'I must go tell the Dain of these events immediately!'

    Captain Nalot scratches his head, 'Yar ya do that ya crazy Coldain.'

    This was the worst quest write up i have seen.
    Dont put the spawn daine part FIRST when its the middle of the quest that you actualy need him.

    Might want too say, hey, u need two bracers, and farm enough supplies, for 8 items , not 7, but you did not, and here you are winning Bronut's Award for PoS quest write up of the century.

    I did the very top part of the quest under the description but then I past up Dain's Chamber and Hall of the Ancestors parts. I went immediately to Jewelry Shop and continues from there. I have not finished it yet and I am not sure where in the step you receive the final orders. I suspect you get them when you spawn the Dain for the last time but not sure according to the write up. Yes he does give you the orders and I was able to complete the 8th quest skipping the 2 steps.

    Ok I am going to save you all a TON of trouble here. Do Not, I repeat DO NOT hand your Runed Prayer Shawl to Loremaster Solstrin first even though he asks to see it to get a coldain issue kit. IF you do it will invisibly mark your shawl as MARK 2 and you will NOT be able to spawn the Dain later by handing your shawl to Chamberlain Krystof even though he has never been given your shawl. The Chamberlain will just say "As I stated previously, you should show this to the Dain." NO SPAWN, Nothing. Save yourself the aggravation having to wait 3-7 days for the Dain to pop. I was fortunate enough to get a GM to quickly respond and confirm that some of the quest dialog is incorrect & it has been reported to the dev team.

    Unfortunately, handing your Shawl to Loremaster Solstrin is not the first step in the 8th Shawl. It's the last step in the 7th Shawl. By the time folks read your warning, the damage has been done.

    On the 7th Shawl, I handed the Shawl to the Loremaster because the 7th Shawl write up said to. I didn't see the warning till I started reading the 8th Shawl write up.

    I can confirm that Yo Pauly's advice is good and I wish I had read it first. DO NOT DO THIS STEP:
    "Hand Loremaster Solstrin your Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 1)."


    The text in alla's quest guide is misleading. The line "(note: This step is not required, if you spawn Dain, you may not respawn him later) " should go immediately alongside the Loremaster Solstrin step above rather than under the subheading "Dain's Chamber - Icewell Keep ". Ie you should read the start of the quest as follows:
    Quote:
    (Note: This following step is not required and if you spawn Dain, you may not respawn him later. Avoid doing this step!)
    Hand Loremaster Solstrin your Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 1).

    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.'

    Receive Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 2) and an Empty Coldain Issue Kit.


    Dain's Chamber - Icewell Keep
    Either:
    • 1. Give Chamberlain Krystorf the Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 1). Dain Frostreaver IV spawns. Receive Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 2) - (To prevent respawning of Dain)
    • 2. Give Chamberlain Krystorf the Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 2). Dain does not spawn. Receive Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 2).

    Soooo immediately after posting this I switched back into EQ and Dain was up. This was either crazy timing, or they have fixed this bug. I still recommend following his advice just in case however :).

    I'm now very confident that they fixed the spawning of Dain. After making the armor and creating the Complete Issue Kit I went back to Icewell Keep and sure enough, Dain wasn't up. On a whim I handed Chamberlain Krystorf my Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl again and again he said "As I stated previously, you should show this to the Dain.". I stuck around just as I had when typing my earlier post and sure enough after around 5-10 minutes I saw:
    Quote:
    Chamberlain Krystorf shouts 'The Royal Court of Dain Frostreaver IV and his council of advisors [sic] is now in session. Those citizens with official business for the crown please report to the throne room at this time.'

    Immediately followed by Dain spawning.

    Hand Loremaster Borannin your Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 1).

    Loremaster Borannin 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.

    Receive Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 1)

    The above quoted is incorrect. The in-game workings of this quest were apparently changed somewhere along the way -- I believe its bugged, not intentional. Now, this quest technically begins with Loremaster Solstrin in Icewell Keep. Give your #7 shawl to Solstrin, an he replies with the above text. Those are Solstrin's words, not Borannin's words. Now, Borannin won't offer any further dialogue upon completion of shawl #7 -- although it would seem he did at some point in the past.

    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.'

    He exchanges the original #7 Shawl for the updated version (Lore: Approved by Dain) and simultaneously provides the Empty Coldain Issue Kit used in this quest.

    Yes, it would appear that giving the #7 shawl to Solstrin now EATS your ability to summon the Dain via Chamberlain Krystof.

    This part is wrong. Should be Loremaster Solstrin not borannin as he will not take shawl at this point.

    Hand Loremaster Borannin your Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 1).

    Loremaster Borannin 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.

    Please Change to,



    Hand Loremaster Solstrin your Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 1).

    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.

    Also at the end of #7 has Borannin instead of Solstrin.

    You have to speak to the Dain twice for this quest but only have the ability to spawn him ONCE.
    The EQTC walk through gives a nice explanation of how to get all the items first - then spawn the Dain, craft your final item, and while the
    Dain is still up hand him back what's required. So you do it all with one spawning of the Dain. I wish I had read this first so I'm posting it for others.

    Ok this is what happened. I did it on my druid and everything went smoothly. then i started the final part on my chanter- where you follow the General around. I has to wait 4 hours or so for him to respawn. I lost him after the 3rd wave. he was absolutely nowhere. So i petitioned it.

    The gm gave me the armor and the expedition orders. I waited again for him to respawn. I gave him the armor and he put it on. then i gave him the orders. he gave them back to me and said he wasn't moving without final orders. I gave them to him again, and again he gave them back. I was very upset but i started the armor part all over again. I did all the hunting and combining and then went to see the Dain. But of course, i couldn't spawn him because he had already appreved my prayer shawl. i checked another character to pick up some mail while waiting for him to spawn and lo and behold but the gm had given her a kit and orders. she wasn't even doing the quest. i logged back to my chanter. then i saw someone else in the Dain's chamber. Come to find out he was also doing the quest. my computer has been giving me problems.

    I went to open up my browser and i don't know what happened, but suddenly they were all coming at me and my pet was on them -- needless to say my druid had to get me out of there. luckily i was boxing her.

    I went back in and the other group had spawned the Dain. I got the royal orders from him, ran down and got a kit and combined it and ran back to the Dain, who had gone to his bedroom by now. I did the turn in and he began to talk to me. I followed the conversation to the end but got no other orders. I was upset about that, but decided to try it anyhow. I still had the expedition orders that had been refused several times the day before.

    I was in for a surprise when i got to the General. There were 2 of them up. One still had my armor on him. I thought for sure he would have despawned. So i tried again to give him the orders. To my shock he accepted them. this time i followed the druid who followed the general and we let the mercs do most of the fighting. I never took my eyes off him. The mobs all aggroed on me without ever having to target anyone. I did throw a few spells but my main goal was to not let him out of my sight. I am now the proud owner of my prayer shawl and btw, i still have 2 sets of approved armor and 1 expedition order if anyone on the Luclin server needs an mq.

    Dain's Chamber - Icewell Keep

    (note: This step is not required, if you spawn Dain, you may not respawn him later)

    Give Chamberlain Krystorf the Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 1) if the Dain is not spawned.

    Receive Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 2) - (To prevent respawning of Dain)

    Chamberlain Krystorf says 'One moment the Dain has been waiting for you. I will call for him.. oh here he is now, show your shawl to him.'

    Hand the Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl Shawl to Dain Frostreaver IV.

    Dain Frostreaver IV says 'Ah Trewayn. I was hoping to see you. We require your skilled hand. The Armory is overtaxed preparing armor for the war that we are preparing to wage on the Kromzek. We need you to help them by creating some Field Plate for a mission that is near to execution. Go see Loremaster Solstrin in the Hall of Ancestors, give him these orders. He holds the lore recorded on how to make the field plate. Return to me when you have completed a Standard Issue Kit.'

    Receive Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl (Mark 2)
    Receive set of orders for Solstrin.

    So if it is not required and since he has to be spawned again to do the turn-in-- then how do i get the orders for solstrin so i can get my kit???

    About to attempt this on Fippy progression server. Can anyone tell me what happens if you fail the final part? Do you keep the issue kit to redo or do you need to make all the items again?

    Thanks

    No need for AE aggro

    Did this solo, no merc, today, was an easy stroll. Each time the general got to a spawn spot, all I had to do was hit one mob and they all turned on me; my concern that getting the whole group on me might take too long and the general would take too much damage was unfounded. I didn't aggro the general at all, didn't have to use AE aggro nor was there any reason to stop him moving. I had planned to use AE aggro if needed and then FD to clear his aggro on me, so I'd removed all DS... but it turned out unimportant.
    Aggro general?

    Anyone know if you can AE aggro so that mobs will hit you instead of the General? If he aggros, can you mez/mem blur him and continue with the quest?
    Aggro general?
    # Apr 07 2010 at 8:38 PM Rating: Good
    I have seen it posted a couple of times in other threads where people say the General can be mem-blurred and he will continue the journey. One post mentioned it in passing where they said if someone gets agro be ready to mem-blur the General or have a mage CotH them or a wizard punt them somewhere. The other thread talked about intentionally having someone agro the General to run him away from the fights to keep him safe and then mem-blurring him after the fight to move on to the next stage.

    I have not tried it myself, but it sounds reasonable.
    Aggro general?

    Thank you for help. FYI for those who are trying this - General is no mez, but is aggroable. Mem blur works like a charm. Thank you all!!!

    Contrary to what some think, this quest is not deleted and people can still finish it if they want to have access to the new shawl quest. I finished it yesterday (5/5/10)

    Moments ago I completed the Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl for my cleric with my 3-box crew. It consisted of all level 65's warrior, cleric and shaman.

    The key to the win was staying calm and carefully targeting all mobs for agro quickly. I didn't even come close to dieing. I have completed this quest four times with my toons and this was the first solo-box attempt. It was easier than all the other attempts to date. I knew what to expect and I didn't have to play "raid leader" for the groups I've had in the past.

    The item itself is only an upgrade in mana regen and the focus as I am still only level 65. I will still wear it proudly until the focus is no longer useful.

    The shaman is next.

    Getting this quest done was my proudest moment in EQ. I still had it when I turned lv 70. (sadly)

    Can someone PLEASE add this fact to the write-up for this quest: you need to make TWO (2) Imbued Royal Velium Bracers for your Standard Issue Kit. This fact cost us so much time ...kept trying to figure out why the combine wasn't working....went over the write-up several times ... had everything it told us was needed...wasn't until i read all the posts and got to one way far down the list, that i discovered you needed 2 for the combine to be successful.
