Ancestral Wood Elven Armor

Find Calian Silverlake in Kelethin, location +942, +660.

You say, 'Hail, Calian Silverlake'

Calian Silverlake says 'Ah, the blessings of Tunare upon you _____. Perhaps you have come in search of lessons on how to create some new [armor]? Or maybe it was to hear a bit about the natural world and our history?'

You say, 'What armor?'

Calian Silverlake says 'I thought you might be interested in my new [designs], your current armor looks a bit worn. I've recently discovered a way of crafting the essence of the natural world into my armor pieces. Armor crafted in this manner comes out better than anything the elders have seen before. You may also be interested in the [runes] I have discovered for these armor pieces.'

You say, 'What designs?'

Calian Silverlake says 'I suppose I could share a book of my designs with you, but I cannot give you mine. It's the only copy I have! I'll make you a deal though, if you can bring me the [materials] to create a new book I'll make a copy for you to use.'

You say, 'What runes?'

Calian Silverlake says 'These runes can be quite complicated to create but are well worth the effort. They serve to enhance the natural forces in the armor and can bring untold benefits when put to use by a skilled crafter. If you're interested, I would be willing to give you instructions on how to create these runes in exchange for your [help].'

You say, 'What materials?'

Calian Silverlake says 'I'll need a some zombie skin and darkbone marrow from the Estate of Unrest. I can use those to create the cover and ink for the book. I'll also need some of the battle beads from Crushbone to help bind the book and a rotting orc tooth to complete the ink. Once I have those I will have a copy made for you.'

Hand in the items.

Artisan Calian Silverlake says "Well done! You truly are a resourceful one. Undoubtly Tunare looks kindly upon you. Once you have mastered your craft enough, perhaps you will be able to use these patterns to your benefit."
You gain party experience

You say, 'I will help.'

This is better than newbie stuff -- If you are a Woodelf Ranger and want to do the Kelethin thing as a new toon. Crushbone is close by and this is worth doing the Trueshot armor
Is this the best type of armor to get?
# May 15 2012 at 3:19 PM Rating: Decent
I'm trying decide if it is really worth doing these quests...is that the best armor there is?? or is this just done for the thrill of doing it?
Runes
# Jun 30 2008 at 8:22 AM Rating: Decent
Calian is not responding to "What runes?" or anything about runes at all, I'm stuck.

The Ancestral Armor quest is now given by Nala Goldenthorn for Kelethin Half-Elves, likely still the same for Wood Elves

When turning in the battle beads, orc tooth, zombie skin, and darkbone marrow you get the following dialogue (to fill the gap above):

Artisan Calian Silverlake says 'Well done! You truly are a resourceful one. Undoubtedly Tunare looks kindly upon you. Once you have mastered your craft enough perhaps you will be able to use these patterns to your benefit.'

I tried to MQ this today, and I got the message: "You must turn in all quest items at once in order to complete this quest."

You have been forwarned. But hey, how hard are crushbone battle beads and rotting orc teeth to get anyway?

# Dec 06 2006 at 10:00 PM Rating: Decent
Can someone please post how you get into the Sanctum area of Acrylia Caverns to kill the Sanctum Grimlins for the Masters section of the cultural armors quest. I went there tonight and could not figure it out, and searched all through anything regarding Acrylia Caverns for info.

Thanks ahead of time

If you are only interested in making Grandmaster Gear is it possible to ignore all previous tasks and skip straight to the Isle Drakes quest?

Journeyman Task

My druid recently did the Crushbone Task for the Journeyman's Book of Wood Elven culture and it seems that the number of Preserved Orc Hide(s) to be looted and turned in has been reduced from four to only two.

No dialogue for handing in bone chips. However, in task progression it states:

You seem to be able to handle the dangers of the city quite well. There is one other item I'd like you to retreive for me from there. The army behemouths that reside there hold particular interest for me. They are partly made of a strange ochre clay that I would like to see if I could make use of. Kill several of them for me and collect a sample of the clay.

Hugs,

Did this today and only requires 2 preserved orc hides.

Dialogue after handing in Illegible scroll

Calian takes the scroll and begins working at deciphering it. 'This is very interesting, thank you for retrieving it for me. Before I get too busy with this, here are the instructions I promised you.'

You have been given: Journeyman's Book... etc

Hugs,

The conversation is now changed:

You say, 'what new underground place?'
Calian Silverlake says 'I have heard about the most amazing thing from a new underground area that just opened up. There are these huge Geodes. Can you bring me one? If you do I will give you a new pattern book for some seals you can make for your armor.'

then you get your task window with the task " Darkhollow Geode" asking to loot one large darkhollow geode. (there are only 2 steps in the task: loot the geode, and something else, not done quest as I am too young)

/em is wondering what the heck I am missing here...this stuff not worth making....<?>
RE: What am i missing here?
# Aug 27 2005 at 11:57 PM Rating: Decent
Dont just look at the stats of the armor you would be able to make at Grandmaster level. Also consider the Augs you could place into its 3 slots. Easily some of the best gear you can obtain without having to assemble a raid force. I did not say THE best, but very comparable. But, hey, if you dont want to put the effort into smithing or tailoring, then by all means, get together a raid force, and get into time, or VT, or Anguish, or whatever, and have your fun that way. Course now we are going to have to read about someone saying that those places dont need a raid force, or blah blah blah.

in order

Just starting this> Do I have to start at Journeymans to get this done? Or can I jump to the top.

# Sep 01 2005 at 10:20 AM Rating: Decent
I have done the first 3 quests solo. The fourth quest requires a group so, unfortunately, I probably won't complete it. But do I really need the GM book? I was told I only really need the first book to make my patterns...?

RE: in order
# Sep 10 2005 at 9:35 AM Rating: Decent
you need the book because each book makes its own special set of patterns, and without these patterns you can't do much of anything, I have both journeymans and experts books and patterns...I just can't get the rest down from there so I know I'm missing something
