Halfling Cultural Armor (DoN)  

I've still had no luck with turn-in to Whistletop lol I have all the right items lol i even tried turning them in, in different order still nothing, still the same message saying I have to turn in items at once in order to complete quest. Has anybody else still haveing the same problem?

Does anyone know where Racnar Hides drop? If so please help. Thanks

ive been trying to start this quest since DoN came out and Bill still wont take the items for the ancestoral book. i logged on yesterday and tried to give him the bundle of optic nerves, cat skull cap, fractured femur, and bead necklace and he wouldnt take them. i hailded him and went through the dialogue and noticed they changed it a little. i went and got a mino horn and tried the hand in again but he still wouldnt take it. i thought possably the items i previously tried handing had been tainted from when the quest was broken so i deleted all the items, and went out and got them all again. i come back and the little **** still wont accept them. anyone know what i might be doing wrong?

Last task is called Creatures of the Temple

Kill 120 Stillmoon Creatures
Recover 80 Fractured Drake Claws
Give Bill 4 claws
Kill 10 Stillmoon Stone casters
Recover one Razor Sharp Drake Claw from a Stillmoon Stone Caster
***
Assuming the last step is give the claw to Bill but havent completed the caster step yet. Will post that and end text if someone hasnt by then.

*edit* Found and killed Stillmoon stonecasters (one word) but it didn't count towards the task. Went to every DoN zone with drakes and found no other Stillmoon stone casters. Not sure if the task is bugged or if there is some rare spawn I'm not aware of.

1) kill 40 Elemental Warriors in the hole (Ruins of Old Paineel).

I copied Vasner's format... looks nice, hope you don't mind. :>)

Has any one been able to do combine yet. I tried combining water flask, thimble mold, needle mold amd a small brick of mercurium. All i get is message....You can not combine these iitems this container type......

1) kill 80 Decayed Soldiers in Karnor's Castle
2) Collect 40 bone chips (collected mine off the soldiers)

3) Return to Bill Whistletop and give him 4 bone chips.
------------
4) Search the Jail Area (just walk by the jail cells and you get a completed message)
5) Kill 5 Spectral Knights
6) collect 1 bone chip (it said something about a pristine bone chip fragment, but I looted a regular bone chip off a spectral knight and that worked)
7) return the bone chip to Bill Whistletop for the book

Here is the dialog for the first part from my log today...


You say, 'Hail, Bill Whistletop'

Bill Whistletop says 'Hi-oh there, Dryssa. You startled me. I'm busy compiling notes for my compendium; it'll be a complete [history] or Rivervale for an entire century. Imagine that!'

You say, 'what history?'

Bill Whistletop says 'Well, it's not really a history book, not exactly. It's more like I just sit around and write about whatever's [going on] in Rivervale at the moment. I've been doing this for thirty seven years now, so, um, hey, I'm almost half done!'

You say, 'So, what has been going on?'

Bill Whistletop says 'Yeah, I write down everything: fishing trips, crop yields, new card games I pick up. Hmm, I guess it's more of a journal then a history book. . . Oh well, it's still chalk full of historical [significance].'

You say, 'What kind of significance?'

Bill Whistletop says 'Heck yes, I write down everything so some of it has got to be important. For example, I copied down all those [armor patterns] and [cultural symbol patterns] that were displayed during that spring festival eleven years ago. You know the one where we had that competition to see who could make the best suit of armor! Boy, that was a great festival. The apple tarts were amazing. I'm glad I wrote down the recipe for those too!'

You say, 'What armor patterns?'

Bill Whistletop says 'Oh, you're interested in the armor, huh? I guess you do look like the adventuring sort. Well, heck, I can make you an armor pattern book if you want? I have all the designs written down and recorded somewhere in one of my journals; all I'll need is the materials for the pattern book itself. Just bring me a cat skull cap for the cover, a fractured femur for the spine, a minotaur horn for the clasp, and a bunch of optic nerves to grind down and make a salve, which will protect and preserve the finished product. I hear these items can be found in the Runnyeye Goblin territory and the Beholder's Maze, but I'm not really sure? Anyway, once I have those, I can make you a pattern book. Hey, then we can go fishing!'

You say, 'What cultural symbol patterns?'

Bill Whistletop says 'You're interested in the cultural symbol patterns I see. I can give you a book of cultural symbol patterns but I will need you to run a few tasks for me before I can give them to you. What do you say; would you like to run a few short [tasks] for me?'

You say, 'I will do your tasks.'

Bill Whistletop says 'I have four tasks that need to be completed. The first is an adventure into [Beholder's Maze] where you will clear a path for young Halflings so they can make a safe passage through the maze to East Karana. The next you will be tasked with venturing into the heart of [the Hole] where you hunt for some ingredients for my drip clock. The third task leads you into [Karnor's Castle] where you will collect bone specimen for my collection. The final task you will adventure into [Stillmoon temple] and learn about the creatures that inhabit the area.'

You say, 'I will go to the Beholder's Maze.'
You have been assigned the task 'Storming the Maze'.

[Kill 10 Minos, Loot 4 axes, Return 4 axes, Explore the ruins, Kill 10 Evil Eyes, Loot 1 PBB]

[turn in a cat skull cap, fractured femur, a minotaur horn, and a bunch of optic nerves]
Bill Whistletop says 'Oh, hey there, Dryssa. I'm still working on my history book. In fact, I just wrote down the part where we first met. Here let me read it for you!' Bill clears his throat, 'Ahem, so I was writing my history book when Dryssa comes up to me and says 'Hail.' And so I reply. . .' Bill continues to ramble on for many minutes. Finally, he gets to the end of his journal and looks up. He blinks as though surprised that you are still here. 'Oh, yeah, the armor pattern book. Sorry, I forgot about that. Here you go!'
[receive armor book pattern]


[turn in Polished Bone Bracelet (last part of Task)]
I'm glad to see you have made it back. Surely you have some proof of these HUGE eyes now that you mention! With the bracelet I will say that you have earned these cultural symbol patterns.


Note that the above line starting with "I'm glad to see..." is in yellow and didn't come from Bill Whistletop in /say.

You need a fractured femure, bunch of optic nerves, cat skull cap, and a minotuar horn.. not beads. I just did the quest this morning and had no problem turning in the 4 items and getting the ancestral book.

Went to Blackburrow for bead neclace. Either no neclace is the right one, or it's a bug lol. I've hunted in both Runnyeye, and Beholders for hours no bead neclace drop I found.

If anybody figures out the ancestral book post it lol. I've got my fractured femur, optic nerves, cat skull cap, and bead neclace, but when I hand them to Bill Whistletop all I get is a message saying "You must turn in all quest items at once in order to complete this quest" just for kicks I tried Warbeads, and Shattered beads and still get the same result.
