    Talk to Phin Esrinap of the monk's guild in North Qeynos and say "Where is Konem?." He will say he left somewhere and hasn't returned, and will give you a note (a message to Konem) to take to him.

    You will see him randomly say,

    Phin Esrinap says, 'I can't believe that lazy [Konem] has been gone for over two days. That's the last time I send that guy out for me.'

    You say, 'Hail, Phin Esrinap'

    You say, 'who is konem?'

    Phin Esrinap says 'Ah yes, Konem. I had him run an errand out to Surefall Glade over two days ago, and he still hasn't returned. Knowing Konem, he probably found a nice shady tree to take a nap under. If you happen to pass by him, could you please take him this note? Thanks, _____________, and be safe.'


    (Dialogues?)

    Konem Matse is in Qeynos Hills. He is always very close to one of the two paths and he is usually under a tree. Give the note to Konem.


    You say, 'Hail, Konem Matse'

    Konem Matse says 'Ah, greetings, young __________, how are you on this fine day? Perfect day for a nice stroll through the hills, if I do say so myself.'

    Konem Matse says 'Oh I see.. Phin's always after me about something. I mean, it's not my fault the order hasn't come in yet. Hey, since I'm so busy right now, why don't you be a friend and take this back to Phin for me, huh?'

    Your faction standing with Silent Fist Clan has been adjusted by 5.

    You gain experience!!

    You receive: Grathin's Invoice

    It reads:

    Phin -- I am sorry to report that the wooden arms you ordered last week, have not yet arrived. I've sent my assistant to find out what happened to the last trade caravan. Probably bandits again. I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything. -- Grathin

    Give it to Phin.

    Phin Esrinap says 'Oh this is not good. Too many innocent traders have been getting robbed lately by the those vile bandits out in the Karanas. Something must be done soon. Anyway, thank you for delivering the message.. you did well, young Darid. Here's a little something to quench your thirst from all that running around.'

    Phin randomly does this, once or twice a day unprompted :
    [Sat May 21 13:05:50 2022] Phin Esrinap says, 'I can't believe that lazy [Konem] has been gone for over two days. That's the last time I send that guy out for me.'

    (the guide asks how you know to ask him about konem)

    Also was able to get the quest at apprehensive, but not at KoS (scowls), so the minimum faction known is apprehensive so far.

    These type quests are 18 years old, on non-legacy servers, I think they should increase the faction they give to encourage going back to the content and MFFGA (Make Faction Farming Great Again).

    You only need to say Konem to him to start the quest.

    How you know about Konem ? When you speak with the Monk next to him

    [Sun Feb 28 15:23:03 2016] You say, 'problem'
    [Sun Feb 28 15:23:03 2016] Seta Bakindo says 'There have been numerous muggings lately in Qeynos by corrupt guards. These guards are sworn to protect, serve, and uphold law in the city, but all they do is break the law ten fold themselves. These corrupt individuals must be stopped. I have a [Silent Fist clan member] that I feel may be in trouble.'
    [Sun Feb 28 15:23:10 2016] You say, 'Silent Fist clan member'
    [Sun Feb 28 15:23:10 2016] Seta Bakindo says 'Konem Matse is my friend and mentor, he resides in Qeynos Hills providing security for the Sayers there. Lately though I have heard reports of guards demanding he pay them tax or else. This tax they speak of does not exist. I need you to go to the hills and help Konem. Rid the lands of these corrupt guards and bring me their heads as proof. I will also need 1 High Quality Gnoll Fur for a tailoring project I have been working on. Return to me with these items and you will be rewarded for your troubles.'

    This is the text when you ask Phin "Where is Konem"

    Phine Esrinao says 'Ah yes, Konem. I had him run an errand out to Surefall Glade over two days ago, and he still hasn't returned. Knowing Konem, he probably found a nice shady tree to take a nap under. If you happen to pass by him, could you please take him this note? Thanks, _____, and be safe.'

    Giving the note gives:

    Silent Fist Clan + 5
    Guards of Qeynos +1
    Ashen Order +1

    Returning the note to Phin gives:

    Silent Fist clan +5
    Guards of Qeynos +1
    Ashen Order +1

    I need to do a quest that will raise my Qeynos Monk faction. I was doing the Tokm quest where you find the poor monk guy in the newbie gardens and you take him back to the guild...well a little frisky gnoll pup came up and hit me and i click on Tokem on accident and killed him in one hit. Now i cannot get any quests from them, i am only level 4 and i could use soem good exp quests =)
    RE: oh boy...
    # Jun 11 2002 at 11:24 AM Rating: Good
    At level 4 it would be easier to just "reroll" your monk. (ie - start over at lvl 1) That way you faction is fixed. Have a friend hold all your current inventory items and just give them to your new monk.
    #Anonymous, Posted: Jan 10 2002 at 7:54 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The story about Konem Matse, being lost and following you the the monk guild is one of the funniest things I have ever heard since playing the game. So after he told ya he was lost, did he zone into north qeynos with ya also..LOL
    Note
    # Jul 29 2001 at 4:30 PM Rating: Decent
    The guy who is lost, outside Qeynos North, is another quest. I belive his name is Tomar. Konem wanders the Qeynos hills and if you hail him, he says something along the lines of " a pleasent day for a stroll through the hills ".

    I actaully hailed this guy before I new about the quest. He told me he was lost and couldn't find his guild. I told him to follow me and took him back to the monk guild. Wish I had known then about the note quest when I had the 2 NPCs within 1 foot of each other.
    #REDACTED, Posted: Apr 19 2002 at 3:33 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) heh, the only thing that really gives this the lie: you led an NPC from QHills to NQuenos? Not even epic have interzone triggers. How can you presume a n00b quest would?

    actualy you had tomar instogle face to face with seta for the quest, the note quest is a note from phin ensrap to konem matse...
    takes 2minutes
    # Jan 21 2001 at 5:22 PM Rating: Decent
    good newbie quest, doesnt take any time really and gives you some exp. no real risk of dieing, since you give the note and run back through the gate, so nothing can really eat you for dinner.
    Ashen Order Faction

    Also adds faction with the Ashen Order...good for those Qeynos Monks who want to raise faction with Freeport Monks to do the sash quests...
