    This quest is available at Indifferent faction (maybe lower?). Tomer Instogle is a Monk hurt near the western walls outside of Qeynos city.

    First, some background: Asking "Who is Tomer?" to anyone in the Silent Fist will give you the same answer:

    _____ says, 'Tomer? I think Seta needs someone to go find him. Go ask her.'

    So, if you ask Seta about Tomer:

    Seta says, 'Oh, Tomer? We haven't heard from him in days! I'm really starting to worry... we need to have someone to go [find him].'

    You say, 'Find him?'

    Seta says, 'One of our clan brothers has not reported back in over three days. He was sent to help defend the Qeynos Gates and we haven't heard from him since. We need you to find him, if he is still alive. Tell him that Seta has sent you to find him, and escort him back to our guild. Good luck.'

    Find him near the western walls outside of Qeynos:

    You say, 'Hail, Tomer Instogle'

    Tomer Instogle says 'Ahhhggggh.. Those mangy [dogs] put up a tough fight.. If I don't make it back to the Clan House soon, it'll be all over for me.'

    You say, 'What dogs?'

    Tomer Instogle says 'It's those Darkpaws.. They've beaten me pretty badly.. but they'll get theirs soon enough!'

    You say, 'Seta sent me to find you'

    Tomer Instogle says 'Oh.. Thank goodness you found me.. I'm lost and weak, those [mutts] are a vicious lot.. Can you carry my [backpack] for me?'

    You say, 'What mutts?'

    Tomer Instogle says 'It's those Darkpaws.. They've beaten me pretty badly.. but they'll get theirs soon enough!'

    You say, 'I will carry your backpack'

    Tomer Instogle says 'Thank you, friend.. Now, can you lead me back to master Seta of the [Silent Fist Clan]?'

    Receive a backpack to carry with you.

    You say, 'Silent Fist Clan?'

    Tomer Instogle says 'I am a new member of the Silent Fist Clan.. I need someone from my guild to help me find my way back.'

    You say, 'I will take you to the guild'

    Tomer Instogle says 'Lead the way, and I shall follow. When we make it back, please inform Seta that you have rescued me.'

    Once back in the monk guild, tell Seta you've found Tomer.

    You say, 'I have found Tomer'

    Seta Bakindo says 'Great work, _____! We thought that was the last we'd seen of young Tomer.'

    Tomer Instogle says 'I am now accepting quests.'

    Note: The reason Tomer says this is because after you return him to the guild, players can now turn in the backpack he gives earlier. In EverQuest's older days, if the backpack was turned in before this point in the quest, he would just "eat it" without returning it.

    Tomer Instogle says 'Yes, he saved my life.. I owe him much thanks. Please return my pack to me now, good friend.'

    Give Tomer the backpack.

    Tomer Instogle says 'Oh, you have the makings of a true hero.. The Silent Fist Clan is proud to have you as an ally. May your soul guide and protect you through these chaotic times.'

    Your faction standing with Silent Fist Clan has been adjusted by 35.

    Asking who Tomer is to anyone in the Silent Fist will give you the same answer: "Tomer? I think Seta needs someone to go find him. Go ask her."

    So go ask Seta about Tomer.

    Seta says, 'Oh, Tomer? We haven't heard from him in days! I'm really starting to worry... we need to have someone to go [find him].'

    You say, 'find him'

    Seta says, 'One of our clan brothers has not reported back in over three days. He was sent to help defend the Qeynos Gates and we haven't heard from him since. We need you to find him, if he is still alive. Tell him that Seta has sent you to find him, and escort him back to our guild. Good luck.'

    The reason Tomer says "I am now accepting quests" after you return him to the guild is a sign to players that they can now turn in the backpack he gives earlier, because in the old days of EQ he'd just eat the backpack at any point before saying the phrase.

    Tomer Instogle regards you indifferently -- You could probably win this fight.

    You say, 'Hail, Tomer Instogle'
    Tomer Instogle says 'Ahhhggggh.. Those mangy [dogs] put up a tough fight.. If I don't make it back to the Clan House soon, it'll be all over for me.'
    You say, 'what dogs?'
    Tomer Instogle says 'It's those Darkpaws.. They've beaten me pretty badly.. but they'll get theirs soon enough!'
    You say, 'seta sent me to find you'
    Tomer Instogle says 'Oh.. Thank goodness you found me.. I'm lost and weak, those [mutts] are a vicious lot.. Can you carry my [backpack] for me?'
    You say, 'what mutts'
    Tomer Instogle says 'It's those Darkpaws.. They've beaten me pretty badly.. but they'll get theirs soon enough!'
    You say, 'i will carry your backpack'
    Tomer Instogle says 'Thank you, friend.. Now, can you lead me back to master Seta of the [Silent Fist Clan]?'
    You say, 'what silent fist clan'
    Tomer Instogle says 'I am a new member of the Silent Fist Clan.. I need someone from my guild to help me find my way back.'

    You say, 'i will take you to the guild'
    Tomer Instogle says 'Lead the way, and I shall follow. When we make it back, please inform Seta that you have rescued me.'

    You say, 'i have found tomer'
    Seta Bakindo says 'Great work, Kinil! We thought that was the last we'd seen of young Tomer.'
    Tomer Instogle says 'I am now accepting quests.'
    Tomer Instogle says 'Yes, he saved my life.. I owe him much thanks. Please return my pack to me now, good friend.'
    Tomer Instogle says 'Oh, you have the makings of a true hero.. The Silent Fist Clan is proud to have you as an ally. May your soul guide and protect you through these chaotic times.'

    Your faction standing with Silent Fist Clan got better.
    Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got better.
    Your faction standing with Ashen Order got better.
    You gain experience!!

    After "I found Tomer" and before i gave him the backpack I heard him say "I am now accepting quests" is there maybe a continuation of this quest or is it a bug of something meant to be heard by Devs?

    tomer will follow you at indiff faction, maybe apprehensive, not tested that, but deffinutly not dubious or below. However speaking to seta to tell her 'I found tomer' you need better than indifferent faction. This is what I have discovered using a rogue with dubious faction and the 'sneak' skill.

    Also, for anyone being sneaky, you can't get him to follow you across zone lines :( (was gonna get him buffed up and twink him up in mag gear, teehee)

    OK I figured it out. You do NOT say 'I rescued Tomer', you say 'I have found Tomer'. Unfortunately, I got no reward other than faction boosts with both human monk guilds and Qeynos guards, so this is a faction only quest, it seems, probably best suited for iksar monks once they are no longer kos in Qeynos and can make it to monk guild without getting whacked.

    Is it a bug or what? I was doing the quest but didn't complete it. I had Tomer following me around and I could attack something and he would help, but I would still get xp. Think this would be a good way to lvl up if he works like a pet.

    If you've already completed all the sash quests save the red one, is there any benefit besides faction to doing the headband quests? I am a Quellious FP hoomie monk and am "warmly" regarded by Ashen Order... are there any extra quests that come out of being butt-buddies with them or Silent Fist? Just curious.

    with a quellious monk it is easy to raise the faction needed to do the fp sash quest go to wc and talk to the guards at the toll booth they will put you through a long script then tell you to bring 4 orc scalps i believe and you get faction for guards and ashen order just keep doing this and you are in

    if you are in iksar monk listen up!
    collect al the items for your sashes/headbands, and just put them on mules and have them do the quest and give u back the complted item!! NONE of the items are no drop, neither the sash or headband is... makes it easier. also u can kill a monk trainer in freeport for the red sash and a monk trainer in queynos hills for the yellow headband.. its a piece of cake now.

    I did the whole thing, took him back, and got no exp when I handed the backpack in. Does this require you to worship Quellious? I am agnostic, but given that I'm only level 2, re-rolling won't make a big dent in my character.

    Feel the urge to knock off that lousy Priest of Discord? need revenge on some poor NPC in north qeynos? NO PROBLEM, your problem is solved here, written in full.

    First create a new character (you will die) make sure his starting location is Qeynos, walk out of the North Qeynos gate to the left until you find Tomer Instogle, a level 2 monk NPC make sure you have him targeted and say 'I will take you to the clan house' he will thank you and tell you to lead the way, when you walk around he should follow, he is now sort of in your 'group' AKA if you attack something, so will he, good leveling partner for low levels, if he solos something, you still get exp. also good for killing UBER NPC'S. Walk into town and find Phin Esrinap, trainer for the monk guild. he wonders around so make sure you time this next part right. Phin Esrinap has 3 main spots where he stays still for awhile, one happens to be right beside the Priest of Discord. Run up to the Priest of Discord, make sure Phin and Tomer are near you. Now auto attack the Priest of Discord, Tomer will also attack because he is 'grouped' with you. You will be knocked out flat in one blow and die, while you were dead, Tomer tried to hit the PoD and shouted out his battle cry, Phin, also being a monk, but a much higher one that punches for 350 and kicks for 500 damage, will hear his fellow monk NPC being attacked and join the fight, when you finish loading back from your death, go to the PoD and there will be a large crowd of people watching Phin beat the stuffing out of the PoD. I've done this about 10 times and Phin always wins, sometimes the Lieutenant even walks by and heals Phin, egar to watch that dirty PoD go down. This ALSO works with any NON-MONK guild NPC that is near Phin Esrinap, Enjoy. -D.B

    # Feb 21 2003 at 12:48 AM Rating: Decent
    I've done this tons of times. It's INSANELY funny and cool. The best time I had with this is was when I got annoyed beyond belief by Lieutenant Dagarok killing my main due to corrupt guard factions. I did the trick and after about 5 tries, Phin was beating the jeebus out of Dagarok. As soon as he started fleeing, he headed to the gate. On his way, Lieutenant Arathur decided to help his guard friend (Should be enemy, guards help each other even if the factions are different.) and attacked Phin. Then the two guards at the gate also attacked Phin. 3 guards, hitting for 150-200 on one monk, who beat the crud out of all of them. In fact, after he killed the two gate guards and concentrated on Arathur, it took so long the gate guards repopped and joined the fray AGAIN, Arathur died, one gate guard died, and finally Phin finished the fight by killing the second gate guard again. The entire fight, Arathur was healing and casting high paladin spells.

    Through that entire massive fight, Phin never lost more than a half bubble of health. That's how much butt he kicks. All for Tomer Instogle, the guy who joins you and gets killed by snakes.

    It's hilarious.

    Just a warning, they seemed to have fixed/nerfed this. I was in the area, so I decided to mess around a bit. I had Tomer following me, and lured a rodent into the monk house. I got Tomer fighting it right in front of Phin. Tomer actually died to the little rat, and Phin never even blinked.
    Monk FP quest
    # Oct 30 2001 at 4:33 AM Rating: Default
    This is to the ones tlaking about the FP Sash quests... I am a Qeynos AGNOSTIC Monk, I traveled to FP early I think lev 4, and started the Sash quests at about lev 10, I have killed the Orcs found in FP newbie area as well as in both EC and WC, has helped the faction, but after just about 1 hour in a group at the Orc camp in EC I was able to do all the quests just fine, no problems. I once ready (NOT CONFIRMED) that if you did not turn in your guild letter and get the training tunic you could not do the quest at all... like I said (NOT CONFIRMED) as I always turn in guild notes. I hope that you can get the glitch fixed with your faction, and if you are amible to the guild in FP and they still wont help, petition a GM to asssist you further, that has to be a bug.

    Tomer as a pet
    # Aug 07 2001 at 5:07 PM Rating: Default
    Couple of things:

    First, I said "I will take you back to the clan" and he followed me.

    Second, he didn't give me a pack, si couldn't return it to him. I went back out to see if I had dropped it somewhere and he followed me the whole way. I couldn't find it, so I went back to killing things and Tomer stuck with me the whole way, fighting monsters that attacked me. I lost him at the zone though.....hehe.

    Greet him with "Seta sent me to find you" and follow the prompts. He'll ask you to hold his backpack on the next prompt (and then gives it to you), and then ask you to lead him back on the last prompt.
    Breakdown
    # Aug 04 2001 at 11:29 AM Rating: Default
    Here's the breakdown, which I think is kind of dumb and funny at the same time.

    Monks from Qeynos can't automatically do Headbands in Freeport!!!! That requires work on some orcs for a time.


    Monks from Freeport, however, can do Headband quests with no work on faction...

    I knew this before I made my Monk, so I made him from freeport. Although since I'm Quellious I'm not in allowed some place. I've heard that Agnostic monks are BARELY tolerated in Oggok. And the Qeynos Monks can freely roam around in the aqueducts. I, however, got owned by a necromancer down there when I was level 20 (lost it, I might add), because I am of Quellious faction. Just your matter of preference, I guess.

    Try being an Iksar monk. I just got to dubious with the guards last night, but I'm still at glares with Dagarok. Haven't had a chance to check my faction with the monks yet, but all of this is after I tried the white headband while amiable in wolfform (Druid helped me out), and failed due to faction. Apparently all the factions are tied together. Raising the Guards' faction caused many others to increase as well. Hopefully now that I am dubious with the guards, my SilentFist has increased enough that maybe wolfform will help.

    Getting Tomer to stick with you is a TOTAL pain. He always gets lost and runs off somewhere. And then when you FINALLY have him at the guildhouse, he doesn't go inside unless you somehow can keep him on your ***. The right wording is Seta has sent me to find you.

    Make a hotkey for that ... and hit it all the time. THat is about the only way you will get him to stay close to you. He gets distracted easily, so if you really really REALLY wanna do this dumb quest, first shout in the zone that ppl should stay clear of the path from the entrance to the guild ... more than 3 ppl close together and Tomer will loose you ... again ...

    I did this quest once with my ranger... and after the trouble of getting him FINALLY back to the guild, I ran out and smacked his butt =0)

    So now the monks hate me (not KOS tho) and the feeling is mutual.

    By saving Tomer and improving faction with the Ashen Order and the Monks of the Whistling Fist, does that allow for members of the Whistling Fist to do the Ashen Order sash quests, since monks from Qeynos seem to be unable to do this quest. I have slain many Deathfist Orcs, my faction is amiable with the Ashen Order and yet I am unable to do the sash quests. If anyone knows anything about this could you post some information.

    Hmm..may require a petition to Verant. I'm of Freeport. amiable to the Qeynos guild and
    they have no problems giving me the headbands. But I have heard others complain that
    Qeynos monks can not do Freeport sash quests.

    I (22nd Iksar Monk) am now working on faction in Qeynos (got FP out of the way and time for headbands). For those of you who are trying to get your faction up with Ashen Order, once you are mild Dubiously (the range for Dubiously is exremely large) you can get a wolf form and be at a high enough amiable to quest for sashes. My Iksar monk (19 at the time) had made it to Glaring with the monks after 2 levels at orcs in Ecommons and went back to Cabilis until he was 19 killed 150'ish more orcs and got a wolf form 56 white sashes later (56 in wolf form) I was warmly as an Iksar. I then did a yellow sash and my faction rolled over to 'Regards you as an ally'. My current factions in Qeynos (in wolf form are) Dubiously with Guards, Apprehensive with Corrupt Guards (Various scalps in Highpass), Indifferent to monks (so close to being able to hoard Gnoll Pup Scalps and the improve Guard/Monk faction). *sigh* It will be worth it though... /emote drifts off thinking about RotWF, RotLC, and Celestial Fists....
