This is a sub-task assigned part way through the task "The Long Lost Puppet".

You say, 'Hail, Edwin Tilmoss'

Edwin Tilmoss ignores you for a moment as he gazes longingly at the clouds above. With a short sigh, his daydream is broken as his eyes meet yours with mild disappointment, 'Oh, it's you again. I hate to be rude, but I can't really talk right now.' The young elf returns his gaze to the clouds above as a smile spreads across his face.

You say, 'Tell me about the ticket'

Edwin Tilmoss sighs again as he retrieves a slip of paper from his pocket. Holding the ticket firmly between two fingers, the elf shakes it angrily in your face, 'This is my key to winning Celia's affections! Why would I give it to you? Unless you have a better idea of how I can impress her?'

You say, 'What about this gift'

Edwin Tilmoss's eyes light up at your suggestion. 'What a great idea! I know of the [perfect] present for Celia! Maybe I'll give her the gift over a nice dinner.' The lovesick elf flashes a giddy smile. 'I'll [need] a few other things to make the night special.'

You have been assigned the task 'A Ticket to the Show'.

You say, 'What do you need?'

Edwin Tilmoss begins to plan with haste, 'I can give her the gift during a romantic dinner, complete with one of Haela's famous [pies]. In order to set the mood, I'll need a Resplendent Rose, picked from the temple's gardens. It will make a wonderful centerpiece!'

You say, 'What pies?'

Edwin Tilmoss salivates at the thought of dessert. 'Haela bakes the most delicious pies! Well, she did, I should say. Good luck getting her to bake one now! She's too overcome with grief to do anything other than cry over her [missing son].

You say, 'Missing son?'

Edwin Tilmoss nods solemnly, 'Haela's son has been obsessed with dragons since he was a small boy, so it made sense when he wanted to volunteer with Foreman Sukar's excavation crew. Haela knew it was dangerous for him to go, but I don't think she was prepared to hear the news that he had disappeared.'



1. Pick a Resplendent Rose 0/1 (ALL)

Resplendent Rose is a ground spawn in Resplendent Temple. It can spawn under any of the "rose" bushes in the gardens area at the top of the temple. It's a very small, single rose hidden inside the bushes (green stem, red rose).

Known locations:
* 3030, 420
* 2890, -325, 439
* 3050, 345, 437 (northwest garden)
* 2755, -30, 437 (south-center garden)



2. Obtain one of Haela's Homemade Pies 0/1 (ALL)

In Misty Thicket, find Haela Higglebun in one of the Halfling houses near the ruined tower directly in front of the Rivervale zone-in.

You say, 'Hail, Haela Higglebun'

Haela Higglebun looks up from the ground and steadies her tearful gaze, 'You'll have to excuse me, _____. I'm in no shape to entertain company.'

You say, 'Can you bake me a pie?'

Haela Higglebun's sadness is momentarily replaced with anger, 'You expect me to set aside my grief and bake you a pie? That's some nerve you have, _____. My kitchen will remain closed until my son is found. I knew joining Sukar's crew was going to be trouble...'

Foreman Sukar is a quest NPC in the Breeding Grounds. His first task is to locate a missing expedition crew, which is found under the ice in the basement of the Breeding Grounds (all dead except one survivor).

At the end of that task, you see:

Foreman Sukar greets your arrival with somber gratitude. 'I cannot dwell on the dead, but instead must be grateful that you were able to save a life. I have sent the one you rescued back to Shard's Landing to rest and recuperate. Someone should notify his mother, Haela, of his rescue since he won't be back in the Thicket for some time. The tale of his icy entrapment is one you may be [interested] in hearing, however.'

If you have completed the Breeding Grounds partisan "A Chilling Rescue":

You say, 'Hail, Haela Higglebun'

Haela Higglebun drops her mixing bowl in shock, 'It's you!' she squeals, 'You saved my boy!' The overjoyed mother grabs ahold of you and begins to plant wet kisses all over your face. Between sobs of relief, Haela attempts to speak her thanks, 'I am forever in debt to you! If I had riches, they'd be yours, but there is nothing I have to give that could truly express my gratitude. How about a [pie]? I haven't baked one in ages, but they're famous all over Norrath!'

You say, 'I would love a pie!'

Haela Higglebun nods as she wipes the tears from her eyes, 'Let me see if I still have everything I need...' The halfling rummages around, poking her head in and out of cabinets before returning to an upright position, disappointment looming on her face. 'Hrm, it appears I'm missing a couple of essential [ingredients]. I'd be honored to bake for you if you brought me the things I need, but don't feel obligated. You've done enough for me already.'

You say, 'What ingredients do you need?'

Haela Higglebun smiles warmly as she jots down a list of ingredients, 'It'll be the best pie you've ever tasted, I promise!'

You have been assigned the task 'Haela's Homemade Pie'.

Complete the task "Haela's Homemade Pie" to update this step.



3. Recover Kromrif Locksmith Tools 0/1 (ALL)

To obtain this item, you must get the first mission for the new Kael Drakkel, "Traitors Among Us". In that mission, you will progress to the step "Use the weapon crafted by Wevek Redforge to weaken and destroy the barriers 0/3".

Wevek Redforge is found at location +250,+850,-130. If coming from Zeixshi-Kar's Awakening, pass through the first archway, keep going, pass through the second archway, and hang an immediate right (north). He is in a building in the northeastern part of this area.

Once at that step, you can kill him. Solo fight, the other giants in the room don't assist him. He drops the Kromrif Locksmith Tools.



4. Find a Ry'Gorr Doll 0/1 (ALL)

Ry`Gorr Doll drops off a Ry`Gorr messenger in the new Crystal Caverns (roams the tunnels by the zone-in). In order to engage the mob, you must currently have the task "Ry`Gorr Reconnaissance". A pre-requisite for requesting this task is "An Abundance of Orcs" (these are the first two partisan tasks for the Crystal Caverns).



5. Return to Edwin with the requested items 0/1 (Sunrise Hills)

Note: Make sure you are not grouped and not in a shared task before doing this turn-in. If you are and do not get the next task, you can drop the "A Ticket to the Show" task and re-request it. The new task will update with whatever items you already have.

Upon turn-in:

You say, 'Hail, Edwin Tilmoss'

Edwin Tilmoss nods with approval as he inspects your bags for the items he requested. 'It looks like you have everything needed to plan the perfect date. Celia's house is in the hills to the northeast. She keeps it locked up, of course, so you'll need to use the Locksmith Tools to gain entry. Once inside, place the rose, the doll, and the pie on her table. When you're done, I'll reward you with my ticket to the puppet show.

You have been assigned the task 'Setting the Mood'.



6. Make your way to Celia's House in the northeastern section of the neighborhood 0/1 (Sunrise Hills)

This step updates once you reach her front door. It's a lone house with a few rocks around it. To enter, stand at the door and right-click the Kromrif Locksmith Tools.

7. Enter Celia's House and help Edwin set up for his surprise date 0/1 (House Interior)

Inside the "House Interior" instance, complete the sub-task "Setting the Mood".

You have finished setting up the perfect date for Edwin and Celia.

8. Let Edwin know you've done as he asked 0/1 (Sunrise Hills)

Return to Edwin:

You say, 'Hail, Edwin Tilmoss'

Edwin Tilmoss speaks quickly, eager to know every detail of your recent trip to Ceila's house. 'You placed everything neatly on the table, right? You didn't forget the rose, did you?' Edwin bites his nails nervously. 'I hope she's impressed by my grand gesture.' The anxious elf pulls a ticket to the puppet show from his pocket and places it in your hands. 'I guess I won't be needing this. Thank you for your help, _____. Now if you'll please excuse me, I need some time to prepare for my big date.'

To thank you for helping him set up the perfect surprise date, Edwin has given you the last ticket to the Freeport Puppet Show.

You do indeed need to have the partisan task, "Ry'Gorr Reconnaissance" assigned in order to engage the messenger in Crystal Caverns for the doll. Otherwise he will be unaggroable. You must get the task, say 'peace' to the messenger to make him KoS, and then you can kill him for the doll.

For this reason, since "Ry'Gorr Reconnaissance" is the second partisan task in Crystal Caverns, the first partisan task ("An Abundance of Orcs" : https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=6044 ) is required to have been completed before you can do "A Ticket to the Show". As you cannot request "Ry'Gorr Reconnaissance" without it having been completed.

"Ry'Gorr Reconnaissance" itself does not have to be completed to do "A Ticket to the Show" however, it simply must be assigned to you.

I was going by the quest window and did my hail after collecting the rose, pie, tools, and doll.
Of course,let's not forget after i had to repeat all the quest i did in Dec.and i was grouped with a friend.
Now neither of us can continue with the quest.gee whiz
Now my question is How does one fix this?
Drop the quest ? Will the items auto update?
Because 1 thing is for sure i will not be repeating it

ps before any says but it plainly says not to be grouped in the write up here, the quest journal, current task window seemed to be pretty straight forward, it didn't occur to me the that being grouped with someone you need to complete the other parts of the quest sure present such a problem

The items for A Ticket to the Show are prelootable. You could drop A Ticket to the Show and re-get it.

Or, as someone else mentioned, without dropping the task, you can take the portal to Terminus section, walk up to Celia's house and you'll get a message about a task update, then return to Edwin and hail him and he'll try to give you the 1-person shared task again.
