First travel to North Qeynos and go to Crow's Tavern, inside is an erudite named Umvera Dekash.
Here is your conversation with him:
You say, 'hail Umvera Dekash'
Umvera Dekash says 'What, "your name" ? Do I look like a merchant to you? Just because all these merchants are in my library, it doesn't mean that I am one. If you are interested in something other than spell scrolls, then, we can talk.
You say, 'I am interested in something other than spell scrolls'
Umvera Dekash says 'Ah, so you do have half a wit about you! Very well. As you can clearly see, I am the librarian here. I keep track of all of the mystic tomes that enter this divine building. I also take care of all of the purchasing. Have you something to offer?
You say, 'I have something to offer'
Umvera Dekash says 'Excellent! You have no idea how difficult it is to get good help these days. Do you think you would have the time to gather some information for me?
You say, 'I have the time to gather information for you'
Umvera Dekash says 'Even better! Well, it has been some time since the Tesch Val gnolls moved in on the Split Paw. That being said, we still know little to nothing of their origins. If you can bring me back the four scrolls that our diviners speak of, I believe I can reward you well.
Ok now you need to go to Split Paw in the South Karanas, Collect 4 different Tanned Split Paw Skin Scrolls. These are lore items, and look like a rolled up scroll. When you right click you can read the message written on them if you are fluent in gnoll. But even those unversed in gnoll can notice the number on the page. Collect scroll Volume 1, 2,3,and 4 and return them to Umvera in North Qeynos
Umvera Dekash says 'Did I not ask for FOUR scrolls? What are you? Some kind of idiot?
Umvera Dekash says 'Did I not ask for FOUR scrolls? What are you? Some kind of idiot?
Umvera Dekash says 'Did I not ask for FOUR scrolls? What are you? Some kind of idiot?
Umvera Dekash says 'It's about time. Let's see here. Right.. right.. right. Very good. Right. There you are! I translated the text. Now the scrolls need to be bound. Take these scrolls to Jheron Felkis in Freeport. I believe he is staying in one of the spare rooms in Velith and Bardo's establishment. He will ensure they are bound correctly. Return to me when the binding is complete.
You gain experience!!
Jheron Felkis is located in East Freeport in Velith and Bardo's establishment, 3rd Floor. Hand him the
note.
You say, 'hail Jheron Felkis'
Jheron Felkis says 'Ah, greetings, traveler! Settled into one of these rooms, have you? Well, this room is mine, so get out! Hey, wait! You aren't here to deliver a shipment of books to me, are you?
You say, 'What shipment of books?'
Jheron Felkis says 'Oh, I typically receive monthly shipments of books from Umvera Dekash. I hear he has recently been promoted to senior librarian in Erudin. What a vaulted position! I could only aspire. I'm not going to be binding books forever, you know!
Jheron Felkis says "So you are from Umvera! What is this? Oh my! Interesting! I'll bind them right away! A little snip here..a little snip there.. All done! That didn't take long, did it? I won't be doing this forever, you know.
After the milita burned down my father's home, he could not afford to send me through proper schooling. Ah well, such is life!
You gain experience!!
Ok at this point you are given a book called A Splitpaw Tome. You can open it up and read it, 8 pages of text, none of it seemed relevant to any type of monk quest so I wont bother posting the lore contained within, interesting history of the Torn Ear though. Now you get to run back to North Qeynos and deliver the book to Umvera.
Umvera Dekash says 'You have returned safely. That is wonderful! Where the heck is my book, child? In my hands, I see. Such a bright little twinkle you are! Well, let me scribble something down on this pad here. There you are. Take this note to Durkis Battlemore in the Butcherblock Mountains. He is a remarkable smith, but more importantly, he owes me for his smithing books.
You gain experience!!
Durkis Battlemore can be found inside one of the guard buildings at loc 2072, 400
You say, 'hail Durkis Battlemore'
Durkis Battlemore says 'What have ye got there, lad? Ack. I thought I would never hear from that crazy old man again. He wants me to give you a pair o' me gauntlets. I suppose I kin do that. Here you are, Southern. Wear them in good health.
You gain party experience!!
Your reward for this quest is a set of Gem Inlaid Gauntlets. AC 8, dex 3, sta 3, weight 1.0, All/All. And yes I did get the Gauntlets identified:

Ok, i got the gloves today... this guy was stuck at the top of a mountain. Not in the hut. thank goodness for tracking.... I was shocked when I finally saw him at location 1566.56, 1144.52, 94.81 half way up the side of the mountain with feet burried.... very weird. I thought my tracking was nuts... was using levitate or may never have seen him.... got the gloves though...
This would be a good quest for people on the new Progression servers. Especially druid. Back in the day the first time I ever managed to have 1k in the bank was after doing this quest 4 times with my level 21 druid. Being able to port made it easy. I could loot the scrolls from the gnolls from kills made by groups outside of Splitpaw. I could sell these things for 250p as quickly as I could get them to EC and auction them.
I used that first 1k and some other armor/weapons to trade for a FBSS for my level 12 warrior! I was pumped! (oh the memories)

Had a hell of time finding this guy since he moved in East Freeport from his room up in Velith's & Bardo. He's a building to the southeast of that place now upstairs.

...he moved. Next valley to the west, half way up the east face, near the stone circlt (approx 1850, 1050)
I searched the bazaar & all the merchants in SK looking for scroll #1 (aka. Helle Splitpaw-Haut). Then decided just to go hunt some gnolls for it! After about 30 mins. of hitting every TM gnoll in SK, I found it on the TMG with the whip (Gnoll Hide Lariat). So, if you're searching for #1, look for the gnoll with a whip and maybe he'll drop it for you, too!
With PoK, even non-druids can do this quest pretty darn quickly for a nice reward!

Just a little addition to this quest .. yes its a good quest either for money making or kitting out alts. What i have done to save time is once i had the 4 scrolls i handed em in to get the book.. on the way back to FP i stop off again at the spires and get 4 more scrolls... so now i have the unbound book and 4 scrolls... on to FP then back to qeynos to get note for durkis and yes.. hand in the next lot of scrolls... this way you can be continually carrying 2 parts of this quest at all times.. all my alts now have these except the one who does quest
The thanks for helping someone in need is more valuable than the Plat in your pocket.

I finially found Umvera Dekash in SOUTH Qeynos next to casters guild / library.
Also, use the external camera, get next to building close to Durkis then spin the camera so you can see the door from outside. open it and click on Durkis -- should be able to hand him the note even as a big race. Same trick works for venodors and bankers in places like Kelethin.

I just did the quest on Sunday. Nice gauntlets for free (unless you count any money spent on ports!!!!). Just alot of running since you need to go from qeynos - freeport - qeynos - butcherblock. Make friends with a porter and your golden.
Don't waste time looking for Tanned Splitpaw Skin number 1! I wasted time trying to find it and it turned out I had what I needed all along!!!!!
Volume one is in the Helle Splitpaw-Haut item. It looks just like the Tanned Splitpaw skin but says volume 1 when you open it.
Volumes 2 - 4 are Tanned Splitpaw Skins. Open them up to see what volume it is.
I bought the Helle at the Centaur merchant and looted the other 3.
I have seen skins/helle at both the Centaur merchant (Ulan Meadowgreen or something close) and Krak Windchaser (aviak village, back of top platform)

Just use PoK. It took me about 15 minutes sowed to do this quest after getting the hides. If you're fighting at the spires in SK, you'll no doubt get all 4 within a few hours time, and the gloves are pretty good for the level.

If you are a Druid that can port to BB WC and whatever port is closest to Qeynos. (Dont play in Qeynos) Then Just go to SK and nobody really loot the skins so just loot them off of the corpses. A druid can do this quest in 30min after they get the skins.

I did this quest as a Lvl 10 druid. Hehe, my 32 paladin got the scrolls, but as he is KoS in EFP, i just transfered the scrolls to my druid and he did the quest. Scrolls are kind of an uncommon drop in Paw ... dunno, i think it only took me a couple hours to round up all four in there.

I tried to get Umvera to give me the quest. I've gone as far into the initial conversation with him as when he asks if i have time to collect information for him. I've said every combination of words i can imagine to him to get him to continue. Can anyne tell me, or is this some sort of bug? Thanks
Anonymous
After many attempts to get him to continue, I tried 'Yes I have the time to help you gather information'. Not sure if you can get away with less than that but that was what worked for me and he finished telling me the rest of the details for the quest. Hope this helps.

Likewise. I said 'I am interested' then 'I have something to offer' but after that, no matter what i say, he's silent. Any ideas, please?
no need to talk to him unless you want to.
Just give him the 4 skins.

I believe that the minimum lvl for this quest should be changed to 24. My lv 24 Druid was soloing gnools outside of Paw through to lvl 28. Albeit i didn't start collecting the skins until lvl 29. I could have easily completed this quest at 24

Well making an Ikkie monk... was looking at twinkin gear. Wu armor, decent not great, Crescent... o wait it sucks AND is ND... hmm that leaves what under 150plat? (Gloves were not what I was focusing on with a 1hb/2hb weildin monk) Then I remembered seeing Geminlaids on some monk and I had a little weight to spare. I figured I'd spend a day getting the scrolls as a lvl 40 druid. I headed down there knowing I coulnd't solo real well in a dungeon and yelled out "For 2 scrolls lvl 40 druid buffs for YOU for 3 YOUR GROUP!!!" I instantly got 3 from one group and 1 from another person. I gave the guy with one buffs to be friendly but this quest took about 5 mintes. The time it took to run from NK ring to Paw... gonna have to do this some more for all my low lvl guildies now that I'm an officer. Wow what a great quest!

Technically ANYONE could do the quest. The skins can be given to ya. :) Or sold to ya, or even an alt of your own. You would be AMAZED how many people will give you the components for a quest just because they have better or dont want to do the leg work. Also its AMAZING how many of these (at least on my server) are left on the gnoll bodies, no one wants to pick em up. Besides even if everyone was doign this quest, they can only have 1 of each. So evntually they will zone to do the quest... That is to say if they have #1, and everyone else has #1, then its pretty much yours for the asking. :)

No doubt about this quest being easy. I entered the Infested Paw at lvl 30 i think, and about 30min later i had 4 different LORE skins. The most difficult part of the quest for me was too get someone to port me around. Took twice the time to get the port than it did getting the Skins hehe.
The Gauntlets are Ok, and the quest easy, so good luck.

I did this quest as a lvl 24 wizzy, got a group in SK hunting gnolls. Didn't take awefully long to get all 4 scrolls, they drop fairly often, its just a matter of collecting all 4. I also got good exp and loot hunting there. Then it was just a matter of Porting to finish the quest.

If you are of larger race (Barb or VahShir) you will not be able to fit into the building for the final step and you also won't be close enough to the NPC to hand in your letter.
Here's what you do. Durkis will come out of the building if you pull a roaming beastie to the back of the building. Once he's killed it he'll go for a slow walk at which time you will be able to "give" him the letter.
Safe Journey!

Stand next to the side of the building. Press the F9 key four times to switch to rear camera view. Rotate the view until you see the door. Click the door to open it. You should be able to see Durkis Battlemore. Give him the Note.
The idea is to position yourself close enough to the NPC to interact, and be able to open the door and view the NPC when you switch the camera view. I also use this in Misty Thicket to deal with halfling merchants.

I think "someone" didn't like this loophole and has sped up Durkis' return trip. I've tried to give him the note several times using this technique and he's zoomed back to his spot in the building, safely away from me and my note. The Give window also closes very quickly with the comment that I cancelled the action.
I'm hoping someone else has another idea or a twist on this one. The gauntlets look nice, but my big kitty is getting frustrated.

I am a 24 Erudite Necro and the problem I am having is improving faction from "threatening" to "indifferent" with the guards and Durkis so I can turn in my letter. I have killed literally 100 or more orcs in Crushbone and my Stormguard faction increases every time, but I am still "threatening". Does anyone know what your faction has to be in order to turn in the letter and get the gauntlets? The quest to this point was easy and I did it all with ports through Luclin or running with SOW.

another possibility is Wolfform. i am not sure how it changes faction with the dorfs, but i used it to turn in belts in Freeport and now my Iksar monk is Amiable with the Knights of truth. - you could either turn in the thing while in wolf form or get wolf form in the dorf city with backpacks full of one of the items you can turn in for faction
36 posts
Because of the fact that you're a "heretic" you're going to have to kill literally hundreds upon hundreds of orcs to raise faction high enough with stormguard. I suggest either created a dorf simply to do this quest and have someone transfer the items, or even put them in a bag and do a drop transfer. You could also kill the BB bandits, I'm pretty sure they will build faction with stormguard as well. Either way if you're going to do the killing for faction you've still got a long way to go.

Only has to be dubious or higher... as a necro you're going to have a harder time raising Storm Guard than others would. Another place you can raise Storm Guard is in Runnyeye; killing goblins there also raises it.
You can also try having a druid give you shared wolf form; that might raise it enough to turn in the note. I know that wolf form my my iksar monk non-KOS in Kelethin, so it's a possibility.

This quest was very easy. GOt a good group in middle spire got the skins in about 15 minutes (everyone else already had all 4 of them so i could loot all of 'em). Ran to quenos, then to freeport, then back to quenos, then got a port to BB. Easy as pie and very nice item for such an easy quest.

The gnolls are in South Karana at the spires near the center of the zone, approx -3000, +700.

I thought this was a pretty easy quest at level 25 or so (cleric), Can't remember exactly when I did it) the tough part was getting around. I was lucky enough to have a bored porting guild member online at the time, so it actually only took me about 15 minutes once I got to Qeynos. (we both bound ourselves in NQ instead of porting back to NK) sold em for 100P to a guild member, so I figure I can sell the next pair for around 150-200. I already have the 4 scrolls again so it's just a matter of when I feel like wandering back to Qeynos. (I get lazy sometimes and don't like making the long run he eh)
Anonymous
I'm a level 25 Monk, and I just finished this quest. I got the scrolls from experience killing at the spires in SK. The odd thing I have noticed, though, is that my AC went up by 13, not 8. If they had an AGI bonus I could understand that, but they don't. Can anyone explain this?
Not too difficult a quest to do, for sure. I don't know why they'd sell for 250pp when it's such an easy quest to do. Perhaps I'll get a second pair when I'm back in SK working on my Red Headband.

The AC listed on the gauntlets is known as "raw AC". The way the system calculates your character's AC is by taking the raw AC of the item in question and adjusting it based on your class, race (if you are an Iksar, for example), level and so on. Some of the class-specific formulas are actually quite complicated.

This is easy for a lvl 24+ wiz to do. All you have to do is wait in SK (i pasted the time killing birds) and keep shouting that your looking for scolls. In about 2 hours i had all 4 and was on my way to Qeynos (just TP to WK and run west and that will put you right in the hills). When I got there i bound myself at the gates, and droped off my skins to Umvera. Then TPed over to NRo and ran into Freeport. It took me awhile to find Jheron there but once i gave him the book, i gated back to Qeynos (if you bind in Qeynos you won't have to run all the way back through WK). I gave Umvera back the book, got the note, and then it was off to GFay. To find Durkis Battlemore, just run into butcher and follow the path to the right when it splits, continue past Kaladim. Once you pass Kaldim, he will be in the back of the 1st guard tower. Give him the note and you will be handed your very own pair of gem inlaid gauntlet (8ac. +3dex. +3sta). This is a pritty simple quest and only takes about 3-4 hours to do. Another plus is that these sell for about 250pp, so you can just run to GFaymart to sell them. Oh well, thats my story. Peace out

it's very easy for druids with the new surefall glade port... very nice just a short walk to quenos a port to wc back to quenos then on to BB very easy quest for the reward(I think when they made this quest they expected you to run the whole way heh) nice quest sold a pair for 200pp and another I gave to twink my ranger hardest part for me was getting the 4th scroll BOTH times I had scrolls 1-3 within the first 6kills, i had to auction for the 4th after about 30 kills no 4th
well good luck

OK, being a large race melee class that has completed this quest repeatedly, I can tell y'all that ya need no shrink or wolf form to do it. First stick the note on your cursor then tease a bat and trot on over to the back of Durkis' hut. Keep a little distance so he doesn't kill the bat through the wall, and then run like heck behind him and trade. Pathing will screw you over if you're not reasonably quick, but it beats annoying the zone with shouts of "Shrink or Wolf Form plz" that's for dang sure. :P

Oops! Just realized that this exact tactic is buried on the first page of the quest discussion. Apologies. (But hey, I was far from the only one that didn't see it.)

i have gotton the quest done 3 times in a matter of 2 and a half hours. my second and 3rd time i just did a OOC and bought the scrolls for 40pp for all 4. so all in all i made a VERY easy 920pp :) but be warned, the quest is easy if ya can gate or port, otherwise leg power is the key, oh yeah..... and lots of time. so if so many people can do this quest that fast then how can this be a RARE item......i guess it can only happen on EQ. welcome to the world of EQ..lol

Make sure you give Umvera Dekash all four scrolls AT THE SAME TIME... I was being cautious making sure my faction was high enough, and he yelled at me for being an idiot, and I now get to go regain Volume 4 of the scrolls... You've been warned!

I spent 3 or 4 hours today killing every gnoll between zone in and ishva. I got plenty of 2, 3 and 4. Never got a 1.
Does it only drop outside? Couldn't try killing outdoor gnolls because all the level 20s would have been miffed.
Does it only drop outside? Couldn't try killing outdoor gnolls because all the level 20s would have been miffed.
For some reason, most people get 3 out of the 4 really quickly, and then take forever getting the fourth one. Don't know if it's coincidence or the game's actually designed that way. Reminds me of when I was camping the fingered skeleton in Kurn's for the Shackle of Rock, got three different fingers in just three spawns, but waited literally days to get the 4inch finger.
Anyway, I got volumes 1,3, and 4 pretty quickly inside, took about two hours before volume 2 finally dropped inside; until then, every scroll that dropped was one I already had! But any Tesch Mas Gnoll can drop any volume, either in South Karana or Splitpaw. They're easier to hunt in SK, but are usually already camped. So take your pick, either inside or outside, you can get all four. It just takes some patience getting the last one.

Get the scrolls and do parts one and two. Go back get the scrolls, do parts one. Go back get the scrolls. Now you have potentially three sets to quest and sell. Make mega-bucks in a couple hours.

I went to the guy in EFP and am trying to figure out how to get him to bind the book. What do I say to him to get it bound? Or do I just give him the book that I got from Qeynos?

Just hail him, to make sure you have attention, and give him the unbound book. He'll bind the book for you and give it back. Now you can take the bound book back to Umvera, he'll give you a note to give to Durkin Battlemore in Butcherblock for your gloves. Durkin's not on a faction technically, but will regard you the same way Storm Guard regards you, so if you're not KOS to the dwarf guards in Butcherblock, you won't be KOS to him. If you are, just kill a lot of goblins in Runnyeye, worked for me.

The note to Battlemore is No Drop. He is in a building with small doors, so if ye are playin a large race (Barbarian, Ogre, or Troll) ye wont be able to get in and give him the note, and will have wasted yer time and effort. The note to Battlemore is the only part of the quest that is No Drop.

If you are a barbarian (or other tall race), and you don't want to waste an Ant potion, here is my trick: Slap a bat or other mob (once with the weakest weapon or spell you have). Slowly walk towards the back of the building that Durkis is inside. Durkis won't be able to hold back his anger at the bat (or other critter trying to slap you back) and leap out through the side of the building. At that point, quickly hand the note to Durkis as he walks back to his hut. Practice a few times to get the timing just right.
Hmm. Vision, I ought to try that too next time. I don't think that I ever used that spell.

When I first talked to the Erudite, his didn't reply with any phrase in [braces]. But I replied with what I thought he was interested in, and it worked! (He actually complimented me on my intelligence!).
However I've since read you can just give him the scrolls, which I will do in future, cos I just don't like talking to him. Typical Erudite, snooty as hell!

Well I did this quest. Took me a hile to find this after destroying a lot of scrolls mistakingly. By the time I learned the error of my ways, I still couldn't find scoll 2. My packrat friend had it and gave it to me. Then I commenced to hoofing it all throughout the contenent. Took me about 5 hours to hoof it across 3 times with the occasional sow here and there. I like the gloves but I am wanting to trade them in for crafted. What is the going price? On the server someone told me 100-150 and I read on a post it was 350 can someone give me a concise answer please
EVERY price varies on EVERY server. go to your local hot spot for trades and selling. Like tunnel, or market bazzare... or what not and just give a shout for a PRICE CHECK. most people are happy to give you a correct estimate on your server. Besides, think this way. Yours may be more OR less valuable. but to someone else, even if your item is worth less, it might be worth MORE to them... the right person. :)

This quest is pretty nice. It enabled you to get a nice item that is worth about 250p.
I did this quest when I was level 24. I got two of the scrolls from killing Gnolls in Spires of South Karana and the other two I bought from other players for 5p each. I obtained all four pretty quickly, since almost every Gnoll there carries a scroll. After obtaining the scrolls I just teleported to North Karana, ran to Qeynos, gave them to the librarian, bound myself near him, teleported to West Commons, ran to Freeport, gave the batch of scrolls at East Freeport, Gated back to the Librarian, obtained the letter, teleported to BB and gave the letter to the Dwarf guard. Pretty easy, only takes a while, even if you're a wizard or druid that can teleport. The gloves are nice to be sold, I assume monks will want them too, since it will allow them to hit magical creatures while having nice AC and Sta buff to increase their hp a bit.

This quest is great, for various reasons: First u can do it since your low 20´s grouping at the spires in SK, Second: Spires are normally camped but getting in a group isn´t real hard since the exp is raised for groups, especially full ones, Third: Most of the people hunting at the spires is looking for exp and fine steel weapons or split paw armor for loot, they dont care about the tanned skin rolls, Fourth: if u can port (I´m a druid) u can do the trips between SK, NQ, Freeport and BB real quick; and the Main Reason: The gauntlets will give u more plats u ever have seen togheter before at that lvl, they can de sold for 350 pp or more, or traded for very expensive items. I have done the quest twice, in the first one i trade the gauntlets and some pieces of Split paw armor for 2 Platinum Japer rings (+6 wis each, extraordinary for a druid) and in the second one for a Bracer of Scanvenging with i sold after for 375 pp (can be sold for more, average price is 460 pp) only 10 minutes after i got it. Before that i have only sold armor pieces for max 20 pp and getting money was hard, now i have secured the money for all my new 29 spells and can buy some nice +wis items too, and I´m only 27.

I got all 4 of the scrolls in like 15 minutes (im lvl 30 Erudite Wiz. Then I just ported to tox and handed them in and ported around and did the whole quest- all in all took me like an hour, w/o ANY ports it may have taken around 5-7 im guessing as its alot of running to do...

Druids and Wizzies can make some major bank with this quest. With our ability to port where we want to we can do this quest with great ease. If you are hunting the gnolls at the spires in SK you can do this quest and get about 300pp every day almost. You could also just buy the skins off of people for about 20pp/skin (thats what I offer). So if you want some extra pp just do this quest and you can make a ton of money in a short time.

this quest can, and has, been farmed very easily. At lvl 25, myself (a monk), and my lvl 19 druid friend camped this quest one day and got 9 or 10 pair. While i killed the splitpaws, he ran the skins back and grabbed the book. He then ported himself around to the various places. We started churning in a pair about every 30 mins or so, but if you have no porter :( then this could very easily take 4 hours.
