At the end of the previous quest, Maesyn Trueshot mentioned a next incarnation of the bow.
You say, 'What is the next incarnation?' Maesyn Trueshot says 'The Trueshot Longbow was once enchanted by the Koada'Dal enchanters. Once it was enchanted now it is no more. I am sure if you were ask the Koada'Dal [where the enchanted bows] are you will get an answer.' Go to Felwithe. Kinool Goldsinger may be found in the Enchanter guild. You say, 'Where can I get an Enchanted Bow?' Kinool Goldsinger says 'Alas... Another ranger in search of the [Rain Caller]. She is no more.' You say, 'What is the Rain Caller?' Kinool Goldsinger says 'Rain Caller is the name we give each Trueshot longbow once it is enchanted. Unfortunately, I am unable to enchant them any longer. One of the components is no longer available. Someone would have to strike a [deal with the fairie folk]. Once I have that and the [remaining components] I can create the Rain Caller, a ranger's bow.' You say, 'What deal with the fairie folk?' Kinool Goldsinger says 'The fairie princess, Joleena, used to have a metal gnome deliver [fairie gold dust] to the Keepers every month. She has stopped this and now refuses to offer it to any nation of Faydwer. What she is angry about, we do not know.' You say, 'What fairie gold dust?' Kinool Goldsinger says 'Fairie gold dust is an enchanted powder which only a fairie princess can create.' You say, 'What remaining components?' Kinool Goldsinger says 'The remaining components are the Trueshot longbow and a treant heart. There will also be the guild donation in the amount of 3000 gold coins. These and the [fairie gold dust] will merit a ranger the Rain Caller enchanted bow.' Princess Joleena may be found in the Lesser Faydark. You say, 'Hail, Princess Joleena' Princess Joleena says 'I am the Fairie Princess, Joleena. You may stay amongst my people, but do not nibble from our homes.' You say, 'I want fairie gold dust.' Princess Joleena says 'You wish the magical Fairie Gold Dust? Hmmph!! I refuse to offer it to any of the giants of Faydwer. How can I trust any of you. You have crept up upon my me and snatched one of my wings from my back. There will be no Fairie Gold Dust until my wing has been returned to me. You may not be the stalker [who snatched my wing], but all you giants are similar. Prove me wrong and return my wing.' You say, 'Who snatched your wing?' Princess Joleena says 'I did not see the swift giant, I was blinded by the sun glaring off his balding head. I do remember the smell of rust and refuse. How he got past my Clockwork Guardian, Gearheart, is a mystery to us all.' The bald "giant" she's talking about is Sanfyrd Featherhead in Ak'Anon. You say, 'Hail, Sanfyrd Featherhead' Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'Greetings. I am the operator of this Scrapyard. If you have any Scrap Metal I would be glad to purchase it from you in loads of four. The Gemchoppers no longer allow me to accept Blackbox Fragments and Micro Servos.' You say, 'Do you know where Princess Joleena's wing is?' Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'No!! You cannot have my magic Fairie Wing!! I need it. I read somewhere within the great library that the magic wing from a fairie princess will restore my full head of hair. Look at me!! I am bald!! I have no [friends] at all.' You say, 'I am your friend.' Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'Oh. You are just saying that so you can get my fairie wing. I will make you a deal. I cannot rely on this wing forever. I will trade it with you if you could get me a case of hair tonic. If you are a true friend you [will fetch the hair tonic] for me.' You say, 'I will fetch the hair tonic.' Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'Great!! Here you go, my friend. Take this crate and within you shall fill each slot with hair tonic. When all are combined within the crate, return it to me for your wing. I am not sure what the tonic was or where I got it. There is some writing on the crate, but I could not identify it.' You receive a Crate for Tonics, a 10-slot SMALL container. You must now go to Freeport. Ping Fuzzlecutter is a gnome merchant located outside the west gate. Buy 10 of Fuzzlecutter Formula 5000 from him, enough to fill the crate, then hit combine to craft A Crate of Tonic. While you're in West Freeport, find Jyle Windshot and keep giving Small Lanterns to him until he gives you A Wooden Heart, which identifies as "A Treant Heart." You can also obtain them as rare drops from treants, but rangers shouldn't kill treants, so that isn't really an option. Once you have everything, head back to Sanfyrd Featherhead and give him the crate. Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'Huzzah!! You are my friend. Now you can take my old toupee and get it repaired. Just go to Freeport and ask Ping to [repair the toupee]. Hey!! You know what? He is the guy who sells the hair tonic!! I remember now. Well,.. Get my toupee repaired and I will give you the fairie wing.' You receive a Tattered Toupee, which identifies as "Sanfyrd's Used Toupee." Head back to West Freeport and Ping Fuzzlecutter. You say, 'Can you repair the toupee?' Ping Fuzzlecutter says 'Ah!! You have a toupee to repair. It must be the [Mane Attraction]. I gave one out and it seems to always fall to pieces. Seeing as it has a 100 season warranty and I only created it 5 seasons ago, I suppose I can do it. Do you want me to [make the Mane Attraction]?' You say, 'What is the Mane Attraction?' Ping Fuzzlecutter says 'The Mane Attraction is a special toupee I created for a Gnome junker. He wasn't getting much attention at the taverns till I created the eye-catching toupee. He became one charismatic Gnome after that. Unfortunately, it seems to fall to pieces too easily and since it has a warranty, I have to fix it for him every time at no charge!! I will never make another.' You say, 'I want you to make the Mane Attraction.' Ping Fuzzlecutter says 'If you have the original tattered toupee then I can do it. Before you give it to me I will also need three other items. I require two clumps of hair from a Hulking Gorilla and a strand of hair from a [certain mermaid].' You say, 'What certain mermaid?' Ping Fuzzlecutter says 'I encountered a particular mermaid with beautiful hair!! She had beautiful golden tresses. I used a lock of her hair to create the Mane Attraction. That was a while back when I was in Faydwer.' A Hulking Gorilla may be found in the Feerrott. Clumps of Gorilla Hair also drop occasionally from A Gorilla, A Large Gorilla, and A Silverflank Guardian, also found in the Feerrott. A Golden Haired Mermaid may be found in Kedge Keep. She drops A Lock of Hair. Give the tattered toupee, the two clumps of gorilla hair (unstacked), and the lock of hair to Ping Fuzzlecutter. Ping Fuzzlecutter says 'You are a good helper. Here you go. One genuine, charismatic, lady magnet, zero to hero making Mane Attraction!! Guaranteed to lower prices world wide. Guaranteed to last forever.. Err.. Well,.. It has a 1000 year warranty at least.' You receive the Mane Attraction. Head back to Sanfyrd Featherhead and give it to him. Sanfyrd Featherhead says 'Double Huzzah!! You are a good friend ______. Now mayhaps I shall find myself a wife. Here pal, the fairy wing. I hope it can give you a great head of hair. You need it.' You receive A Glimmering Fairie Wing, which identifies as "Princess Joleena's Wing." Head back to her and give her the wing. Princess Joleena says 'My wing!! I am so happy!! Thank you Milky. You have proved that I can trust giants once again. Please take a Pouch of Fairie Gold Dust. Its magical properties are desired by all.' Your faction standing with Fairie got better. You gain experience!! You receive a Pouch of Gold Dust, which identifies as "Fairie Gold Dust." Head back to Kinool Goldsinger and give him the Pouch of Gold Dust, A Wooden Heart, the Trueshot Longbow, and 3000 gp. Kinool Goldsinger says 'Fine work!! I now reward you with The Rain Caller.' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This wing is not used in the Rain caller quest
http://www.tribalfury.org
Is it possible to start the quest by talking to Ping Fuzzlecutter, "Can you repair the toupee?" or "What is the Mane Attraction?" ?
Or do I have to do all the pre-steps?

Just wondering why wood elf rangers have to turn in their first tunic to get the treant shards for the trueshot material anyway? I have tried to give Jyle a small lantern but he keeps saying he doesnt need it. We only get one tunic so it makes it difficult to get the treant heart from him without taking another poor unknowing rangers chance from him by buying or trading for his first tunic.

A friend of mine gave me a rain caller the other day, but it had no charges left. Is there any way to recharge it? Even without the charges, it's a great bow.

A few things to clear up some questions below:
* The faerie dust is not your ordinary fairie dust. It is specifically 'a pouch of faerie dust'.
* Princess Joleena isn't hard to spawn...whoever posted below about the faerie guard despawning every 30 minutes, then respawing either the princess or another guard in five minutes is exactly correct...just try to stay hidden while waiting so Equestrielle the Corrupted doesn't start smacking you down in the process.
* The two hulking gorillas are on in the Cazic-Thule zone, so save yourself some time. The are guarding the entrance to Cazic-Thule, on either side of its entrance on top of the temple steps in Feerrott. These have placeholders of other gorilla types, one kind of which, the Silverflank gorilla, also drops the same hair. Watch out for the Tae Ew justicars on both far ends of the same platform outside the temple entrance...they will heal the gorillas while you're fighting them.
* We took out the golden-haired mermaid in about 30 minutes after entering Kedge Keep. Our group consisted of 43 ranger (myself), 46 druid, and a 52 cleric. We cast 'see invis.' and 'camouflage' on all party members just inside the entrance, then went straight to the golden haired mermaid room. At first, there were two stiletto-toothed piranhas in the room, and just as I attacked the first, a mermaid (generic) popped and started healing the piranhas. I killed her first, then the fishies. We waited about 20 minutes, with no more spawns, so I started pulling out of the main entrance room and into the same mermaid room. After pulling a few singles, I somehow snagged two, then the just as I brought them in, the room popped two more of those piranhas and the golden haired mermaid. I killed her first, looted, then we killed the other fish, and the druid then evac'd us out. Try to pull all mobs to a corner and let a caster root one, go to another corner and do the same...keeps you from quickly becoming fishbait.
* You don't give "the wig" to Sanfyrd to get the glimmering fairy wing...you give him the Mane Attraction after you get it.
Hope this helps,

I just think having NPCs ask for gold instead of platinum is one of those stupid Verant quirks that only serves to annoy and confuse players. In virtually every single quest where you have to hand money to an NPC, the quest NPC asks for the amount in gold, even though there is generally no reason to be gold instead of plat.

The moral of the story...Get your faction up in Keepers of the Art first..if KOS, you must kill dark elf necro's...if not kos, so the bat wing quest in magicians guild in Felwithe first. If the jerk Kinool does not talk to you...DO NOT GIVE HIM ANYTHING...the guides/gm will not help get any of it back, and this quest is way too long to do again.
Rangers rule, and enchanter trainers suck.../guildwar Protectors of Erollisi!
Regarding this incident, having reach the level you have reached you have surely learned the importance of faction in completing many quests. Accordingly, giving the items to a KOS NPC was a gamble. I've taken that sort of gamble before (trying to make my Trueshot with fletching skill <100) and it stinks when you lose the bet but it has to be recognized as a gamble with a predictably uncertain outcome. (Oxymoron.)
With regard to the other problems you mentioned, I think one has to realize that the folks at Verant are not gods. LD problems are often (not always but very often) the result of connectivity problems on the player's end or routing problems somewhere in between your provider and Verant's servers. This is nothing they have any control over.
Patches are our friends. While patches may be inconvenient, they are undertaken with the intent of improving the game, fixing bugs, or correcting elements that unbalanced the game play.
Everquest is a massively complex game. Running servers of this size and complexity is an extremely challenging task and even the best engineers could not do so perfectly. There will always be some zones that are more laggy then others (also dependant on your hardware) and there will always be some bugs. I think it is impressive that Verant does as good a job as they do in maintaining the servers and keeping problems to a minimum.
Bottom line, they've created and maintain an incredibly fun, massively complex and challenging game that has kept all of us entertained for 100's of hours. You can't please all of the people all of the time and we should be thankful for what they've given us rather than holding a grudge on those occassions where something occurs that we don't like.
Rangers do in fact rule.

Bow is Awesome :P, too bad you have to give up your Trueshot :(
The bad news is we had t full groups of 40-50 to take the whole place..but a 35 ICK-sar (yea i spelled it that way on purpose) monk decided to "lead the way" without a map...next thing I know, Estrella summond me, blinded me and killed me (and 85% of our party before the other 15% could evac.) Don't let someone under 40 come in and give the whole area mega aggro...they think they are helping....they are helping u not have to look for spawns..the spawns will look for you!

The one con red is the correct one

lvl 18 ranger?
Here's the parts and here's how tough/not tough they are:
1) Trueshot. I have discussed this elsewhere on Allakhazam so I will not expand on it here; go to that page to look it up.
2) 3000gp, aka 300pp. Not a huge amount but remember you need GOLD not platinum.
3) Treant heart. See the Trueshot quest on how to get this too. Easy to get while you're running back and forth to Freeport.
4) Faerie dust, the other hard part because nobody likes to go to Kedge all that much (although I don't know why, I find it kind of fun to be in an underwater zone).
Start in Freeport and buy 10 of the Formula 5000 drinks and go straight to Ak'Anon. You can do this at ANY level so do this whenever you want. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN EMPTY SLOT at this point because you will get a container.
Way in the back of Ak'Anon - and I mean WAY in the back, by the necro guild - you'll find Sanfyrd Featherhead. Hail the lil guy, and say "Where is princess joleena's wing". He will tell you that you can't have it because he read that it will make his hair grow back. He also mentions that he has no [friends].
As stated above, patronize him by saying "I am your friend" at which point he excalims that you are "just saying that to get my feather, if you are really my friend you would help me get some hair tonic." He then tells you to get some tonic off Ping - slap those 10 tonics in there (remember, don't stack!), hit combine and hand him back the box. He gives you a wig and tells you to have it repaired.
The two next parts you need are the two clumps of hair off hulking gorillas in Cazic Thule. They spawn in the throne room, you can work them easily in a group in your low 30's or even sometimes in your high 20's. This is pretty easy to get, and the clumps seem to be a fairly common drop.
Lastly you need the hair off the golden haired mermaid. We did this with a pally, 2 rangers, a druid, a wizard and I think a cleric. All people will need to be 35+ although closer to 40 is advisable. Remember do NOT use AOE damage spells in Kedge because these cute little fish swim around but then they blow up for like 400aoe. Not nice. We cleared the entry room, and then invis'ed and swam directly to the mermaid's room. There is a hallway there that you can safely med and rebuff yourself at. She has I believe a pirahna in the room with her, maybe two. We pulled her, and while she did some smacking around, let me say, she went down FAST. She drops the hair every time as far as I know but her spawn seems random. Not sure if there is a trigger for her. After getting the hair we ported out, no point hanging around Kedge! (Personally I find Kedge fun but it IS a challenge and you really should not attempt the zone until you're into your 30's).
Now, go back to Ping in WFP and say "can you repair a toupee". He'll tell you he needs all the ingredients you just gathered, so give him the toupee you got from the guy in Ak'Anon, the two gorilla hairs, and the golden mermaid hair. He will give you back the fixed toupee which, you guessed it, you troop back to Ak'Anon to give to Sanfyrd. He gives you the glimmering fairy wing.
Now head to the western end of Lesser Faydark. Track Gearheart, who never moves and is her bodyguard. He is in the heart of the faerie village which is close to the pixie tower. The Princess's placeholder is "a fairy guard." She is on a 35 minute cycle - she or her PH will spawn for 30 minutes, then despawn for five minutes. Then one or the other will spawn again. Don't sit there and stare at the mushrooms if she's not up! I chased down outcast brownies for the arrows for the Ivy Etched leggings quest for a while, and killed pixies out of boredom. The I just camped my ranger there, set a timer, and went off to play one of my alts while the timer ran. Happily for me the Princess spawned after about 3 or 4 cycles, but I have heard people camping the area for hours on end, so trust me and just do something more productive than staring at the mushrooms. Camp your ranger there and CHECK BACK if she's not spawned. Her cycle is exact, 35 min from the time she spawns.
When you hail her she basically says something about please don't sit on the mushrooms or something. I always feel like I'm in Smurfville. Anyway, give her her wing, and she'll thank you and give you the bag of faerie gold dust. YOU CANNOT KILL FAERIES TO GET THIS, you MUST quest this properly, or the quest will not work and you wasted a lot of time and effort. VERY important.
Now that you have all this stuff, go see Kinool Goldsinger in the Enchanter's guild in Felwithe. (that's the 2nd Felwithe zone; when you go up the bridge and find the transports, the one on the right takes you to the chanter guild). He is the guild leader standing in the middle of the entry room on the diaz. Hail him and ask "Where can I get an Enchanted Trueshot Bow?"
He'll tell you a story about the Bow and how they used to be able to make them but they can't anymore because they can't get - tada - the ellusive fairy dust from Joleena. Aren't you lucky that you happen to have some? :) Give him your Trueshot, the treant heart, the dust, and your 3000gp, and ta-da, you are now the proud owner of the Raincaller.
It took me a good 12-15 levels to do this quest, mostly because it was difficult for me to find people willing to go to Kedge with me to get the mermaid hair. I'd like to thank my guild sisters for helping me out on that. :) If you can get people (38+, over 40 recommended due to some of the opening room mobs) to go to Kedge with you when the mermaid is up, and a druid to port you around, you could do this whole quest within a couple hours.
