Fur-Lined Coldain Prayer Shawl  

 

Seems Pet is the way to go, charmed a snow bunny with my druid to do it. However as you can imagine my pally is having a little more trouble. Any possible way I can do this withouta pet? Or should I simply swallow my good for nothing pally pride and get a Pet class to come help? Thanks for help in Advance.

Took the best of all suggestions on posts and got this shawl in about half an hour.

1. Get a pet (use your's, someone else's, or charm one; I charmed a walrus and used as pet).
2. Place the pet at the top of the ramp to Kael and have it guard.
3. Click on WALK and follow the direction the pet is pointing. (First time I did this I was running instead of walking. I spawned Tannik and ran slightly past him and spawned a Death Squad, they killed Tannik). Watch your screen for the message "the snow crumbles away revealing an injured coldain". Tanik will be laying on the ground.
4. Simply hand him the premade Vial of Velium Vapors. I did not hail him just gave him the vial.
5. Receive note and turn in to Boradinn in Thurgadin; receive 4th shawl

GOOD LUCK

After triggering the Death Squad about 20 times in a row, I realized that if I ran to the gates of Kael Drakkal and did not go in and zone, Tanik was the next spawn. I triggered the Death Squad all over the place at the end of the ramp but the most frequently triggered area was on the Northern side of the ramp.

My friend tried the same technique and it worked. So far, this has only been tested twice.

Got this shawl the other day, but did it in a most unusual way. Per a post I saw on this site, I charmed a snow bunny to point out the hidden NPC. Firt attempt, top of ramp, death squad ate my bunny while I ran lol. Second attempt halfway down the ramp bunny pointed me out of the ramp. Sprung a full death squad of four. Decided my 41 druid needed to run, but pulled a silly.

Instead of zoning to Kael, I ran past top of ramp toward GD zone entrance. About 100 or-so feet past the ramp I hit F9, changed my view to rear and bang. . . death squad triggered our injured coldain friend and kept after me.

Having heard how hard it is to find this guy, I pulled out my vial while swinging a wide turn and got enough space between me and giants to do a quick turn in. Coldain probably sat there about 90 seconds before my turn in and poofed immediately.

Kept running of course and now the shawl is mine. Looking forward to the next step, but for those who live dangerously, consider using the death squad itself to spring your coldain contact. After all, four sets of legs pounding the snow are better than one! :)

Helped out a guildmate the other day. She had been there for two hours and no luck. She saw a cleric come with a friend who had a pet and got him to pop within fifteen minutes, so Fluffy and I went to help. First we were to close to the bridge and he targeted the Kael Guards so we moved a bit and within five minutes of being in the new spot we had him. Then high tailed it out and ported.

I found Tanik using the pet trick as well. But the coin trick didn't work too well for me; especially when the pet is giving facing a roaming monster in the distance. Besides, the coin trick too WAAAAY too long.

So instead, I did it the old fashion way. I would take a few steps in the direction my pet is facing and then call my pet up to bring up the rare. Have him guard to point the way and take a few more steps. I would repeat until I spawned the DS or Tanik. It only took me 3 trys to find the little dude. But if you do manage to stumble on to the DS, you have exactly 1 second to start running or FD because they will only hesistate for that long.

Most of the time I would just FD and let the DS grind my poor pet into dust. After that, wait until they either wander off or despawn and start again. But, if you are not like a lucky necro like I am, then I would advise you to either do the coin trick or hope you can outrun the DS.

After three days of looking around I tried the Pet Trick, I was able to find him in 7mins. For those who are without pets, try the areas and don’t be shy about traveling a good distance out.

I found Tanik on the North Side of the Ramp a good ways out. Apparently he has several possible trigger points, the Ramp itself, North Side of the Ramp and South Side of The Ramp. Don’t worry about walking around and waiting, if you walk over him he will pop immediately.

I've been camping this guy, running all over the zone with tracking on, /shout and /ooc till my fingers are sore and the whole zone is complaining about spamming (and yet no one knows...) Where to find this guy! I have the write up of the quest, and on it, it states the approx /loc of him, but I've been there for the past 12 hours and still nothing. People have mentioned that when tracking him, he is listed as, "a injured warrior"..however when I try to hail this NPC, he doesn't respond. My guess, it's not the right character. So what now? Who and where or even what is the Place Holder, for this char? I'm dying to find out! I really want this 4th shawl badly! Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks

They seem to only drop in Velks Lab, about one or two an hour. People in the mid-100's tailoring have failed to make the combine too :(

I cannot believe we have yet again to master another trade for 1 point of WIS. Not only that but get your smithing and Brewings trades ready as you will not be able to reach master tailor without atleast some skill in those 2. If your lucky you have a friend who can do them. I however do not and will be stopping at step 5.

Time to move to Giant faction

5x Crystalline silk combine in sowing kit = Crystalline Silk Fibre

3x Crystalline Silk Fibre combine in Glowing Shardwurm Bile (container given to you) = 1 Glowing Crystalline Silk

5x Glowing Crystalline Silk combine in sowing kit with the shaw from part 4 of the quest = Your new 5 int shawl...hand shawl to ques guy and get another prize

Does anyone have info on how to make the crystaline silk threads? I have searched everywhere and have found nothing that refers to a recipe for crystaline silk thread. Silk swatches are made by combining 2 silks but thread? In the traditional recipes the silk is created by combining 2 spiderling silks. Unfortunately the crystaline spiderlings drops silks and not spiderling silks. Help please!

I logged in and checked with Borannin after this last patch and guess what!! The 5th part is now in. And it appears you'll need to become a master Tailor to master it. the following was taken straight from my log


You say, 'Hail Loremaster Borannin'

Loremaster Borannin says 'Greetings, Cesare , please be seated and hear the Grand Historian, he is among the wisest of our people.


You say, 'How may I further advance my reputation?'

Loremaster Borannin says 'Cesare ! Thank Brell you're here. I was about to send one of my Lorekeepers looking for you. It appears that the information Tanik acquired is most perilous indeed. The Dain has called an emergency session of the council and I must attend. We don't have the luxury of waiting for an appropriate task to arise, you must advance as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I have neither the time, nor the components to fashion the next few shawls for you. Ask Rexx Frostweaver about the prayer shawl and follow his direction carefully.


You say, 'Hail Rexx Frostweaver'

Rexx Frostweaver says 'Hmmm, ye be one o them offlanders, don't ye? I've heard some strange tales o yer kind so don't be tryin' any funny business with me. I know the value of a platinum piece and I'll not get cheated by yer foreign coin.


You say, 'what prayer shawl?'

Rexx Frostweaver says 'Gather five strands of crystalline silk thread and combine them in a sewing kit to make a crystalline silk fiber. Take this container and combine a glowing shardworm bile with three of the fibers to form a piece of glowing crystalline silk. Five pieces of glowing crystalline silk sewn to your fur-lined shawl will yield a beautiful silk shawl. Become a master in the art of tailoring before risking all you've worked for and be sure to let me inspect your work when it's complete.



by my calculations thats 75 crystalline silk threads that are needed to make all 5 pieces of glowing crystalline silk. My question is this. Are we supposed to hand the 5 pieces of glowing slik along with the 4th prayer shawl back to Rexx, and then he gives us the 5th shawl?

I don't understand why some people complain about quests. If you don't like them, don't do them. There is plenty of info out to help you decide before you start. I'm a druid and i'm doing the quest because it is challanging and I am enjoying it. If I stop liking it I will do something else but I sure won't complain about it... shissh.
