Gnoll Fur  

The description of this is extremely confusing as there are many things being talked about at once. Let's focus on just the Gnoll Fur quest
~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Halas bank on the second floor, you will find Cappi McTarnigal. Hail him and he will ask if you are a member of the white rose. When you tell him you are he asks you for mammoth calf hides but at the same time his fellow trainer, Ysanna Macgibbon, mentions gnoll fur.

You will need to be indifferent to both Cappi and Ysanna in order to do this quest:

You say, 'Hail, Cappi McTarnigal'

Cappi McTarnigal says 'Hail there, ____! If you are not a [member of the White Rose], then it be best that you stay on the lower level. This here floor is for honest ...ermm respectable rogues only.'

You say, 'member of the White Rose'

Cappi McTarnigal says 'I hope that you are indeed respectable, and loyal to Halas and the Rogues of the White Rose. To do otherwise would bring the wrath of the Six Hammers down on you. But enough with talk! Our caravan to the frigid north leaves in less than two days, and we are short on mammoth calf hides. Return four of them and you will be given items that show your loyalty to our Clan.'

Ysanna MacGibbon says 'The mammoth calf hides are used to shield our beasts of burden from the icy wind. You are probably now asking what shields us Northmen from that same icy wind eh? Well, along with many other furs and leathers, we have come to find that [gnoll fur] of all things is a good insulator against the cold. Look at their tiny bodies and it's obvious their fur does something good.'

Now move to target Ysanna before continuing

You say, 'gnoll fur'

Ysanna MacGibbon says 'You should not be asking where or what a gnoll is, but asking how I make use of that patch fur I find on their corpse. It is quite simple, take four pieces of gnoll fur and sew them together. Take the result and sew four of them together. And again with that product. In the end you will have a bundle of tailored gnoll fur. You can either return it to me or keep it for yourself.'

Trivials:

Gnoll Fur Patch 21
Gnoll Fur Patch Quarter 26
Patched Gnoll Fur Bundle 31

Give Ysanna the Patched Gnoll Fur Bundle.

Ysanna MacGibbon says 'You have done well. Here is a small reward for your effort.'

Your faction standing with Rogues of the White Rose increased by 5.
You gain experience!!
You receive 3 silver from Ysanna MacGibbon.
You receive 1 platinum from Ysanna MacGibbon.

Reward is: Fang of the Wolf

Skill check for the basic patch combining is trivial at around 20, but I still failed about 15% of the time at 27 tailoring. I never failed a check to combine Gnoll Fur Patch (4 Patches) into a Gnoll Fur Quarter. However when I went to combine the final result, I lacked the skill. I am SO not killing 300+ gnolls again to get all those patches :(.

Alright, I put the furs in the sewing kit, press combine, and I get a message saying
"These items cannot be combined" or something to that effect. What do I need to do?

Hey, guess what I found! There is a certain procedure to putting the furs in that will increase your odds of getting a result. The key is all in the old adage "When in Rome, do as the Romans." The computer places items in your inventory slots a specific way, the key is to mimic it. Place four furs in the top left slot in the kit and then move three to the slot immediatly beneath it. Next move two to the top right slot and the last to the one beneath that one. Never place them in clockwise, although sometimes counter-clockwise will work; but always start with the top left corner.

Call me superstitious but so far I get no more XP from making patches.

P.S. I also seek the answer to the question posed in the previous post, so please reply.

Does the game let you complete the quest if you can't use the weapon? I'm a level 8 enchanter and a level 20 Tailor. Why is it that I don't get experience for making gnoll fur patches, I can fashion the quarters almost every time, and yet every time I try for the final product, It blows up in my face. When I did it with a barbarian shamen on a different server, I got it on the first try and it only took 132 patches of gnoll fur. As of so far, I've use at least a good five hundred of them and haven't gotten one

Next to Mac's Kilts (on the right of the door when facing it) in the merchant area of Halas, there is a huge white loom. It sort of looks like the thing Cindl is standing next to inside of Mac's Kilt but it doesn't have the plaid thing on it. If you click on the feet that hold it up, it will open up as a sewing kit with, I believe, 10 slots. Put four furs in there at a time and combine.

Last I knew, combining gnoll furs was fail safe and raised your tailoring skill as you do it. There's no reason not to do this quest.

I had the prob with the final piece not combining before the SoL expansion... only had two failures in the whole proccess. Since the expansion I have not been able to get a single combine to work in 4 tries. This is with 27 skill... just wondering if the trivial went up or I am just unlucky.

every other vendor in qeynos seems to sell these gnoll furs.. i was just wanting to make something while i camped pyzjn, so I would kill the gnolls in the day, and I eventually made the cloak.. I am lucky my 4 quarters didn't fail, because that would have been 64 furs.

I got my 4 gnoll patch quarters after collecting literally hundreds of gnoll furs. My skill level in tailoring was 26 and I failed. Needless to say I was very dissapointed. At the same time, if you are planning to stay in blackburrow for a while, I would recomend having a large tailoring kit to work on this quest. At least it gives you something to do. If I had to do it again, I would just wait until my skill was higher before completing the last part.

One other note, I had bought some fur from others for about 1SP per. Just as I failed in completeing mine I saw someone bidding 3pp for a stack of fur.

the patched bundle of gnoll fur only requires 64 gnoll furs, if you succeed in all of the tailoring.

the patched bundle of gnoll fur's stats are
class:ALL race:ALL slot:BACK weight:4.0
AC6 +5sv Vs. cold

only barbarians can use the fang of the wolf
