Coldain Shawl #3: Woven Coldain Prayer Shawl  

For everyones info you have someone turn in seal then you turn in your 2nd shawl and you will get the 3rd and the seal

In doing the whole shawl quests it is primarily about trade skills and trivials. You must get proficient at certain trade skills in order to stand a reasonable chance of success. As such this is a baking quest. The higest trivial for this quest is 127.
I would suggest that you do the following.

1. Dump 21 points into this at your guildmaster.
2. Get a filet knife from somewhere.
3. Go to the meat shop at Thurgadan and see Mordin with whatever mindbuff you can have at your level and about 75 plat.
4. Buy stacks of bearmeat
5. Make bearmeat filets (bear meat and filet knife in oven) up to a rediculously high trivial of 143 (for under 75 plat WOOT).

Do the quest.
The trivials are:

Tundrabear Sandwich (54 Trivial)
Snow Bunny Stew (103 Trivial)
Ulthork Meat Pie (95 Trivial)
SnowGriffin Souffle (127 Trivial)

Good Luck

Marinebow Sniper (53 Ranger)
Canesdoctor Syphcurer (60 Cleric)
Caneschanter Endowed (62 Ench)
Marshel Mathers (62 Shaman)
D Ro Server, Shadow Congress.

You can run, but you will just die TIRED.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS SHAWLYOU CAN SKIP THIS SHAWL

After I spent countless hours farming griffon eggs against competition of around 8 or 9 people at a time I figured I had to offer some salvation to those that might wish to avoid this.

Things you need:
1 person who has done this shawl before and kept there Seal of Thoridain
1 2nd Shawl

Its simple really have someone who has done the 3rd shawl hand Loremaster Borannin the Seal of Thoridain, that they got back when they turned in thier 2nd shawl. Then the lucky recipiant of this will turn in thier second shawl and recieve the third shawl and Seal of Thoridain. Thus skipping the satanic snow griffons!

I gave Mordin Borannin's seal and I got the faction and the exp but NO napkin? Does anyone know if this quest is now bugged?

Gave the pie to Brita, along with the napkin, but nothing happened, and she stole both items...

I've been hunting griffins for 3 DAYS and have only seen 9 so far. I got 4 egg drops in a row, failed onthe combine at 136 baking. Went back to EW, hunting for 2 more DAYS and saw only ONE griffin. No egg drops.

And yes, I was hunting them near IC zone in EW.

So far, all the baked items are Multi-Questable. My friend has 170+ Baking and would turn in the food item, then I would turn in the napkin and get the exp and the used (napkin, pot, pie-tin) back.

2 full days of griffin hunting. got the 4 eggs. have 135 baking. put in oven and failed. I'm pissed.

Here it goes, to get your skill to 135 very very easily and relatively cheap you only require 3 items, but in large amounts. What I did was get a couple of 10 slot containers, then, I went to East commons, I bought bat wings from Katha Firespinner, and in the same zone, frosting from Parthar. Combine them to make Batwing Crunchies to skill level 46. Then go to East Freeport and buy some fresh fish from Tanlok Harson, and fish from Katha again, combine them to make Fish Rolls to skill level 135. Thanks to Oakwood Moonblaze for the info.

My wife, Taminy is currently working on this and she asked me to post for her. She was very put out when she read all of the other posts on this shawl and it didn't tell her where any of the peeps were at that she had to feed. So she asked me to put this down to help anyone else that has that question:

Guard Leif: He was found guarding the Paladin Training Hall. He devoured a Tundrabear Sandwich

Trita Coldheart: She was found at home with her husband across from Frostbeard's Furs & Leather. She had the Snowbunny Stew for lunch.

Lorekeeper Brita: She was found putting the history of the Coldain in order at the Temple of Brell. She demanded an Ulthork Meat Pie.(hint: same building that you find Loremaster Borannin)

Grand Historian Thoridain: He was found giving a lecture in the Temple of Brell. He savoured a Snow Griffin Souffle.(hint: same building that you find Loremaster Borannin)

To get your baking skill on up to 190 and above but <200 make lion patty melts. Take one lion meat, 1 cheese, 1 bread and a non-stick frying pan and combine. Bread and cheese are at the zone in at Jaggedpine, Pergan Darkcloud, not dangerous at all. The meat is in the Bazaar back by the water where you zone to the Druic, etc. trainer. It's one of these names, but I don't remember which: Nicoela, Daliea Saeiersa or Samotal Semians. Anyway, she's short ;-)Get your pottery up to make the frying pan, it's cheap. Check out www.eqtrader.com, all this stuff is there.

Not finished currently with the shawl, but this is my progress. B4 you begin the shawl quest, get your baking skill up to 130. I did this by increasing my baking to 60 a long time ago, and just making fish rolls in FP till 130. But b4 leaving FP, go get a few snake eggs, & put them in the bank. You'll know soon. Then, go to Plane of Knowlege (If you have Pop. If you dont, while your making fish rolls, go buy a mixing bowl at the Browntoes Bakery), go to the Tradeskill merchants, and in a few min, you'll find a mixing bowl. Go to Bazaar, stock up on 1 Tundra Kodiak meat & 2 Snow Bunny meat. Don't buy Ulthork Meat just yet. And if you don't have Luclin yet, your screwed. Go buy it, it's worth more than $30.00. Then go to Shadow Haven, go to the short section (WARNING: I am an enc, and I can do Illusion: Gnome to fix my House of Stout faction. It is highly suggested if your not an enc that you 1. Sneak or 2. Load up a few plat on a rogue mule and use his sneak. Or if your House of Stout faction is ok, then don't bother this. Expecially if your a short race) go to a smith merchant, and chose. Smithing or pottery, you gotta chose to finish the shawl. I chose pottery because if you go to EQ traders, and spend some time raising pottery skill(Which is easy), you can be a master potterer and not waste a cp over 30pp. Well, if you have either trained, make a Pot & Pie tin. Yet again, look up the recipie on EQTraders. Also but a Spit around PoK or FP.

Ok now we get on the quest. Go to Thurg, talk to Borranin (Or Boring as I call him), talk to the butcher, and initiate the quest. Buy bread from him, then go buy a jug of sauces from the Thurg Exchange, MAke the meat, put a bred loaf and the meat in the mixing bowl, and make the Tundrabear Sandwich (Triv around 40). Give it to Leif, talk to butcher. Go make Snow Bunny Stew. Now you'll realize why I wanted you to make a pot. I spent 4 hours trying to make a pot. You could do it in 10 min. Make sure b4 leaving buy some water flasks. Back to thurg exchange, go make Bunny meat by combinding 2 bunny meat & a jug of sauces in a mixing bowl, buy spices, take the spices, water, meat & pot into your spit, make the stew. Give it to Trita, and talk to butcher.
Pie tin was pre made, so now go to Thurg Exchange, quickly buy Vinegar, Spices, milk & Flour, and leave for bazaar. In bazaar, take out your snake eggs from FP, make some dough, & put the Vinegar & Spices into the mixing bowl. Make sure there is nothing more but those 2 items in the mixing bowl, & put it to the front of your inventory. Quickly find a person who sells Ulthork Meat, (Btw, eat alot of food B4 you do this so you dont accidntally eat the meat), buy the meat, and go into inventory, and hit combine. Grab the meat, put it all into your spit along with the dough & pie tin, hit combine, and put the pie at the absolute back of your inventory. Also make sure to eat alot of food so you dont scarf down the pie. Run all the way to Thurg, & give Brita her pie. Get to butcher and initiate the last part.
After instructions, grab your friends, & go griffin Hunting in EW. Now this may take awhile, so get like 5 stacks of bread and put all eggs you find at the absolute back of your inventory. Prepare for a long hunt. In 12-15 Griffs, about 4 eggs should drop. Quickly get out, run back to thurg, and go to Thurg exchange. Get some spices, and bake all 4 eggs & the spices in a spit. The souffle should be trivial, if not, please reply with your results. Quickly give the souffle to Thoridain right beside Boring and get Thoridain's Seal. Give Boring the Seal and your Shawl and this quest should be done in less than 17 hours (Not including time to raise skills). GL on your shawls everyone, and Btw, here's a link to EQTraders: http://www.eqtraders.com/

I was helpin a friend to do 3rd quest, and since i bake, still low but she has done noo baking, i made the saucybearmeat. I saw that it was no drop, so i came here to check on the sandwhich itself, unfortuantely its no drop too. Anyway, i the description above it says to combine meat and sauce in oven, i use a spit due to my being a lizard and having limited acess to cities and it didn't work, so i tried in the mixingbowl and it worked there. As far as i know a spit can be used anytime in place of an oven.

I'm a little confused about the mixing bowl. Do I need one of those mixing bowls that have slots and a combine button inside to make something that get's put in the oven? Or do I just need a crafted mixing bowl that will itself get put into the oven with the other ingredients? Perhaps someone who's done the quest can clarify this for me. Thanks.
