Josper Kenshed is located at +910, +740 in the Tower of The Crimson Hands in Erudin Palace.

You say, 'Hail, Josper Kenshed'

Josper Kenshed says 'Come forward and speak. What is it you seek within these walls? Let it be the knowledge of wizardry, for that is what we are. Only a [servant of wizardry] should be within these walls.'

You say, 'I am a servant of wizardry.'

Josper Kenshed says 'A servant, you say? If you be a young apprentice, perhaps you might assist me? I could use you to [collect components]. If you believe yourself to be beyond such things, you may wish to assist me with a [special matter].'

You say, 'I can collect components.'

Josper Kenshed says 'Of course you may assist me!! We have much need of a certain item which can only be found in the frigid peaks of Everfrost. There you shall find creatures called ice goblins. Take this bag and fill it with ice goblin beads and be sure to combine them before you return them. Well, then... Off with you!! And be quick about it and I shall give you a fine wizard's weapon. None of this rust-covered garbage offered by our associates!'

Receive an Empty Bag (identifies as "Bag for Ice Necklaces"), a 6-slot container.

Head to Everfrost Peaks and kill ice goblins to loot Goblin Ice Necklaces.

Combine 6 Goblin Ice Necklaces in the Empty Bag to create a Bag of Ice Necklaces.

Hand Josper Kenshed the Bag of Ice Necklaces.


Josper Kenshed says 'Well done, my young apprentice. I call you apprentice for you are nothing but a spark to my fire. This is the final component for my greatest creation. AHA!! I call it - iced tea!! Never again shall I boil under the hot sun. As for you, take this. It should serve you well. Now go away. There is no iced tea for you.'

Josper Kenshed will not give you the bag at Indifferent or lower to Tower of The Crimson Hands.
Amiable or higher is likely the requirement.

the staff might not be much - but the point is to do quests! Besides its a nice big bag so you can collect things to sell - that's worth a lot to a newbie.

Well +5 mana works for me
# Aug 24 2001 at 2:51 AM Rating: Default
I'm playing a human Mage and it's my first character. Maybe the vets out there can do without these "worthless" items but I'll take all the help I can.
RE: Well +5 mana works for me
# Nov 06 2001 at 9:33 PM Rating: Default
Agreed. After raising a couple of int casters to 51+ and starting from scratch on a different server, I appreciate this weapon nonetheless. The quest is very easy and +5 mana is better than >>> 0 <<<
Done at lv 2

I had a lvl 2 erudite wiz and made the trip through qeynos , qeynos hills, blackburrow, and got to everfrost, offered 1sp for every bead necklace I recieve and finished it within an hour

In any quest where the quest giver hands you a container and tells you to fill it with some items, you have to hit the combine button on the container when the right items are in it. After hitting the combine button, the container will transform into another item that you can turn in to the quest giver.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 11 2001 at 2:25 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) My opinion: cracked staff unless all you want is low delay, 5 mana isn't even a level 1 damage spell (most are 7 mana) and you can get a cracked staff at level 1 I've done it before.
Hardly worth the effort

I did this quest thinking it would be a good way to get a magic item to knock wisps around with. Being fairly new, I didn't realize the staff doesn't have that Magic Item note in the description. It was fairly easy to get the necklaces and the staff, but I found out the hard way it doesn't work on wisps. Being an Erudite chanter with 142 int the 5 mana really doesn't help me out a lot and that is about the only benefit. Pretty much a waste of time, especially since I didn't even get any xp from killing the goblins in the first place (was lvl 8 when I did the quest).
Not for Magicians!
# Mar 24 2001 at 1:14 AM Rating: Default
I am getting really tired of this. This quest will not work with Magicians, they guy keeps saying I have to prove my worth yet he cons Amiable to me, and I am Erudite. I am getting so tired of this, why aren't there any Magician Only Quests for lower levels? I just don't get it.
And yes I know about the gloves, but that seems to be the only one that is available for Magicians before lvl 28.
Beads?
# Feb 17 2001 at 6:20 PM Rating: Default
I was in Everfrost for several days, killed many Icegoblins, but got only Ice Goblin Necklaces as loot, never one of these Beads? Where can i get them?

now lv10 Erudite Enchantress
RE: Beads?
# Mar 01 2001 at 5:23 PM Rating: Decent
I think the terms beads & necklaces are interchangable here... My Wiz is lvl 12 now, but I don't currently have a 1HB magic weapon (got a 2HB magic, but I just picked up a skull of Jen'Trar (has to be in a melee slot) and I like the extra mana it gives) Beside, watching ice goblin whelps convulse and die from a lvl 8 shock spell is fun! I think I'll give this a try tonight. Results tomorow.
LoL, lvl 10?
# Jan 23 2001 at 9:09 PM Rating: Decent
You must be lvl 1!! all u have to be able to do is travel to halas and kill a few blue ice goblins there. They're lvl 1 and the box u can get at lvl 1 so I think he accidentially put 10 on here instead of lvl 1.
If you're an enchanter
# Nov 17 2000 at 3:50 PM Rating: Default
Enchanters just don't get that many 1hb weapons, and you'll want a one-hander for when you get your Stein of Moggok. Vy the time you're able to do Moggok, you will have the Alliance spell, and that should be sufficient to enable you to get this weapon. At a minimum, it's a good backup weapon, and you should be used to travelling anyway :)
this quest sucks!
# Oct 21 2000 at 11:40 PM Rating: Default
This quest is totally worthless unless you're doing it for faction. The weapon is 4/28 and gives 5 mana. A cracked staff is 5/32 which is a better attack delay. Cracked staves can be found fairly frequently on decayed skeletons, and don't involve travelling 6 zones over, through some dangerous areas (can't solo your way through the tunnel after the zone from BB into Everfrost until level 7 or so). By the time you have leveled enough to be able to do this quest you will have come across a cracked staff... I say go with the cracked staff and save yourself a lot of pointless running.
RE: this quest sucks!
# Nov 09 2000 at 3:28 PM Rating: Default
Well this quest CAN be done at level 1. I did it at level 1. Show me a cracked staff at lvl 1 that gives you an added 5mana. It is a fun quest. When I did it the first 9 goblin WELPS
i killed had 2backspacks and 6 neckalces and I dinged to lvl 2.

All you need for this quest is to ask someone for a SOW nad make sure you have a lightsource with you. the tunnels are dark:)

#Anonymous, Posted: Oct 12 2000 at 3:40 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I think I can speak for everyone on this topic. Please people when you know that someone has been camping for a long time, don't pester them about when they are going to leave. Don't sit down next to them to "wait" until they are done. You might be waiting a long time and then the time it takes for you to complete your camp on top of that. The NPC will always respawn and will always be there. Just ask them kindly if they will send you a tell when they are done and 9 times out of 10 they will. These players are tired from camping that long of a period and quite understandably a little grouchy and become extremely nervous at the thought of someone possibly stealing their kill. So, be courteous.
Dont wait till 10

I Lunes was able to finish this at 6th level its a good quest to orientate newbies. My advice go for it :)
this is good

This I heard is a good quest beacause you get to have a good wepon and you can get a buddy to help you do it!!I think it is a good quest i might do it my self he he!

Ya know these necklaces drop off a level ONE mob too, not just the scouts. Goblin welps dropem all the time(or at least it seems they do). The hardest part of this quest is getting to Everfrost since as a lvl 1-5 you'd probably be beaten to death tryin to get through black borrow.

Running through Blackburrow as a low-level character isn't too tough - it's a very short run. I made a level 1 Barbarian warrior just for fun once and ran her to Qeynos without any problem. It was the very first time I had ever been in that zone, too - I just looked at the eqatlas.com map beforehand. I had more problems with finding the entrance from Everfrost than in Blackburrow.
Faction Raising

To improve your faction with the caster guilds kill Elial Brook, a lvl 7 necro who spawns by a hut near the Bridge in Tox forest.

If you are not a Erudite, you will need to get your factions up. They would not even talk to me as a Human Magician. The problem here is, there are not many things in the Toxx Forest that on can kill easily or repeated, unless you are teen level. Also, if anyone knows a simple quest that can be done to get the factions up, it would help.

To raise your factions with the three Erudin caster guilds, kill Heretic Prophets in Toxxulia Forest or Elias Brook by the dock on the west side of the Toxxulia zone.

The prophets are evil Erudite clerics: my Erudite Magician could handle some of them at level 4 or 5; at level 7, he's been able to handle every one he's run into without much problem.

Elias Brook is a level 7 necromancer; like most named NPCs he fights harder than he cons. My level 12 ranger was able to kill him consistently, but the fights were often tough.

If you can handle him, Elias is a fairly fast way to raise your faction, since he reaspawns in just a few minutes. The prophets are much easier to kill, but they wander around the zone and it takes more time to kill enough to raise your faction; having a character with tracking along is a big help.
RE: Elias
# Nov 23 2001 at 7:59 AM Rating: Default
well Elias brook aint that hard as long as you have a pet ... did him with my 7 necro with no probs (ofcourse still using lvl4 spells) just sent in your pet before you start casting spells the both Elias and her pet will go on your pet and not you ... make sure both you and your pet attack Elias first then she should be piece of cake :)

Have done her with my 5 mage with a friend he was 5 mage to we finished in no time :)
