Rarnan Lapice is located at -725, -85 outside the Temple of Divine Light in Erudin. Requires amiable faction to Peacekeepers to complete the final turn-in.

You say, 'Hail, Rarnan Lapice'

Rarnan Lapice says 'It is good to meet you, ______. To enter the Temple of Divine Light is to invite Quellious into your body and soul. Tranquility is our way and, as such, we do all we can to uphold it. Are you a [cleric of Quellious], or am I mistaken?'

You say, 'I am a cleric of Quellious.'

Rarnan Lapice says 'I have a small task for you then. Go to the city library and ask the librarian for the book 'The Testament of Vanear'. I shall require it for further studies. Do not return empty-handed or you shall know my rage.'

Illithi Nollith is located at -1075, -220 in the Erudin City Library in Erudin.

You say, 'Hail, Illithi Nollith'

Illithi Nollith says 'Shhhh... Greetings, ______. Welcome to the Library of Erudin. Please respect the other patrons and speak softly.'

You say, 'I need the Testament of Vanear.'

Illithi Nollith says 'Oh my!! You have not heard?! The Testament of Vanear was stolen from the library! It was checked out by a man named Moodoro. He is an Erudite, but I believe he was executed for some crime. Now the book is lost forever. You should speak with Tol Nicelot. He used to know Moodoro. Tol is most likely upstairs.'

Tol Nicelot is located at -1095, -240 on the top floor of the library in Erudin.

You say, 'Hail, Tol Nicelot'

Tol Nicelot says 'I have no time to waste with strangers!'

You say, 'Did you know Moodoro?'

Tol Nicelot says 'Yes, I knew Moodoro Finharn. He used to be a good friend until he started visiting Qeynos and indulging in human vices. He was executed for crimes against the state. Not even his sister [Nolusia] could get the charge dropped. There have been some who say he escaped execution and lives in Qeynos. That is insane babbling.'

Moodoro Finharn is located at +165, +325 outside Crows Pub & Casino in North Qeynos.

You say, 'Hail, Moodoro Finharn'

Moodoro Finharn says 'Greetings, fellow traveler! I gotta tell ya. I love this town. Especially Crow's. Although the crowd seems a bit shadier than other places of the sort.'

You say, 'What Testament of Vanear?'

Moodoro Finharn says 'So you have heard that good old Moodoro has knowledge of the Testament of Vanear. I care little for that book. Of course I have it!! If you want it, I will sell it to you for two gold pieces.'

Give him 2 gold.

Moodoro Finharn says 'HA!! I hope you enjoy the book. It is missing pages 30 and 34. It is nothing more than garbage without them. A rogue ripped them from their bindings and sold them to [Ran].'

You receive a container called Testament of Vanear.

You say, 'Who is Ran?'

Moodoro Finharn says 'Ran Flamespinner is a librarian in Highpass Hold.'

Ran Flamespinner is located at -45, -345 in Highpass Keep.

You say, 'Hail, Ran Flamespinner'

Ran Flamespinner says 'I am very sorry to have to inform you that the library is off limits to strangers.'

You say, 'What Testament of Vanear?'

Ran Flamespinner says 'So, you seek the page 30 I recently purchased from an Erudite named Moodoro? He also had page 34, but refused to sell it to me. If you seek page 34, you will first have to find Moodoro. I had page 30 for but a few days when a man swiped it from the library's shelves. I believe he wore the garb of a guard of Qeynos. He darted away so fast I did not have time to cast a single spell! I believe he is still in Highpass, I can feel it!!'

Dyllin Starsine is located at +10, +55 in Highpass Hold.

You say, 'Hail, Dyllin Starsine'

Dyllin Starsine says 'Hey!! I don't have any spare change, okay?!'

You say, 'What Testament of Vanear?'

Dyllin Starsine says 'So you heard Guard Dyllin has page 30 of the Testament of Vanear, eh?! Well, get lost!! Over my dead body will you get page 30!'

You have looted a Page 30 of a Book..

Return to Moodoro Finharn.

You say, 'I want page 34.'

Moodoro Finharn says 'So, you know I have page 34. Pretty smart of me to tear the most important page out before someone else tried, eh? If you really want it, then sit down and deal in. Ante is 4 gold. I will give you one card. If it is a jester, then I will give you the page. Let's do it.'

Give him 4 gold and receive a card. You can receive one of several, but eventually you will get the Jester.

Moodoro Finharn says 'Well, what do you have?!!'

Give Moodoro the Jester.

Moodoro Finharn says 'Lucky you. We were hoping to really clean you out. Here you go. Take the page. Even together, the book is nothing more than fiction.'

Combine Page 30 of a Book and Page 34 of a Book in the Testament of Vanear container to craft a different Testament of Vanear. Return to Rarnan and give this to him.

Rarnan Lapice says 'I sent you after that book ages ago! What took you so long? I have already completed my studies. Luckily I found the original manuscript under my bedroll. I forgot I had kept it there. Take this as a token of my apology. Maybe it will aid you in your next book hunt. I know how cunning those books can be.'

Four Easy Steps (Don't Need Faction)

1. Kill Dyllin and loot page
2. Turn in 2 gold to Moodoro to get binding (2 slot container)
3. Keep turning in 4 gold to Moodoro until you get a Jester, turn that back into him
4. Hit combine = Testament of Vanear

There are nearly 20 pages worth of words and this is literally all you have to do. The hardest part is finding Dyllin, but I'll let you enjoy the only challenging part of this quest (hint: there is an NPC in the area that's on Find).

To any dark of clerics that were wondering, I was able to go to go straight to Moodoro and give him gold for the quest items even though he was dubious. I was surprised to see that I was not KOS to the Qeynos guards by default, however everything in High Pass conned threatening.

Don't listen to the people who say you need Amiable faction. No one in the Cleric's guild in Erudin will have anything to do with you unless you're amiable, but fortunately, Rarnan Lapice is irrelevant to actually getting your hands on the Testament of Vanear. I spent a bunch of hours running around trying to increase my Peace Keepers faction by 100 to become amiable so I could begin the quest. Then I tried just skipping the portions in Erudin and now I'm the owner of a Testament of Vanear.

http://i.imgur.com/9c3dlr4.png

1) Kill Dyllin Starsine in Highpass and collect page 30. His underwater tunnel can be found underneath the bridge next to the Lion's Roar
- When I did this quest about 15 years ago, there was a red smuggler wandering about we had to watch out for
- This time I saw no red smugglers, just a pathing light blue @ 24 smuggler who I pacified
- It took about about 20 seconds to nuke him down
2) Go to a banker and change some platinum over to about 100 gold
3) Go to Moodoro Finharn in Qeynos. Give him 2 gold to get the Testament of Vanear container
4) Tell him you "want page 34", then keep giving him 4 gold at a time until you get the Joker
5) Give him back the Joker and get page 34 in return
6) Combine page 30 and page 34 in the container to create the Testament of Vanear secondary with 10 mana and 10 wis
7) Laugh at those idiot Erudites because you have your book and you never even had to step foot their city

Thanks for the tip about the tunnel. I wouldn't have been able to do this without that info.
Tips I can add, for others reading this:
1) You can save yourself some time by doing Moodoro's game ahead of the run to Highpass.
2) After you speak to him initially he heads into the bar. (Handy info if you have to change some gold before playing.)

That said... One misleading point to clear up:
You DO need Amiable if you plan to turn in the Testimate at the end. If you don't care about the faction bump, then no biggie.

How come you mention nothing of turning it in?
Don't you have to turn it in to finish the quest? You say combine and "that's it" ???
Can anyone confirm if you can just "skip the turn in"? Because that's what people are saying is the reason you need to increase faction in Erudin.

There are many classic quests like this where talking to someone isn't required but if you know all the info to the quest, (thanks Allakhazam) you can bypass half the quest.

I can confirm there's no need to get any faction in Erudin, just kill Dyllin Starsine in Highpass Hold (it's Tiger's Roar, not Lion's Roar, btw), go see Moodoro Finharn in North Qeynos; get the Jester card, combine, and voilà you get the Testament of Vanear.

Moodoro is dubious to me and doesn't really want to chat with me ("Is that your BREATH, or did something die in here? Now go away!") but gladly gets my gold coins and gives me his random cards.

You must be at least amiable to Peacekeepers. You can actually do the entrie quest if you know the right words to say, but the final item is rejected unless you are amiable.

I did it over 200 times with Moodoro, but he never gave a Knight Card. I think it's safe to bet he doesn't give that card out, which is used to turn in to a dwarf in Ocean of Tears for a reward.

I just did this on the progression server (Vulak), and had no problems with the coins. Went to bank, changed 100 plat into 1000 gold, then went to Moodoro (without buying or selling at a vendor). Then gave 4 gold at a time (got Jester fairly quickly, less than 10 tries).

(39, 126) both possitive is the actual location of Dylin Starsine.. Not 10 55 or what ever. You have to go through cave underwater and into smugglers area. he has 7 to 8 hour spawn timer at the oven/barrels area.

I just tried this quest today, but have the feeling that since Highpass has been revamped that it is impossible to do. I have searched all waters and can't find Dyllin anywhere!!! Any help would be appreciated.

Dyllin Starsine is not in the water. There is an underwater cave that is the entrance to the Smugglers cave. Dyllin Starsine spawns in the middle of a bunch of crates in these caves. Con the smugglers and make sure none are close when you attack Dyllin.

Last night my new cleric tried this quest for the hell of it (tried with my 11 druid a month ago, but was broken). I was pleasantly surprised when Moodoro took my $ and actually gave me a card!! Got Jester on second try!!! So yes, this quest seems to be working again. Now on to Dyllin!

Tried doing this quest and got stuck on the same part - when I give Mood the 4 gp he kept repeating the earlier message! I petitioned but the GM said to make sure I'm doing everything correctly. But I have no idea in what possible way else to ask him .. bar turning a cartwheel and giving him the money!

I see others have posted, once apon a time, about Moodoro not giving the pg 34 when you give him the 4gp, and that instead you get the message again that you originaly recieved when giving 2gp for the book. Has anyone found a work around or fix for this? I petitioned of course... and got a response that "the quest is working, please keep trying". Well, that is CRAP. I did the quest by doing each step !!! I even went to HHP and talked to Ran before going back to Moodoro to get page 34, even though i knew he had it, just like the quest script says (Ran is the one who tells you that Moodoro has pg 34). Any way. Im still working on it and trying new things. Ill check back and see if anyone has found a fix, or can tell me what im doing wrong.

Thanks!

As of the date of this reply, Moodoro is still not dealing cards when given 4gp. I even tried doing the entire quest starting from Erudin.

On Maelin Starpyre he is bugged. I every time I try to deal a card from him, I get the same text I get when you give him 2 gold to get the book with the missing pages. I have tried to give him 4 platnum, 4-6 gold pieces, 40 silver, even 400 copper. Still the same thing. Even another player trying to do the quest has gotten the same thing, so its not just me. Any help?

Ok, my wife and I just finished this quest. You don't have to talk to Rarnan in the Temple of Divine Light. You really don't have to talk to Nolusia either. If you do, once she mentions the doppelganger, you're done with her. Go straight to Crows in Qeynos, give Moodoro 2 gp and get the Testament container. Then give him 4 gp to play cards until you get the Jester, give it back and get Page 34. My wife conned dubious to Moordoro and he still played cards with her. Go to Highpass and find Dyllin, and kill him. Two of the smugglers there conned light blue to me at 61. We paci'd Dyllin and knocked him down pretty fast. Loot Page 30, combine in the Testament container, and you're done. The way this quest is written above makes it difficult to follow. Hopefully this helps.

Cant get Started on Library Book Quest (Help!?)

Hi All!

I'm having difficulty with this one with my lvl 21 Druid, and wonder if anyone has any suggestions.

First, although Rarnan is indifferent to me, it took me ages to get his attention. I finally did that by offering him something, his telling me that he didn't need it. But then he did respond to me. However, all he did was ask me if I was a cleric. If I answered no, he went silent. If I answered yes, I was told that I had not done much to upset the Peacekeepers of the temple, but they had to ask me to prove myself before they would discuss "things like this". (Maybe it was all that jumping up and down, making funny faces and waiving my arms to get his attention that made him think I wasn't worthy?) So, anyhow, how do I prove myself with the Clerics here?

One thing I tried, but fell flat on my face: I had read that giving Elials's bones to the "Mage Guildmaster" would help raise faction with the caster. So I tried giving the bones to each of the mage guildmasters in Erudin, each of whom told me he couldn't use it and gave it back. The enchanters on the upper floors told me to get out before they made me get out (or something to that effect).

I tried to bypass the whole beginning and talk to Moodoro. He was quite rude and said somethig nasty to me, and then turned away.


Another possibility is that, given that most of these postings are at least a year old (darn, I wish they'd show years!) perhaps this quest doesn't exist anymore. That is probable, because I'm finding that most quests that Druids could do, if rated "good" or "excellent" are being declared "dead", "gonzo", "no longer in effect" etc. Only the ones rated by the players as average or disappointing seem to remain..

Well, anyway, if any of you have suggestions, I'd be terribly grateful.

Regards,
BlueViolet

Alluania -

Many thanks for the advice. I am now the proud bearer of the Testament of Vanear. I gave the 2g to Moodoro and then drew for the page he has. I suspect you only get the Joker if Moodoro is by the water, but don't really want to test my theory in case I'm wrong.

I had some trouble in Highhold - at one point there were two red smugglers (tracker showed them both). I tried the advice to kill Dyllin by the water, but the red smuggler came running each time I tried to hit Dyllin there - appeared within 20 seconds each time, even though I had checked he was on his way out. I was killed a couple of times. Finally went and watched the patterns by the canopy. The red smuggler walked toward the water, the blue smuggler turned and joined his friends out of sight and then I snared rooted and nuked.

This quest is still working as my son is working on it for his cleric. I do have some fuzzy memeories of when I had my druid run threw it too, so I'll give you my input and maybe that will help you finish it up.

Moordoro is always a bit rude if you are not "just right" with your faction with him, BUT you can still bypass all the small talk and jump right to the stuff that matters..

First step is to go straight to Moodoro first, just give him the 2gp and he will give you the binder you need to combine the pages in.

The next step is to get Page 34 from Moodoro as well, you say to him... "I want page 34" and he will then tell you to gamble for it. All I remember is I kept losing and so it cost me lots of money, I told my son to bring 50 - 30 pp in gp's just in case he kept losing like I did... guess what? He got the page first try!! I felt like hitting him (lol).

Next step is to go to highhold where Dyllin Starshine is hanging out. If he has already been killed he is on a four hour timer (which totally sucks!) so best bet is to bind there if you are a druid, that way you can gate in to see if he is up, then port back out if he is not.

To fight Dyllin the very best place is down by the water. He leaves his post under that shade tarp and wanders down by the water every 5 mins or so. WARNING!!! The "Red" Smuggler does the same walk from time to time and also does this about every 5 mins or so. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Time them! Start watching the clock so you know when to expect them to come. Wait for Smuggler to be gone before attempting to kill Dyllin or you will die.

Also, use root and snare and dont let them drop, Dyllin will start to run away, and he has gotten into the water before with me and died from my dots, for somereason I was not able to follow him, and he died in some unknown location becuase you will lose him in the water if he gets in there and gets away. It's very frustrating to kill him, only to not get your page and then have to wait another 4 hours before trying again. Not to mention how unpopular you will be when you take TWO bad faction hits. So, root and snare and dont let that drop.

DS yourself, nuke, dot, whatever you need to do, just kill the bugger. Not to hard to solo at that lvl.

Does anyone know if this quest is broken or if you have to be amiable to erudites? The reason I ask is that I have all three pieces of this quest and have attempted to combine without anything happening...it doesn't even tell me I can't combine them. I wondered if I needed to start the quest in order to combine them and when I talk to Rarnan he tells me that I need to prove myself before we can discuss things like this. Erudites con indifferent to me. Am I just a moron? Thanks for any help anyone can give.
