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!' Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards has been adjusted by -100. Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos has been adjusted by 15. Your faction standing with Kane Bayle has been adjusted by -15. Your faction standing with Circle Of Unseen Hands has been adjusted by -10.

You will surely be punished... unggh!' You have slain Dyllin Starsine! 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.' Your faction standing with Peace Keepers has been adjusted by 50. Your faction standing with High Council of Erudin has been adjusted by 12. Your faction standing with Heretics has been adjusted by -12. You gain experience!! You receive 20 gold from Rarnan Lapice. You receive 3 platinum from Rarnan Lapice.

Is dilyin really that hard? It seems u are all treating him like a nightmare when he has that lvl 50 smmugler alongside him. I have never tried this quest and i think it will be wqorth the effort and the danger to get such an ite. I mean i just hit lvl 19 and i dont wish to lose a level just cause this lvl 50 smmugler kills me. I have tp spells but im bound ain Overtthere so i dont have to take the long boat ride there. I already have like +20WIS worth in items at lvl 19 and NO, I DID NOT TWINK. I have a ton of good jewelry. I got very lucky and some high lvls made me some jewelry Very good jewelry. So maybe its not the best, but im proud of it. A ruby veil, how many people can boast that at lvl 19? Anyways, My question is at lvl 19 i should have no problem, right? I mean a couple of careless lightnings would finish him, wont it? And one more questuion, does WIS increase mana for every lvl? Like if u have 120WIS and just hit lvl 19, and then u get the testament, and then will u get all the mana? This is a question cause im debating whether or not to die purposly and then level up again to get more mana.
Dieing purposely would really be dumb. Yes you gain a level's worth of mana every time you ding up...you also lose it when you die and de-level. It would be sort of silly for EQ to allow you to gain an extra level's worth of mana every time you de-level and relevel...people would do it all day long and have mega mana - I bet I could die and relevel from level 1 to 2 about 100 times in an hour.
Sorry to say but you have loose the bet ..... you can´t de-level and relevel in the first 5 lvls cuz you dont loose exp if u die.
P.d. Haha
P.d. Haha
hehe good point
so i'd have to wait a few levels to prove the futility of the exercise of de-levelling and re-levelling...my origianl point being that it is indeed futile is just as true.

Me and my wizard friend camped Dyllin for about five and half hours. When he finally poped I checked for the red con (which was red to my friend at 40) and after he was standing by the water my friend unleashed his most powerful spell into him. Luckily he dropped him before I could get an attack in because the red con glitched and charged him right through the wall and started double hitting him for 101s. He managed to gate out with 5hp left and only survived because of a huge cleric buff. He thinks the patroling red con is lv60 by the way he hits. Well any ways I looted the page and some other no drop item and waited for my friend to return.
Then he dragged me over to Qeynos where I found Moodoro. I spent 10pp on his game before he gave me the joker. Then we ported over to Nro where he signed on as his Shadow Knight and gave me the 2 slotted book that he found on the ground some where.
Oh, and a Halfing Druid was goind to KS us in Highpass but eventually my friend convinced her to leave; after she saw my equipment she felt sorry for me because I had only +2 in widom items at lv16.

Posted: May 26 2001 at 3:24 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Keep every card you get from Moodoro. They're lore (you can only have one in your inventory), so every one you get that's not the Jester improves your chances of getting it. Took me about 8pp to figure that out (DOH!) but then got it easy as pie.

Hi, I have a bit of info that may be helpful to those attempting this quest. If you go to the cave and someone is already camped there, be friendly to them and offer them 5pp or so to send you a tell when they kill him, so you can time his next pop. Then you also know the perfect time to come back to camp it. For example, if it's getting late and you get the tell, you could log off at the camp, set your alarm, wake up early the next morning and log in to check. The extra info is well worth the 5pp imho.
I got the testament last night, finally I can have my inventory slot back in my bank account!
Hope this helps!

I just tried this quest, it sucked. Maybe because I have no luck, and everyone I run into are jerks. Well I waited 7 hrs to help a lower lvl druid do this quest incase he needed help, after he killed him I waited another 7 hrs for me to kill Dyllin, I went LD and came back 2 other characters were there they said hey you left he is ours now. Then I thought ok guess I will wait 7 more hrs. I waited over 22hrs to kill Dyllin only to be KSed by lvl 35+, and I am only lvl 27. He spawned , and I was in the middle of fighting Dyllin, and the lvl35+ just started to attack him and won because he was a higher lvl than me. I asked him why, over and over I was crushed to have this happen to me =( you know what I got from him just an oh well! He said he was there before and I told him No way I have been waiting for over 22hrs and he was being a jerk about it.
He just said sorry, and called me all this crap. My friend got pissed and told him *beep* and I got put on ignore, when I was the one who should have put him on ignore. I petitioned to see if anything can be done to help me out in any way, I waited for another freaken 4hrs and no response from GMs and had to go to work when I got home I petitioned again and finally a response but just an apology that nothing can be helped. Sadly to say I have quit everquest because of this. I can't even lvl, I can't do quests. I just gave up because all of the BS. Good bye Vazaelle

I just completed this quest, level 19 druid newbie. This is what I did (much info I learned were from other posts on this board):
1. Went to Queynos North, I gave Moodoro 2 gold (didn't hail, indifferent faction) he gave me the book container. He is at the far right past the entrance of queynos in and around a tavern, a purple guy.
2. Gave Moodoro 4 gold until he gave me the joker card which I gave back to him, got one page (took like 10 plat)
3. Went to Highpass hold, on like the second bridge if you are walking through the zone to the karana's, jump off into the pond, you'll see a hole underwater under the bridge. Go in and walk around, under the little tent with barrels is where Dyllin loads. Literally right under the little overhang. I just went back here to camp every night and before I'd go to school I'd log on just to check. Got home one day and he was just there.
4. Killin' Dyllin: There is a SWEET pathing error: When he spawned I harmonied the wandering smugglers and the few visible ones. Then I snared him from standing back against the wall opposite the overhang. He walked to me, but his path makes him walk way over to a side tunnel and then back to you. So this whole time I nuked. Then as he rounded his corner and came back I walked to where he spawns and he had to go back down his path, not straight to me. Seriously, you can just move back and forth from the overhang to the wall and make him go back and forth along this weird path in the room. He walks close to the entrance to the tunnel with the Rogue trainer smugglers, but not close enough to **** them off.
5. Put the 2 pages into the book and combined, woo!
Good luck in finding him, I didn't bother with camping, just kept checking back over like a week at start and end of the day. Try out the pathing error (unless you are too high level to care). like 6 nukes or so killed him, and I took basically nothing

I completed this quest last night (Sunday, 5/20/01). I was on my way from Lavastorm to Qeynos to start this quest, and I was passing through High Pass, and I figured let me check out Dylinn. I had a friend show me the way there, and I was given the camp from a high level Druid (Thanks Kinloo!!!). After about 3 hours of waiting, Dylinn finally spawned... He conned Yellow to me (15th lvl Druid). I was very excited. Casted Snare, resisted, casted Root, resisted. He started whacking me, and I him. I died when the red guy came back (luckily I was bound in the entrance to High Hold). Mem'ed SOW, and Ignite, and ran back. Two other people that were waiting with me were now corpses. They did try to help me out though, so thanks to them as well.
When I got back, that high lvl Druid was waiting, and Dylinn was standing right behind the big red guy...
This time, I decided to go with my original plan, and I harmonized the blue guy, while the other Druid harmonized the red guy. When both stuck, I rooted (Worked this time), and started whacking/igniting away. I was getting my butt kicked, but thankfully Kinloo came in with a quick heal, and a quick blast, and it was over. VICTORY!!!
After that, ran to Qeynos, spent about 1 1/2 hours looking for the Crow's nest, and when I found it I KICKED MYSELF!!! For any who don't know, it's pretty much right at the entrance from Qeynos Hills (just go in, and go to the right).
So, when I conned him, he was dubious. I was kinda nervous about giving up my hard earned money, but I figured you only live once, right? (LOL!!!!)
Handed him the 2gp, and viola! I got the book. Started handing him 4gp at a time, and in 3 cards, drew the Jester, and BAM! Now I have the Testament.
Thanks for the help all!!!

Well, yesterday (Sunday 5/20/01) I did it... I was on my way from Lavastorm to Qeynos to start the quest with Moodoo, but then as I was passing High Pass, I figured let me just take a look. A friend of mine showed me where Dylinn spawns, and I was handed the camp by a high level Druid who was finally completing the quest. After about 2 hours of waiting

I did this quest in about 45 minutes, but I had the luck of the Irish on my side.
I got a Jester card on my 5th attempt with Moodoro, ported over to East Karana and hoofed it to High Pass. Got even more lucky as I surfaced in Smugglers Cove to find Dyllin standing by the water with no smugglers in site. One root, and 3 nukes later, i'm combining the two pages and now have a shiney new Testament.

Last night I camped Dylin for his page. I was playing my main 39th level ranger just to be on the safe side. I had my cleric camped up there as well. I waited 3 hours and he popped. Cool, I snared him he started to run, then I proceeded to cut him down. After he fell I camped quick after looking around to make sure no one else was nearby to loot it. I logged on my cleric and looted the page! SWEET! Another reason I used my alt to drop him was my alt really has no reason to travel to quynos, so if hes kos no big deal. (Its wierd I conned the smugglers with my ranger, I was warmly to them. I conned them after killing Dylin, I was still warmly! hehe) Around this time someone shouting if anyone was camping Dylin, I said I was and I just killed him. He said that was odd, he killed him 4 hours ago. Really I said, I thought he was on a 6 to 7 hour cycle... guess not. Anyways I started running to Quynos, a long journey for a dwarven cleric compared to a ranger with SoW. But I got there, spent all my cash in the bank, around 15pp but didn't get the card. Sold all the words and junky magical stuff I had laying around or cash, 10pp later no card. I went up to everfrost killed stuff to make some cash, came back a few hours later with 20pp in pocket, he finally forked over the card after another 10pp. I combined it all and I now have a nice shiney new book.... too bad its Secondary only It would have looked very nice next to my Charred Guardian shield.

After reading all of the posts here, I decided to give this quest a try. I had been hunting down in Kunark, so I tp'd over to tox and took the boat from Erudin to Qeynos, which seemed faster than if I would have ran from the NK druid ring down to Qeynos. Anyhow, I didn't bother talking to any of the Erudites OMW to Qeynos. I was a bit worried about faction, so I chose to keep camo up all the way from the tox druid ring to the docks...and then from the Qeynos docks up to the NW corner of N Qeynos. Targeted Moodoro while I was still invis and then went outside and north of the pond (sewer entrance) and dropped invis to see what he con'd to me. Dubiously, so I put camo up again..went back to Moodoro and just tried giving him 2gp as several others here had suggested. It worked; he gives the book container. Giving him 4gp gets you a random card; I got lucky and got the jester on my 9th try. Returned the jester card to Moodoro for pg 34. Tp'd to NK and ran over to Highpass..located Starshine and dispatched him very easily at lvl 23. He, of course, gave pg 30 and a rolled up note. I don't know if this next part matters or not, but I placed pg 30 in the left slot of the testament book container and pg 34 in the right-hand side slot...clicked combine and WOOT =) Got the Testament of Vanear. I'm probly KOS in Qeynos now as the guards that I con'd were apprehensive (at least in north Qeynos), but I think it's worth it for this item. Just wanted to confirm the fact that the Erudin part of this quest is just fluff and can be skipped entirely with no effect on the quest. Also, whoever gave the advice to wait for the red con smuggler to head back to the water before ya try and kill Starshine is exactly right. I didn't temp fate and let that smuggler be around to see his buddy go down, but I could see that if ya can't take Starshine down in 2 minutes or less...better get a group together or wait until ya can.

There is one thing that I would like to clarify, that I don't think was made clear before. Everybody says to root Dyllin, and yes you should. But what I didn't know is that he runs right away, no questions asked. I thought he would run if you way outleveled him or at the end of the fight when he was dying, but he went right after root broke to get help. I was 19, so I didn't outlevel him too bad, and I only got off one spell before root broke, so he wasn't dying. I don't know if this will change anyones strategy, but let me reinforce what has been said...root!
Side note: The book looks closed in your hand.
Side-side note: I logged in before bed to check on Dyllin, he's there, nobody else around. I killed him, then a tree says "Hi!" I politely responded, then asked if he was camping the page. He said he was, so I told him that he would have to wait a LONG time cuz I just killed him. He cussed up and down because he was afk, but in tree form, while I killed Dyllin. He had been camping for hours, but stepped away at the wrong time. I didn't know he was there (on account of tree form) until AFTER I got the page. Sorry! :)

Some additionals hints from a 19th level Druid, harmony the 3 smugglers, then wait until the smuggler that cons red moves to the left of Starshine and into the corridor, this will give you about 2 1/2 minutes of fighting time before he returns. If the conned red smuggler goes to the right of Starshine, he will return in about one minute.
I hit him for 288 points of damage plus a Stinging Swarm, for maybe another 50 points. He returned 167 points, plus a stun, and resisted once Grasping Roots.
Total fight time 2 1/2 minutes - OOM and at 50% health by the end.

First off, I was wondering if the book is one that looks like its open and your looking at it. Or if its the book that is closed in your hand facing the ground. I know the stats are really good but I still don't like my characters looking stupid.

After finding out about the Combine TP Room (TD, it's awesome) I took up exploring a little and ended up in Halas (no necros come this way, so there were a LOT of bonechips to buy -=P) anyway....messed around in BB...so I bound there and had to take the long way back....this quest was so much easier than I ever thought it would be....
Hit Moodoro
Give him the 2gp for the book, and play the game..shouldn't take too long to get the Joker (and for the final prize, it's 1000% worth it!)
So ya got the book, and one page...
Head to HH, and to the Underwater passage to the Smuggler area (just below the bridge by Tiger's Den..
I think cuz ppl figure this is sort of a waste of time to wait 8 hours, not as many ppl are camping him (I always thought he would be camped 24 hours -=P so I never tried this before)..I got there and he wasn't under the tent..and I was ready to leave, and wamm...he pops...(about 3pm CST..so someone must have got him late last night, unless his spawn rate isn't that long).
I defeated him at level 16! (Druid)
What ya gotta do is hang around the tree across from him (I was hiding, didn't want to take chances)..as a Druid, I buffed up just as the patrolling Smuggler stopped along the wall for his rest (about 15-20 seconds, I think)...totally buffed (Skin like Rock, FireFist, Strength of Earth, and Thistlecoat)...
Dyllin didn't aggro against me (as I guess I don't mess with the smugglers...let's see how they like me walking thru with the book -=P), so I could stand next to ready to fight as soon as I was ready....
He Conned black(white) to me, so he's level 16..
Fights like a Rogue of that level too (from bandit experience) except with a little added punch, probably from the stress of getting killed twice a day -=P
Root is a must!! You have to either be able to make that final blast before he starts walking (yeah, he chickens out at the last moment...like most rogues...) For me, fighting and blasting (I had on a 7pt Damage shield even!) I couldn't kill him fast enough not to attract a rogue, luckily the Red didn't come, I think it was from the lookout point above....so, at that last moment, of "I'm not gunna make it!!" and "I'm doing it! I'm doing it!! So close!!"...I was being beaten on by a blue smuggler while dealing those final hits to Dyllin...it's true what they say about the feeling of Victory, it is SWEEET!!!! Whole body tingling with excitement, I killed him (at <1 bubble of life and losing), fumbled for the loot (grabbed the letter first! ack!) ...got both, yelled (you will too! -=P), and I slowly walked off...delirious from excitement...actually tried pulling off a camou to run out of there (yeah, with a smuggler on my back)...well, didn't make it...but I had the loot so I waited to load..and BAMM!! I got my book!! You can too! it's so easy!
WARNING: AFTER COMBINING PAGES, YOU WILL JUMP UP AND TELL EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE ABOUT IT, REGARDLESS OF THEM KNOWING WHAT THE HECK YER TALKING ABOUT.

Just finished this and there was one ahead of me so I hung around for spawn and moral support and made note of the time....so I could come back in 8 hours as it is said elsewhere in this port. Well I got back 7 hours and 15 minutes later and there he was just waiting for me....so spawn times mentioned below must be off.

Give Moodoro 2gp for the book (container)
Give Moodoro 4gp for a card {King, Queen, Beggar, Knight, Jester} until you recieve the Jester card
Give Moodoro the Jester for page 34
Kill Dyllin for page 30
Combine the pages in the book
Moodoro Finham, lvl 13 hp 330, loc: Qeynos North, Crows
- you don't have to talk to him
- you must have an open slot in your main inventory for the book
- if you feel the need to raise faction (Crimson Hands): kill Elial, 7th lvl Necro, in Toxx Forest (Kerra Isle), by the bridge, by a little hut and a dog, about 10 times
Dyllin Starsine, lvl 12-16 hp 300-350, loc: Highpass Hold, Secret Smuggler's Camp
- must go through underwater tunnel at loc +10, +325, +45
- spawns exactly 8 hours after last death
- spawns under the tarp near the kiln and forge
- there are smugglers GUARDING all over, but only TWO that WANDER by
- - a Smuggler, lvl 16-18
- - a Smuggler, lvl 45-50, pierces for quad 117, and backstabs for 369
- - - wait until he comes down from lookout point and wanders out of site toward the water
- - - he'll be gone for 2 minutes
- - - there are posts of people taking in lvl 50+ toons and having to run away from this guy
- There is a small passageway to the left of the tent where Dyllin stands which leads to an "escape" (if you have levitate, otherwise it's more of a lookout or suicide) cliff that faces Highhold Keep
Ancillary Notes
- there is a post claiming you can simply return whatever card Moodoro gives you, thereby saving you some cash (assuming you don't get the Jester on the first try). this did not work for me.
- do yourself, and others, a favor...hotkey a polite camping message (i.e.: camping Dyllin; msg me if you'd like a tell when i leave) when camping Dyllin. He's a popular camp. People will be dropping by all the time...all the time, :). Display your message often. If there are other people waiting after you...include the waiting list, :)
- when i arrived to camp Dyllin, there were two toons ahead of me. the first was killed by the lvl 50 smuggler and (unfortunately) was not bound in the camp. the second guy in line was worried that Dyllin would despawn after 10 minutes, and took the kill just before 10 minutes passed. it would be nice to get some first hand info on this.
- if some of the above notes look like a direct copy of another post...it probably is, :). ancillary notes asside, these are the notes i made for myself before starting the quest. good luck

Just got my testament, and am still feeling that overwealming sense of victory. I was on the way to HP anyway and had already gotten page 34 and the testament. I aided a newbie tring to cross from Qeynos to Freeport. Got him to wait by the guards and went to check and see if Starsine was up. Lo and behold, there he was and there was no one camping him. Waited for the red smuggler to get out of sight on the underwater entrance side. Two Roots, an Affliction, and 3 Spirt Strikes later (not taking any chances), I was looting page 30 and was able to walk out of the smuggler area without anyone else jumping in on me.
Maybe the Gods smiled upon for aiding a newbie...

What is the sealed letter for? I watched the Muffin Pano Quest but nothing mentioned about the sealed letter.

It's a bittersweet story when I killed Dyllin at 24. I went there, camped him for an hour, he spawned. I tried to kill him, but that red smuggler backstabbed me. Okay, I bound close, so I mem my DD and come back for it. A pala came out of nowhere and stole my kill. WTF!
I eventually got killed by the same smuggler again. Ended up lost a level and with bad faction to corrupted guards...
One night later I came back, asked about the spawn, someone said it was just killed. I went to sleep then woke up at 4am (exactly 7 hours later), he was right there for me! =)
Okay one thing to note is: try to do the queynos part first, because a level 60 bad guard walks around The Crow often. You may be killed by him before you got the book and the first page.
