You say 'Hail Sten Harnak'

Sten Harnak says 'Greetings to you Isola. I am Sten Harnak Virtuoso of Freeport. I have lived in Freeport and studied the art of songweaving here for all of my days. I am always eager to see new faces here in our concert hall. If you are here for a performance I am afraid it does not start till a bit later but if you are a young bard in training then I might have some [work] for you.'

You say, 'What work'

Sten Harnak says 'Well I have numerous concerts here that I must prepare for so I always must be sure that I have the best possible support as far as my fellow bards go. I am always seeking new young talent to sing in our concerts. If you are a bard I have made tasks for you to complete to see if you are a worthy songweaver. These tasks will test your determination and battle skills. I would only allow one that has completed all of my [specific tests] to sing in my concert hall.'

You say, 'What specific tests?'

Sten Harnak says 'If you are ready to begin your training I will assign you a number of tests. These tests will enable you to outfit yourself with a suit of armor only worn by the most respected musicians of Freeport. First, I will present you with a Songweavers Assembly Kit. In this kit you will combine certain [recipes] that will be magically formed into an armor material. Each one of these materials will need to be combined in a forge with the appropriate mold to make your armor piece.'

You say, 'What recipes'

Sten Harnak says 'I have the material recipes available for Songweavers Platemail [Helms], [Bracers], [Armguards], [Boots], [Greaves], [Gauntlets] and [Breastplates]. When you are ready to craft a specific piece simply tell me what armor piece you [want] to craft. For example if you would wish to craft a helm tell me �I want to craft a helm�. Also please keep in mind that the components necessary for crafting your breastplate material are the most difficult to collect so you might want to collect them last.'

You say, 'I want to craft a breastplate'

Sten Harnak says 'The right breastplate will defend you from most lifethreating attacks that you may endure while in training. With that said I am very happy to see that you are already set to collect your breastplate material componenets. To create your breastplate material you will need to combine 5 Bricks of Crude Iron Ore, 1 Coyote Skull, 1 Darkweed Snake Bile, 1 Enlarged Fire Beetle Leg, 1 Vial of Smoke and 1 Young Plains Cat Backbone in your assembly kit. Once you have created the proper material take it to a forge along with this mold to fashion your very own Songweavers Platemail Breastplate. Please return to me after you have completed your final armor piece because I have one more [important task] for you.'

Thanks for the reply on the Vial of Smoke. I did find one off a Willowisp after a dozen kills now I presume the Darkweed Snake Bile drops off Darkweed Snakes, but I've killed at least two dozen and so far no drops :( Will try again tonight

Giant rattlesnakes in NRO and EC drop what is called 'snake bile', which works in the combine (is a NO DROP item though). Not a common drop -- was the last item on my list when I looted it. Plain cat backbones are common, as are coyote skulls.

Can also purchase enlarged fire beetle legs from vendors if they have them in stock -- they look like aviak talons in the inventory.

I've been hunting pretty much just snakes from 10-11 1/5, and I've yet to see a bile drop or meet someone who has. It's either broken or really rare. Must have killed around two dozen myself, give or take, so far. The rest of the quests are great though.

I'm starting to think this quest is bugged, I've killed many many Darkweed Snakes and no bile has dropped, no one knows anything about it either :p I agree the armor is pretty nice, I especially like the color :)

I finish the whole armor quest so nothing bugged. The bile dorp from giant rattlesneak in the desert part.
Good luck all.

An happy Bard ;-)

There were 4 of us looking for the Darkweed bile last night (5/10/02) for over 2 hours. We killed every snake in WC and EC. Never found one. Petitioned for help...GM just said it was probably rare drop. Will try in the desert....

I am playing a Bard, and though I wouldn't call myself a fan a Wagnerian Opera, I was played in the Pit Orchestra for Tristan and Isolde at the University of Chicago...paid pretty well too.

The Bard is a great class for Rolepaying though, if one is of quick wit and agile mind.
