    War Historian Kobl may be found in the Warriors Guild at -596, -237.

    You say, 'Hail War Historian Kobl'

    War Historian Kobl says, 'You have come to learn, have you not? I have knowledge of importance to young warriors of the legion. Or perhaps you are a scribe seeking my [unique writing materials]!'

    You say, 'What unique writing materials?'

    War Historian Kobl says, 'You must be a scribe of sorts? Always glad to assist a talented youth. I make two things unique to Cabilis and important to any future scribe. I can create [blood ink] and [illweed parchment].'

    You say, 'What blood ink?'

    War Historian Kobl says, 'If blood ink is what you seek, only I can provide it. I use a unique blend prepared by my secret method. I can supply you with a vial of blood ink, but first you must fetch me four ingredients. I need globules of blood from certain creatures. I need globules from the carnivorous plants, leeches, and mosquitoes. I also need globules from the blood pit of the Tower of Death. Bring me these and be quick, or the blood will disintegrate.'

    You say, 'What illweed parchment?'

    War Historian Kobl says, 'If you wish to obtain a page of my illweed parchment, you only have to perform a simple task. Bring me four illweed reeds from the Lake of Ill Omen. You may find that the only way one can find illweed is to go fishing.'

    You can find these fish in the Lake of Ill Omen. Pack up your fishing pole and some bait.

    You offered 4 Illweed to War Historian Kobl.

    War Historian Kobl says, 'That was easy enough. Here then is your page of illweed parchment. Don't waste it with silly limericks. Create a masterpiece.'

    Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis could not possibly get any better. (Anyone not maxed out out on this faction, report how many points of faction this is please)
    Your faction standing with Cabilis Residents could not possibly get any better. (Anyone not maxed out out on this faction, report how many points of faction this is please)
    Your faction standing with Scaled Mystics could not possibly get any better. (Anyone not maxed out out on this faction, report how many points of faction this is please)
    Your faction standing with Crusaders of Greenmist could not possibly get any better. (Anyone not maxed out out on this faction, report how many points of faction this is please)
    Your faction standing with Swift Tails has been adjusted by 2.

    You complete the trade with War Historian Kobl.

    I haven't been able to fish Illweed out as of my last attempt a month or so ago, but I did find a use for the Illweed Parchment after talking to a DE merchant in Overthere. I posted the text here:

    What's it for?

    What is this stuff for? What is the parchment and ink for???

    Ok, Do not confuse the Water reeds that you get with Foraging with Illweed reed. They are COMPLETELY different. as far as I can tell the quest does not work right now. as with a 150 skill in fishing I was unable to find anything beyond Bloodfin Trout and the normal rusty daggers/sandals. You cannot forage Illweed Reed.
    What is the benifit of this quest?
    # Sep 14 2001 at 10:53 PM Rating: Default
    I do'nt understand the benifit of this quest. Is it good xp? faction? or does the item have some kind of worth or value?
    RE: What is the benifit of this quest?
    # Nov 18 2001 at 11:38 PM Rating: Default
    And why is it ranked "Good"? I see nothing besides really faction that could make it that good of a quest. Seems kinda wierd.
    water reed
    # Jul 18 2001 at 2:13 AM Rating: Default
    tried four foraged waterreed from LOIO
    did not work, seems it really is illweed whatever that is :)
    Why keep fishing?
    # Jun 19 2001 at 12:41 PM Rating: Default
    at some point in time do you stop fishing hehe
    Water reed?
    # Jun 06 2001 at 11:34 AM Rating: Default
    I get water reed when foraging, never bothered to Identify it, is it the right stuff, if so it is relatively common
    Reeds and Clay
    # May 09 2001 at 12:56 AM Rating: Default
    Wet Clay Forages in Overthere.
    I regularly Forage IllWeed Reeds in Lake of Ill Omen.

    Yesterday I foraged one with my ranger. Put down the poles, and get to foraging.

    # Jul 14 2000 at 8:46 AM Rating: Decent
    I have used over 200 bait as of Jul 13 and no Illweed reeds or wet clay are able to be fished anymore for some reason
    RE: Illweed can't be fished anymore it seems
