Talk to Hekzin G`Zule in the rogue guild. He will say he is working on some new type of armor.

You say, 'Hail, Hekzin G`Zule'

Hekzin G`Zule says 'How's it going, scrub? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you appear to be a rogue. If you're a [new rogue], it's my job to test your skill. If you are not, then by speaking with me, I see you show interest in [joining this house of rogues].'

You say, 'I am interested in joining this house of rogues'

Hekzin G`Zule says 'We of the Ebon Mask must first be sure you are skilled with a blade. At the same time, we are attempting to create a new type of armor for our rogues. So it is the test of each young rogue to take this bag into Nektulos and fill it with three moss snake skins and three snake fangs, then combine them. We get the bag and you earn a little respect as well as the [Dark Shield of Ebon].'

You receive an Empty Bag in which you need to combine three snake scales and three snake fangs. This produces a Bag of Snake Parts. Give this to Hekzin.

Hekzin G`Zule says 'Fine work for a scrub. Maybe one day you will be able to test this new snakescale armor out. For the moment you shall take the [Dark Shield of Ebon] if you do not own one already.'

Your faction standing with Ebon Mask got better.
Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got worse.
Your faction standing with Wolves of the North got worse.
Your faction standing with Guardians of the Vale got worse.
Your faction standing with Carson McCabe got worse.
You gain experience!!
You receive 9 silver from Hekzin G`Zule.

You may also receive minor items (usually one or more rations or iron rations). Occasionally you will receive the Dark Shield of Ebon.

other snake skin armor?
# May 05 2001 at 11:08 PM Rating: Decent
I am unsure of my idea here, and I make it out to be nothing more than an idea. My newbie shaman was in feerroot (sp?) and a high level guy gave me a snakeskin jerkin (about 9 ac, +5 sv poison, I know this drops off a mob but maybe you can get simialr snake skin armor from this quest?
Just my 2cp
Quest broken?

I've turned in at least three different bags with everything the guy wanted, and never got any message other than "It's good that you gave me this so that I didn't have to take it from you." or something like that.

I've tried having a fang/scale in each slot of the bag, I've tried having them stacked, I've tried Combining them... Nada. Is the quest broken on Cazic or something?

I had the exact same problem last night. I was a level 5 de enchanter and tried every single combo possible. All that happened is he would say "It's good that you gave me this so that I didn't have to take it from you." and he gave me nothing in return. No exp, no items, no gold... no luck. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it.

Try not stacking the skins and teeth. It should work then.

Not broken
# Apr 05 2001 at 12:20 PM Rating: Good
I did this quest about 10 min. ago, so no, it's not broken.

Only problem I have with this quest is the amount of negative faction you get, but every Ebon Hand quest is like that. Nice shield for a level one none the less, and looks pretty nice.
Where are Moss Snake Skins!?
# Mar 04 2001 at 2:06 AM Rating: Good
I've killed dozens of moss snakes only to find a bunch of scales. Are these scales considered skins? I've got plenty of fangs, I just need a few skins! Help me... :(
Help

Am I just supposed to walk up and hail him because every time I do, he starts talking about the guild. He hasn't mentioned anything about making armor.
DO THIS QUEST!
# Feb 16 2001 at 12:23 PM Rating: Good
Do this quest from lvl1 to 6 ....you can gain 5 lvls in an hour....awesome exp. oh yeah, and sell the shield upstairs from the guy that gives it to you...might as well make a little cash.
No go for SK?
# Jan 30 2001 at 12:29 PM Rating: Default
3rd lvl SK. I hailed him repeatedly and he just babbled at me about joining the rogues guild. All the other quests in the hall seemed to work, just not this one. Any ideas?
RE: No go for SK?
# Mar 28 2001 at 11:52 AM Rating: Good
say I am joining this house of rogues -- he will give you the bag and then you fill it make sure you only put one thing in each slot do not stack them... and combie than give it back to him :)
Boring

it was kinda boring to spend time killin lvl 1 creatures for a shield u can by for like a few gold at the merchant in neriak
Courteous
# Oct 12 2000 at 3:11 PM Rating: Decent
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.
Snakescale Armor?

After you complete this quest the guy says something along the lines of the items furthering the development of Snakescale armor. Has ANYONE seen or heard anything else about this?
Decent Experience

This quest provides decent xp for newbies looking for a way to do something better than amilessly roam around the newbie log. The Moss snake skins they refer to are snake scales. Moss snake skins dont exist. Otherwise worth doing if not to just get a container or to sell the shield.
Awesome XP
# Dec 19 2000 at 12:39 AM Rating: Excellent
I have never found an easier way to get xp at low lvls. At lvl four this quest still returns a bub of xp. The quickest way for a Dark Elf to get through lvls 1-4 is to just do this quest.
Decent Newbie Gear
# Aug 13 2000 at 6:06 PM Rating: Good
This is some pretty Decent newbie gear. When you finally get a better sheild, you can also wear this on your back, or vice versa. Also, check out the Death of Lyda quest, which provides an equally useful weapon to pair with this sheild.

These two quests are some of the most useful newbie quests in the game.

I have casters and this quest is available for them. It is one, of the few quests, which exists for newbies casters in Neriak.

This quest is a really nice way to the early levels quickly, not to mention that the shield itself sells for decent coin for levels 1-6. I saved up all the scales and fangs up until level 5, turned them all in and boom, I was level 6 and then some.
Dark Shield of Ebon

Dark shield is ALWAYS the reward if you dont have one. The real reward though is the experiance. Three times doing this quest will level you from 2-3 very quickly.
o yor back?
# Dec 11 2000 at 8:05 PM Rating: Default
I am a shadow knight and I did this quest several times for the experience and the shield once I started not getting squat for EXP I decided to use the shield and it can be used as a shield,(duhh), and it CAN go on your back instead of a cape, or my friends personal favorite he gives it to his pet which helps him AC wise or just for good looks. (;
Anyhow thats my 2 cents on the subject.
Hail Innoruuk!
did not work for me
# Dec 31 2000 at 8:16 AM Rating: Default
i am a necro and i tried this quest. i combined the 3 moss snake skins and 3 teeth, and got a message saying they did not combine in these quantities to make anything. i then tried to turn in the bag without combining them, and he told me "better for you to give than for me to take". is there something that i am just goofing up here? if anyone know what i might be doing wrong pls post it. thanks
RE: did not work for me

friend, the items cannot be stacked! make SURE you do NOT stack the items. hold the Control button on the keyboard and left click to pick up ONE of a stack until you have three seperate snake skins and three seperate snake fangs. NOW hit the combine button and you should get a bag labeled something along the lines of "Snake Bag' or something like that. now you give it to the DE rogue and check to make sure it's the right one by hailing before you trade. Good luck!
