Find Aleixs Dubbani at /loc +894, +638, -156.25, in the building west of the Kaladim stone in Plane of Knowledge.

Alexis Dubbani says, 'Why hello there, ____. I'm so glad you could take the time to see my exhibit. I am a collector of [books], and I seek many more volumes of strange and wonderful texts. Perhaps I could hire your services to help me find some more?'

You say, 'books'

Alexis Dubbani says, 'I am still looking for the following. Please locate a Black Tome with Silver Runes, Tome of the Eternal, Codex of the Warrior, and a Book of Inspiration. Please store them inside a Collector's Box you can get from [Merri] for safekeeping. After you find all the books, be sure to close the box and return it to me. I appreciate your help.'

You say, 'merri'

Alexis Dubbani says, 'Curator Merri is the founder of the museum in the Selia district of New Tanaan. She is a true visionary and a wonderful person as well. It is her dream to turn life's love into something truly grand. She also carries with her the Collector's Boxes. If you need one, be sure to ask her for it.'

You say, 'Hail, Curator Merri'

Curator Merri beams a smile as you approach. 'Welcome ____. This building will be the site of New Tanaan's greatest museum ever. I realize it looks a bit empty now, but just imagine how beautiful it will look after we fill it with rare and exotic treasures from all over. It's a very exciting time, no? Of course, we still need to obtain a few more [artifacts].'

You say, 'artifacts'

Curator Merri says, 'Each of the people you see working here has their own exhibit to build and maintain. If you speak to them, they can tell you about which items they are looking for to add to their collection. Any items you collect will need to be placed inside one of my storage containers. If you [need a Collector's Box] at any time, just ask me. Also know I could use some help in retrieving some [special items] for my own exhibit.'

You say, 'need a collector's box'

Curator Merri says, 'Here you go, good luck on your hunt.'

You receive a Collector's Box.

  • Combine the 4 books in the Collector's Box. Black Tome with Silver Runes, Tome of the Eternal, Codex of the Warrior, and a Book of Inspiration.

    You have fashioned the items together to create something new: Collection of Books.

    Alexis Dubbani says, 'These volumes will add to my collection greatly! You are too kind to have done this task for me, please accept this gift with my thanks.'

    To rate this quest as poor is for someone who has no need of questing for items on their own. As a True hearted loner of EQ..I can say for one that this quest is too easy and that the reward is fabulous for such a short quest. To really find the book, hunt the dervishes near the Ice Giant Fort right below the GD zone. I killed three and two of them dropped this book. Happy hunting friends
    Found Codex of the Warrior
    # Jan 25 2003 at 10:24 AM Rating: Default
    I was hunting in EW and i killed a snow dervish, dropped Codex of the Warrior, not nodrop. Had no idea what it was for and noone in the zone nor the bazaar channel had any idea. Searched quests on this sight for about 10 minutes and found this quest. The dervish was light blue to me at level 49. I'm assuming this is a rare drop because I killed lots of them after they aggro'ed on me and most of the time nothing dropped.

    Hope this helps you get your fine antique locket!

    seems to be a fairly common drop off Snow and Blizzard Dervish's in Eastern Wastes. Hope this helps.

    The Black Tome with Silver Runes is the COMMON drop off the froglok tactician (king's room, lower guk). So for a high level player who could hunt in either area with equal ease, the tactician is your better bet, since he is far more likely to drop the Tome than Najena is.

    #REDACTED, Posted: Oct 25 2002 at 12:29 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Anyone know a) what the reward is? and b) is it worthwhile?

    # Oct 25 2002 at 1:17 PM Rating: Default
    Not sure yet, I'm trying to do it, but so far just 3 Robes in the 2 days camping Najena let alone the other books. Finally camped out on table in her room, log on every 20min when able and cast Upheaval to clear room :)

    Well if you are pre lvl 50 and doing this then the reward is worth your time. If not then I would not suggest doing it unless you just want to as the Focus only affects lvl 44 and lower Pet Summoning Spells.

    So that would mean that the only ones that can take advantave of the focus are. The following is a list of the classes that get pets and what lvl they get them at. I didnt include Wizards Fammiliars (Note they are not pets. The only reason that Encanters Animiations are included is cause they can cause DMG along with the rest of the main pet classes.

    ENC (1)- NEC (1)- MAG (1)- BST (9)- SK (9)- SHM (34).

    Actually the necro and sk pets are summoned with a different focus effect...Reanimation Efficiency.

    This is only good for the other pet classes.
    Finally!

    I've got a Black Tome with Silver Runes that I used to carry, and haven't been able to sell. Now maybe I'll be able to unload it!

    Btw, I carry a Stein of Moggok (that I got by doing the quest with my Enchanter alt, and a friend helping) now, instead of the Tome. :)
