You say, 'Hail, Acomar Lothwol'

Acomar Lothwol says 'It is good to see you, ______. As a teacher, my job is to share the knowledge of all things mystical with eager students. I sense you have obtained the basics of planar knowledge, you are now ready to begin your first lesson in the ways of magical ability. Are you [willing to learn] what life has to offer?'

You say 'I am willing to learn.'

Acomar Lothwol says, 'The use of magic can be a taxing ordeal on the body, and quite often may leave you in a weakened state. Fortunately, I happen to know of a rather rejuvenating meal that will grant new power to your condition. If you are not familiar with the recipe for [Hobgoblin Surprise], I can tell you. What you must do is bring me some as well as your Planar Traveler's Manual. I hope you won't be long, for I am beginning to get quite hungry.'

You say, 'What hobgoblin surprise?

Acomar Lothwol says, "Don't be put off by the name, it's actually quite tasty. To make Hobgoblin Surprise, get a pie tin, some bread, add some hobgoblin meat and brown gravy. Cook it in the oven and enjoy the results. Mmm mmm, it waters my mouth just thinking about it.'

Hobgoblin Surprise is made by a skilled baker.

Hand in the Hobgoblin Surprise and your Planar Traveler's Manual to Acomar (note: If you're below 20th level he will eat the items).


Acomar Lothwol says 'How delicious! You have done well here, I can't remember how long it's been since I've tasted a meal so fine. Take this book, it will certainly help you in your use of the magical arts. When you are ready, Cadelid Etord will give you your next lesson, so be sure to speak to him. Do not lose your book or else he may not appreciate you coming to class unprepared.'

Anyone know what the trivial is on Hobgoblin surprise?

Shoot, hit that button too soon :)

I've tried at level 190 baking and it's not trivial yet and I failed miserably.

Is the actual baked item tradable or do you need to get your skill up...if so, what skill level is required.
LOC OF THIS GUY

this guy is located at pos 677 pos 812 neg 124
fixed... sort of

They've fixed the rewards now, but there seems to be a new problem in that Cadelid Etord doesn't recognize the beginner magic manual and won't prompt you for the next portion of the quest.

Hobgoblin Meat drops off of the Hobgoblins in the Plane of Nightmares.

It seems to be a common-uncommon drop - after a day spent fighting them, our group had perhaps 18 or so. They are not edible (to my knowledge) and weigh 1.0 (and they DO stack, hehe).

Hobgoblins are found along the canyon walls and down near the river in PoN, as well as in an underwater tunnel where there are TONS of them (so I've heard) - they may be found elsewhere, but there are PLENTY in this area. Zone in, put the zonewall on your left, run past the treants, and you'll see the canyon. With SoW and Lev (or SoE), you can run across the midpoint of the canyon down to the far shore where it dips down to meet the water - BEWARE! There are many beasties about, they all See-Invis, and there is NO WAY BACK that I have yet found (short of a port of some kind).

The meat is also tradeable. =)

Do you get the Planar Traveler's Manual Back? While I'd not care about the stats on that the faction modifier and the hints you have to have it for other quests would be good.

So do I get it back or am I going to be doing the needles quest twice?

You're going to have to do the starting quest again, the Planar Traveler's Manual is NOT returned when you hand it in on the beginner's combat/stealth/magic quest.

From what I've heard, the reward for this quest is wrong. You should get (from how the text reads) the Beginner Magic Manual, where as for the other quest, he talks about stealth, thus you should get the Beginner Stealth Manual for that instead. Fubar!

You are correct, the rewards on the website are reversed.

(edited) It was actually not Allakhazam's mistake, the rewards were in fact listed according to EQ's actual reward. This has since been fixed in a patch several weeks ago, and the quests are returning the correct books.
