At the end of the previous quest, Tabben Bromal asked you to let him know when you were ready to write down the names of the next set of parts and gave you a Small Parts Container.




Crystalline Carapace: Spiders in Plane of Valor
Strands of Living Chain: Spiders in Plane of Torment
Dense Hammered Casing: Random Diakus in Drunder, Fortress of Zek (Plane of Tactics)
Fiery Power Source: Tower of Solusek Ro

Combine these four pieces along with the first clockwork talisman in the Small Parts Container to craft a Locked Parts Box. Give this back to Tabben:

Tabben Bromal says 'Please take the schematic to Elder Clinka. I'm afraid that I don't have the courage to spend any more time working on this for you. I wish I had a more adventurous spirit, but I don't. I like it here because it's peaceful. I don't need anyone changing that for you. Take care and be cautious on your way to see her. There's no telling who or what may be after you! When you show her the schematic, you may want to mention that most of that writing wasn't on there when we got it.'

Tabben Bromal says 'It's seems that words are beginning to write themselves onto that schematic of yours. Maybe she'll be able to understand them. I sure don't want to. Take care.'

You receive the second talisman and The Talisman Schematic, which is used to start the third talisman quest.

Could an admin please look at this page? The margins stretch infinitely to the right instead of wrapping to the next line, so it's distorted and difficult to read. Something seems to be wrong with the HTML.

The first and second quest parts got changed and seem to be a bit broken. Saying "I am ready to write down the names of the next set of parts." does lead to nothing as Tabben then just does reply something like "Ready for what?". The Small Parts Container does get handed out together with the Small Clockwork Talisman at the end of the first quest part. So for now the following text could be ignored or removed:

You say, 'I am ready to write down the names of the next set of parts.'

Tabben Bromal says 'Very well. You'll need to gather up a dense hammered casing for the outer shell; a crystalline carapace will act to protect the face of the device; and it requires a fiery power source to propel the rotor mechanism. The device is then attached around the neck, much like the one you are wearing. The only difference will be the strands of living chain that will keep it from slipping from around your neck. Place those four items and your talisman in that box and return it to me. We should be able to get this thing built for you without much fuss at all, should all things go well on your end of the task, of course.'

You receive a Small Parts Container.

this quest for the 2nd Talisman only took me 30min getting all 4 quest drops ..

the spider drops took a few kills each before i got the drops .. in torment had to kill a bunch of other things to get to spiders but at lvl 108 i just ran past everything and then when i got to first spider turned around and mass killed everything ..

Valor was about the 5th crystaline Arach..

Plane of Tactics .. <aka drunder fortress of zek> took maybe 6 Diaku kills ..

and last Tower or Ro .. literally as soon as i zoned in the 1st mob that agroed me dropped the quest piece..

so these quest items still drop and they drop for a lvl 108 .. im a BST btw..

Oh, and if you say anything except what is above in the outline, you won't get a response...I didn't anyway...

Was able to get the first talisman. Could not combine for the second talisman. Finally read the quest closer. Had to combine the four items with the 1st talisman. Received the 2nd talisman. Now on to the third...
level requirement.

I just completed this portion at level 52. Perhaps they removed level restrictions when they removed flagging from certain zones. I will now attempt the final version since I flagged myself to the elemental planes.

edit... ran a 48 sk through it. worked fine. but I did all the pop flagging too. I don't know min requirements to zone into the planes. but the 48 sk is fully elemental flagged.

You do not have to say anything to the NPC he gives you the new box when you hand in the old one. You cannot say anything at all to recieve the second container, and once destroyed you do have to start again to get to that point again.

I just completed all 3 quests on one of my bards a few minutes ago after first gathering all of the needed items. You do not get a box after you complete the first talisman. All I got was the talisman. When I told Tabben I am ready, he gave me the box for the second talisman.

I wonder if the people who thought the quest was broken failed to have the first talisman on them. /shrug

PLEASE, PLEASE AMEND THIS!!! as at 21st May, 2009 It still does not work and enough people have said it does not work.
You will say "/say I am ready" or even "/say I am ready to write down the names of the next set of parts"
and he will say "Ready for what"

Now I'm not sure if a 6-year old quest is still bugged or the information here on ALLA is just wrong but it would help folk, if the fact its bugged was right up in the main text.

Many thanks

that phrase does nothing. you do not recieve another box with that phrase. all the npc says is ready for what over and over. this write up needs fixed.
Rechargable?
# Mar 10 2006 at 11:09 AM Rating: Decent
Some people say that the 1st and 2nd talisman are rechargable with the item Quintessence of Knowledge - can anyone confirm if this is true please I would like to know for certain the truth to this matter - thank you .

Not rechargable. The quintessence of knowledge is the component needed to use the gate. Without quintessence of knowledge on you, no gate.

FYI I had an augmentation on the 'Small Clockwork Talisman', when I put it in the 'Small Parts Container' with the other items:
Crystalline Carapace
Strands of Living Chain
Dense Hammered Casing
Fiery Power Source
it combined fine and when I did the turn in to the gnome (Tabben Bromal) above the smith shop in POK I recieved the new items (Powered Clockwork Talisman and The Talisman Schematic) no problem. Obviously the Powered Clockwork Talisman didn't have the augmentation on it that the first one had.

Either I'm broken or the quest is...
# Mar 18 2004 at 5:30 AM Rating: Decent
I have been trying to finish the second neck since March 12th with no luck.

I finished the first and destroyed the parts kit since I didn't feel like carrying it around, and since I knew that Tabben would give me another once I said the trigger text to him.

Well of course he does nothing more than say: "Ready for what?" when I talk to him now, so I went and got another Tiny Bottle and Note to give to Jimlok in PoTranq and the second neck items will not combine in that kit. I suspect they won't combine because that kit is probably coded to only combine items for the first gate neck. No biggie, but it was worth a try.

My real hang-up is over the fact that Tabben won't respond to the trigger text indicated above. No matter what variation I use, his only response to me is, "Ready for what?"

I certainly hope I didn't ***** up by destroying the parts kit I received after completing the first gate neck, but it seems unreasonable to expect that we would carry around an essentially useless item for the duration of our attempts to complete a quest. I can understand for some things like the VT shard frame, or the BoT tower/Agnarr key ring, but this is kinda stupid.

/boggle

I /bugged it and petitioned, and the GM said thanks for submitting a /bug report, but there was nothing he/she could do for me (SHOCKING!!), and I would have to wait until the devs fixed the problem.

quest is not broken... you just have to keep the box he gives you... it is NOT the same box to make the second as it was for the first so you CAN NOT just get another one by hailing etc... yeah if you did the first neck, and then destroyed the box he gave you with that necklace.. you then need to start over from the beginning

my guess if he wont respond to hails at all is that you have the first neck, and he knows that.. may have to destroy the first one, and start fresh

You get the 2nd talisman container the same time you get the first talisman. Saying "I am ready" does nothing but tell you the ingredients for the second talisman. Been like that for a while.

I'd just start over, it'd probably be a lot faster than hoping for any decent fixes to come from Sony these days, with their hands full of EQ2 adding to the pure crap that was the bug-fixers and balance teams pre-EQ2.

ie: Took them about 9 months to analyze, ponder, review, discuss and mull over whether or not the monk epic 1.0 should get endurance on it (as well as rogue and warrior) since Berserkers get endurance and HP on theirs. 9 months of discussion only to get a no.

So, don't expect em to be fixing anything useful if they're taking 9 months on something simple like that.

I petitioned and was politely informed that they couldn't return the item. So I re-did the first one, no big deal.
RE: Either I'm broken or the quest is...
# Apr 03 2004 at 5:01 AM Rating: Default
Yes, you did mess up by destroying the parts kit. Don't say the trigger phrase till you're ready to do combine for 2nd talisman, or you have to carry around the box till you are ready.
RE: Either I'm broken or the quest is...
# Apr 06 2004 at 1:25 AM Rating: Default
Hmmm...

I didn't talk to Tabben again until after I had collected all of the items needed for the second necklace. When I gave him the combined kit for the first necklace he gave me back an empty kit along with the first necklace. I destroyed that kit and went on my way to get the other items.

Only after I had all the items for the second necklace did I return to him and say the trigger text. No joy, he won't talk to me.

Unfortunately, neither will SOE since my emails to CS go unanswered and my petitions in game just get deleted.

I guess I'll just do the first necklace all over again.

I"m not sure doing that will help....I'm also waiting for a response to the exact same problem on CT. I never told tabben I was ready until a week ago when I had all the parts for the second talisman. He replied "Ready for what?" 6 days of petition in que and no answer. THANKS SONY

Still busted
# Mar 11 2004 at 5:04 PM Rating: Default
Mine is still broken after the march 10th and 11th patches. The text above saying "I am ready to write...." only garners the response: Tabben Bromal says, "Ready for what?", to which I havent been able to find a solution.

I have the small parts kit from the first combine, this is what I'm trying to combine the second one in. Someone suggested his response was because the small parts kit is lore nodrop, and he cant give me another as is suggested by the quest text above.

However, I'm afraid to destroy the kit due to the post further down stating that they did so, and were not given a new one. They got a new tiny bottle and note, gave it to Jimlok, then gave the schematic to tabben for a new box only to have it be uncombinable. They said that they had to recollect the parts for the first one, and there is no further post as to wether that one was succesful. It'll be a cold day in hell before I collect them again. I /bugged and /petitioned so hopefully I'll will get a reply soon (ha ha).

As far as I am able to figure out this quest is currently broken. Combining the correct elements in the correct container yields - - - nothing. I did /bug already - - - LOL at this point I would be fine and dandy if they never fixed this - - as long as the servers get stable.

A few quests are bugged by this at this time. No mention of the issue by SOE yet.
Question
# Nov 06 2003 at 12:52 PM Rating: Default
with the new PoP zone changes, is this zone still one of the ones you have to go through the Planer progression to get too, or just be a required lvl?



Just wanting to know.....


Thank you
RE: Question
# Nov 08 2003 at 11:05 PM Rating: Default
You can get the 1st Clockwork Talisman without any flags, but you aren't going to get the piece out of SolRo without flags.
no recharge
# Oct 09 2003 at 6:28 PM Rating: Default
Sorry ppl no recharge -- it is a progressive quest first 5 charges, then 15, then unlimited. when you reach the unlimited why would charges matter. just use it wisely when you do or have some gate potions laying around.
