Okay, finished this quest today. I will be adding to what you have. Corrections and additions are added in bold. Some of the instructions were a bit unclear, so I tried to make them a bit easier to understand.
You say, 'I want to learn more about shields.'
Noril Galoon says 'Shields and bucklers are very versatile. They can be used to deflect blows, knock your opponents off balance, and even offer a secondary form of attack. If you want me to help you to modify your shield, I'll need you to gather some rough ore pieces. They can be taken from the rhinobeetles that reside in the moor. Place them in a forge with a flask of water and your set of files to create bolts. Combine the full bag of bolts and return the product and the buckler to me.'
If you did not collect rough ore pieces, go back out to Hollowshade Moor and kill more rhinobeetles.
To construct the Crude Bolts, combine 1 rough ore piece, the Set of Engraved Files you received, and a flask of water in the forge. Trivial for the combine is 68. Once you have filled the Grime Covered Bag with 8 bolts, combine to craft a Bag of Bolts and return it and your buckler to Noril Galoon.
Noril Galoon says 'Thanks for the Bag of Bolts, ________.'
Noril Galoon says 'Thank you for making those for me. I was almost out. I'll modify your buckler immediately after I finish what I am doing here. Meanwhile, take this shopping list to Friaz. Do what you can to assist her. I need the bag of beetle horns she will give you if I am to work on your shield today.'
Noril gives you a shopping list. Bring the list and give it to Friaz - she will add items to the list. Make sure, as usual, to have a container slot free. Friaz Ompir is in the building where Master Barkhem is on the second floor.
Friaz Ompir says 'Ahhh... I see that Noril is trying to get out of work. That lad is a lazy one. Not a problem though... you'll do all the same. Here, let me add a few more things to that list, since you look nice and strong. Take this list and my grocery bag and I'll see about scrounging up the beetle horns that Noril's been bugging me about.''
You receive a woven grocery bag and Friaz's New Shopping List.
The shopping will have changed to: 2 Bluetoe Mushrooms, 1 Bottle of Grinning Grimling, 1 Bottle of Rockhopper Red Ale, and 4 Fatty Owlbear Meat.
Bluetoe Mushrooms are a ground spawn in Paludal Caverns. Enter Paludal Caverns from Hollowshade Moor (when you zone into Hollowshade Moor turn right and follow the wall till you see an outcropping of rocks. This is the zone into Paludal Caverns) After you zone into Paludal Caverns go through the first room once you get to the tunnel. Start searching the white mushroom patches for the Bluetoe mushrooms (there are 4 different patches which seem to contain this ground spawn).
Fatty Owlbear meat is found on Owlbear cubs in Hollowshade Moor - they look like Owlbear guts.
The Grinning Grimling can only be bought in Katta Castellum in the bank area at "Nectar of Unity Brewery and Tavern" from Jacob Rutledge. The Rockhopper Red Ale is sold in Shar Vahl from Barkeep Rawlf.
Combine everything together to craft a Full Grocery Bag. Return this to Friaz Ompir.
Friaz Ompir says 'I thank you, ______. I should make Noril come get these horns himself, but I guess that I can understand what it feels like to be too busy to get everything done. You've been a great help to me today. Give these horns to Noril and tell him that I thank him for your assistance. Take care, young one.'
Take the bag of Beetle Horns and give them to Noril Galoon.
When you give Noril the Bag of Beetlehorns he gives you back your upgraded shield, then tells you to go back and see Armsman Khaigesh and give him your buckler, cloak and sword.
You will receive experience and a Horn Covered Buckler.
Return to Armsman Khaigesh and give him your Horn Covered Buckler, Leather Gripped Short Sword, and Cloak of the Khala Dun Recruit.
Armsman Khaigesh says 'Excellent work! You're progressing nicely, young warrior. You are well suited to the path of the Khala Dun. Take this new cloak and wear it proudly. You have earned the right to consider yourself an Apprentice of the Khala Dun. Please speak to Guard Kuash and show him your new buckler.'
Armsman Khaigesh shouts 'Citizens and travelers, please welcome, ____ to the rank of Apprentice to the noble Khala Dun! We should all serve our people in such an honorable fashion! '
Your faction standing with Khala Dun has been adjusted by 5.
You will receive experience and the Cloak of the Khala Dun Apprentice.
