I recently bought a mithril breastplate (17ac 15agi +30HP) and i was wondering if that would be better for a 26 ranger than this. So far as i know, 3 agi gives 1ac, so the mithril bp actually comes out with a score of 22ac. i'm not sure though. thanks in advance

I think it'd come out to which you would rather be. A wannabe tank or more of a caster? Since rangers are wis casters the ivy etched would be better for people who like their spells to... and the extra AC is always nice for tanks. Personally i'd go with the Ivy Etched for a ranger. 3AC isn't THAT much and the tunic gives you 3str as well. So yeah... that's my 2cp worth

My friend is doing these quests. I'm doing the Sol Ro cleric ones. Both are essetnially the level 30ish quests Verant but in for each class in the game so you'd be guarenteed some cool armor if your big on questing...
But why did for all these quests they decide to make a expensive material component? two rubies for this one, two plat bars for mine, so on so forth
Given the degree to which a person must travel the world, risk death from random mobs, gain alliances from other players, rarely but occasionally wait for a MoB cause it's camped, and generally bust his balls, couldn't we have at least avoided having to break our bank too for this stuff?
my two cents. Verant should tone down the material components for these quests. If the ivy/sol ro armors were only breastplates it'd be one thing... but requiring those expensive componets for every piece...
we can see how much Verant REALLY cares about RPers and questers...

He brings up a good point about how Verant is asking a little much for us to go and buy any where from 1-3 jewels. Myself I am a level 54 Warrior and in my younger years I quested for the crafted armor. Every piece required me to spend 100-350pp and because I was a warrior my Cha was not the best making it even more expensive for me. I did make a High Elf Enchanter with all points in Cha to bring down the price but talk about a hassle. I did the quests so I wouldnt have to spend all that money on the pieces but because of the price on jewels and then having to still go out and get the pieces it was almost not even worth it and in the time I could have probably made the money to buy full crafted. Well just responding to what you said.

Dude, the quests are supposed to be difficult quest wise and component wise. Not all the quests are even that difficult for the Ivy peices, but Verant also has to make sure that low lvl ppl don't do this quest that easily as well. Believe me I had my Ivy arms at lvl 12, its easy follow a higher lvl group and loot the items because most of the quest items, unless you want the item is useless to loot. But its another thing to have to part with 300pp for the components. At lvl 12 i'd be hard pressed to come up with the cash. And its a little difficult to have someone give it to you. Its part of Verant's way to balance the game.... And then there are those ppl with High lvl characters that just quest the armor for their low lvl twinks..... oh well, just my 2cp

Yes. You get experience for all of the class-specific armor quests, and quite a bit... If I can remember correctly... It as a loooong time ago... At 30, Hell #1, the greaves and the tunic each gave me about half a bubble of exp, which was quite a nice surprise at the time. I only remember that because I saved that log, for it was my very first "big" quest in EQ:)
Anyway... Good luck!

No, you do not get xp from all the class specific armor quests. I am a lvl 40 cleric on the Zeb server and have yet to get any xp for the cleric armor, just the armor is the reward.

some of them you do. i did the darkforge quests, and got good xp at 39. i also did the cleric boots quest, for my fiance (level 42 cleric at the time) and i got no xp there. unlucky clerics i guess.
oh, it took me all of 2 hours to get the boots, nice break while waiting for my quest armor guy to respawn =)

A friend of mine lost his body and all the items on it. I hunted with this guy in my teens, now I am about 30 levels above him. Doing the ivy etched quests for him is one way I can help make up for the loss of all the stuff he worked at for over a year. I can play daily, he cannot.
One word to explain that my friend.
Twinking.
Example. I am level 25. I ask a lvl 35 to help me beat up stuff. He lets me loot everything. To top it off he gives me a nice weapon to beat up stuff. I just got twinked.
or Uber twinking.
Example. lvl 6 warrior has a bracer that has more AC than your entire suit of armr. His rings/earrings/necklace are more intelligent than your Wizzie. Fights only red con mobs and still win. Seems to have a lvl 50+ char AFK near him all the time. or even worse, the lvl50+ char is a druid or a shaman and can buff that young char to heck. Uber Twink.

/puzzle. This is the lazy way to everything. I wonder why anyone who gives their low level characters tons of pp to go to WC and buy all their armor even bothers playing the game. Where is the fun in doing that? Its like spending several hours a day at the flea market. The point of the game is to adventure and increase your power. When you play a game, do you buy the cheat book and follow the instructions to win? Why bother playing at all? Save your real money, cancel your account, and quit trying to steal my kills, because Im actually using my head and skills to approach a problem and not waiting for someone to sell me the answer.

Then what the hell you doing looking here for answers to things... if you are "...actually using my head and skills to approach a problem and not waiting for someone to sell me the answer..." then you should be Hailing the NPCs and doing /shouts and /ooc's and /say's in game and not looking on websites for information on items, quests and other things... GET REAL you damn right i am going to twink my lower lvl chars, i died enough with my main to make up for it and i would rather use what I find/win/buy than sell it to a nonappreciative snot like you.

I have gotten the left and right side of ivy...I am a druid and i do not have any identify magic spells...now i do not know how to figure out which side is which since they are not labled accordingly (ex.Left side of the Rune of Ivy, Top of the Rune Ivy ect....instead they all just say Rune of Ivy)
Is there any way....does it really matter....any info would be appreciated

Get a caster or a bard with an identify spell to help you. Hold the run in your hand (so the rune is on your cursor). Then have the identify spell cast. You will see something like the following on your screen. Rune of Ivy. Left side.

Does anybody else think that with how cool all the other armor out there looks (crafted, imbued, plate, Tizmak, Ry'Gorr etc) it just is yet another oversight to rangers that we can't have better looking armor? This stuff is called "ivy-etched" but what it looks like is green banded. Bleh!
Don't get me wrong; I love the AC & stats this stuff gives! (and if it wasn't for the stats I would stick to wearing my Ry'Gorr tunic) But one would think that Verant would improve the graphics on this. I think a green/gold ivy pattern on a brown background would just rock, and make Rangers look very cool to boot.

Ok let's compare...
Ivy Etched Tunic
AC19, wt6, STR+3, WIS+3, HP+30, magic
Ry'Gorr Battle Mail (tunic)
AC18, wt1, STR+10, MANA+20, SVPOI+5
Took both of my tunics to Mistmoore last night and wore them for about an hour apiece fighting the same lvl mobs (hill, ramp, canyon and the stuff than idiots trained out of the castle)
Thought that oh, the +7 more STR would make a difference on my hits (I have mastered dual weild and double attack). Just say no... almost no difference noticable; still doing max hits for mid-20's range, 23-26 dmg. However I died twice wearing the RG because I was down 1AC and 30HP less than the Ivy gives. There's been lots of time that having that extra 1AC/30HP has saved my hide and last night was just another example.
If I had stronger or heavier weapons (currently weilding icetooths and a crystal fiber) perhaps it would make a difference... in the meantime, in my opinion (and yours can differ!), the Ivy DOES make a difference for a ranger.
On the other hand, for a class like SK or warrior... the RG absolutely rocks, no doubt about it. It really depends on your class and how buffed you already are on your various stats. I'll be retesting these two pieces of armor in a different zone tonight and see if there's a difference in a place where some 50+ers don't keep yanking 33+ lvl trains on top of us.

Okay, took both these tunics to Permafrost and then Everfrost the other night. We hunted Redwind and his gang so our pair of rangers could get his ivy rune for a different ivy quest, then went up to EF to hunt the gobbie wiz to get the Heart of Ice for somebody else.
No deaths at Redwind... used each tunic for about half an hour of steady pulling, and saw almost no difference in HP.
Headed to EF... this zone is a real pain in the ashwood to clear your way into, to make it to where you can safely pull the wizard. A 40 druid friend helped our group (mid-20's) clear our way in. Problem with EF of course is the gobs; at 23, most of them to the spiked gate near wiz are green, but since they tend to train, they can gang up and do a lot of damage in a short time. Again, did not see any real difference in the damage I was dealing out.
Somebody told me that things like STR INT etc tend to have larger "pops"/"spikes" in increments of 25 (ie 100, 125) ... if I could find the equipment to get my char's STR the last couple points to 125, I might see a difference in the damage dealt wearing RG vs Ivy. Currently not seeing it though; only noticing I last longer in the Ivy due to higher AC/HP buffs on it. If anybody could shed light on this "25 mark," it would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, I read somewhere that rangers cannot do critical hits on any weapons except their bows. If somebody could also confirm THAT, I would love to know. Thanks!

That is true; Rangers can only crit with bows.
Rangers are supposed to be the bow masters, and yet Warriors can crit with bows as well. Warriors do have to wait until post-50 to raise Archery skill above 200 (Rangers can go to 240 before level 50, which is the max for the skill), but they can catch up to Rangers post-50 easily. So what is there to distinguish Rangers as masters of the bow?

I was told by a guy who has run lots of different characters for the past two years that stats only matter in 5 point increments for your character.
so if you have a wis of 100 and add a item that kicks it up to 103, no difference....kick it up to 105 and it makes a differenece. Try setting up a character with that in mind.

I just want to point out to you that in your 20s.(in level) Str does not apply to your damage bonuse. It goes as follows.
1-20 since you have damage caps you really only do double the weapons base in damage. i.e. if you are using Morin's Short Sword which is 6 / 22 your max damage would be 12.
20+ since your cap has been removed you can now damage past 30 if you have a weapon that allows it. i.e. if you had an Axe of Iron Back which is 16 / 37? not positive on delay. You could do 32 damage max, if you notice using the weapon before lvl 20 you would do like 28 or 29 damage max... that's the damage cap.
30+ Str bonus kicks in.
That's prolly why you haven't seen any damage difference cause you are lvl 23.
Just my 2cp

Now *that* is one of the most useful posts I've seen in a while! Thanks, Anonymous! :-)
Been hunting the giants at the forts in Warsiliks Woods and Frontier Mtns, going from 25-30. Good experience (1/4 to full bulb, depending on # in group and lvl of giant) and again tested Ivy vs. RyGorr.
My conclusions... if I'm soloing and kiting, I like the Ivy. The extra WIS and extra HP give me a small edge over RG in being to outlast the mob, especially when the mob is whacking happily away on my head. (and when they provide a stun, a giant can easily dish out almost 200hp dmg before you can even move!)
On the other hand, if I am in a group, I'm liking the RyGorr more, because I am starting to see those 30+ damage notes (not including my damage from dd/dot spells) for my hits. A nice round of dual weild/double attack + kick can now do 125+ dmg easy (if I'm lucky), more if somebody in the group can alcrity/haste.
Hit lvl 30 last night. Hmm... so STR bonus kicks in now eh? Time to upgrade my arms and legs armor for some stuff with WIS/DEX buffs and see what damage I can get up to!

i just finished this one and now have a full set of ivy etched on my lvl 20 ranger (ppl just dont want to items they arent worth anything to anyone else but us) i did it all pretty quick whent from full banded to full ivy in about 1 week. *shrugs* im so pretty
I have gotten pretty lucky here... I was wandering around LFay with my sister, a druid, to get 4 ghast hearts for the Tunare Initiate, and a high level druid had killed thistle, and the rune was just there, and she looted it. I was later getting micro servos for a trueshot (which I still don't have :-( ) when a 41 pally killed meldrath, and told me it was for a ranger quest. I then looted it and looked it up here, so all I need is the rubies, if I can have my sister turn in the rune, and then me complete it. Will this work? It certainly would make getting a nice Tunic pretty easy : )
Anonymous
Yes, it will work.
Just make sure your sister gives the rune first,
then you hand the skull and the rubies (unstacked)and you should have a nice new tunic.
Happy hunting...

Yup... I have one now, finally got the money today : )... almost as good as going from level 23 to level 25 in one weekend : ) (And I didn't spend all my time playing- just got a good gobbie group in High keep, we were monopolizing the zone... except for the one lookout spawn, we had it all ; )

Contrary to popolar belief, Meldrath does NOT have his skull with him all the time ... It took five kills for two of us to each get a skull ..

Depending on the situation, Meldrath can be easy. If the Lord's and Hero's have time to join the fight, you may just have to kiss your tail goodbye......I personally saw a lvl 40 Druid and a lvl 40 Monk get wasted by this guy and his Mino's. However, on the other hand I saw a lvl 46 aladin go in and waste the caves by himself....Go figure!!!!!!!!

I just finished this quest, so here are the full details:
1) You need the rune of ivy off Thistle Underbrush. He is a brownie about level 25 and runs around Lesser Faydark.
2) You need the skull of Meldrath. Meldrath is a gnome necromancer about level 35, with a pet around level 25-27. He is deep in the minotaur caves in Steamfont, so be prepared to fight the Minotaur Guards and possibly the Minotaur Hero as well.
3) You need 2 rubies. These are NOT star rubies, but just plain rubies. I have heard that you can find them in Felwithe and Qeynos, but I got mine at Highkeep, from a female merchant at the top of the stairs that lead to the bank. They cost me about 130 pp each (with 106 charisma).
Talk to Gandari at the ranger guild in Kithicor forest (you can see the buildings from the road between Highpass and the commons). She will tell you which items you need (as above). Give them to her (make sure the rubies are NOT stacked). You will get an ivy etched tunic. :)
I am not sure whether or not it is necessary to talk to her first, but I think it is a good idea anyway and it doesn't hurt.

This is a good quest, one of the better ones for low- and mid-level rangers, in my opinion. I've done it repeatedly with fellow guild rangers.
Getting the Rune from Thistle is tough primarily because he's so DANG FAST!!! If you have SoW or Wolf Form, you can track him down as he zips around Lfay with occasional stops. If you don't, forget about doing the quest. It's hard to tell for sure, but it seems like the brownies are placeholders for Thistle. He is fast, but not very tough. The brownies are tougher. Three rangers in our high-20s were able to drag him down easily. I wouldn't recommend taking him on with less than that.
Meldrath is a different story. 2 of us, both around 30, wandered into the Mino caves to find him. He seems to be tougher than 35. He feared us both, then sent his pet out to fry us. Lessons learned, we got some mid-30s volunteers together and went back in and smoked him, repeatedly. Meldrath's room is actually a great camping spot, especially for Mino Lords and Heros, so it'll be popular with non-rangers as well.
My advice: use lots of overkill on Meldrath, because he really is nasty. Plus, you'll need it to fight your way past the Mino Guards. This part of the quest is tricky because those guards will shred your casters while Mel sends your tanks screaming down the hall. Be careful. The reward is well worth it, however!

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.

Hunting this guy is, well a giant pain ! He runs at SUPER SPEED, SoW dont touch him !
I was lucky when in LFD I came across Thistle fighting with the Ranger NPC who stands outside the ranger camp. The two boys took each other down to near death before Thistle was victorious. I simply then strolled over and hit him once or twice and he fell. Ivy cords and Rune of Ivy...like I said lucky.
As an alternative you may just hang about in LFD as quite often I hear people giving the LOC of the rune as it is no drop and of no value to them.
