for 140 plat in gems. . . this item blows imo

thats 136 plat actually i spose ifn you have good CHA . . . ill pass on that

Can this be multi-quested i have the rune and my sister has the heart. I was wondering if she turned in the heart and i turned in the rest of the stuff if it would work

There is one point that should be abundantly clear here. Do not give the items to her until she
recognizes you by asking you if you are interested in Ivy Armor. I hailed her to get the quest,
I then came back with the items and hailed her, and she ignored me as I was indifferent. I went to HPH
and killed 3 bandits and 1 orc and came back in 15 minutes, and hailed her again. He then
gave me the question. I gave her the items and she played with me by indicating that she
did not know what to do with these, then said no wait, here is your Ivy sleeves. You should
enter into the zone no earlier than 8am and no later the 5pm. You do not want to be here come 8pm.
This is WC time, not RV or HPH time. I don't know if it makes a difference in the order that you give her
the items, but I did it in Heart of fire, Rune, Star ruby, Star ruby, and of course all at once. To avoid
confusion with multiple runes, I stored the rune in the same bag as the items that were
to be turned in together. This way I never had to identify the runes later or take the
chance that I get them mixed up. Good luck all. Questions Regnart_eq@yahoo.com

there is nothin easy about this quest. grimfeather is hard to find at times but atleast he always drops the rune. the heart of fire is another story. in my youth i camped here many times to no avail finding a heart then one day i got one when a 55 monk was hangin out in there. now since i have been back camping various things for guildies they have popped many times. they do only drop off inferno goblin wizards. every one says the bar room but the wizards spawn anywhere inferno goblins spawn. i got my first heart by the captain second by the reckless efreeti and my 3rd from the bar room. as for the rubies if these are for yourself buy them in Firiona Vie, thats the place i got best prices from. if you are doin this to sell, hence 3rd time doing it, find a hi level enchanter to buy them for you. these were definatly worth getting till you can afford or camp some rygor or other gear

One tactic for killing Grimfeather, which can be a lil risky... well ok, a lot risky, is to snare him (risky part - but have SoC up and you ca nstill outrun him) and then run him up to the guards on the hill, they aggro onto him while you sit and watch, he will kill both guards and then reaggro onto you, but with such low health that a root and stacked dots will kill him nps.
Did this with a 39 druid.
Tried it a second time, and boy do I wish I had SoC up =)
*you begin casting ensnare*
Your target resisted the ensnare spell
*GrimFeather destroys you utterly for all of your hitpoints, laughing at your feeble attempts to run to the EK zone*
Loading... please stop tackling even con named mobs solo.
Or something.

Be aware of other runes you have in inventory. I first turned in the rune from Redwind then immediately turned in the rune from Stormfeather. I got nothing. I lost all the parts. The GM said tough, start over. My petition just got a "better luck next time!" after almost 4 hours of waiting.

Thank you for your help. What I finally did was bringing both the char in kithicor and the druid gave first the rune and camp. Ranger then gave rubies and heart of fire. It worked !

[message edited to bring news]

This quest increases KithicorResidents, ProtectorsofPine, and JaggedPineTreefolk.
It lowers UnkemptDruids.

You can buy star rubies in the jewelry shop in qeynos. The shop is near the gate. They cost 68pp if you have 110 charisma.

How much is a Star Ruby and where can I get one?
