    Requires medium/high Amiably faction with Ashen Order, a human Quellious monk is able to start this quest provided they handed in their newbie tunic note.

    This is a followup quest to "Grim's Tiger Revenge" but can be started at anytime provided you have the required faction

    At the end of "Grim's Tigers Revenge" you receive the following text from Grim Oakfist:

    Grim Oakfist says 'Good work. I hope you had no run ins with the local rangers. Here is my reward. An object from the past which I found in my journeys. Wish that I could reward also with [treant fists].'

    You say, 'What treant fists'

    Grim Oakfist says 'The treant fists were created by great craftsmen. They are for the fists of a monk and offer greater dexterity and increase the durability of one's soul. My last pair were given to Master Puab of the Ashen House training grounds.'


    Puab Closk can be found in the West Freeport Monk guild.

    You say, 'Hail, Puab Closk'

    Puab Closk says, 'Greetings, I am Puab Closk, Master of the Ashen Order. Our home is your home, friend. Feel free to stay as long as you like. Learn our ways as many have done in the past. To fight like the tiger and strike like the cobra are your goals.'

    You say, 'what treant fists'

    Puab Closk says, 'You desire the treant fists? I have them and I will offer them to any [skilled monk of the Ashen House].'

    You say, 'skilled monk of the Ashen House'

    Puab Closk says, 'Then you shall aid our family. My former pupil, [Clawfist], has been banished by his people. You will go to him and hand him this token as proof of your origin. He will be expecting you.'

    Recieve: Puab's Token

    You say, 'Clawfist'

    Puab Closk says, 'Clawfist has been banished by the Kerrans of Odus. Where they have sent him, I am unsure.'

    Travel to the far west section of Toxxulia Forest (formerly the zone Kerra Isle). Find "a banished kerran" at location -3, 2340, 2. This is in the northern section of kerra isle in the temple looking building down a small ramp.

    You say, 'Hail, a banished kerran'

    a banished kerran says, 'Rrrrrr... Away frrrom this isle of death and... prrrr... punishment.'

    You say, 'puab sent me'

    a banished kerran says, 'Prrr... Master Puab? Show me prrroof.'

    Give the banished kerran "Puab's Token"

    a banished kerran says, 'Ashen Order! Prrr... My order. I have been expecting one of us. Prrr... Help me rejoin my native land. Take this box. Combine all the [remains of Thipt] within the box and return it to me. This shall aid me in my redemption.'

    You Receive: Box with Pawprints
    You say, 'remains of Thipt'

    a banished kerran says, 'Clawknight Thipt wished to learn the ways of Ashen. Prrr... Together we go into green goblins' lair to train. Prrr... We find too many and he is too weak. Separated and unable to find him, I hear his death cry. Prr... I cannot make it back, eyes upon me. Now I must find one sent by Ashen to aid in the recoverrry of his remains.'

    The green goblin lair he refers to is Runnyeye, head to that area to find the four remains of Thipt

    The first of the remains is a "Ribcage Chest Armor", which may be found on "a goblin alchemist" that shares a PH with Mooto and other regular goblins that wander between the camps near Runnyeye. He is reported to be a semi-rare spawn.

    The second piece is a "Humerus Handled Mace", found on "a goblin alchemist" in the Gorge of King Xorbb. The spawn point is directly outside the entrance to Runnyeye, and the placeholders seem to be the two goblins stationed by the Runnyeye entrance. Also reported to be a semi-rare spawn. The patrolling Gorge Minotaurs can make this a tricky camp as they will kill goblins they come across, including the alchemist.


    The third piece is "Cat Skull Cap" which is a common drop found inside Runnyeye off of "a Pickclaw mindripper", a common spawn found on the 2nd level. An easy way to get to the 2nd level is to take the first right from Gorge of King Xorbb and follow the tunnel down.

    The fourth piece is "Fractured Femur" which is a common drop found inside Runnyeye off of "a Pickclaw bonemender", a common spawn also found on the 2nd level.

    Combine the Ribcage Chest Armor, Humerus Handled Mace, Cat Skull Cap, and Fractured Femur inside the Box with Pawprints to create "Box of Cat Bones". Return to Kerra Isle.

    Give Box of Cat Bones to a banished kerran (aka Clawfist)

    a banished kerran says, 'Prrr... Thank you brother of Ashen. I can now spend my time upon this island in peace, until my penance is serrrved.' He dabs his paw into the mud and places it upon a tattered parchment. 'Take this message to Puab. Farrrewell.''

    You Receive: Pawprint

    Return to Puab Closk in the West Freeport Monk guild

    Give Pawprint to Puab Closk

    Puab Closk says, 'You have performed a great service to one who is your brother. Your loyalty shines brightly, as does your skill. Take the treant fists. They are yours now.'

    Your faction standing with Ashen Order has been adjusted by 20.
    Your faction standing with Knights of Truth has been adjusted by 3.
    Your faction standing with Silent Fist Clan has been adjusted by 1.

    Getting the Fists
    # Aug 03 2000 at 12:32 PM Rating: Good
    I did the quest at lvl 30, taking time out for a week. Taking breaks, from start to finish it was about 45 hours of camping. The gorge alchemist was the worst, considering the spawn rate is 70-72 minutes! When I finally found it, it started attacking, so is in the 20s. The spawns in Runnyeye were easy, I got them within 10 minutes of each other. And the one in Misty only has an 18 minute spawn rate. Having a friend camp Mooto's spot in Misty while you wait in the gorge might be a good idea. Or run back and forth. I'm never setting foot in Gorge of King Xorbb again now that I have my Fists...sick of that place =P
    Better than Shiverback IMO

    With the high AC on the Fists, I feel that they get the nod over Shiverback, if you already have night vision from an alternate source.

    The Misty Alchemest level ranges up to 18 - conned blue to me at 19. I found him near the orc camp in corner - surprised me when he attacked - crushed his goblin butt. The rib cage is NODROP so don't go asking anazinamies for it - he can't sell it to you. I'll probably finish the quest just to get the exp and then sell gloves if they're not NODROP

    i am a lv 15 monk, ive heard of the quest and was planning on doing it when i was a much higher level, ive seen everybody spent 90+ hours camping the alchemists then i laughed, i couldnt get a port to WC from NK so i had to run there, when i zoned into misty there was the alchemist, killed him got the rub cage, and before i even finished fighting, a ranger i had said hi to in the gorge sent em a tell saying the alchemist was in gorge and asked fi i needed it, i got both alchemists in under 5 minutes, rofl
    Some help...
    # Jul 10 2000 at 9:18 PM Rating: Decent
    I was one of the lucky guys to get me the gloves. I camped him for almost a 3 week(taking breack, not non-stop). I found out that the Alchemist in the Gorge spawns twice in a row. The day I found him I killed him twice! Another monk and I Both got what we needed. When I was fighting in Gorge with another character the same thing happened, the Alchemist spawned twice in a row(aproximatately 90 minutes appart). I have heard others tell me they saw the same thing, so I imagine it is pretty common. Now, the one in Misty spawns pretty often(should get him in a couple of days), but if he always spawns right after the Alchemist in Gorge spawns. So if your lucky enoughf to pass by gorge and kill the alchemist in Gorge I highly recomend you cap the one in misty if you havent already. He is bound to spawn soon; took me less than 20 minutes after second spawn of Alchemist in Gorge ;)

    In my opinion, the gloves are worth it just for the look. But if your more into leveling and having fun, just check by the zone whenever you pass by. I got the alchemists by pure luck when I was helping a friend level there(I had given up on the quest LONG before that :P ).
    Life after the nerf
    # Jul 06 2000 at 3:10 PM Rating: Default
    After they nerfed the gloves I would of liked to of seen some affect.... any affect added to the gloves like root maybe (Trent = tree = root?). The gloves are still ok, but to hard of a quest for some thing that is no drop (would be nice to have your guild be able to help you get the parts for the quest)
    6 hours is absurd
    # Jul 05 2000 at 11:24 AM Rating: Decent
    I spent over 80 hours camping the Alchemists.
    Quest time
    # Jul 03 2000 at 11:00 AM Rating: Default
    Estimated time of 6 hours is ridiculous! If you could find either of the two Alchemists by camping them non-stop for only 6 hours consider yourself brilliantly lucky. I've got 55 hours played time loged on this quest so far, I've had friends helping me out during the two periods of sleep I took (four hours/day) and I still don't have treant fists. The quest is horrible. Plus there is no experience to be gained while camping the alchemist, since both of them live in newbie zones.

    I got 3 of the 4 quest items with 2 hours of starting the quest. But I have spent over 10+ hours wating for the alchemist in the Gorge. Does he spawn right at the interence.
    I think...

    I think... the other faction is KnightsofTruth
