Ergrez will make you a pair of cougarskin Boots if you bring him a Medium Quality Cougarskin and 2 Cutting Shells. The skin is a random drop from various snow cougars, including named, in the Eastern Wastes and Iceclad Ocean. Cutting Shells are a ground spawn in the water in Cobalt Scar.

Randomly Emotes :
[Sun Sep 04 13:32:35 2022] Ergrez Shortpaw works at skinning and cleaning the raw furs around him.

[Sun Sep 04 13:23:41 2022] You say, 'skinning'
[Sun Sep 04 13:23:42 2022] Ergrez Shortpaw says, 'Yes. I take skin of animal that hunters catch and make into things. Very important, very big job for clan.'

[Sun Sep 04 13:23:47 2022] You say, 'important'
[Sun Sep 04 13:23:47 2022] Ergrez Shortpaw says, 'Is important because I make all the clothes, armor, bags, hut covers, and more. Life much harder for clan if I not here to clean and cure skins. Not many who have knowledge anymore.'

[Sun Sep 04 13:23:51 2022] You say, 'armor'
[Sun Sep 04 13:23:51 2022] Ergrez Shortpaw says, 'Many armors. All of animal hides from the islands. If you wanting armor then I can make for you. All I ask is you do me favor.'

[Sun Sep 04 13:25:08 2022] You say, 'what favor?'
[Sun Sep 04 13:25:09 2022] Ergrez Shortpaw says, 'Snowfangs in need of much help lately. Once we mighty but now weak. You help us get stronger. If you want armor of wolves or cougar then I need you bring twice as many materials. For each thing you wanting I need thing. Just tell me what furs you have and I tell you what I need.'

[Sun Sep 04 13:25:48 2022] You say, 'medium quality cougarskin'
[Sun Sep 04 13:25:48 2022] Ergrez Shortpaw spits. 'Grrrrr. More cat. All I need for this is cutting shells. We not get them much but I need.'
drop from rabid cougar

Rabid Cougar from Lost Map quest (for the eyepatch) dropped the skin for me today
only one shell

I verified this both with Multi-quest for my BL and quest for me. only one shell and one MQ Cougarskin. He gives the other one back with standard "I have no use for this item, you can have it back."

Also, to verify other posts, the shells are all over the sea bed in CS - 5 min = 4 shells.

Good quest to all :)

To get the Cutting Shells.....
# Jul 03 2002 at 7:22 AM Rating: Default
Hi,
what to do to get the cutting shells..........

Dont forage, it takes too long.
Got to Cobalt Scar, Then u need an enduring breath and a camo of a friendly druid, or an eb item and camo yourself. Go to the othmir camp on the beach, invis !! and dive in.........
Nothing under water will see through invis, just make sure invis holds on.........

Cutting Shells are random drops on the ground. Looking like black stones.
I got 5 in 10 minutes, not to difficult at all.

Then go back to Iceclad and get your Med Q cougar pelt (no drop).
Turn 2 cutting shells and 1 Med Q cougarskin in (NPC Ergrez) and u ll get your boots.

Good luck,

Ergrez Shortpaw is located within one of the huts (Iglo's) in the Icepaw Gnoll Camp in Iceclad Ocean :-)

The camp is marked with '4' at Eqatlas' map, which is located here :

You only need one skin. I did this about a week ago to twink my 15 bard. I used one skin and two shells, and got the boots. I promise :)

Easy. Have the high lvl get and turn in the shells. Have the low character turn in the skin. Multi-quests are nice. ;)
RE: Only ONE skin, confirmed
# Apr 14 2002 at 11:55 AM Rating: Default
Now how can his low level turn the skins as he's only lvl 15 and skins are no drop ? :p
RE: Only ONE skin, confirmed
# Jul 01 2002 at 9:11 AM Rating: Decent
Gee, Yogi - perhaps he had that SAME high level that got the shells kill cougars untill the skin dropped, then he looted it... The ranger isn't gonna like that..
hmm

changed formula?
# Aug 19 2001 at 1:22 PM Rating: Default
I just completed this quest and used the "recipies" the others have posted. I think Verant changed the formula. I turned in 2 cutting shells and 2 med quality cougarskin pelts and got TWO pairs of boots. Too bad I can't do anything with the other pair =P

BTW, I did the entire transaction with Ergrez in superior camo, so I dont know what the faction requiremnts are. I did not hail him, simply walked up in camo and handed him the ingredients. I got the "tailoring" message (twice) and that was it. 2 pairs of boots in inventory.

Too bad I had to die to get them... hehe - wound up in a fight with one of those haunted seachests when I was searching for cutting shells near the wreck in the center of the lagoon (and yes you don't forage them - the look like reddish gems just sitting on the lagoon floor around that center shipwreck). Camo drops at such inappropriate moments =P When I brought the battle onshore I was kited on. Such is Cobalt Scars, new zone same problem - watch your back =)

Happy Questing!

I am New to Velious... What do you kill to get the Cutting shells?
RE: changed formula?
# Oct 10 2001 at 11:06 AM Rating: Good
no killing, they are ground spawns.
it works
# Aug 18 2001 at 7:29 PM Rating: Default
i just did this one. you have to get two of the med qual cougar skins and 2 cutting shells and give them to ergrez shortpaw. he wont answer when you hail him, but dont worry - he still gives the boots. the shells i found by the sunken ship. the hard part was getting the key in skyshrine. i asked a steps of the Royal Norrathian Guard and he helped me. (that guild rocks!) to get the key go to the right once you are in there and whisper is a named drake. he has the key. good luck.

"25 people have rated this quest" ... "Not so good" is the average of their opinions. Besides, it is not the boots that have been rated, it is the quest as a whole.
Two Pelts?
# Aug 04 2001 at 5:22 AM Rating: Default
What is this about two pelts. Isn't the pelt a Lore item? If you have one you can get another. Right?

Can someone verify that 2 skins are needed and not one?

Thankyou,

I tried this quest after receiving my cougar mask. I took the long walk to cobalt scar and went swimming. I found both of the shells by a sunken boat. Took a bit because there were other things that looked like the shells but weren't the shells. I was lucky enough to get a port back to iceclad and handed him the 2 shells and 2 pelts and got nothing. No response. No corny response from him for receiveing them. Nothing. I petitioned and the gm wasn't very helpful.
So this is a warning. Im not sure this quest is working properly. Also, just because you get the mask doesn't mean you will get the boots.

i have also found the skinning stones as a ground spawn by the rygorr fort. have seen it twice there in the Valley to the left of Ent to Rygorr fort....just thought i'd let you guys know...
didn't do a /loc so i dont know if they 2 found in the same area was just coincidence or not.

Skinning stones are a random ground spawn in EW, but those are used in the dire wolf fur cloak quest, not the cougarskin boots quest.

what you're looking for here is "cutting shells," a random groundspawn underwater in CS.

hope this helps.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: what merrikat here is saying is absolutly true...i just spent more time than i care to mention gathering 'cutting stones'<(--useless! for this quest anyway, (btw here are the locs of all the spots i found these stupid STONES: -2386,-116/-5430,-243/-5196,-150/-6578,+1035) Beware of waisting time gathering these Stones if your doing the cougar skin quest!!!

I found cutting shells at the bottom of the ocean in Cobalt scar. They show up red on the ground like dropped foraged velium
quantities
# Feb 07 2001 at 3:10 AM Rating: Decent
Ergrez sez he wants two of everything he needs- to help make the Snowfangs strong again. So, two of each item for any of these.

BTW anyone got any ideas on getting the cutting shells?

The cutting shells are actually found on the sea bed in Cobalt Scar. Swim around with Enduring Breath and some form of Invisibility to find them.

TWO MQ pelts.

Not one, but two medium quality cougar skins. One will get you nothing.
