Ergrez Shortpaw makes armor for his village and is willing to make some for you if you bring him twice what it takes to make the armor. Each piece seems to take a combination of two animal pelts and two of some other item.
I don't yet know the combinations or the rewards. If you discover one and find out the reward, please hit the send a correction button and e-mail in the combination and the reward.
Once I know the reward, I will split off each piece into its own quest description.
These are the ones I think are valid so far:
- Low Quality Cougar Fur and Fatty Walrus Meat
- Medium Quality Cougar Fur and Cutting Shells
- Dire Wolf Fur and Dark Bindings
This one I know the result of:
- High Quality Cougar Fur and Mammoth Meat -- See the quest Cougarskin Mask under Iceclad Ocean Quests.
Need /loc of quest mob, all dialogues, faction hits if any, quest items involved, rewards, etc.
Captain Nalot's Triple Strength Rum (Normal): NOTE: In order to complete this quest you will need the ability to Forage OR possibly have someone multiquest a foraged item for you (Multiquest not confirmed to work).
On the docks arriving into Iceclad are two gnomes, Nelet Durzit and Rendap.
You say, 'Hail, Nelet Durzit'
Nelet Durzit sneezes and wipes his hand across his nose. 'H-h-h-i.'
Rendap says, 'Nelet don't talk much anymore. All this cold really gets to 'im.'
You say, 'what cold'
Nelet Durzit talks through clenched, chattering teeth. 'Y-y-yeah. C-cursed cold. Sh-sh-shot of gnomish pirate triple strength rum's all I need ta fix me up, Rendap tells me. N-n-nilham lost it all, though.'
Inside one of the igloos in the gnome camp in Iceclad you can find Nilham the Chef.
You say, 'Hail, Nilham the Chef'
Nilham the Chef says, 'Ahoy, Bobbybick. Welcome ta the brig. I didn't get ta the 'B' section of my piratisms manual so I'm not sure what a brig is but I'm guessin' it means 'really small place without enough food or water.' So, ya here ta stay or just visitin'?'
Unknown how to coax the information out of Nilham from here as to the rum.
You say, 'what crate'
Nilham the Chef says, 'I'll be an aft port if I think anyone will ever see the crate and key again. If by some act o' Prexus you do, then take them ta the Cap'n. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to see it. Just don't remind him I'm here cause he might let me go and make me work again.'
You say, 'What cat'
Nilham the Chef says, 'That was a nasty cat. I dun think it was after us, though. I think it just smelled the fresh chunk of wooly rhino jerky I had. It didn't do anythin' but knock us over. I guess that's what it likes, walrus. After it knocked us over it slipped away towards the bridge island like a ghostly mist. I'm thinkin' I saw a glimmer in its maw while it was runnin' off.'
The Crate
Gnomish deserter can be found in the middle of Great Divide, on top of a mountain that sits above the wurm caves. He is sitting down at the peak and can be easy to miss.
You say, 'Hail, gnomish deserter'
Gnomish deserter smiles at you and nods congenially. 'Hullo there. Nice ta meet ya.' He moves to shake your hand and then seems to remember that his hand is currently frozen to a very heavy, very solid hunk of metal shaped somewhat like a box.
You say, 'what is that box'
Gnomish deserter says, 'Huh? Box? Where's a box? Heh. I don't see a box.'
You say, 'how did you get your hand stuck'
Gnomish deserter says, 'Erm. Well ya see. One day I was on guard duty and a huge white cat knocked me over. It looked like it was running away towards the bridge island. Anyways, I fell into the water. I guess I passed out because next thing I knew I was over near the gnolls laying on top of this huge box. It's then that I made the decision.'
You say, 'what decision'
Gnomish deserter says, 'To leave. I'm really tired of this pirate stuff. Captain Nalot said it was gonna be great fun and an adventure but all I've seen is a lot of biscuits, slush water, and guard duty. So I'm here.'
You say, 'how did you get here'
Gnomish deserter says, 'Yup. This isn't such a bad spot. It's nice and peaceful. I can see for miles and every once in a while someone like you drops by to talk. There's no guard duty and I don't have to say 'Arrrr' anymore. That really starts to hurt your throat, you know. The only problem I have anymore is my hand frozen to this box. If ya find a way to fix it let me know.'
Find Pythic Urson in Thurgadin. He can be located inside the large bar in the northeast of the zone. You will need high Amiably faction for him to respond to hails but turnins can be done as low as dubious.
You say, 'Hail, Pythic Urson'
Pythic Urson turns and looks at you. 'What?' He goes back to drinking his ale and resting.
You say, 'what ale'
Pythic Urson says, 'Its a fine Coldain ale. Good for quenchin yer thirst after a hard day of minin. The ales name doesnt matter cause ya wouldnt be able to hold it down anyways. Har har.'
You say, 'what mining'
Pythic Urson says, 'Aye. Mining. Im a miner. Thats a hard one to put together eh? Yer about as sharp as me hammer and as quick as the mining crud on me boots.'
You say, 'what crud'
Pythic Urson says, 'Mining crud, thats what I said. Mixture o' velium dust, mud, and whatever other junk is left on the floor after I be minin. Hard as a giant to fight off me boots.'
You say, 'boots'
Pythic Urson says, 'There used ta be a mixture we used ta clean off our boots but that was when we had more warriors ta get ta different places. Now it aint possible so the crud just keeps buildin up on me boots.'
You say, 'what warriors to get to different places'
Pythic Urson says, 'If you think ya can get what's needed then go ahead. The mixture used ta be made out of saps and acidic oozes. You find some and bring it to me maybe I can slap it together.'
The items Pythic needs are Bladder of Acidic Ooze which is a small side quest out of Cobalt Scar and Fresh Tree Sap which can be foraged in either Wakening Lands or Plane of Growth.
Find Qarrgy Scallopgobbler, an othmir located on the beach of Cobalt Scar.
Qarrgy Scallopgobbler sets down several large crustacean shells covered in foreign runes, then extends his large, coarse hands in a gesture of friendship. 'I am pleased to see friendly visitors to our villages. I am the head craftsman of the village. The crustacean shell armor worn by the warriors of our village was crafted by me and by my apprentices. I will craft other materials as well when they are available.'
You say, 'what crustacean shell armor'
Qarrgy Scallopgobbler says 'It takes awhile to make each piece. It has to go through a long burning process to clean away all old meat and dirt. Then it needs shaping and etching with runes.
You say, 'what burning process'
Qarrgy Scallopgobbler says 'Usually I use a mixture made from the livers of barraccudas. Their liquids are very strong and make good burning liquid. If you want some you need to bring me two barraccuda livers.
Barracuda Livers are uncommon/rare drops off the "a coldwater barracuda" located just off the shores of Cobalt Scar. You will need two of them.
Give Qarrgy TWO Barracuda Livers.
Qarrgy Scallopgobbler slams a knife into the various livers and squeezes out all of their various goos and juices. Eventually he seperates a bit of it and pours it into a protective bladder. 'Excellent work. This is a good catch. Here, you have sack of ooze. Its good for burning things off or etching metals. Thank you for your help.'
Receive: Bladder of Acidic Ooze.
Return to Pythic Urson in Thurgadin once you have both the Ooze and Tree Sap.
Give the Bladder of Acidic Ooze Ooze and Fresh Tree Sap to Pythic.
Pythic Urson laughs at you and then takes the sap and bladder. He mixes the two together and then adds something from a small pourch he carries. With a quick sizzle he pours some on his boots and the crud melts away. 'See that? Didn't do anything but get rid of the crud. This stuff is great. It doesn't burn yer skin or valuables. Here ya go, you can have the rest.'
Receive: Dissolving Liquid
Return to the gnomish deserter in Great Divide
Give the Dissolving Liquid to the gnomish deserter.
gnomish deserter grins and pours the ooze on his hand and the box. You hear a burning sizzle and then the box thumps onto the ground. 'Ow! Ow! Take it! Hah. I never thought I would get rid of that piece of...'
The Key
For this part you will need FOUR (4) Fresh Chunk of Wooly Rhino, these are rare drops from wooly rhinos in Eastern Wastes.
Mist Panther can be found in Wakening Lands, a bit south of the lake in the center. NOTE: This is not one of the many "haze panthers" that are found throughout the zone.
Give 4 Fresh Chunk of Wooly Rhino to the Mist Panther.
mist panther jumps at you and snatches the meat from your hand. It runs away from you and feasts on the other side of the water. As it runs away you notice a small shiny object fall from its mouth.
Receive: Golden Broken Key
Sojan the Sleepless can be found in one of the igloos in the gnomish camp in Iceclad.
You say, 'Hail, Sojan the Sleepless'
Sojan the Sleepless stares at you through bleary eyes. 'I get enough conversation from my wife. If ya want water or biscuits, buy em! Otherwise, leave me alone!'
You say, 'what conversation from your wife'
Sojan the Sleepless says, 'Since ya like talkin', then fine. You wanna do me a favor? Go get me some wolf fur earmuffs so I don't gotta listen to ya, or her, any more.'
Errgriz is a gnoll that can be found in one of the huts southwest of Tower of Frozen Shadow in Iceclad Ocean.
You say, 'Hail, Errgriz'
Errgriz says 'Errrr. You come for master, learning like me?'
You say, 'What are you learning?'
Errgriz says 'I am learning ways of skinning and tailoring. None left but the master so I must learn to help. For now I only clean the furs.'
You say, 'You clean furs?'
Errgriz says 'Yes. I clean the furs and then the master makes things from them.'
You say, 'What things do you make?'
Errgriz says 'I wish I could make things. Headcoverings, to keep cold from head is what I want to make. I think I ready but not able to make until I get furs. Master says to find skin of high quality, thick and strong, but I have no training in hunting.'
High Quality Dire Wolf Fur are uncommon drops from Dire Wolves throughout Velious.
Give Errgriz a High Quality Dire Wolf Fur.
Errgriz starts to cut and scrape the furs. He growls softly as he works and his master watches his progress. 'Grrr. Much too small. I fail. I not ready to work on my own. Sorry to waste your time. Here, take what I made. Maybe you can find use for it.'
Receive: Wolf Fur Earcovers
Return to Sojan the Sleepless back at the gnome camp.
Give the Wolf Fur Earcovers to Sojan.
Sojan the Sleepless stares at you and then laughs before putting on the earmuffs. As he moves around, blissfully protected from the noise, a fine chain slips from his coat. 'Hey! Look at that! What a fine chain! It looks familiar but I can't tell how. Oh, well, you can have it. It looks like it could be used to fill gaps or if needed to repair another similar metal object. I can do that if you ever find need.
Receive: Fine Gold Chain
Give Sojan the Fine Gold Chain and the Golden Broken Key.
Sojan the Sleepless puts a tiny eyeglass up to his eye and studies the key and chain. "Aye, this looks like the perfect metal to fix this key. Gimmie just a moment." He uses fine and minute tools to pick and push the chain and key over a fire. "Ha!" Don't say I ain't never done anythin for ya. There ya go, Bobbybick."
Receive: Rum Box Key
With both the Rum Box Key and the Locked Rum Box you are almost done. Head to Captain Nalot in one of the igloos opposite of Sojan in Iceclad.
Give Captain Nalot the Rum Box Key and the Locked Rum Box
Captain Nalot says, "Land ho! That be me rum! Where did ya get that? Ah nevermind. Gimme those things. Just a bit of a turn here... and a pick there... and a twist... and she's unlocked, har! Here, take a jug. It'll be the least I can do fer ye. We'll be havin a party tonight lads!'
Receive: Capt. Nalot's Triple Strength Rum
Return to Nelet Durzit down by the docks in Iceclad.
Give Nelet the Capt. Nalot's Triple Strength Rum
Nelet Durzit greedily swigs rum from the jug. After a few drinks, he starts to gag and make faces. 'Oh geez! Rendap told me this stuff was strong, but this tastes like clockwork grease! It burns but now I feel - ugh.
Nelet doubles over and passes out on the ground. As he falls over, a small silver trinket slips out of his pocket.
Renday points and laughs as Nelet falls over. "That'll put hair on yer ears, boy. Suck it up. Least ya ain't shiverin' o' cold anymore, eh?"

Translocator Kurione says, "Hello there. There seems to be some strange problems with the boats in this area. The Academy of Arcane Sciences has sent a small team of us to investigate them. If you need to [travel to North Ro] in the meantime, I can transport you to my companion there. We also just recently discovered that Joshel has been stranded over in the middle of the ocean since the problems with the boats started. If you'd be willing to go see if he's ok, I may be able to [teleport you near there]. Keep in mind though that it will be a one way trip. There is no one on the island able to send you back.'
You say, 'Teleport me near there'
You are teleported near the dock at the island in the far northeastern corner of Iceclad Ocean. Search for Joshel the Large on the other side of the island.
You say, 'Hail, Joshel the Large'
Joshel the Large says, 'That's right. Large, cause that's what I be. If'n ya don't like it, or even if ya do, ya best get to the dock on the other side o' this island. Ya never know when [Icebreaker] is gonna stop by again and yet not wantin' ta miss it.'

Upon completion of the Kidnapping of Firiona Vie quest, Galeth Veredeth has taken up residence in Iceclad Ocean (location?).
NPCs that spawned outside the Tower of Frozen Shadow drop items with lore "Freezing to the touch," which can be turned in to Galeth Veredeth for rewards for various levels (which items for which rewards?). Some mobs found outside the tower:
a doomshadow
a deathhound
a snowbone
an ice-encrusted armsman
a shadow terror
Guardian of Frozen Shadow is another mob outside the tower (required to kill in order to zone in?).
Once inside the tower, you'll have to make your way from floor to floor until you reach the seventh floor. You will have to clear the inhabitants of each floor before progressing to the next.

The Grammar Manual (Normal): Speak to Ami at the gnome pirate camp.
You say, 'Hail, Ami'
Ami flips through a few pages of a small book, reading intently before answering you. 'Ye scurvy dog. I'll strike yer colors 'fore ya can put me on a gibbet. Take that, ya crimp!' She flips through a few more pages then smiles at you. 'Arrrr!'
You say, 'Ye scurvy dog!'
Ami grins. 'Hey, that's pretty good. You did it without a book too. Nice to meet you. I'm the bosun here.'
You say, 'What's a bosun?'
Ami says 'Yup. I think it means I'm in charge of the flag cause that's what the Cap'n told me to take care of. I'm the one who made our symbol, so I get to protect it. I even got my own copy of the grammar manual so I can practice my pirate speech.'
You say, 'What grammar manual?'
Ami nods and shows you the book for a moment. 'We don't have many of them and usually we share. My book is missing a chapter, though.'
You say, 'What chapter are you missing?'
Ami nods. 'A mate of mine borrowed the P Chapter to draw a map on but then he went and got himself lost. I've memorized the rest of the book but that chapter. Oh, well, I guess I can get by with what I have. Walk the mizenmast and batten down the boom!' She looks at you proudly. 'Good, eh? I'm one of the best pirates we have.'
Now go find "a lost pirate" on the northeast side of the island (hug the coast north from the dock).
You say, 'Hail, a lost pirate'
a lost pirate twitches and growls a little. 'Arrr. Grrr. Ahoy, mate. The name's Teep.' He shivers and you notice a little drool at the corner of his mouth. 'Ya ain't lost out here too, are ya?'
You say, 'I am not lost.'
a lost pirate grins and stares through you with a mad gleam in his eye. 'Hehehe. Yah, yer lost aren't ya. I can tell from the crazy sound o' yer voice. Too bad we ain't got me map. The map would lead us straight back ta camp. Yah, that it would, boyo.'
You say, 'What map?'
a lost pirate nods. 'After we got ourselves stuck on this island I got it in me head to draw up a map so none o' the crew would ever get lost. So I set myself to explorin' and drawin'. Now the map is gone. Too bad, too, cause it was a map o' the whole place, not just the first island, but a bunch o' parts.' Mention of the map seems to have sobered him up a bit.
[This is for a related quest to recover The Lost Map.]
You say, 'Ami wants Chapter P.'
a lost pirate stares at the water. 'I'm rememberin' that. Yah. Ami's book. Thats what I drew, erm, the fifth part o'n. It got lost in the ocean too.' He looks at you. 'Yer wantin' ta go out and find all o' these pieces?'
[Not sure what the next trigger phrase is, but go find "Snowfang fisher" on an ice floe south of the Tower of Frozen Shadow.]
You say, 'Hail, Snowfang fisher'
Snowfang fisher says 'Furless one wants something with snowfang? You here to help with curse?'
You say, 'What curse?'
Snowfang fisher growls as the other fisher-gnolls bark at the mention of the curse. 'Some days ago we found flat, strong, stretchy thing. Many scribbles, many marks on it. Ever since fish not come to us.. Rest of the snowfang think this is bad magic. To not believe this is foolish. But I not able to just get rid of bad magic.'
You say, 'What magic thing?'
Snowfang fisher says 'To cast away is not something we can do. Snowfang believe bad magic thrown away just make worse magic. Only way to get rid of badness is for friend to bring gift offering. Offering that means much to snowfang. If that is done magic is broken by the giving.'
You say, 'What offering?'
Snowfang fisher says 'Offering must be true and strong. To trade for anything else would be an insult to the spirits. If you want you can bring me true strong wooden pole and fine string for new pole. That would be true strong gift and maybe enough to break bad evil on this thing we find.'
You must go to the Wakening Land to get these items. "Strong Wooden Branch" drops rarely from holgreshes. "Strong Raptor Gut" drops rarely from tigeraptors.
Give these two items to the fisher.
Snowfang fisher sniffs the offering and seems to relax. 'Very good, very worthy. You take this magic thing, with you maybe this evil is broken.' Before he can hand you the parchment a roar explodes from the ocean and a gigantic dark shadow slams into the ice floe.
An "Enraged walrus" spawns and immediately attacks you. The gnoll fishermen will join in the battle against the walrus.
After killing it, "an agitated snowfang" spawns in its place.
You say, 'Hail, an agitated snowfang'
an agitated snowfang shivers and growls to itself. 'Much thanks must I give ______. Furless one still wants magic thing, after all the troubles? Say quickly. Much pain from attack. Must go, shaman help.'
You say, 'I want the magic thing.'
It gives you "Chapter P" and immediately despawns.
Go back to Ami and give her Chapter P.
Ami bounces excitedly. 'Oh! I've been needing this!' She reads over the pages intently. 'Uh. Pirate - A sea robber.' She scratches her head. 'I totally forgot we were supposed to be robbing people. Put down yer weapons and hand over yer platinum and gold ya port side bilge suckers! Heh. This is great. Thank you, ______' She grins and goes back to reading.
She gives you a "Pirate Grammar Manual."
Go see Nilham the Chef in a nearby igloo.
You say, 'Hail, Nilham the Chef'
Nilham the Chef says 'Ahoy, ______. Welcome ta the brig. I didn't get ta the 'B' section of my piratisms manual so I'm not sure what a brig is but I'm guessin' it means 'really small place without enough food or water.' So, ya here ta stay or just visitin'?'
Give Nilham the manual.
Nilham the Chef looks at you with a gleam in his eye. 'Wow. Ya actually got one. Thanks, mate! Here, you can have my cuffs. I'm tired of 'em and they're startin' ta chafe.' He flips through the book with a grin. 'B - Bilgewater. Barnacle brained blunderhead. Blast yer ballast...' Nilham happily reads through the book.
Reward: Ice Forged Shackles
The Lost Map (Normal): You say, 'Hail, Ami'
Ami flips through a few pages of a small book, reading intently before answering you. 'Ye scurvy dog. I'll strike yer colors 'fore ya can put me on a gibbet. Take that, ya crimp!' She flips through a few more pages then smiles at you. 'Arrrr!'
You say, 'Ye scurvy dog!'
Ami grins. 'Hey, that's pretty good. You did it without a book too. Nice to meet you. I'm the bosun here.'
You say, 'You're a Bosun?'
Ami says 'Yup. I think it means I'm in charge of the flag cause that's what the Cap'n told me to take care of. I'm the one who made our symbol, so I get to protect it. I even got my own copy of the grammar manual so I can practice my pirate speech.'
You say, 'What kind of grammar manual?'
Ami nods and shows you the book for a moment. 'We don't have many of them and usually we share. My book is missing a chapter, though.'
You say, 'What chapter is missing?'
Ami nods. 'A mate of mine borrowed the P Chapter to draw a map on but then he went and got himself lost. I've memorized the rest of the book but that chapter. Oh, well, I guess I can get by with what I have. Walk the mizenmast and batten down the boom!' She looks at you proudly. 'Good, eh? I'm one of the best pirates we have.'
Find the lost pirate at +6360, +1005.
You say, 'Hail, a lost pirate'
a lost pirate twitches and growls a little. 'Arrr. Grrr. Ahoy, mate. The name's Teep.' He shivers and you notice a little drool at the corner of his mouth. 'Ya ain't lost out here too, are ya?'
You say, 'I am not lost.'
a lost pirate grins and stares through you with a mad gleam in his eye. 'Hehehe. Yah, yer lost aren't ya. I can tell from the crazy sound o' yer voice. Too bad we ain't got me map. The map would lead us straight back ta camp. Yah, that it would, boyo.'
You say, 'What map?'
a lost pirate nods. 'After we got ourselves stuck on this island I got it in me head to draw up a map so none o' the crew would ever get lost. So I set myself to explorin' and drawin'. Now the map is gone. Too bad, too, cause it was a map o' the whole place, not just the first island, but a bunch o' parts.' Mention of the map seems to have sobered him up a bit.
You say, 'Gone?'
a lost pirate says 'Aye. I lost the first part walkin' through the woods. Some big wolf bowled me over 'n started to tear me book up. 'Fore I could stop, it he ran off. I'm not knowin' why. The second part, heh. That was worse.'
You say, 'What happened to the second part?'
a lost pirate shivers. 'The second piece I lost, well, that put the fear o' Bertox in me. I was still in the woods at the time. It was at night. Cold and crisp, it was. I heard a flappin' and squawkin' above me and I knew my time was near. So I up and jumped into a snow drift. Soon as that, somethin' swooped down where I was and started tearin' my camp up. When I came back, I saw nothin' but feathers and me torn up book. Another quarter o' me book was gone.'
You say, 'What happened to the third part?'
a lost pirate says 'Huh? Oh, the other pieces? I gave a piece to a mate o' mine 'cause he wanted to help. Nice enough fella but he couldn't find north from a hole in the hull. Last I saw he wandered off towards the bridge. The last piece went away after I stumbled and fell down here. After a while I didn't care, so I threw it in the water. It floated off. Seems like everythin' that goes wrong ta me is because of some danged wild animal. I can't quite figger it.'
You say, 'I will find the parts.'
a lost pirate laughs. 'Its yer funeral, boyo. I'm not even sure they're readable. Oh, well. Here, take this. It's the cover of the book I was puttin' the map in. If ya get the first four parts, put em in there. If ya get the fifth, just go give it ta Ami the way ya find it. Hey, if ya find em all, come get me so I can find me way back. I'm thinkin' I'd like ta go back now.'
You say, 'Where is chapter P?'
a lost pirate stares at the water. 'I'm rememberin' that. Yah. Ami's book. Thats what I drew, erm, the fifth part o'n. It got lost in the ocean too.' He looks at you. 'Yer wantin' ta go out and find all o' these pieces?'
You receive a Map Binding, a four-slot container. Find the four parts to the map:
1. The first piece of the map can be looted off of a Dire Wolf Stalker, a rare spawn in Iceclad Ocean.
2. The second piece is looted from Stormfeather - again, a rare spawn in Iceclad.
3. The third piece is found via a mini-quest. Kill Tizmaks in Great Divide until you have four of the NO DROP Yakman Parts. Hand all four parts to Bloodmaw in the same zone. Bloodmaw will despawn after you give him the parts. After this happens, say, 'I want the map please' to the gnome captive. He'll give you the third piece.
4. The fourth piece of the map is found on Lodizal.
Combine the four pieces in your container to craft Pieces of an Iceclad Map give this to the lost pirate:
a lost pirate grins widely and slaps you on the arm. 'Har har! You're crazier than I am. And since I know that I must not be that crazy after all. Ahh, I haven't felt this good in ages..' He shuffles the pieces and jots down a few notes here and there. 'There, now it's really finished. Let's get us outta here. Hold this fer me.' As he starts to try and crawl up the hill, a sleek figure darts towards him.

You say, 'What do you mean, bad fish?'
Captain Nalot says 'That means I'm callin ya ugly as a piece o' whale blubber but twice as bad smellin, ya son of a water treadin _____. Yer about as smart as the slime we use ta patch our boat hull, aren't ya?'
You say, 'Where is this boat of yours?'
Captain Nalot says 'Arrrr. So we ain't got a boat right now. What's that got ta do with anythin'? Just cause we ain't got a boat, or a way to sail the waters, or even know how ta sail, don't mean we aren't crusty and dangerous. Just watch yerself cause we're mean.'
You say, 'You're mean?'
Captain Nalot says 'Thats right! We're mean, nasty, devious 'n cruel. We'll knock ya down, bite yer knees, and steal yer money. Arrr. We won't always say please and thank you either! Just remember that and don't be tryin' anyhin' funny.'
You say, 'What do you consider funny?'
Captain Nalot says 'Uh, I dunno what funny stuff. No one's ever asked that one. You know, just be nice ta everyone I guess. Think ya can do that?'
You say, 'What about the map?'
Captain Nalot says 'The map? What map? Oh wait, that thing I made ol' what's-his-name do ta get los... uh adventure. Uh, sure. If yer wantin' we've got a job for ya. If ya do it ya get ta be a real member o' me crew.'
You say, 'I want to be a real member of your crew.'
Captain Nalot says 'That means ya get ta take orders from me and ya get ta use fancy words like bilge hoistin' land blubbing beller yellied, and more. Anyways, we needed a map so me lads would stop gettin' lost, but the lad I sent out ain't come back with it. I even sent out a search party but I ain't heard from them either. If ya find 'im get the map and get back 'ere.'
Give the completed map to Captain Nalot.
Captain Nalot squints and then knocks hard on the metal half of his face to get his eye back in adjustment.. 'Arrr. This is perfect. Har! Now we can be plannin' our pillagin' and plunderin' all proper like. Good work, _____!' Captain Nalot slaps you on the back and accidentally drops his eyepatch.

The Mighty Garou (Normal): Balix Misteyes is at /loc 2917, 3218, 215.29.
You say, 'Hail, Balix Misteyes'
Balix Misteyes says 'Outlander, hail. Share the fire. I have little but if you are in need then take what I have. If you need nothing then take nothing. Balix my name is. Shaman to the tribe of Snowfangs.'
You say, 'What Shaman?'
Balix Misteyes says 'Yes. Shaman. I listen to the land to tell my tribe what the winds and waters will bring. Good or bad. Little good and much bad these days. That is why I sit here listening.'
You say, 'Listening to what?'
Balix Misteyes says 'I am on spirit quest. No food do I take. All day I listen only. I wait until the land tells me how to help my tribe. Maybe nothing will happen but I cannot fail to try. Hard is this. Many dangerous creatures are near but none come close so far.'
You say, 'What dangerous creatures?'
Balix Misteyes growls under his breath. 'Most dangerous is the Garou. Evil spirit of the land. It was made from long dead wolf spirits when the tower spread its dark magics through the islands. It preys on the Snowfang. We have tried to hunt it but always it is too strong.'
You say, 'I will hunt it for you.'
Balix Misteyes says 'If you want to try, you can hunt Garou. If you kill, spread its soul to the air for cleansing, then all is good. Its skin is powerful from the magics that made it. With a cougar's bone, fresh with the spirit of earth, I can make you powerful talisman in thanks for your service to Snowfangs.'
The cougar bone is called Bloody Cougar Bone and drops off a named cougar named Midnight. Midnight is black rather than the white of normal snow cougars and is a pretty common spawn around the Tower of Frozen Shadow.
Skin of the Garou can be found on a named spawn named Garou, who appears to be some sort of gnoll effected by lycanthropy.
After handing Balix Misteyes the Skin of the Garou and Bloody Cougar Bone:
Balix Misteyes pulls its lips back as it scratches and cuts the skin, working it around the bloody puma bone. 'Good for hitting or for talisman. Powerful thing to hold. All Snowfang thank you. Now, all of us are safer.'
You receive Garou Bone Club. There are no faction adjustments for turning in this quest. Reward: Garou Bone Club

Quests for Iceclad Ocean
Animal Skin Armor (Incomplete): Ergrez Shortpaw may be found at 1071.65, 2417.22, 35.11.Ergrez Shortpaw makes armor for his village and is willing to make some for you if you bring him twice what it takes to make the armor. Each piece seems to take a combination of two animal pelts and two of some other item.
I don't yet know the combinations or the rewards. If you discover one and find out the reward, please hit the send a correction button and e-mail in the combination and the reward.
Once I know the reward, I will split off each piece into its own quest description.
These are the ones I think are valid so far:
- Low Quality Cougar Fur and Fatty Walrus Meat
- Medium Quality Cougar Fur and Cutting Shells
- Dire Wolf Fur and Dark Bindings
This one I know the result of:
- High Quality Cougar Fur and Mammoth Meat -- See the quest Cougarskin Mask under Iceclad Ocean Quests.
Need /loc of quest mob, all dialogues, faction hits if any, quest items involved, rewards, etc.
Captain Nalot's Triple Strength Rum (Normal): NOTE: In order to complete this quest you will need the ability to Forage OR possibly have someone multiquest a foraged item for you (Multiquest not confirmed to work).
On the docks arriving into Iceclad are two gnomes, Nelet Durzit and Rendap.
You say, 'Hail, Nelet Durzit'
Nelet Durzit sneezes and wipes his hand across his nose. 'H-h-h-i.'
Rendap says, 'Nelet don't talk much anymore. All this cold really gets to 'im.'
You say, 'what cold'
Nelet Durzit talks through clenched, chattering teeth. 'Y-y-yeah. C-cursed cold. Sh-sh-shot of gnomish pirate triple strength rum's all I need ta fix me up, Rendap tells me. N-n-nilham lost it all, though.'
Inside one of the igloos in the gnome camp in Iceclad you can find Nilham the Chef.
You say, 'Hail, Nilham the Chef'
Nilham the Chef says, 'Ahoy, Bobbybick. Welcome ta the brig. I didn't get ta the 'B' section of my piratisms manual so I'm not sure what a brig is but I'm guessin' it means 'really small place without enough food or water.' So, ya here ta stay or just visitin'?'
Unknown how to coax the information out of Nilham from here as to the rum.
You say, 'what crate'
Nilham the Chef says, 'I'll be an aft port if I think anyone will ever see the crate and key again. If by some act o' Prexus you do, then take them ta the Cap'n. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to see it. Just don't remind him I'm here cause he might let me go and make me work again.'
You say, 'What cat'
Nilham the Chef says, 'That was a nasty cat. I dun think it was after us, though. I think it just smelled the fresh chunk of wooly rhino jerky I had. It didn't do anythin' but knock us over. I guess that's what it likes, walrus. After it knocked us over it slipped away towards the bridge island like a ghostly mist. I'm thinkin' I saw a glimmer in its maw while it was runnin' off.'
The Crate
Gnomish deserter can be found in the middle of Great Divide, on top of a mountain that sits above the wurm caves. He is sitting down at the peak and can be easy to miss.
You say, 'Hail, gnomish deserter'
Gnomish deserter smiles at you and nods congenially. 'Hullo there. Nice ta meet ya.' He moves to shake your hand and then seems to remember that his hand is currently frozen to a very heavy, very solid hunk of metal shaped somewhat like a box.
You say, 'what is that box'
Gnomish deserter says, 'Huh? Box? Where's a box? Heh. I don't see a box.'
You say, 'how did you get your hand stuck'
Gnomish deserter says, 'Erm. Well ya see. One day I was on guard duty and a huge white cat knocked me over. It looked like it was running away towards the bridge island. Anyways, I fell into the water. I guess I passed out because next thing I knew I was over near the gnolls laying on top of this huge box. It's then that I made the decision.'
You say, 'what decision'
Gnomish deserter says, 'To leave. I'm really tired of this pirate stuff. Captain Nalot said it was gonna be great fun and an adventure but all I've seen is a lot of biscuits, slush water, and guard duty. So I'm here.'
You say, 'how did you get here'
Gnomish deserter says, 'Yup. This isn't such a bad spot. It's nice and peaceful. I can see for miles and every once in a while someone like you drops by to talk. There's no guard duty and I don't have to say 'Arrrr' anymore. That really starts to hurt your throat, you know. The only problem I have anymore is my hand frozen to this box. If ya find a way to fix it let me know.'
Find Pythic Urson in Thurgadin. He can be located inside the large bar in the northeast of the zone. You will need high Amiably faction for him to respond to hails but turnins can be done as low as dubious.
You say, 'Hail, Pythic Urson'
Pythic Urson turns and looks at you. 'What?' He goes back to drinking his ale and resting.
You say, 'what ale'
Pythic Urson says, 'Its a fine Coldain ale. Good for quenchin yer thirst after a hard day of minin. The ales name doesnt matter cause ya wouldnt be able to hold it down anyways. Har har.'
You say, 'what mining'
Pythic Urson says, 'Aye. Mining. Im a miner. Thats a hard one to put together eh? Yer about as sharp as me hammer and as quick as the mining crud on me boots.'
You say, 'what crud'
Pythic Urson says, 'Mining crud, thats what I said. Mixture o' velium dust, mud, and whatever other junk is left on the floor after I be minin. Hard as a giant to fight off me boots.'
You say, 'boots'
Pythic Urson says, 'There used ta be a mixture we used ta clean off our boots but that was when we had more warriors ta get ta different places. Now it aint possible so the crud just keeps buildin up on me boots.'
You say, 'what warriors to get to different places'
Pythic Urson says, 'If you think ya can get what's needed then go ahead. The mixture used ta be made out of saps and acidic oozes. You find some and bring it to me maybe I can slap it together.'
The items Pythic needs are Bladder of Acidic Ooze which is a small side quest out of Cobalt Scar and Fresh Tree Sap which can be foraged in either Wakening Lands or Plane of Growth.
Find Qarrgy Scallopgobbler, an othmir located on the beach of Cobalt Scar.
Qarrgy Scallopgobbler sets down several large crustacean shells covered in foreign runes, then extends his large, coarse hands in a gesture of friendship. 'I am pleased to see friendly visitors to our villages. I am the head craftsman of the village. The crustacean shell armor worn by the warriors of our village was crafted by me and by my apprentices. I will craft other materials as well when they are available.'
You say, 'what crustacean shell armor'
Qarrgy Scallopgobbler says 'It takes awhile to make each piece. It has to go through a long burning process to clean away all old meat and dirt. Then it needs shaping and etching with runes.
You say, 'what burning process'
Qarrgy Scallopgobbler says 'Usually I use a mixture made from the livers of barraccudas. Their liquids are very strong and make good burning liquid. If you want some you need to bring me two barraccuda livers.
Barracuda Livers are uncommon/rare drops off the "a coldwater barracuda" located just off the shores of Cobalt Scar. You will need two of them.
Give Qarrgy TWO Barracuda Livers.
Qarrgy Scallopgobbler slams a knife into the various livers and squeezes out all of their various goos and juices. Eventually he seperates a bit of it and pours it into a protective bladder. 'Excellent work. This is a good catch. Here, you have sack of ooze. Its good for burning things off or etching metals. Thank you for your help.'
Receive: Bladder of Acidic Ooze.
Return to Pythic Urson in Thurgadin once you have both the Ooze and Tree Sap.
Give the Bladder of Acidic Ooze Ooze and Fresh Tree Sap to Pythic.
Pythic Urson laughs at you and then takes the sap and bladder. He mixes the two together and then adds something from a small pourch he carries. With a quick sizzle he pours some on his boots and the crud melts away. 'See that? Didn't do anything but get rid of the crud. This stuff is great. It doesn't burn yer skin or valuables. Here ya go, you can have the rest.'
Receive: Dissolving Liquid
Return to the gnomish deserter in Great Divide
Give the Dissolving Liquid to the gnomish deserter.
gnomish deserter grins and pours the ooze on his hand and the box. You hear a burning sizzle and then the box thumps onto the ground. 'Ow! Ow! Take it! Hah. I never thought I would get rid of that piece of...'
The Key
For this part you will need FOUR (4) Fresh Chunk of Wooly Rhino, these are rare drops from wooly rhinos in Eastern Wastes.
Mist Panther can be found in Wakening Lands, a bit south of the lake in the center. NOTE: This is not one of the many "haze panthers" that are found throughout the zone.
Give 4 Fresh Chunk of Wooly Rhino to the Mist Panther.

You say, 'what conversation from your wife'
Sojan the Sleepless says, 'Since ya like talkin', then fine. You wanna do me a favor? Go get me some wolf fur earmuffs so I don't gotta listen to ya, or her, any more.'
Errgriz is a gnoll that can be found in one of the huts southwest of Tower of Frozen Shadow in Iceclad Ocean.
You say, 'Hail, Errgriz'
Errgriz says 'Errrr. You come for master, learning like me?'
You say, 'What are you learning?'
Errgriz says 'I am learning ways of skinning and tailoring. None left but the master so I must learn to help. For now I only clean the furs.'
You say, 'You clean furs?'
Errgriz says 'Yes. I clean the furs and then the master makes things from them.'
You say, 'What things do you make?'
Errgriz says 'I wish I could make things. Headcoverings, to keep cold from head is what I want to make. I think I ready but not able to make until I get furs. Master says to find skin of high quality, thick and strong, but I have no training in hunting.'
High Quality Dire Wolf Fur are uncommon drops from Dire Wolves throughout Velious.
Give Errgriz a High Quality Dire Wolf Fur.
Errgriz starts to cut and scrape the furs. He growls softly as he works and his master watches his progress. 'Grrr. Much too small. I fail. I not ready to work on my own. Sorry to waste your time. Here, take what I made. Maybe you can find use for it.'
Receive: Wolf Fur Earcovers
Return to Sojan the Sleepless back at the gnome camp.
Give the Wolf Fur Earcovers to Sojan.
Sojan the Sleepless stares at you and then laughs before putting on the earmuffs. As he moves around, blissfully protected from the noise, a fine chain slips from his coat. 'Hey! Look at that! What a fine chain! It looks familiar but I can't tell how. Oh, well, you can have it. It looks like it could be used to fill gaps or if needed to repair another similar metal object. I can do that if you ever find need.
Receive: Fine Gold Chain
Give Sojan the Fine Gold Chain and the Golden Broken Key.
Sojan the Sleepless puts a tiny eyeglass up to his eye and studies the key and chain. "Aye, this looks like the perfect metal to fix this key. Gimmie just a moment." He uses fine and minute tools to pick and push the chain and key over a fire. "Ha!" Don't say I ain't never done anythin for ya. There ya go, Bobbybick."

With both the Rum Box Key and the Locked Rum Box you are almost done. Head to Captain Nalot in one of the igloos opposite of Sojan in Iceclad.

Receive: Capt. Nalot's Triple Strength Rum
Return to Nelet Durzit down by the docks in Iceclad.
Give Nelet the Capt. Nalot's Triple Strength Rum
Nelet Durzit greedily swigs rum from the jug. After a few drinks, he starts to gag and make faces. 'Oh geez! Rendap told me this stuff was strong, but this tastes like clockwork grease! It burns but now I feel - ugh.
Nelet doubles over and passes out on the ground. As he falls over, a small silver trinket slips out of his pocket.
Renday points and laughs as Nelet falls over. "That'll put hair on yer ears, boy. Suck it up. Least ya ain't shiverin' o' cold anymore, eh?"

You say, 'Ye scurvy dog!'
Ami grins. 'Hey, that's pretty good. You did it without a book too. Nice to meet you. I'm the bosun here.'
You say, 'What's a bosun?'
Ami says 'Yup. I think it means I'm in charge of the flag cause that's what the Cap'n told me to take care of. I'm the one who made our symbol, so I get to protect it. I even got my own copy of the grammar manual so I can practice my pirate speech.'
You say, 'What grammar manual?'
Ami nods and shows you the book for a moment. 'We don't have many of them and usually we share. My book is missing a chapter, though.'
You say, 'What chapter are you missing?'
Ami nods. 'A mate of mine borrowed the P Chapter to draw a map on but then he went and got himself lost. I've memorized the rest of the book but that chapter. Oh, well, I guess I can get by with what I have. Walk the mizenmast and batten down the boom!' She looks at you proudly. 'Good, eh? I'm one of the best pirates we have.'
Now go find "a lost pirate" on the northeast side of the island (hug the coast north from the dock).
You say, 'Hail, a lost pirate'
a lost pirate twitches and growls a little. 'Arrr. Grrr. Ahoy, mate. The name's Teep.' He shivers and you notice a little drool at the corner of his mouth. 'Ya ain't lost out here too, are ya?'
You say, 'I am not lost.'
a lost pirate grins and stares through you with a mad gleam in his eye. 'Hehehe. Yah, yer lost aren't ya. I can tell from the crazy sound o' yer voice. Too bad we ain't got me map. The map would lead us straight back ta camp. Yah, that it would, boyo.'
You say, 'What map?'
a lost pirate nods. 'After we got ourselves stuck on this island I got it in me head to draw up a map so none o' the crew would ever get lost. So I set myself to explorin' and drawin'. Now the map is gone. Too bad, too, cause it was a map o' the whole place, not just the first island, but a bunch o' parts.' Mention of the map seems to have sobered him up a bit.
[This is for a related quest to recover The Lost Map.]
You say, 'Ami wants Chapter P.'
a lost pirate stares at the water. 'I'm rememberin' that. Yah. Ami's book. Thats what I drew, erm, the fifth part o'n. It got lost in the ocean too.' He looks at you. 'Yer wantin' ta go out and find all o' these pieces?'
[Not sure what the next trigger phrase is, but go find "Snowfang fisher" on an ice floe south of the Tower of Frozen Shadow.]
You say, 'Hail, Snowfang fisher'
Snowfang fisher says 'Furless one wants something with snowfang? You here to help with curse?'
You say, 'What curse?'
Snowfang fisher growls as the other fisher-gnolls bark at the mention of the curse. 'Some days ago we found flat, strong, stretchy thing. Many scribbles, many marks on it. Ever since fish not come to us.. Rest of the snowfang think this is bad magic. To not believe this is foolish. But I not able to just get rid of bad magic.'
You say, 'What magic thing?'
Snowfang fisher says 'To cast away is not something we can do. Snowfang believe bad magic thrown away just make worse magic. Only way to get rid of badness is for friend to bring gift offering. Offering that means much to snowfang. If that is done magic is broken by the giving.'
You say, 'What offering?'
Snowfang fisher says 'Offering must be true and strong. To trade for anything else would be an insult to the spirits. If you want you can bring me true strong wooden pole and fine string for new pole. That would be true strong gift and maybe enough to break bad evil on this thing we find.'
You must go to the Wakening Land to get these items. "Strong Wooden Branch" drops rarely from holgreshes. "Strong Raptor Gut" drops rarely from tigeraptors.
Give these two items to the fisher.
Snowfang fisher sniffs the offering and seems to relax. 'Very good, very worthy. You take this magic thing, with you maybe this evil is broken.' Before he can hand you the parchment a roar explodes from the ocean and a gigantic dark shadow slams into the ice floe.
An "Enraged walrus" spawns and immediately attacks you. The gnoll fishermen will join in the battle against the walrus.
After killing it, "an agitated snowfang" spawns in its place.
You say, 'Hail, an agitated snowfang'
an agitated snowfang shivers and growls to itself. 'Much thanks must I give ______. Furless one still wants magic thing, after all the troubles? Say quickly. Much pain from attack. Must go, shaman help.'
You say, 'I want the magic thing.'
It gives you "Chapter P" and immediately despawns.
Go back to Ami and give her Chapter P.
Ami bounces excitedly. 'Oh! I've been needing this!' She reads over the pages intently. 'Uh. Pirate - A sea robber.' She scratches her head. 'I totally forgot we were supposed to be robbing people. Put down yer weapons and hand over yer platinum and gold ya port side bilge suckers! Heh. This is great. Thank you, ______' She grins and goes back to reading.
She gives you a "Pirate Grammar Manual."
Go see Nilham the Chef in a nearby igloo.
You say, 'Hail, Nilham the Chef'
Nilham the Chef says 'Ahoy, ______. Welcome ta the brig. I didn't get ta the 'B' section of my piratisms manual so I'm not sure what a brig is but I'm guessin' it means 'really small place without enough food or water.' So, ya here ta stay or just visitin'?'
Give Nilham the manual.
Nilham the Chef looks at you with a gleam in his eye. 'Wow. Ya actually got one. Thanks, mate! Here, you can have my cuffs. I'm tired of 'em and they're startin' ta chafe.' He flips through the book with a grin. 'B - Bilgewater. Barnacle brained blunderhead. Blast yer ballast...' Nilham happily reads through the book.
Reward: Ice Forged Shackles
The Lost Map (Normal): You say, 'Hail, Ami'
Ami flips through a few pages of a small book, reading intently before answering you. 'Ye scurvy dog. I'll strike yer colors 'fore ya can put me on a gibbet. Take that, ya crimp!' She flips through a few more pages then smiles at you. 'Arrrr!'
You say, 'Ye scurvy dog!'
Ami grins. 'Hey, that's pretty good. You did it without a book too. Nice to meet you. I'm the bosun here.'
You say, 'You're a Bosun?'
Ami says 'Yup. I think it means I'm in charge of the flag cause that's what the Cap'n told me to take care of. I'm the one who made our symbol, so I get to protect it. I even got my own copy of the grammar manual so I can practice my pirate speech.'
You say, 'What kind of grammar manual?'
Ami nods and shows you the book for a moment. 'We don't have many of them and usually we share. My book is missing a chapter, though.'
You say, 'What chapter is missing?'
Ami nods. 'A mate of mine borrowed the P Chapter to draw a map on but then he went and got himself lost. I've memorized the rest of the book but that chapter. Oh, well, I guess I can get by with what I have. Walk the mizenmast and batten down the boom!' She looks at you proudly. 'Good, eh? I'm one of the best pirates we have.'
Find the lost pirate at +6360, +1005.
You say, 'Hail, a lost pirate'
a lost pirate twitches and growls a little. 'Arrr. Grrr. Ahoy, mate. The name's Teep.' He shivers and you notice a little drool at the corner of his mouth. 'Ya ain't lost out here too, are ya?'
You say, 'I am not lost.'
a lost pirate grins and stares through you with a mad gleam in his eye. 'Hehehe. Yah, yer lost aren't ya. I can tell from the crazy sound o' yer voice. Too bad we ain't got me map. The map would lead us straight back ta camp. Yah, that it would, boyo.'
You say, 'What map?'
a lost pirate nods. 'After we got ourselves stuck on this island I got it in me head to draw up a map so none o' the crew would ever get lost. So I set myself to explorin' and drawin'. Now the map is gone. Too bad, too, cause it was a map o' the whole place, not just the first island, but a bunch o' parts.' Mention of the map seems to have sobered him up a bit.
You say, 'Gone?'
a lost pirate says 'Aye. I lost the first part walkin' through the woods. Some big wolf bowled me over 'n started to tear me book up. 'Fore I could stop, it he ran off. I'm not knowin' why. The second part, heh. That was worse.'
You say, 'What happened to the second part?'
a lost pirate shivers. 'The second piece I lost, well, that put the fear o' Bertox in me. I was still in the woods at the time. It was at night. Cold and crisp, it was. I heard a flappin' and squawkin' above me and I knew my time was near. So I up and jumped into a snow drift. Soon as that, somethin' swooped down where I was and started tearin' my camp up. When I came back, I saw nothin' but feathers and me torn up book. Another quarter o' me book was gone.'
You say, 'What happened to the third part?'
a lost pirate says 'Huh? Oh, the other pieces? I gave a piece to a mate o' mine 'cause he wanted to help. Nice enough fella but he couldn't find north from a hole in the hull. Last I saw he wandered off towards the bridge. The last piece went away after I stumbled and fell down here. After a while I didn't care, so I threw it in the water. It floated off. Seems like everythin' that goes wrong ta me is because of some danged wild animal. I can't quite figger it.'
You say, 'I will find the parts.'
a lost pirate laughs. 'Its yer funeral, boyo. I'm not even sure they're readable. Oh, well. Here, take this. It's the cover of the book I was puttin' the map in. If ya get the first four parts, put em in there. If ya get the fifth, just go give it ta Ami the way ya find it. Hey, if ya find em all, come get me so I can find me way back. I'm thinkin' I'd like ta go back now.'
You say, 'Where is chapter P?'
a lost pirate stares at the water. 'I'm rememberin' that. Yah. Ami's book. Thats what I drew, erm, the fifth part o'n. It got lost in the ocean too.' He looks at you. 'Yer wantin' ta go out and find all o' these pieces?'
You receive a Map Binding, a four-slot container. Find the four parts to the map:
1. The first piece of the map can be looted off of a Dire Wolf Stalker, a rare spawn in Iceclad Ocean.
2. The second piece is looted from Stormfeather - again, a rare spawn in Iceclad.
3. The third piece is found via a mini-quest. Kill Tizmaks in Great Divide until you have four of the NO DROP Yakman Parts. Hand all four parts to Bloodmaw in the same zone. Bloodmaw will despawn after you give him the parts. After this happens, say, 'I want the map please' to the gnome captive. He'll give you the third piece.
4. The fourth piece of the map is found on Lodizal.
Combine the four pieces in your container to craft Pieces of an Iceclad Map give this to the lost pirate:
a lost pirate grins widely and slaps you on the arm. 'Har har! You're crazier than I am. And since I know that I must not be that crazy after all. Ahh, I haven't felt this good in ages..' He shuffles the pieces and jots down a few notes here and there. 'There, now it's really finished. Let's get us outta here. Hold this fer me.' As he starts to try and crawl up the hill, a sleek figure darts towards him.
You gain experience!!
Receive the Completed Map of Iceclad in return.
A rabid snow cougar spawns and attacks. Whether you kill it or not does not seem to matter. Head to Captain Nalot.
You say, 'Hail, Captain Nalot'
Captain Nalot squints at you through one eye, the other covered by a metallic eyepatch. 'Garrr. What `ave we here? Another beller yellied land blubber eh? By the looks of ye someones mudder didnt know when ta throw a bad fish back. HAR HAR!'
You say, 'What do you mean, bad fish?'
Captain Nalot says 'That means I'm callin ya ugly as a piece o' whale blubber but twice as bad smellin, ya son of a water treadin _____. Yer about as smart as the slime we use ta patch our boat hull, aren't ya?'
You say, 'Where is this boat of yours?'
Captain Nalot says 'Arrrr. So we ain't got a boat right now. What's that got ta do with anythin'? Just cause we ain't got a boat, or a way to sail the waters, or even know how ta sail, don't mean we aren't crusty and dangerous. Just watch yerself cause we're mean.'
You say, 'You're mean?'
Captain Nalot says 'Thats right! We're mean, nasty, devious 'n cruel. We'll knock ya down, bite yer knees, and steal yer money. Arrr. We won't always say please and thank you either! Just remember that and don't be tryin' anyhin' funny.'
You say, 'What do you consider funny?'
Captain Nalot says 'Uh, I dunno what funny stuff. No one's ever asked that one. You know, just be nice ta everyone I guess. Think ya can do that?'
You say, 'What about the map?'
Captain Nalot says 'The map? What map? Oh wait, that thing I made ol' what's-his-name do ta get los... uh adventure. Uh, sure. If yer wantin' we've got a job for ya. If ya do it ya get ta be a real member o' me crew.'
You say, 'I want to be a real member of your crew.'
Captain Nalot says 'That means ya get ta take orders from me and ya get ta use fancy words like bilge hoistin' land blubbing beller yellied, and more. Anyways, we needed a map so me lads would stop gettin' lost, but the lad I sent out ain't come back with it. I even sent out a search party but I ain't heard from them either. If ya find 'im get the map and get back 'ere.'
Give the completed map to Captain Nalot.
Captain Nalot squints and then knocks hard on the metal half of his face to get his eye back in adjustment.. 'Arrr. This is perfect. Har! Now we can be plannin' our pillagin' and plunderin' all proper like. Good work, _____!' Captain Nalot slaps you on the back and accidentally drops his eyepatch. Being a proper pirate now you conveniently forget to mention it to him.
You gain experience!!
Receive Eyepatch of Plunder. Reward: Eyepatch of Plunder
The Mighty Garou (Normal): Balix Misteyes is at /loc 2917, 3218, 215.29.
You say, 'Hail, Balix Misteyes'
Balix Misteyes says 'Outlander, hail. Share the fire. I have little but if you are in need then take what I have. If you need nothing then take nothing. Balix my name is. Shaman to the tribe of Snowfangs.'
You say, 'What Shaman?'
Balix Misteyes says 'Yes. Shaman. I listen to the land to tell my tribe what the winds and waters will bring. Good or bad. Little good and much bad these days. That is why I sit here listening.'
You say, 'Listening to what?'
Balix Misteyes says 'I am on spirit quest. No food do I take. All day I listen only. I wait until the land tells me how to help my tribe. Maybe nothing will happen but I cannot fail to try. Hard is this. Many dangerous creatures are near but none come close so far.'
You say, 'What dangerous creatures?'
Balix Misteyes growls under his breath. 'Most dangerous is the Garou. Evil spirit of the land. It was made from long dead wolf spirits when the tower spread its dark magics through the islands. It preys on the Snowfang. We have tried to hunt it but always it is too strong.'
You say, 'I will hunt it for you.'
Balix Misteyes says 'If you want to try, you can hunt Garou. If you kill, spread its soul to the air for cleansing, then all is good. Its skin is powerful from the magics that made it. With a cougar's bone, fresh with the spirit of earth, I can make you powerful talisman in thanks for your service to Snowfangs.'
The cougar bone is called Bloody Cougar Bone and drops off a named cougar named Midnight. Midnight is black rather than the white of normal snow cougars and is a pretty common spawn around the Tower of Frozen Shadow.
Skin of the Garou can be found on a named spawn named Garou, who appears to be some sort of gnoll effected by lycanthropy.
After handing Balix Misteyes the Skin of the Garou and Bloody Cougar Bone:
Balix Misteyes pulls its lips back as it scratches and cuts the skin, working it around the bloody puma bone. 'Good for hitting or for talisman. Powerful thing to hold. All Snowfang thank you. Now, all of us are safer.'
You receive Garou Bone Club. There are no faction adjustments for turning in this quest. Reward: Garou Bone Club
The Mighty Snowfang Hero (Normal): You say, 'Hail, Keref Spiritspear'

You say, 'What new home?'
Keref Spiritspear says 'Many go north, not see again. Many family go, Keref family go. Aroooooooo. Someday Keref become brave, like mighty hero Groumshak. Keref go find pack to north.'
You say, 'Who is Groumshak?'
Keref Spiritspear says 'Groumshak mighty snowfang hero. Groumshak make battle with furless one fifty paws high. When Groumshak return to tribe, vengeful winter fall. If you bring Keref mighty harpoon like Groumshak, then Keref become hero like Groumshak. Will give totem of great protection for thanks.'
To get the spear Keref Spiritspear wants, you need to talk to Grizlin Bloodfang in the Snow Fang camp. He asks you to bring him a Strong Wood (Runed Totem Staff), a Strong Bone (Whale Bone), and a Strong Rope (Tinkered Rope).
The Runed Totem Staff drops off gnolls on Antonica.
The Whale Bone is looted off sharks in Cobalt Scar.
For the Tinkered Rope, you must visit Ritap in Icelcad.
