    Iksar Cultural Beginnings

    In Easter Cabilis at loc of: 848, -439, 5 Is a NPC named Sieeva Koan. Upom hailing, this is the conversation:

    You say, 'Hail, Sieeva Koan'

    Sieeva Koan says 'Hello, (name). Returning home from conquests abroad, I hope. It fills me with pride to see there are still Iksar willing to venture out into Norrath and crusade for our empire once again. Too many of us have holed up in this city, dreaming of the [glory] days of the Iksar empire.'

    You say, 'glory'

    Sieeva Koan says 'From what I have heard things were much different then, our military more refined, our craftsmanship more detailed. I have been studying the writings in the ruins of old Cabilis. They are helping me piece together the [techniques] of our ancestors.'

    You say, 'techniques'

    Sieeva Koan says 'From what I have learned, our craftsmanship has regressed over the years. In fact, I've uncovered some armor patterns and symbol patterns within the ruins that put our current designs to shame. Would you be interested in learning the [cultural armor patterns] and [cultural symbol patterns]? They will take time to master, but if you are patient, they will serve you well.'

    You say, 'cultural armor patterns'

    Sieeva Koan says 'Excellent. To make you a pattern book I will need a patch of bloodgill scales for the cover, a scroll for the pages, a bloodstone ring for the clasp, and a cat's eye agate to grind down and make a salve which will protect and preserve the finished product. I have heard these items can be found in the Swamp of No Hope and the Lake of Ill Omen. Bring them to me and the pattern book shall be yours.'

    At this point, I went into the Lake of Ill Omen and found these items from:

    Bloodgill Scales(no drop) - By Veksar entrance, a bloodgill goblin
    A Scroll(no drop, rent) - In Sarnak Fort, a Darnak Adherant
    A Bloodstone Ring - off random trash goblins
    Cat's Eye Agate - I bought in Eastern Cab, at JC vendor

    Upon turn in:

    Sieeva Koan says 'Excellent work, (name). Here is your pattern book. May you use this to restore glory to our kind!'
    Your faction standing with Cabilis Residents got better.
    Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis could not possibly get any better.
    You gain experience!!

    I received 'Ancestral Iksar Armor' book

    Upon reading the book, you need:
    This Book
    a Large Bottle of Ink
    a Roll of Plain Parchment
    a Quill
    a Compacted Backpack
    Book Binding

    All can be bought in Cabilis from tailoring vendors. I will update when I find more info.

        Data required

        Everyone is doing a good job of collecting the data for these books for which I thank you. However, I want to push you for a little more information please.

        1. Quest giver. Please make sure that you post name, location and zone of the quest giver. The in game 'find' command should enable you to quickly find your local tradeskill quest giver. Look carefully when you use that find button: Is there more than one tradeskill quest giver listed? If so, please try speaking with both, and post your results. If one won't speak with you, please post your class, level, race and religion so that we can work out what requirements that there might be.

        2. There is a suggestion (from Wanumbus) that some of these book quests may be skill limited. I think that actually this is a level limitation. If you get a "come back and see me another time when you have got better" type of message, please post your level and skills so that we can work out any restrictions that there might be.

              Please note change to this book. Also, the boxed text in step 4 says Elder Panda, step five says Bamboo Shoot, and step six says return the Bamboo Shoot to Gorion Telld'mare. The above list is correct, he wants the Panda Skin. I have /bugged this.

              Onto the next book.

              I am a level 70 Erudite Magician with 155 in Tailoring and 131 in Smithing, so I was able to receive all quests at once.

                  Let me re-emphasize, the orc ribcage for the gnomish culture journeyman's symbol quest (Orc Expidition) _has_ to be looted of an emissary! I looted ribcages off other orcs, and the task system didn't recognize it. I kept killing orcs, and finally found a ribcage on an emissary and the task was completed as soon as I looted it.

                  I cast Identify on the three that didn't work, and on the one that finally did, and there was no difference. Item lore: Orc Ribcage.

                  /shrug

                  Just for completeness, I turned in the wrong ribcage, but he still accepted it:
                  Vidi takes the rib cage from you and throws it into the water. 'Nasty thing, I just wanted to make sure you'd really killed them. Maybe now they'll think twice before interfering with the great Vidi Cogsworhty! And of course here are the patterns I mentioned.'

                          Erudite Cultural Armor - Erudin

                          Did the Pattern Book Quest from Gorion Telld'mare

                          Collect from the Warrens:
                          Belt pouch - uncommon drop off kobolds
                          Kobold Finger bone (drops as Kobold Finger Bones) - uncommon drop of kobolds
                          Bathide Wristband - Rare drop off mischievious(sic) batling
                          Bamboo Wakizashi Bo - rare drop off High Shaman Drogik (lvl 20 ish) in King area

                          Give all 4 items separated to Gorion.

                          his text:

                          "Excellent work Manina. Here are the armor patterns worn by our ancestors. May they serve you well. It will take me some time to decipher the entirety of these patterns. Return to me later and we'll talk of what more can be gleaned from these artifacts."

                          You get a book called "Ancestral Erudite Armor". The text reads:

                          Long ago, the Erudite race formed a single united society, one dedicated to knowledge, prosperity and cultural advancement. Although most remnants of this time period were wiped out by the violent wars between Erudin and Paineel, a few scattered artifacts survived to this day. One Erudite researcher was able to piece together enough of these transcripts to compile the book you now hold in your hands. It is a comprehensive study of the advanced armor patterns created by the ancestors of the Erudites. Although the researcher's motives for recovering and proliferating these armor designs remain unclear, his efforts were likely inspired by the rising tensions across Norrath...and what many believe to be the inevitable Erudite involvement in the coming conflict.

                          The patterns in this book can be copied many times, but eventually they will wear out and you can tell that if you use the patterns enough you will need to replace the book.

                          To create pattern for tailoring armor templates based on these patterns you will need this book, a large bottle of ink, a roll of plain parchment, a quill and a compacted backpack to hold the patterns you will make. You'll also need a book binding to do the work.

                          If you wish to use the patterns to make molds you'll need a kiln to work in as well as a high quality firing sheet, sculpting tools, a huge block of clay and a compacted backpack to hold the molds when you're done."
