PoP arrows?

You say, 'what challenge ?'
Shaldyn Thunderhoof smiles. 'The arrow of course. Mundane materials would not have been sufficient to hold the enchantments necessary to get this bow to perform as he requested. I had Rhionn gather the materials I needed, the claw of a black drake, feathers from the Spiroc Lord, and a dracolich bone for the shaft. I had no idea what he would [use it for].

If these items are combined in a fletching kit, then the items will have 'This item can be used in Tradeskills' tag (unless its already a weapon or armor or something like that).

Rhionn's text:

Rhionn Leafsblade raises his head from his hands, it appears he was weeping. 'Murderer! I am a [murderer].'

Rhionn Leafsblade sighs heavily, wiping his face with his sleeve. 'I am a ranger as I am sure you could have guessed. I spent my entire life serving Karana, I was a loyal husband, I loved my [wife] with all of my heart.'

Rhionn Leafsblade says 'My wife was beautiful, a wonder to behold. A friend came to me one day to tell me that my wife was killed by a band of ruffians. I was heartbroken and blind from rage. The bandit leader, I was told, was a man by the name of Filland Rallis. I knew [Filland], he was once a noble paladin, but he fell from his God's graces.'

Rhionn Leafsblade says 'Filland never lost his honor, I'm not sure what action he performed to fall, but he had never committed an ignoble act. I was shocked that he would take to murder; all of his crimes were stealing from those who had excess, and giving to those that were needy. He was a [hero] to many of us.'

Rhionn Leafsblade says 'Yes, I have heard bards even still sing of his laurels. He was renowned for his skill with a blade, and his mithril armor was legendary, and heirloom of his family name. Without investigation or research I assumed that the rumors of my wife's death were accurate and I set to [slay her killer].'

Rhionn Leafsblade says 'It was to be no easy task. I was no match for him in close quarters, there were few that were when he held a sword in his hands. I knew that he would be no match for my bowmanship. So I went to a friend, a [centaur] I had done much business with, and had him make a magical arrow, one capable of piercing Filland's armor.'

Rhionn Leafsblade says 'Shaldyn Thunderhoof, the greatest fletcher Norrath has ever known. He sent me far and wide to collect components for the arrow. When I returned he assembled it for me. I never let him know what the arrow was to be used for, I felt better not to burden him with my sorrows. Then I set out to [kill Filland]'

Rhionn Leafsblade says 'I went to his hideout, he was out when I arrived. I awaited his arrival on the roof of his home. When he returned with his caravan I let my arrow fly, as soon as I saw the gleam from his armor. It flew true, as all of Shaldyn's arrows did, and struck Filland in the heart. He was dead before he hit the ground. Moments after his death I saw my wife emerge from his wagon, he was returning from [her rescue].'

Rhionn Leafsblade begins weeping again, 'Aye, she was kidnapped by true bandits and I killed her savior. I deserve to be here, this is the fate I made for myself.'


I tried asking him about the different components Shaldyn had mentioned, but he didnt' say anything.

[jack96jill]

perhaps we should see mr thunderhoof :P and ask him about the arrow

edit: doh, hehe didnt read the post again close enough..., also it appears that it is more like a quest, you turn in the pieces to thunderhoof and he makes the arrow.

where is thunderhoof found?, i though it was south karana but he is not listed on illa's, it could be wrong i need to check it out

[lonewylfe]

He's also a prisoner in PoJ.

Didn't think to ask Rhionn about his bow, and checking my log I mispelled all the arrow components when I asked him ops:

[jack96jill]

thanks, when i get home i'll have to run to poj and check things out. will post if i stumble across anything (am usually pretty good on hitting quest text)

Claw of a Black Drake....

Was thinking about this quest and the location of the quest givers homes. South Karana would be a good place to start looking. What zone is close to there that has an abundance of drakes... namely black drakes? Rathe Mnts. I ventured there to see if I could find anything unusual. I began near the HG area by killing Onyx Drakes, Obsidian Drakes and any other drake I could find. Had a named pop... Shardwing. He dropped a cloak and this:
Shardwing Arrow
Lore
12 dmg 0 del 100 rng.

Could this possibly be a piece to solving the puzzle? Yes, it's an arrow itself, but what if....

Anyone have thoughts to this?

[darksisco007]

making parts

There is always the possibility that you need to make the items from other materials. The black drake claw for example, maybe the claw is used in teh arrow tip and it needs to be removed somehow, or it needs to be manufactured in some other way.
Also, anyone found any possible items in the more advanced planes ie elemental?

[ragnarz]

I have seen nothing in the elemental planes that fit the component descriptions.

[jack96jill]

i was told by someone that they had once seen the aviak, lightbringer (lvl 50 something aviak in TD) drop a feather, but i have yet to find him up to kick his arse and cant confirm/deny this....but the text does say from THE spiroc lord. I will have to try and bait my guild into hitting up posky for finishing up some epics. They were also in fear, but dracho wasnt up.

<edit> Doh. ops:

[jack96jill]

found this on lucy

http://lucy.fnord.net/item.html?id=54046 (used in a new hate quest, but could also be used in this who knows)

also found some more feathers to try out or eliminate as other use

Aviak Feather(two kinds, one looks like the sol foraged feather gold)
-checking posts on alakazams, some say a feather drops off a rare named in sk, Kinari Morawk.

Blood Encrusted Feather ( bloodraven in pon prob not it)

Flame Encased Feather (not found on ala's item search)

Prismatic Feather(not found on ala's item search)

Silken Tail Feather (bloodraven in pon prob not it)

Smoldering Phoenix Feather(not found on ala's item search)

I also had an idea for the claw of a black drake, but i truly hope soe wasnt that stupid to make Zlandicars Talisman(for sleepers tome key) as part of a recipie or another quest.

[lonewylfe]

Has anybody tried talking to the halfelf in PoJ yet? I keep forgetting to, and when I do go he's dead.
I've seen something on merchants a lot lately that has the Zlandicar talisman graphic, but forgot what it's called =\
