Aid Grimel Quest - rough notes

[Demorgoth]

Off the top of my head...

Air bow String
Air arachnid Silk
Air arachnid Silk
clump of wax
(tailoring - planar/tanaan, ??? trivial)

wind cams
jar of clockwork grease
Wind cam bolts
wind cam gears
(tinkering - toolbox, ??? trivial)

Wind cam bolts & wind cam gears
wind metal
cam parts mold
file
(smithing - tanaan forge, ??? trivial)

Signet Featherwood Bow
Air Bow String
Air bow string
Featherwood bow staff
Wind Cam
Wind Cam
Marked Signet
(fletching - planar fletching kit, ??? trivial)

[Khoren Stonefall]

Something simple that a lot of people aren't aware of is that when you take an appropriate metal, a file, and a cam parts mold and smith them, you do not get an item called "so-and-so cam parts," but rather you get one each of two items, called "so-and-so cam bolts," and "so-and-so cam gears." Together, these are the two cam parts that go into every cam combine.

[Taraddar]

The signet bow is:

Signet Featherwood Bow
Magic Item Lore Item No Drop
Slot Range
Wt: 3.0
Size: Large
Class: None
Race: None

The combine is:
Air bow String
---Air arachnid Silk
---Air arachnid Silk
---clump of wax
Featherwood bow staff
2 wind cams
---jar of clockwork grease
---wind cam bolts
---wind cam gears
------wind metal
------cam parts mold
------file
Marked Signet

I would assume that each lvl is a combine. IE final combine is air bow string, Featherwood bow staff, 2 wind cams and marked signet. Air bow string is 2 air arachnis silk and clump of wax in a tayloring kit. Wind cam gears and bolts are made from wind metal, cam parts mold and file in a forge. The wind cams are then made from the jar of grease and the bolds and gears in a feltching kite. At least thats how i'd read it.

Aaaaah...

Together, these are the two cam parts that go into every cam combine.

That explains it. If you look at innovative gears/bolts, they're a little odd in comparison.

You say, 'I am skilled with a fletching knife'
[Mon Jan 20 22:44:02 2003] Aid Grimel says 'Aye I can see you are skilled with the fletching knife Gorgin. It is good too, I need to replace Councilman Taldarius's bow from Plane of Air. Combine a planing tool, two wind metal bow cams, an air arachnid silk string, a featherwood staff and the signet. I hope the bow will be up to his standards, he sure loved his old bow.'
[Mon Jan 20 22:44:05 2003] You say, 'I am a Master Chef'
[Mon Jan 20 22:44:06 2003] Aid Grimel says 'When we adventure in the Planes there is only one meal that keeps us in top fighting shape. It is called a Bristlebane's Party Platter. Unfortunately the platter is awkward and not easy to adventure with so you need to place them in this satchel. I know not how to make the Platter, a rather nice female Halfling cleric always used to deliver them to us but I heard she was crushed by a Regrua while hunting for a rare component in the Plane of Water. Brell bless her soul! Combine three of the platters and the signet inside the satchel.'
[Mon Jan 20 22:44:10 2003] You say, 'I am skilled with a needle'
[Mon Jan 20 22:44:11 2003] Aid Grimel says 'With your ability I think you would have trouble mending a pair of socks! Seek me out when you are more skilled.'

Killed Solusek tonight so just showing what he'll tell me now, the Tailoring part is because I'm a 215 tailor.

Double Post from Post Bug sorry

DenMom, please don't take offence to this but the quest board is a little behind so I compiled as much data as I could find from the boards and Magelo. Feel free to take this for the quest session and if anyone has more info or a correction for me please let me know! Thank you all and keep up the great work 1750 club! (Or people close to it )

You say, 'I am skilled with the needle'
Aid Grimel says 'I appreciate the help ________. I need a new tunic made for Councilman Taldarius. Last trip through the Plane of Disease, one of those flies spit mucus on him and it dripped through his armor seams! The result was a gooey mess that ate away all the leather underneath. It was a blessing he was wearing something under all that metal! Combine three firesilk swatches, a vial of purified mana, an emblem of fire, a firestrand curing agent, a tunic pattern and the signet. Bring it to me when you have completed it.'

Aid Grimel inspects the tunic. 'Good work ________. This will definitely serve Councilman Taldarius well. Here take this! If you have skills with a fletching knife I may have a job for you to do.'

drop off reruga

got a crab meat (tradable) (not a food item) off a reruga, just one drop off many kills... dunno if this is for the recipe...

[Forty]

I've picked up a variety of items from Plane of Water.

Kraken meat (non-food, stackable)
Crab meat (non-food, non-stackable)
Triloun meat (non-food, stackable)
Fish eggs (foraged stackable non-food(?))

All of which are tradeable, guess it's time to start working the different recipes to see what we get.

edit: Add Kelp to the foraged list Kelp is marked as a food and is stackable.

[Catranizi]

*edited after rereading a little more of the complete thread*

Regarding part 2 (brewnig) flags...

Myself
Not killed Bertox
Killed MM
Killed TT

Grimel would tell me my skills with brewing (180) were not enough.

Guildmate

Not killed Bertox
Killed MM
Not killed TT

Grimel would tell him to go get more knowledge of the planes.

TT necessary for the brewing part

The write up from my original post is a tad behind because I can no longer edit it due to the post bug. Just an FYI. I do have up to Fletching somewhat covered though.

[EnfinitiStarr8]

Crab Cracker
This looks like one of the items you might need for the Baking part of the quest. It says something about needing meat from regrua claws and that's how you do it, from what Rebecca says just that might make the platter, maybe the recipe plus the Signet will lead the proper item? I can only hope, I really want to see the next one! Good luck all!

[Shortyrez]

Just to add. Final combine for stage 1 was not trivial at 241 blacksmithing for me tonight. (bp + 2 black diamonds of nightmare)

[Kronepsis]

Shortyrez: Noted and changed.

Catranizi: Unfortunately, the thread this one is based off of is now completely obliterated. However, your information directly conflicts with with the information that was confirmed by multiple people in that thread (It's a tad pointless for Denmother to cut and paste multiple "It's Mithaniel Marr" or "Bertoxxulous is for smithing" proofs in a summary) so I would rather wait and see if a sizeable number of folks seem to be running into that conclusion as well before modifying a confirmed flag.

[Kellan]

Trivials

The blacksmithing step's final combine is not trivial at 250 skill.

Twice-brewed Kaladim Constitutional is not trivial at 250 skill.
The brewing step's final combine is not trivial at 250 skill, and requires THREE twice-brewed Kaladim Constitutionals plus Hardened Leather Signet (not two as listed on the Aid Grimel quest posting).

Faceted Blue Diamond is not trivial at 250 skill.
Bar of Enchanted Pure Velium is not trivial at 250 skill.

Sol Ro must die.
