8th Shawl MQ

[tsdiesel]

Please refrain from cursing me indefinitely, as I know this has been asked before, but would someone please provide some clarification on how an 8th Shawl can be MQ'd?

I have a cleric with the 8th shawl and an enchanter (on a seperate account) with the 7th shawl. Can i simply get another box and make another set of armor with my cleric to turn in to the general or do I need to remake a 7th shawl?

Please include details, so I don't screw this up.

Thanks much,

I think you are out of luck with your cleric who already has the 8th shawl, since you cannot request another empty issue kit from the Dain.

How you multiquest the last shawl goes like this: any time after you combine the Empty Coldain Issue Kit and before you give the Dain the Coldain Standard Issue Kit, you must get another Empty Coldain Issue Kit from Loremaster Solstrin. Finish the Iceclad walk on the first character so you do not have any lore item conflicts.

Now, with the first character (let's call him Player X), make another Coldain Standard Issue Kit. The second person (Player Y) goes through the quest text normally, turning in their original Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl for the approved version. X gives the Dain the Coldain Standard Issue Kit, and recieves the Approved Issuing Box. Y asks the Dain, "what orders?" and gets the Expedition Orders.

Both now head to Icecland where General Bragmur is shivering his his undergarments. X hands over the armor, and then Y gives the orders. Bragmur marches off to the gnome pirate camp, while you run frantically around trying to protect him from those fiendish giants. When the Avatar of Below spawns, Y must give his approved Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl to him.

Tada! New 8th shawl for Player Y, without all the smithing fuss.

Thanks for the hastey explanation, I guess I have to farm the components for the padding after all, DOH!

In theory, you could get the cleric another 7th shawl and multiquest it. I would think it should work.

I've also been a party to the following type of MQ (of sorts): one person turning in the papers/armor and someone else getting the shawl at the end.

A year ago or os, we had my guild and another guild at the General's spawn spot at the same time. We let them go first, but they sat for 3 hours. At the 4th hour mark we pushed them to go or we would trigger. They started but were unprepared and wiped on the 1st attack; we rezzed, they medded and went again, and they wiped on the 2nd attack.

At that point they told us to go ahead and finish the quest, so we did, and at the end, my guildie turned in her 7th shawl and got the 8th.

A couple weeks later, we went back for the other guild and triggered, and ran with them through the quest so they could win and get their shawl as well.
