Since the other topic is getting unwieldy, I'm posting a new one which has focus on the Tradeskill part of this quest. First a quick assembly of what we know so far ...
*** NOTE: PLEASE KEEP ANY DISCUSSION NOT RELATED TO THE TRADESKILL PORTION OF THIS QUEST IN THE OTHER THREAD! ***
Either find Sir Artanis in North Freeport, or Qrixat Du`voy in the Cleric Guild in Neriak 3rd Gate. I'm not posting the text from Qrixat, but it's similar to the one below and also yields you the note.
You say, 'Hail, Sir Artanis'
You say, 'I received your summons'
Sir Artanis says ''Yes ________, thank you for responding with such haste. The Knights of Marr recently captured a Teir'Dal wizard who under intense questioning revealed a variety of disturbing matters. First, he worships Solusek Ro, which is no crime, but considering the nearby temple's past associations with the Burning Dead, specifically Marnek about whom you recently delivered revelations, then his other information seems even more dire. Secondly, he has admitted that he was in Freeport attempting to contact the leaders of the Dismal Rage for he understood that they have nearly completed a phylactery, a device that holds the mortal soul of a lich. In light of this, we ask that you visit the Oracle of K'Arnon in the Ocean of Tears to learn whatever you can about the nature of these phylacteries, including the means to create one so that we better know how to destroy them. This letter will serve as proof that you come in the name of the Knights of Marr.''
He hands you a note. Head to OoT and find the Oracle.
You say, 'Hail, Oracle of K`Arnon'
Oracle of K`Arnon says 'Greetings, ________, I am the Oracle of K'Arnon. Do you quest for [knowledge] yourself, or do you offer that which I [seek]?'
Hand in the Note.
Oracle of K`Arnon says ''You walk a dangerous path if you seek to construct a phylactery. I can indeed assist you, but you must both pay my price of knowledge for knowledge and prove to me that you are capable of controlling the forces you might unleash. I seek six volumes of magical power and knowledge that are spread across the commonly known lands of Norrath and even beyond, in the planes. For each you bring me I shall instruct you on the next step in the process and provide you with one of the required pieces. Completing each step will require acquiring even more items. The process is time-consuming, but the power of a phylactery is such that it will benefit even a bearer who does not aspire to lichdom. When you are certain you are ready to begin, talk to my assistant, Jeyular and hand him. . . hmmm, where shall we start? I think it would be fitting to begin with a tome by the great lich himself, Miragul.'
BOOK 1 - TOME OF MIRAGUL
This Tome drops from an Ancient Construct, who spawns in The Hole. The mob has placeholders in the form of Ruined Constructs.
An auspicious beginning. To reward your start, I will enlighten you with the secret of palatable mana, which is required to create a phylactery, but also has independent uses as well. Brew it like wine, but include a vial of mana as created by the ablest enchanters plus a pinch of this special sugar as well as grapes that can be grown only by the halflings of Rivervale. When you are ready to continue with the next step, return with the history of the Di`Zok and give it to me.
The Assistant gives you

The Halfling you need is called "epicurean halfling". You can find him outside the wall in Misty Thicket, just walk through the gate when coming from Rivervale and turn right. He is standing at loc 885, 85.
You say, 'Hail, epicurean halfling'
epicurean halfling says ''Hmmm. . . What? Oh sorry, I was snoozing. I was up throughout last night harvesting my [grapes] by the light of the moon.''
You say, 'What about your grapes?'
epicurean halfling says ''Why, my magic moon-harvested grapes, of course. I will give you some to sample if you would [help] me.''
You say, 'What help do you need?'
epicurean halfling says ''The specially-prepared soil that grows the vines for my grapes is becoming muddy again. I need more of the magical sand from the deserts of Ro to mix with my soil. Bring me that and I will give you some grapes.''
At this point I handed him the Sands of Ro I found stashed away on an alt somewhere.
epicurean halfling says ''Thank you so much. Here are the grapes I promised you. They may not look like much, but master brewers tell me they are required for many magical wines, including some sought by the most powerful magic-workers.''
He gave me this in return:
Moon-Harvested Grapes

BOOK 2 - HISTORY OF THE DI'ZOK
The History of the Di'Zok drops from Loremaster Piza'Tak, who can be found in the Chardok Library, on the ground floor. He has placeholders (including another named mob) and does not always drop the book. The spawnspot is next to the door in front of which is the pit trap that drops you down to the room of Overking Bathezid.
Excellent work. This book is not easily come by. This next step is the first of creating components for the phylactery iteself, the silk insert. This is the base inside of the box and it must be made of durable stone silk to withstand the energies within a phylactery. When you are ready to continue with the next step, return the long-lost Journal of Aataltaal to me. His tomb is rumored to be in the Hills of Shade, and while I doubt this is true, rumor depends on some truths so somewhere nearby is where to discover this book.

BOOK 3 - JOURNAL OF AATALTAAL
The Journal of Aataltaal drops from Estrella of Gloomwater, who spawns inside Kedge Keep. She is a 12-hour spawn and does not always drop the Journal.
Impressive, young one. I truly did not believe you would locate this volume. My instructions for constructing a phylactery shall continue. The third step requires the construction of the soul net -- the silken binding for inside the lid of the phylactery. This requires delicate and balanced threading that only the ablest fletchers can perform. To create this mystic mesh, you'll need the silk of a spider that itself deals with the immaterial as well as shadewood clips to attach the soul net to the lid of the phylactery. You must also use the glue I have given to you. When you are ready to continue, bring the book guarded by yet another spider, this one found in the Planes of Power.
