Fletching
On the fletching part, is it safe to say that the same time periods correspond to day and night, both when removing the shrouds and placing the boxes? aka i can remove the 3rd shroud from 5am-7pm?
Also, when choosing the box in the last step, I am a little confused as to how you are supposed to add the hourly angle. I noticed in a writeup somebody said at 6am open box 1, but it seems to me since you start on box 1 at the start of the day (5am) and add the hourly angle after that, 6am should be something different. For instance at 6am, would I add 1 hour and open box 2, or would I add 23 hours and open box 3? The wording on that is a little ambiguous.

Unless you already combined and/or clicked some of your boxes, I suggest you follow this walkthrough, originally posted by Zolina:
. Move to Hills of Shade (at loc 2480, 760, 50) with the 3 boxes, a fletching kit, 1x Celestial Essence, 1x Vodka and 1x Juice of Quellious. Have a free inventory slot. Drink something to make sure the Juice of Quellious is not wasted.
. Wait until 12 AM (Midnight)
. Combine one box with Celestial Essence in a fletching kit
. Combine one box with Vodka in a fletching kit
. Wait until Noon. While you wait, read and practice instructions below to be sure to do the right thing.
. At Noon, combine one box with Juice of Quellious in a fletching kit
. Move the first Shadow Box into your empty inventory slot.
. Move south of the altar, face north, right-click the first shadow box.
. Move the second shadow box into your empty inventory slot.
. Move west of the altar, face east, right-click the second shadow box.
. Move the third shadow box into your empty inventory slot.
. Move east of the altar, face west, right-click the third shadow box.
. You should now have 3 black boxes sitting on the altar. Target the middle shadow box, /open it and loot.Niphreedil ~ Shadows of Doom ~ Antonius Bayle

Originally posted by Poohjure View PostThe problem isnt that it is better then Pre-SoF gear. We allready know that SoF is massively better then anything we've seen in the game, It's just that in comparison's sake...Every major tradeskills quest I can think of the reward has been leaps and bounds greater then the other groupable loot.
PoP
Signet of Might 25ac/145hp (Melee PoP tradeskill reward)
vs
Gleaming Hoop of the Silverwing 24ac/90hp (BEST Groupable PoP Ear I could find)
SoF
Eron's Jewelry 30ac/470hp (Melee SoF tradeskill reward)
vs
Jagged Icy Loop 28ac/480hp (BEST Groupable SoF Ear I could find)
So from the best groupable PoP ear to tradeskill reward we saw a 61% increase in hp and a 4% increase in ac.
So based on this...Eron's Jewelry should be...775hp and 30ac.
Throughout EQ I'd be willing to say that only about 15% of the population would put force the effort for this quest. Currently, I know of 6 members of the 2100 club, that are not going to bother with this "Waste of time".
Hands down, the risk vs. reward on this is out of whack.
Suggestions:
Since the ac is never going to be what we want it to be, give us a click that is worthwhile enough to make people jealous enough to perhaps explore a part of the game they have said no to since day one. It worked with LoN. As soon as people saw items that they wanted, they began to dump hundreds and hundreds of dollars into it.
--Poohjure
Compare that to getting crystallos keyed in a few hours and getting 500hp groupable loot.
This need to be 600hp plus a decent clicky plus a minor ac boost. In my humble opinion, raid gear is 1000hp plus in this expansion 600 for this item is not asking too much.
By the way I stopped reading on page 7

FYI: The last step must be bugged, because I went to the far NE room in Steam Factory (not the room with the 4 generators).. and I hit combine with a FULL pop of mobs and it worked first tryNiphreedil ~ Shadows of Doom ~ Antonius Bayle

Steam Factory - Combine
No matter where I went in NE room, could not get 'close enough to the static'. We had a group there for a couple hours and kept the room clear, probably tried to combine over a hundred times, never got an activity message... just that I should get closer to the static.. I crawled up under the spinning rings and everything I could think of. Any Suggestions?Enchantur - Erudite - Saryrn
300 - Jewelcraft, Fletching, Brewing, Smithing, Tailoring, Pottery, Baking, Research, all trophies (15 pct).

I didnt fail, but a 250 Skill combine can fail. So there is always a chance to fail the last combine at any step, where you have to restart the complete quest? Its never possible to say: Got this step done. Great iam save!
Or is something given back, so you have to restart only the actual part of the quest?

If you fail the worst that should happen to you is that you have to go farm some parts specific to that step again.Ngreth Thergn

I went back to Eron and hailed him and nothing.
The recipe was activated before I turn in (appear in mw book) but when I turn in the 2nd part to Eron, when he gives me back the item, it dfoes not recognize anymore the 2nd aprt in my recipe, adn the recipe is already scribed....
Do I have to redo the whole task ? sighNgreth Thergn
