Need Help With the Prayer Shawl Quest, PleaseFollow

1. Not sure about this one. But on my server in January there were some issues with Thurgadin npcs. Sometimes the zone repopped as though someone had failed the ring war (Coldain corpses everywhere). This was happening even when no one was running the event.

2. Dain/Chamberlain is confusing the first time you go there. After crossing the moat, go through the front gate then right. Somewhere on the east wall of the first floor are some stairs. Go up. I believe you have to go up two floors (been a while for me). The next stairwell is near the first one on the 2nd floor. On the 3rd floor you should appear in a large chamber, and there will be a throne to the north. The Dain will either be there, or in his chambers behind the throne (unless he was recently killed). The Chamberlain is near the throne.

Did you get the "quest completed" sound effect when you did the turn in?


I know one guildie of mine recently did the quest on an alt, and somewhere along the way an npc at his shawl. He petitioned and they gave it back to him. I would try handing in to the Loremaster one more time. Then Icewell and see what happens. Good luck.

*Edit - I vaguely remember one of the npc's in Thurg wouldn't respond unless you were sitting in front of him. Could be the Loremaster? Try no illusion, no lev, no invis, no shrink, and then sit in front of him and hail. If he responds then turn in. If you don't need to be sitting for the step it will still work. I can't remember if this was the npc that needed that.

Odd that the loremaster isn't responding. Hopefully the petition clears things up. Best of luck! I love that quest line.

The new quest Still Hungry

for the upgraded shawl: one version, there are several



Even tradeskill haters like me have to look at doing that...

Way back when, this quest was HUGE with almost everyone I knew in EQ, which spanned many years and two guilds. I recall guildies buying tons of fish to begin skilling up in cooking, then out hunting for skins, etc. In my second guild I participated in the final battle so one of my guild mates could get his final shawl. That was the closest to a raid I've been in; we had several full groups to accomplish that fight. I imagine now it could be moloed or done with just a couple of people. :/ (Of course the highest level at that time was 60-65).

Getting that shawl was considered one of the major achievements of the game at the time. Now, sadly, the stats on the shawl are pitiful by today's standards but, being Old School EQ at heart, completing this quest will still be very meaningful to me.

Thank you, snailish, for posting the links to the new quests.

Great to hear :) Let us know how it goes.

I'm so glad this worked out :) I remember that last step. Farming Geonids in Wakening lands to get gems to etch lol. Fun times. I really miss quests like this.

Sort of related - I had the 2nd last Coldain ring in my bank for years, and a couple of guildies and I finally ran the ring war recently. That brought back some memories. Ah Velious...

Good luck on the last step.

You can easily handle it at that level. A small word of advice: The General you escort can be accidentally targetted, aggroed, caught in AEs etc. But as long as you are in melee range of the ambushers they should attack you first. The General regens fairly quickly if he does take some damage. At 80 you will probably kill the ambush mobs in 2 or 3 nukes at most.

The most recent Iceclad maps from mapfiend have the ambush points labelled on them as well.

I'm sure you will do fine :)
