An Ancient Shield Quest/ Highwaymen DropFollow
2 posts
Hello, I just leveled to 15th level and gathered a large group to hunt highwaymen on antonica near the covered bridge.
If you dont know what im talking about, I doubt you can help me :P Anyways. I got a "ruined dirty shield" of some sort from a chest after killing one of them. Turns out the shield is a quest to clean it to restore it to it's former glory.
The first task is to take the item to Crater Pond to rinse some of the dirt and mud off. After you do this you examine the shield again and it then gives you a choice to "Examine the dirt". After you look at it, It says you need to find some way of cleaning the etchings, then hints that maybe the bristles on badger pelts would be the key. I have around 8-10 pelts from the dens. and the quest still has not updated. If anyone knows anything about the situation then I would greatly appreciate some feedback. I have been stuck on this quest and noone in game knows of the quest. Might be a first.

Kinda sounds like the isle quest for cleaning the pirates rusty sword. took that to a mender
One of the things I found out - from working the Trade-house assignments is:
If you are supposed to collect say 15 Malacite pieces and you already have 5 in the bank or on you when you get the assignment - They Don't count toward the collect. That really really sucks.
I have tried to put in bank and remove one at a time, put in sachel and then back in bank then back in sachel . . . one at a time etc. The only way around this is to purchase new ones . . . one at a time - purchase more and you risk them not being counted.
Anyway; my point is this. If you already had the pelts - then likely the quest calling for them will NOT count what you already have. None of the quests allow this - for good reason too. It keeps packrats (folks that fill their bank with harvested items till the bank is gonna explode) from collecting huge amounts of stuff then running all over the place getting quests done in very little time.
If you could do that it takes a huge amount away from the game (in my opinion). It sets EQII up like any Nintendo fixed game. This way - you get ansy to complete a quest - get distracted and get a headache and get all grousy . . . just like a too busy schedule in real life!! Weeeee!!

You can get a friend to pass them to you one at a time and then they do count for the quest - at least for the wholesaler tasks - probably not for real quests.
Wherever I go - there I am.

You can also take an equipped item and drop it onto the "malachite" and it will give you a +1 count to the quest counter. This will let those 5 you have in the bank count.
