I have a few questions.
1) I received the Orc and Skelly Mastery spell as I lvl'd. I love it... I just get to spite them down with great prejudice with big(ger) damage. I have started the Zombie quest and have started getting the components for the Ghost mastery quest. When, if ever, do I get the Ghost or Zombie mastery spell?
2) Although I have the Orc Mastery spell, and I have killed just under 1,400 orcs, I still have not gotten the orc spirit. I have gotten countless eyes, ears, noses, shins,etc, but no spirit. Any suggested places, times, techniques to hunting for the spirit?
3) I have many of the skeleton parts, and the skelly mastery spell, but I am evil (on Freeport side)... is there a planned method of getting to the Stronghold to get the quest for skelly mastery? or is it just not worth the hassle?
4) Speaking of worth it: what is the reward you get for such "mastery" quests?
I think those are all my questions... I think there are more rattling around in my head, but those are a good start.

The 1st time you chose Orc or Gnoll - Which ever you chose you never get the other one. Same goes the 2nd time when you chose Zombie/Ghost/Skeleton which ever you chose kiss the others good bye. This was done to individulize peoples toon and not everyone will be the same.

All the above could be null and void when the big patch hits tho.

Thanks for the detailed answer Sbs. That helps. I think if the orc spirit is not fixed after the big patch I will delete it and try it again... I get so many of all the other drops, it should not take long to at least get back to where I am now.
Do these statues/trophies reduce add to the status or whatever it is that reduces your room rate? I really don't know what I am talking about except that I think i read/heard that there are some items you can get for your room that would reduce the amount you have to pay for the room. (not that 5 silver is a lot... I am just cheap!)

Sorry to rezz an old thread, but I had a quesiton on Goblin mastery. Can anyone confirm that the tome for the Goblin mastery quest still drops? I heard last night that it does not. Any help is appreciated.
Where do these mastery quests begin?
I have completed both the Gnoll and Skeleton. I currently have lore items taking up room in my bank for the Fairy and Giant, but I am unable to find out where to find the quest starting books. I looked at the Quest Lookup, but none were listed.
I tried to do a search on these forums, but I am given an error due to too many people on. (I have been a premium subscriber for 3+ years).
Any help would be appreaciated.
Good Hunting!

Remember, the slow blade penetrates the shield.
Remember, the slow blade penetrates the shield.
The mastery quests begin by acquiring or clicking on a book, for instance, "Know your Gnolls," or "Skeletons." The Skelly book is a clickable item in the Stormhold Library. Look here: http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?&eq2quest=769
I have the gnoll book on my ranger but cannot remember where I got it. Alla says its found in the Gnollslayer keep, so I assume it is another clicky one.
Sorry - I do not have Giant and Fairy either and do not know where to get them.

Ok here is a summary of everything I have found from beta and in the game live so far about the Creature Mastery. I will start with dispelling the rumors (false hoods), and then I will give the facts of what is real. I would like help to identify the locations, rewards and any additional information about these quests. I posted a thread to gather this information for those that have the knowledge to help out...
Rumors/ Falsehoods
Creature Mastery is tied to learning a creatures language
Not true. Those are separate quests that are either bought or looted from drops of creatures in certain zones.
Creature Mastery is tied to special attacks against those kinds of creatures
Not true. Those are gained at certain levels as you advance in your adventure classes. Such as Orc and Gnoll at level 12
Creature Mastery is tied to Hunter and Slayer Titles that are worn
Not true. Those titles are gain by the number of a certain kind of creature that you have slain. Hunter of “what ever” is given at 500 kills and Slayer of “what ever” are given at 5000 kills.
Truths/ Facts
Rewards for finishing the Mastery Quests
The first is a Book of the lore of that kind of creature that you can place in your house to fill up bookshelves.
The second is a weapon that you can place on your walls for all to see.
The third is experience for finishing the quest.
Rewards are given as soon as you complete the quest. So insure that you have 2 slots of free inventory space if you are close to finishing it.
Creature Mastery drops
Once you have obtained a Book from its location, and have examined it, you will have to gather certain parts of those creatures. All books are No-Drop and can not be traded. Some drop and can be traded or sold on the Market. Some parts are auto loot items that come as you kill that kind of creature. The drop rate of any of the items is random and rare loot. There is no set limit that you need to kill. There are those that are luck that have finished a creature mastery in as little kills at 10, and there are those that have killed well over 1000 of a creature and still have not gotten all the parts to finish the quest.

Hey everyone!
There seems to be some general confusion regarding the special tactics, the lore and legends quests, and the slayer titles.
First of all - the slayer titles have nothing to do with any other quests - they are something that all characters have a chance to do regardless of selecting their enemy mastery, or lore and legend quests.
Secondly, the spirit items are rare, but they do not drop as an item that needs to be examined - they will trigger off killing creatures as normal.
Thirdly, Keep searching for those books, there's a lot out there that people haven't found yet - in various libraries all over the Shattered Lands!
