Quest Details: Pets

Tapestry of LC reports: "Heya Maggie. Here's a writeup of the hopefully first Pet gotten today in Dereth!

You start by going to the Obsidian Span, to a little shop at 35.2N/39.3E, and talk to Larinne Kerendova just inside the door. She will give you 4 letters you need to deliver to 4 different people in 4 towns.

Renald the Eldest in Holdburg
Nen Ai just outside Shoushi
Ma'yad Ibn Ibsar in Yaraq
Turien Di Furza in Sanamar

Once you have their replies, return to Larinne and hand the 4 answering letters to her. In turn, she will give you a token, which you can then hand to one of the 3 pet vendors. I gave mine to the Ursuin vendor, and received a kennel, which will summon/de-summon my pet."

Kenbo of LC reports: "Hey Maggie -- Another thing on pets, they do not portal with you. No worries, when you portal, they just go back into their box, so when you come out of the portal, just double click and out the come again. Pets don't do much, besides look pretty cool following you around. They don't fight, and they are transparent as far as other monsters are concerned, but I did get mine stuck on a rock! I tried to out run it, no luck, it kept up pretty well. I'd imagine that if you do manage to lose your pet, using it's box will make it pop out again. One more thing Maggie, it's ok if you out run your pet. I managed to be mine stuck on the side of my villa and then ran off. I had it selected and when I ran away it disappeared, so I used my box, and out it popped again. So no worries if you lose your pet, just use the box and it shows up again!"

Silvana Nightsong/Moeko of HG reports: "Heya Maggie! I just spoke with an NPC near the armorer in Holt named Dwennon (42.6N 33.5E) and apparently he's contracted mad cow disease! He asks you to tip the cows to thwart their evil schemes!" Thanks also to Hirad of WE!

NPC: Dwennon - 42.6N, 33.6E (Holtburg)

Dwennon tells you, "You've seen them lingering around town, haven't you? They've been here all along, you know that, don't you? They have spies all over the place. They see and hear everything. They must be stopped, and stopped the only way we know how. Simply killing them isn't good enough, we need to tip them and tip them often. Go, go tip the cows, they must be stopped!"
Tip the cow.
You think to yourself "One tip down, I wonder how many more this guy could possibly expect..
Dwennon tells you, "Good, good, our plans are working, they're being distracted. We've bought some time but you need to buy us more time. We need more time!"

--50 Tips
The cows lips do not move but you would almost swear you just heard "Moooo, Mooo Mooooooo!"

Dwennon tells you, "Huh!? What's that!"
Dwennon tells you, "Oh... my... goodness. The cows must have had control of my brain, I didn't even know you were there."
Dwennon tells you, "They're in my head, get them out. Get them out! Tip more cows!"

--100 Tips
A thought pops into your head "Cow Logic" and you think... "What's that?" Maybe you can ask Dwennon about it some day.

Dwennon tells you, "Mooooooooooo!!!! Mooo! Mo."
Dwennon tells you, "I'm practicing my cow speak. Now if only I could lose this darn accent."
Dwennon tells you, "You should return to the field. I've never met a more formidable tipper. You shall be a hero of the people when the Cow Insurgence is stopped!"

--150 Tips
You think to yourself "I must be at least half done, and if not then Dwennon can just finish tipping this cow himself."

Dwennon tells you, "They've been herding at night again. They can't fool me though. No one can sleep standing up! I can see their lips moving in cow whispers. I can hear the whispers late at night. They're up to something! You tip those cows. Give those treacherous bovine a good shove for me!"

--200 Tips
Your arms are getting tired, you think to yourself "I must have tipped at least 200 times by now."

Dwennon tells you, "Moo Mo mooo moooooo moooo mo moo mooooo?"
Dwennon tells you, "Ahem, or... Moo Mo mooo mooooo mooo moo mo moooo?"
Dwennon tells you, "Don't stop tipping now, you've tipped 200 or so by my count. Have you got your tippin' calluses yet? Those are a sign of distinction my friend."

--250 Tips
Unless you lost track someplace along the way, which you think is very possible at this point, you believe that's your 250th tip. What, no fireworks? Maybe you have a few more tips to go still.

Dwennon tells you, "We're almost there, I can sense it. The cow brain waves have been interupted. I know you can sense it also."

--300 Tips
It seems to you like you have done enough tipping for now, maybe Dwennon in Holtburg has an update for you...

Dwennon tells you, "Good, those cows will be set for a while, you can take a break. I expect you to report back here tomorrow to continue though, we can't let down our guard. Even better, search out cows around the world and tip them. They must all be stopped."
You've earned 10,000 experience.
You are Obviously Bored, maybe you should check your titles.
Dwennon gives you Tipped Pack Cow.
Dwennon tells you, "Don't tell them I gave that to you, you don't want to see them when they get very mad."

You get get a Tipped Pack Cow that, when hooked, lays on its side and kicks its legs in the air. You also get the title of "Obviously Bored"!

Thanks for running such a great site, Maggie! We love ya!"

Composite Bow Updated!
Thanks to Chris, Yertle of MT, Septa Scarabae!

Yuan Hanzu tells you, "If you wish to craft a Composite Bow for yourself you can find my book on the process at most Ivory Crafters."
Yuan Hanzu tells you, "If you are looking to upgrade your bow or simply wish to help me collect some materials for my craft I have a small task for you."
Yuan Hanzu tells you, "I've heard of a chain of Ancient Caves where an unknown creature's bones may be found. These bones make exceptional handles for the Composite Bow and Composite Crossbow. Unfortunately the caves are infested with Grievvers and can be quite dangerous for an unprepared explorer. Go and find a Fossilized Bone in the caves deepest depths. There are other bones on the upper levels of the cave that I can use as well."

Yertle of MT reports: "Retrieved Fossilized Bone which is in Deepest Caves (contains Parasitic and Bile Grievvers) which is entered from Ancient Caves at 46.1S 87.2W outside AB near Pookie (good for quick recall/tie to Pookie as well). Gave Fossilized Bone to NPC by the Bowyer in AB and he returned an Exquisite Bow Handle which I then attached to a Composite Bow with a Bow Skill of 466 (don't actually know if a check is involved). Picked up 2 other bone types in the Ancient Caves, one from Ancient Caves then one from Deep Caves portal in there. I think I used the best available handle (other two were in less dangerous monster dungeons). Appears you can turn in bones for handles and then handles for XP as well (not sure how much but think 13 day timers on bone pick-ups. Thanks!"

Silifi of Crimson Stars Updated!
Thanks to Cramo of DT, Haxor of HG!

NPC: Maqudh al Nishadina - 13.0N, 0.6E (Zaikhal)
Maqudh al Nishadina tells you, "Do you wield the Silifi of Crimson Stars? Would you like to wield a Silifi like mine? If so, I can help you improve the weapon, to add teh Critical Strike ability and Lightning Cleaving properties to it... Yes, I have a way of repairing one of the damaged jewel settings. But my method demands a very particular ruby... Never mind that for now. If you wish to start on the path to improving your Silifi, you must first bring me a Plate Armoredillo Spine. Do not trouble me with the specifics. Just bring me a spine."

Old Scratchy!
Thanks to Paul Mua'dib of HG, Ninavie and Zegeger of HG!

Paul Mua'dib reports: "As today was Patch Day I was out running around looking for monsters for the Rare Monsters list from Stonehold when I came across a hole in the ground (29.0S, 26.6E). There was no portal so I decided to run to the bottom to see what was there. The dungeon was very straight forward and simple and filled with Reedshark Skinners. At the bottom I found a reedshark named Old Scratchy. He dropped a mass of Cartilage which is on a 13 day timer. I have yet to figure out the use for it."

Ninja Armor!
Thanks to Ninavie of HG, Kalazar of SC!

Master Liao Oazaka tells you, "It has been told to me that the Tanada clan of the Nanjou Shou-jen have come through the portals from Ispar to Dereth! I bear a great grudge against them - my clan on Ispar was slain by them, leaving me with only a sister left alive. I desire revenge against them."
Master Liao Oazaka tells you, "I understand they hone their skills in the Egg Orchard, the Dark Design, the Path of the Blind, the Feeding Tubes, and the Forgotten Chasm now. Seek them there and slay them for me. Each bears upon themselves a golden shuriken bestowed upon them by their clan leader. If you give me sixteen of these shuriken to prove that you have slain many of their number, I shall give you a replica of the gear that the Nanjou Shou-jen wear. I understand that this appearance may be of interest to some."
