Treant Fists

[Zarcath]

I'm trying to do the Treant Fists quest in Kerra Isle.

I found the banished kerran but he doesn't respond to the keyphase "puab sent me"

When I give him "puab's token" he gives his speech about the Ashen order and returning the remains of Thipt but he doesn't give me the box to combine the bones in. He also does not respond to questions about Thipt.

I've seen other monks wearing the Treant Fists so I'm not sure what the problem is. I have empty space for the container and I don't have the container in my bank or anything like that.

This is my 2nd time giving him the token and not receiving the box needed.

[Zithax]

You're not confusing them with Whitened Treant Fists from PoSky?

No he isn't. I know what item he is talking about and the quest has been done many times on this server, this seems like a legit bug.

The item he is trying to get is : http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1585

The quest he is trying to do is : http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=716

The reason he is failing is because its a KUNARK QUEST!

working as intended =P

[benceman]

If it's a kunark quest then why do other monks have it?...

No, this was a Pre-Kunark quest. I remember well running back and forth from Freeport to Qeynos to do this quest and being disconnected. This is one of the first quests that monk players learn patience, in order to deal with the spawn times for the goblin alchemists. The original Treant fists had a complete heal component to them in 1999.

If it were Kunark era, the screenshot of the initial item submission to allakhazam would probably include race IKS (it does not).

How many iksars do you know that frequent spots like freeport and qeynos....Its such a low level item, i doubt any iksar player would take the time to build faction enough just to do this quest. Might that explain why IKS is not included on race restriction?

[quellren]

Item tags don't work that way. If it's useable, it's listed. period. When Kunark launched item descriptions were changed retroactively to say IKS. Actually, I want to say I recall them getting patched in BEFORE Kunark as I remember thinking "what the hell is this IKS code?"

The fact that IKS isn't listed speaks highly of it being a classic item.

[k2summit]

This is not a kunark quest. I did this quest not long ago and it worked fine. Seems like your right about the buggyness.

[Lyrik]

The fact that IKS isn't listed speaks highly of it being a classic item.

Yeeeeep. Anything to the contrary would suggest that people don't do radical faction changes in EQ to complete quests. Oh wait.

[Zarcath]

I've had 3-4 monks contact me in-game about the Treant Fists but none of them have said if they were able to complete the quest or not. Can someone chime in so I don't have to port over with those shitty cat bones for a third time?

I beleive it was a classic item, but it is also consitered to be plate (which was Verant's reasoning on why Iksar could not wear).

[Lyrik]

O.o

Plate wearing monks?

You sure you aren't getting mixed up with:

Considering those are a PoSky drop and not quested...

[Zarcath]

Beej messaged me today saying he turned in the coin and did not receive a box.

I have seen monks WEARING the TREANT FISTS GLOVES on the HAND SLOT.

This quest worked at one time and now it's not. All of the mobs that are related to this quest are spawning and dropping their items, the only cockblock here is the quest NPC isn't giving out the container needed to combine the items in.

This is the equivalent of the Paw of Opolla rings dropping but not being able to get the container to combine them in.

So i got the token, then I went to banished kerran.

I handed in the token, banished kerran says ""Ashen Order!! Prrr.. My order. I have been expecting one of us. Prrr.. Help me rejoin my native land. Return the [remains of Thipt] to me. This shall aid me in my redemption."

I say... "what remains of thipt"

He gives me the box. What is the problem here?

When I give him the token, he says the line about Ashen Order, but when I ask him about Thipt he doesn't respond.

Also according to the allakhazam write up, he's supposed to give you the box when you give him the token, not upon a keyphrase. And the banished kerran is supposed to respond to "puab sent me" but he doesn't respond to that either.

Tell him "puab sent me", and he will ask for proof. Give him Puabs Token and he will recognise you as a monk sent by Puab, and will give you a "box with paw prints" a 4 slot combine box and will ask you to find the remains of his fellow student who fell fighting goblins somewhere.

What's the banished kerran con to you? For me he's indifferent, and he's supposed to be on Beta Neutral faction.

supposed to respond to "puab sent me" but he doesn't respond to that either.Fixed, pending update.

When I give him the token, he says the line about Ashen Order, but when I ask him about Thipt he doesn't respond.I just tried this on the server, it works fine. "what remains of thipt" After the patch, however, he will give you the box upon turning in the token.

[Zarcath]

okay, thanks nilbog

I'm trying to figure out the Cat Skull Cap drop myself, for this quest. I don't think it's Kunark. Not sure.

[Monju]

The cap dropped for me off the cube in Runny Eye about a month or more ago. I was reading the posts about it dropping off any of the cubes including the ones in Qeynos Aquaducts, but never tried for it there. The map on the wiki / EQAtlas has the correct location of it.

[Gorgetrapper]

I have one sitting on my bard, it drops.
