Quest Issue: Shackle of Scale

[Nilasbik]

I found this posted on alla may 1 2000 under the wrist section. So obviously it was in the game at that time.

do a ctrl+f for scale and its there.

Shackle of Scale: AC 9. Wt. 0.5. Iksar Monk only. Obtained through an unknown Cabilis Quest.

I started Jan 13thish 2001, so after velious, and i did this on my monk before it was removed from the game which was during summer.

This link is for the quest.

From alla at that time.

None of the forum links seem to work but you can tell by the titles of the post that plenty of people have completed it by that time.

When you click the first link it doesnt take you to the page that the shackle is listed on. Scroll down to the bottom and click wrist slot under the date may 1 2000. Then Ctrl+F shackle of scale. You then click on the link Cabilis Quest to the right of the stats for the shackle and that takes you the quest in alla for the second link.

Edit: I was hoping to find something on shackle of steel but it isnt listed there so it seems it wasnt discovered yet. looks like rock was the highest at that point.

Edit2: May 9 2000: Click cabilis quests and you find this
"Monk Shackle of Scale: I have no idea how you get this, or what number shackle this is, but there is a quest somewhere that results in the Shackle of Scale. It is possible that this is the result of the Shackle of Rock quest."

Edit3: if you click the shackle of scale link listed on the page it brings up this image [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit4: Found that if you click next page on the cabilis quest link it would show the comments.

As usual, the only way to get any quest items while they are still usefull is to have your high level buddies do the quest for you. C'mon, a monk tough enough to take out venril sathir really wants a plain ac 9 bracer? Oh well, at least they are consistent...

For a nine AC bracer....you have to defeat a Gem Oracle (easy), kill the head bloodgill (very hard), and beat Venril Sathir (unbelievably hard). What a crappy quest.

This should be added until velious is released...

[Nilasbik]

bumping this until it gets fixed.

What exactly are you trying to have changed?

Implementing Shackle of Scale in place of Shackle of Steel?

Implementing the "head bloodgill" and "skeleton key"? Gem of Yet to Come is already in game.

What do you mean "should be added until Velious is released"?

[Nilasbik]

this was never in place of shackle of steel. this was in game in addition to shackle of steel. This quest should be added in game until a few months after velious.

First comment is in august 2001 saying that its no longer doable because the key was removed and the bloodgill stopped dropping the key.

[Nilasbik]

I believe that this shackle was supposed to lead to tynn but the quests were revamped during luclin launch and steel to tynn was added. Scale and steel were always seperate lines. Shackle of steel was fixed at the beginning of velious while shackle of scale was still in game.

[Nilasbik]

I was talking to the friend that introduced me to eq back in the day about this shackle and he reminded me that the shackle was removed because you didn't have to get the gem of yet to come and they rusty key from the bloodgill. All you had to do was get the skeleton key which people were doing at level 17 when monks got fd. The reasoning they gave was risk vs reward. Anyway that really doesn't change anything since the quest could be written here to make sure that the first one was complete with a flag. I'll see if I can find any actual quest text concerning the quest.

Would be cool to get this working, I've had the Gem of Yet to come in my bank for a long time hoping the quest would get fixed.
