Quest Issue: Shackle of Scale

[koros]

This was never a real quest, or if it was it was in beta and never made it live.

Does any know if this quest will be avaiable in some day??

This is the full version of what's been acquired by Allakhazam.

It was entered into the database on March 12, 2002.

The quest was introduced as an alternative line for an "epic like" item in the same way Greenmist was introduced.

The Shackle of Tynnonium replaced the Shackle of Scale and was added on to the end of the shackle progression.

So the Shackle of Steel was required to acquire the Shackle of Tynnonium, and the Shackle of Tynnonium was required to acquire the Whistling Fists.

The entire quest-line is contained within Kunark or earlier content. It would not be an issue to getting it implemented. At this point it's a question of "Is it classic."

I can understand the team wanting to make things as close to classic as possible, but including broken quests that got fixed? That's a whole other level of exact I didn't think needed to be done. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If this gets implemented at the same time as Greenmist, it would make the most sense, since both quests require the Stupendous Tome.

if it wasn't working during classic, kunark, or velious - we won't see it here

Further research done on the topic.

"Made adjustments to the Whistling Fists quest."

So the Whistling Fists quest was in FOR SURE after luclin launched. Unsure how much before this date however. Still trying to research when things were added. (I still believe it got added around the same time as Greenmist, because of the Stupendous Tome being used in both)

I see no mention of the shackle of scale on monkly business at all

[Giren]

Yeah. That's 2001. So sometime between 01-22-2001 and 02-13-2002 it was implemented.

And Luclin released December 2001.

As of 02-16-2002 there was a full step-by-step guide on how to complete the Whistling Fists. I know the monk community was tight back in the day... but are we saying that the shackle of tynnonium was discovered, completed, and posted, and then the same with the whistling fists in a two month period?

Side note: just scrap the whole of shackle of scale, fix the shackle of steel. (at the very least)

Think it stemmed from a wild story of someone doing it and it being a hoax? We've seen it before. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

interesting you should say that:

This quest has been proven an hoax some time ago, or at least broken. Ask the monk community at www.monkly-business.com boards and you'll see that nobody has ever seen one in 2500+ users.
