Quest Issue: Shaman Cudgel #6 should be in-game

[Passenger]

It appears Gorge Moss was added in Sept1999 with the rest of the zone-specific forages.

I was camping sarnaks and I got this scroll off of a sarnak adherant. It read:

Xinth
From opal slush and dristilate shall come Xinth. From sarnak nightdust, gorge moss, and gorge mushrooms shall come opal slush. From firiona drixie dust, stoneleer emerald plume, and stone chant rock shall come dristilate.


I'm interested in finding out what Xinth is, I may hunt down these articles, where do I find them? Should I forge them together? I'm not sure of the last item to form dristilate.

I am Martin a 43 Bard on Q.

Chant stones are nemed with differant names (use the identify song or spell). They come from Nurga. As to which one to use on this quest I dont know. I guess this will be a trial and error thing.

The plume item can be obtained in "The Overthere" by killing the cockatrice. They are lore no drop.

Last piece is the Fiorna Drixie Dust. That is in Fioran Vie off the drixies.

The Nightdust is also used in the "Beguile Plants" quest, described here in a Jun2000 capture:

Charm Plant:
You get this quest after finishing the handy shillelagh quest. Shrub Marwood requires a few items and will give you the Druid's Charm Plant Scroll in return. Bring him the following: Sarnack Farsight Crystal, Sarnak night dust, Strathebone Healer silk (found in Kasorea), and powder of Tsu. (Mid 30s Quest)

The phrase to ask him was 'What is Fertile Crop?'

These comments indicate that the recipe and the other ingredients it called for were seen prior to Cradossk hitting a dead-end in early 2001 due to the sponge mushroom not being available in-game. I don't believe the quest had any other blockers aside from those mentioned previously.

It's worth noting that there was also an issue with the 5th Cudgel quest which was apparently addressed in Jan2001 (I'll make a separate thread). This may explain why it took so long to discover the 6th Cudgel quest and that it was broken.
