You must be at least level 25 to start this quest.
This is the quest for the Manastone. You must be level 25+ to initiate this quest. You initiate it by examining Stiletto's Orders. This item is dropped by a Ratonga named Stiletto in the Thundering Steppes as a body drop. Stiletto spawns in the river valley just south of the Giant / Gnoll bridge and wanders across the bridge and on both sides. His spawn location is at 486, -1, 1077 .
Enter the Cove of Decay and kill The Octagorgon. After doing this you can swim to the ocean floor and you will find some interactive chests on the ground. Examine the one that it allows you to and you will find a partially digested hand. (Note do not examine the hand it will make it imposible to complete the quest) Only one person has to do this.
Once you have the partially digested hand you must head onto the beach and you will find a Firepit. The person who has the hand can interact with the remains in the Firepit. This will spawn a level 31-32 ^^^ Heroic mob, Captain Ulssissaris. Kill him and the quest will update.
You must then head to the Ruins of Varsoon and examine an interactive book on a table in the Chambers at 263, 1, 118 in the workshop of the enchanter.
You must create one. FYI - The Sewing Table DOES NOT work in the Weavemaster's area!
After this you must kill Varsoon the Undying in the Chamber of Immortality, another instanced dungeon. You can do the optional access quest, Where Will This Lead Me, but it is not necessary anymore. It is important to note that you must loot the stone from a chest in a small room off of the main room, after Varsoon dies.
When you first enter the dungeon you cannot attack Varsoon. He becomes targetable after the Ethereal Fiend is killed.
Timesaver!
This quest has steps, hunting areas, or mob targets in common with the following quest(s).
I searched the comments for mention of this and didn't find it.
As of today, apparently the recipe has changed. It's no longer "glimmering tooth" it's "glimmering material", the rare level 30-39 T4 mined product. The boiled leather pelt is still 20-29, the filament is still T1 and the recipe itself is still level 9.
And of course after I figure it out myself, I mentioned it to my boyfriend and he says it was that way back when he did it months ago. He has great timing.
I've only been back playing for a month after being gone at least a year, so I was confused.
So for those of you like me, there you are. It worked fine.
Do you have to kill the Weave master multiple times if everyone in the group has the HQ or just once for the whol group? Thanks in advance for any help!
I just soloed the Captain as a 67 Shadow Knight. I was in no danger of dying, although it took some time to wear him down. So he can be taken down alone in your mid-60s as long as you're a good soloing class.
But be warned... I am not trivializing this encounter. Currently I have 93 AAs, a full set of Mastercrafted/Legendary-calibur gear, an array of hp-draining spells, and Mana Sieve to keep me alive. Mana Sieve? Yes, unfortunately one of his spells drains your mana by a nice chunk, too. So come prepared.
I figured I'd give a shot at this quest. Okay, call me cheap but I got tired of waiting on orders so I picked up Stiletto's orders off of broker for over a plat :).
As far as captain well, I'm lvl 64 SK, and I can say he's a bit of a fight after I ran out of power.
Most of his attacks for me were Siphon Power ( took up to 600+ power ) Siphon Life (Divine dmg) Coil : (Disease dmg) and Slashing
So, my advice, ensure you've raised you disease, divine and slashing res. as much as possible for him.
I have camped the spawn site around the Fire Giant's crater 3 times now - making sure that I was there at 3:25 PM Norrath time and I've never seen him then. There must be some other factor as well.
I did run around the area a few times though and did see him from time to time.
looked for him for a few more days for my other toon and once I paid attention to the clock it was easy ..... yes he pops at 3:25pm Norrath time..just got him a couple times with various toons.
Just joined a group today. Had a 58 shaman, 59 berserker, 55ish defiler, 49 necro, 47 troubador, and 31 necro (me). Everybody mentored me making the group all level 31. WE was able to kill pretty much everything in the zone including the captain. Captain was a long fight and the tank was in the red on health, however we won. I am sure if it was a normal group of level 31's we would have failed though. Was a fun fight needless to say. Group went on to complete this quest. Luck would have it the Weavermaster was up and nobody spent over 60 silver on the components to make the bag.
I am a level 62 iksar guardian and I cannot kill the freaking Captain...62!!! I'm also wearing all xegonite with adept III or master I abilities. DON'T TRYTHIS ALONE UNLESS YOUR 68+!!! By the way...any advise how to kill him solo?
Stiletto is the easy part if you hang aorund where the Skindancer gnolls are (near the shrine) or near the big crater pond near the goliaths he will show up soon (we killed him about three four times in about three hours!), it's the Captain Ulssissaris that's the pain as I'm a 52 Pally with full Cobalt armor and my spells are all Master I's and he's grey to me - still can't solo the git!
His spawn point is, as it says above, at the edge of the gorge next to giant crater. If you killed him once, it stands to reason he spawned near you. That's what made it easy. Finding him in the first place appears to be the trick.
Hi there, your recipe for this isn't quite right. It isn't a 'Sullied Medium Quality Pelt' anymore, now it's a 'Boiled Leather Pelt' you need, harvested from the beast dens in the Thundering Steppes.
I kill Stiletto at 3:20 PM today, EST. He spawned in the middle of the bridge from the Crater Mine to Giant's Forge. I had camped him for 5 hours nonstop. I was looking north across the bridge when he popped in the middle of the bridge. Hope this helps someone.
Is Stiletto still on the 1 hr spawn timer? Been tracking that one for a while on the bridge for nearly 3 weeks. No show. *sigh* Some people have all the luck.
(Actually Darathar Server no server name in drop down box!)
The Captain is 31 Epic x2 !!! Wish I had of known that before I tried to solo this. The chest for the hand is not in the ship but a little in front of it towards the beach spent 10 mins swimming around like a loon thanks to lack of information on that one, cheers people.
Captain Ulssissaris is level 31 Epic (x2) mob, and shadowknight.
After me (37 beserker) and 37 templar had killed Octagorgon, we went to the firepit and spawned Captain Ulssissaris. Text above says he's 31^^^, took that to mean he was only Heroic. But be warned, he isn't, as of today at least.
Just did the combine today (08/27/06) and it took a Boiled Leather Pelt. It has to be the correct boiled leather pelt also, it must be the No Value one, NOT the Uncommon one.
I was with a guildie last night. We were both on the start of this quest. I had tried to solo it before (41 Necro at that time and got eaten by Captain) but this was her first shot at it.
We killed Octogorgon with no problem, but when we went to get the hand from the chest, neither of us could interact with any of the chests. Guildie mentioned that she had done this with an alt the day before, and also had this problem with the chest.
I am wondering, is the quest bugged now, or could it be that since I was able to spawn the Captain before and got killed, did I mess it up and have to delete the quest and start over by killing Stileto again?
myself and a friend were trying to do this quest. We're both 70 and I had access to COD. Which one is it? Prison Break? I KNOW I did it but it isn't allowing us to go in. Is there a level requierment or something? This is really annoying. HELP
I found Stiletto in the pond where the skindancer gnolls are. I had a swashy with me and she didn't even show him. He may have just spawned the moment I saw him. Anyway, check in the bottom of that pond if he is nowhere else.
I got my update for Captain off of Hwal's grandpa in the Tower of Vhalen. I'll try it again on another char, was so stoked when i got it. way easier then doing CoD access then raiding the guy in there.
For the people seeking For COD SOE didnt remove the acces quest after LU 25 you stil need to do the acces quest that start in ROV by talking to the 2 centaurs in the jail.
Ok, I know the quest now calls for a boiled leather pelt, what it doesnt tell you is you have to harvest the pelt yourself. I and two other guildies have bought ever type of boiled pelt or anything even close to that and nothing worked. I got my trapping skill up to 90 and went into TS and harvested a boiled leather pelt myself, and it worked for the tradeskill combine. Other guildies working on this part also confirmed it works if you harvest it yourself. I'm not sure if the boiled lether pelts we were buying didnt work because they were pre LU24 harvested or not. But it works, just got to harvest it yourself. --Radiance-Templar on Venekor
If there was no octi then you went to the wrong version of COD, there are 4 instances: COD-Epic Angler(rognog raid zone) COD (octi) COD-Treasure for treaty(droped scroll in TS quest) COD-Mjolni(used for prismatic 1)
This is officially hosed no Octo at all don't matter how many times I zoned in and out. So I will make a post on EQ2 about this problem. SOE 1 Swindell 0
This Really hasn't been broken by LU24. You'll notice that pelts of the same kind do not stack with each other. has to do with Era 1 and Era 2 of tradeskilling.
each era seperated by LU24. Go out and Harvest a pelt and that will work do the trick.
Octagorgon will only spawn in the instance called "Crypt of Decay". not "Crypt of Decay: Treaty for Treasure" or any other instance. To get access to Octagorgons instance, you need to do 4 quests i believe. freeing the centaurs in RoV, then talk to kraughl in southeast TS. hell give a quest, then hell point you to another centaur that will give you a quest. then its treaty for treasure, then you have access.
A few comments, 1.i went to COD today, no Octy or clickable chests. I got someone in there low 30's to green the zone for me but still no pop 2. Chomper = Foombys not manastone
I recovered an interesting set of orders from the corpse of a Ratonga out in the Thundering Steppes. Apparently the Ratonga was hired to find an old ship that has been lost at sea. The Ratonga's employer seemed very eager to learn the whereabouts of one of the objects that was to be carried on the ship. Maybe I could find this "Kedge's Lament" and learn what happened to the object.

I have come into possession of the ancient object known as the Manastone! This was the object that was carried on the Kedge's Lament over a decade ago. Apparently Varsoon bought the object but the ship didn't make its delivery. The beast that Varsoon sent out to recover the object from the ship's wreckage tore the protective bag apart to get to the stone. The stone has then spent its recent years locked in a chest within Varsoon's Chamber of Immortality.
