Shakey quest (Rogue epic part 2) walkthrough
Reply With Quote   #1

Shakey quest complete and confirmed needed for Rogue epic 1.5, but Undead Renux fight is bugged.

Many thanks to Fyredragn for spending his time runnin round with me figuring this out, being half as lucky on spawns/drops ^_~

[In Rivervale]

You say, 'Hail, Shakey Scarecrow'
Shakey Scarecrow rustles and looks up at you in acknowledgment.
Reebo Leafsway shakes his head sadly. 'Poor old [Shakey] just isn't what he used to be.'

You say, 'Hail, Reebo Leafsway'
You say, 'who is Shakey?'
Reebo Leafsway says 'Shakey is our protector and friend. He is just getting old. Losing his [stuffing]. His [head] is getting very cracked and dry as well.'

You say, 'what about his Head?'
Reebo Leafsway says 'The head of a scarecrow is difficult to replace. We do not know what is needed and all of our attempts have failed. Perhaps you could [research] this for us and bring back a new head for our old friend Shakey?'

You say, 'what research?'
Reebo Leafsway says 'We have heard of a great forbidden tome penned by an evil necromancer that holds the secrets of instilling life into scarecrows. We have recovered pages from that book. That is how we know about Shakey's hay. But the pages detailing the creation of a scarecrow's head are missing. We believe that the Erudites possess at least some of the pages and might know where the rest of them may be found. Start your search in their city of Erudin.'

[In Erudin]

You say, 'Hail, Sornita Eltern'

Sornita Eltern says 'Greetings, Feninie! Please be do not speak too loudly while inside the library. If you need anything
special, feel free to ask me. I am a member of the Crimson Hands and my specialty is divination. In my research I have
stumbled across many [rare tomes].'

You say, 'what rare tomes'
Sornita Eltern says 'Why, just yesterday I stumbled upon what I believe to be an excerpt from Miragul's own treatise on the origin of the creatures known as scarecrows. Such a work is heresy and would be destroyed if the High Council knew of its existence so I have been tight-lipped about my discovery. If you would like to see it, I will show it to you, for a nominal donation of 20 gold pieces.'

[give her 20 gold]

Sornita Eltern says 'Oh, yes. Very good friend. Here is the document I mentioned. It would seem to be part of a larger
body of work, but this page describes a Teir'Dal who it seems was instrumental in creating the head of the very first scarecrow. You may keep that as it is merely a magical duplicate of the original document which I have carefully hidden.'
You gain experience!!

[give this water-stained tome to Sornita]

Sornita Eltern says 'Unbelievable, you located the larger body of work I had been searching for! The text is scribbled in
old Teir`Dal, but many of the words have been smeared and blurred. In fact, there are deep claw marks on the bindings and surface of the tome. It looks like the current owner didn't care well for it. Hmm. . . This translation of it may be
spotty, but I think I'll be able to convey the general meaning for you. Ah, here you are. A duplicate copy of the writings.
I'll hold on to the original as it won't be of much use to you. Many thanks, Feninie!'

[recieve Translated Ancient Tome ] this links to ROGEP2BookTranslate

The manufacturing of a hay golem is not so complex, save for the creation of the most important part: the head. The process requires a precise set of ingredients, such that any exclusion or imitation of a crucial item can lead to disastrous results.
When combined with care, the resulting head can simply be fitted into the frame of the hay golem with no need for spells or further transmutation.
For the husk, you must locate a fitting carved pumpkin. Such can often by found in Estates teeming with the undead. While this place will feel somewhat foreboding, there is no better place to harvest this item.
Next, seek out a supplemental shapely vegetation. The best bet is a dank and moist fungus filled region.
Thirdly on the list are stringy vines. The best vines I have found are located on the moon of Luclin in the mad mage's
domain. This is why stealth is of the utmost importance.
Next, there is a need for several fragments of the unliving: The claw of an ancient dragon, long dead. Tattooed skin peeled from a zombie - I imagine there are many bloated sailors that would not miss a scrap of their flesh.
Tears of those spirits that are long forgotten.
The final elements are the most important, and oddly enough, the most difficult to find. The basking glow of an orange flame, living essence of a dancing mote of light. These wisps are typicallly found in swamplands. Also, the boiling liquid from the Mistress' laboratory.
Lastly, the reanimation formula.
Unfortunately, in all my travels I was never able to find the source of this substance and all my attempts to duplicate it have been for naught. I have often debated whether the extra efforts required for this endeavor are worth my time. Since the first time I laid eyes upon a hay golem, I knew the knowledge of their creation would be mine ... someday.

[ Collect the following ]

Frightful Carved Pumpkin
: Unrest
: 384, -204, east end of hedge maze, small bag

Speak in Elder Teir'dal for extra lore from Zadyr Moralin

[Mon Sep 27 19:34:35 2004] You say, 'Hail, Zadyr Moralin'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:36 2004] Zadyr Moralin says, in Elder Teir'Dal, 'Hmm' He has an eager look upon his troubled face. 'By the Prince, have you come to [free] me from this place?'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:38 2004] You say, 'free'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:38 2004] Zadyr Moralin says, in Elder Teir'Dal, 'I must find a way out of this prison, my trial is approaching, so says the warden. Time is running out for me. There is little chance of reprieve, given my [experiments].'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:41 2004] You say, 'experiments'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:41 2004] Zadyr Moralin says, in Elder Teir'Dal, 'My people are fleeing, fleeing underground away from the traitor-elves. We are taking to the tunnels and to the caverns, where we can rebuild our strength, beneath the surface. The Prince will protect our people. My experiments were dire indeed, and yet in times of war one must take every opportunity one can get to defeat one's foe, as I am certain that you would agree. I experimented upon the souls of my [slaves].'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:43 2004] You say, 'slaves'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:43 2004] Zadyr Moralin says, in Elder Teir'Dal, 'My House always kept dwarves; they are sturdy, hard-working and durable. It has always been the law of our House never to abuse the slaves, however. The war with the traitors lasted so long, and I saw an opportunity to end it. My research into the binding of mortal souls, and to use that harnessed spiritual power for further incantations, had proceeded to the point at which I required actual living subjects upon which to perform my [rituals].'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:47 2004] You say, 'rituals'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:47 2004] Zadyr Moralin says, in Elder Teir'Dal, 'The ritual of binding requires over two whole days of preparation, and the separation and captivation of the subject's soul takes a further two days of rigourous effort. I succeeded, but the price was high. Upon three of my slaves did I perform the rituals, and thrice damned am I for it. I wielded the power of their lifes' energies with decisiveness. My [victories] were the stuff of legends.'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:50 2004] You say, 'victories'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:50 2004] Zadyr Moralin says, in Elder Teir'Dal, 'Against the traitor-elves, my new-found energies from the life-force of my three slaves' trapped souls provided me with the ability to lay waste to whole legions of our enemies. Yet in their foolishness, my peers of the Prince's Elves sought to stop me, and bring me to [justice].'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:52 2004] You say, 'justice'
[Mon Sep 27 19:34:53 2004] Zadyr Moralin says, in Elder Teir'Dal, 'They took me in my sleep, and for my "crimes", I was banished here. Banished here like a criminal, rather than a savior of our species! Without my rituals, without my incantations, our people are doomed - they flee to the underworld and hide, like vermin. Even now, I sit here, accused, and were that not torment enough I am constantly reminded of my deeds by the souls of the three that I damned with me.'

Combine in Cage of Transmutation and receive Jack-O-Lantern
http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=11139

After turning in head to shakey, your told to find the Blue Orb. Its broken up into fragments, and spread around. Theres three pieces total.

After retrieving the one from Kithicor, go to Yendar and ask "blue orb". You will get some new lore stating that there are multiple pieces, and they can be reforged under extreme heat. He also explains that the orb wants to be back together, and that you can find the remaining pieces by combining one of them in a forge with three blue diamonds.

Hemisphere of Blue Metal - http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=9464
: Find Kithicor and say "blue orb"

Shard of Blue Metal - http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=9822
: Plane of Mischeif
: Find the chessboard with two halflings, and say "blue orb" to either of them.

Bits of Blue Metal - http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=5767
: Bastion of Thunder
: Ground spawn next to Thunderclap

Fragment of Blue Metal - http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=8786
: Dulak's Harbor
: Pickpocketed from Siska the Spurned

Next find Findleznax Grimblewimbus in Steamfont. Tell him you will help him. He digs for a bit, and if previous steps are complete he will spawn "a decomposing body".

Hail the decomposing body you will get some lore, that its actually Renux back from the dead looking for Stanos. Simply answer "Yes" and Renux spawns in her place.

Hits for 1600s, unslowable, casts an AE that will DT you in 30 seconds unless cured (RGC Cures) AE is now CR based, -350 to resist, with 500CR you will resist a good 75% of them. Has a decent amount of hps.

Combine your 4 pieces of blue metal in with the heart you loot from Renux in a forge. You get the heart back.

Good info, most of it is shared on unsolved quest board (link on one of other epic threads here) , and tx for sharing info about possible container (thats an update).

About tear I hope the ones who know where it comes from to share info too, the more we can look around the faster we ALL progress on quest

Ok I have the book, and the ground spawns (didn't know about the container tho, I'll check that out.)

So far for the tear I have checked the hole for groundspawns (nothin)

Forgotten Slaves in the grey - only killed 15, but got no tears and decided to do something else.

Forgotten Martyr in KT, only killed one, didnt drop it.

Killed some MM Ldon missions - nothing there.

Anyone else trying stuff? The fact that it could be a rare drop makes it hard to search when you don't know where you are supposed to be looking in the first place.

How about Paineel, i.e. Tormented Souls? Tormented souls also exist in PoTorment but that seems like a stretch. Still, since the quest now includes a drop from Luclin, it's not entirely out of the question. I'd look for ground spawn since most of the quest seems to be exactly that.

I'm working on some things on this quest, too. I'm not going to say anything just yet in case I'm wrong, but I will test things out tonight and see where it leads me.

I have some recoomendations for the post's author, though. Please add this link to the unsolved quest boards at the top of the first post.

http://p211.ezboard.com/foldunsolved...opicID=7.topic

Also, you've left out two crucial words in your post that gives the original clue for the powder of Reanimation (I don't feel that this is the right item, anyway). Edit the post to say that the quest-giver refers to "the reanimation formula" as an item that she has not been able to find. You left those words out, "Reanimation Formula," And I think that it is very important, because a formula is a concoction, or instructions on creating a concoction, not a powder

For reanimation formula, maybe something as simple as a cleric spell

Reanimation spell

Easy enough to get the spell and check if you have all other parts

I would say the powder of reanimation is not the correct item. If you look at the rest of the items, they all are have MAGIC/LORE/NODROP flags, where as the powder just has LORE/NODROP. There's also the little thing about the powder being an existing item and already being associated with a quest.

I have tried handing in the "magically copied" page the erudin lady gave me for 20gps to Yendar, he does not want it. She says the page I have is only a copy and that she has hidden the original

Sornita Eltern says 'Oh, yes. Very good friend. Here is the document I mentioned. It would seem to be part of a larger
body of work, but this page describes a Teir'Dal who it seems was instrumental in creating the head of the very first scarecrow. You may keep that as it is merely a magical duplicate of the original document which I have carefully hidden.'
You gain experience!!
I have ran all around erudin and could not find where she hid it if there is actually anything hidden that we are meant to find.

I have tried pick pocketing her, but only 10 times, maybe 11 was the charm. I have not tried killing her. I have tried all the phrases given to us.

Do you got any more info on this? I followed up but the bard Caskin doesnt seem to be responding to anything.

nevermind this stuff, it tuned out to be a portion of the druid epic.

I was able to get Caskin to respond by saying "Soulbinder Grunson sent me about your friend"

I didn't take much for notes, but he tells you a story about Geadin. who was one of the founders of the soulbinders and went a bit too far, even going so far as to suck out folks souls and bind them into gems

This text hasn't changed since my first trip to Rivervale as far as I can tell...

Guys I really hate to say it but I'm pretty sure this is a red herring. I have a feeling this is one of the many unsolved quests in Norrath and while it is surprisingly long I don't think it has anything to do with our epic regardless of what that datamine said.

I'm not saying abandon this quest because after all the work you guys have put into it I'm curious to see the end result...Just don't hold your breath...

EDIT:

Looking further into this I found Shakey the Scarecrow's Head Notice the dates on some of the posts pre-exist OoW. /shrug

[Tue Sep 28 01:40:14 2004] Soulbinder Grunson says 'I will not talk about him and I assure you that none of our membership will. If you must know more, talk to a man named Caskin about his friend. I don't remember his last name. Now please go away and don't mention this again.'

[Tue Sep 28 01:45:58 2004] Caskin Marsheart says 'You must mean Geadin.' Caskin's eyes lose their focus for a moment as he appears to be reminiscing. 'Geadin was a good friend of mine, but I haven't seen him in ten years, not since his [problems] with the Soulbinders.'
[Tue Sep 28 01:46:11 2004] You say, 'what problems'
[Tue Sep 28 01:46:12 2004] Caskin Marsheart says 'Caskin was a great man. Yes, I know he went down the wrong path eventually, but he saved a lot of people. He helped form the Soulbinders and, ironically enough, helped to write the rules that they now live by. Unfortunately he wasn't strong enough to live by those rules. His was a drive for success, for achievement, and that was his undoing. His [research] became more important to him than anything, even more important than the people he was trying to help.'
[Tue Sep 28 01:46:36 2004] You say, 'what research'
[Tue Sep 28 01:46:37 2004] Caskin Marsheart says 'Geadin Gyths was, in many ways, a pioneer of soul binding. His research helped to allow the Soulbinders to operate, but he went too far. He was expelled from the Soulbinders for using some of those that came to him for a simple binding as experiment victims, sometimes pulling their souls from their bodies (on accident, he claims) and binding them to a series of gems that he kept on hand. The order of Soulbinders managed to recover those gems and the lost souls and removed Geadin from their ranks. Something that happened at that time, perhaps even something that the Soulbinders did to him, drove him [mad].'
[Tue Sep 28 01:47:16 2004] You say, 'how mad'
[Tue Sep 28 01:47:18 2004] Caskin Marsheart says 'He ran off and I haven't heard from him in more than ten years. So you can see why the Soulbinders don't want to talk about him. There's nothing to fear from them, they have one of the most grueling screening processes I've ever heard of. I guess Geadin helped them in that way too. I don't know why you seek Geadin or his type of magic, you don't seem like the sort that would be interested in that sort of thing. I will warn you about my friend Geadin. He is very smart and very insane. If you can help him, I'd be grateful, but keep in mind that he doesn't see people as anything more than a tool. Good luck finding him.'

Found another Shapely Vegetation spawn after nearly 3 hours of searching...was sitting right in front of the door to the bank. It looks like only one veggie can be up at a time. I wonder if it even has real set spawn points. So far 4 have now been reported, so this could just be a random spawn anywhere in the zone. All I have to say is searching for a green leaf on the ground of Fungus Grove really sucks.


Edit: One more thing. I was reading the translated text again. Straight from the text "When combined with care, the resulting head can simply be fitted into the frame of the hay golem with no need for spells or further transmutation" The mention of transmutation makes me 100% positive that the Chardok B container is what we need for the combine.

Add another loc for the Shapely Vegetation, found mine in the Shik'nar caves at +1110, +1538. I think Tinyshanker is right and that there are no set spawns. My only advice would be to keep checking around every plant you see. They're slightly larger than the yew leaves in WL.

Ok, over the course of two nights I have spent at least 12-15 hours sitting in a small room, in a tower, killing green dark elves and green vampires. I have not seen the Dark Cun ... err ... Huntress spawn yet. First of, this better drop everytime or I will be very upset. Second off, this is not fun. Fun is the opposite of this. I do not mind camps for the most part, in fact I would rather solo a camp for a few hours than kill something that takes one group 5 minutes, because I can do it on my leisure. I also like quests which take time to complete (providing the reward at the end is sufficent to justify the time spent). Now, here is my thought quadruple spawns, quadruple drop rates, and make four times the camps needed. Same effect, same time spent, the difference? a scenary change. That little bit can go along way, IMO. Anyhow, /rant off

I wanted to point out one thing, in spite of the datamine tags, I have my doubts on this being a part of the epic. I still wish to complete it, cause it's Shakey. There was no clue pointing us to this (unless we missed the clue and stumbled here by mistake, dumb luck) ... But more importanly, if this was epic related, wouldn't it at least follow suit of the epic in that we'd be the only class who could do the quest? Just my 2cp. I am just hoping for a decent reward from this quest, a clicky something (like the summon drink clicky from the stuffing quest), or a clicky pumkin illusion would be cool, even it was all/all (it's not about being the only one able to do it, it's all about being able to do it)

We're pretty certain that the Dark Huntress spawn is currently bugged. She seems to have been missing on Quellious since the last patch. The only connection we originally had between Shakey's head and our Epic was tenuous at best, with the quest items having the same naming convention, but they do seem to be dealing with trapping souls and what not now, and its all we have to go on right now until we catch another break.

Confirming Kraun's post, I've been camping dark huntress for the past day and a half with no luck.

Others in the zone before I arrived said they hadn't seen her all day.

P.S. also having some difficulty finding the freakin' ground spawn items we need.

Is Shakey part of rogue epic ? ... what do we know ?

- Books are identified internally as if belonging to Rogue epic 1.5/2.0
- Theres not a know straight link on lore from epic to Shakey
- Theres an at least coincidental link on lore regarding nature of trapping souls on items
- Talking with Zadyr Moralin and having all bards, forge fire and tradeskills done is not enough to get forgotten spirits to talk you

Things worth to try or someone to confirm/deny ...

- Check if having book alone (not bards) is enough to talk to spirits (almost sure it is, if so we loose a good chance to be sure Shkey is part of epic)
- People with complete set missing only 'reanimation formula' try with rezz spells and necro rezz emerald

Edit: And yes, Huntress is a very odd spawn or she is bugged upon hours spent friends and me camping tower on Maelin ... why this reminds me so much that time when that orc spawn for coldain ring at EW was bugged so he only poped once at server up

I have the reanimation formula in the bank.


Its not in Lucy, because I dont run Itemcollector, nor do I compusively link things. I am at work at the moment... so I can't link it to roguehunt, but will do so as soon as I get home (and its driving me nuts that I can't do it right now).

The full name of the item I have in the bank is:
Mirigul's Reanimation Formula (spelling may be off... and thats as close to the name of the item as I can get from memory right now).

I've had it in the bank since just before OOW came out... originally it was tagged as "Class: Rogue", and I had never seen it before, so I snagged it just in case.

I will do my best to finish off the Shakey quest this afternoon/evening to verify that this indeed the proper item.

Wont be able to post anymore until I get home this afternoon (~4:30pm est)

Yeah the Dark Huntress is currently bugged like the Warrior epic pages were. Now to me, This really pieces me off. We were told time and time again by Prathun, that this quest wasn't bugged. And Behold, Look what we find. I have been working on this quest since i got level 70 and now i am being cockblocked because of this stupid spawn. I know for a fact it won't be fixed for a week.

I got my tears last night from PoJ. I have the 5 tradeskills done, and do not have bards or Culthor, so it looks like the only thing needed for the tears is the book turn in.

Why would it say RogueSmearep2 on Lucy, I trust lucy more than anything just cuz its accurate. Prathun fully re-designed the Shakey quest so whatever change he made to it has to have made an impact.

If this does somehow tie into our 1.5 epic then it will be the lamest quest ever. Also how the hell would we have discovered this without Lucy's help? Sure they can say they expected us to use Lucy but then all they had to do was give it a tag that doesn't say rogue epic2. Seriously where is the frickin logic here?

With that said, Dark Huntress doesn't seem to be spawning on Vazaelle either.

As some of you may know, stromm had a short rollback last night. When I logged back in I heard all the talking about this "Dark Huntress" I grabbed a gate potion and ran the hell over to the mistmoore tower, and she was up, greeny vampire with an even greener pet. So, I've heard her spawn can either be 5 real life days/100 eq days (so I'm told), and apparently shes up on server up from what I can tell.

Heard this quest was for an Illusion:Scarecrow item, at least that was the general consensus in the rogue-chat I hang out in. No clue if that makes it related/un-related to the Epic 1.5/2.0, though.

This is for epic 1.5

And knomercy wasn't first done.

Talisman's Striph has been ahead of all servers thus far -- he has tried the bugged final encounter 3 times.

Tonight he hopes to complete it.

Nevertheless, nice work on the write-up Knomercy, and thanks for all your information.

one of the items is labelled brd/rog only (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=52355) plus there is an illusion screwcrow spell that went live on sept 14 (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.htm...mp;source=Live).

so... brd/rog illusion scarecrow clicky would be cool.


I can dream at least right?

Thanks for updating the post so nicely, gnomercy. Looks like some good works been done, unfortunatly, though none of the things I tried last night were right. But it looks like someone's figured it out, anyway if Santino's post means what I think it does. to you folks

All the credit should go to Gylan and Tinaea of Eternal Retribution, don't give me credit for anything. Early grats to Gylan on first epic if all goes well.

Question for those who have talked to Shakey, is there any hint as to how we were supposed to figure him out without the lucy database info? :( Sure the quest may be working but we just got lucky it seems
