The table below displays the tradeskill trivial levels for each level of the quest. The quests can be completed with lower skill levels, but the risk of combine failures increases.

After finishing the first three quests, ask Loremaster Borannin 'What is brewing?'

Loremaster Borannin says 'Ahh yes, good to see you again Maeve . I wish it were under better circumstances that we meet today. For some time now we have sent teams of our finest rogues to gather intelligence for the Dain. Tanik Greskil is one of our best. He was recently sent into the heart of Kael Drakkel on a very important mission and has not returned. He is now long overdue, and fearing the worst, our wise council has asked me to dispatch a rescue party to determine what has become of him and return him to safety. I have decided to give you this opportunity to build upon the trust you have earned from the council. Will you accept this mission?'

You say, 'I will accept this mission'

Loremaster Borannin says 'The council will be pleased to hear of your acceptance. Scour the regions surrounding the city of the Giants. Discover what happened to Tanik and, if possible, return him to Thurgadin. If you are successful, remember to hand me your woven shawl. We seem to be running low on them, but I must say Mordin has never had so much help in the kitchen. Anyway, I will eagerly await word of your findings. Good luck, and may Brell protect you.'

Bring a Vial of Velium Vapors (see below) with you to the Eastern Wastes to keep from having to find Tanik twice. Simply hand him the Vial to receive his note. (Confirmed 7/13/2023)

If you wander around Eastern Wastes near the upper ridge of the Kael entrance (a wide area near -6644,4337 UPDATE: also spawns around -6000, 4350 or the north side of the gorge where I found him on tracking) you will eventually trigger either a group of Kromrif Death Squad or you will see the message "the snow crumbles away revealing an injured coldain." A common way to find the mob is to have a pet on guard and it will point in the direction of the nearest NPC, including invisible ones, such as the dwarf we are looking for. The injured Coldain is Tanik Greskil. Run away from the Death Squad, as they are immune to snare as well as other immobilizing effects. There is no reason to fight them. FYIs: I was KOS in wolf form to Tanik Greskil also if you have a levitate buff you will not trigger either.

Tanik Greskil says 'Outlander! Thank Brell you've found me! I am the last surviving member of my unit. Our mission was somehow compromised, the bloody Kromrif knew just where to find us... I can't imagine how they knew. I was barely able to escape with my life and wandered into a trap here. I am badly hurt and need your help.'

You say, 'I will help'

Tanik Greskil says 'Quickly, give me a vial of Veluim Vapors so I can return home, I am in desperate need of some attention from our clerics.'

You say, 'What are velium vapors?'

Tanik Greskil says 'Drat! Are you telling me you don't have one with you? Run back to Thurgadin at once and speak with Frundle, she can make you one. I will do what I can to stay alive. I may need to move about a bit to keep from being discovered. Hurry now outlander, you're my only hope.'

When you are ready you must carefully weave a spool of sacred Coldain thread. Take the thread, this pattern, and the silk shawl and carefully embroider the pattern. The result will be most exquisite. Please show me if you manage to create one.'

You say, 'What sacred Coldain thread?'

Betti Frostweaver says 'Take a woven frost giant beard, two siren's hairs, two manticore manes and two Drakkel dire wolf whiskers, and combine them in a sewing kit. The resulting thread will enhance your shawl's power when embroidered in a special pattern.'

Once that's done ye need to kneel in the chapel and recite this prayer with total sincerity in yer heart. If yer plea be heard by our Father Brell he'll bless ya with the knowledge necessary to carry on. With that knowledge you'll take the blank rune, the burin and a fletching kit to etch the rune.

Trademaster Kroven says 'You'll need a fletching kit and a fair bit of skill for this one, Soandso. Round up a tooth from a swordfish and attatch it to an Ulthork tusk wrapped in a Molkor hide.'

Head to Siren's Grotto and get Swordfish Tooth from the swordfish and a Molkor Hide from the molkors. You can also get Ulthork Tusks there but they're much easier to get in Eastern Wastes where you can kill the low level ulthorks. The Swordfish Tooth is NO DROP which is the only item actually forcing you to go into Siren's Grotto.

The wood elf that did it before me had to be on the stage for him to get it to work.) and say the following prayer until you see a message saying you've been inspired. Type the message exactly, including all punctuation (especially the final period):

You say, ' Oh Brell, thank you for protecting me and seeing me through my trials. Forgive me for the things I think and say and do that displease you. Please reveal to me your will and bless me with the patience and obedience to do that which you desire. Amen. '

You have been inspired. The sacred pattern of the Coldain rune materializes on the ground before you.

On the floor in front of the Historian is an Etched Rune Pattern.

Step 3.1

Fish in Iceclad until you get 3 Iceclad Cutlassfish and combine them in the Fish Oil Extractor. This results in Cutlassfish Oil.

Step 4

Go to the jewelry store in Thurgadin, close to the Exchange. Give the Velium Etched Rune to Talem Tucter.

Talem Tucter says 'I've heard of your mission, Soandso. I must admit that I had my doubts you'd make it this far. The rune's creation is nearly impossible for even the most skilled of Coldain craftsmen. You should be exceedingly proud. Many have attempted this feat and nearly all have lacked the skill, faith, patience and persistence that is prerequisite for what destiny holds in store for you. You are now ready to use this pattern to construct the sacred rune's casing and complete the runed shawl.'

He returns the Velium Etched Rune and also gives you a Rune Casing Pattern.

You say, 'What casing?'

Talem Tucter says 'Combine two platinum bars, a small piece of velium and the casing pattern in a Jeweler's kit. Take the completed casing and the rune and combine them in the same kit. When this is done all that's left is to tailor the rune to the shawl with the pattern. Take the finished product to Borannin, I'm sure he's eager to speak with you.'

Step 4.1

Combine the Rune Casing Pattern, a Small Piece of Velium and 2 Platinum Bar in a Jeweler's Kit to receive the Rune Casing (Jewelry Trivial 152).

Note: the Runed Shawl you craft is ID 1198; the one you get back from Loremaster Borannin is ID 1199. Both shawls have the same Identify text. You can only show Loremaster Borannin your shawl one time.

Aaah… The Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl! I was always interested in it on Live, but never had the stomach to chase it.

Foreword

It is best to not look at the Coldain Prayer Shawl quest as an ‘overnight’ quest, but one you do piece by piece. Giving yourself a quota on what you need done and pacing yourself can really reduce burn out. Some tradeskills will be easier than others. The purpose of this guide is to add an addendum of tips to the excellent guide here.

You will need at least 6000pp to complete this quest. Most of that money will be spent in jewelcrafting, but you can mitigate prices with CHA buffs and ensuring you sell some things back. Some buffs to your INT or WIS can also make your skillpoints rise faster. There are a few instances you can make money back that we’ll discuss in this guide.

Some things you can do right off the bat are to (1. see how many skill points you have with your class guildmaster and (2. get yourself a few Hand Made Backpacks. Extra slots can really help when it comes to tradeskills.

Referenced records: Hand Made Backpack

Protip: Hold down Shift when you click on a stack to pick up the entire stack, hold CTRL to grab a single item. This will make your life so much easier. It makes tradeskill leveling so much faster and saves your arm/hand a lot of pain. You can also hold shift when buying/selling from merchants to buy/sell an entire stack of items. Same goes for holding CTRL to buy/sell single items to a merchant.

An overview on where tradeskills need to be for 100% trivial combines…

Baking: 127

Referenced records: Baking

Baking is a very easy skill to level up utilizing the guide. By carrying around a spit and components you can sit in a camp doing combines in your spare time. It is a cheap and easy process. Remember, store all food items in lower bags than your regular food/drink! You might accidentally eat them, and some components are annoyingly rare.

Pottery: 162

Referenced records: Pottery

Pottery can be annoying but is not very costly. You must be both near a merchant for pottery supplies and use the pottery wheel/kiln. Clay blocks also do not stack, so you will be making multiple trips. One of the good things in bringing this skill up to 148 is you do not need to use the kiln and can just keep making clay items and disposing of them through drop or destroy. When you get to 148, you then have to make vials that have components that you can’t get from the pottery merchant. I would not sweat it, as your final pottery combine that requires 162 can be done by another person with 162 in pottery and handed back to you! Consider it a shortcut. I feel Thurgadin Bank is the best place to do this tradeskill since you do not have to wander far.

Tailoring: 208

Referenced records: Tailoring

I struggled with tailoring the most due to components. Getting to 160 is a tough task. You will want to farm or purchase a couple dozen stacks of spider silk. Furthermore, you will be spending a bit of time in Crystal Caverns clearing the lvl 30 spiders again and again to get crystalline spider silk. The good news is spiders there drop lots of medallions, jewelry, and gems. Take them and sell them, as this paid for both Tailoring and Fletching for me. I’d bring my sewing kit, so you can save slots by turning the silk into swatches to make more inventory space. I probably went through 24-30 stacks. Until you get to the later Wu’s Armor sets you can do it in a large sewing kit, but when there are too many components you have to use a loom. I personally preferred the one at Outpost in OT.

Referenced records: Crystal Caverns

When you get to 160, you’re in a bit of trouble. The guide for tailoring insists you do quivers, but the truth is those lion hides are very rare drops and you need countless ones. Wyvern Armor is a better avenue.

Brewing is related closely to this skill, as you will need to make Heady Kiolas. Hundreds of them. I found I would make 10 stacks, do my combines in tailoring, and then make more Heady Kiolas.

Referenced records: Heady Kiola

Feeling lucky? I brought my tailoring up to 160 and did my 208 combine. I was lucky to get the component on my first shot. Risky combines can eat up components, but you can never lose your shawl piece doing them. I personally feel it is easier chasing down the components for the 208 combine to try it multiple times compared to the hundreds of combines of rarer/more expensive components. I got lucky, but it was a sound strategy.

Your final tailoring combine in 162. I did it at 160 and was fine, but I did add a little risk to the combine. At that point components are more painful, so consider doing wyvern armor combine to 162.

Brewing: 168

Referenced records: Brewing

Brewing is not the hardest of skills, but often requires many components and keeps you trapped beside a brew barrel for quite a while. Thurgadin has all of the components you need to get to 168. You may find yourself doing brewing more for tailoring than bringing up the skill itself!

A quick way to 151 brewing is doing Skull Ale

Referenced records: Skull Ale

Jewelcraft: 162

Referenced records: Jewelcraft

Jewelcraft (JC) moves quickly and can be done in a couple hours. You only combine two components; leaving you with a very smooth series of combines and sells when you run out of space. Get yourself a CHA buff and bank all of your negative CHA items (Hello, fellow Necromancers!) to reduce costs tremendously. Increase your INT/WIS to reduce the number of combines you must do. It is very costly, often taking up to 3000pp! I have seen folks half that with proper buffs. I recommend just hitting the jewelry store in Thurgadin.

Fletching: 168

Referenced records: Fletching

Fletching can be knocked out in a couple hours. You can carry the kit around with you to make arrows. It can get a little costly toward the end, but I enjoyed giving stacks of arrows to tanks in guild. You might not have the best quality arrows depending on the combines you did, but free is free. This skill cost me somewhere between 300pp-400pp.

Quest Protips

Try and duo with a friend when you can, but the quest can be done solo by a 50-60 person. The great thing about the Coldain Prayer Shawl is whether you are an epic raider or super casual you can both obtain the item if you are willing to put the work into it.

Pace yourself. Do a bit at a time. There is no rush.

When getting Siren Hairs you’re better off doing it in Cobalt Scar. Also, get yourself some Excellent Siren Scales for the Wenglawks Manly Purse quest. Great item.

Many components for the final combines can be purchased. Molkor Hides are very prized items and sell very well due to this quest. Consider them a good farming item if you can handle SG well enough.

Referenced records: Molkor Hide

It cannot be understated that Siren's Grotto is a very dangerous place. You have at least one component you must get from this zone. Work with a Druid who can charm sea horses and other monsters. I’m a fairly powerful Necromancer, but monsters there summon and have HP that is ridiculous. Druids and Enchanters do well here with charm. A friendly one hunting let me loot the NO DROP component I needed!

Referenced records: Siren's Grotto

Work with other people. This is what makes Classic EQ great! You will bump into others getting components for their own shawls. Help them with buffs, advice, and team up when you can. Save extra components to help other folks running the quest. Guildmates also appreciate spare items you may come across!

As mentionned above, most people go 162 tailoring instead of the 208 trivial and attempt the shawl with a 57,5% success rate.

Tailoring is indeed very expensive and time consuming. The drop rate on the most farmed fur/hides to skill up is around 10% and on most recipes, there are other components that are tedious to come by, taking forever to solo farm. If you go the market route, assuming you can find sellers, the cheapest combines will cost you around 60pp per try. Seeing you need around 10 combines for 1 skill up on average with a 255 main stat, we're talking of an investment of at least 30 000pp just to get from 158 to 208. If you don't have that kind of money, it will take you a couple hundred hours to farm the materials.

On the other hand, I've personally failed the shawl 6 times at 165 tailoring, meaning I had to gather the materials 7 times. The manticore manes and the frost giant beards are easy but the wolf whiskers and the siren hair seem to have a 5-10%ish drop rate. The wolves are easy but the sirens are a very annoying farm for many classes despite their relatively low level. Some are clumped up, most of the fights are underwater, they hit hard and cast haste, damage shield, charm, slow, tash, dispel, dot and nuke. They also ruin your siren's grotto faction so not many able players will be willing to help you.

All this to say yes, the 162 route is cheaper but be warned even though it is probably faster, it still remains a major pain if you're unlucky with combines. I've done half of it during a double loot xmas week and despite being relatively patient, it still was a very frustrating and annoying undertaking, I just don't want to imagine doing it as many times under normal loot rules. I could still solo all the drops though, so if it is difficult or impossible for your class and you need help doing it and doing it 6 times isn't really an option, going over 162 tailoring will help you with that but it is a tough pill to swallow if you didn't have any plans to actually raise tailoring to 200-250.

Good luck.
