Confirmed. I just got through and looted the Golden Fife of Travel tonight.
3 group "skeleton protectors" stood around the chest and will surprisingly kill you. They are too much for me at level 50 due to unexpected Siphon Life and a lot of HP.
I completed the first part "the art of scavenging" and "scavengers path" but he won't give me the "map fragments" quest next. He offers Odds and Ends, A Brush with Ambition, Supplies for the Priest and Gadai Shipment Schedule, nothing else.
7 days of 10 hours a day camping resulting in 26 Wind feathers with 26 absolutely empty corpses when looting... I get it's a rare item... I get it's a rare mob.. but seriously??
Not sure the cloak is dropping any longer. Killed Tyra a bunch of times over the last week and have gotten many earings, many tunics and an exe but 0 cloaks.
Doing this today and it wanted a "Novice Maple Small Shield" which is "Novice Small Shield" in the crafting schematics. It needs a Novice Small Shield Blank and a Novice Shield Handle.
just killed him near the availia bridge. It was after 6am and the other toads despawned but he did not. So I guess if he's up, he stays up.
Killed him and no quest drop, but I forgot to get the quest :( SO be sure you're on the quest!
This is now called Mystic's Tattered Leather Cap, 8 Armor, +1 Wisdom, +18 Hit Rating. The schematic is still called Initiate's. It's skill level 1 to craft.
Update April 2nd 2025: "The quest “Get Your Hands Dirty” has been disabled and will no longer be offered to characters. The item used by the quest is also no longer available for purchase.
