[Ennewi]

To summarize the contents of link initially provided in OP...

Athrin spawns at 9pm and despawns at 1-3am (inconclusive) in the Lions Mane tavern, wearing full chain or platemail. Key words to initiate dialogue with Athrin are "what scroll". The reward at level 9 is approx one bubble of xp, 50gp, and the ring.

The thief spawns at temple entrance in North Qeynos, either at the teleporter or the "exit" platform out front, between levels 9 and 35 (possibly higher) at 11pm and will run to the Qeynos Hills zoneline where he then despawns.

Level 16 druid completely buffed, I went to attack Nixx, and the thief ran up behind me and backstabbed me for 220 hit points, punched me, pierced me (dont remember the last two hit point amounts) and I was back at level 15. Lovely level range for a character in what many consider a "newbie-zone" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The thief may have been 9, but the first time i killed him he was blue to me (40 lvl druid). The second time he was green. Obviously he spawns at various levels. So becareful and make sure to con him.

i have done this quest multiple times and have figured a pretty good idea on how his level is decided -> but first you need to know that there are 2 ways to do this quest: first talk to athrin or just kill thief and bring loot to athrin

If you want to have a good almost even fight then first go to athrin and make sure you initiate the quest, not a friend or group member etc. Then when the thief spawns he will be approximately your level give or take 1. HOWEVER, this can be extremely frustrating if someone else has initiated quest before you because the thief will be suited for their level. (if a newbie does it , then u can KS a green for no exp but still do the quest [like me [You must be logged in to view images.

No I don't think it works that way. The second time I initated the quest and he was green. The first time I killed him (when he was blue) I didnt initiate it he just spawned and i blasted him. When I spoke to Athrin i guessed at what was to be said to him, not knowing if it would work. But it did and then i knew what to do with the scroll.

I just wish i could figure out what ones does with these 3 words and the tome that the Loathsomes drop.

Wow, did this last night, and they have really buffed this guy up. He killed by lvl 11 shaman in about five hits, over 55hp per hit. Careful on this one, it is pretty dangerous for lower levels now.

Yes, the thief seems to range from about 20 to 24 or 25. He cons from blue to red to my 22 ranger. THAT was a surprise [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

hey,
the info given is kina vague, so here's a better description of the quest, everything except the locs of the npcs:

go to the Lions Mane tavern, not the inn, the tavern. get there at about 9pm, sit with your back to the bar. soon a dude in platemail (Althin) will spawn. hail him and then say "what scroll" he will respond to both with a message about thieves.

now run to the entrance to the temple of live, and sit just past that little inner wall, facing the fling saucer, wait till 11pm. kill the thief that spawns there, if you're a meleer you'lll need a ranged weapon 'cause he ignores you until you do damage to him.

take the scroll you get from him, and run back to Althin. he despawns at 1am, so be quick. give him the scroll, and you'll get the ring, 50gold, and almost a bubble of XP at 9th lvl.

THis quest doesn't work on the Innoruuk server, so don't even try it, even if you see the thief running by and a monk chasing him. That's just me er, um, ah! testing if thy've fixed it! ya! that's it! er, hm, mmm..... bye [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I camp him right at the entrance to the temple of life. Twice while trying to apprehend him, I've been attacked by Velarte Selire. Be careful where you start combat, I'd wait till he's around the corner.

not true.

As much as Qeynos = Sony EQ an its kinda funny,

The harpys head tavern DID start the quest and DOES give you the trigger word.


I post on 'flameplay' all the time and hardly ask for anything.

I am not a 'Rude Individual' nor 'A Thief'

The thief will spawn where the teleporter from the Flying Saucer. He makes a bee line for zone and if he makes it to the zone line he will despawn. The thief, and he is named "a theif," is around level 9 or 10. Fairly easy quest, and after I figured out the spawn time pattern, it is a descent money maker as well. Got 6 rings, and and about 5 pp worth of change every time I did it.

What am I missing here??

Okay first of all I've found out that Athrin is only around for a short time at night. I couldn't figure out how to get him to talk about anything. Finally I just asked him about a scroll and he said some ruffians took it.

So, I go to North Qeynos and sat there for hours, tracking anything unusual. I didn't track anything called "thief" at all.

This is a one hour quest? I've already spent 4 hours on it and have gotten nowhere! Can someone please supply more specific information? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Athrin spawns in the tavern area of The Lion's Mane Inn in South Qeynos. He is the big guy standing in the corner in full plate armor. You can hail him if you like, but all you have to do is give him the scroll.

More evidence that the rings were given out as rewards during GM events.

This event took place today, I got a ring, and my friend, a lvl 8 Druid, was roleplaying very well in fron of the GM. He got the BP, and on my server (Sullon Zek), the evils were very mad. They nuked the heck out of him and CC'd him for a while. But still, this is one great piece of armor

Ya I was involved in the GM event on Brell. was alot of fun. Was playing a lvl 23 war alt of mine at the time. Bunch of us got rings with a charge of greater healing for helping out with the quest. Not to bad. I can say that whoever gets this BP on each server has got to be very happy indeed. I know i would. I dont think this is a melee or hybrid only chest item. Who ever got it deserved it. The low wt makes it good for all classes. Grats to anyone who got this wonderfull BP. I can only hope to get as lucky in the next GM event in the future.
