Quest Issue: May 2001 - Circlet of Falinkan

[Passenger]

This thread notes that the Circlet of the Falinkan quest was added in late May 2001, however, the quest was not flagged as such to allow for further testing. I don't believe this flag was ever set. As I recall, this quest was available from the launch of Velious on P99 Green.

The initial post above notes:

Rolandal in Wakening Lands, Kardakor and Taskmaster Abyott in Great Divide were not in the game per the timeline and were added with that patch.

Gkrean Prophet of Tallon and Staff Sergeant Drioc did exist prior to the patch, so only their quest items would need flagged.

A couple comments discussing the items shortly after the patch:

Teachings of the Gkrean

Anyone know what this is for? Noone in Skyshrine or PoG seems to be asking for it... at least not directly...

Re: Teachings of the Gkrean

ps - I'd be happy with a hint if it is something that has not been generally spoiled so far.

However, it appears Vilefang was a new addition:

●Waken Land Dragon Addes（the Safehouse）
　昨日のパッチでいたる所にNew NPCが追加されているようです。WLには新Dragonが追加されており、これがQuest持ちだとか。 Head of a Staff Sargent（KaelのDrioscから？）、GkreanからのItem（Kael Arena Mob）、DNのCracked Fang of a cursed（これは不明。Zlandicarかと思ったが、DNにVilefangというNamedが追 加されているらしい？　Lvl57から見てCon/Red）を集めて返すようなことが書かれてますが、真相とリワードItemはふめいです。CoVのQues t整備が始まったんでしょうかね？

From Google Translate:
●Waken Land Dragon Addes（the Safehouse)
It seems like New NPCs have been added everywhere in yesterday's patch. A new Dragon has been added to WL, and this is a Quest owner. Head of a Staff Sargent (from Kael's Driosc?)), Item from Gkrean (Kael Arena Mob), DN's Cracked Fang of a cursed (this is unknown. I thought it was Zlandicar, but it seems that the Named Vilefang has been added to the DN? From the point of view of Lvl57, it is written that Con/Red) is collected and returned, but the truth and reward item are fume. I wonder if the CoV Quest maintenance has begun?

Comparing this item list from Dragon Necropolis (April 2001 vs June 2001), we see the addition of Infestation, a drop exclusive to Vilefang.

A quest guide on Graffe's site captured on Aug 2001 describes the item requirements:

...
* a chipped fang (picture needed) - Drops from Vilefang in Dragon Necropolis. When you go down the ramp proceed to Zlandicar's lair, the serpent in the water there has been replaced with Vilefang. Can be taken out easily by a group of high levels. He blinds and casts. Seems to be on a 24+ hour spawn, but has no PHs.

Looking at the quest text from the guide, I think it's interesting to note that Drioc and Gkrean are mentioned by name (at least in part) in the quest text from Rolandal, whereas Vilefang is referred to generically. Devs not wanting to spoil a new addition, perhaps?
