DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

You're asked by Finni to kill Nimh (rat). Upon entering Skona Ravine follow the north wall till you pass Werewolf Skulkers. Between there and the Witch (named NPC human) you will find some Wood Rats that spawn in the early night. If you're lucky one of them will be called Nimh. Plan on camping the spot for a few nights before you find Nimh though. On the plus side there are several yellows and oranges too keep you busy while you wait. (Note: It has been mentioned that the fastest way to get Nimh to spawn is to kill "Brush Cats")

[Step #1] Search for Nimh in Skona Ravine. (loc 20169,5649 also spotted at loc 21749,7300)

I found him at 11am game time.

You receive a Nimh's Curse from Nimh!
You have finished the Nimh's Secret quest.

Reward:
  Nimh's Curse

I got this quest at level 26, but I have not found Nimh until level 41. Nimh is a rare spawn, and the reward offers -15 to piety.

I would not recommend doing this quest.
don't even accept this quest

Basically sit there and wait for him to spawn. The wood rats are not even placeholders, and they don't spawn very fast anyway. I waited there three successive nights (log on for an hour or so each night, and watch for him while I do real life stuff around the house, not merely 3 nights game time)

He finally spawned on the third night while I was watching. The stone is about worthless.
found him

nimhs location
# Aug 01 2002 at 10:24 AM Rating: Default
the location is about 21k 4k-5k.. and not 50k..
he will spawn with the other rats.. took me 2 nights to wait for him.
nimhs curse is -15 piety cold 6% energy 6% dex 7.

while the piety malus sucks for a thane, I think its still decent for RVR..

anyone got the loc of rats please?
It's a pain

Yeah, it took me a long time to find Nimh. I camped him for about 2 hours. He can be found spawning anywhere from where the witch is at the tree all the way down to where the werewolves play hide and go seek around the trees. I felt was a little peeved once I got the stone and saw the stats.

I got a better stone from Darkness Falls.
Finni

The name of the quest npc is actually Finni, not Finne. There is also a Finna in town.

None of you read....

Gawd how could the person who submitted this quest not know the Secret of NIMH would be a rat? Hasn't anyone read Mrs.Frisby and the Rats of NIMH? Or seen the movie the 'Secret of NIMH'? Its about geneticly engineered rats... NIMH stands for the National Institue of Mental Heath. This is as cool as the EQ quest about the spider Charolette... I love it when they can mix the game and our own culture creativly, althow the the guy in Ft Atla named Lagg kinda bugs me.

Yeah, they should have had a female kobold named Frisby to initiate the quest, but I guess they can't get everything right, hehe.
Nimh's location
# Feb 06 2002 at 8:49 AM Rating: Default
Nimh spawns in the area around Witch's dead tree. When I killed him, he was due north of it, but have also heard he can be as far east as the werewolve skulkers. If he's not there when you arrive, kill the mobs in the area.... one of them is a placeholder. He will show up soon enough :)

I'm the one that sent this quest in. I've yet to go back to kill the lil bugger. The stats posted by Kidsidious are correct tho. This is definitely not a caster item. I would think it'd be great for a hunter or shadowblade. Mythic should have made this quest anti-healer and shaman cuz there's no way in hell they would use this item but oh well.

RE: old smoke
# Feb 04 2002 at 7:04 PM Rating: Default
Probably already found him, or don't care anymore, but he's a named svaewolf packleader near the bloodfelag camp in w. svaeland, near vindsaul. Just follow the road from aud, and go south from the two trunks. Practically same location as Ulga, but be careful, the other pack is adds when you attack Old Smoke.

This just isnt very good, especially for level 26. Heck at 16 you can get better, go kill old smoke.
RE: Bah

Think about it people! This is not a item for pious casters. It's for melee and skalds. As a skald I don't care what my piety is, as charisma decides my casting ability. Melee's don't care about the power bost either, but would love the dex bonus...

Sure thanes, rune/spirit masters and healer types need to look elsewhere. If it was good for everyone, you have a queue of players lined up all the way to Galplen for it.
