DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

Characters that were created after Patch Version 1.79 do not receive this Epic quest.


Per patch 1.70:

- Seek the Moonstone - The area around Macnol's tower has been named the Ruined Tower of Tir na mBeo to help players locate the correct place.


1. Speak to your trainer in Tir na Nog. He/she will tell you to speak to
Fagan in Mag Mell.

2. Speak to Fagan in Mag Mell and get the quest. He gives you a ring and
tells you to talk to Macnol in the ruined tower of Tir na mBeo.

3. Go to Ardee and take the horse route to East Lough Derg. Head north
towards the grove of trees. There will be many Dergans. Macnol spawns inside
the tower, loc: 59280, 13895. The towers entrance is on the north side and he is surrounded by several guards. Do not kill any of the Dergans or you will take a faction hit and Macnol will not talk to you. Be sure to be wearing Fagan’s ring.

4. If the Dergan are already aggressive to you, head south to find Curmudgeons. The best place to hunt is the Curmudgeon campsite southeast of the Parthanan Farm. Keep hunting Curmudgeon until you are neutral to the Dergan. It may take many kills. I believe killing the Curm leader, Hughar, in the campsite will move your faction significantly. This is unproven but
the Dergan were neutral to me right after killing him.

5. Talk to Macnol. He’ll ask you to go kill Nock, a named Sheevra.

6. From the parthanian farm, head further south. Eventually you will come to a single stone hut with a cart close by. In this camp you see normal Sheevra
Fighters and Archers. Nock spawns inside the hut (loc=54441,924). Kill him and get his head. Sheevra are also Siabra so don’t kill any of them. Just pull out Nock and kill him.(has been seen on the dergen island at loc 40776, 54122)

7. Back to Macnol. If the Dergan are aggressive to you again, go back and
kill Curms until they aren’t. Wear your ring.

8. Give the head to Macnol. He will thank you and then attack you so be
ready. His guards will defend him so either come with a group or be ready to
run.

9. Go back to Mag Mell and talk to Fagan, then give him the signet ring. You will get the ring back, and two more quest paths will open up.

Journal says you should talk to the Old or the Crone. Neither are named but
the Old is Merle the Old and the Crone is Maeve the Crone. Merle is behind
Howth on a hill and that quest is Merle's Informant. You must complete
Merle’s Informant before talking to Maeve. Maeve the Crone is between Ardee
and the mudman spot in a hut. Maeve will respond, but if you’re less than
level 20 at this point, she’ll ask you to return when you are stronger.

Official hint (from Camelot Herald):
  • Remember to wear Fagan's Signet!!

  • Reward:
      Fagan's Signet Ring

    Where's Nock?
    # Mar 22 2002 at 7:40 PM Rating: Default
    I'm looking at the instructions and they don't make sense. Head SOUTH from the Parth farm? You'd have to head North to the Parth farm from MacNoll just so you can go south again. What the heck would you do that for?
    Can anyone tell me the general locale of Nock--with directions that make more sense that what we're given?
    Thanks.
    RE: Where's Nock?
    # Mar 23 2002 at 8:46 AM Rating: Default
    The General Direction is correct, it's south, following the riverbank.

    The location is : Silver mountain - 54346, 917, 5167.

    Hope it helps.
    Nock???

    I'm pretty sure I'm at the right place, with the stone hut, the wagon, and the shevra dudes, but no Nock! I've been there at all times of the day, and he's never there... any ideas where the crap this guy is?

    Thanks in advance for any tips. =)

    Rory is step 11 and I think you need to be level 30 before you can continue the quest. Rory is at 3832, 3215 in bog of cullen. He is to the left of the entrance to sheeroe hills up on the side of the hill.

    Tracker is at 45,491 10, 880. In the woods just passed Cennai to the left of the road, in the area with the gurite's. I had to kill alot of the gurrite's to get him to spawn. He spawned during the day.

    He's behind the pavilion that is empty. Not the one with Viola or what ever her name was in it. It took me a little while to find him as well.

    K took me ages to find her, but here it is, on the way to ic jump off at that mini town b4 ic, keep headin SW for AGES, its in the big tall trees where no other monsters are at all, only a big hollow tree wif kimba in it, outside is a guard

    RE: Where Kimba is
    # May 02 2002 at 3:19 PM Rating: Default
    actually a horse from Connla right to her front door is the easiest way. She resides in a tree in the small outpost of Culraid.
    Another step-by-step
    # Feb 22 2002 at 5:24 AM Rating: Default
    I found the first summary, "Full Info so far" in this post VERY useful, so I am going to follow it up. Then again, I am hardly done with this, and I have a few questions of my own. Anyway:

    1) Do as the "Full info so far" post says above and you will get through alot of this ordeal (wow do I hate this quest, but the rewards are key).

    2) as many have noted, the moon lake is on the map you got with the game, to the SE of Callie.

    3) Watcher Rylie didn't spawn the first night, but was there the second. I spoke to him, and he gave me the collar and some snazzy pants (bard here). You definately get some kind of reward from this step. You also probably die as some big purple meanies come down on the camp when Rylie is done chatting.

    4)Criostan's Promise is much like the Informant mini/side quest, only you get to see it in your journal. Joy!

    5) To begin, you need to find Kimba. Kimba can be found by going to a small shack on the road to Innis, and heading west/SW. The shack I referr to has some name like it is a town, but is quite small. Weapons are sold there. The way to Kimbas is littered with some yellow and red aggro's. Kimba lives in a tree with a door in the midst of redwoods, hard to miss. Don't confuse this one with the old hermits house which looks the same.

    6) say "promise" to her and follow the dialogue.

    7) hop over to Innis and speak to Siobahn the smith (who ******* alot about many things unrelated tot he quest...) and tells you to look for a big merman (err, woman) on a plateu.

    8) Whatever. Go west, over the lake (as suggested above, my thanks to you anonymous person!) The island has Farie Horses, which had no hate for me. The far shore had the infamous pookah and lots of sibara, but if you can dodge all that and climb the hill (go west. alot.) you will find a pond (not on the map as such) in the trees and a HUGE merman looking thing. She talks to you and gives you the wand. A chanter I was with att he time said she neeed to say "promise" to her as well, I just had to click.

    9)I got the wand, I took it back to Ainrehb, I got a neat reward and some cash and xp. Now I am ready to move on with the moonstone qust, and so are you. The issue is that I cannot find the fricking hounds. Anywhere. At all. Someone help us out here!


    Notes: if at any time you can't seem to get an NPC to talk to you, make sure you got your ******* signet ring on. As a Bard, I hate this thing item wise...it does nothing for me with no cha on it, and I have better 12th level items for those fingers. But, I have found that nearly EVERY npc involved with this won't do more than look your way unless you have that ring on. So whatever you do don't sell it or drop it or anything, it is your ticket to epicness. I have a hunch that the hounds want this too, in adition to handing them the collar. If only I knew where to look...

    The hounds that you need to "talk" to can be found near where Macnol is (ruined tower of Tir na Me Beo) as for which one you give the collar too..who knows! i am still doing the part that you so graciously put in your detailed description (thanks!)

    Wher eis the tracker?
    # Feb 17 2002 at 11:33 PM Rating: Default
    Where is this tracker I'm supposed to find and (presumably) kill. According to the info from the hounds, he was seen near Ceanni heading South on the road, and he is allied with siog waylayers and pillers. The woods just south of Ceanni are filled with these mobs, but no tracker.

    HELP!

    you will find the tracker south from ceanni, in the wood...go a little west from the road, you ll find him in red with 2 other footpads. He is lvl 25 and not that hard to kill. Then you ll have to get the enchanted note to the enchanter in IC. he will tell you to find a monster in bog of cullen. Im stuck at this point, the place is way too dangerous
    No Reward for level 20 quest?
    # Feb 07 2002 at 9:47 PM Rating: Default
    I am a 22 Champ, and I have done the follow-up to this quest (I am doing the level 20 part of it...), where you get the collar to hand the one of the two wolves. I have tried handing it to both of them, they respond by telling me to come back when I'm a higher level, which makes sense so when I hit level 25. But if this signals the end of the level 20 quest, where is my reward? Warcry says I am supposed to get some armor, a Scale Chestpiece... any suggestions anyone?
    RE: No Reward for level 20 quest?
    # Feb 12 2002 at 1:03 AM Rating: Default
    I'm with you. I'm a nightshade. After I get killed by the trackers when talking with the empyrean watchman, I found out all i got from him was the collar. No +6 quick/+6 dex cloak like I was supossed to. Everyone else in my guild got it AND the collar. Not me, i just got the collar. I was soooooo looking forward to that cloak. Kept telling my GM the reason why I didn't wear a cloak was because i was waiting for that one.

    Should I /appeal?
    RE: No Reward for level 20 quest?
    # Mar 24 2002 at 12:28 AM Rating: Default
    I would if i were you, because I am Nightshade as well, and i got the cloak and the collar as well, so it isnt a class problem. Perhaps you died before you recieved the cloak... those trackers came in for the kill on me pretty fast
    where is the darn tracker

    It seems that no one on the net has posted this yet.. Finding Kimba is as easy as taking the horse (from Connla or Innis Carthaig) to Culraid. He's right there where the horse drops you off, inside the tree-house.

    Meave will not respond to me, i have done everything up to this point, i tried giving her the ring, i've tried various key words, nothing seems to work. I was told that at lvl 19 i had to be lvl 20 to get her to respond, but she still does nothing at lvl 20, any ideas would greatly be appreciated
    RE: Meave the crone
    # Mar 24 2002 at 12:30 AM Rating: Default
    You need to be lvl 20 and wearing the ring (****** Signet) at the same time that you talk to her

    There's an outpost along the road between Connla and Innis Carthaig where they sell weapons and stuff. Stand at it and face south, you'll see a circle of stones. Go to them, then head directly west from there. She's in a treehouse in the woods.
