Head/remains/bag

Bristle does wanter SouthWest of mBeo. He wanders around the small hills just past the short cirle of rocks with the wolves, I found him just in the South woods completly over the first, tallest hill beyond the rocks.
I too also tried the 'right-click'on NPC's when prompted to give the head and then the bag to their respective NPC's. Worked for me as well, so now I still have the head, the remains, and the bag. It must be a bug in the quest, though I have never tried that with any other quest before.

I did this quest on mordred ( yes, hte pvp server )... i haven't tested this little find on Merlin yet, but when i did it, i spent a long time looking for bristle, found him, then went to reidie.... I talked to her, and when she prompted me for the head, i merely right clicked on here again... Voila, the quest continued without me giving her the item, and i still had the head... Intrigued, i did the same thing with the bag ( still had it in my invo ) I had to log shortly after that, and such a thing hasn't happened since... like i said, i am still trying this again, if anyone has had this happen, i'd like to know if it was just a bug i had for a log.

to make bristle pop simply kill wug. worked for me several times now. wug dead, immediate pop of bristle.
works the other way round too btw. bristle dies, wug pops.

? Eruven wont talk to me
# Feb 23 2002 at 9:01 AM Rating: Default
I have done Little Wind and wear the Grass Bracelet. The only quest I have hanging is Mild Deception and I am a 14th Season Ranger. Why won't Eruven talk to me? I even tried "assitant."

Thanks for any help.

Just like to point out that Bristle is SOUTHwest of Tir na mBeo.
RE: Bristle
# Jan 12 2002 at 2:44 AM Rating: Default
Yep, and much more south than west. if you look south from mBeo you will see a hill, which is where Bistle spawns. I think Mythic may need to watch some Sesame Street in order to master the concepts of near, far and direction.

A druid doing Lambent quests in EQ? Only bards can wear Lambent! He was probably twinking an alt.

I completed this quest and got Bristle's Fang, and I'm a Druid. Now, someone please explain to me: what good is a piercing weapon to a Druid? Can't even use the damn thing, and nobody wants to buy it off me.
RE: Stupid
# Dec 11 2001 at 3:26 AM Rating: Default
As a Blademaster I would love to have 2 or 3 of these. I am sure there is a some empathy item quest I could do and trade you for your bristle.
RE: Stupid
# Dec 11 2001 at 2:22 AM Rating: Default
I did the full lambent armor with my druid in EQ and you know what ? My druid was not able to wear lambent plate ...

Give this fang to a young ranger/nightshade of your realm and enjoy the questing engine.
eruven's talk
# Dec 02 2001 at 3:04 AM Rating: Default
What you have to do is type the word he's trying to say (can't remember what it was -- assistant i think -- but the correct word is obvious) and it runs along.

Got this and finished it on 1 Dec as a 13 ranger; don't think it's broken. You may have to have helped Reidie before, because as soon as i did eruvan started saying "i see you've helped reidie, come back when your bigger"

The quest is not working, its been broke for two weeks.. maybe someday it will get fixed...Eruven does not complete his talk gets stuck in middle.
RE: eruven
# Dec 02 2001 at 2:51 AM Rating: Default
Actually, you can still get the quest from him.
Simply type "an assistant" (without the quotes). Since clicking on the words in the brackets of a quest is the same as typing it out, if clicking doesn't work, try saying what's the brackets or /whisper it.

You have to talk to Eruven, Reidie does not start the quest.
RE: kweef
# Dec 12 2001 at 10:51 AM Rating: Default
I am having the same problem. I will try later while I have the bracelet although that would be strabge.

Hello,

I've just finished it. This weapon is yellow at 15 and +2 piercing is nice when I usually put every skill points in Stealth and Critical.

Something is nice also, if you equiped it in the 2Hand slot (on your back) it still gives +2 Piercing. I know a dagger in the back is not that nice but +2 piercing is :)

As Talus said, you need to complete lil'wind quest first, thanks a lot for that.
Nice item but...

Where is Eruven?

Connacht is not a town but area, right? So where in the Connacht area is Eruven?
RE: Where is Eruven?
# Nov 20 2001 at 4:45 PM Rating: Default
Eruven can be found just over the bridge in Connacht - Follow the road N - NE out of Ardee - right after the bidge is a small town with merchants - he is outside the first building.

I killed bristle for fun yesterday. I found him right behind mBeo. There is a field of rocks in between mBeo and the Sibra stone circle. I found him by the rock field.

I could not locate Bristle for the life of me. Any better description on where to find him? Is there a certain time to look?
