DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

Talk to Criofan the Fisherman (on the bridge north of Connla), and he will tell you his story of losing his pearl ring to his pet golden fish. It swam up the river, up a stream, and he thinks an Siabran Kedger named Kaen, has caught the fish. He requires you to first get him a Kedger scaling knife from an Eriu Kedger, and then get his golden fish from Kaen (you need not return to him between the tasks, just need to do the things in that order).

Kaen Kedger (reported to be a day spawn only) is hidden behind a building and you will not get him from the valley floor. Go up the east hillside and work your way between the 2 buildings. Look down and you will see him standing there. Remember to kill a Kedger first, which shouldn't be difficult as they are out in plain view and a lower lvl than the Henters and others running around. Also some of them wander very fast, very far and very aggressively, so you might want to watch them for a couple of minutes if you need to get close to the camp. Everything was no worse than yellow to me and were all easy kills. Nothing added, but I was careful to avoid any that were near others.

The requests are simple, and took me about 10 minutes to find the camp, and obtain the items. Once you return the things to Criofan, he is so overjoyed, he gives you Kedger's Gilded Boots.

FYI: Criofan required an additional step of fetching the stomach lining of a Fearie Beetle in Lough Gur to make the boots out of. Another needed a Curmudgeon Scout (loc=45k,30k near Innis)

If you can't wear leather armor and already completed this quest, you can turn your boots back in to Criofan, and he gives you Kedger's Quick Boots

Did this with a 20 Nightshade. Was pretty simple. Location of Kaen Kedger where he popped for me was 51000/45400. He was not there when I first arrived. (The way I got to the village was to do a /faceloc 51000 45400 from the bridge where Criofan fisherman is and just ran from there. There are some red-purp Ire wolves that wander around, but they were easy to avoid.)
--Small edit here..these ARE aggressive

The camp was made of blue/yellow/orange enemies. I killed a blue kedger and got the knife, then killed about three more before Kaen Kedger popped on the east hill at the location givin above. It took about 30 minutes for him to pop, maybe a bit less. He was yellow to a 20 and when I pulled him, none others came with him. Was pretty easy to deal with and got the fish from him.

Went back and gave everything to the fisherman, he got his ring back then sent me to go get a pouch from a parthanon. I hopped on a horse from Connla to Innis Carthaig and ran to the parth farm that is very near it. It's about a 30 second run to get there and is pretty much straight North-NorthEast from the stable master in Innis. Killed a blue parth, got the 'leather seed pouch', hopped another horse back and jumped at the bridge. Gave fisherman this pouch and he made and gave me the boots which con yellow to level 20.

This quest was a real pain. The Erius conned blue to red to Lv 20 and i had neutral Siabra faction in the beginning so getting the knife from a kedger was no prob. And then...i waited bout 3 real hours for Kean Kedger to spawn :(
I read that he will spawn between the 2 Huts on the east side, so i waited there but only 1 eriu was there, standing at a tree. I thought this might be a placeholder and killed him again and again. No, it wasnt the placeholder, it just gave me negative siabra faction *g*
He spawned between the 2 Huts, close to the large one and conned yellow to 20.
Criofan then sent me to kill a curmudgeon fighter. There's a camp near Innis and they all conned blue to 20. Easy kill, delivered the item to Criofan and got the boots :)

I have a problem... What is that Feud Quest named in the first line? I have not made any quest with this name, and Criofan does not sepak to me... I want that boots :_(
RE: Criofan??? Are you there??
# May 19 2002 at 7:04 AM Rating: Default
FEUD quest is for mage class only, so, if this quest must be done before Criofan, Criofan CANT be done by all classes, only by mage class too.

Lashrina dont speak to me, nor the fisherman.

lvl20 Warden

!! Mythic sucks a lot with their quests !!

# May 22 2002 at 12:18 PM Rating: Default
Don't be so rough! Patches are for this, don't you think? Things like this happens, and must be repaired step by step. Write Mythic about this, and perhaps you (we) could get something :)
Be patient. I only see people angry because this or that, but i don't see anyone telling how good this is, or about the great quality of the game!

Deadly Nightshade.

oops.. :( I've removed the link to WarCry giving info on The Feud quest, but isn't it annoying that one of the original quests like The Feud still isn't listed here, but one of the new ones like "Spicket, Spitit and Spankit" is..?

Yeah too bad people don't submit that stuff huh? They gripe and complain, but never want to help out. Like an angry old man, feed me woman!! But never wants to watch the kids so she can cook. heh
Disappointed...

Some questions answered
# Mar 06 2002 at 11:34 AM Rating: Decent
Noticed some of the questions here and can give this info.

Criofan would not talk to me until I finished the Feud Quest.

Kean Kedger is hidden behind a building and you will not get him from the valley floor. Go up the east hillside and work your way between the 2 buildings. Look down and you will see him standing there. Remember to kill a Kedger first, which shouldn't be difficult as they are out in plain view and a lower lvl than the Henters and others running around. Also some of them wander very fast, very far and very aggressively, so you might want to watch them for a couple of minutes if you need to get close to the camp. Everything was no worse than yellow to me and were all easy kills. Nothing added, but I was careful to avoid any that were near others.

I'm a 21 Eld and it took me about 30 minutes to do the quest. Was sent up to LG to kill a curmudgeon fighter to get the boots. Boots are yellow to me, and it appears he'll make your boots according to your class. Safest approach is no doubt from the pond, but if you're brave and in a hurry you can get close to the camp just by going due East and slightly north from the brdige. It'll be the second valley over then just look North. Watch out for badgers and ire wolves by this route.

Hope this helps
Heads Up for Rangers
# Feb 16 2002 at 4:18 PM Rating: Default
got this quest as a 20 ranger, had no idea what it was about, so I came here to look. Dissapointment ensued. The boots rangers get at 20 as part of our epic are AF40 +12dex and 6%energy. Much better than these boots. Now I have to complete the durn quest to get it out of my log. Just wanna heads up for rangers, only do this quest if you really feel like it. Ah well, killing Siabra is never a bad thing I guess =)

If you can't wear leather armor and already completed this quest, you can turn your boots back in to Criofan, and he gives you Kedger's Quick Boots. Stats to come shortly.
Additional Step

FYI: Criofan required an additional step of fetching the stomach lining of a Farie Beetle in Lough Gur to make the boots out of.

I had to kill a curmudgeon Scout. Wasn't too hard, found them off the road just inside of Lough Gur passed the little outpost. But I'm a 22 Nightshade. Boots roxor by the way

# Feb 01 2002 at 4:11 AM Rating: Default
Hmm, i'm a mortal enemy of Siabra's so this was a problem from the start. At Lv23 as a Blademaster I found the camp. Most of them conned yellow-orange, although one kedger was green who I got the knife from. I killed a few yellow siabra's but couldn't find or get Kaen to spawn.

Greetings !
When I got the quest Crifan told me to get the knife from a "eriu kedger" but I dont know if there is any difference between them and siabra kedgers ??

RE: Kedgers
# Jan 09 2002 at 2:38 PM Rating: Good

The siabra were renamed for their location,
the ones in Silvermine Mts area are now Eriu,
those in Lough Derg East are Siog, the ones
in the Cliffs are now Moheran...

So, yes, its the one you want :)

Toodles,
RE: Kedgers

Silvermine Mountains = Sheevra
Shannon Estuary = Eriu
Lough Derg = Dergan
Valley of Bri Leith = Siog
