Talk:Monk Shackle Quests

Shackle of Scale/Shackle of Tynnonium

Note: Did the Shackle of Scale ever exist? It did but the key no longer drops. See the P99 Bug Report & alla page

From ZAM on 9/27/2002:

This quest is no more. This quest has ceased to be. This quest has passed into the great hereafter. This is a former quest! All you people are wasting your time reading about, asking questions about, and posting comments about (yes I know I'm doing just that, but this has to be said) a quest that has been long dead. I've been playing more than a year, and this quest died before I've even started playing. The simple fact is, YOU CAN NOT DO THIS QUEST. Why? Because the key that used to be in Karnor's Castle, that Venril Sathir guarded, NO LONGER DROPS. You can still get the other two items, but they won't do you a bit of good. (actually from what I hear, you can't get the broken key from the bloodgill marauder either, just the gem of yet to come off the gem oracle.) This quest has been entirely replaced with the new Shackle of Tynnomium (click the link here: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2146 ) which requires you to do the first seven shackles, dust through steel, and starts with Veltar in Dreadlands (the same guy you rescued from Droga, assuming you've done the steel shackle quest). If you noticed that the shackle of steel is better than the scale shackle, it's no mistake... it's because they upgraded the previous shackles while killing this quest, that now they finally got around to replacing. Shackle of Tynnomium is required for the finally completed Whistling Fist quest, too. If you still have these items: Gem of Yet to Come Broken Piece of a Key Ancient Thin Flute DESTROY THEM, they no longer have any use.
