Bristlebane Deity Quest Guide

Bristlebane is the trickster God of of the thieves and the rogues. Causing grief and having fun doing it is the goal of those who take on this interesting deity. Not quite malicious, but always putting people on their guard, this God is the perfect choice for scouts of all types, but particularly suited to the rogues and the bards.

Bristlebane is a welcome addition to the deities of Norrath. Previously, the scouts lacked a true and obvious choice, but this is no longer the case! I think that many scouts are thrilled with this addition, and I hope all enjoy the antics of this devilish creature.

Luckily for those hoping to follow Bristlebane, he is a neutral God, so good or evil, all may partake in the fun and games!

To begin on your journey, please speak with Tobel Patadash, found on the docks of the Enchanted Lands. Keep in mind that a few things will be needed to progress through this series of quests. You will need to have renounced any previous allegiance to another deity, and you'll need a harvesting skill of at least 140. Those are things you might want to get out of the way before making your way to speak with Tobel.

Keep in mind that these quests are meant to progress in difficulty, and unless you are in your late 60s, you'll not be able to complete all of the quests. But once you do, you'll have a couple of altars, some nice bits of shiny bobbles, and a fabulous new cloak!

Trial By Pie (level 20 Solo) - He wants you to prank Garby Gingham Gigglegibber (Loc +75.93, -0.78, +0.35) a rival follower of Bristlebane and a self proclaimed “Profit”.  In order to do this you must bake a “Diabolic Spiced Pumpkin Pie”, a pie made from pumpkin, spices, and insanely hot peppers that you must gather. Speak with Roselia Goldencrust on the docks (Loc +38, +1.5, +35). She will have you gather a few items for the pie:

• Ginger Root - Found in the Butcherblock Mountains throughout the zone.
• Pack of Peppers - Bought from Preston Pepperpicker, found in Joleena's Restaurant, for 6s.
• Antonican Pumpkins - Found at McQuibble’s Farm in Antonica (Loc -1844.26, +22.27, -196.94).

Return to Roselia to have the pie made, give the pie to Garby, then return to Tobel for your reward.

Reward: Humble Altar of Bristlebane, and 1250 faction for Bristlebane

Prank'd (level 35 Solo) - Garby Gigglegibber wants revenge for the Diabolic Pie Prank that Tobel played on him and has thought up his own clever and original little prank to retaliate. He wants you to bake a disgusting pie and trick Tobel into eating it. Collect these pie ingredients:

• Foul Dirt - This is found in the water of the The Foul Stench (Loc +83.46, +10.47, -846.51) in Enchanted Lands, just outside Runnyeye.
• Wasp Guts - These are right there near Garby.
• Bugbear Parts - Bugbears are found in The Butcherblock Mountains at the Krullkiel Encampment (Loc +178.55, +265.23, -321.11). Any Bugbears will work, these are the most accessible.
• Wild Apples - This is where that harvesting skill comes in. You get these from the Mystical Natural Garden plants in Enchanted Lands.

Once you have all of the ingredients, return to the Enchanted Lands and to Garby Gigglegibber. He will turn these items into an “Uncooked Gigglegibber Pie”, which he then asks you to bake. Move to the fire located nearby (Loc +71.69, -0.99, +20.26). Take the pie back to Tobel at Garby’s request. Tobel will immediately refuse to eat it and tell you to take it back to Garby. After explaining to Garby that his Prank has failed, Garby will admit that he didn’t want Tobel to get sick anyway, and give you your choice of rewards.

Reward:

Coin Job (level 50 Solo) - See Tobel Patadash at the end of the Enchanted Land docks. It seems that Tobel is a bit insulted that Garby tried to prank him, and wants to teach him a lesson he’ll never forget. Knowing that all goblins love gold, he wants you to sneak into the Gigglegibber Secret Hideout and switch a bag of gold with a bag of gold foil wrapped chocolate coins.

He gives you a bag of candy coins and tells you that the secret hideout entrance is rumored to be in Rivervale. This is incorrect. The hideout entrance is located under the docks in the Bobick Village at (Loc +43.47, -29.38, +115.58) and marked by a manhole cover. Stealth or invisibility is required to do this quest. If you are caught by the Gigglegibber goblins you will be ejected from the instance and forced to start over again.

Inside the Gigglegibber Secret Hideout: 

Most of the goblins in the instance can see invisibility and stealth, so both patience and sneaking skill is required. Enter the zone and immediately move to the door at your left, sneaking in and examining the goblin vaults. The vaults will be locked and the quest will then updated, giving you the instructions to find the combination to the locks.

Leave this room and go back to the hallway, taking the sloping ramp to upward into the second chamber. Stay right, avoiding the guards and climb the seat to the makeshift “throne”. There will be a piece of parchment with the combination to the vault inscribed upon it.

(*note* The parchment may also spawn in some of the debris piles in this throne room, and not at the throne itself.)

Once you have combination, return to the vaults and make the switch, being sure not to be seen by the goblins. Return to Tobel Patadash and let him know that the job is completed. Tobel will gleefully ask you to check with Garby on the “discovery” of the coins.

Go to Garby and inquire about the coins. The goblins are overjoyed that the coins now “taste” better when they are cleaned by tongue, and take this prank to be a gift and sign from Bristlebane. Report this back to Toby and receive your rewards.

Reward: 12g, 65s, and +5000 Bristlebane Status

Pie Pilfering (level 65 Solo) - See Garby Gigglegibber in the Enchanted Lands. Garby, still trying to one-up Tobel has come up with a master plan to prank the Halflings. He wants to switch all of the pies that Rosalina Goldencrust is trying to sell with a big bag of gold. He is convinced that this is the ultimate prank and gives you the bag of gold to switch with the four pies on Rosalina’s table.

Go to Rosalina and try to trick her into leaving the table so that you may make the switch. She will not leave for any reason, and you cannot take the pies.

Go back to Garby and report this. Garby will tell you to give Rosalina his Idol of Good Fortune so that she will go pray at the altar of Bristlebane, and leave her pie stand long enough for you to make the switch. The only problem is, Garby has lost the idol and needs you to retrieve it. The idol is located in the Loping Planes in the Timorous Moor. (Loc -133.03, -5.31, +495.12).

Once you have retrieved the idol, return to the Enchanted Lands and give it to Rosalina who will then leave the pies unattended so that she may pray to Bristlebane. When Rosalina leaves, pick up all four pies and replace them with the big bag of gold. Speak to Rosalina again and she will be extremely happy that Bristlebane has answered her prayers.

Return to Garby who will be delighted that his “prank” did so well and you will be rewarded.

Reward: 13g, 81s, 73cp, +7500 Bristlebane Faction, and Garby’s Altar of Bristlebane

Cloak info: Mischief Personified: Shrinks Caster by 30% and Decreases Hate Gain of  Caster by 10% Mischief Amplified: Enlarges caster by 30% and Increases Damage Per Second of caster by 10.

Bristlebane's Beloved (level 70 Solo) - See Hoppert Barbinsteel in the Enchanted Lands at (Loc +36.89, +1.49, +44.82). A new player has decided to step in and prank both Tobel AND Garby, to remind them of the true ways of Bristlebane. In order to do this, Hoppert wants you to retrieve a very rare egg from Bristlebane’s Basin in Antonica so that he may further his prank against the two warring “Prophets”.

Bristlebane’s Basin is in the Shattered Vale instance in Antonica. (Loc -2281.32, -14.54, -55.36) and you need to be at least level 65 in order to zone in. As you zone into Bristlebane’s Basin, Iffatia Honeymeadow will begin to scream for help. Talk to her and she will point out that four “Exotic Animal Poachers” are trying to kill Bristlebane’s Beloved and she will ask you to kill the poachers.

The poachers are single encounter fights (not linked) and consist of four level 70 scouts. Dispatch the scouts and speak to Iffatia. Explain to her that you need an egg from the Beloved, and she will give you “Bristlebane’s Grain” to feed to the beast. Feed the beast “Bristlebane’s Grain” and you will receive the “Egg of the Bristlebane’s Beloved”. Take this egg back to Hoppert in the Enchanted lands.

Hoppert has decided that both Garby and Tobel need to be taught a lesson, and transforms you into the legendary Beloved in order to scare both men. Return, now as the Beloved, and chase both Garby and Tobel around the zone. Once they both scream in terror, return to Hoppert and change back to your normal form.

Reward: 28g, 98s, +10000 Bristlebane Status, Summon Beloved, and the Cloak of Mischief
