Objectives

Obtain 120 Rankbite Shell Fragments.

• Rankbite Shell Fragment x120

Description

The Shado-Pan fight. As such, their armor often gets cut, scratched, torn, and burned. And it's my job to repair it.

I'm no armorer, but I can repair a broken piece of mail as long as the hole's not too big.

I prefer to use shell fragments from the tortoises that live in the wild fields to the northeast. Get some for me, and I can keep more Shado-Pan armored and alive.

Progress

I refuse to let one of our kind fall just because of a broken set of armor.

Completion

Excellent. I'll get to repairing the armor tonight, once most everyone's returned.

Gains

• 196000 XP
• +100 reputation with Shado-Pan

Notes

Pick up  [25-35] Natural Antiseptic and  [25-35] A Proper Poultice before heading out. Don't focus on these quests to the exclusion of others—they're long-term gathering quests. The main chain starts with  [25-35] The Motives of the Mantid and  [25-35] Set the Mantid Back from Tai Ho.

Head northeast to the Underbough to start killing Longshadow Mushan and Rankbite Tortoises and looing Mao-Willows. Saliva drops in units of 56-79. Shell fragments drop in quantities of 8-12, and willows are gathered individually.
