Steps
Starting the Quest
- Find Tabbin Juniper in Kylong Plains.
- He wanders up and down the road to Ryjesium Peaks near The Brute Gathering and Brakthyr's Post, somewhere around ( 250, 157, -1240 ) or ( 356, 286, -1523 ) .
- The guards in Terens Grasp will give you a location wisp if you ask them to search for him (right-click the guard and select "Find NPC").
- Tabbin sends you into Karnor's Castle to find 3 items which you may obtain in any order: a drum, a mandolin, and a performance mask.
- The Mask is a small chest drop from any trash mobs in zone, and mobs can be grey.(Tested 4/3/2010)
- The Mandolin drops from an iksar entertainer in the mess hall (5 min respawn). Mess hall is located ( -143, -55, 180 )
- The Drum can be found in Commander's Quarters inside of a chest:
- Make sure you have show illusions ON in your Person a window and click on the Painting ( -189, -41, 89 ) , across the room from the chest.
- Click the chest ( -189, -41, 53 ) in order to get the update.
- If you have chosen to hide illusions, this step will bug and you will not get the drum from the chest when you click on it. If you get bugged you need to camp and relog to fix it.
- Return to Tabbin Juniper. He now gives you a book with information about the Maiden of Masks. Unfortunately, he has torn out all the pages except for the first page, as he used the other pages as IOU's to pay his tabs at different bars across Norrath.
Getting the pages
- Obtain page 2. Go to Omen's Call in the Fens of Nathsar and speak to Goldie Sams. It turns out Tabbin owes her 185 platinum and 2 copper. Thankfully she lets you pay off the debt by bringing her fish meat. Complete the subquest Paying Off a Tab: Fish Fry by killing 100 fishmen for auto-updates. There are plenty of fishmen in the ruins south of Omen's Call. Return to Goldie Sams. She gives you the page number 2 (a collection item) and a clue as to where you can find the next page.
- Obtain page 3. Head to The Estate of Unrest in Butcherblock Mountains. Page number 3 is a body drop off the The Sadistic Bartender.
- Due to the rapidly spawning elemental effects cast by the bartender, a DPS and healer are strongly recommended.
- Only one update per zone, so don't take another illusionist who needs the update.
- Page 4 is found in Kaladim. Click the page in the tavern room before the Queen ( -144, 45, -77 ) . This will spawn a level 83^^^ Golem. Kill it, and click the page again to get the update.
- The mob is root/stun/mezzable so is possible to defeat solo.
- Obtain page 5. For the next step, fetch a Cask of Blood Wine from Neriak. The cask is located in the D'Morte Inn in the very back of the New Foreign Quarters ( 173, 30, 200 ) .
- Invisibility works against all the guards, but only if you don't have any pets up (including deity and cosmetic pets)
- Head over to Kelethin in Greater Faydark. Speak to Jysolin Nerala in the tavern near the Granite Hills Acorn lift ( 203, 108, 342 ) . He sends you off to get a cask of Blood Wine, which you have already gathered. Give it to him for your update.
- Note that Jysolin doesn't have any quest icon above his head.
- Page 6 is obtained by visiting Rumdum ( -236, -55, 14 ) in the bar in East Freeport and giving away your Stein of Moggok.
- This obviously means you must completed the Stein of Moggok HQ and have the reward in your inventory. If you've sold it, you can buy it back from the Shady Swashbuckler (a bit less than 1p) on Nektulos Forest docks.
- The stein must be unmounted, or else Rumdum won't accept it.
- After completing this step, you may buy the stein back from the Shady Swashbuckler, so you do not have to permanently lose it.
- To obtain page 7, hail the bartender ( -450, 2, -135 ) in the Laughing Trout in Rivervale and offer to rescue a damsel in distress and save the world. He settles for a couple of gold though, so collect your page and be on your way.
- This step requires you to be able to speak and understand Stout.
- Page 8 can be found in The Golden Scepter in Maj'Dul. Be prepared to fight as you hail Ahzeem the bartermaster ( 64, 147, -145 ) on the bottom floor. After the second dialog choice, 2 groups of 4 83^^ guards spawn and auto-aggro you. After killing the groups speak to the bartender again to receive the page.
- Preferably, take a tank and a healer with you. You won't likely be able to solo them fast enough.
- You can let the mobs wipe you and then revive inside the Golden Scepter. This way you can take on the mobs one group at a time. Make sure to talk to Bartender before killing the mobs. Otherwise the kills do not count and you will get rushed again when talking to him trying to finish the step.
- Also note that the Bartender is an attackable NPC, so be careful with any blue AOE's. If he dies and you finish both encounters fast enough before his corpse despawns, you can still right-click and hail his corpse and get your update.
- Page 9 is from the Bartender Lanice ( -1898, -36, -612 ) in Windstalker Village in Antonica. She asks you to bring her a number of T8 carpenter craft, starting a subquest called Paying Off a Tab: Redecoration. You need to receive the following items to get quest updates (buying them off the broker will give you updates).
- Warning! Do not have the items in inventory when you first talk to her to get quest. She will take the items and not update the quest journal, so you wont get page. Only obtain the items after receiving the quest.
- Have 5-10pp available! These are all T8 house items that cost 10-30g/ea on the broker. You can save money by commissioning a Carpenter to craft them for you.
- (note) If you can make the house items yourself you can have someone trade the items back to you so your quest updates.
- Return to Lanice, hand in the furniture, and receive page 9 in return.
- For page 10, talk to Angelia Clayton in Starcrest Commune ( 729, -20, 260 ) . Go and speak to Molly Daysun who walks around the fountain west of the tavern.
- You'll get a new illusion: Human Youth, which is auto-scribed and will be found in your Knowledge book under Spells.
- Head over to Qeynos Harbor and talk to Nathan Ironforge, a small boy that can be found near the Clock of Ak'Anon or in the upper floor of the inn (you can use the guards to help find him). Make sure you have your new illusion active. You'll receive a doll from Nathan. Take the doll back to Molly who will give you Page 10 in return.
- Page 11 - Speak to the Bartender in Teren's Grasp Turluk Qukila ( 2200, 525, -980 ) . He will basically say he got rid of it. However, Tibby Joopin who's standing right next to the bartender calls for your attention. Speak to her to receive the last page. Make sure you examine the pages for the collection
- Head to the collector down by the Sokokar post, to turn in the collected pages and receive the book. ( 1931, 480, -771 )
- Return to Tibby. She gives you a challenge to find six different rare masks. In return she will reward you with a powerful wand.
Getting the six Masks
- Obtain the six masks in any order. Obtaining these masks will not grant any updates until you have turned them in to Tibby.

- The guards will drop a key, and the Captured Drogan Witchdoctor will attack you (84^^^ heroic that can charm). This mob hits like a truck; bringing help is a good idea.
- The Witchdoctor will only drop one mask per kill and has a 15 minute respawn timer.
- Mask covered in tropical feathers:
- Head to Barren Sky and speak with Hoo'Loh on Strifewind Isle ( 61, -20, -419 ) . Hoo'Loh is no longer on the cliff but rather on the ground of this isle, so you no longer have to climb the chains.
- If you've done the Hoo'Loh hat quest, you can get the Spiroc illusion for free. Otherwise it will cost you 5p. Hoo'Loh will give you a scroll which you have to scribe to get the illusion spell. If you try to buy another one, he will take your money, but you won't get another scroll if you already have one.
- Then head to Timorous Deep ( 1109, 20, -526 ) and, with the illusion on, speak to Twocan Jam (found on Mok Rent).
- You must be in illusion form or he will fly away and despawn (don't worry, he will respawn 2 minutes later).
