Mistaken Identity

Quest Description

What do you want? Wonderful, another whining request for a refund on tuition. You know, experiences like that are invaluable ... and infrequent. Having the opportunity to test yourself under such realistic situations isn't something the college offers all students. Fine. Fine. You'll need to submit a refund request form in triplicate before I can return your 1,000,000 gold tuition. You'll need to get some signatures and a few other odds and ends.

-Aernya the Mistress of Admissions

Quest Objective

Quest Lore

Aernya gives you a form which comes pre-marked as a quest item. You need to get the signature of Gorrow the Mayor who can be found inside the Luna bank.


Oh blast! Not another of those forms. I'm so sick of this endless paperwork.
-Gorrow the Mayor

You Scratch My Back

Flowstone in Ilshenar.
Map of the Grimswind Ruins.

Quest Description

Heh. Heheheh. Good one. You're not a Bedlam student and you're definitely not eligible for a tuition refund. Heheheh. That old witch Aernya doesn't see as well as she used to you know. Otherwise, she would have ... hmmm, wait a minute. I sense a certain 'opportunity' here. I'll sign your forms in return for a little help with a project of my own. What do you say?

-Gorrow the Mayor

Quest Objective

Quest Lore

Gorrow requests from you to return to him some items found on Unicorns, Ki-Rins and Pixies. Pixies, Unicorns and Ki-Rins can be found at the Grimswind Ruins in Malas. Alternatively, Pixies and Unicorns can be found between the flowstone and the shrine of Spirituality in Ilshenar.

After you gathered all the required items, mark them as quest items and return to Gorrow the Mayor in Luna bank.


Oh excellent, you're back. I'll get the oven going. That thing about pixie legs, you see, is that they burn and dry out if you're not really careful. Taste just like chicken too!
-Gorrow the Mayor

Fooling Aernya

Quest Description

Now that I've signed your papers you'd better get back to that witch Aernya. Mmmm mmm smell those ribs!

-Gorrow the Mayor

Quest Objective

Quest Lore

Gorrow gives you the signed form which comes pre-marked as a quest item. You need to return it to Aernya the Mistress of Admissions who can be found near the healer in Umbra.

What? Hrmph. Gorrow signed your form did he? Let me see that. *squint*

Not Quite That Easy

Click on the Iron Maiden to enter Bedlam.

Quest Description

I wouldn't be too smug just yet, whiner. You still need Master Gnosos' signature before I can cut your refund. Last I heard, he's coordinating the recovery of the portions of the college that are currently overrun. *nasty smile* Off with you.

-Aernya the Mistress of Admissions

Quest Objective

Quest Lore

Aernya now wants the signature of Master Gnosos the Necromancer who can be found in Bedlam inside a building:

Made it through did you? Did you happen to see Red Death out there? Big horse, skeletal ... burning eyes? No? What's this? Forms? FORMS? I'm up to my eyebrows in ravenous out-of-control undead and you want a signature?
-Master Gnosos the Necromancer

Convince Me

Quest Description

I'm not signing any forms until the situation here is under control. So, you can either help out or you can forget getting your tuition refund. Which will it be? Help control the shambling dead?

-Master Gnosos the Necromancer

Quest Objective

Quest Lore

Master Gnosos wants you to kill some undead creaures in Bedlam so that the situation can be once again controlled. The hardest amongst these creatures is the Red Death, but it can be killed quickly by most PvM templates. When you slayed all the required creatures, return to Master Gnosos:

Pulled it off huh? Well then you've earned this signature!
-Master Gnosos the Necromancer

Tuition Reimbursement

Quest Description

Well, there you are. I've added my signature to that of Gorrow, so you should be set to return to Mistress Aernya and get your tuition refunded.

-Master Gnosos the Necromancer

Quest Objective

Quest Lore

Since all of the necessary signatures are on the form now, you can return to Aernya:

*disinterested stare* What? Oh, you've gotten your form filled in. How nice. *glare* And I'd hoped you'd drop this charade before I was forced to rub your nose in it. *nasty smile* You're not even a student and as such, you're not eligible for a refund -- you've never paid tuition. For your services, Master Gnosos has recommended you receive pay. So here. Now go away.
