Quest Steps

Step 1 Obtain the Ring of the Ancients

Ocean of Tears — Cyclops Island

Hunt cyclops on Cyclops Island until an ancient cyclops spawns. Any regular cyclops can serve as a placeholder for this rare spawn. The Ring of the Ancients always drops from the ancient cyclops — it is not a random drop.

Step 2 Obtain the Shadowed Rapier

Lavastorm Mountains (recommended)

The Shadowed Rapier is an uncommon drop from shadowed men. Lavastorm Mountains has 9 shadowed man spawn points and is the most efficient farming location.

The Shadowed Rapier is NO RENT — it will be destroyed at server reset if not equipped or in the bank. Loot it only when you are ready to turn in the quest.

Alternative zones:

Commonlands
Innothule Swamp
Lesser Faydark
Nektulos Forest
South Karana

Step 3 Gather 325 Platinum

The turn-in requires 325 platinum pieces in addition to the two items. Prepare this before heading to the Rathe Mountains so you don't risk losing the NO RENT rapier.

Step 4 Find and Turn In to Hasten Bootstrutter

The Rathe Mountains — Hill Giant Area

Hasten Bootstrutter is a rare spawn with four placeholders: a drake, a grizzly bear, Brother Zephyl, and Maldyn the Unkempt. Placeholders respawn every 5 minutes and path out of the Hill Giant area on spawn.

Clear placeholders and wait for Hasten to appear. Once he spawns, hand him the Ring of the Ancients, the Shadowed Rapier, and 325 platinum to receive your Journeyman's Boots.

Because the Shadowed Rapier is NO RENT, many players farm the rapier last and make the turn-in in a single session. Have all other items ready before looting it.
