Summary

Sobane has heard some disturbing news from her husband, the head royal chef. She wishes to make a request concerning that tale, but first requires you to bring a "cathedral tapestry" to prove your integrity.

Walkthrough

  • Talk to Sobane in Southern San d'Oria. She'll have a quest for you she wants kept secret... and to prove you'll keep your lips shut she'll want a cathedral tapestry.
  • Get a cathedral tapestry off of Orcish Fighters in Yughott Grotto or Fort Ghelsba.
  • Speak to Sobane.
  • Head to Selbina, where you will find that the person you are looking for is nowhere to be found. Talk to the mayor, and he'll have no idea what you're talking about (liar). He will mention something about a diary he found, and that some key pages are missing... perhaps his lips will loosen if you help him find them.
  • Travel to Ordelle's Caves and hunt for an Ordelle Chest Key. Once you find a key, look for a Treasure Chest and open it. (Only people who have this quest flagged will receive some Torn-Out Pages. Thieves can open the chest and receive the key item using Thief's Tools or Living Key.
  • Return to Selbina and talk to the mayor again. He'll reveal some information to you which Sobane should find interesting.
  • Return to Sobane to complete this quest and to receive your reward.

Cunning earring
# Dec 01 2010 at 10:53 AM Rating: Decent
Thought it might help to have a more recent post on this. Got the tapestry by accident while camping for frugal cape. Looked up the quest and before heading to the caves checked the AH price and earring only going for 5k nowadays on Ramuh. Threw the tapestry to the ground as quickly as possible. Anyhow, long story short i'm not wasting my time. :)
is it worth it??

so i got this quest from her. and after a few days i decided to head to Yughott Grotto to knock out 2 quests with 1 trip [shaman garlic for 'warding vampires' and the cathedral tapestry for sobane]. i return with the tapestry and talked to her, traded it to her, over and over again. but all she says is 'my name is sobane and i am sharpening my knives'....did this happen to anyone else? what makes the quest negate itself?? it's still in my quest log though. really confused. any help?

I think it is lvl 3 Fame for this quest, but I'm not quite sure.

The easiest way to raise San d'Orian fame that I know of is to buy Millioncorn from the guy in the parade grounds in Northern San d'Oria and then use them for a quest in Selbina (Only the Best?-it's the guy standing next to two sheep). Just buy as much as you can hold, then run them down to Selbina and trade them all in, 3 at a time. It is far cheaper than rabbit hides, and there is no farming involved. Just to note though, San d'Oria needs to be in control of the Aragoneau region for him to have millioncorn in stock. There may be other places to get it, but I'm not sure on that.

Getting Key
# Jun 11 2006 at 7:51 PM Rating: Decent
Hey.. I think a pre req for this is Eco War Sandy. I had about 28 quests done and rank 5 and she just kept saying she was sharpening her knives.. I saw a taru run out of her house as he completed giving her the cathedral tap. I asked him which quests he had done and he said only 4 quests, I had done them all accept for Eco, so I did eco, went back to Sobane and I got the cut scene. As of now I just got the chest key and am looking for the chest in ordell caves. It dropped from a Goliath Beetle in the same part of the cave I did the PLD quest. Also some of the questions you guys post can be ansered by clicking on the links above, like click on "ordells chest key" to see which mobs drop it etc... Wish me luck!Sorry I'm a bad speller ><

Cunning earrings are 300k and rising on Seraph right now, so this quest is looking more and more inviting.
Cave Problems
# Jan 03 2006 at 3:20 AM Rating: Decent
Ok, maybe I'm missing something really obvious, but which part of ordelle's holds the mobs that drop the key? Which entrance into Ordelle's do I have to use? If it's the one all the way to the south (H-10) could someone explain how to get to that entrance.


EDIT: Well I found out what I was doing wrong. I found the holes you have to drop through and now it all makes sense! The lesson, as always, I'm an idiot.

Hope my stupidity helps someone!!

I'm a 39THF, can I pick the lock instead of farming the key? It will take much longer, and I will need the help of my linkshell (that's the biggest drawback, I still don't have rank 3).

Cunning Earring sells for 30k on AH on Gilgamesh so the reward is pretty decent for a trip to ghelsba for tapestry, selbina then ordel's for key/chest/pages, then back to selb and finally home to sandy. The ordel's key and finding the chest are the worst part but the whole thing can be done in 90-120 minutes (just your luck getting keys and finding chest)

soloing this quest
# Aug 16 2005 at 3:24 PM Rating: Decent
I soloed this quest rdm44/whm22 with ease. Key dropped off Goliath Beetle.

(It took me 2 hours because it was the first time I had been there and the map is dicontinuous and I had to dot-the-dot! ^^)

Someone opened the chest while I was looking around and the chest reppeared in the same place (S.W. of waterfall chamber)

BUT IF YOU DO THEN Y IN HEL DID I GET THE TEPSTRY

I DONT HAVE IT INSTELLLD SO DID SOM THINKING

IF YOU HAVE THE MAYERS CALY QUST ACTIV YOU WONT BE ALBE TO ACTIVATE THSO QUST

translates into:
as it seems you all say you need CoP installed; but, if you do, then why in hell did i get the tapestry. I don't have it installed. So i did some thinking... if you have the Mayor's Clay Quest active, then you won't be able to activate this one.

it's actually funny. It does make it hard to read tho.

I have an idea... just buy COP. I think they lowered the price even.

OMG, I thought Sobane was a guy. /slap <me>

Thanks for the translation. But, the original post is filtered, and it won't let me change my filters at the moment. So incase this the original question wasn't answered.

I have found that certain items that are CoP only do drop for people who do not have CoP, but they may not be able to be used. Like the Tapestry, sure, you can get it, but you won't be able to get the quest anyway.

I think you need CoP because the music in some of the cutscenes (maybe all, I don't know; I don't always have sound on.) is from Chains of Promathia.

Also, Carpenters' Landing and Tavnazia are mentioned in the story line, and CoP is needed for those places to... exist.

confirmed, you need COP installed and registered to get this quest. I tried to activate it yesterday with no luck.. just the "sharpening knives" line. bought and installed COP, did no other quests, talked to her and got the quest.

52mnk/blm (for warp) funny thing is i got the key from beetles in like 3 kills, but forgot to sort inventory and it dropped from the treasure pool >< spent another 30 mins or so and it dropped off a napalm that exploded in my face lol. Found the chest in another 15-20 mins.

# May 18 2005 at 3:53 PM Rating: Decent
I am a rdm/blm, so I am there, stubbornly trying to sell stuff to afford a morion earring, when I see the cunning earring.. 80k in Bismarck.. Anyhow, so I go to sandy and start this quest. Very very easy. And there are some great maps of Ordelles cave's chest spawns in the RSE quest guide pagey thingy. With the help of a level 64 blm, I got this quest done very very quickly. I also had a teleport person though, so it was easier. If you need any help send a /tell to me on Bismarck. ^.^
bah
# May 16 2005 at 1:54 PM Rating: Decent
holy hell. all this talk of 50k on other servers makes me sad.. im on midgard and payed well over 100k (EACH) for my two cunning earrings (my blm couldnt live without em, and i dont have CoP so i cant quest.. /cry)
