The 10 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Bo Pye

   Dialogue[-51,45] · Bo Pye

   Every week, Bo Pye bets a friend that he can reach 3,827 kilopods of friends. He is missing three friends who must weigh 215 kilopods in total. Go and ask the candidates their weight, then come back and tell him which ones to pick.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask about the bet”
   2. “Agree to help him.”

   

2. 2Buy the three gifts

   Items[-48,44] · Ivan Hartvigg

   Some candidates don't give their weight for free. Buy from Ivan Hartvigg 1 Black Stone of Vulkania (99 kamas), 1 Billabone Cemetery Relic (99 kamas) and 1 Sauroshell Figurine (199 kamas).

3. 3Ask Dina Tapio her weight

   Dialogue[-46,44] · Dina Tapio

   Dina Tapio gives you her weight, Madreggon included. As with all the others, it is recorded by itself on the Notepaper in your quest inventory.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask what her weight is”
   2. “Write 659 on the notepaper, and thank her before leaving”

   The weights change every week: the number in the dialogue won't necessarily be 659. Finish the quest before the Tuesday 7h reset.

   

4. 4Question Ju-ju and Vanda-Lou

   Dialogue[-44,44]

   On Dina Tapio's map, take the L.A.T.P. to get to the Bar Racuda. Ju-ju, proud of her weight, gives it to you without hesitation. So does Vanda-Lou, thanks to exercise and a healthy diet.

5. 5Give the Sauroshell Figurine to Nevark

6. 6Apologize to L.O. DuhBrane

   Asking a Goblin his weight is disrespectful: grovel before him. He accepts your apology and proudly gives you his weight.

   2. “Grovel like a doormat before Cortek”

   

7. 7Give the Relic to Tom Stone

   Movement

   Open the Notepaper in your quest inventory and look, among the seven recorded weights, for the three that add up to exactly 215 kilopods.

    Dialogue[-51,45] · Bo Pye

    Give him the three names whose total weight is 215 kilopods. If they are right, he confirms and thanks you. The quest ends; if he hasn't already given you one, he gives you a Bronze Cannonball.
