Strange Matters Indeed

Mad Sprite is no longer by the lake but at 13k 9k. South of TNN at the edge of the woods by the hill.

I too got stuck at the Mad Sprite. He just kept offereing to go for a swim and disappearing into the lake. I filed an /appeal and One of the CSR's got back to me in a just a few moments. you have to target the Sprite and /say "ocean is falling" to him. I tried this and lo and behold got the note for Fagan. Hope this helps!

I have a lvl 7 NightShade. I talked to the sprite and he attacked me. The he just mumbled after that. Someone else interrupted my conversation with him, so the sprite gave HIM the note. The guy then gave me the note, but Fagan won't take it, because it says the Sprite has to give it to me still. SO I went back 4 times, and the sprite still won't talk to me. He just wanders around and mumbles. Now what? I reported the problem to the mods, but have no idea what they are going to do.

The /loc for the dead tree where the "Mad Sprite" is located is: Lough Dergh 11964, 29197.
All I needed to do was right click on him and click on the highlighted words in his conversation. He babbled about the ocan falling through the viel, that there were more than one veil and that it was slipping. He cried that the veil got him and he disappeared. "fagan's message" letter was dropped into my pack.

I don't know why, but I just got this quest. It says it is only for nightshades - is this maybe a bug?

and got the letter back to Fagan, and got absolutely nothing from him. No xp, no items, no gold, no nothing. Submitted an /appeal about this.

To answer the group of posters wondering if or why their class doesn't get this quest it's because it is only for those who chose the Path of Essence at level 5 (i.e. Nightshades, Bards, Enchanters, and Champions). If you chose the Path of Focus (Eldritches, Heros, Wardens, and Rangers) you will get the <a href="http://camelot.allakhazam.com/quests.html?realm=Hibernia&cquest=83">Destructive Forces</a> quest. And if you follow the path of Harmony (Druids, Mentalists, and Blademasters) you will get the <a href="http://camelot.allakhazam.com/quests.html?cquest=81">Enchanting Willow</a> quest.

I can't get this from my Eldritch trainer. This quest doesn't apply to Eldritch?

I'm a lvl 8 hero can't get the quest. Tried getting it at lvl 7, didn't get it either.

Can Hero's get this quest?

im nightshade and got dex+ and quickness+ :))

maybe the sprite either attacks or doesnt because, well, it just might be insane(who knew!). Some people just meet this guy when a different personality surfaces IMO.

Overall, I think this is a good quest based on the item you recieve from Fagan.

I got this quest from my Champion trainer in Tir na Nog after I hit level 6. I waited till level 9 to complete the quest as I was unfamilar with the area and how far I would have to travel into the woods to find the Mad Sprite.

Everyone is correct, you need to head NW from Tir Na mbeo, which is south of Tir na Nog, , Mag Mell and Mardaugh, to find the pond which is surround by HUGE pine trees and sits down in a valley of sorts. It is, in my opinion, hard to miss because it sits down below the trees.

The Mad Sprite can be found at the bigger of the two trees around the pond. The one at Noon that is short and wide. The exact loc:11986, 29120, 4441. If he tries to swim, turn around and click on him again, that is when he gave me the note. Don't follow him, would be my advice as he will spawn again. I found him near the middle of the day.

I got a lvl 8 Magic Etched Bracer that gave me +2 to Strength and +1 to Constitution.

Do you have to head exactly NW? I'm asking because I went nw (from Tir na nog, Lough Derg gates), i did find dead trees but didnt see any pond, briefly i can't find that mad sprite :o(

I completed this quest yesterday, and the description is all wrong here, I found the spirte at the pond, circling a tree and talked to him.... didn't have to do anything like killing him, maybe he reacts differently depending on your class. As a nightshade, all I did was hail him, repeat a few of the [words] with a ? at the end, and he gave me the letter, no hassle, no killing. I can't remember the exact text but he ends with something about the veil is coming.

OK, talked to the mad sprite, he did the swim with me thing, I tried talking to him again, nada, he also told me to talk to someone, I talked to them, my quest log still says the same thing "Talk to Mad Sprite".. I have tried talking to the Sprite, nada, he wont talk to me. I have tried killing him, nada. I have talked to the sprite on the other side of the lake Sabha, nada.I have talked to Fagan in Mag Mell, he talks about the veil, but, nothing else. Anyone know what I shoudl do now? My girl is a Champion. Not sure how to proceed now.

if he tries to swim, click on him again until he gives you the information you want.

I got the quest from the Champion trainer in Tir na nOg after hitting lvl 7. I found the Mad Sprite after 12:00 o'clock noon at the big tree with no leaves at the pond (there is another tree with no leaves at the pond but that one is much thinner, go to the wide tree).

The Mad Sprite talked about the veil falling and gave me a message to Fagan saying he would understand. After returning the note to Fagan in Mag Mel he turned pale and told he hoped I would never needed to know what the message foretold. He also gave me an Etched Bracer.

Etched Bracer
Lvl 2 magic item
Usable by Champion
Strength: 2pts
Constitution: 1pts

I found th little pond and even found a dead tree (no leaves) and waited and waited and the Mad Sprite never popped up. I though it was there from midnight until noon. When does it appear?

he wanders around the tree with no branches and the north end of the pond. That is the easist way to find him once you are at the pond.

Actually the mad sprite will react differently.
I got a nightshade to 11 twice (first time I reset)
First time I did the quest, I just talked to him. He didn't go swiming or anything, just gave me the letter.
Second time I did the quest he attacked and killed me. He was blue so of course since I'm a nightshade and didn't have surprise I couldn't beat him. I should have ran, heh.

What does Quickness DO? Does anyone know?

Thanks.

It appears that this quest is given to all in the path of essence. That is - Nightshade, Bard, Champion, and Enchanter.

Some think the epics quests are alligned along the paths - as this quest appears to be - So I wonder if it is the start of the epic quest?

I just finished the mad sprite quest and received a silvery coin and a shadowy gem. Any ideas on what these are for?

This is what I got:
Etched Bracer
Level 2 Magic Item
2 Strength
1 Constitution
(Item was green to be at 7th)

Where is this "pond" and I dont see "the pond" located on the map, is Tir Na mBeo the same is Tir Na Nog?

its all RANDOM like for example i got a 4 dex 4 quickness ring
