Tabbin sends you to Karnor's Castle to find three items: a drum, a mandolin, and a performance mask.
The Mask is a small chest drop from trash mobs; sentries and elites hav eboth been known to drop it.
The Mandolin drops from an iksar entertainer in the mess hall, which is at {{Eq2 loc|-143, -55, 180. the entertainer has a five minute respawn.
The Drum can be found in Commander's Quarters inside of a chest. Make sure you have show illusions ON in your Persona window, and be prepared for a fight when you click the chest.
Click the chest at -189, -41, 53 . As soon as you click it, a group of three advisors will spawn and attack you.
Click on the painting at -189, -41, 89 , across the room from the chest.
Click the chest again once you have killed the advisors in order to get the update.
If you have chosen to hide illusions, this step will bug and you will not get the drum from the chest when you click on it the second time. If you get bugged you need to camp and relog to fix it.
Return to Tabbin Juniper. He'll give you the cover of a book with information about the Maiden of Masks. Unfortunately, he has torn out all the pages and used them as IOU's to pay his tabs at different bars across Norrath.
Speak to Goldie Sams at Omen's Call in Fens of Nathsar. It turns out Tabbin owes her 185 platinum and 2 copper. Thankfully she lets you pay off the debt by bringing her more fish meat.
Kill 100 fishmen for auto-updates. There are plenty of fishmen in the ruins south of Omen's Call.
Return to Goldie Sams. She gives you the page number 2 (a collection item) and a clue as to where you can find the next page.
Due to the rapidly spawning elemental effects cast by the bartender, a DPS and healer are strongly recommended.
Only one update per zone, so don't take another illusionist who needs the update.
Page 4 is found in Kaladim. Click the page in the tavern room before the Queen ( -144,45,-77 ) . This will spawn a level 83^^^ Golem. Kill it, and click the page again to get the update.
The mob is root/stun/mezzable so is possible to defeat solo.
For the next step, fetch a Cask of Blood Wine from Neriak. The cask is located in the D'Morte Inn in the very back of the New Foreign Quarters ( 173,30,200 ) .
Invisibility works against all the guards, but only if you don't have any pets up (including deity and cosmetic pets)
Head over to Kelethin in Greater Faydark. Speak to Jysolin Nerala in the tavern near the Granite Hills Acorn lift ( 203,108,342 ) . He sends you off to get a cask of Blood Wine, which you have already gathered. Give it to him for your update.
Note that Jysolin doesn't have any quest icon above his head.
This obviously means you must completed the Stein of Moggok HQ and have the reward in your inventory. If you've sold it, you can buy it back from the Shady Swashbuckler (a bit less than 1p) on Nektulos Forest docks.
The stein must be unmounted, or else Rumdum won't accept it.
After completing this step, you may buy the stein back from the Shady Swashbuckler, so you do not have to permanently lose it.
To obtain page 7, hail the bartender ( -450,2,-135 ) in the Laughing Trout in Rivervale and offer to rescue a damsel in distress and save the world. He settles for a couple of gold though, so collect your page and be on your way.
This step requires you to be able to speak and understand Stout.
Page 8 can be found in The Golden Scepter in Maj'Dul. Be prepared to fight as you hail Ahzeem the bartermaster( 64,147,-145 ) on the bottom floor. After the second dialog choice, 2 groups of 4 83^^ guards spawn and auto-aggro you. After killing the groups speak to the bartender again to receive the page.
Preferably, take a tank and a healer with you. You won't likely be able to solo them fast enough.
You can let the mobs wipe you and then revive inside the Golden Scepter. This way you can take on the mobs one group at a time.
Also note that the Bartender is an attackable NPC, so be careful with any blue AOE's. If he dies and you finish both encounters fast enough before his corpse despawns, you can still right-click and hail his corpse and get your update.
Page 9 is from the Bartender Lanice( -1897.82,-36.02,-612.31 ) in Windstalker Village in Antonica. She asks you to bring her a number of T8 carpenter craft, starting a subquest called Paying Off a Tab: Redecoration. You need to receive the following items to get quest updates (buying them off the broker will give you updates).
Warning! Do not have the items in inventory when you first talk to her to get quest. She will take the items and not update the quest journal, so you wont get page. Only obtain the items after receiving the quest.
Have 5-10pp available! These are all T8 house items that cost 10-30g/ea on the broker. You can save money by commissioning a Carpenter to craft them for you.
You'll get a new illusion: Human Youth, which is auto-scribed and will be found in your Knowledge book under Spells.
Head over to Qeynos Harbor and talk to Nathan Ironforge, a small boy that can be found near the Clock of Ak'Anon or in the upper floor of the inn (you can use the guards to help find him). Make sure you have your new illusion active. You'll receive a doll from Nathan. Take the doll back to Molly who will give you Page 10 in return.
Page 11 - Speak to the Bartender in Teren's Grasp Turluk Qukila( 2200,525,-980 ) . He will basically say he got rid of it. However, Tibby Joopin who's standing right next to the bartender calls for your attention. Speak to her to receive the last page.
Head to the collector down by the Sokokar post, to turn in the collected pages and receive the book. ( 1931,480,-771 )
Return to Tibby. She gives you a challenge to find six different rare masks. In return she will reward you with a powerful wand.
Getting the six Masks
Obtain the six masks in any order. Obtaining these masks will not grant any updates until you have turned them in to Tibby.
She has you collect 20 pristine burynai skins (uncommon update). In return, you will be given an burynai illusion which you get to keep.
After doing some walking around with the illusion on she gives you a performer's pass.
Take the pass to the opera in Neriak and talk to Typhonus J'Nix (Theater Master) ( -672,29,-14 ) with burynai illusion on. He gives you the mask to perform in.
Tibby wants "a primitive ritual mask worn by someone to perform a ceremony".
Head to the end of the track (4, 49, -2176) in the Mines of Nu'roga (the area, not the instance) in Fens of Nathsar and kill the Nurgan Captor (level 80 heroic ^^) and his 2 guards (level 80 heroic ^) surrounding Captured Drogan Witchdoctor.
The guards will drop a key, and the Captured Drogan Witchdoctor will attack you (84^^^ heroic that can charm). This mob hits like a truck; bringing help is a good idea.
The Witchdoctor will only drop one mask per kill and has a 15 minute respawn timer.
You must be in illusion form or he will fly away and despawn (don't worry, he will respawn 2 minutes later).
After some chat, Twocan will become attackable. You need to engage him for 2 minutes, but not kill him. Just keep him mezzed, and after the 2 minutes he should give you the mask.
Unlike other similar steps, this is not its own subquest.
The Book of Illusions: from the South Qeynos Mage Tower library.
Turn into Queen Antonia by clicking her statue ( 665,-20,96 ) outside the mage tower.
Go up and loot the book (take the red portal in the mage tower and find a big book) at ( 701,49,92 ) .
The Tome of Illusion Dispelling: from North Freeport mage library.
Turn into Lucan D'Lere with the statue down by the inn ( -154,-24,-58 ) ***Since Will of a Tyrant, the statue no longer exists. You can click on the spot where it should be to get the illusion.***
