Lord Nexus on Making Pure White Cloth

Okay, I've seen a lot of people still on the boards that do not know how to do this, so I thought I'd go ahead and throw this together to hopefully end the lack of knowledge once and for all. =P

Obtaining the Materials
Initial Items Required
1x Bag of Sending

Step 1:
Attend the tavern in Minoc and speak to "Ben the Apprentice Necromancer":

To confirm his location:

Co-Ordinates: 107o 39'N, 80o 22'E

Step 2:
Upon speaking with him, you will receive a quest:

Accept the quest and you'll receive a "Spirit Bottle", as shown:

The quest requires you to take this bottle to the "Ghost of Frederic Smithson".

Step 3:
Go to the ghost who is located between the first and second levels of Covetous dungeon:

To confirm the location:

Co-Ordinates: 64o 41'N, 77o 3'E

Step 4:
Talk to the ghost. Doing so will prompt the following dialogue:

The ghost will then offer you the secondary part of the quest:

Accepting the quest will drop this item into your backpack:

Step 5:
Use a Bag of Sending on the Dread Spider Silk:

This will send that quest item directly to your bank.

Step 6:
After sending it, resign from the quest. To do so, open your Paperdoll and click the "Quests" button:

This will bring up a list of all the quests you're currently on. Click the arrow next to the "Save his Dad" quest:

Then press the "Resign" button:

The "Dread Spider Silk" will remain in your bank box after resigning. You will require 1 Dread Spider Silk for every bolt of the pure white cloth you wish to make, and one you send will be unusable. For example, you need at least 2 silk to create 1 bolt of the cloth, 3 silk to create 2 bolts, 4 silk to create 3 bolts, etc.

To create more of it, simply follow steps 4 through 6 repeatedly until you are happy with the amount of silk you have. Contrary to what I see many people doing, you do not have to continually start the initial quest that Ben the Apprentice Necromancer offers you; you can simply talk to the ghost again after resigning for more wool.

Creating the Cloth
Initial Items Required
Dread Spider Silk (shown above)
Access to a Spinning Wheel
Access to a Loom
Yarn (4 yarn per every 1 bolt you wish to make)

Step 1:
Access your bank box. You should see the silk you sent earlier:

Drag all except 1 silk from your bankbox to your main backpack:

Note: It is critical that you follow this step carefully. Dragging the entire stack will mean you will be unable to 'use' the silk; you must split it and leave 1 behind which can either be discarded, kept as a base for more silk that you'll send in future or used to finish the quest.

Step 2:
Now that the silk is in your backpack, head to a spinning wheel. There are many all over Britannia in tailor shops. In my example I used the Luna Tailor shop.
Double click the pile of silk and spin it on the spinning wheel:

After a few seconds, you will receive 3 balls of pure white yarn in your backpack per 1 ball of silk you spin as shown below. Repeat as necessary until you've span all of your silks.

Step 3:
Take the regular balls of yarn you should have started with (can be purchased from tailor NPCs, or you can sheer sheep to obtain sheep wool, which can be spun on the spinning wheel to obtain normal yarn similar to the method of spinning the silks) and your pure white yarn to a loom. Again, there's often looms in tailor shops; there's one in the Luna tailor shop also, which is where I'm staying for the example.

Double click the regular yarn, then 'use' it with the loom:

Do this 4 times until you receive the "This bolt is almost finished..." message from the loom like so:

To finish the bolt of cloth, double click one of the pure white yarn balls you created and use it with the loom:

This will create a pure white cloth bolt in your backpack:

This can then be cut with scissors like any bolt to create pure white cloth for use in tailoring, or whatever:

Hopefully that ends the mystery regarding how to do it that I see people ask constantly around the boards.
Hope you've found this useful.

*In case anyone wonders if this is legal ... Binky announced that YES it is ...

Greetings all!

Enjoy the white cloth you are getting on the quests.
This is not an exploit and getting the cloth is not a bannable or actionable offense.

Happy Holidays!

And all this time I have been payins mad cash on pure white robes!! How stupid of me.

Thradia · 24th December 2005, 07:21 PM

Just a note, this is really cool stuff. But it's more of the color of Luna White, not Ice White, just so you know.

So there are no worries to those of you who are worried about their Ice White cloth going down in value.

They were going for 16mil on Baja like 2 days before the word hit the streets. A guy in our guild bought 2 of em. I would collect as much as you guys can, I have a feeling theyre gonna change the way the quest is done and cant be made anymore.

Mapper · 26th December 2005, 09:59 AM

Wow, Nice guide, Thanks

Snowy · 26th December 2005, 02:12 PM

Thanks for posting the great guide. I noticed a vendor with ONE bolt of the cloth last night, for 50 K, on LS. That will drop as people find out it is not quite as rare. I made up 7500 yards of it Saturday. I am not planning to sell it, so it will do me forever.

Santi · 26th December 2005, 02:55 PM

Well, each dread spider silk is worth 1k...considering it costs about 1K for a powder of translocation. 50k...what a mark up.

**Ally** · 27th December 2005, 03:28 PM

I made myself a hundred bolts I think, maybe more. No idea what I'm gonna use it on, since they don't really look that appealing to me.

Santi · 27th December 2005, 07:31 PM

I have collected about 50 bolts so far. I don't know how many more I need...or if I need any at all. I don't sell things and I don't change what my characters wear that often (since I learned how to live a bit longer). Snowy, you said you collected 7500 yards on Saturday...is that the same as 7500 bolts?

Bo · 27th December 2005, 09:03 PM

each bolt gives you 50 cloths. So if you have 50 bolts it will be 2500 cloth pieces. I decided to stop once I hit about 7000 cloths just because the bag of sending prices to refill them and stuff just didnt seem to weigh up against what the value of the cloth is to me. Also I stopped doing the 4 normal yarns and 1 white yarn because once again, the cost was more than I cared to. I am not cheap by any means, but I just cant find myself getting into worthless items like that. Now if it gave me like 2hp regen or something like that, Oh hell yah I would be spendin the gold on it. hehe..
