Return to Tabbin Juniper. He now gives you a book with information about the Maiden of Masks.
Unfortunately, he has torn out all the pages except for the first page, as he used the other pages as IOU's to pay his tabs at different bars across Norrath. You must find all 10 pages in order:
1. Page 2: Go to Omen's Call in the Fens of Nathsar and speak to Goldie Sams . It turns out Tabbin owes her 185 platinum and 2 copper. Thankfully she lets you pay off the debt by bringing her fish meat. Complete the subquest Paying Off a Tab: Fish Fry by killing 100 fishmen for auto-updates. There are plenty of fishmen in the ruins south of Omen's Call. She gives you page number 2 (a collection item) and a clue as to where you can find the next page.
2. Page 3: Head to The Estate of Unrest in Butcherblock Mountains. Page number 3 is a body drop off the The Sadistic Bartender.
  - Note: Only one page drops per instance. If more than one illusionist working on epic together, this step must be done separately !
3. Page 4: Found in Kaladim. Click the page in the tavern room before the Queen . This will spawn a level 83^^^ Golem. Kill it, and click the page again to get the update.
4. Page 5: Fetch a Cask of Blood Wine from Neriak, located in the D'Morte Inn in the very back of the New Foreign Quarters . Take it to Jysolin Nerala in the tavern near the Granite Hills Acorn lift in Kelethin to get the page.
5. Page 6: Visit Rumdum in the bar in East Freeport and trade the Stein of Moggok (must be unmounted) for the page. If you've sold it, lost it, or want it back after the trade you can buy it from the Shady Swashbuckler on Nektulos Forest docks. The Shady Swashbuckler replacement will only work if you have completed the HQ yourself; the item from the HQ merchants in Freeport and Qeynos is not acceptable to Rumdum.
6. Page 7: Hail the bartender in the Laughing Trout in Rivervale and pay the tab of 1 gold to receive the page. You must speak Stout for this step.
7. Page 8: Be prepared to fight as you hail Ahzeem the Bartermaster on the bottom floor of The Golden Scepter in Maj'Dul. After the second dialog choice, 2 groups of 4 83^^ guards spawn and auto-aggro you -- be careful as the bartermaster is attackable and may be killed. After killing the guards speak to the bartermaster again to receive the page.
8. Page 9: Lanice in Windstalker Village in Antonica holds this page. Speak to her to start the subquest Paying Off a Tab: Redecoration and then make or buy the following T8 carpenter-made furniture. Caution: Do not have the items in inventory when you first talk to her to get quest as she will take the items and not update the quest journal. Items from bank don't update the quest while items from mail do. Buying back items also updates the quest but the cushions are unsellable
  - 4 redwood stools
  - 6 ornate ferrite chairs
  - 10 leather stitched cushions
  - 3 round redwood gaming tables
  - 5 redwood tables

10. Page 11: Go to Kylong Plains and speak to the Bartender in Teren's Grasp, Turluk Qukila . You do not need faction to speak to him, simply right-click him and choose the 'Hail' option. 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. Make sure you examine the pages for the collection
Speak to any collector, such as the down by the Sokokar post , to turn in the collected pages and receive the book.
Return to Tibby in Teren's Grasp. She gives you a challenge to find six different rare masks. In return she will reward you with a powerful wand. You can get the masks simultaneously/in any order, and each mask step will update once turn it 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. Walk around with the illusion on by her to get a performer's pass, then take the pass to the opera in Neriak and talk to Typhonus J'Nix (Theater Master) with burynai illusion on. He gives you the mask for this step.
- Tibby wants "a primitive ritual mask worn by someone to perform a ceremony". Head to the end of the track (deeper into mountain) in the Mines of Nu'roga (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 (lvl 84^^^), who will then attack when hailed and drop a single mask as a body drop.
- For the mask covered in tropical feathers, head to Barren Sky and speak with Hoo'Loh on Strifewind Isle . If you've done the Hoo'Loh hat quest, you can get the Spiroc illusion for free, otherwise it will cost you 5p. Then head to Timorous Deep and, with the illusion on, speak to Twocan Jam (found on Mok Rent). You must be in illusion form or he will fly away and despawn for a short time. 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.
- For "a mask that is made out of skin", Kill the Queen Velazul Dizok 84^^^ or her placeholder in Chardok to obtain a key (chest drop) and then go to the room on the left when you leave her room. In the back, in a Tightly Locked Chest is the mask in it . You will not receive any update when using the chest, the mask will silently be placed in your inventory.

  - The Veil of the Seeing Eye and is resting on a table just to the left of Drusella Sathir in Charasis: Maiden's Chamber. Only one can be looted per instance, and Drusella must be killed first.
  - After you have all the three books, you need to return to Modani Qu'loni and give him the books to receive the mask.
Turn the masks in to Tibby to receive your heroic Mirage Star.
