Journeyman's Boots Quest Guide (EverQuest Legends)

The classic run-speed boots. One clicky that gives a movement buff any class can use, with no reagents and no downtime, so they never leave your feet. The quest is a three-item collection turned in to Hasten Bootstrutter in the Rathe Mountains. The Ancient Cyclops kill for the Ring of the Ancients is the real gate; the rest is legwork and coin. Bank each piece as you get it.

Quest giverHasten Bootstrutter, a wandering gnome on the east side of the Rathe Mountains

ZonesRathe Mountains, Southern Desert of Ro / Ocean of Tears, plus wherever a shadowed man spawns

Part 1: Ring of the Ancients

Hunt an Ancient Cyclops, a rare spawn found in the Southern Desert of Ro and the Ocean of Tears.
Kill it and loot the Ring of the Ancients (a rare drop, so expect to camp it).
This is the hardest and slowest step, so come back at higher level if the cyclops is giving you trouble.

Part 2: Shadowed Rapier

Find a shadowed man, a rare wandering spawn that appears in several zones.
Kill it and loot the Shadowed Rapier.
Do not log out for long once you have it; shadowed man loot has been reported to vanish from the corpse or bags if left too long, so turn it in promptly.

Part 3: Gather the coin

Collect 3,250 gold pieces (gold, not platinum).
Keep it as loose coin on you for the turn-in.

Part 4: Turn in to Hasten Bootstrutter

Find Hasten Bootstrutter wandering the east side of the Rathe Mountains (he moves, so track him down).
Hand him the Ring of the Ancients, the Shadowed Rapier, and the 3,250 gold together.
He returns the Journeyman's Boots.

Journeyman's Boots quest FAQ

What do Journeyman's Boots do in EverQuest Legends?

They give a clicky run-speed buff (Journeyman Boots, self only) with no reagents and no downtime, so any class keeps a permanent movement boost on their feet. They are AC 1, Magic, No Drop, and usable by every class and race.

How do you get Journeyman's Boots (JBoots)?

Collect three things and turn them in together to Hasten Bootstrutter, a wandering gnome in the Rathe Mountains: the Ring of the Ancients (a rare drop from an Ancient Cyclops in the Southern Desert of Ro or Ocean of Tears), the Shadowed Rapier (from a rare shadowed man), and 3,250 gold pieces.

What level do you need for the Journeyman's Boots quest?

You can start around level 30, but the Ancient Cyclops kill for the Ring of the Ancients is much easier at 42 or higher, so many players come back for that step later.
