The final test requires a gold coin, silver coin, and a copper coin (provincial currency), but all the provincial towns now appear to use AM currency, right down to Hillshire.
Is there still any way to obtain these coins, or are substitutes possible?

Have you tried one of the money changers that lets you exchange different types of currencies?

The one on the bookkeepers street, off of SOSG lets you change money into 'default' I think it is.

i was wondering about this too...i thought it meant the equivalent so i was going to take a ducat,forin,livre oh well
do you reckon its worth doing at a pretty low level....around 200 because i can't see myself spending much exp on ot.pe for awhile

It puts your perception to level 30 if it's below 30. If it's above you get nothing but a message saying you've already learned everything you could here  Meh. |

Just did the quest. It does not seem to just give you 30 levels of ot.pe, more likely up to level 30 if you do not have it already. I had over that already and it gave the message
It is supposed to be meant for uber newbie characters I guess, but I don't know who would run around without that much perception already in this area.

Nopers, sorry. Once it did give that nice perception boost to all and sundry, but no longer. Only newbie levels of perception will get the boost.
I agree, this makes no sense from a gameplay perspective. It's going to be incredibly rare for someone to be able to make it all the way to that temple, save for the occasional misfly or misportal to the village (hey, that's how I found it years ago - yay misflies).
It's also a bit flawed in the in-game logical perspective. These _are_ the Listening Monks. I've almost got to assume that whoever re-vamped it hadn't read that book in a while. (I'm not going to be mean enough to say they hadn't read it at all.) These guys were listening to all the crap that the entire disc put out ever since Creation, trying to find that first word. Just sifting past everything Dibbler's ever said must be a challenge.
I think this one needs re-vamping again, partly to bring it in line with the difficulty of the area that it's in. Each section of the test should have perception checks - decently high ones. Maybe switch the coins to a ducat, a royal and a thanra, as provincial is newbie-cheap. I'd also suggest perception reward at the end based on player bonus as opposed to level, if possible.
p.s. I want those apples back, too. Gammer Smiths, please?

the quest has been changed - it no longer requires gold/silver/copper coins, but a shilling, a sixpence and a thruppence.

Hiya. I don't know if it's worth posting about this, but I have done this quest today with zero lvls of perception and I got 2 lvls only. Tried a week back with another low char who had 25 lvls of ad.pe and only got 2 lvls.....so this quest is really only worth doing if u want the xp...which is a fair amount.

Meh.
