Went to get my Shin Gauntlets and Greaves for Lambent yesterday. I wish I
had gone 13 levels ago (as soon as I got Sonorous Clouding). When I walked
into lower Guk, turned the first corner, see Shin Corpse on ground, click,
greaves. Joined a group in the bedroom and killed Undead Shin Knights, 2nd
knight, gloves. (forgive me if I have switched these, can't remember which
dropped what)
So, My advice to young bards, Get a map, enter Guk, go invis, trot down to
Lower Guk and wait. I could have looted 2 more gloves and greaves from
corpses at the exit. Plus, even if you can't complete the quests just yet,
the gloves(AC 7,+5poison Wt5) and greaves(AC 10,+5disease,Wt7.7) are nice
(plus they look cool).

Excellent advice Uldar, I got mine at 16 when I was fighting Heart
Spiders for silk and xp. When I got poisoned I just ran down to Lower while
playing Hymn. having never killed a froggie, and not being agnostic (they
hate people who can't decide apparently) the frogloks all ignored me. Got
both Shin items for free which was a decent armor upgrade in the case of the
greaves from my barbed legs. Also got several fine steel weapons no one
wanted.
