Gargh says 'Meez impressed. Da spirits, they tremble in terror before you. Meez can't teach you no more. Go and dominate through fear. Fight like da alligator and tear your enemies apart.'

Ok, some comments.

This is the same old beastlord quest that existed when the trolls were in Grobb; the rewards are the same, the quest items have been adjusted to Nektulos Forest.

Note that the claw is primary and secondary, so it will make a useful secondary weapon when the beastlord gets dual wield. Also, bracers aren't lore, so you can have two.

All of the drops are tradeable, apart from the matted halfling hides; the tradeable items are all commonly found on merchants aroudn newbie areas. Ruined wolf hides come from black wolves; snake fangs and snake scales come from moss and garter snakes; a large snake skin from tree snakes; and spider legs from the black and red spiders. The matted halfling hides come from the leatherfoot scouts, two of which cross the path in front of the newbie log every 16 minutes or so. It took me 2 hours with an entirely untwinked beastlord and no assistance to get to level 4 and a full set, as well as plenty of cloth armor from decaying skeletons to fill the gaps. The halflings were tough at 3 and 4.

This quest has no tradeskill component; it is also not strictly comparable to other newbie quests (apart from other beastlord ones), as there is no container or patterns/molds, and the quest briefing is given strictly sequentially.

BUMP!

Verdandi - time for a main site update, I think.
