Froglok shaman shield quest with tailoring component

[Itzena]

I might actually know the answer to this one.

There's a Yun Apprentice someone-or-other trapped in the cabin of the shipwreck in Erud's Xing guarded/imprisoned by 4 'zombie guardians'

The crate of supplies is used for an Erudin quest, from what I've seen. I tried to complete it, but the questgiver is one of the pretty much diametrically opposed factions to mine. Although I suppose that doesn't rule it out for use in another quest, as well.

EDIT: Speeeling mistaeks.

I've passed along those writeups on steps 1 & 2 to Niami

[Froni Thunderpaws]

Glad to be of help - Cylestria may have some things to add since it sounded like there might be other spawn points for the twigs and got different times than I did on the respawn. Now we just need to figure out the third part.

[Verdandi]

Additions are fine, although it'd help me a lot if you make it obvious that they're additions since I don't always read every word of every post in every forum

[Niami DenMother]

The initial writeup is now on the site at http://www.eqtraders.com/quests/gukta_SHMshield.htm

Please DO keep the updates coming.

As an FYI, I talked to a member of the Dev team about this one today, and found that the skinning knives will be returned after the next patch.

Correction to walk through

First great job cleaning up my write up - looks really good. Only one change needs to be made: Yun Trainer Kintok is in Innothule Swamp not in Gukta. I'll post his coordinates (I think he is a male frog) later today as an edit to this note.

[Niami DenMother]

Yun Trainer Kintok is in Innothule Swamp not in Gukta.

Um, I'm being a blind and confuzzled hobbit. The only mention I find in the writeup for his location is:

Hail, Yun Trainer Kintok (located in Innothule swamp, exact loc not available)

Or are you referring to the fact that on the quests page, I list it as a Gukta quest?

~Mum

[Cylestria]

Does anyone know how to get past the part where you find the Assistant Maldok? When you hail him he acts like you're saying you do not know Kintok. I'm thinking that you may have to show him the shield as proof that you know him, but that's worrisome since you normally don't have to hand items to the frogloks during these quests until the final turn in. I wouldn't want him to take an apprentice shield.

Edit: As to adding more information to the quest write-up, all I'd say is that the timer on the ground spawn is just about 26 minutes exactly for both kinds of twigs. I don't want to say locs, for a couple reasons: I only know of two locations (1 for each twig type) and more need to be found, and also because those two spots could potentially become annoying camped if I listed them. Nothing worse than having some jerk who isn't even able to do the quest timing the twigs and price gouging young shaman frogloks. I did indeed have that happen with one of the Thicket twigs already.

I am sleepy hobbit meself (and a frog of little brain yet).

In part 2 there is this statement that I was referring to:

Head back to Gukta and give Yun Trainer Kintok your Guktan Initiate's Shield (from step 1), chunk of prismatic metal, chunk of refined metal and the shield frame mold.

Yun Trainer Kintok is at location -1325 +925

Many Halfling Hugs, Dear Niami


And so far no one has figured out how to get the Yun Assistant to talk. Some think you need your soulstone to do this part, but we can try that until the quest for them is fixed.

Hehe pooh... knives returned next time huh... after I've already let my froggy use up two. Sigh....

Just an added note for those speculating about the "Fist" guy in armor on that hand, he is for the warriors but not for pally's. We tried hailing two different wandering Shin guards in the swamp with my friend on his pally, and got responses from both but only figured out we had to say "what trouble" to the one who mentioned trouble and could get no further with either. So if they are for the pally quest it's a lot more obscure than the others.

Well ran there with my lvl 39 shaman
Yun Assistant Maldok whispers, 'Oh thank heavens! Did Kintok send you?! I thought he might. I had gone to get some supplies for him, but our ship got attacked, and I was taken prisoner by these zombie guards here. I've been here for more days then I can count. Would you [help me escape]?

I will help you escape

Yun Assistant Maldok whispers, 'You are a true hero. I fear that if we try and escape, these zombies may attack us, and perhaps even kill us . . I sure hope you are [prepared for an attack]. If we make it out of here alive, return me to the docks, so that I may be able gather my thoughts, and composure. I believe I will need to return to Erudin and replace the supplies I lost, but lets not think of that now, lets get out of here first! If we make it to the docks, speak with me again, and I will figure out what it is that I must do.

I am prepared for an attack

Yun Assistant Maldok whispers, 'I applaud your effort, you truly are a servant of Marr, may he bless you.'

And the 4 guardians become targetable and attacks . all 4 are light blue to my shaman and attacks what are closest to them (they where not undead tho)

When they are all dead walk back to the docks Maldok will follow, there will not be any more attacks on the way there.

When you get there hail him again

Yun Assistant Maldok says, 'Oh, thank you very much, I thought I would never get away from those cretins! It seems I've been there for ages. Now, what to do about these supplies. . .' he says as he checks his pockets. 'They've taken everything from me, fortunately I didn't carry the money on me, so they didn't get much. Once I finally make it to Erudin, I should be able to make a withdrawal, and purchase the supplies, and return to Kintok with them. I realize that I am indebted to you already, but could I possibly ask for one last favor? Please return to Kintok with this note from me. It should explain everything, and you will be my proof. Let him know that I shouldn't be more then a day behind you, with the supplies.

Go back to the swamp and hand the letter + shield to the trainer .

[Cylestria]

Ohh! I was mulling over this problem at work today trying to think of the carefully programmed quests I've run into so far. All the flagging and "recognition" the NPC's have been given and I thought, oh.. I bet it's a level limit! Then I said, ****... because my froggie is only level 8. But Hoorah!!

Good to know, thanks a lot. I didn't know any high/mid-level froggie shamans I could have asked to test that idea.

[Vashanti]

Any more information on the drops in Unrest and Permafrost?

I've not been having any luck in either place.

EDIT: NM, just found the chunk of metal on a dark bone in Unrest.

Off to Permafrost!

[Froni Thunderpaws]

I was solely camping the goblin sage who was being rude and never dropped, as soon as I started killing the goblin priests and wizards aroudn there I got the ore. I think Kintok's clue means that the goblins in the company of the sage are the ones to drop it. It is not a common drop - killed maybe 25 ice gobbies to get it.

With Unrest I have only seen it of the dark bones, it may drop from other similar level mobs in the estate.
