Froglok Raiders And Why They're Awful

[Xulia]

I've killed hundred of these. Been running around The Swamp of No Hope dodging monsters with horrible pathing issues roaming to newbie areas (Don't think Soblohg should be within viewing distance of Cabilis) only to be chased down and murdered by Weeping Mantrap after page after page comes up as "You can't loot this LORE item! You already have one!"

Why? Would it really matter? It' a page of some ancient tome of evil. Can't I just make up a page? And how would I even know if they're incorrect? I can't read the pages. And the bastard who sent me to get this is like some level 50 necromancer. Why am I having to run alongside Grimewurm and venemous lamprey when this guy could just walk to the Swamp and murder everything within?

So I've killed hundreds of froglok raiders. And the last LORE page I need hasn't dropped. It's been weeks and this has gotten out of hand. I'm not expecting any fix or sympathy, I just needed to bitch about this and maybe find someone who knows this pain.

I don't know if it's a quest bug, or if I just have statistically horrible luck. Or if it karmic retribution for rolling an Iksar SK. Either way, I'm not going back to the Swamp until lvl 30. I can't continue because this quest will just drive me away from the game entirely. The only reason I'm doing it at all is to get to Lord of Pain and eventually Greenmist.

try killing some froglok raiders for the page drop

[Xulia]

Tried it. Didn't work. Dropped a ticket stub.

Immediately ate ticket stub. Do not regret this at all.

Froglok Raider says," Why do you want to kill me? Have you not ruined your lands?"

No seriously man... if you're ever online when I am we can try to figure this out cuz I like mysteries. PM me or lmk what in game name is

[Xulia]

Technically a bunch of sarnak, dragons, giants, goblins, frogloks, and sentient cacti ruined my lands.

In-game name is Xulia. And the raiders don't show that chainmail graphic...

[Lune]

I know this pain. Done it twice on three different iksar SK's never after level 18 or so.

Pain is the whole point tbh, iksars are sadistic creatures. How could you rightly be called a Lord of Pain or Crusader of Greenmist if you've never had to deal with these kinds of shenanigans? That prick probably ripped up the pages and gave them to the froglok. It's an iksar character-building exercise, to build you into the worst kind of character possible.

[myriverse]

The fewer frogs in the world the better my stomach feels.

[Xulia]

Thing is I already got Greenmist once in 2003. And then again in 2012 in EQ2. So this is now the THIRD TIME.

And this pain is enough - can we skip the pain that is camping Dalnir for a month straight?

:cool:

[Xulia]

Killed 6 this morning in the past hour. No dice. THIS IS A FUN FANTASY GAME.

[Xulia]

And just got murdered by an icebone skeleton. That was never in that part of the zone. Neither were half the things in the area around the column. I know because it was once safe to sit and play gems while your mana regenned. But now I have to watch for the level discrepancy - they might be a lvl 5 skeleton? Might be a lvl 35 named?

Welcome to Kunark. Bet you wish you'd rolled a Troll.

[DeathWalking]

just give up on the frogs and roll something that isnt a lizard a billions miles from civilization

[Xulia]

Rolled an Ogre SK. Already love slam. I'll come back to Iksar later.

[jarshale]

Will swamp of no hope pathing ever get fixed?

[Xulia]

I'm pretty sure if pathing isn't fixed, there's something bugged with page drops. I've killed over a hundred froglok raiders and I still haven't gotten the last LORE page needed.

ogres are the best at every class they can be. the only downside is that you look like a feminist

[Xulia]

I'm alright with that. The STR and STA make up for it.

[Xulia]

Big shout out to Dausk and Plateless on Blue for helping me. Between us we killed over a dozen. This brings my final kill count to-date to 112. I've killed 112 of the same monster and it hasn't dropped.

How many more times should I kill it before I consider investigating if there's a bug? Or can anyone confirmed they've done this khukri quest?

you could always submit a petition but the likely answer will be "it works, keep trying" whether or not it actually works

[Xulia]

I've since figured.

They just...Don't care about lizard people...

[Xulia]

No, but it probably is just phenomenal bad luck. I've seen someone else with a Lord of Pain's Khukri. So either they did this quest, or they bought a Hero's Khukri and quested from there, or some other method. Either way - killing Froglok Raiders, even one hundred of them, has been fruitless.

With the help of my Iksar brethren I have managed to complete this quest.

Thank you to everyone who helped.

I love fairy tales where lots of frogs die.
