Per a lot of 2000 posts, there are three places to go looking for the Froglok Heads: Swamp of No Hope, Innothule (maybe), and Upper Guk.

All of the material is about this static 2 spawn near the falls to Trak's Teeth in SoNH, as that is where I was when I experienced the problem.

I was able to spawn outlanders from both spawn points, and I believe they were different mobs, however one did not drop a head at all, and another dropped only a head. According to posts below, one should always drop a head and a mushroom or some sort, and another a head and an Ornate Rune Box.

I didn't ID it because I couldn't, but I am assuming it is the one that identifies as "Head of Barsh" because its more common, but a lot of posts say Barsh drops with a mushroom, and the other (Findle) drops with an Orante Rune Box.

All quotes from here (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=233)

December 30th 2000: killedoutlander 37 times...everytime a same head + a mushroom. VERY lame >:(

December 1st 2000: keep killing the double spawn by the waterfall.. the tin box and the other head are much rarer drops off the outlander but thats where I got my head.

November 18th 2000: You want heads? Swamp of no hope near waterfall p829 n2889. Placeholders are 'a froglok gaz knight' 'a lesser ice bone' 'a lesser charbone' 'a froglok tuk shaman' 'a froglok gaz shaman'.. It's a 6 minute double spawn. They stand side by side.. Outlander will pop here in either spot.. Outlander will either drop Flindel head and a mushroom or rarer Barsh head 2 and an ornate box.

There are more, but from all the posts it seems as though you should be able to get both heads from this location, 100% drop. I killed 3-4 outlanders from both spawns in about 45 mins, one dropped a head with nothing (once), and the other dropped nothing at all (twice). I will ID the head when I can to figure out which it is, but could you check these two spawns to make sure there are two variety of frogs spawning that have different heads, and include these extra drops.

The two different outlander mob links are here (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=15863) and here (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=4567).

One more useful quote from the second outlander bestiary entry:

December 2000: It is a Double spawn side by side. One can be pulled with a Range attack with out Agroing the other for single pulls. Position One is the west side one & it pops the outlander froglok 1 in 3 times with a Mushroom & Barsh Head(never saw it drop the Flindle head)and it has Numerous PH`s. Position Two is the East side one and I`ve only seen it pop Gaz knight 99% or a Shin Shaman or a Ton Warrior 1% of the time. if only One spawn is there or if it doesn`t respawn in 8 minutes , then it has pop`d somewhere near by and is stuck. in which case you have to hunt it.

Lastly, they are supposed to be in Innothule and Guk per many of the other messages on those links, but not sure if they are. I'll probably head there if in fact the head isnt dropping off the swamp mob to see.

Spent quite a few hours in Guk tonight at the spots the same comments on that page say the Outlander spawns, didn't see him. Not sure if its crazy rare or not in game there either.

i found a froglok head and an ornate tin box off an outlander's corpse near the lower guk zone line. never saw them in upper guk before, but i've never really explored it thoroughly. hope that helps

That Little Spot where you go to get to Lower Guk, those heart Spiders there, well i was at the Top of them when he tryed to Blindside me

I just slaughtered everything around the two zone lines but didnt see one.

When is the next scheduled update?

I'm camping this now, got one head from the static outlanders in loio, when I went to hand in the note to get the first head it gave me the "lore item message". So unless both outlanders in loio drop all 3 heads this quest is broken.

There are no outlanders in LOIO. Also, there are only two heads that drop, you are given one by an NPC.


The broken part of this quest has been addressed, anyways. Everything you mentioned besides all of the incorrect information was posted in the initial post. When the next patch notes drop you'll know its fixed, but probably going to be waiting a while.

Yeah I meant swamp that was typo,

my question was is there any way to complete the quest as it stands now?
Like will mogolok always give me the same head as drops from the frogs.
I just want to know wether I should leave the swamp till I see the next patch notes.

There is no way to, the second head isn't dropping unfortunately. Just gotta wait with me =P

Okay, thanks Bizzum, I'll wait.

I wasn't having the same problem as the OP, I got two heads off the frogs, and when I went to get the one from Mogolok it tried to give me a dupe.

If all problems related are going to be fixed at the same time, then it's all good.

I even have all the parts for the legionaires, (currently last?) quest as well.

PST when patch goes up.

Do you think you could outline what you did in more details so if there is a problem that it can be fixed?

There are three heads.

The first one you get is "A Froglok Head", which identifies as "Head of Narsh", and you get it initially by giving the note from Warlord Hikyg to Footman Moglok.

The two other heads are supposed to both be obtained in Swamp of no Hope from the two spawn I mentioned in the earlier post.

The second head can be found in the Swamp of No Hope, off of "a froglok outlander" at location 830, -2880. This is near the waterfall leading to the Trakanon's Teeth zoneline. There are two static spawns there. The one to the West is always a "froglok outlander" and drops "A Froglok Head" (identifies as "Head of Barsh") and a Innothule Mushroom.

That is the Allah quest text, but can be verified true from the circa 2000 comments in the original post.

The spawn next to the froglok outlander that drops the Head of Barsh can rarely spawn another "froglok outlander". It's somewhat of a rare spawn and the common spawn is a "froglok gaz knight". You'll know that you have the right PH as killing the PH gives you negative "Frogloks of Guk" faction (as opposed to the normal "Frogloks of Kunark"). This outlander will drop "A Froglok Head" (identifies as "Head of Flindle") and a "Ornate Tin Box" (use unknown).

Thats the third head. I haven't ID'd the one I got from the spawn, but it might be best to see if its Flindle or Barsh, because if its Narsh then we might have a further problem.

From what it sounds like he was trying to give you the same head as the one that is dropping in game now.

Sorry to bother you again Kanras, but do you think you can check to make sure the head that Mogolok gives you before he asks you to find the other two is ID'd differently from the two that drop?

Thanks!

Bamp because I'm scared there's more wrong with it! Wonder how the quests hereafter are.

Having the same issue, so I destroyed all my heads, started the quest over, and took the head Moglok gave me.

First head I looted gave me lore message, and the only head I had was Moglok's gift.

Yea pretty much confirmed then that the NPC head needs to be fixed as well, unless the dropped one was wrong.

I have all the heads and their IDs listed above, if you could check this out.

Thanks in advance.

The quest is giving the correct head. Both outlanders (on Blue) are capable of dropping all three heads, which is causing all of the confusion. Wait for the patch if you want to be sure you're getting the right dropped head.

Nice to see the 3 iksar warriors on the server getting a little love, Kanras!

Unfortunately I took a look at it and like everything quest based that Verant ever did, the stats on the item just aren't worth getting except for the last one, the Pride of the Legion, which seems to date to 2004 and is probably a bit better than the epic.

10MR on a back slot never hurt. Can you link where you found that from 2004? Im pretty sure that one is the equivalent of greenmist? Maybe its the one before it, but I couldn't find an exact date for it nonetheless.

Seems pretty conclusive to me, which means we'll never see the final pike. I think the pike is a decently better than the epic anyway (stun up to L61?? 15AC?) although Iksar warriors could certainly use a bone.

A much more legitimate case IMO is for the Iksar planes armor. It's obvious that Verant intended for Iksar to have planes armor like everyone else, it was just low priority until people actually levelled up Iksar characters to 50+, which happened around the same time as Velious, and when they finally fixed their mistake the new armor was worthless compared to the Velious quest stuff. So I think there is an extremely good case to be made that the correct timeline for the iksar armor is 11 months from the release of Kunark, not 4 months after Velious.

Not everything makse it in the patch notes or else theyd be long as hell. Should be fixed, I believe something is changed for the patch whenever a "Fixed, pending update" is posted whether or not its in the notes.

Ill try it out on the weekend, assuming yes.
