Miscellaneous: Various issues encountered by an ogre newbie

[nilbog]

Swell. So, the Stein of Moggok is the only reward from the quest right now? As in, should I hold onto me hearts till the next patch? =X

The quest appeared to be 50/50 stein/GSM. I wouldn't recommend turning in any more items until next patch.

So our assistance in CB the other night turned out to not be very helpful, Brut? If you happen to see me on and need a hand breaking the spawn again let me know. Good luck getting your big stick

Well, trying to hit some higher lvls for the time being, so hopefully I can whip Crush and folks on my own next time around. =p

Too bad Neriak guards don't approve of this activity. Gonna hafta go squash some halflings to fix this problem.

Roger that. =X

Bump. The frogloks still fancy sporting their tunics. Saw just one at the swamps who didn't, and he was stationary next to the shm spell vendor on top of the hand at northeast parts of the swamp. =X In addition, troll slayer still gives the attack and defeat messages when hailed, instead of shouting them when he aggros someone or kills someone.

Btw, South Karana's tesch mas gnolls. these guys used to have some swank messages, like "My comrades will avenge my death" upon dying, and "I will teach you to interfere with me, Target" when taunted. Also, I got some vague recollection that they didn't give any faction hits (maybe only the faction down for Splitpaw gnolls), as in that you'd have to do Blackburrow to work QeynosGuards faction. Would need confirmation from elsewhere on that.

Just to be real clear here - this quest should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER result in the Stein of Moggok. SoM is the result of a long, involved, primarily-chanter quest.

The quest being discussed in this thread can result in either the Gatorsmash Maul *or* the CRUDE stein. 50/50 sounds about right.

This quest is referred to on Alla's as the Crude Stein quest. This quest has nothing to do with the Stein of Moggok.

Yea, the Maul is meant to be 100% reward. There's some rumor on alla that you might get A Crude Stein at the turn-in, but that's actually the reward you get for turning in the Orc Runner message earlier on in Lork's quests leading to this.

Can encs and such do this, btw? I mean, it's the warrior's guild in oggok, so I'd assume you'd have to have some amiably or higher to actually get the quest done?

[Malrubius]

Chanters can do most quests in the game that aren't tied to a particular class or religion. This is because of their illusions (they can BE an Ogre afterall) and faction adjusting spells (which are currently broken on P1999).

Crude Stein is actually a decent chanter item due to it's CHA, but I think it was obtained most often by killing Bouncer Hurd.


You may be right about the chance of the maul being rewarded for this quest (vs. CRUDE Stein). Here is what Allakhazam says about the quest reward...

The reward varies and is often bad (patchwork armor, for example). You'll rarely get a Crude Stein or Gatorsmash Maul.

...but they've been known to be wrong before.

[Brut]

Well, like I said, did it at least four times on classic live and got the maul every single time. Alot of the comments on the quest at alla also suggest that they too got it every time.

Pending update:

- innothule frogloks will now use the "tunicless" model.
- troll slayer combat text fixed.
- Fixed Ortallius quest text and hails. was completely wrong. http://www.tokyo2001.com/game/eq/quest/sro/sro02.html
- guard gregor loot fixed

[nilbog]

Nothing wrong with Chef Dooga human, high elf, and erudite parts, that I can tell.

Still highlighting things off your list as I fix them.

Awh, yeah. Chances are I missed out on the reward text back in the day as it was kind of unnoticable and I think it went to a different chat window. Maybe I was expecting it to appear right under the "You gain experience" and didn't pay attention. >< But yeh, it works nows.

Also, to add something... In Innothule swamp Lynuga seems to be another gigantic undercon. She was meleeing me for 120s or higher, and cons I believe green at 50 (being a lvl32 mob according to alla).

Although on Illia description they suggest that she hits hard, so maybe that's how it's supposed to be. =X One post at the quest page at least someone comments that she hits up to 77 (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...98856297691294). Also, while doing the Jewel Collection quest, she gives faction up with BrokenSkull and faction down with DaBashers. Should also give you a faction down with ShadowknightsofKnightkeep (SK guild of Grobb, should also go up if you kill her.. not sure if it did here, killed her twice months ago, could try it out later today).

EDIT: Got faction hit up with Shadowknights. She punched max 129.
