an escaped froglok  

hunting for shackle quest today, maybe 3 hours totaled for all six shackles. and the last one drop a hammer of the falling stars.

I just got 4 of these in 15 minutes. It was before 9pm game time. Never saw the Froglok Escort. Just go south to the first island on the path only crossing water once and start killing everything in sight. They spawn in that area and to the west just across the water. If you see a mob running fast it is because they are chasing one of the escapees. Just chase after it and kill it before it kills the frog. Piece of cake.

I got 3 to pop all 3 was running south along the west side of the path from cab. I was tracking on my ranger the first one popped on track and I killed west of the path along side it on the island after the main one cab is on, forgot to get the loc. I logged on necro and looted it, when I logged back to ranger a second one was up running the same path I assume as he was due south of my location but killed before I could see em. I went hunting for the expected mosquito that killed em and I proceeded to kill everything by the buildings near cab.

As I was tracking the next mosquito on track he showed up again so I killed him again on same island LOC = +660, +2623 just a bit north of the 1st location which was around +150, +2600. I have 200 track and didn't see one escort on track but a few moments before the 1st escaped popped I did see that named "Froglok Escort" one pop then depop just a few moments later before I could find em.

Just before that "Froglok Escort" popped I was doing the named cycle killing and I didn't notice any named up when I killed em, don't know what that is worth but, I think that rotation has somethign to do with is. I was doing as suggested in previous post got nothing in 4 hours got frustrated and just started killing named for fun the boom all 3 spawn 1 after the other. I got my 2 pieces for the 3rd rank of the Demi Lich Skullcap quest and I'm done, sorry would test my theory out more but 4hrs is enough for now when I got 6 more ranks to go =)

Ok, I may have found the solid method to use to get "an escaped froglok" to spawn. Make sure you can see at least one "a froglok escort" alive in the zone and make sure he stays alive. You spawn them by waiting until 8pm game time and killing trash mosquitos and leeches. Once you get it to where there is at least one escort alive in the zone, go crazy killing every single newbie mob you see on the island, in the water near the island, or in the very newbie area near cabilis. As long as the escort is alive it gives the rare chance that "an escaped froglok" can spawn in place of a newbie mob rather than no chance if there are no escorts up. The secret to this method is just to keep continuously killing all the time and make sure the escort stays alive by killing all the mosquitos you see immediately when you see them. I got 2 of them to spawn within 5 game time hours which was less than 20 minutes apart and one spawned in the daytime. I hope this helps finally put an end to the wild goose chase...

where are these outlaws? i have been seaching for them but i cant find any. some loc's would be very helpfull!

I had searched for hours in the swamp of no hope on the Bert server and was unable to find a single froglok. I had the idea of killing off every low level npc i came across in the western portion of the zone. Shortly after, froglok escorts, skippers, tads, fisherman, and escapees were spawning all over the place. I noticed that whenever I was in the zone, I was usually alone or if there were any other pcs, they were normally higher level storming the froglok town. The frogloks seemed to spawn mostly west of the path which runs south from the East Cabilis entrance. I was able to kill about 6 skippers, 4 fishers, and several escapees and escorts within 30 minutes of clearing the area.

I spent about all day looking for these guys along with my friend. From 11 hours came 3 escaped froglocks... OH and i didnt kill any of the escorts... such a cheap quest for a shackle. IMO - a waste of time.

I think that the thing it says when it dies is saddening...
'Groooakk, At least I die... Free...'
The frogloks aren't so bad, really.

alright, people, HERE is what you do:

one, get the empty husk bag off the master guy in monks guild

two, get 4 leech husks, combone the bag

three, give combined bag to klok mugruk

four, you now have the TRAINING bag husk. combine with three seprwate pebbles in tailing kit

five, give training bag to master guy.

Sorry i ment they ARENT lvl 8

These things are lvl 8! not even lvl 7 or 6! there like lvl 3-5

Just one more note... when I killed the 'Froglok Escort' and found the escapee in the newbie area... I had the escorts fife on me. Maybe the fife is used by the escort to call escapees. Good luck.

I'm out looking for these lawbreakers to avenge their wrong doing and I think I found where they spawn. Its certainly near the newbie area on the east side of the path. They haul butt and avoid all PC's so the best thing to do is to wait just a bit off the water and listen for them and blast all of these D*%$ little frogloks in the name of the iskar.

These Frogloks are EXTREMELY annoying to hunt, but i've noticed that it seems to help them spawn if you kill skippers and tads. Not sure about normal escorts. However, when the escaped froglok spawns, at the same time "Froglok Escort" (exact name) spawns somewhere nearby and supposedly escorts the escaped froglok to the froggy city. The trick is to either be strong enough to take both of them, or to get the escaped froglok before its escort arrives. If you see Froglok Escort then hunt like mad for the escaped slave!!! hope that helps :) breon of the nameless

I've searched hell and high water in the Swamp of No Hope, and I think the name says it all.."No Hope". Is there no hope of finding them? I sure can't. If someone could please give some factual information, it would be greatly appreciated!
(Not that the other post was lacking, just didn't help a whole lot =)

The Escaped Frogloks appear to be around level 2 to 4; definitely under level 6.

The ones I've seen have spawned around the grassy part of the newbie area near the city gate (the area where the leeches, Froglok tads, misquitos, etc. are).

From there, they quickly take off into the swamp: first they head for the island just off the coast of the newbie area, then they usually turn right and keep going deeper into the swamp.

I've caught them both in the newbie area, before they take off, and on the island. On the island, I've usually caught them between the road and the coast, or sometimes in the water between the island and the mainland (but usually to the right when coming onto the island from the newbie area).

Haven't had any luck figuring out what, if anything, causes them to spawn. Sometimes I'll hunt in that area for several days in a row without seening any; other times (like today) I'll see three of them in less than an hour or two.

From the text when you kill a Frolok Escort, it seems reasonable that there's a connection between them and the escapees; but I can't figure out if you need to kill the Escorts or leave them alone...
