Note: Unless you're an enchanter with the benefit of faction spells and illusions, this quest may be a bit time consuming.

Clurg, the Ogre bartender in Ogguk, has lost his bartender's compendium and wants it back badly. It is currently held by Bartender Gregor, in the Seafarer's Roost in East Freeport. Fortunately, Gregor has a lust for exotic drinks, and lacks only the ingredients to make his dream concoctions. He will give you the compendium for those ingredients.

You say, 'Hail, Gregor Nasin'

Gregor Nasin says, 'Sit down and name your poison! I know we are lacking in originality, but I intend to create some [exotic drinks].'

You say, 'What exotic drinks?'

Gregor Nasin says, 'Interested in exotic drinks, are we? I am attempting to create some of these drinks I read about in this book I found. It was called the [Barkeep's Compendium]. I will first need to get my hands on a few [exotic ingredients].'

You say, 'What Barkeep's Compendium?'

Gregor Nasin says, 'I found the book amongst some garbage littering the ground in Freeport East. It appears to have been created by an ogre named [Clurg]. I am sure he wants it returned, but I will never part with it. That is... unless I get a few [exotic ingredients] I need to experiment with.'

You say, 'Who is Clurg?'

Gregor Nasin says, 'I do not know. Ask an ogre. Maybe they have heard of him.'

You say, 'What exotic ingredients?'

Gregor Nasin says, 'I desire a [kiola nut], [Erud's Tonic], [honey jum] and a [Koalindl fish]. If I could get those, I would no longer need to hold on to the [Barkeep's Compendium]. Whoever returned the ingredients to me could have it!'

Gregor wants you to get him the following items:

- Kiola Nut (purchased on the island of Erollisi in the Ocean of Tears for 2 gold pieces)

- Erud's Tonic (NO TRADE item that results from a quick quest; see the link to the left)

- Honey Jum from Rivervale (droppable item that results from the Honey Jum quest; see the link to the left)

- Koalindl Fish from the lake in the Temple of Life in Qeynos (NO TRADE item). You can get this fish one of a few ways: You can do the Regurgatonic quest in Ak'Anon and give the tonic to Frostbite the dog in West Karana (who coughs up a fish). You can also kill Frostbite (at the expense of your Halas faction). Or you can kill koalindl fish below the Temple of Life in Qeynos (major faction hits with the Priests of Life).

Give these items to Bartender Gregor in East Freeport. It's suggested you do the turn-ins one at a time to prevent it from getting bugged. You'll receive some platinum and the Bartender's Compendium (NO TRADE).

Hand in all four ingredients -- the nut, the NO-TRADE version of the tonic, the honey jum, and the fish.

Gregor Nasin says, 'Now I have every ingredient mentioned in the Barkeep Compendium. Here. You take it. <..click!..> Whoops! I just closed it. It's magically sealed. I never closed it before. It's useless to you. I have no need for it any longer. Maybe you can return it to [Clurg] for some type of reward.'

Your faction standing with Carson McCabe has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards has been adjusted by 1.

Take the Compendium to Clurg. If you're KOS in Oggok, you'll need to do faction work beforehand. Ogre or Dark Elf illusions coupled with a faction spell will also work, provided your faction isn't too low.

Upon doing the turn-in, Clurg gives you the Stein of Moggok.

[Thu Feb 11 16:01:35 2016] Clurg says 'Ahhh! My Barkeep Compendium has been returned! I am in your debt. I do not like to be in any man's debt. Let me offer you this as payment for your great service. Obtaining my book could not have been a simple task.'

Your faction standing with Clurg has been adjusted by 50.
Your faction standing with Kazon Stormhammer has been adjusted by -50.
Your faction standing with Green Blood Knights has been adjusted by 50.
Your faction standing with Craknek Warriors has been adjusted by 50.
Your faction standing with Oggok Guards has been adjusted by 50.

Running Through the Quest...

You say, 'Hail, Clurg'

Clurg says 'Hello, friend. Have a drink. I have some [unique drinks]. Try one. And remember. You get rowdy, the [Bouncers] crush you.'

You say, 'What unique drinks?'

Clurg says 'I have been all over Norrath and even served with some very great [barkeeps in Freeport]. I am the creator of both [Flaming Clurg] and Ogre Swill.'

You say, 'What barkeeps in Freeport?'

Clurg says 'Yes. I have journeyed to many taverns, but it was in Freeport that I acquired most of my art. I compiled all my drink recipes in a [special book].'

You say, 'What Flaming Clurg?'

Clurg says 'The Flaming Clurg was my greatest creation. It brought me great respect in Oggok. Unfortunately, I have heard tales of an [imposter drink].'

He won't say any more unless your faction is high enough.

You say, 'What special book?'

Clurg says 'Find ways to help all in Oggok. Then we will have conversation.'

You say, 'What imposter drink?'

Clurg says 'Find ways to help all in Oggok. Then we will have conversation.'

chanter lvl 8
# Jun 18 2001 at 7:32 PM Rating: Default
This quest is easy for any enchanter. High Elves might be easier than DE's. Since your not KoS in Qeynos or Island or Erollisi, or Erudin (unless you seriously screwed up your faction in 8 levels) you dont even have to change form. But the hard part is getting into Oggok. You dont get a non KoS race until level 12 or 16 if i remember correctly. Even then you need to cast alliance and any other faction spells you have. So my suggestion is to wait until then to finish the quest if you are HE chanter.
P.S. Clurg is the ogre bartender and is near the warrior guild if i remember correctly
getting fish
# Jun 18 2001 at 7:27 PM Rating: Default
the easiest way for me to get the fish (im a level 8 chanter) is to kill the fish itself with a Half Elf warrior mule. just get to level 2 and practice everything in strength and you should be able to kill the fish easy enough. just watch out for the Pally who walks around the pond. he will kill you if you attack the fish
non kos race

just change to non KoS race in Oggok just to be safe

how can a lvl 8 HIE enc do this?

I have seen a few people saying how a lvl 8 high elf enchanter can do this. I would really appreciate if someone could give me explicit directions on how to do this, and what to be careful for. I would also like someone to tell me where the bartender in Oggok is.

All you need is to drop a bow and some arrows. open the door heading to the war guild and tke a pop shot and haul *** out the door jump in to the water and the dumb bouncer in there is to far away to do anything get in there real quick with your gnome ench<which should be unlos to merchants> turn into a table or so with minor illusion and then cast allainace leaving you with admidable faction. so you could get the quest fairly easy

Please just create a SK in Qeynos to kill fish once one has the Fish log on your main char and loot it you will have to wait a little while to loot thats all. WOW no faction hit, once your SK faction is too bad ditch him and start another i have done this quest about 28 times and its nice little earner. Get a druid friend with group TP to help sell for 100 plat and split 50 - 50 with your TP machine. With a TP machine this quest takes me an average of 18 mins a stien so don't be greedy in your sales help out the lower lvls and still make cash.

I just completed this quest with my lvl 8 High Elf Enchanter in about 2 hours. It's so easy its not even funny. All you need if you don't have the illussions is a druid to port you to Feerott and wolf you once you get inside the Ogre city.

This is so simple its funny. To get the Koalindl Fish simply create a SHADOW KNIGHT/HUMAN in Qeynos. Go to the pond and use HARM TOUCH on the fish. The fish will probably die, but if it doesn't, just simply slash it ONCE with your begginer's sword.

Done that a few times, WORKS EVERYTIME. Period.

Great item BTW. IT'S WORTH IT.

Worth
# May 26 2001 at 2:05 PM Rating: Default
OK ppl. This has become a very undervalued piece here. A +10 int +5 dex light healing effect item is worth much more than 200pp. yes, I know this is a common item, but we are chanters, and we control the retreival and sale of this item. It time to take a stand and make our 2-3hours of play time worth what it's worth. I've started sell at 220pp and ppl will buy at this price. It used to be worth 275pp, but since ppl like you have been seling for less, players won't buy it for much more than 200pp. I cannot stess the importance of this matter. This is one of the best int items I've seen. I admit I'm no expert to EQ, but we must still stand firm on this. ENCHANTERS UNITE!!!!!

I stay price is fine but all u Enc's DO NOT sell for less than 200p its a great way for us to earn money but Enc do not own this bizness ppl just get a Enc to 8 and get 1 for there alts Ect

I can get 1-2 plat on an iksar monk in FOB in 20mins by killin critters around there. I could get 200plats by 16 if i TRIED. Ill take whatever i can get
The fish
# May 23 2001 at 9:13 PM Rating: Default
You can get the fish by killing frostbite. I am a lvl 13 DE necro and i had to kill him about 5 times to get the fish. It was bad cause he was blue so I got XP. You just have to watch out of the Barbarian that is around there.

I've done this quest twice and given her 3 plat each time and no problem, she always gives me honey jum, so getting the 30 gp is probably a waste of time.

Don't do what I did the other day. I did the quest once and felt it was easy, just a little time-consuming. But I needed the money since I'm close to lvl 16, so I figured I'd do it again. Well, I get everything, go to Freeport, sell the one from the first time I did the quest figuring I'll have another in 15 min. I get to Ogguk under illusion DE and invis. Unfortunately I forgot to cast alliance on Clurg like I did the first time I did the quest. I hand the compendium to him and Clurg just says something like 'Come back later when we can talk about other things' or something like that. It was a little late so I wasn't thinkning I suppose. Just don't forget to cast alliance on him first, or he might not be friendly enough to give you the Stein after taking the book.

Yes I agree malees do not let you get a chance to loot. I say to them to give other Chars a chance. We call them power looters.
Some notes
# May 11 2001 at 4:49 AM Rating: Default
Reading through some of these postings I just wanted to get a couple of points out. When handing anything off to any NPC ALWAYS hail them first. You will have a lot more success. As for faction if you are an enchanter never kill the fish yourself. You may want or need to do this several times. Especially if you are trying to improve your jewelcraft skills. (Very expensive.) Sometimes you can get someone in the area with good faction to kill it for you. They will not become KOS until they kill at least 4 and that is if they are indifferent. Best way is to use the mule char though. If you are not an enchanter and have the book to give to Clurg then have an enchanter cast Sympathetic Aura on you this may raise your Charisma enough to get the stein. . Your faction with Clurg does not need to be that high. Needs to be above dubious. I am a human enc and just use illusion DE and get it every time, 10 so far.
Easiest way I found is similar to the post at the top but here is my version. ** Note pay for the ports you will make the money back soon enough.
*Bind at FP docks.
*Run to RV killing every bixie in sight. Give 3 honeycombs and 30g, must be gold, to Kizzy or something like that. Hail her first, she will give you some honeyjum. Put all of the remaining honeycombs you may have in the bank so you have them for the next time. and gate back to the docks.
*Get on the boat to the Ocean of tears and buy a ton of Kiola nuts from the sister island. ( You will only need one but again save for later) Gate back.
* run to EC and yell for a port to Toxx and pay whetever, usually 15-25pp for me.
* cast true north and run straight ahead to the edge of the zone then find the ent to Erudin on the north edge somewhere.
* in Erudin buy the Innuroks Kiss of Death from the first shop inside from Toxx on the right.
*Take it to the third floor of the library right outside of the shop there are 2 women there give it to the one that talks about reading when you HAIL her she will give you a bottle of milk. Run to the Erudin dock.
*take the boat to Quenos and go to the temple of life. Create a war mule char and go to the gate and kill rats till you get to 2. Then go to the temple and kill a kolandi fish. Beware of the guard in the water if he sees you killing the fish he will attack. After killing the fish check it for the scales but do not loot it. If it is there camp the mule in the water and log back your other char and get the scales off the kolandi. Gate back to the docks.
*Give the Honeyjum, one nut, the milk, and the fish to Gregor. He will give you a book.
*Run to EC and shout for a port to Feerott. Cast True north and run to the north end of the zone. Or run across Nro, oasis, Sro, .....to Feerott. Find the ent to Oggok, careful there are some guards at the ent and you will have to invis or illusion DE or Ogre to get by them. Once inside remember to cast illusion DE after you zone. Run to the Place eat drink tew buy or whatever. Hail Clurg and con him. If he is indiff or lower you should use every faction spell you have then give him the book and you will get the stein. Gate back. Sell it for 200pp in EC easily then its off to RV for more honeyjum to do it again.
Hope this helps Good luck.
Side note **The reason we can get this so early and sell for so much because we are the only class with illusions to get us in and out safe and the stats on the stein are good enough to warrant the price.

Make A HIGH ELF Enchanter. Level To TWELVE. Goto Freeport East And Talk To The Bartender, Gregor. Bind Yourself There.

Get A SoW. Run Through EC > WC > Kith. While In Kith, Kill All The Bixies Possible. Before Going Into RV, Make Sure You Have THREE HONEY COMBS. Go Into RV, Head To Bank. Pull Out THIRTY GOLD. Take Your GOLD And HONEY COMBS To Kizzie, Cast ALLICANCE On Her Before Giving Her Anything. She's In A Place Near Fool's Gold, Just look Around. She Will Give You HONEYJUM. Now, Gate. Come Back Out To EC. Find A Port To WEST KARANA. Goto QEYNOS NORTH. Create A Level 1 Pally. Goto Pond. Kill Fish. In The Time It Takes To Log Out And Back In, Your Chanter Should Be Able To Loot The Fish, Without Taking The Fation Hit. Get On The Boat To ERUDIN. Go Into ERUDIN And Find An Alcohol Merchant Selling "Innorruk's Kiss Of Death". It's A Drink. Take The Drink To The BIG CYLINDRICAL BUILDING Like Five Paces Away. Head Up. About The Top Floor There Are Two Women. The One On The Left, If Your Back Is To Wall And They Face Away From You, Is Your Woman. Cast ALLIANCE On Her. Give Her The KISS OF DEATH. She Will Reward You With ERUD'S TONIC. Next, Goto OOT And Buy A KIOLA NUT. Or, Maybe Auction For Them Throught The Journey, You Will Be Suprised How Many Have Them. Gate Back To FREEPORT WEST. Take Your HUNEY JUM, KOALINDL FISH, ERUD'S TONIC, AND KIOLA NUT, And Give Them, ONE AT A TIME, To Gregor. Stand CLOSE UP To Him. Some Report That He Won't Give Book If Ur Not Close Up (Kinda Lika A Secret Trade ?). Get A Port To FEEROTT. Goto OGGUK Using ILLUSION DARK ELF And INVIS And Go Back To Clurg. Hail Him. Talk About His Drinks, Then His Book, Then About How He Lost It, Blah Blah Blah. Cast ALLIANCE On Him. Give Him Book. He Gives The Prized STEIN OF MOGGOK. Grats. Hit Gate, Goto EC And Shout To Everyone That You Are The Queen Of The World. Mind, We Did This At Level 12 With No Major Faction Loss With The Included Races, And Casted ALLIANCE On Most, If Not, All Of The NPC's Involved. If You Have Any Questions, Comments, Ot Concerns. Please. Reread And Findout Where You Messed Up. Because I Didn't.

>Make A HIGH ELF Enchanter. Level To TWELVE.

How is this "easiest"? A Dark Elf Enchanter can do this at level 8, and any other race enchanter (not just High Elves) can do it at level 12.

Your information is good (outside of the make a High Elf part), but it's hard to read because you didn't use paragraphs.
