    Sage Balic may be found at the top of the tower in the neutral section of town at /location -15, 60.

    You say, 'Hail, Sage Balic'

    Sage Balic says 'Greetings friend. Welcome to my place of private contemplation. I relax here and leaf through my old studies, admiring at creations from the past made by races we thought would never amount to anything. My favorite tomes to look at are those that deal with Frogloks.'

    You say, 'What frogloks?'

    Sage Balic says 'A surprising race to study is the Frogloks of Antonica. While we may think their magic was weak, it was at one time so powerful the Gods reached down and smote them for their creations. Balls of energy that made life into magic! Their High Enchanter even made a mask that transformed the wearer into a Teir`Dal! Quite an interesting race worthy of some study if you ask me, someday I shall like to go and see these frogloks, especially to learn more knowledge of the magical mask.'

    You say, 'What magical mask?'

    Sage Balic blinks and looks at you. 'I have told you all that I know, for more knowledge you will need to seek its creator. The enchanter is more than likely very old, the mask having been made at the height of the power of the Froglok race. Here take this picture book to aid you in your quest.'

    Sage Balic hands you a Picturebook.

    In Upper Guk, find "an old froglok" (location 1280, +220, -94; PH = "a froglok ton shaman" but does not need to be killed as it will despawn in place of the old froglok).

    You must have at least 'warmly' faction with Frogloks of Guk in order to get a response out of it. (Note: Undead frogloks in Old Sebilis give +25 faction per hit, so may be among the best kill targets for faction increases.)

    You say, 'Hail, an old froglok'

    an old froglok says 'Frroooaaaaaakkkk!'

    Give him the book.

    an old froglok backflips and says, 'Frroooaaaaaakkkk! I'm in this book! You see me! Owww that flip hurt my old bones! Frroooaaaaaakkkk! Look there is a picture of my maaask from long ago! Frroooaaaaaakkkk! I keep book! You taaake this recipe! Maaaybe more! I'm in book! Frroooaaaaaakkkk!'

    Your faction standing with Frogloks of Guk got better.

    You receive an Elf Essence Recipe, which reads:

    Grind up the parts of both the elves of dark and the elves of light, of which descended from the same tree. A source of celestial liquid as the base and the fungus from this scroll shall cause a reaction that will decant the pure essence.

    You say, 'What about the mask?'

    an old froglok says, 'Frroooaaaaaakkkk! Speciaaal maaask I maaake for sneaky types! Lost long ago! Baaad frogs taaake! I too old to maaake more! Frroooaaaaaakkkk! Maaagic aaalmost used up! So cold! You help me! I help you!'

    You say, 'I will help you.'

    an old froglok says, 'Frroooaaaaaakkkk! So cold! You bring me waaarm velium mastodon fur cloaaak! I need supplies! You bring me maaana juice! You bring me elf essence! You bring me sturdy froglock crown those naaasty big frogs stole! Frroooaaaaaakkkk! I maaake you something nice! So cold! You bring me all those things, don't forget cloaaak!'

    The Froglok needs four things:

    Elf Essence (crafted via baking)

    Reet Froglok Crown (drops in Old Sebilis from "reet" mobs in the juggernaut tunnels)

    Vial of Purified Mana (summoned by an enchanter via Purify Mana or Mass Purify Mana or crafted via research)

    Velium Mastodon Fur Cloak (crafted via tailoring)

    Hand all 4 items to the old froglok.

    an old froglok says 'Frroooaaaaaakkkk!!! This cloaaak so waaarm! Here let me work! Frroooaaaaaakkkk!' The old froglok goes to work on the crown and after uttering a few froaks, a small cloud of smoke rises from the crown. You reach over and pick it up. 'Frroooaaaaaakkkk! Maaagic haaat! Taaake good care of it aaand staay away from baaad frogs! Frroooaaaaaakkkk!'

    You receive the Crown of Deceit.

    That count is very wrong, bro. I was low dubious last night and capped my faction out after a few hours of slaughtering in lguk. It's not even possible for 6700 undead frogs to even spawn in that time frame. Anyways, if -2500 is max kos and 0 is indifferent, the lowest faction increase per kill you can get is 1. So, that means, if you are completely bottomed out, the highest number of frogs you'd have to kill to get from max kos to indiff is 2500 about. The numbers aren't too far off.

    The guy above is probobly correct - there seems to be some kind of bug with the live frog faction - it would seem that the live frogs do not have a bottom faction, or if they do, it's WAY lower than the -2500 of everyone else.

    Additionally, it would also seem that the faction hits that are being given when earning are either not all showing up, or are not full faction hits - perhaps only 1/2 or even 1/4 hits.

    As a troll SK who worships CT, I've made just over 2000 kills and are still fully KOS even while wearing the ghoul lord scalp.

    1. That number is horribly wrong. 2. Once you get past Scowling, it takes maybe 3 hours which means maybe 500 or so frogs. 3. From scowling to max faction it would take maybe around 3,000 frogs.

    I would have to agree with it being in the range of 3,000 froggies. I xp'd there from like 38 to 44. I can say with surety I did not kill 6700 frogs there. It takes from dubious to max indifferent (iksar monk) a few hundred kills. Range of 300 to 400. So I'm guessing 2500 to 3000 kills to do max kos to max faction.

    If you have questions, I would refer you to the eqclasses.necro boards. Look there for the posts concerning faction for chardok. Very informative on how many hits it takes from max kos to max ally.

    Also, from amiable to max indifferent for an iksar monk is very small. Range of one to two ae rounds. Which for use was about 20 frogs a round. So, for you iksar monks out there, once you hit amiable it's basically a done deal.
