You say, 'Hail, Golsodix Biroboddle'

Golsodix Biroboddle says 'Hello there Gnormy. I must admit that I am not in the highest of spirits on this day. So unless you know something about [Xoomix], please leave me alone.'

You say, 'Who is Xoomix?'

Golsodix Biroboddle says 'Xoomix is a very dear friend of mine that was .. gulp. lost at sea. We were separated when the dastardly Broken Skull Clan overtook our boat. I was the only one that was able to escape but I fear the worst for my friend. Would you be willing to [help me find Xoomix]?'

You say, 'I will help you find Xoomix.'

Golsodix Biroboddle says 'You are quite the likeable fellow ______. I do appreciate you willing to help me locate where my friend has gone, even if he has passed I would like some proof so that I may sleep easy at night knowing he is at peace. I can begin your search by telling you where our [journey had taken us].'

You say, 'Where had your journey taken you?'

Golsodix Biroboddle says 'Well you see we were setting sail for the city of Freeport. Xoomix received a few telegrams about some tinkering supplies that were available to him should we be able to travel to Freeport and pick them up. Xoomix was a fantastic Tinkerer, he could just about build anything out of nothing. If he should be alive I am sure that he has used his skills to survive. The first place I could ask you to look is around the area of Butcherblock dock. That is where our ship was [overtaken].'

You say, 'Who overtook your ship?'

Golsodix Biroboddle says 'I do not remember that much from the incident, it happened ever so fast. I do remember how there were many trolls that chanted Glory to the Rok! repeatedly. Perhaps this will aid you in your search. Please return to me with some good news. And please give this clockwork eye to Xoomix should you find him alive, I imagine it will lift his spirits. We used to collect them as children.'

Golsodix Biroboddle hands you "a Clockwork Eye" (Lore, No-Drop)

--In the Gulf of Gunthak, inside the lighthouse--


You say, 'Hail, Xoomix Haroinoddin'

Xoomix Haroinoddin says, 'Please. Please help me. I am weak and being [held captive] here against my will.'

You say, 'Who is holding you captive?'

Xoomix Haroinoddin says 'What are you doing?!?! Keep your voice down! You don't know who I am, you are just another adventurer who will look and feel sorry for me, but will do nothing to help!'

Give him the clockwork eye from Golsodix in Ak'Anon.

Xoomix Haroinoddin says 'How did you get this? Is it possible you come from my friend Golsodix? I am very sorry for yelling at you. You have no idea how being here has broken my spirit. I almost lost all hope and given up many times, but I knew my friend was out there and would send someone for me. If you can help me escape, I will certainly need my [tools].'

You say, 'What tools?'

Xoomix Haroinoddin says 'Well, I have many tools that I have either lost while in this place or that were taken from me because the guards felt they had too much value for me to possess them. I also need my gearbox from back home to construct my compass that I need to escape this place. I could set sail anytime I want, but I did not want to risk setting out to sea and dying alone because I didn't know my bearings. If you could [find my possessions] then I could make something that Golsodix would know came from me and he could give you my gearbox.'

You say, 'I will find your possessions.'

Xoomix Haroinoddin says 'That is great news, ______! I will need you to collect four things for me, if you are up to the challenge. My quarterstaff, silvered micro servos, metallic oil and personal toolbox. If you can find these things I can make you something to take to Golsodix. Please return to me with these things when you have found them and make haste because I have grown quite tired being stuck here for so long.'

So I collected the following drops off the following mobs:

-Metallic Oil- random off any mob in the huts surrounding the pirate fort, and sometimes inside the fort, in Gulf of Gunthak.

-Xoomix's Toolbox- dropped off one of the ogre shipbuilders in the northeast corner of Dulak's Harbor.

-Silvered Micro Servos- dropped off a shipyard architect(the gnomes), also in the northeast corner of Dulak's Harbor.

-Xoomix's Quarterstaff- dropped off a Gandolak cannoneer(a troll), on the ship Gandolak's Run in Dulak's Harbor.

All in all, I think the last 3 items are a random drop anywhere in the zone, off any mob except the luggalds.

(After handing in the 4 items to Xoomix back at the lighthouse)


Xoomix Haroinoddin says 'I don't believe it. I never thought I would ever see these tools again. It is quite clear that you intend to help me and for that I am grateful. Here is a quick little something that put together for Golsodix. Bring him this and ask him for my gearbox. Once I have that, I think I can finally get home! Please come back soon!'

(Received "a tinkered contraption", lore no drop)

--Back at Golsodix in Ak'Akon--

(After handing in "a tinkered contraption")


Golsodix Biroboddle says 'A contraption from Xoomix! I knew he was still alive. This also says that he needs his gearbox to make his compass so he can return home. I must have it here somewhere let me take a look. Ah, here it is. Please take this to Xoomix so he can return home and thank you for all your kind deeds to help a lost gnome. Brell certainly smiles down upon you!'

(Received "a locked gearbox" or "Xoomix's gearbox" or something, I forgot. lore, no drop)

--Back in Gulf of Gunthak--

(After handing in item from Golsodix to Xoomix)


Xoomix Haroinoddin says 'This is it indeed! It has everything I need in here to return home. Please take this charm that I have carried with me for many years. It has brought me good luck throughout my ordeal here and now that I am returning home, I do not think I will need it anymore. Safe travels to you ______, I must now ready my boat and finish my compass. May Lord Brell bless you forever!'

Received Xoomix's Mystical Charm.

He's in the lighthouse on Tribunal. The missing quote is:

"How did you get this? Is it possible you come from my friend Golsodix? I am very sorry for yelling at you. You have no idea how being here has broken my spirit. I almost lost all hope and given up many times, but I knew my friend was out there and would send someone for me. If you can help me escape, I will certainly need my [tools]."
Xoomix Location

Can confirm that Xoomix is no longer in Lighthouse, instead I tracked him and found him swimming under the boat, almost directly under the PoK. He still does the quest.

FYI

but is very rare
Hmmm

back before the patch that made bard ae songs no longer work on moving mobs (ae kiting) i was hunting in dulak rather frequently. and the 3 dulak items here all dropped rather often. all in all i would say each piece dropped 4 or more times. and i always deleted them! not knowing what they were for. i really feel like a shmuts. well, just thought i would tell everyone my sob story.

Golsodix Biroboddle . Can't find him?
Zone in, go past the lake, go up ramp and down to where the merchants are in each corner. Turn left. Go down that hall to the T. Turn right. Go to the end. There is a door on your left. Tada .... Golsodix Biroboddle.

Why don't we just bring the gnome back with us to his home? Just a thought.

hmm i handed xoomix all 4 items

but he gav eme back the quater staff saying he has no use for it and i got the tinkered contraption lol

did i spend 11 useless hours on the dandulak??
RE: xoom quarter staff
# Apr 13 2004 at 1:25 AM Rating: Excellent
Sounds like he had someone else hand it in before and not have everything else. (A Failed MQ perhaps?) You didn't waste 11 hours, you just have a spare peice now to attempt a MQ for a friend/guildie/sell.
Servo
# Dec 25 2003 at 7:08 PM Rating: Decent
I spent about 5 hours a day for a dang week killing those gnomes before I finally got that servo. I am off to Gunthak for the oil now, I can only hope it comes a bit easier than the servo drop. But if anyone is trying to get it dont give up, just get mad and keep pulling.
Real quick.....

....I'm faak and haven't posted in a LONG time. I liked this lil quest since before LoY came out and only got Brotherhood Charm. Now, just popped 64 and took a jaunt out to Dulak. In NE corner of zone, NW corner of that section you CAN get a toolbox. Mine was an Ogre Shipbuilder 45 mins ago. I did a few mobs outside fort and the whole inside except the luggalds...nada on Oil so I came here to re-read. I'll do this some more tomorrow til guildies drag me back to reality.....I have the 1/4 staff from months ago and the servo's are NOT as uncommon as the oil, so I'm goin for that in my spare time now.
MQ'able
# Dec 08 2003 at 2:20 PM Rating: Decent
Anyone know if this quest is MQ'able. I have 3 of the item and a guildie has the forth. Would hate to lose the oil, its a pain to get.
I want my oil
# Aug 16 2003 at 10:36 AM Rating: Default
Oh god! im never gonna finish this quest! I just cant find the oil! Ive spent a whole week hunting first fort and 2 days hunting town. Someone mentioned to me the other day that they might have changed loot tables lately in LoY zone because of farming, which would make some sense to me, but i have absolutely no idea if its true. I just want something better than my brotherhood charm....and while im on the subject,i cant stand that PoP charm. It makes the other LoY charms look bad. I know u have to get flagged to get it to work which is tough, but still, i think they should upgrade the LoY charms, that would be cool. Thanks for listening to me rant.
Thnx fer the info

Was gettin kinda worried about the Metalic Oil there, lvl 54 BL was makin some progress around the fort but no dropage :(, will try again later. The other stuff seemed almost common, confirmed Troll Cannoneer on Dandy gave me the staff (after i pried it from his cold dead hands), and I camped a spot by the shipbuilders (solo again) and got the toolbox from an ogre, and the servos from a gnome, also a named gnome that drops a decent belt too :). All in all str & dex would be nice, but sadly my gear is crap so ext range II won't come fer another few lvls & buffs so... all in all if yer board and a high lvl this quest is..... dumb and frustrating, but i'm REALLY bored heh, hope all that helps.

ADDED.... Ok took me about 4hours, but the oil droped off the ogre marauder (as mentioned before) outside of the pirate fort (again, as mentioned before). I've had the charm for about a week or so now, and it's, at best, decent. For a BL there's better out there, ext range is only good for Pet Heals, but even then at 55 I don't have anywhere near 250dex (unless i'm 60+shammy buffed, and have boon on). However str&mana boost is MUCH needed, cuz i'm a weakling with no mana, and crap gear. Hope that helps 8D.

quarterstaff
# Jun 28 2003 at 8:30 AM Rating: Default
I got my quarter staff off a troll fisherman on the dock by the dandolak (sp).
Metallic oil
# May 15 2003 at 8:23 PM Rating: Decent
Well the metallic oil is a VERY rare drop expect to be killing 4-5 days before one drops off an Ogre Marauder.

Im on my 5th day of killing im up to 300-400 kills so far.
Where is Xoomix?
# May 10 2003 at 8:49 AM Rating: Decent
I am at the last turn in, and I have looked for Xoomix for 4 days - he is not to be found. The last place that I found him was by the CoN zone, not the lighthouse. Can anyone confirm his spawn point and times??

Thanks )

RE: Where is Xoomix?
# Jun 25 2003 at 2:38 AM Rating: Decent
To do initial conversation with him, I tracked him to the boat zoneline.....specifically, UNDER the boat. He was swimmin and could not be hailed. I contacted a GM, he 'Sent him home', to quote the GM, and proved his spot to me. When you enter the Lighthouse he should be at your 2:00 past Soul Binder. The funniest part was that he was still swimmin on land. Everytime I've seen him since he was standing in that same spot. And, not for nothin, but on Luclin Server I've seen his Quarterstaff ONLY in maybe 25 4-6 hour play-days out in Dulak. No one seems to have seen these items at all.....

Who drops it ?
# May 07 2003 at 6:23 AM Rating: Decent
I´ve read on various threads here that drop from Troll Crewman and Cannoneer (never see a Troll Cannoneer on Dandolak Runs ship). I have clean this ship dozen times (spawn Captain 3 times) but no Staff yet. Someone told me thar drop from a Troll Fisherman on Dulak too... Anyone can confirm this?
MQ

I have the all the pieces between 2 characters...does anyone know if i can MQ this quest?
Birododdle's LOC
# Apr 19 2003 at 6:44 PM Rating: Decent
As stated before, Birododdle's loc is correct (+1178, -850). He's located NW of the mage's guild, under the clockwork brewers. If you have the map, he's in the yellow cells, four or so in a row, in the NE portion of the map. Good luck! :)
Where is ?
# Apr 13 2003 at 12:26 PM Rating: Decent
Where is Golsodix Biroboddle' in Ak Anon seem loc mentioned here is wrong.
Cool

Xoomix's Quaterstaff drops from a(Troll)Crew Man, just got one today. Not sure about Cannoneer yet.
Metallic Oil
# Mar 16 2003 at 6:57 AM Rating: Decent
Got the Oil today after making 3 laps around the fort killing everything in sight. It dropped off the Ogre Marauder just like they mention below. I suspect this is a RARE drop! I sure hope the others aren't as hard, but knowing how VI operates on quests hardly worth your time and effort, I'm not holding my breath!
