    You say, 'Hail, Shin Master Grubbus.'

    Shin Master Grubbus says 'Welcome back, young Shin. I hope your training is going well. I have made note of your progress as best I can, and you are truly following in the footsteps of Marr with every day that passes. As a paladin of Marr we must uphold His name and destroy those that wish to bring evil upon our people. Under Marr, I am able to offer you an additional path for training, should you truly desire to follow the path of a [Paladin].'

    You say, 'i am a paladin'

    Shin Master Grubbus says 'Very good. Initiates of the Knighthood of Marr must pass a series of tests. If you are devout and loyal to our cause you will be rewarded with our [ceremonial armor].'

    You say, 'what ceremonial armor?'

    Shin Master Grubbus says 'We, the Shin Initiates, play an important role as mentors, healers, and warriors against evil in the Guktan Army. As a Shin Initiate all your battles should be fought in Marr's name. To show your homage to both Mithaniel Marr and our fellow brethren in the Guktan Army, young initiates are encouraged to complete a series of tasks that, when completed, will grant a set of Shin Initiate Armor. This armor shows your dedication and commitment to our cause. If you truly wish to walk in the path of The Truthbringer, I strongly suggest you complete your set of armor before venturing too far outside of the swamp. Are you [ready to begin]?'

    You say, 'i am ready to begin'

    Shin Master Grubbus says 'Take this assembly kit. When you combine various items together in the assembly kit, you can create the different pieces of armor that you will need, such as [helm], [armguards], [breastplate], [bracers], [gauntlets], [legplates], and [boots]. If you would like to start crafting your armor, just tell me what piece you would like to craft and I will give you further instructions.'

    Shin Master Grubbus will then hand you an Assembly Kit.

    You say, 'i wish to craft a breastplate'

    Shin Master Grubbus says 'This is the most difficult item that you will make. Please meditate on this and make sure you are ready before you begin. Through great perseverance and piety we are able to overcome almost any obstacle. To make a Breastplate of the Shin Initiate you will need to travel to the Common Lands, the Deserts of Ro, and Innothule Swamp and gather a Lightstone, one Pristine Giant Scarab Carapace, a Desert Tarantula Chitin, a Deathfist Slashed Belt, and two Small Bricks of Ore. If you cannot locate any ore in your travels, you might be able to find some ore for sale by visiting the local merchants. Once you have found these items, combine them in your assembly kit and take the newly created material to a forge, such as the one in the Gukta Exchange, along with this mold. After you have completed your Breastplate, come back to talk to me if you wish to perform your [final test].'

    Shin Master Grubbus will then hand you a Mold.

    You say, 'what final test?'

    Shin Master Grubbus says 'Not all of our brethren follow the ways of The Truthbringer. In fact, a once noble paladin of our cause has decided to betray us and side with the trolls. For what reason, I do not know. His name is Fipok Glubble. There have been numerous sightings of him in the swamp. He must be stopped before he can cause any harm to our people. If you can find him, bring me his head and I will reward you.'

    Give Fipok's head to Shin Master Grubbus.

    Shin Master Grubbus says 'In the name of The Truthbringer! You have done it! Excellent work! Take this Blade of the Shin Initiate. May it aid you in your future battles!'

    Your faction standing with Paladins of Gukta got better.
    Your faction standing with Protectors of Gukta got better.
    Your faction standing with High Council of Gukta got better.
    Your faction standing with Lorekeepers of Gukta got better.

    For days, if not off and on over a few weeks, I've been checking the exile tower area. If I cleared the area over and over, all I'd find are larvae and mosquitoes with the rare chance of a kobold.

    When servers come back up after whatever, there are froglok exiles and traitors all over, as well as trolls. That's when I found Fipok. I also saw some Yun Jerahk the Poisoned named and that was a first ever.

    Seems the spawn table is broken so that once exiles and traitors are killed, only larvae and mosquitoes will spawn thereafter. There may be a time table such as they only spawn at night, but that would baffle me since this is a newbie quest that would take the player so long, that even when this quest came out it would be easier to out-level and out-gear this quest before their NPC spawns.

    The best part of this quest is that Fipok's Head is NOT!!! NO DROP. My lvl 24 Mage on Saryrn has one if someone is interested.

    Fipok spawns around a bunch of undead almost due north of Gukta. It's not too far from the north wall of the zone.

    Lemme be the first to ask: Where does this guy spawn?? I am more than willing to trade his head for a sword. I'mm sure he'll agree when at last I meet him.
