You say, 'Hail, Taxonomist Darwin Grisk'

Taxonomist Darwin Grisk says 'Have you come to [help]? If not, be gone! I will not have my time wasted.'

You say, 'I have come to help.'

Taxonomist Darwin Grisk says 'Recently rumors have surfaced that a new race, the Luggalds, walks the land. I suspect that some evil force is involved in their appearance. Are you [willing] to risk unknown dangers to help me find out?'

You say, 'I am willing.'

Taxonomist Darwin Grisk says 'Good. I have not been able to confirm the existence of these beings. I will need definite proof if the rest of the members of the Academy are to believe me. Take this Warded Satchel and retrieve three examples of Luggald Flesh.'

You receive a Warded Satchel, a 4-slot GIANT container. Head to Dulak's Harbor and collect 3 Luggald Flesh, a random drop from various luggalds there. Combine the flesh in the satchel to craft Warded Luggald Samples. Give this to Darwin.

Taxonomist Darwin Grisk says 'Very good. This will no doubt convince the others. However, we don't have time to wait for their consensus. Deep in the uncovered Crypt of Nadox the Luggalds seem to be at work. This can mean nothing good for the mortal world. You must provide further [aid].'

You say, 'What aid?'

Taxonomist Darwin Grisk says 'Travel to the Crypt of Nadox and slay as many of the Luggalds there as you can. This will slow their plans, but to truly damage their efforts I will need more information. Bring me three more samples of their fecund flesh so that I can compare them with the other examples. Combine them in this Warded Chest.'

You receive a Warded Chest, another 4-slot GIANT container. Now you need to collect 3 Fecund Luggald Flesh from luggalds in the Crypt of Nadox. Combine the flesh in the chest to craft a Chest of Luggald Samples. Bring this back to Darwin.

Taxonomist Darwin Grisk says 'Alas, it all becomes clear! The Luggalds seek to spread their vile race. I had received word of a dark elf performing arcane rites on the shores of Toxxulia Forest. Now I know she must be attempting to summon other Luggalds. She is expecting an agent of the enemy. Talk with her. Then deal with her and any evil she creates.'

The dark elf in question is Assistant T`os, found at approximately +1885, +845. Make sure to bring a group with you.

You say, 'Hail, Assistant T`os'

Assistant T`os says 'Hmm. You aren't familiar. . .no matter. All is ready. Prepare yourself. Who knows what may happen. . .'

She summons a level 60 giant skeleton called Fleshless Servant, which casts harm touch, rampages, etc., but wasn't too hard to kill with 8 people levels 53-61. Loot a Corrupted Heart. Return to Darwin.

You say, 'Hail, Taxonomist Darwin Grisk'

Taxonomist Darwin Grisk says 'Thank the gods, you have returned safely! We had heard tell of your battle. Did you by chance find anything of informational value?'

Give him the Corrupted Heart.

Taxonomist Darwin Grisk says 'Well done. I can only imagine the evil you averted. Here. Take this a token of my personal thanks. May we all continue to benefit from your valor.'

Bards, beastlords, paladins, rangers, rogues, shadowknights, and warriors receive Bonebite.

Other classes (except for berserkers) receive the Signet of Grisk.

The skeleton drops a Corrupted Heart, not a Fleshless Heart

Part 1; Camping in Dulak
In the secret caves in Dulak harbor, the luggalds drop their flesh at an uncommon rate. Great experience for a 52-55 group, and the Soulstripper spawn is in the caves too, so there's a bonus to the camp by the octopus bridge. Also Chester Steelblade for the Paladin Light of Life quest.

Part 2; Camping in Nadox
Zone in through Gunthak, swim through the lava until you see a bridge. Swim up on the right side, and cross the bridge. There is a cave parallel to the bridge, thru which is the Luggalds that drop the fecund Flesh. Great experience for 55-58 and also the pure blood drops here for the CLR / SHM / DRU pure blood quest. Also the Luggald Heart for Wizard spell Frozen Harpoon.

Part 3; The fleshless servent
Level: 58 Dropped: Fleshless Heart
Class: SK Race: Undead
Combat: He spawns in the water and heads to the person that hailed the DEF. It does Harm Touch, Summons, and has alot of HP (guessing about 30k), and did not (have time?) to summon a pet. It ran at 9% life into the water.

2cp: Our party consisted of 58 Paladin, 58 Cleric, 58 Bard, 53 Bard, 43 Necro, and 53 Paladin. We had no problems with the mob, and even killed a guard afterwards, which was by far tougher than the skele. Note; Erudian guard regen is phenominal! Lol, about 500+ HP regen / tic! So make sure your Evil party members steer clear of Erudin entrance on the way there.. Lol

I located Assistant T'os at pos 2060 pos 1158 neg 47. She summoned a corrupted fleshfiend which conned blue to me at 59. It did summon. The fleshfiend dropped a Corrupted heart which I gave to Darwin for the Signet of Grisk. Thank you to those who helped me along the way.

I just completed this quest. The feccund flesh was the hardest drop to get in Nadox.

We did the fight against the giant skellie with a 65 paladin, 61 warrior, 63 druid, and my 65 shammy and had no problems. Even though the skellie is undead it does run so remember to snare it. I also recommend that all the group have Enduring Breath just in case you have to fight in the water. Overall, not a bad quest.
Taxonomist Darwin, the Giant skellie and more

OK just completed this a few hours ago and here's what I found. BTW, I am a 62 Shammy with OK gear (ie NOT majorly twinked with handme downs or such like) and have epic.

1. Fecund flesh. Got all mine in the following room in Nadox. From Gunthak gorge zone swim thru lava and get out at bridge. Cross bridge (heading west) and go down the tunnel into a large room. Turn left and head into smaller side room. As u look at the doorway go to the back right corner. It is a safe corner out of aggro range - room has only static spawns. Flesh is a slow drop rate still.

2. OK, u got you 2 types of flesh (to save travelling I got my 3 of each before going to Freeport) so head to West FP. Ignore everything else about frog's (Taxonomist Darwin Grisk) location that you'll read, here is where he is. I nneded to log my ranger to find him! His loc is +68 -606 for a start. Go into the Arcane Sciences area past the 2 female Erudites and, as you round the corner, you will be looking at a gnome Wizzie GM. If you look up on a ledge to your right you'll see Darwin. To get up there u can eith er jump up on lower ledge, onto torch on wall and onto ledge or, if u have lev, and run round corner u will be at the right height to walk straight onto ledge.

3. The Giant Skellie. After hailing Assistant T'Os the skellie came straight out of the water beside her and made a beeline for me (the hailer of T'Os). Fortunately, I had a friend with me - a 65 SK. If u are thinking of soloing it, please send me a tell first so I can count the milliseconds you will live unless you are seriously uber! The SK's HT took skellie to 62% so he estimated it had about 28k HPs. It hit for a max of a bit over 400, with the usual being higher 300's. It enraged once, and rampaged twice during the fight which lasted about 3-4 minutes. I healed SK with Tnargs a few times plus threw 3 dots on it (bane of Nife resisted once). In my excitement I forgot to slow!!! DOH! It seems like it doesn't want to go much onto land and would rather stay just at the waters edge or further out.

Good luck to all who do this - it IS worthwhile!
Where is Darwin??

Are you looking for "Taxonomist" infront of his name?
illusions?
# Dec 06 2003 at 1:06 AM Rating: Decent
I myself have done both quests with multiple chars, all being good races. all i needed for the neriak quest was a DE potion and i was able to get the required messages. my fried is a gnome necro and did the neriak one. she, like others, gets the go away message from the froggy in FP. does if there is a Froglok illusion, does it work on him or anything? we only tried a human form and that didnt work. nor did FD. they shouldnt make both quests available for good races and not for evil, thats not fair...
can u have both?

ok, i have done the Fleshweaver's Mark and am currently wearing it (yay me). what i am wondering is if i can also do the Signet quest and have both of them? that would be excellent if at all possible. at lvl 60, all the mobs for the drops of the flesh in Dulak r LB to green to me, i was solo'ing them like crazy the other day. so now i am gonna try to get all the drops again and then do the skellie once more. will update if it is possible.
RE: can u have both?
# Oct 20 2003 at 3:57 PM Rating: Decent
You cannot, I tried the second part for me today.
The first ring I received being a DE was the fleshweaver's
The frog in freeport was pulled to the zoneline, I killed the guard there and hailed him for the first bag, did the combine and turned in then he wouldn't talk to me.
2 rings
# Sep 12 2003 at 5:11 AM Rating: Decent
has anyone tried to combine the flesh in the Fleshwoven Bag and turn it into Taxonomist Darwin Grisk?

also i know my high elf wiz friend did both ring quests, so EQ is acting unfair again. what is the point of race illusion if it isnt supposed to help in these situations?
Bugged!!!
# Sep 07 2003 at 3:16 AM Rating: Decent
OK this sucks, I got all the flesh, fecund and regular, went and found frog guy, he wont talk to me! Then when I said "I have come to help" he talked and gave me bag. I did combine, handed in, got xp. Then when I said "What aid" for 2nd part he just said begone and wouldnt give be the box for fecund flesh. I tried again and all i can get from him is the first bag! Spent ages on this getting all 6 flesh, really sucks quest wont work. I just petitioned, I guess I'll see what happens. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

my take on this quest
# Aug 30 2003 at 12:50 AM Rating: Decent
my take on this quest,
the first part (luggald flesh) will drop in gunthak while you are waiting at the soulbinder camp
the second bit (fecund lugglad flesh) was easy to get with a high 50/low 60 group in nadox by pulling to the bridge from the middle room on the (eq atlas) map (labled the upper luggalds)

the turn ins were easy look at the posts on this page for info

the parti would of liked more info on was the skeleton fight at the end, a lvl 60 giant skeleton spawns in the water and atacks the person who hails assistant T'os.

skele hits for 250 ish to 400 ish i think it made short work of 2 61s a 57 and a 55 and an epic mage pet and a 54 air pet. on the second go around we drafted a 65 warrior and a ranger (what eats poo) for more dps and it went down much easier.

an additional note is that between fights the skeleton despawned, but all i did was hail assistant T'os again to respawn the skeleton

The monk can only use the signet, but is a combat class, so do which reward do they get?
RE: Monk's reward?
# Sep 02 2003 at 6:43 AM Rating: Decent
The monk gets the signet, because the melee weapon that is given out it a piercing weapon. I would rather see the monks get the signet than a weapon they cannot use. :)
The Final MOBs
# Aug 11 2003 at 2:25 PM Rating: Decent
Having just done this with both a 57 warrior and a 56 wizzie (one time FP quest, one time Neriak quest), there are 2 different (at least) final mobs. The one the warrior spawned was just a big melee . . . the one the wizzie spawned was an SK. Something to pay attention to for people doing this quest.
faction

might be worth trying an illusion, either a potion or get an enchanter to project an illusion on you. my druid looks great as a DE
MQ
# Jul 25 2003 at 5:54 PM Rating: Decent
Has anyone tried to MQ this? I would like to get the piercer for my rogue on another account but that account doesn't have LoY. Was wondering if handing in the heart would get the piercer? I did not see any faction hits when I did the luggald flesh turn-in

No faction from kill
# Jul 22 2003 at 4:03 AM Rating: Good
Did the quest through Neriak with Iksar monk (CT deity) for the one ring, then tried to do this one. Taxonomist conned indifferent but gave a 'get lost' message when hailed. Tried wolf-form, sneak, and Erudite and Human potions, didn't change con at all and still got the same message. So decided to wack him to get some info about his faction, if any. Tough bugger, conned even and took us a long time to kill him (group of 3 level 65s, warrior cleric ranger). Hits for 500s and some nukes were 700+ (seemed to be wiz spells). Turned out to have absolutely no faction message, just got some experience from it. Hopefully something will change, silly that he won't give the quest when you con indiff and he doesn't seem to be on any faction...

Even if he says begone you can still say "I have came to help" and he will talk.
np if bad fac with humans
# Jul 18 2003 at 3:02 PM Rating: Decent
there is a quest exactly the same if ur bad faction with humans in neriak commons so if ur looking for it lookup luggald flesh in quest items
