This task begins with Togswell Mophintok in Goru`kar Mesa. He is located in the back of the ooze caves. At the end of the previous task, you saw:

Oh well there it is! The sample of Drudgeweed I have been seeking. My thanks... oh take this. Do you want to help [more]?

You say, 'Hail, Togswell Mophintok'

Togswell Mophintok says 'What? Are you deaf or do you just not listen. I asked if you want to help [more]!

You say, 'More.'

Togswell Mophintok says 'I have come to the conclusion that substituting the opramatter diffuser coupled with the glowing uranium deviator for a chromium-coiled springobober covered in... [saliva] just may be the fix I'm looking for!'

You say, 'Saliva?'

Togswell Mophintok says 'A crazy notion? Nonsense! The saliva should serve as an acidic lubricant as well as a conductor! Hah! 'You old tub of parts! Where will I find that kind of saliva' I said to myself. I then recalled an old beast in the Vergalid Mines that just may posess the slimey goop we need! Bleep oop-oop-o. [Unearthed Bonesnapper Beast] is its name. Yep!'

You say, 'Unearthed Bonesnapper Beast?'

Togswell Mophintok says 'An old friend Pinclog Ratchetclank told me about the creature some time ago. It has only been spotted a few times, and the only known data on the creature was apparently in the process of being taken when the writing on the transcript suddenly... stopped. This could be crazy, but it seems as if the last person to spot the beast was, well, [eaten].'

You say, 'Eaten?'

Togswell Mophintok says 'Yes, eaten! It didn't make sense at first, but after thinking it over it made perfect sense. The creature must be blind. I have come up with this hardened metal-alloy material that emits a distinct odor that resembles something similar to the food the creature may normally feast on. With any luck, you will be able to plant it near the creature and he will try to eat it, giving me the saliva sample that I need! That is... if the creature has half a brain and doesn't try to swallow it. Be sure to stay out of sight, or you may wind up as the main course.'

You have been assigned the task 'Bile From Below'.

You receive Hardened Metal Alloy.



Plant the hardened metal-alloy 0/1 (Vergalid Mines)

Head to the flooded caves area of the Vergalid Mines. There is a strip of land between the first and second cave area. The task will auto-update when you have the item on your cursor and are in the right /loc (area of -455, -1000, -352).

Upon update, "Unearthed Bonesnapper Beast" spawns.

Move to safety and watch 0/1 (Vergalid Mines)

Unearthed Bonesnapper Beast spawns deeper in the caves and paths out to the previous spot.

Check for the hardened metal-alloy 0/1 (Vergalid Mines)

You need not do anything besides wait. The turtle paths back down to -475, -1495, -362, to a pool full of caimans.

Loot 1 Saliva Covered Hardened Metal-Alloy 0/1 (Vergalid Mines)

Kill the beast and loot the item from its corpse.

Deliver 1 Saliva Covered Hardened Metal-Alloy to Togswell Mophintok 0/1 (Goru`kar Mesa)

Upon turn-in:

You have returned the saliva coated hardened metal-alloy to Togswell.

Togswell no longer responds to hails.

I finally got my quest to undate today for the plant the hardened metal-alloy. Once you do get the update, do not move far, just stay close by to the place you got the update because you will need that spot once more.

Next step you move to safety and watch. the beast will walk by and then stop near the area you got the update for placing the metal. Once that you that update it wants you to check for the hardened metal alloy. You now need to run over the same spot you did previously to get the update for the first step. Once you get that update the beast becomes targetable and you can kill it. If you just wait like the quest instructions above suggest, the beast will despawn.
Cannot get an update

Using the coords provided here, I cannot get the task update. I have tried putting the hardened metal-alloy on the ground, in a top level inventory slot, and on my cursor. I've logged, zoned, and dropped and re-aquired the quest. None of these things have worked.
Worked after patch

I was bugged as well and petitioned it. Went back down after the patch on 7/18/2012 and task updated at the coordinates in this thread. Either something was fixed or whatever was bugged got reset after the patch.
Task is Bugged

Task will auto update when you have item on cursor and are in the right /loc (area of -454.08, -997.96, -352.54),

Unearthed Bonesnapper Beast (a MOB I did not find in the beastiary btw) will spawn. Just hang out and he will soon aggro you -- kill him. Loot the Saliva Covered Hardened Metal-Alloy.

Steps are as posted by Yalum.

Plant the hardened metal-alloy

Task updates at -454.08, -997.96, -352.54 down in the flooded caves in Vergalid.

Move to safety and watch

Unearthed Bonesnapper Beast spawns deeper in the caves and paths out to the previous spot.

Check for the hardened metal-alloy

Don't believe you have to anything for this step but wait. The turtle paths back down to -472.82, -1496.53, -362.63, to a pool full of caimans.

Loot 1 Saliva Covered Hardened Metal-Alloy

He swallowed your alloy! You're going to have to cut it out of him. Mezzable, corpse camps when pulled, summoned. Not significantly harder than normal zone mobs. Dropped Saliva Covered Hardened Metal-Alloy and normal trash drops for a turtle.

Deliver 1 Saliva Covered Hardened Metal-Alloy to Togswell Mophintok

[Sat Jan 03 04:16:36 2009] You have returned the saliva coated hardened metal-alloy to Togswell.
[Sat Jan 03 04:16:36 2009] You gain experience!!

Task completed. No other rewards, Togswell no longer responds to hails.

[Thu Dec 04 16:19:46 2008] You say, 'Hail, Togswell Mophintok'
[Thu Dec 04 16:19:46 2008] Togswell Mophintok says 'Togswell Mophintok? Who said that! Oh hello! Feast, feast, feast, fea.. oops sorry, Oh, hello! Pesky.. [pesky fellows].'
[Thu Dec 04 16:19:51 2008] You say, 'pesky fellows'
[Thu Dec 04 16:19:51 2008] Togswell Mophintok says 'The formula is nearly completed! If my calculations are correct, I just need a small sample of [drudgeweed] from within the [Vergalid Mines]! It used to grow down there ages ago...'
[Thu Dec 04 16:19:55 2008] You say, 'vergalid mines'
[Thu Dec 04 16:19:56 2008] Togswell Mophintok says 'Vergalid Mines? Where are the mines? They could not be northeast. No. No. Must be northeast. No No. Must be.'
