After the hoppers is the glowing muck digger in Paludal. The other bugs drop muck covered hearts, this one is supposed to drop a glowing heart.
I have read that you kill muck diggers to make it spawn. However, I found one consistently today at n2962 n888, the south entrance to the southeasternmost cavern in the zone. He conned white to my 14 Beastlord, and he always had a dk blue grime tunneler right beside him. I could see at least one more glowing muck digger beyond the one at the door.
I found soloing muck diggers quite easy, which in hindsight made me overconfident. I made four attempts solo on glowbug, clearing all diggers from my path and casting flash of light on either glowbug or grime tunneler from up the hill in the tunnel. The non-blinded one would of course immediately aggro on me. The blinded one would either run up the tunnel and find me or run into cavern, causing a digger, grime tunneler or another glowbug to aggro on me. Diggers would often pop where I had cleared them, and even the otherwise quiet mud burrowers would join the party. I was lucky if I only ended up with only 4 mobs on me and the warder, always at least two that were stronger than the diggers I found so easy. I died twice.
That was this morning, and I am about to go at it again as soon as I finish this post (4/18 2200 CDT). Hopefully, I will have better luck tonight finding a group......

Khati Sha Recruit (Beastlord #2)

This is the Vah Shir Beastlord quest series. You must first do the citizenship quest.
Part 1 - Handwraps Animist Poren needs to see your Acrylia Slate. Animist Poren says "I have much for you to do Animist Poren says "Take this stitching pack and combine two shadeling silks from the xakra worms. Combine two of the threads to make a bandage. Take this pattern and sew together three of the bandages. With considerable practice this will produce the handwraps that will be a foundation for your first sacred weapon. When you have created them retuen to me the scrap material. He then gives you a Khati Sha Handwrap Pattern and a Stitching Pack. To make the handwraps: (1) Combine two shadeling silks in the Stitching Pack to make a Shade Silk Thread. Silks are found on the Xakla Larvae in the pit (Shar Vahl) and on the Xakla Silkworms in Shadeweaver's Thicket. (2) Combine 2 Shade Silk Threads in the Stitching Pack to make a Shade Silk Bandage. (3) Combine 3 Shade Silk Bandages and the Khati Sha Handwrap Pattern to make Khati Sha Handwraps. Successfully making the Handwraps (which is possible with a Tailoring skill of 4 - though unlikely!) also generates a Silk Scrap. Return the scrap to Animist Poren for part 2 of the quest Part 2 - Claws Upon giving Animist Poren the Shade Silk Scraps: Animist Poren says, 'That took quite some time considering the simplicity of the task. Please _______, work on becoming more efficient. We have much to do and time is of the essence. In your stitching pack, combine the handwraps, two young hopperclaws and forged fasteners. Return to me with the resulting claws and your [initiate's cloak.]' You gain experience! You say, 'What initiate's cloak?' Animist Poren says, 'You should have received your initiate's cloak if you presented your acrylia slate and notarized application to Elder Animist Sahdi. You can give those two items to him if you have not already and receive your cloak.' You say, 'What are forged fasteners?' Animist Poren says, 'Perhaps one of our smiths can assist you with the forged fasteners. I'd check the armory.' Ask Kagazz about "Forged Fasteners". He is behind the armoury by the forge at (/loc 254, -182, -189). You say, 'Can you make forged fasteners?' Kagazz squints as he reads your lips, 'Fasteners you say? Show me your slate and I'll make you a deal. Give him your Acrylia Slate of Sharl Vahl. He returns it and says: Kagazz says, 'My wife is making some jewelry. Not the sparkly stuff, mind you. She is nearly blind so appearance means little to her. She is intent on making jewelry with a more, uhh, natural feel. Currently she's constructing a special scorpion leg necklace, and is in need of more scorpion legs. I can't leave the shop so I need your help. Fill this box with scorpion legs and I'll pay you with metal fasteners that any merchant will gladly buy.' Collect four NO TRADE "Scorpion Leg" or four "Scorpion Legs" (these latter are marked as QUEST ITEM and are stackable). Either will work but they cannot be mixed. Combine these in the box Kagazz gave you to receive Box of Scorpion Legs. Return this to him to receive one (1) Forged Fasteners. Also note that the fasteners are NO TRADE so any merchant will not, in fact, gladly buy them as he claimed. Upon Turn in: Kagazz says, 'Ahh, _______! I thank you, my wife will be most grateful. Here are the fasteners I promised you. You know ______, there was a time that young, would-be smiths would seek my approval so that they could study the ways of the forge under my tutelage. That was back when I was Master Smith, before I named Barkhem my successor.' You gain experience! Combine: 1x Forged Fastners, 2x Young Hopperclaw, 1x Khati Sha Handwraps, In the Stitching Pack On successful combine, you receive Primary Silk Khati Sha Claw and Secondary Silk Khati Sha Claw. NOTE: the Handwraps are lost in the combine and are not returned in a later stage of the quest. Return both Silk Khati Sha Claws AND your Initiate's Cloak of Shar Vahl to Animist Poren. Animist Poren is at 275, 47, -258. Enter the castle (west central district), descend the stairs, and turn right. Walk through the arch and turn right again. Descend the stairs at the end of the hallway. Enter the door and take the door on your left. Animist Poren is in this room. Upon Turn In: Animist Poren says "Well, you're off to a slow start, but it is a start. You will do well to accomplish your tasks in a more timely fashion. You have chosen a path full of trials, You gain experience! You recieve: Reinforced Primary/Secondary Claws as well as the Cloak of The Khati Sha Recruit and the Seal of Animist Poren Animist Poren shouts " Friends, I have news to share! It has taken longer than it should, but at last | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It was an easy solo on glowbug and grime tunneler once I killed enough muck diggers to make 15 and get my spells. 15th level Beastlord warders ROCK!
