Requires amiable or greater faction with the Deepwater Knights.

Your Location is -1040.84, -395.93, 51.19

Weligon Steelherder kindly considers you -- what would you like your tombstone to say?

You need at least amiable faction of Deepwater Knights to get this quest.

You say, 'Hail, Weligon Steelherder'

Weligon Steelherder says 'Hail, ______! This is the Deepwater Temple. Here you shall find the wisdom and courage of Prexus, the Ocean Lord. I am glad to see you have an interest. Forgive me if I cut our conversation short, but I have many [Deepwater tasks] to complete.'

You say, 'What Deepwater tasks?'

Weligon Steelherder says 'We here at the Deepwater Temple must tend to the [Peacekeeper battlestaff] and the [Deepwater harpoon] as well as other duties such as [ocean protection]. There is always something we must do.'

You say, 'What is ocean protection?'

Weligon Steelherder says 'In the name of Prexus, we are sworn to protect all ocean creatures. We have heard reports of a shark carrying a deadly malady. We believe she is pregnant. If she delivers her young to the ocean, it will endanger all other creatures. We need to find a young paladin to [hunt the diseased shark].'

You say, 'I will hunt the diseased shark.'

Weligon Steelherder says 'Ah, yes! Take this bag with you. When you have collected the remains of the diseased shark and no fewer than three of her young in it, combine them in it and return it to me. Then, you shall get your reward.'

You receive an Empty Shark Bag, a 4-slot SMALL container. You need a Shark Skin looted from a diseased shark in Erudin, while Baby Shark Remains drop from a young shark.

Sharks spawn on either the right or left side of the dock. Sometimes they might be bugged and spawn in the wall instead.

Combine 1 x Shark Skin and 3 x Baby Shark Remains in the Bag.


You have fashioned the items together to create something new: Bag of Shark Remains.

Give this to Weligon.

Weligon Steelherder says 'Very good, my dear young follower of Prexus. You will learn that swimming is a strong skill among the Deepwater Knights. Keep this up and you may wield a Deepwater harpoon soon enough. For now, you shall wear this barnacle breastplate. It is strong enough to aid a young knight in his quest for perfection.'

Your faction standing with Deepwater Knights has been adjusted by 20.
Your faction standing with High Council of Erudin has been adjusted by 3.
Your faction standing with Heretics has been adjusted by -3.
You gain experience!!

No shark

I've been swimming around here for hours, killing all the place holder hammer head sharks, and the bandits, but have never once seen a diseased one spawn. Is this common? super long spawn time? or is this having issues? If the sharks are spawning in the walls, how can i fix this?

Thanks >_<

I am currently at amiable faction and the NPC still won't flag me for this quest so the faction must be higher than amiable for this one! I am currently checking all others for Deepwater Knights faction and will post on their pages if I find anything different!

I couldn't get the (a young shark) to spawn after several kills of the diseased shark. I found a young shark had spawned in the wall and no further babies would spawn until it was killed.

Sharks spawn on either the right or left side of the dock. Make sure to check both sides.

In actuality - the normal shark skin does not work. You need teh shark skin off the diseased shark which is special. Your item list I think it correct, the text implies a normal one will work.

As Erudite Paladin, but of Quellious, I still have enough faction to do Pearls of Odus quest. If Weligon will give you the bag to gather pearls in, you can do that quest as an entry into the other Deepwater knight quests. While you're out gathering pearls, you can also kill the diseased shark and the swimming smugglers to get their coins to give to one of the other Deepwater Knights guildmasters.

do the molar
# Jun 01 2002 at 1:49 AM Rating: Default
wait i found out there is a molor quest, if yo ugo to the back of the paladin guild there is a guy tiam or somthing forgot starts with a t and if you talk to him he will tell you to do a molar quest, pretty sure you get faction and money for it then youcan do the barnicle quest, got to kill kabolds and get there molars from warren area.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 01 2002 at 12:44 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) dont do the kabold molar quest it will lower your faction that other guy was trying to bs you. i read up on it.
RE: molars
# Nov 22 2002 at 10:08 AM Rating: Default
There are two kobald molar quests, one for good, the other for evil. If you're trying to gain faction with the Deepwater Knights, do the turn-in in Erudin. If you want better Heretic faction, do the turn-in in Paineel.

i tried quest a couple times first with my rng, faction was too low to get the bag, then with my pally but he worships quellious so i couldnt get the bag with him either. then i made a prexus pally and succesfully got the bag, transfered to my quel pally got items combined then when i turned them in his faction, even though amiable, was still not high enough. got items and bag again handed them in with the prex pally and got the bp. did it twice tonite, good bp for a rather simple quest.

RE: For it to work
# Oct 31 2002 at 7:37 AM Rating: Decent
if you kill Elial Brook your faction with the Deepwater Knights go up. The other part of the Heritic battle (turning in the bones to the Mage's guild) only raises faction with the mages and the High Council (if you do not mind being in bad with the Heretics, sinc both parts of the quest lower your faction with them. Killing hereitic prophets (they were green and light blue to my 9th lvl wizzy) will also give the same faction as killing Elial.
One final word of warning about Elial: if you are looking to solo him, wait until you are at least 9th lvl unless you have a great armror class and magic restistance. He is 7th lvl, but can cast a nasty fear spell and he has a pet that can be disruptive if you are trying to cast a spell. See his entry in the bestiary for more info.

I tried this quest to get a nifty armour thing for my pally, but i couldn't get it to work.

ok, all u need to do is roll a NEW paladin with ocean god religion (i forget which one). Log off your newbie near the dock. Have your higher level character pull the baby sharks and diseased sharks near the dock, kill them there. Log onto your newbie, loot the bodies, turn in the stuff. The bags are no drop, but the breastplate is tradeable. I've done this quest like 8 or 9 times this way, dont even need to build faction.

When you're high enough in levels to kill the shark placeholder and diseased shark, the young sharks are green. They don't drop the necessary skins due to the trivial loot code on the Firionia Vie server. Pretty lame =/
At level 13 the diseased shark was blue to me and sharks ranged from white to red.
looks cool

Been trying to do this lately. I am a 29 druid but want this for my level 2 SK (okay, so techincally i'm not even sure he can use it, but i'm hoping :)

I have amiable faction with the deepwater knights (killed hyalken in lava ALOT, and rolled the warrens left and right back when stonebrunt didn't exist), I can chat with Wegion and ask him about the stuff. get to the part where he mentions the diseased shark...

I say i'll hunt it yada yada...

THEN he tells me they can't trust me.

?

Is this quest not allowed to be done by folks beyond a certain level?

I was helping a cleric with the Midnight Sea Mail Sleeves quest and I decided to kill whatever was swimming in the harboor while I waited for the boat. Jumped in and right in front of me is the diseased shark. Killed him straight off and proceeded to kill the baby sharks. I now have all of the quest components and a nicked coin from the smuggler that spawned right after the sharks died. I was wondering how high does faction have to be to get the breastplate?

Killed Elial Brook 20 times to get the faction up. A few levels back I killed cats on the island in Eruds Crossing and that hurts faction. Cool looking BP and thats about it. Time to sell in EC tunnel.

place holder
# Jun 19 2001 at 10:24 AM Rating: Default
the place holder is the bigshark that looks like a hammerhead. kill him swim out to the end of the dock turn left and there he is the diseased shark.
the hammer head conned red to me, still killed him
with a druid. entered the water and cast swarm exit med till the swarm is done repeat as nessary
piece of cake.
RE: place holder
# Aug 10 2001 at 12:15 AM Rating: Decent
Yeah I attempted to kill the hammerhead looking shark and he was almost gone until a guard healed him to full health. What's with that? Pissed me off. Of course what added to my anger was when the guard came after me and gave me some floggings. Anyone know why he would heal the shark?
no more for low lvs
# Jun 10 2001 at 3:54 PM Rating: Default
before april patch there was only one big shark (red to 12 lv cleric, blue, white, yellow to my lv16), but now there are 3 sharks at once. That means one placeholder of diseased shark, and two extra big ones, and these two are always there, sometimes red to me at lv16. And their path is now random, so they swimm around, also in direction to sand sharks, and they almost dont stay on one place, so now its almost unpossible to make this quest, may be at higher levels or with group.
Deepwater Knights can solo the Shark at 9th
# May 18 2001 at 9:27 AM Rating: Default
All you Erudite Paladins can do this quest at level 9, once you get your spells. The diseased shark conned yellow to me at 9th. Just make sure you have your lay on hands ability available because you will need to use it during this fight. Also make sure you have rudimentary archery skills (often there are bows and arrows available at the merchants - sold by people who looted them from the Warrens).

The best way to fight it is to go down the stairs to the rocky ledge by the water. Enter the water so you are just underwater. There are a few places to stand/swim on the ledge. Then shot the DISEASED shark with your bow and bring it to you. You can fight on the ledge, its quick and easy to surface and get air and then go back to the fight. Often the shark will knock you back halfway out of the water which is great because you can keep slashing at him while you are getting air.

Use flash of light toward the end of the battle to blind the diseased shark and hopefully prevent him from swimming away too fast. You may have to jump off the ledge and pursue him a little ways. Once you kill him loot him and swim back to the ledge.

Once he is dead the baby sharks spawn. I managed to kill two with the same tactics then the big red hammerhead shark showed up. Thats why you are on the ledge, so you can get out of the water FAST. :) I managed to pull the shark over too one side of the ledge and took only a little damage. He sits where you pull him so I went to the other side of the ledge, jumped in the water, pulled the last baby shark with my bow, and then killed it and went and got my shield!

Its cool looking, but more of a light blue with black shoulder stripes.
Update on faction
# May 16 2001 at 5:44 PM Rating: Default
As i said below i will report on the faction. As of may 15, 2001 the faction needed for my human rng was amiable but very close to kindly. I dont know whether this is because of the addition of regard as ally or not but this is what it took for me to get from dubious to amiamble. Here it is Brook 23 times Pearls 5 times, and the young sharks 8 times. Well hoped that help i love my breastplate.
