Seems he decided to go on vacation for a few hours and likes being a fish in his spare time.

Exotic Drinks
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Note: Unless you're an enchanter with the benefit of faction spells and illusions, this quest may be a bit time consuming.
Clurg, the Ogre bartender in Ogguk, has lost his bartender's compendium and wants it back badly. It is currently held by Bartender Gregor, in the Seafarer's Roost in East Freeport. Fortunately, Gregor has a lust for exotic drinks, and lacks only the ingredients to make his dream concoctions. He will give you the compendium for those ingredients. You say, 'Hail, Gregor Nasin' Gregor Nasin says, 'Sit down and name your poison! I know we are lacking in originality, but I intend to create some [exotic drinks].' You say, 'What exotic drinks?' Gregor Nasin says, 'Interested in exotic drinks, are we? I am attempting to create some of these drinks I read about in this book I found. It was called the [Barkeep's Compendium]. I will first need to get my hands on a few [exotic ingredients].' You say, 'What Barkeep's Compendium?' Gregor Nasin says, 'I found the book amongst some garbage littering the ground in Freeport East. It appears to have been created by an ogre named [Clurg]. I am sure he wants it returned, but I will never part with it. That is... unless I get a few [exotic ingredients] I need to experiment with.' You say, 'Who is Clurg?' Gregor Nasin says, 'I do not know. Ask an ogre. Maybe they have heard of him.' You say, 'What exotic ingredients?' Gregor Nasin says, 'I desire a [kiola nut], [Erud's Tonic], [honey jum] and a [Koalindl fish]. If I could get those, I would no longer need to hold on to the [Barkeep's Compendium]. Whoever returned the ingredients to me could have it!' Gregor wants you to get him the following items: - Kiola Nut (purchased on the island of Erollisi in the Ocean of Tears for 2 gold pieces) - Erud's Tonic (NO TRADE item that results from a quick quest; see the link to the left) - Honey Jum from Rivervale (droppable item that results from the Honey Jum quest; see the link to the left) - Koalindl Fish from the lake in the Temple of Life in Qeynos (NO TRADE item). You can get this fish one of a few ways: You can do the Regurgatonic quest in Ak'Anon and give the tonic to Frostbite the dog in West Karana (who coughs up a fish). You can also kill Frostbite (at the expense of your Halas faction). Or you can kill koalindl fish below the Temple of Life in Qeynos (major faction hits with the Priests of Life). Give these items to Bartender Gregor in East Freeport. It's suggested you do the turn-ins one at a time to prevent it from getting bugged. You'll receive some platinum and the Bartender's Compendium (NO TRADE). Hand in all four ingredients -- the nut, the NO-TRADE version of the tonic, the honey jum, and the fish. Gregor Nasin says, 'Now I have every ingredient mentioned in the Barkeep Compendium. Here. You take it. <..click!..> Whoops! I just closed it. It's magically sealed. I never closed it before. It's useless to you. I have no need for it any longer. Maybe you can return it to [Clurg] for some type of reward.' Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground has been adjusted by 5. Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk has been adjusted by 5. Your faction standing with Carson McCabe has been adjusted by 1. Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards has been adjusted by 1. Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia has been adjusted by 1. Take the Compendium to Clurg. If you're KOS in Oggok, you'll need to do faction work beforehand. Ogre or Dark Elf illusions coupled with a faction spell will also work, provided your faction isn't too low. Upon doing the turn-in, Clurg gives you the Stein of Moggok. [Thu Feb 11 16:01:35 2016] Clurg says 'Ahhh! My Barkeep Compendium has been returned! I am in your debt. I do not like to be in any man's debt. Let me offer you this as payment for your great service. Obtaining my book could not have been a simple task.' Your faction standing with Clurg has been adjusted by 50. Your faction standing with Kazon Stormhammer has been adjusted by -50. Your faction standing with Green Blood Knights has been adjusted by 50. Your faction standing with Craknek Warriors has been adjusted by 50. Your faction standing with Oggok Guards has been adjusted by 50. For Dark Elves, check out The Dark Elf's Guide to Obtaining the Stein of Mogguk. Running Through the Quest... You say, 'Hail, Clurg' Clurg says 'Hello, friend. Have a drink. I have some [unique drinks]. Try one. And remember. You get rowdy, the [Bouncers] crush you.' You say, 'What unique drinks?' Clurg says 'I have been all over Norrath and even served with some very great [barkeeps in Freeport]. I am the creator of both [Flaming Clurg] and Ogre Swill.' You say, 'What barkeeps in Freeport?' Clurg says 'Yes. I have journeyed to many taverns, but it was in Freeport that I acquired most of my art. I compiled all my drink recipes in a [special book].' You say, 'What Flaming Clurg?' Clurg says 'The Flaming Clurg was my greatest creation. It brought me great respect in Oggok. Unfortunately, I have heard tales of an [imposter drink].' He won't say any more unless your faction is high enough. You say, 'What special book?' Clurg says 'Find ways to help all in Oggok. Then we will have conversation.' You say, 'What imposter drink?' Clurg says 'Find ways to help all in Oggok. Then we will have conversation.' (Further dialogues needed.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well... I have all the indgredients, but A) I'm a wizard, and B) it may be hard to find a trustworthy Enchanter to help me out. So how do I raise faction with Ogres? Or am I stuck with having the indgredients but no Stein?

make up an oger mule and give it the items or is this not possible now? If it is, he can get your stein for you

Err...I've heard that sometimes Rodcet Nife (yes, the EQ God Rodcet Nife) takes the form of the Koalindl Fish and swims around in the pool. This came up in a discussion on another board about which gods have appeared in the game.

I just got my fish yesterday and the reg. tonic worked when he conned dubious. So you dont need indifferent faction with him.

I dont know if this is a permanent change. On the Quellious server the fish now cons red to me at lvl 12. I have also seen people talking about being hit for 450+ points of damage by the fish.

Best way to get some PP is to do this quest 4 or 5 times. Very easy after the first or 2nd time.

Another way to get this fish is to camp right next to the pool and then create a warrior that starts in queynos. Kill the fish with him (make sure it drops a corpse), log in with your other character, and then loot the fish. You do run the risk of someone else taking the fish but this works really well.

I have safely grouped with 1st - 3rd lvl newbies and had them kill the fish for me while I was in their group. Make sure that while they are fighting the fish you do not cast any spells to aid them in any way. You will not receive a faction hit, and can loot the fish instantly. No one can steal your loot. I buff the newbies up quite a bit, then wait for them to kill the fish and loot it. Also if you cast a spell to improve your faction with Ernac (or whatever his name is) and give him a fish, it drasitically raises your faction in Qeynos.

Just completed this quest and here are a few tips. If you use the Regurgitonic on Frostbite you need an indifferent faction for this to work. Dubious didnt work and I didnt try apprehensive. Same thing with the zoo keeper must be indifferent. 3 hours with no mistakes sounds about right.
