(You must have completed the initial newbie starting quest to do this quest, plus the quests to become an Initiate.)

You say, 'Hail, High Seer Flogk'

High Seer Flogk seemingly ignores Narom, while reveling in the miracle of Marr's, blessing then turns to listen.

High Seer Flogk says 'Greetings there, young initiate! It is good that you have come to see me again. I have been following your progress through the tasks that you have been sent on, and I must say, you make a very promising young soldier. It is nearing the time that you venture out into the world on your own, for purposes of exploration, and to serve the Guktan Army. As this time grows near, it also is time to begin your induction as a young soldier. One of the last remaning tasks you must complete is to venture out into the swamp, as well as our home of old, and retrieve for me several items that I require. Are you [ready for this task]?

You say, 'I am ready for this task'

High Seer Flogk seems to look into the distance, but suddenly blinks as Narom unapologetically interrupts this silent meditation.

High Seer Flogk says 'I thought you might be, in fact, I had hoped so. This task that I have for you will gather the components that I require to create a soulstone for you. The soulstone is one of our means of identification, and is actually infused with your aura during the creation process. The soulstone is unique to you, and will be used throughout your training. Now, enough chatter, the components I requre are a polished waterstone, sparkling dust, and a vial of swampwater. When you have located these items, give them to me, and I will combine them to make the stone, and upon successful creation, I will give you further instructions.

Turn in the polished waterstone, sparkling dust, and a vial of swampwater you receive the soulstone. Take the soulstone and your Initiates Brooch and combine in an oven and get back the Guktan Initiates Soulstone.

The Innothule swamp bag is now obtainable on Live servers as of the 23rd patch.

Interestingly the Soulstone quest doesnt appear to progress, but loops back, maybe further quests will be added to progress this item later ala the iksar Cudgels.
0,0 is not the bag

The bags that have been at loc 0,0 in the swamp and in S. Ro have been there since I started the game over 3 years ago. They are in no way related to this quest. This is why your /bug reports have not been answered, we are all barking up the wrong tree
Still no good.

4-22-03. I was able to get the waterstone in Guk, and the sand in S. Ro. I found the vial of swamp water over at 0,0 in Innothule Swamp, but suprise surprise I couldn't freaking pick it up. I sent a bug report and a petition, they "cleared" my petition without even talking to me. How nice.
sparkling powder

Nameless Shamans, the dust has been found and picked up. Thanks to Pardot on Bristlebane, the loc is correct it is by Rathmana Allin tent in South Ro and is sitting right by the edge of the rocks all the way to the back. The loc is "POS 1298, POS 1403"

I also found the dust today as listed below. I also noticed that the mystery bag that once was located at 0.0 ,0.0 in SR was now missing. The bag in the swamp is still in place, and still non-clickable. maybe when it disappears, that will be a hint to scour the swamp, again!
Dust on Mith Marr

Found the Dust on the Mith Marr server as well. Still no sign of the bag in Inny Swamp, except for the non-clickable on at 0,0. *sigh*

I found the Pouch of Sparkling Dust tonight on Bristlebane Server. It is located behind Ortallius who stands guard in front of Rathmana Allin tent in South Ro and is sitting right by the edge of the rocks all the way to the back. The loc is "POS 1298, POS 1403"

Well tis true, still broken. I too sent a bug note. In hopes they would listen. Guess not to important. Looking forward to getting it. Good luck to all.
Still b0rken after patch...
# Apr 08 2003 at 7:08 PM Rating: Decent
Even after the 4/8/03 patch, the bags still can't be clicked... Grr...
Still broken as of April 8th
# Apr 08 2003 at 4:01 PM Rating: Decent
I took my level 6 Froglock to the Vial of water bag and you still couldn't pick it up or click on it. So I put in a /bug report for it.

Hopefully we can get them to fix it some time. : )
This is kinda sad
# Apr 05 2003 at 2:08 AM Rating: Decent
Its sad when you are gone from the game for 2 weeks come back and find this quest still not working, makes me wonder if this quest will ever work on the live servers /sigh
Still broken
# Apr 03 2003 at 10:43 PM Rating: Decent
As of today April 3, the item in the swamp and the item in S Ro are still non collectable
Broken Still
# Mar 26 2003 at 3:24 PM Rating: Decent
I have tried this three times as of today
(march 26) and still it is not working. The waterstone is still gtg in guk but innothule swamp and sro are still bugged.
Still broken...
# Mar 24 2003 at 3:57 AM Rating: Decent
Itried to get the bags again today. Still can't target them. Have done every quest in Gukta and Inno Swamp except Surgal the fist. I have 6 char and reported the bug on each of my char. Hope this will make them fix this a little faster, but doubt it. Can't wait to get the soulstone and boost my little froggy's stats.

Not working... again...
# Mar 21 2003 at 2:29 PM Rating: Decent
Like others on non-Test server (I play on Zeb), I can't pick up the Innothule or SRo spawns. Just to test it, I did all the armor quests (I'm Frog Cleric), plus I have the Initiate's Brooch, Earring AND the Trainer's Bauble on me. Still no go.

Logged into Test and sure enough, the items don't spawn at the same spot.

Do you have the coordinates that the two items are SUPPOSED to drop at in Innothule Swamp and SRO? I couldn't see any in this thread...
Still not working
# Mar 21 2003 at 4:04 AM Rating: Decent
Still not Working as of 21st March (innothule and Sro Items, got my Polished Waterstone no problem..)
HELP!!!
# Mar 19 2003 at 8:51 PM Rating: Decent
Where do you get a polished waterstone
RE: HELP!!!
# Mar 20 2003 at 12:40 AM Rating: Excellent
Polished Waterstone is in Guk. It's in the water where you need to walk on the planks.
Bugged
# Mar 15 2003 at 2:31 PM Rating: Decent
Anyone who is having problems with getting the two items in innothule and South Ro please report the bug by doing /bug in game. Hopefully if they have a ton of people report it they will work on it faster. So anyone reading this please report it. remember sparkling dust is in SRo at 0,0 and Swamp Water is in Inno at 0,0. Thanx

Soulstone Vs. Initiate Shield
# Mar 14 2003 at 7:37 AM Rating: Decent
Think about this...the soulstone is AC5, Str+3, Int+4, Wis+4, HP+10, Mana+10, and Sv Magic +3. Compare that with the Guktan Initiate Shield(AC5 CHA+3 Wis+3 HP+5 Mana+5 Sv Magic+3. It seems that initially the soulstone is a better choice compared to the shield.

I know I might be stating the obvious, but people have been complaining about the soulstone being a secondary slot item. For the level and being an untwinked personage, the soulstone sounds pretty good to me.

# Mar 14 2003 at 5:04 PM Rating: Decent
True if you are a Cleric, Pally, Warrior, Shaman....ok well anyone other than us poor wizzys =P

As for us tho there isnt an option out of the 2 hehe. Anyway this will probablly be part of another advancement quest in which it may end up being better than shields, but for now who knows ;p

All I know is i want this quest to be fixed so my wizzy can get hers :)
RE: Soulstone Vs. Initiate Shield
# Apr 28 2003 at 4:24 AM Rating: Decent
I thought the shield was only for shaman. For shaman and cleric this would be better. But paladins can't bash with a rock. They need a shield. The stone is an upgrade to my Round Shield, but I'd take the Initiate Shield, if I could get 1.

If I'm wrong about the shield being only for shaman, please let me know. Just who to talk to would be great.

Still not fixed

Just had a recent patch both bags at 0,0 are still bugged(can't target them). Only thing available at this time is the water stone in Guk.
RE: Still not fixed
# Mar 13 2003 at 4:50 PM Rating: Decent
Just a thought or two...
1) Do you have to have the broch (sp) and the (in the warrior's case) initiates earring on you when you try to pick it up? (I can't see why, as long as you completed the two quests 1st,but no harm in asking)
and...
2) Is there something we're missing? (Do we need to complete the entire newbie armor quest?.. etc)

Anyone have ideas?

Anyone?

I had both the Initiate's Broach and Earring on my person and it still wouldn't let me pick the items up.

I did not do any of the items for the newb armor quest though (a twink).

1. No because I didn't have the brooch or earring on me when I got the waterstone.

2. I don't think you have to do the newb armor to get the quest from high seeker, just be a certain level.
Not live yet
# Mar 09 2003 at 8:39 AM Rating: Decent
The two bags that can't be picked up at 0,0 are still there so I don't believe this has been corrected yet on non-test servers. :-(
Sparkling Dust

Just camped behind Rathmana Allin's tent in S Ro for 11 hours straight ... no sign of the spawn. Petitioned and was told that the quest was live but submitted a /bug report anyway. This on the Torvonnilous server. Polished Waterstone is in Upper Guk (picked that up first), don't know about the Vial of Swampwater yet but I'm pretty sure it's live.

Just finished this quest. Turn in the polished waterstone, sparkling dust, and a vial of swampwater you receive the soulstone.
Take the soulstone and your Initiates Brooch and combine in a over and get back.
Guktan Initiates Soulstone
Ac 5, Wis 4, Int 4, Hp 10, Mana 10, Sv Magic 3
War,Clr,Pal,Shm,Wiz
Frog only
Secondary slot

The swampwater I found in the swamp near Guk at loc n92, n245
The dust I found in S Ro in the NW corner behind the tent
The waterstone found in Guk at the circle walkway in the middle.

The ground spawns seem to be on a 3.5 hour spawn time.

BTW I play on Test Server. Don't know if it is active on live servers or not

Secondary slot??? Uhh has anyone at Sony realized what an incredibly bad idea that is?? How can you carry a shield or dual wield with that in your secondary slot?? What about all the better items that casters can carry in that slot to improve INT, WIS mana etc?? Putting this in a neck,ear or whatever slot would be a lot better rather than the secondary melee slot. I know the paladin initiate symbol is a brooch that has the same graphic as a silver amulet, so I assumed that the end product of the quests would fit in the neck slot.

Where did you get a brooch? The Warriors get a Earring. I was given the quest today so I can't see it staying a Secondary item for all classes. That would totally suck for a War, ie ME. Hmm.. now that I think about it, for it not to be a secondary item like posted above there would have to be more than one version of the soulstone. It just doesn't make sense. And how are Wars supposed to complete this quest if we don't have a brooch but an earring instead?

I really hate to rain on your parade but everybody got a brooch. It's the first piece you get when you hail your guild leader to start the newb quest. Sounds to me like you no longer have it. Sorry.
RE: The Soulstone
# Mar 12 2003 at 3:51 PM Rating: Decent
You can get another brooch by hailing the guild trainer again. He will give you another brooch and a stern ticking off for losing the last one. Now if only this would work for the traitor's tongue quest....

Gee.. now if only they made it a CHARM.. *hint, hint*

Who cares if the stats stay the same, at least we could all use it, then! :D
RE: The Soulstone

Yeah...where the heck are all the Charms?? Allakhazam's only lists about a dozen and they're ALL NO-DROP!! Dumb-DOH!-DUH!-Dumb-Dumb! This should definitely be a charm.
Dust & Swampwater
# Mar 07 2003 at 2:12 PM Rating: Decent
Swampwater in Swamp at 0,0...small bag in water on ground. Dust in So Ro at 0,0, also small bag on ground.

Problem is that neither item can be picked up at this time:( Rumor is that they might have locations moved when unbugged.
Found the dust

I found the dust, on the test server at least it is currently behind Rathmana Allin's tent in South Ro.
