Rupkerr #3: A Cursed Cure  

Can you pre-loot the adder egg?

i had my best luck killing all snakes at the top of the hill north of the lizardman camp Shaman Ixchell spawns at. Kill all nearby snakes, the bonus is by the time you get the egg, you will have probably killed about 5 named in the area.

Uglord is right about the best spot to camp the 'sinuous adder'. He's the only one that drops the egg, and if you follow the south wall to the east side of the river, go north just a little bit following the river, stand there looking north and you will see 3 roamers pathing right in front of you. One of them is always the sinuous adder. It took me 4 rounds of spawns to finally get an egg out of him but I had already spent a half hour running all over the southeast area of the zone killing all the vipers and slithering adders to no avail before coming here and finding out about the sinuous.

1) All Rupkerr solo tasks are repeatable, although you most likely need to complete all three and possibly Fall of the Tae Ew (feel free to post at what point they are repeatable). They are a good an easy source of xp and motes

2) Adder Eggs: Best spot for me is southernmost part of zone, just east of river. There are minimum of three adders that path near here and are easy single pulls to riverside here. Sinuous Adders and Slithering Adders both drop the egg. Sinuous adders are also PH's for Sable, a named red snake that drops a fine aug. I spend no more than 10 minutes to get an egg here.

a flesh feeder. - good place to pull these - no wanderers - is +1368, +1846, -14.50. There are three there. Crowd contrl class would be helpfull.

Rotdogs -1307, +905, 0 by House of thule gate.

Orbweavers, any flavor can drop it, pos 1319, -1444 13 is where I set up. I just pulled every spider there if no weavers were up. Spiders are a placeholder for the named spider, Malice. At least, I killed a crapload of them and he popped.

Adders +400, -2521, + 58, there's a two spawn relatively close to there, at least when i was there - two adders slithering side by side. Looks like vipers / adders are PH for each other but I could be wrong. This is where I set up. It's not bad for Orbweavers, either, Anyways, I dont' have a ranger so i just used necro track and ran around spamming F8 targetting everything I saw. When I got an adder, hit it with either disesase cloud if a long pull or short 12 sec mean dot if a short pull. Adders are pretty scarce. I was ranging over 1/3 of that east side of zone looking for them. And they don't drop an egg every time .. kind of 50/50. This is the bottle neck part. Took about 2 hours to get 3 eggs. (Psst.. .bring a tracker if you can.)

You say, 'Hail, Rupkerr'

Rupkerr says 'According to the [details] contained within ritualist grimoire the curse can be lifted, but it will require a great effort on your part, for I cannot do much of this alone.'

You say, 'details'
Rupkerr says 'The spell book speaks of an ancient ointment, which is mixed from an odd list of ingredients found here in the Feerrott. Once mixed, the potion is applied to the skin and the person must incant a spell to activate it. This will make them capable of sending spirits to the afterlife for short time. Are you [willing] to help?'

You say, 'willing'

You have been assigned the task 'A Cursed Cure'.

Rupkerr says 'My thanks! To create the ointment, you'll need to bring me the fang of a flesh feeder, a liberal sample of rot dog saliva, an orbweaver's venom sac, and the egg of an adder. I eagerly await your return.'

Loot 1 Flesh Feeder's Fang
Loot 1 Rot Dog Saliva
Loot 1 Orbweaver Venom Sac
Loot 1 Adder Egg

When you loot each of them the quest gives you directions to return those drops back to Rupkerr. I'm still working on looting the drops, will report back when I get them all on the next step.
