Enic Ruklin may be found at the Temple of Life at -180, -285, 4.

You say, 'Hail, Enic Ruklin'

Enic Ruklin says 'Hail! These are the sacred grounds of the Temple of Life. Please do not cause any disturbances while on our grounds. I would hate to have to hurt you. In the name of Rodcet Nife, of course. Now excuse me, I have a [problem] to attend to.'

You say, 'What problem?'

Enic Ruklin says 'I have been charged with the duty of protecting the [Pool of Jahnda] and its fish. Now it seems as though a beast by the name of [Frostbite] has slurped up another one of the sacred fish, the [Koalindl]. If I do not get the little corpse of this fish back, I could be in trouble. Any respected member of this temple who aids me will be rewarded greatly.'

You say, 'What about the Pool of Jahnda?'

Enic Ruklin says 'The Pool of Jahnda is not meant for public use. It is a sacred pool created for the [Koalindl]. They say that, every so often, the Prime Healer visits our plane in the guise of a Koalindl. He swims in our pool.'

You say, 'What are the Koalindl?'

Enic Ruklin says 'The fish called Koalindl were a gift to Priestess Jahnda from the Prime Healer. They come from the plane of health. To kill one Koalindl is to bring the wrath of Rodcet Nife and the Priests of Life down upon you.'

You say, 'What about Frostbite?'

Enic Ruklin says 'Frostbite is a dog. He belongs to some barbarian who visits the city every so often. I know not where they are from. I cannot see them coming from Halas. Their visits are too frequent.'

Frostbite can be found at the Barbarian fishing village in West Karana. Watch out! Ulrich McMannus is very fond of the mutt and will insta-kill you if he sees you harming Frostbite. Also, frostbite does not always have a fish on him when you kill him and killing him causes severe faction drops with several barbarian factions. Deliver the fish corpse and you will get some decent gold and sometimes a nice item as well (I have been told of prayer beads and a Band of Rodcet Nife from this quest).

There are two other ways to get the fish. You can also complete this quest by killing Koalindl fish yourself or through a newbie mule character (which is the better method), taking the severe faction hit, getting killed by the guard, and turning in the fish corpse to Ruklin.

Or you can do the regurgatonic quest in Ak'Anon and feed Frostbite the regurgatonic, which will cause him to cough up the fish corpse with no loss of faction.

What did I do wrong?

Ok. I'm an enchanter.
I got the fish from Frostbite with Regurgitonic.

I went to the Temple of Life, but Enic Ruklin was NOT there. I found him at the Temple of Thunder. I thought this was strange, maybe a typo.

I hailed him a bunch of times, but he didn't say anything to me, even when I was standing in front of him. So I casted Human Illusion, and Alliance, so that he Conned Amiable. And after hailing him 20 more times, I decided that he wasn't going to talk to me.

I waited about 20 minutes following him around, and hailing whenever he stoped at a spot. Figuring he had a certain place he had to be for him to talk to me. Never a word.

Finally, I decided to take a chance anyway, and gave him the fish. And he said something like "Thank you for the Koalindl Fish." THE END

Is this Quest no longer active?

If this quest doesnt work, your faction has to be higher. Get it up to amiable. Do this easily by giving 2 gold peices at a time to the guy on the ramp ( he is not always there but just look for him on the ramp) it takes a while to get up the faction but it works. Once people con amialble to you, then u can do the fish trick.

Enic Ruklin is one of those NPCs that's able to be in more than one place at the same time. He's in both N Qeynos and S Qeynos, strangely at both temples. Unfortunately, they really aren't the same NPC. Only the version in N Qeynos (the one that hangs out at the Temple of Life) will work for the quest.

He's usually behind the pond, or sometimes in the pond (especially if he's caught someone killing the fish and jumped in to kill them). If he's not there, he'll be back in a little while.

I just did this quest with an 8 cleric of Rodcet Nife. A high chanter was sat in th epod taking out passer by for for, and I looted the fish. Gave them to Enic and Bingo! Prayer Beads then Ring of Rodcet Nife. Still very good exp at 8 too.
real way of doing this
# Aug 09 2001 at 8:37 AM Rating: Default
this is easy, especially for us that have done the stein of moggok quest lots of times.. One of the most important things is get a bind on the left side of the lake. no one walks over there. then get him a bow and some arrows, and i used a war, but this should work with any melee class except monk i think. you just sit there and kill alllllll the fish you want and you don't have to worry about faction, but the character is a mule and will never be any more.. almost have my lvl 2 warrior leveled to 3 on koalondl fish alone. just get that bind, and even if eric hits you, it doesn't matter, you go right back to where you need to be
Indifferent

I have wanted to get this band for a long time now. First I killed a fish with my half elf pally mule, and looted it with my then-dubious-faction with Priests of Life. I knew I had to get more faction to complete the quest, so I looked up how to increase faction with Priests of Life. First I turned in a stack of bonechips to Lashun Novashine, no change, still dubious. Then I went to The Temple of Thunder in S. Qeynos, and blew my 2 other stacks of bonechips on the quest there. Apprehensive now. I went to Q hills and bought 2 stacks for 6pp and hunted for 10 bonechips more. Turned them in. Indifferent. Then I did the same thing over, and I was still indifferent. I turned in my koalindl corpse, thinking "You only have to have indifferent". I get the message "The temple smiles on you, my friend...". So this is where I am right now, Doing the Rabid wolf quest and trying to get someone level 12-14 to group with me for half an hour to get a few bandit sashes. Oh well, keep trying )

I've run the Frostbite portion of this quest a couple of times with pretty good success with my DE Enchanter. However, you should know that Frostbite now is a very short-lived spawn and wanders the zone, appearing in his "cage" for only a few moments. The second I had him on track with my Druid, I logged in my Enchanter and poof, he was gone again. This happened several times so I guess I'll have to sit my DE butt down and wait for him.

Just an update to my previous post. It appears that frostbite is now back in his pen. Perhaps it was just a 'bug' that one morning. I did find out that as a DE I need to remember to cast some sort of illusion on me first =\ LOL.

In my experience, Frostbite stays in his pen. Likely this gent just came along after someone killed the pup.

How To Do It
# Jun 08 2001 at 11:49 PM Rating: Default
Ok I spent a while figuring this out and doing it so this is how to do it: Bring your character who wants the band to the temple so he can turn in the item (he should and must have indifferent faction with Enic to work), then create a mule character (I used human monk.) and take him to the temple. Using an agnostic human monk I killed a lot of fish and never got KOS with anyone, just dubious. Do not attack the fish when they are near Enic because he will defend them and kill you. One fish runs infront of him, you can kill it when it is furthest from him, and another runs along the wall behind him and you can kill that one after it has rounded the corner on Enics left side. Make sure you have enough air before you attack them because if you dont you will have to drown or pop up for air and if you pop up for air while fighting they will often run away and regen. Killing these fish is not a problem for any combat class at lvl 1 so dont worry they are easy (Monks make it easy.) After you have killed one and checked that it had the corpse (usually), then camp and bring out your questing char and loot the corpse. Give the corpse to Enic and tada. You have to do this because the corpse is no drop and your fighter will have low faction. The band is also no drop do if you make a rodcet nife worshiper your faction is no good unles you want the band for your mule... Have fun and hope this helps.

It seems as if you actually be better than apprehensive in faction to turn them in. I received the quest, yet when I turned one in as apprehensive (had a newbie kill it), he said 'The Temple of Life smiles upon you friend.. but such a delicate matter can onlyh be entrusted to our most loyal members.'

Doh!

Instead if giving all your bone chips to the guy fir a Insanely little amount of faction boost head to S. Qeynos to the temple of thunder or whatever that paladin guild is ..one of the guys outside will give ya a chest fill it w/ 6 bones and give it back to him(after hitting combine of course) this will give you +more factions than other quest and raises factions MUCH faster 2 1/2 stacks took me from apprehensive to indiff w/ temple of life.
The Right Way

I am a level 20 Enchanter and me and a friend of mine are traveling together doing the Stein of Maggok quest, which also requires the corpse of one of these most sacred fish. When we made it to Qeynos, under the advice of this site I had him create a SK mule, power leveled it to level 2, and set him to work killing the fish. Of course as soon as the fish were dead he became KOS. So of course he deleted the Character and created a new one. What we realized however is that the SK is a horrible class for the fish killing mule. The best possible mule you could want to use would be a Human Warrior who WORSHIPS Rodcet Nife. He's killed 7 fish with that character so far and STILL cons Indifferent to the temple people. So if you want the ring or the stein, this is the way to go.
Now what did I do with all these fish corpses? Well he comes back on with his main, we group, we loot a corpse and presto, hand it in for nice quick cash and faction. He wont give you the ring right away. We had to try 3 times, each time he gave greater amounts of cash and prayer beads, but on the third try he gave me 20 gold and the ring. Tommarow night we plan to spend an hour or 2 doing this quest again and again, becuase the loot is rather nice actually, and the Factions gained are fantastic. Keep in mind that in order to start the quest, I had to Illusion:Human, cast Sympathetic Aura on myself and Alliance on the Paladin, but the results are the same. He must con indifferent at least to do the quest, and the better your faction, the better the reward.

Before reading all of this, I was bored one day and I killed the fishies in the pool. I got the corpse and managed not to be killed. But now my faction is all screwed up with the Temlpe of Life. I would like to get this item, but now they won't talk to me, or they threaten me. How can I get my faction back up with them. I don't wanna turn the corpse in and get the shaft. Pls e-mail me if ya know.

I killed the fish in the pond and I went from Indif to Dubious with Enic. I gave him the fish corpse and he I got no reward. I assume you must be higher htan dubious to receive a reward.

Enic must con amiable.
Faction can be rasied by killing Putrid Skeletons in South Sarana or by performing the blessed oil quest as well as giving Lashun Novashine 2 bone chips at a time and paying him 2gp for a cure disease. (I've heard stories of ppl having to pay up to 400gp before Enic conned amiable).

It seems that Frost bite doesn't always drop the fish.

I killed him three times to get my first fish. I've been working on getting a fish for a friend, killed the wolf-dog 7 last night, no fish dropped. And, that damn Barbarian Ulrich keeps buggin me, thank goodness for sow.
Good quest
# Feb 13 2001 at 9:43 PM Rating: Decent
This quest is extremely easy and has a nice reward. Would you rather do a tiny quest at lvl 1 for 3 int and 10 mana or pay 200pp for 4 int rings? Using a mule, this quest can be done at any lvl without a faction hit. Just make a new char that starts in qeynos and have your char who you want to get the ring for camp near the pool in N Qeynos. Kill a fish in the pond with your "mule", make sure it has koalindl remains, and then log on as your other char and loot it and turn it in. Simple.
How do i raise faction!!!

Is there anyway in how to raise faction to this guy because i am apprehensivly to him which is not a good thing if i want the ring so plz help!

Thanks you! :)

Moonstones (and gnoll teeth) will help *immensely*... Gnoll teeth to Captain Tillin (top floor of the Arena in S. Qeynos), and then taking the moonstones he gives you to the bartender in the back room (I think his name is Fish-- talk to the only one there to be sure) of Fish's bar-- across from Voleen's in S.Qeynos. You can sell the booze he gives you back to him for some nice cash.
RE: How do i raise faction!!!
# Dec 21 2000 at 4:30 PM Rating: Default
Here do this:

There's an NPC named Lashun Novashine. He's found either on the runway leading up to the flying saucer, or out wandering around in the newby area. You'll see him shouting out "Cease this endless conflict ... " If you give him two bone chips, he will give you exp and faction and sometimes cast a healing spell on you. You get the following faction adjustments: +PriestsofLife, +KnightsofThunder, +GuardsofQeynos, -BloodSabers, +AntoniusBayle.

Also giving him 2Gps will increase your Factions

Band of Rodcet Knife

This quest is easy for and enchanter. Have a friend create a mule charecter and kill the Koalindl fish in the pond next to Enic Ruklin at the Temple of Life, loot it and cast a faction raising spell in Enic to get your faction to amible (only way he'll give up the band) and give him the fish. The prayer beads have 2 charges of healing and the Band of Rodcet Knife is lore +3int +10Mana (NEC's can't equip this sorry)

Apprehensive to amiable
# Oct 16 2000 at 2:44 AM Rating: Default
I was apprehensive and as a level 12 only had alliance to get my faction up to indifferent with him. He doesn't give you any reward, exp, or faction adjusts for turning the fish in with indifferent. I went into the pool with him and cast minor illusion on myself, which got me to indifferent, then i cast alliance on him and he was aamiable and i got the band.
Frostbite only has one fish at a time
# Sep 21 2000 at 11:38 PM Rating: Default
Frostbite only has one fish at a time.

If you are doing this quest multiple times be aware that frostbite only loads with one fish so
that once you get 1 from him he has to be killed and come back for him to have it again,
Amiable
# Sep 12 2000 at 7:04 AM Rating: Default
You need at least "amiable" facton with Enic Ruklin to even talk with him.

The reward is random.... I got the beads first, kept them, figuring he couldn't give me
the same thing again. The second time--Band of Rodct Nife. Just keep whatever he gives you the first time. Both items are LORE.
Factions, Which go up/down?
# Aug 21 2000 at 10:29 AM Rating: Default
Well I was just wondering what factions were raised/Dropped when you turned in the fish to the swimming pally....
If anyone could help this would be great

u get a rodcet nife ring +3int +10mana very nice for a job well easy and prayer beeds 1-3 greater heal charges! i got the ring first time i done then since its lore i got prayer beeds so u get ring then beeds
Faction
# Aug 17 2000 at 12:38 AM Rating: Decent
Does anyone know what the minimum faction/con is, I have tried this quest after killing the fish a couple of times cause it doesnt always drop the "Koalindl Fish" , I need to know faction so I can raise it before turning in the corpse again, it would really help out!
Regurgitonic faction loss
# Jul 04 2000 at 9:05 AM Rating: Decent
Actually, you do loose faction from getting the koalindl via the regurgitonic version, but only a minor loss with Rogues of the White Rose (Halas rogues). In compensation you gain faction with (all?) the other Halas groups.
regurgitonic DOESN'T work IF...
# Jan 26 2001 at 10:46 PM Rating: Default
...frostbite cons dubious. So just be sure you have really good Halas faction before you trek on out to Akanon. I gave Frosty the potion, and he poofed it-- only afterwards did I realize that he conned dubious to me. *&#$#!!!
