This area is sandwiched between Cabilis, the Field of Bone, Firiona Vie, and Trakanon's Teeth. It is a "hub" of sorts for the Frogloks of Kunark, who built a large city here close to the water source which feeds the swamp.

The Iksars of Cabilis, while enemies of the Frogloks, have allowed the Frogloks to keep their outpost in their own part of the swamp. The swamp itself is maintained by a water source stemming from Trakanon's Teeth. Travelling through this reservoir alone is not recommended as it is infested with highly aggressive, bloodthirsty ravengers. Be watchful of the wandering undead and local plantlife while traversing these age-old wetlands.

One of the last parts of the quest is to "explore the four pillars with the statue of an Iksar head" which I found, but the quest progression did not activate.

Does anyone know if this quest is broken? My level 12 Iksar Beastlord is very unhappy.

Went over to the left of the zone in, that area where, normally there are a bunch of mosquitos and leeches. Well imagine my suprise when I run blindly over there and bam 20 froglocks and no mosquitos ar leeches. They pounded my scaly behind into the dirt in about 2.2 and i am scratching my head wondering where all the leeches went. Anyone know what happened????

That would probably be for a quest starting in LOIO. The professor at the mill wants you to bring him 3 pieces of a broken medallion. not sure what reward is at end of quest tho. Hope that helps =)

That would be the Veeshan Peaks entrance key. There are 3 medallions and each has 3 different parts for 9 total parts.
krup warriors?

where do these guys spawn? they carry a no drop shield for an iksar warrior quest. i cannot find the krup warriors. anyone seen them?

RE: krup warriors?
# Mar 04 2001 at 8:12 PM Rating: Good
The Krup warriors are actaully in the frog town. Good luck- I have zero Krup Shields and have gone 0-5 against Ulump Pujlok, who has a bad habit of hanging around town when I least need him to be there.
In my opinion, this is the hardest part of getting the 3 legionaire recommendations- in part because it is usually empty of other players. At least on the Mith-Marr server.
odd things
# Nov 17 2000 at 12:52 PM Rating: Default
i was helping to kill frogluk raiders in swamp for tome pages guild mate needed for quest.one of them droped A TICKET STUB..when i identified it it said ONE WAY FROM OAISIS TO KUNARK..its lore no drop..any ideas? I also killed a named nibbler droped nothing forgot the loc.
RE: odd things
# Jan 16 2001 at 12:06 PM Rating: Default
Wow..thats very strange indeed. But my guess its a tp potion..but if its says FROM oasis TO kunark then maybe it has something to do with the tower in the middle of the lake while holding the stub and it might tp ya somewhere in kunark. Thats just a weird little theory i have about this. Also if you ever try it try holding it while standing in the blue flame and press the D button. Although i dont seriously see how such an item excists off such a creature, but i guess anything is possible you know...
RE: odd things
# Jan 16 2001 at 12:12 PM Rating: Default
Oh i forgot to mention. As I thought about this item more, it all came to me. Its probably used for a quest, most likely in The Out post,Fironia Vie or some really rare npc in Oasis but the only rare spawn i have seen in there was a named SG. If you still have this item and taking my suggestions seriously might wana try talking to some npc's in The outpost most likely or something:)
RE: odd things
# Jan 16 2001 at 12:17 PM Rating: Default
Oh one more thing...I remember one of my friends having this hammer thing has a triggered effect to tp you to The Overthere in a blink of an eye with unlimited charges. But i dont know if the stub if used for the quest or not. Anyway i hope I've been of help to anyone but dont take my suggestions that seriously, Its late and these are just wacky ideas poping out of my head..though you might not wana overlook them...
RE: odd things
# Aug 30 2001 at 2:17 AM Rating: Default
nope, unrelated. The Worker's Sledgemallet (procs a port to OT) is achieve by giving a piece of jade to some dude in the outpost in OT... you just need to have good faction with him

Actually it is a great place from 1 all the way to lvl 35, what I did (Iksar Necro) I would set up camp at the end of the path near the pillar close to the Iksar bandit camp. and kill what ever I could find. Most stuff near the pillar cons blue up to 35. Since there isn't much competition for mobs there it is a GREAT zone to play in.

I totaly agree. The newbie area is awsome and there is almost no one ever there. I get huge lag in FOB but almost none in the Swamp. All beginning iksars should utilize this zone.
Bounders

Warriors need to kill froglok bounders for the footman pike quest. Trouble is, I've run all over the swamp and not seen even one. Where do these critters hide?

Follow the path to the right from the pillar area. Go to the island directly across from the path. I killed a bounder on the left side of that island. He was near the swamp edge. I am an 8th level monk, and it was a fight to the last bubble. He dropped a bounder spear. Good luck.

The Cave of Good Druid Soloing

Spot #4 on this map is a cave with various sorts of Frogloks that are VERY easy to fight one at a time and often drop fine steel. I used root-dot-med on the warriors and snare-porcupine-nuke on the caster froggies.

Spot #5 is a camp of Iksar outcasts that are easy to pull and fight, one at a time, using harmony. They cluster up in twos, so harmony one and pull the other. I did a lot of levels in my high-teens and early 20's on these guys. The occassional Iksar Pariah will spawn, which is pretty tough until you get to your mid-twenties.

If things go wrong, you can quickly zone into Trakanon's Teeth and clear your aggro. Never had anything in the tunnel on the other side bother me in the least.

I suggest gaining levels on the Iksar first, then graduating to the froggies.
Clerical Soloing
# Aug 24 2000 at 2:55 PM Rating: Excellent
There's a wonderful undead camp in the Swamp that my cleric solo'd at for a number of levels, up to 31 I believe. You can use a range weapon or range spell to pull mobs one at a time. They don't aggro the neighbors. There are about 6-7 spawns in this camp.

The progression of mobs is:

warbones
icebones
charbones

The charbones are quite dangerous in the mid-twenties, had them even give my group a hard time, but they become soloable in the later 20's. I recommend keep enstill or root memmed in case you need to back off and heal yourself.

stun-root-back off and heal yourself

I always worked this undead camp from the side with the trees because the other side had too many wanderers that'll pounce upon as you med. But beware, every now and then Crusader Savot, a wandering Iksar newbie guard, wanders by killing things like the deputies in Misty Thicket. And he doesn't much care for anyone except other Iksar. He killed my level 29 cleric in less than 10 seconds.

Hunting from 24 to 29

There is an excellent spot to do solo or with a group of 2. As you enter the swamp from the SouthWest zone entrance (from Firona Vie) Head East NorthEast. You'll see the head from a giant Iksar statue. Head east from that and you'll see some ruins.

Set up camp just west of those ruins. There is a nice wide open flat spot there so you can see things coming that might agro. Start pulling from the ruins. The skellies in there have a VERY low agro radius. I have pulled one from the back by mistake and it climbed over all the other skellies to get to me. None of the other skellies agro'ed. I was amazed!

If you run out of skeletons, just take your pick of the non-agro MOBs who are crawling all over the place.
Finding Ton Warriors for that Ench Quest
# Aug 23 2000 at 6:13 PM Rating: Good
Near the top center of the zone around 2500,0 is a iksar bandit camp. There is LOTS of stuff that wanders around this camp and through it. Kill anything that moves and eventually a ton will spawn. Be sure to get the totem and not the Piece of Totem. This took me about 4 hours of killing to get.

It has been my experience in the swamp that the ton warriors that drop the whole totem actually tend to travel in the far south of the zone. There is skelly house around neg2500, pos750. To the south and southwest there is a small clearing. This is the best place to set up a camp for catching ton froggies.
