This quest will result in the three rings required for the Paw of Opolla Quest.

Melixis is a merchant that sells supplies for shaman-made potions. When you hail her she claims to have three [shiny tings] that she found all over the world. These shiny tings are [a dull ring] (the copper ring) a [kinda shiny ring] (the silver ring) and a [really shiny ring] (the gold ring).

For the dull ring she wants a Guk Bracket Mildew.

All of these items drop off the fungus mutants in Upper Guk.

HELP

OK, send me an email PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE and tell me if this is accurate (my email is: ToJamesF@aol.com)... I got the silver ring in blackburrow... now all i need is the weed and the mildew... then I get one of the other rings off of gynok in befallen... is this all correct? That would be the end of the quest? Also, is there a specific time I have to kill the the fungus mutant like 9:11 or 11:11 or something... like any hour but the 11'th minute if I want to get the weed? Please email me and let me know.

Simple as this- Get the 4 rings...use whatever method you want to becuase there are several, then you can go into Catacombs of Qeynos and either kill, or give the rat pies and beer to Vin Moltor...being lvl 29 I killed him..it was no problem..got me down about 1 bub of hp. The Severed Paw he drops is a 4 slot container..put the 4 rings in it...(make sure they are all right by seeing if they are both magical and lore and also have an add and subtract value) then click combine..Good luck

spawn time on mutant fungus
# Sep 09 2001 at 1:25 AM Rating: Default
Ive been campin that mutant alot lately all i got was the mildew bracket and faerix spores. Well anyway to any1 wanting to know the spawn time on the mutant its about 17 minutes. I hope this helps.
You say guk is too hard?
# Aug 20 2001 at 10:13 AM Rating: Default
I was there today only had time to kill the mutant twice and the ancient once. I had no problems. I sat down below the ledge, never got jumped, only got the mutant when I pulled, I just snared him, and did a couple dds, all he did was try to snare root and blast me with 11 damage fire spells. The ancient did dot me twice though. Hope this helps you some.

GUK kind of problem
# Jul 27 2001 at 8:03 AM Rating: Default
Ok i have a problem every single time i go to Guk to camp for the items i need for the rings i get clobbered. Im a level 38 druid. How the hell are you camping these guys and not dying. I mean im the master at soloing and even though ever thing cons green on me i still get wooped. 2 or 3 green mobs no problem. 10 green mobs hitting pluse hitting you with magic spells that comes out to be a problem. Now either one you guys are full of it or to your so high they couldnt hurt. Now if you have a trade secret im willing to hear it.

Even though everything is green to you, the mobs will jump you when you either sit to meditate or when you are looting. While merely standing there you will not get jumped. When going to the Fungus Farm in Guk you come to a ledge just above the area where the fungus MOBS roam. On top of this ledge is the best place to meditate. There is only one Froglock that will wander down this hallway from time to time. You kill him and you can then sit and meditate undisturbed until he spawns once again about 15 minutes later. Snare the froglock while using personal damage shield then mele and nuke until dead. While sitting or standing on this ledge you will not be able to see the exact spot where the mutant pops but you will see messages saying that he is casting once he pops. You then drop down, target the mutant and blast away. The mutant is on a 17 minute timer I think so there will be plenty of time to med in between kills. Buffs: Put up all the poison resist buffs and gear you can get, this is the key to staying alive easily. The mutant casts a clockwork poison spell that stuns you spins you around in circles while he hits you. Use your Skin like ... spell, personal damage shield, and regen if you have it. I suggest you open with your best DOT, then nuke as many times as needed as quickly as possible then head back up to the ledge to rest. Some folks prefer to open with snare then DOT then nuke away. Good luck with the drops!

I am a memmber of the Guardians of Tunare. One day about a week ago my guild was having a raid of Uguk so I went too, and I got the mildew from a nice druid that already had some. Well I camped Gynok Moltor for about 17 hours on and off and finaly one day I was healing a gnome warrior lvl 26 and Gynok spawned. So Gynok hit the gnome first and then we both attack me nukeing and him tanking and I won, so he thinks that I KSed him because he got hit first even if I had been camping him for 17 hours. Well Gynok droped the plat ring, and I stuck around for a bit to help a guild friend when the next spawn was Gynok himself two times in a row. and people didnt think Gynok Moltor spawned in the new befallen, they are very wrong. Also I bought the gold ring for 555plat I didnt think that was that bad.

I got lost in Blackburrow and found the silver ring just lying on the bottom of the pool (looks like a bag) There are low lev razorfish that attack you but its easy to find.
Getting the Guk Weed
# May 18 2001 at 12:27 AM Rating: Default
My friend told me that he camped the Mutant 3 times and said that each time he camped it he got the guk weed at 9:11 pm pst. So when I camped it at 9:11pm pst. The Mutant dropped the Guk Weed.

Got Guk weed first shot, then had to kill three more to get the Bracket Mildew. I kinda think the later may be rare...Hehe.
Short Camp (maybe lucky)

I've killed the mutant 26 times since yesterday. I'm getting the mildew, but not the guk weed. This is after almost 7 hours of camping...and the crazy thing is I'm going to keep doing it because this is the last ring I need!

# Apr 12 2001 at 6:20 PM Rating: Default
As best I know, Kerra Island is Agro only on Eruites and Shadow Knights unless you've been hunting there.

Don't know how they feel about necros.

I have been there with a wood elf/druid friend, and a Dwarf/Warrior friend. Both of them were fine.

I, as an Eru/Wizard, remained invis until we found something to kill...
RE: are they kos?
# Jun 29 2001 at 7:17 PM Rating: Decent
They dont Like Ogres, Trolls, Iksars, Dark Elves...or Necros/SK's...and they really hate Erudites, as they are mortal enemies...

My druid isn't liked here after I decided to go exploring...Went with a cleric friend, and another druid...
What we did was Gathered up as big a train as we could, the Cleric used his Donal's boots to Tremor, then myself and the other druid Followed up with Earthquake...quite a big mana hit, but when you've got manastones, its not that bad =)
Stupid gongo didn't drop his legs, and the little jojo tiger thingy wasn't up...

I spent over 8 hours yesterday camping the Fungus Mutant...killed him 35 times, and no spores and definitely no weed. I did get the mildew, but damn...this is a bit ridiculous.
RE: Son of a...
# Apr 13 2001 at 2:58 AM Rating: Default
In fact, you don't need to camp spores, since the silver ring is dropped in the bottom of lake in Black Burrow ( well known ).
About the weed, i think the most important is LUCK. I got the weed on my fifth try, and finished this suck quest. I suggest that you camp this spot 3 to 4 hours each time, if it don't drop it, come later on next day, it will less suffer. And I get my weed this way. That fifth try is on the third day of this method.
Don't give up. Fight against the random number with you luck : )

No kidding! We camped it for 17 hours. We did get the mildew and the spores. But no joy on the weed.
upper guk faction
# Feb 13 2001 at 9:23 AM Rating: Decent
I just discovered that killing runggup in tox forest raises faction for the frogloks of guk. Since i have not been to upper guk, i figured its worth raising my faction so i could travel a little bit easier to where that mutant fungus is.
no you cant kill her for rings
# Jan 17 2001 at 8:53 AM Rating: Default
im not say you cant kill her, but if you do, she wont drop anything because she's a merchant, an merchant corpses go poof
can you kill her
# Nov 09 2000 at 4:35 PM Rating: Default
If you kill her does she drop the rings for the quest???
RE: can you kill her? I dont think so but...
# Nov 28 2000 at 3:24 PM Rating: Default
No, I dont think so. But I believe you can kill Khonza Mitty to get the rings without doing the quest. (I believe the Gold ring is a very rare drop though)
RE: can you kill her? I dont think so but...
# May 21 2001 at 10:04 AM Rating: Default
Killing Mitty will only get you bad faction with the Kerrans. Mitty no longer drops the rings (the weed quest was put into the game for this reason).

God, I wish I could be that lucky. camped this stupid thing over 25 hours myself, and another druid friend has over 40 hours logged camping it. Neither of us has received the stuff for the gold ring. Get the copper stuff all the time though.
RE: woot
# Apr 03 2001 at 10:24 AM Rating: Default
Guess that I got really lucky, was running through Upper Guk today, when I saw the fungus mutant on track, went there, killed him and he dropped the degenerated weed, right what I needed heh, and that was the first time that I had seen that mob, never camped it

You also need a platinum ring for this quest.
RE: Missing part
# Sep 05 2000 at 4:09 PM Rating: Default
yeah you do need a plat ring, it drops off a mummy in befallen, duh, you get the 3 other rings in a quest. Total of 4 rings there, put them all in the paw and hit combine and whalla!

Faction

She is on the BetaNeutral faction. I discovered this myself when she was aprehensive to me while the other kerrans were amiable. The PoD was also aprehensive to me so I put this together. Luckily, I raised my faction with betaneutral and got her up to Indifferent, allowing me to do the quest.

Good luck raising faction though if you are negative with her. If you don't have sneak, you are out of luck, as far as I know anyway.

I read this and have yet to confirm, giving a bloodstone to Tarn Vislin in High Hold Keep (as part of an enchanter quest) raises BetaNuetral faction.

What faction is the Npc for this quest? She is the only cat that isn't amaible to me, so she must be on a seperate faction. If anyone knows what faction and how to raise it please let me know.
You dont need any...
# Jan 18 2001 at 2:47 AM Rating: Default
I am very KOS to all kerrans, and dubious to this lady, I just gave her the weed and she gave me the ring. This of course caused a big ol train but I got my ring.
