Shackle of Copper  

You say, 'what troubles with an outlander?'
Master Niska says 'It seems Klok Ephmir has encountered an outlander who was hunting the food we lizards enjoy. The legion will not act without proof of this outlander's existence. We were asked by the Baron to find this proof. We shall do this. You shall provide me with the outlander's head and the shackles of rock and stone!!'

You say, 'Hail, Klok Ephmir'
Klok Ephmir stares at you with a wicked smirk. 'So you share the Brood's love of frogloks, do you? Alive, they provide much trouble. Dead, they provide much delight. I have found many uses for the frogloks. From fine meat to fine mats. Be sure to ask if you do not see something you desire.'
You say, 'where is the outlander?'
Klok Ephmir turns pale at the mention of the Outlander. 'The Outlander!! That is what the lizards in the Tink N' Babble have dubbed him!! He is tall and strong. Get close enough and he will kill you on sight!! I think he could even defeat the likes of Bruiser Noz!! I spotted him near the edge of the swamps. He was headed toward the fields of Firiona.'

You say, 'who is the outlander?'
Klok Poklon takes a swig straight from the keg's tap. His saliva covers the spout. 'Ahhh!! Heard of the Outlander, eh?!! He is said to be 20 feet tall and has arms the size of treetrunks. He carries a bow of fire and the arrows he shoots can follow you around corners. Some croak said he ran smack into him and was not even attacked, said he even greeted him. Ha!! Now that's babble if I ever heard it!'


You have slain Kwinn the Outlander! <<No faction hits.>>

Master Niska says 'This is not all. Bring me the item this caste seeks and the shackles of stone and rock.'
Master Niska says 'This is not all. Bring me the item this caste seeks and the shackles of stone and rock.'
Master Niska says 'Very good!! Here is your shackle of copper. The emperor shall be pleased that I, Mistress Niska, have slain the outlander. Do you have some time? I need someone to be my [personal courier]? Will you?'

Your faction standing with Swift Tails got better.
Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis got better.
You receive 4 gold from Master Niska.

You say, 'i will be your personal courier' <<This leads you into the next shackle >>

when doing this quest. go through the trigger steps. everytime i do it, qwinn is waiting for me when i get there. trigger, no trigger? whatever the "confirmed" answer is, it works for me.

I can confirm that in fact you can trigger this...

Talk to Riska first then talk to Elmphir make sure to say 'yes i love frogloks'... then hail again...

And Pop... at Loc 2134, -1341 in FV

Looks like a once a day thing ...

I stumbled across Kwinn at roughly p2400, n1400. I believe he was heading roughly west at the time, also. As for this persistent theory that you have to spawn him by talking with Riska and Ephmir, it's purely happy cooincidence, be glad. I did verify that he was not kos to drolvarg or froglok factions, but forgot to check giants or goblins. I did run him by a few leeches, but I'm not positive about them. As for being a shaman, it's doubtful imo. I ran around for a while with him, checking his faction against the mobs, and he didn't cast a single spell for the duration. Also, with aa run 3, I left him behind without a problem.

So to recap what I found useful from the previous posts, slaughter everything wholesale. The area near the mud covered hill to the join in the grass, across to the giants, is his probable location. Everything in there that isn't a static spawn could be a ph, afaik.

Happy hunting. :)

I can confirm that Kwinn is triggered. I talked to Master Niska and Ephnir. I ran straight to FV after and waited, at the most, 5 minutes. I was SoWed so I got there a bit fast. Perhaps if I were not SoWed, I would have got there just as he spawned. Some of the posts below have different coordinates. These are all great posts. I took the four coordinates and made a box of roughly these points. I stayed within the box and found Kwinn very easily. At 35, he put up a decent fight and I used mend when he got me to about 2 and a half bubbles just for the heck of it. He conned blue to me so I was happy that I was actually getting EXP from him. I hope this helps future brothers and sisters in this quest. Good luck all!

I had no problem with this guy at all. I talked to Master Riska, then to Klok Ephimir. I ran to the eastern most FV/swamp zone, and I killed a few mobs I saw near where the grass changes textures. I killed a goblin standing in a certain spot, then turned around to kill something else, when I turned back Kwinn the Outlander was standing pricisely where the goblin had been. I screenshotted his exact /loc it is POS 2678, NEG 2266. He was not kos and light blue to 43.

LMAO this guy was a joke i took my monk to FV and put him up on the hill at the giant fort (p2640 n2779) and logged a newbie monk in to iniate the quest (with guild master and merchent) then logged on my wifes 25 Druid and waited after 15min (approx) he spawned at p2382 -1789 in between a rock and a tree. takedown was a joke got head got bracer

I have tried triggering him several times and it hasn't worked, but when I read abtou him poping near the swamp/normal grass part near zone, I wonder, what FV/SONH zone is that at? There are 2, I have been camping the eastern one, from the zone to the 'muddy hill' with a tracker, and he hasn't poped after taking a mule to talk to Klok Ephmir.

I just did this quest, and oh god was it the easiest I have ever done. Maybe I just got lucky, but damn it was!

I DO think that Kwinn is on a timer with the Klok, because when I left for FV the last thing I did was talk to the klok. When I got to FV I shouted for a trackers help and the loc of the giant fort where I planed to set up camp. With no trackers to assist me, I ran to the giant fort, and on the way there was a attacked by a wondering Drovlarg, when I FDed, who should spawn right next to me? none other then Kwinn.

The loc of his spawn was around 2046, -1563. It was int he middle of a couple rocks.

I hope this helps others!

I just finished this quest. I tried the trigger theory for Kwinn, but he didn't spawn, so I'm not sure that it consistently works. I just camped down there with a tracker and happened to catch Kwinn. He was wandering freely among the locals, they didn't seem to aggro on him, unless I got super lucky and happened to log in just as he spawned, which I doubt.

The reward was the Shackle of Copper (obviously), some faction, 4 gold, no experience, and an 8-stone box for the next part of the quest (ugg).

Muse...

(Because I hate when people ask if they can solo something.)

Fought two different spawns of Kwinn, once at 30, and then again at 34 (only one blue into level though, so no combat skill increases). Same equipment both times: FB and EoD and half Wu's and half misc armor better than Wu's.

First time I nearly defeated him, but got an add after I IDed him. Second time, with three more levels, Kwinn used me for jail-bait. Three times.

Finally took him down with the assistance of a passing monk (40+ I think he was).
Disarming him really has no effect. He strikes slower, but his average damage increases from 55 to 65.

He resisted ID one out of two times it landed.

Mr. Fizzle was not with him, and I have never seen froggies buff other races, so I think he either has varying strength per incarnation, or was nerfed during the two weeks that I did not see him.

He also regenerates at an insane rate. After taking him down to 25%, I had to FD and immediately began bandaging. By the time I had reached 50%, Kwinn was back to full health.

As for having a triggered spawn, I cannot say. Some people swear by it, but I had no success with it.

Put a druid with tracking and your monk at the forest giant camp in FV. Camp behind the giants for protection, and every couple hours just log on the druid and check tracking. Within a day Kwinn was on track. Snared and Combusted about 4 times, Kwinn went down. Quickly logged and got on monk. Looted the head and I'm on my way to Bronze. Talking to NPC in East Cabiliis does not trigger it, trust me.
