These plague sharks are bugged. One killed me,giving about 600dmg (I have at least 1200HP!)and a friend druid lvl39 with only 350dmg...You can't hit them when they are not in water (they sometimes "fly", following the boat...We killed 2 of them in 2 days and NO MEAT :(

This quest is bugged, just spent 2 hours and only killed one shark, bug is that after you kill a shark the corpse disappears. I petitioned a GM and they confirmed you are not able to complete this quest. Hope my wasted time will help somone else |

Another addition of info, the shark swims VERY fast. I had sow and a 200 point swimming skill, and it out swam me. The shark swam along the patterns the boats take, but we had trouble getting the shark near the boat as it docked. As boats docked, tracking showed the plague shark elsewhere and mov |

Quest is bugged, but not broken. I completed this quest. You can actually use the bugs to yor advantage. The Plague Sharks are on a two hour spawn timer, and always spawn in conjunction with one of the boats (forget which one). Have a Druid or Ranger help you track it. I did indeed have one corpse d |

As of 8:20 p.m. CST, I became proud owner of my second rotten shark portion (called meat). Here, as they say, is the deal:
Step One: Go to Erud's Crossing, presumably packing a fishing pole, six pack of beer and SOME MANNER OF CASTING ENDURING BREATH. The last isn't essential but insanely helpf |

Ronium does not require Fairie Princess Dust. It only requires Fairie Dust which appears to be an uncommon drop from any fairie. I believe the Farie Princess Dust is a special item gotten from Princess Jolena in Lesser Faydark for the Raincaller quest. |

I have just complete all the Ro armor but bracers and vambraces, the armor was reported as 'trivial' to make at my skill (42). My guess is this post is correct, no reall blacksmithing skill is required to make Ro armor anymore. |

I don't beleive you; what server are you on?
2 hour camp for an estimated 15 hour quest means nothing to me. You wasted time by being ill-prepared and over-anxious...your level of patience seems like that of a 13 yr. old. If you were able to get these quest items in a few hours then I would see |

Aye, the plague shark is a single spawn that appears when a Erudin-bound boat approaches the dock. It seems to like the Golden Maiden better than the Seaking.
It would be a lot easier if you have a druid helping you. Wait on the beach near the two catmen not far north from the dock facing east. W |

One note, do not log out near the dwarves if you originally started KOS with them |

I finished this quest today, it works perfectly fine. Shark is about a 2 hour spawn and tends to follow the SeaKing boat. Check for him there. He doesnt always drop what you need so I suggest killing him then camping onto another character for a while and checking back every 2 or so hours. Not t |

As of 3/18/2001 the plague shark was still bugged.
For those starting this quest, the bugs are as follows:
1. The shark follows the path of the Seaking boat most often. If you kill the shark and it's corpse is on the boat path, the corpse will suddenly "poof" out of existence taking it's loo |

I've several times seen that when the Plague Shark is almost dead, he casts(procs ?) a spell while he attacks. So, beware if you are low on Hp.
I die once because of that, no time to LoH myself (doing that when i had only half a buble hp, too late the shark killed me before). |

Newest report: 4/9/2001
It took me the longest time to realize there is more to this shark than the bugs. Messages on the bestiary paint a pretty solid picture of what this shark can do, but I will summarize some here.
The shark "procs" a DD spell that does about 75 points of damage. Much l |

I just notice this said 15 hours to complete. Don't I wish!
Here is a breakdown of how much time I think I can conservatively place on this quest.
Rotten shark meat: 20+ hours. Got 1 meat so far.
Faerie dust: 2 hours. 2nd quickest part of this quest.
Melatite: 15 hours. Seems to be an |

I can't speak to the shark portion time.
Good estimate on Faerie dust. Unless you can get a group of Faerie killers to go clean the camp in Lesser Fay. I hunted random spawns in Greater Fay with the help of a tracker. It can drop off any Faerie.
I don't know about Melatite, I went to SolA |

I have been getting the complete set of Ro Armour over time. So far the hardest one is the Vambraces! The shark will be easy to find if you follow this trick, of course if you have a tracker then this is moot. Get to Erud's crossing and get off on the island. The approx /loc is -1800,+700 right |

I have found out where the Plague Shark hides out and should make finding and killing him much eaiser.
First you need someone who can track, preferably a druid because he/she will be helpful in killing the shark using this method. Second you need another caster, A Wizzard, Necro, or another Druid |

I've noticed that at least some shark and fish are animals, and therefore susceptible to druidic fear, charm, etc. Snare and fear them and you should do well. I haven't tried this on plague shark yet, but soon - a paladin friend has asked a favor of me :)
