I guess this is a more general type type of question, but since there are so
many nice items Wizards can get at Guk I will go ahead answer the question.

Swamp
Netted armor can easily be acquired just outside Guk in the swamp, there is
a small island right at the entrance to Guk where you will see a lot of
Frogloks running around. Just start taking them out. You should get a
piece of Netted every 15 - 20 Frogs or so. The only danger is the
occasional wandering Troll NPC/Jojoguna (sp?) just keep an eye out, and if
you get into trouble run into Guk. Also you can get Woven off the
occasional Froglok Forager's. Forager's tend to hang out near the old
abandoned tower.

UpperGuk
UpperGuk is a 10 - 30 level dungeon. The very first part of the dungeon
(The area before the bridge/tunnel with the water in it) is very easy.
Although this is a small portion of the dungeon. Part of the area after the
bridge you probably can take as well depending upon how well your group
works together. One thing try not to let the Frogs run away from you. This
can easily start train which could annihilate you, and all of the other
unfortunate souls in the area. Just Root'em nukem or do whatever you do
best to keep them from running. Also pay attention to whats going on around
you. I have seen some nasty trains at Guk. As far as Frog you get Woven
armor off Sentries, Sentinels, Guards, Tuk Warriors, Apprentices, Neophytes,
Novices, Witchdoctors, and Tuk Shamans. Might have missed one or two but
that is the majority of the Frogs that give out Woven. Mesh is dropped by
Gaz's and higher. There are also a few special Frogs in the area that carry
their own unique items. You need to gain at least another 5 levels before
you can even start to thing of tackling them though. Guk can be a really
nice to place to go if you have group that works very well together. Solo
it is almost sucidial especially on the 2nd level of uppper Guk.

Have fun in Guk
