We have achieved success! This quest is currently doable.
The following are the components needed for the quest...
Initial Stage Components:
3 Honeycombs (from bixie corpses) and 5 gold TO GET Honey
Jum(LORE) in Rivervale.
1 Innoruuk's Kiss of Death(LORE) bought in Erudin TO GET 1
Erud's Tonic(LORE) in Erudin.
2nd Stage components:
Honey Jum(LORE) as above.
Erud's Tonic(LORE) as above.
Kiola Nut bought in Ocean of Tears, Sisterhood Island for 2 gold.
Koalindl Fish(LORE) from Koalindl fish corpses. These fish can
only be found in Qeynos' Temple of Life. Killing these fish to get
their corpses will cause faction to go down with Qeynos Guards,
Clerics of Life and the god Rodcet Nife himself. I have heard
rumours that fishing in the temple lake can sometimes drag up one
of these fishes, but a high skill is required. Whether this is true,
and exactly what "high" means, I do not know. Perhaps any
master fishers might like to try?
3rd Stage Component:
Barkeeps' Compendium(LORE)(NODROP) from Gregor in East
Freeport, who wants the Honey Jum, Erud's Tonic, Kiola Nut and
Koalindl Fish for the book.
After getting the book, this stage involves making a run to Oggok,
where there are LOTS of big, ugly (and very red) ogres, and giving
this book to Clurg the bartender there. He will then cough up a
Stein.
After much hunting by our scavenger team comprising Einan,
Leshrec and Ziltus, led by Sereph and myself, we managed to get
1st and 2nd stage components.
Our FedEx operative Ziltus then pieced together all these pieces
and passed them to my Enchanter waiting in Freeport. I then
exchanged the four 3rd stage items to get the Barkeeps'
Compendium(NODROP), ran to Oggok, where I "became" a Dark
Elf, waltzed in to see Clurg, cast Alliance to improve my faction,
and made the exchange. Then, I gated outta there faster than you
can say "stinky ogre ass".
The only worry I have is this negative faction with Kazon
Stormhammer, the Dwarven King.
So, all you kakis who want to get their hands on a Stein, better
start hunting those stage 1 and 2 components. (We've got lots of
Kiola Nuts though...)
It also seems a good source of income. I believe the Steins can
easily go for 400 plat a pop, probably more. Hey, Fedex Ziltus...
need some extra cash? *heh*
