Go to the Steppes
/targ ulkag
/hailt

Now you have quest: Duskmold

Go to Vergalid Mines
/targ vergailid

Look on the map where he is and find two Doomshriek Mushrooms close by him in the upper east section of Vergalid's room. Kill and loot these mushrooms at your leisire, non-aggro, no adds as long as you dont push the mushroom into anything else, Vergalid does not attack you unless you piss him off.

Now you need the other 2 mushrooms. There is a mushroom not heavily watched at /loc 143 -1687 -558. It has one roamer, sometimes with a pet, and one level 10 or so mob who won't mess with you of course. Trick is you kill the mushroom in between passes from the roamer. I am a rogue, all i have to do is stop attacking and hide until he passes. Non rogues can /warp succor, use instant invis potions, or if you're cheap like me and want to be safer than popping in and out of succor spot in a busy zone I'd create a waypoint up near the other two mushrooms were, most people lack the ability to get to Vergalid and when they get there he scares the crap outta them anyways.

These mushrooms have a high regen rate, level 73, they give an experience message but zero experienece. After looting one mushroom, have patience and wait for it to respawn, repeat and you have your 4 mushrooms that you need for the quest.

Go back to the Steppes

Deliver 4 parts to Ulkag

Done!
 
For further reference you must update the task by falling down the hole to enter the mines and also by entering the ancient city at Loc 570, -2020, -570. Once you get both those tasks updates then you can go on to retrieve your mushrooms. =)
 
Bsty pet FTW on the second part invis up, and send pet in. Just let pet kill the twitering mound.

Roamer walks right by you while pet claws away :) as long as you invis.

Also agro mushroom when roamer is pathed away for initial attack or he will attack.

I got it where i could attack, nuke, dot ,and then invis up before he comes back.

Pet will push the mushroom far, so if you pet hold then just push pet atk 1 second later mushroom will path back to original spawn point. Just keep pet attacking

Doing it now, so far it's working fine. The mushrooms do not attack back (completely soloable) and I am doing with an enchanters pet. About 25 minutes per kill with it, but still.
 
symbol line of spells does not stack with aegolism line of spells while it DOES stack with the druid skin line of spells.
 
Poor Rangers...no pet to do it with : (

Rangers... go get yourself the Gnollslayer, it has two charges of the shaman lvl 35 wolf pet. Give it mage weps.

Go to Qeynos Hills and talk to the male merchant in the shack in the middle of the zone. Go to Blackburrow and kill everything until Lord Elgnub spawns..kill him and get baby joseph sayer. Take baby (doll icon) back to merchant and get the base gnoll slayer weapon. Read the text he tells you. Now go to Karana, the one with the Aviaks and the splitpaw zone in. Keep checking that zone until you find one-eyed gnoll spawned and kill it for the eye and also look for a Lleth Val Scribe, kill it for the tome (both are trackable from zone in if you do not have MQ up). Now take the tome, the eye, and the base gnoll slayer back to the merchant in Qeynos Hills and he will turn it into the final gnoll slayer which has two charges of a pet.

I already had the gnollslayer(final) in the bank, so will use it for this orb strat.

Just thought I would share.

Cheers,

or you can push the mushroom in the opposite dir of mobs, i don't remember which, but when i did this a few months ago, there were mushrooms of both kinds that had no mobs around them, just had to look hard to find the one kind without any mobs,

Now you need the other 2 mushrooms. There is a mushroom not heavily watched at /loc 143 -1687 -558. It has one roamer, sometimes with a pet, and one level 10 or so mob who won't mess with you of course. Trick is you kill the mushroom in between passes from the roamer.

did this back in october with a druid, rogue, and shaman all solo.
 
the shrooms do not attack, that is true, but they will riposte and they do hit hard. My ranger got riposted for 1.2k a few times from being in front of shrooms (not exactly easy to tell where back is). So autoattacking shrooms and going afk not always best idea (meaning the ones in verg room).
 
I do this quest Alot for many of my guild members.. Its amazing how many turn a blind eye and don't ask questiions when there getting warped right to the shrooms... hehe The clicky rocks
 
How do you warp others?

Anyways I noticed some having a difficult time due to not having pets or whatnot, you can make a safe waypoint somewhere and just keep an eye out for the roamer, warp when the roamer comes near and warp back when he's gone.
 
when i warp to the tunnels by verg i always get killed by see invis/ anyone have any idea's?
 
I'm at work now. But when I get home I'll post a SAFE point LOC to get the two twitering mushrooms on the ramp of the mines.. To get the others just /warp the the big dragon. As for warping others around just bring your mage box. Most MQers have every toon on some account. The safe loc I will post will alow you to /warp a mage to the safe point UNVISED and your RIGHT next to the mushrooms.. I have had 2 gruops parked there before while pets kill and we talk waiting to loot. I wish /gank would work on chest's and stuff but doesnt seem to /itemtarget even if I have the chest/shroom manually targeted.

____________________________________back from work
Here is the LOC info I use for all dusk mold missions OR if you just want to buff and setup to kill on spiral ramp or the names in the piss ponds.
83.71 -1403.32 -502.57 ..... I use MQ2Wrwarp

You can loot from Zl though if you /ghost on, /target, /warp target, /loot
 
Bard has hide and sneak so i imagine he could do it the same way i did it on the rogue, no cheating except the warp because i wasn't keyed.
