A Little Help From My Friends

Lead Ringo to Spraggle Frock at Marshal's Refuge.

If Ringo faints, use Spraggle's Canteen to revive him.

	Escort Ringo to Spraggle Frock at Marshal's Refuge

Provided Item:

	Spraggle's Canteen

Description

Ugh... It's so hot...

I was exploring this area, when all of a sudden, the heat just became unbearable. I must be suffering from heat exhaustion.

Please, help me get back to my friend Spraggle at Marshal's Refuge. I think I'm well enough to follow you there.

I am feeling a little out of it, so if I do happen to faint again, just splash some water on me from Spraggle's canteen. That should work, I hope...

A song made by the beatles is called A little help from my friends, the guy you escort also got the same name as the drummer in the Beates Ringo.

At the same time I was also doing the Volcanic Activity quest, so the fire elementals were nicely cleared out when I went to revive Ringo. He follows you like a pet, so it was very easy to lead him back to Marshall's Refuge. There wasn't a single aggro, so the only real challenge to this is to not lose sight of Ringo when he faints because he becomes almost invisible lying in the green foliage of the crater floor. I kept the target lock on him at all times and watched the chat log. As soon as he says "uggh" turn and make sure you see where he drops because you'll even lose the target lock when he does. I had to revive him about 5-6 times, but a very easy quest.

Beatles Reference - The Song is "With a Little Help from my Friends" and for the quest you need to find somebody named Ringo :) Props to Blizzard's creativity

Ringo is found in a small cave on the mountain in the center of Un'Goro Crater. Check pinktoque's comment on Ringo's page (Click Ringo's name in the "Quick Facts" area.) for coordinates.

This is an easy quest. You have to escort Ringo back to Spraggle Frock at Marshal's Refuge within the time limit. Along the way, Ringo will faint, requiring you to use the canteen to revive him. Even with these delays, you still have more then enough time to get to Marshal's Refuge.

Just so you know, the canteen has a cooldown (Around 45 seconds) before it can be used again. If he faints before the cooldown is up, don't panic and just wait for the cooldown to finish.

I like all the references blizzard put in here. There's so many to count.

Unlike other escort quests, you can choose your own path of getting back to Marshal's.

I chose going around the volcanos (volcanoes?) to the right and straight north.

Pay attention to what Ringo says. If he says anything to the affect that he's dizzy or feeling sick, that means he's about to faint.

I was able to finish this with 12 minutes to spare.

Ringo's a decent fighter. Pay attention to where YOU'RE going (in other words, avoid enemies) and you should be fine.

Other than Ringo, "I never needed anybody's HELP in any way" :)

I screwed this up once, but the quest is actually easy as long as you pay attention to keeping him alive and keeping mobs off of him and yourself.

If you can't easily take on more than one mob here, bring a friend, otherwise you will have problems when he aggros a few at a time.&nbsp Also, if you are on a PvP server, people *normally* leave you alone when they see an escort, but some people can be complete jerks and will kill you while you run him to the camp /

Edit: He is kind of hard to get to, but run up the main ramp to the top of the mountain/volcano/whatever you want to call it, and on the back side there is a little drop off to his cave.&nbsp If you fail, or if someone has just done it, he takes maybe 10 minutes to re-spawn.

I've completed this twice now each time at level 52 (once Warlock, once Hunter) and it is really easy with a little thought.

30 minutes (the time you get to escort) is ages so simply take your time and take a long route around all the mobs.

Even if you aggro one mob it is still easy because they're all 50-52ish after you've left the 54 elementals behind.

Finally, you get Spraggles Canteen in your backpack after the quest. Ditch it, it's useless.

Ringo says:

When you receiving quest:
- Well, I'm not sure how far I'll make it in this state... I'm feeling kind of faint...
- Remember, if I faint again, the water that Spraggle gave you will revive me.

Sometimes, when he will fall to the ground he says one of phrases:
- The heat... I can't take it...
- Maybe... you could carry me?
- Uuuuuuggggghhhhh....
- I'm not feeling so well...

When he standing up, he can say one of the following:
- Where... Where am I?
- I am feeling a little better now, thank you.
- Yes, I must go on.
- How am I feeling? Quite soaked, thank you.

And when quest is complete, there are dialog with Spraggle:
00:00 Ringo: Spraggle! I didn't think I'd make it back!
00:03 Spraggle Frock: Ringo! You're okay!
00:08 Ringo: Oh... I'm feeling faint...
00:09 - Ringo falls on the ground
00:18 - Ringo standing up
00:19 Ringo: Ugh.
00:22 Spraggle Frock: Ringo? Wake up! Don't worry, I'll take care of you.
01:04 - Ringo disappears...

After running around the mountain and running into Blazerunner about 5 times, I thought I might give some directions to some other that might be coming across the same problems.&nbsp =)

To find Ringo the path to his cave starts at 52, 56 (which is a little above the U in "Fire Plume Ridge" on the map).&nbsp His is the right cave if you're looking at your map.&nbsp Go around the pool of lava and continue up that path (it looks steep, but completely scalable).&nbsp Take a right... you'll see his cave to the left.&nbsp

I got ganked by a shaman at the entrance to the refuge, and probably again wile I'm typing this. I spent 15 mins looking for the little bastard's body and I couldn't find it to revive it. It's nowhere around where I died. Moral of the story is: don't die while you do this.

- Clear a path up the mountain
- Talk to Ringo
- Accept the escort quest
- Put the Spraggle's Canteen on a button / key for quick access
- Run towards Marshall's refuge
- Watch the chat, when he starts saying "can't take the heat.." run back and use the canteen
- Keep moving and you'll do fine

I solo'ed this as 51 priest, shadow spec. I only encountered 1 mob the entire escort, and it was my choice to fight it.&nbsp It was a lvl 51 tar mob, he was standing in the wrong spot... too bad

Move the canteen to an action bar.. He will faint, you will need to revive ringo every few minutes with it.&nbsp

Just kill the fire mobs first b4 u start the quest.&nbsp The path you want is to the right of the cave...if you are facing the cave...then follow the path to the bridge on the north side..

Now heal/mana up and start the quest by clicking on him.

You get 25 minutes to get him back to the refuge. Take your time.&nbsp I did it in 5 minutes.

For being a level 55 quest this sure isn't hard. If you plan right you don't even have to fight.

However part of it is luck on if you have a fire elemental near the cave or not and all.

He will follow you, so you lead him around. Annoying when he faints, but only mildly annoying if your lucky.

Again he follows you, so just be slow (to keep up with him) and work on avoiding mobs and it isn't hard at all.

I did it in 9 minutes and I didn't even fight one mob. I was so lucky. I'm a human level 54 warlock. First, a Tauren warrior cleared the road down the mountain for me and then even said farewell. Then a Tyranosaurus almost attacks me but a gnome came in between and aggroed him, and ran away taking dino with him. And eventually I reached the refuge avoiding the rest of the mobs. Easy.

Man as I was so close to the refuge, he fainted again but this time I couldnt spot his body to revive him. It was all plants around and I couldnt see where he was.

It failed but when I wanted to do the quest (which in essence is very easy at 54) i can t get it anymore :( dont have the canteen either

i guess its gone forever...

It helps to keep Ringo targeted. Just before he faints, he'll drop as your target, giving you a heads up that he's about to pass out. Also read your general chat box as he'll give you a clue that he's feeling light headed.

Just did this with a level 53 Warrior real easy quest. You can avoid all the mods on your way back, but I found it easier to just fight them and make a clear straight shot to Spraggle Frock for Ringo. Anyways, I did run into a little snag when I was coming out of the cave I was attacked by 3 mobs all level 54+. I'm sure they are just ones the rome around there, but I died really fast because Ringo fainted and I couldn't revive him to leave. So moral to this story is you can die and Ringo will stay right were you left him waiting for water :D. So you can res and then continue on your way, pretty cool. Also, I only revived him about 5 times.

Tried doing this yesterday, Ringo refused to move, never 'fainted' and I used the canteen on him just in case, and after about 30 seconds he'd just vanish, couldn't get the quest complete, failed it a few times just letting the timer run out since he was no where to be found.

Although I did this at level 60, as other posters mentioned below it is dead easy. All I had to kill was one fire elemental that I cleared before accepting the quest, and after that one of them slime things that I bumped into because it was hidden by a bush. You can choose your own path an just have to use the water from your inventory whenever Ringo faints.

The plate leggings are a nice tanking item with their +1% dodge.

Yeah Blizzard is great at getting it right and
injecting things we loved as kids into the
game. Such as Fraggle Rock, Beatles, etc...
Another trivial fact for those to young to
remember- Land of the Lost TV show. The
whole Ungoro crater has many references to
that series. Even down to the name Marshal
which was the name of the lead character.

Irrelivent to the quest but thought some
people might find it interesting.

This quest is very easy. I soloed it with a lvl 53 warrior, and my latency was in the 400's...meaning i didnt know Ringo fainted til about...2 or 3 minutes later when it said "ugh.." lol

Its really easy. Just try to avoid all of the creatures, then get him all the way up to marshals refuge. Its really not as bad as it looks, its actually quite fun :)
