Ringo can be found initially in a small cave on Fire Plume Ridge at location 51, 50 to complete the quest to "find" him. Once you find him, he'll give you a new quest "A Little Help From My Friends" and you escort him back to Marshal's Refuge.

The escort part isn't tough because you lead Ringo, and so you can avoid mobs on your walk back (and you have like 25 minutes to do it.) You have a little canteen of water in your inventory that you were given from Spraggle when you were sent out to find Ringo, called "Spraggle's Canteen"- watch for Ringo to say things like "Ugghhh" or "I'm feeling faint" ... those are indications that he is about to faint, and will need to be revived with the water from the little canteen in order to proceed.

I put the canteen in an empty slot in my hotbar for the duration of this quest. I kept Ringo targeted when he faints, you lose him as a target, so even if I missed his cues like "uggh ... the heat, it's getting to me...", as soon as I noticed I'd lost him as a target I knew I needed to revive him. Simply click the canteen in order to give him some water and revive him.

Easy as pie :)

edit: It's a year and a half later or so, and I thought I'd add a few notes, seeing as how I'm doing this now on my Horde character. First of all, thanks for the + rates :) I'm glad my comments have helped! Second, thank you for clarifying that he is in the cave on the map and NOT on the top level of Fire Plume Ridge, StringAnomaly :) Also, thirdly, thank you for pointing out that you don't have to have Ringo targeted for the canteen to work, Cinosh! I only had him targeted because when he faints, you lose him as a target and so it sometimes helps you notice when he faints in case you miss his spoken cues :) I've edited the text a little to make that clearer. I appreciate it!

And now, my edits... the exact coordinates of the south eastern slope on Fire Plume Ridge where I went up are 55.26, 49.86. If you go up the SE slope there, you'll encounter one Scorching Elemental mob between you and the cave. Once up the slope at 54, 50 you can easily see the mouth of the cave where you'll find Ringo. Grab him and head back down the same way you came up!

Good luck!

This got me 2800 XP and no reputation adjustment. I did it at level 53.

Another pop culture reference by Blizzard.

Ringo was the drummer of the Beatles, and "Little Help from my Friends" is a Beatles song off the album Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Rock on :)

make sure you get the right cave. there is a nasty elite in one near mountain top.

This quest works fine, and it's very easy if you are level 50+. When getting to the cave (52,50) you will see Fire Elementals (not elites) and they hit hard, both range (some of them-can't remember type) and melee, but nothing scary: 150+hp strikes,&nbsp They do not respawn too quickly either.&nbsp

If you get there and he is not there, it is possible that someone is on the quest. If you abandon the quest (for whatever reason) destroy the canteen to be certain to get it again. There was a bug in the quest (check earlier posts) and not sure if completely fixed.

When escorting little man, he will faint a couple times. Here's what I noticed: He faints about 1 second before the canteen cooldown, so make sure that you are far from potential mobs. I guess he will keep fainting until you get there, but I never tested it. As long as you be careful to go between mobs, the quest should take about 5-10 min (depending on your elusive path back...lol) Took me 7 minutes, nice XP too!

Hope this helps!
Good Luck and Happy Hunting! :)
