Hinterlands Honey Ripple (10)

Description

I possess original packaging materials for the ripple Dran Droffers seeks. I will assist you in packaging the ripple for Malton's abrasive father... for a fee of two additional bottles of said ripple. They are located in crates found in the abandoned Horde base near Skulk Rock.

It will be an arduous task, to wit; foul slimes and oozes will be found sticking to the ruins; rumor has it they are led by some sort of master ooze. Regardless, procure the ripple and return to me here for packaging.

Just wanted to clarify that the crates spawn INSIDE the cave only.&nbsp The quest giver and some others were sounding like they spawned outside but I wasted a lot of time to find out otherwise.

Relatively straight forward quest. Boxes are in Skull Rock, and may require some wait in the event you don't get the required number. They respawn at a decent rate. Was able to get 10 after one trip through.

If you are an Herbalist, make sure you skill level is high enough to get the 3 or 4 Ghost Mushroom spawns inside.

The quest can be returned to Gilveradin Sunchaser in the Shindigger's Camp in Hinterlands. Coordinates 26,48 (northwest Hinterlands, in the hills between Aerie Peak and Quel'danil Lodge)

You do not have to stick to the Cavern btw. The ruins to the west of the cave, the one infested with oozes also has the crates. Some near the water and at least 4 in the centre scattered around the ruins.

Ruins are called Agol'Watha.

I was bored and not in a fighting mood so I decided to test the theory that you could get all your Honey Ripple bottles from the crate by the waterfall in 5 trips and 25 minutes (respawn every 5 minutes) as suggested above.

The initial crate and the first respawn produced 1 bottle each plus food. The 3rd and 4th crates produced 3 bottles each plus more food. The 5th crate provided 3 more bottles (for 11 in total) and more food.

However, the average respawn rate of the crate was 10 to 12 minutes, so completing the quest this way will take about 50 minutes .

If your a fisherman this may be your idea of a good time...but you get less exp points in the process (not killing anything) and fewer drops etc...so you'll have to decide if this is the best way to complete this quest.

The "master ooze" referenced in the quest is likely The Reak, which can be found to the south and west of Skulk Rock.

The slimes weren't hard and almost all could be pulled without agroing the others. Boxes dropped 1-3 each so only needed to find 4-5. Easy.

For those of you wondering, you get these from the horde supply crates (as stated in the text) however what the text doesn't say is that the crates aren't around the base actually.. They are found mostly in that cave system that runs under it. Plenty of slimes guarding them, all around 46-48. Also, these pop out of crates in 2s normally, sometimes even 3.

I would recommend emptying the boxes instead of just taking the bottles. It will make it a lot easier to distinguish between looted and unlooted quest items.

Up by the Waterfall at 47,38 a single crate spawns in the area, all I did was wait the 5 min respawn of the crate 5 times. easy lol

The bottles is found in Horde Supply Crates.
The crates are found inside Skulk Rock and in the Agol'Watha ruin (or something :P)

So you get this quest at lvl 42. But all the mobs are lvl 46 and up. I was able to get half the bottles needed. Lvl 43 hunter. But it's way to hard to get around the cave. Deff. somthing to wait for. or bring a friend...or two

If you're working on Cannibalistic Cousins, Hunt the Savages, Vilebranch Hooligans, and any other quests that takes you around the skull rock area, you don't actually have to go into the cave to complete this quest. At the cave's entrance, there is a box that spawns about 5 minutes between looting.

If you hate killing slimes that drop no loot and are on a server where not too many people are leveling, this is a nearly painless way to complete this quest. It took me 4 loots.

Anyone ever see anything like this "master ooze"? Bottles are in crates which spawn mad slowly around the camp (west of Rock) so you kinda have to keep it clear, never saw any kind of boss dude though.

The prior poster was correct, but he's seeing the glass as half-empty rather than half full.&nbsp The box by the waterfall is an excellent excuse to build up your fishing skill simply grab the crate the first time, and then set your line until it respawns.&nbsp You can get some good fishing time done without being totally bored out of your skull, and you can finish this quest at the lowest possible level without having to kill a single mob.

well it only took me 5 mins if that long. Don't wait for the crates to re-spawn.

Found 2 crates in slime ruins just west of skulk rock cave, then 1 crate outside skulk rock entrance, then at least 4 crates inside the cave.

afaik the slimes can't swim and behind the rock near the river (no loc, it's been a while) is a crate which you can open, loot and run to the water until the slimes stop following, incase ya wanna do this solo at a low lvl

Just go inside the cave, kill the slimes grab the crates, if you can't find the cave look on your map. Very easy quest, did alone at lvl 46 ICE Mage.
