Othmir Prexus Totem: Quest Giver Ate Turn In

Faction was apprehensive ( base faction), he responded to quest dialogue and stated

"I'm sorry strange one. That is not sufficient barter" 3 times which either means that it is a MQ able quest so these were the items he was looking for.

However bc my faction is apprehensive I did not get rewarded?


Anyone know the min faction for this quest?

Will try at indifferent later tonight via hide turn in

Faction shouldn't be the issue. Which items did you turn in?

I remember this needing 2x seaweed and for some time ppl thought u needed 2 eggs also but I believe that was just 1. I think this can be found archived on Druids grove will post link when I get to PC I have issues linking from my phone.

Ok found archive from 2001 it's 2 seaweed and 2 fisheggs s mentioned but not confirmed in that post. Still plan on linking it later but I see Rogean found similar info

From what I can tell the quest calls for 2 fish eggs, so your hand in would have bene incorrect. However our script is also looking for 2 seaweeds as well. I'll leave it up to nilbog to look at.

Update:

I turned in a 4th item, a second fish egg as R has mentioned and it did not reward me

so I guess we need someone to confirm what this pesky Othmir is looking for

You missed this part, Erati.

NPCs accept stacked items now?

I didnt think it allowed you to even put multiple items in a trade window with an npc

I just got the totem on the beta. You need 1 meat, 2 eggs, and 2 seaweed. You cannot stack the eggs, I tried. Basically you are forced to MQ it by turning in the 5 items over two hand ins. Specifically I handed in Egg, Egg, Seaweed, Meat, then handed in a 2nd Seaweed by itself.

I remember doing this back in Velious and the information even then was spotty about whether it was 2 fish eggs or 1 fish eggs. It certainly didn't help that the item is the plural version of egg, which probably caused most of the confusion about whether or not it required 1 or 2 fish egg[b]s[/s].

I unfortunately can't remember off the top of my head what I had to turn in for my totem.

Turn in the following to the Othmir, Bloggy Shellcracker, in Cobalt Scar.

Fish Eggs
Sea Dragon Meat
Saltwater Seaweed x 2

Thunder Salmon (fished in the Karanas) plus a skinning knife (the one that player-smiths make for tailors), combined in a tacklebox = two fish eggs, two fish scales, returning skinning knife. Not trivial at 92, trivial at 180.

Sea Dragon Meat is dropped by Kelorek`Dar and Faydedar.

Saltwater Seaweed is fished in Ocean of Tears. No drop, can be acquired with skill less than 100.

Got this info from someone in our guild, not positive of the accuracy.

You DEFINITELY need two fish eggs and two seaweeds, though why the quest text doesn't reflect this I just don't know.

Just a note regarding faction; You can indeed turn in the items to Bloogy and get the totem back if your faction is "apprehensive." I know; I tried.

This quest requires two (2) fish eggs (can be stacked), two (2) saltwater seaweeds, and one (1) sea dragon meat. Possibly water dragon meat as well, but unconfirmed at this time.

I have PERSONALLY completed this quest 3 times in the last 2 hours, I am 100% sure of the ingredients and amounts (I had 3 meat stashed in the bank from various Kelorak'Dar killings, and passed out the totems to guildies).


Saltwater seaweed is a nodrop item fished in Ocean of Tears.

Fish eggs is made by combining a player-made skinning knife with Thunder Salmon in a tackle box. Each salmon produces a stack of 2 eggs. Thunder Salmon are fished in the Karanas. I fished it in West Karana specifically.

Actually, this seems to be incorrect, by what I did last night.

I handed Bloogy Shellcracker one item at a time. I handed him one fish eggs and he responded with, "Sorry, strange one, that is not enough to barter with". I handed him a second fish eggs and he responded with, "I'm...erm, not quite sure what to do with this, but....thanks, I guess." Meaning, he only needed 1 fish egg. I then handed him a Saltwater Seaweed, and he responded with the message of not being enough to barter with. I handed him a second Seaweed, and he gave the "I don't know what to do with this" message. Meaning he only needed 1 Seaweed. I then handed in my Saltwater Dragonmeat and obtained a Totem.
