<<<Needs information. Caninel and Micc Koter involved>>>

Step 1: The Severed Paw (Qeynos Catacombs)

Before you start Step 1, make sure you have 1 empty space for a container.

This Paw comes from Vin Moltor in Qeynos Catacombs. There are two ways to acquire it:

• Killing him (25% drop rate), typically an hour or so camp before you get the paw. Killing him results in hits to the following factions: Antonius Bayle, Coalition of Tradefolk, Guards of Qeynos, Merchants of Qeynos. So if you have to kill him 4 times to get the Paw it may be too much of a faction hit for you.

• Alternatively you can use Skill Baking (or hire a baker) to produce a Rat Ear Pie (Trivial 142 Baking, but is so easy/cheap to make you should have no problems creating it at 135 baking). See the Baking Quick Leveling Guide if you would like to level your baking. 1-135 will take about an hour.

Both strategies take about the same amount of time. The latter is recommended because you get to keep leveled baking. (You will need it one day for the amazing Shawl quest in Thurgadin).

Optional Baking Route:

If you are going to kill him, skip this section. Otherwise, you will need:

• 1x Rat Ear Pie
• 3x Bottles of Kalish

For the Rat Ear Pie, you will need either 1x Giant Rat Ear, or 2x Rat Ears. To get these, either:

• Farm the rats in North Qeynos or the ones in Qeynos Catacombs
• Purchase Rat Ears from Katha Firespinner in East Commonlands.

Once you have the ear(s), visit Karn Tassen in South Qeynos. He sells the Baking Spirits and Cup of Flour. There is an oven in the same building that you can use as well. Once you have the Uncooked Rat Ear Pie, place it in the oven by itself to receive a Rat Ear Pie. Note that if you fail either combine, you will need to reacquire the rat ear(s) and try again.

Once you have the Rat Ear Pie, visit McNeal Jocub (-244, -261) (Inside Fish's Ale, back room). Purchase 3x Bottles of Kalish.

Spawning Vin Moltor:

No matter which path you decided to take, you need to spawn the bastard. Head down to Qeynos Catacombs through the North Qeynos Fake wall (339,-162), East of Qeynos Gate.

Once inside go straight ahead, until you hit a T intersection. That's your camp. Kill everything that roams in the area (see picture) until Vin spawns (735.8, -103.75) ~5 min respawn timer, just stand on the green spot on the floor and face West. He is level 24 and is NOT a rare spawn, it could take you anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes to spawn him (He could already be up).

Either kill him or hand the Rat Ear Pie along with the 3 (unstacked) Bottles of Kalish to Vin. NOTE - You can not Hail him, and he moves around, so just give him items as you follow him. He will give you the Severed Paw.

Step 2: Gynok Moltor (Befallen)

Platinum Ring (Lore Version) - Drops from Gynok Moltor at the Entrance of Befallen. (loc -77, -44, +3)

The reason you want to get the Platinum ring first is because there is a chance you will get the Gold, Silver or Copper rings off of Gynok Moltor too (he has a chance to drop all 4 rings, but platinum is the most common drop).

Gynok is lvl 24-25. VERY rare spawn (his spawn rate appears to be about 0.5%-2% chance on a 16 minute timer). His PH can be a large skeleton, icebone skeleton, large rat, giant rat, putrid rat, or ghoul. The PH spawns in the center of the "two" exit hallways, next to a static bone on the floor and paths through the locked door down to lower levels of the dungeon and back. WARNING! It usually takes a lot of time to get him (10h+ of camping, and it is possible to take even as much as 30-40 hours). PH respawn timer is exactly 16 minutes.

No matter what the placeholder for Gynok is, it will always say "-target- shouts, 'Grrrraaaaaaaaugggggh! You have disturbed my rest! Suffer as I have!'" when it spawns, and "-target- says, 'You have disturbed my sleep, you will never find the paw!'" when aggroed. Note that they say this every spawn, whether or not Gynok will be next.

Step 3: Copper Ring (Ring of Opolla) / Silver Ring (Ring of Opolla) / Gold Ring (Ring of Opolla)

There is a chance you have gotten some or all of these while camping Gynok Moltor for the Platinum Ring. Note that these are Lore rings, not the non-lore ones you get from random mobs or buy from vendors. The three remaining rings are all obtainable from the Fungus Mutant in Upper Guk. All three rings are supposed to be obtainable from High Priestess Mitty in Kerra Isle, however it seems like this might not be the case on p99 (see below). You can farm either creature for this step.

The Silver Ring (Ring of Opolla) is the easiest of the three to acquire. It can be found as a static ground pickup at the bottom of the lake in Blackburrow. Enter Blackburrow from Qeynos Hills, run straight, jump into the lake, then swim to the ground (loc +37, -50, -225). However the below methods for acquiring the other rings will often yield the Silver Ring (Ring of Opolla), so this should only be done if it is the only ring you still need.

The Fungus Mutant (Upper Guk)

Fungus Mutant Location

Each of the remaining rings can be obtained by handing Melixis on Kerra Isle an item that drops off of the Fungus Mutant.

• Guk Bracket Mildew (~75% drop rate) -> Copper Ring (Ring of Opolla)
• Faerix Spores (~20% drop rate) -> Silver Ring (Ring of Opolla)
• Degenerated Guk Weed (~5% drop rate) -> Gold Ring (Ring of Opolla)

The Fungus Mutant is a lvl 23-25 druid in Upper Guk. The camp is solo-able for a lvl 31 Druid. He has no placeholder and spawns every 16 minutes and 30 seconds. At a minimum, you should be level 29+ to attempt soloing this. If you have never been to Upper Guk before, there is a good chance you will be non-KOS to the Frogloks, making travel much easier. The Superior Camouflage spell will also allow you to travel within the dungeon. The Fungus mobs are on the same faction as the Frogloks (Frogloks of Guk). Killing the whole room did not lower my faction enough to make me KOS. It should be easy enough to separate the mobs one by one by root/rotting them one at a time (lvl 35).

Strategy

I would argue mutant is pretty easily soloable for a druid at 29 and could probably be done lower although it would be much more difficult without Immolate and Combust. For easy splitting, start with the two wandering mobs. If you're patient you can easily single pull them when the pathing is right. I preferred to pull to the southeastern corner where the wall juts out - you can use this to your advantage by rooting the casting mobs on one side and blocking their casting by going to the opposite side. Once the two wandering mobs are gone, root the mutant and burn down the static spawn that's close to him, and as soon as the static spawn is dead re-root mutant as needed and camp out. Load back in the game and you have an easy peasy single pull on the mutant. Killing the mutant + static spawn at the same time is easy enough at 29 with barely any gear, but I preferred this method to break up the spawn timers. (There is an alternate method for a druid @ 29 to get mutant single - use the social aggro of a pathing mob to aggro the static spawn without aggroing mutant but this is less reliable imo) The only thing you have to watch for is the infrequent froglok that paths through the room.

[EDIT/Spoiler] Don't read if you want to figure out how to crack the room yourself.... Without needing to clear the room: Druid with Ensnaring Roots, CC, Immolate, Combust. Stand at LOC 546,145 facing West toward Mutant. Root, DOT x2, Combust until dead. As long as Root doesn't break, even the trackers don't agro. If Root does break it only pulls the static spawn just to the left (between camp and mutant) If everything goes sideways just gate. Should save on faction hits 09/20/23 [Green server]

Alternatively: High Priestess Mitty (as opposed to "Khonza Mitty of Kerra") is still in Kerra Isle on p99 and always drops either the copper or the gold ring (On Green Server, Prietess does not drop Gold Ring. Only Silver and copper ring). (Edit 12/05/16 Also dropped Silver Ring). Camping in the castle for a couple of hours should prove fruitful. She, or her priestess PH, is located at #2 on the Kerra Isle map. A 20ish priest class with a reasonable group will have no problems here.

Step 4: Melixis (Kerra Isle)

Melixis on Kerra Isla

Once you have Spores/Mildew/Weed (or Mildew/Weed if you grabbed silver ring from Blackburrow), head to Kerra Island via Toxxulia Forest (SW from Druid Rings, NW from Wizard Rings).

Once in Kerra Isle head to (loc +522, +170, +17) and hand in the Spores/Mildew/Weed one at a time in exchange for the rings.

Note: Even if you're scowling to Kerra Isle, there's a good chance Melixis will be indifferent to you.

Put the 4 rings into the Severed Paw and Combine. WARNING! If you already have a Paw in your inventory, you will destroy your materials by hitting combine.
