Quest NPC: Burgomaster Delvin in Forkwatch E, Sondereel Village.
Tail Quest NP: Corindas in Forkwatch E, Sondereel Village.

Borgomaster Delvin will ask you to escort Lionell Riddick safely through the Salt Mines. Travel to the Salt Mines (W) and locate Riddick in the mine. Descend the spiraling stairwell, he spawns in the first adjacent room. After you have spoken with Riddick he will be begin to ascend the stairwell. When he reaches the top of the stairwell the person who triggered him should receive a pop-up. There have been issues where other characters with the quest log have received it, so keep back. Once he is clear of the stairwell 3 mobs will spawn and engage him. They will con the same level as the person who recieved the pop-up. One is a nec, the other two melee. After the mobs have been defeated Riddick will continue on his way. When he reaches the courtyard he will again be ambushed by the same types of mobs. Defeat the mobs and accompany Riddick to the tree. Once there, have the person who triggered him speak with him. This will update their log. Return to the Burgomaster for the second part of the quest.

Travel north from GM into Kelinar (SW) There, you should find Herman Forrestor. After you have spoken with him back-up quickly to avoid aggroing the mobs which spawn. Three hunters will spawn to assist Herman. They will con dark blue to the person who has triggered the quest. Herman will con white. Engage each mob individually and assure the person with the quest logged is in-group when Herman is killed. Their quest log should then be updated. Return to the Burgomaster and collect your reward.

You will now be required to log the tail quest with Corindas. Do so and begin farming the appropriate lionwere. After you have received the infection pop-up you will be asked to hunt down Jensen in the South Crossroads zone. He can be found roaming near the main road. He cons red to the person whom triggers him. He is triggered when you log this portion of the quest. Bring assistance.

"Were" to get infected:

The Hunt (lvl 60 - confirmed)
Abysmal Sea (lvl 55-60 - confirmed)
South Barren Coast (lvl 50 - confirmed)
Fort Alliance
Centaur Valley
Desert Hate
Forkwatch
Toxxulia South
Elephant Graveyard

 

Were-tips:


In Centaur Valley ( SE ) there are tons of Lionweres which are good fo rbuilding up faction. They are not the right type to infect, except for a few rare spawns, but they are great for very quick faction building.

Before turning in the item from Merry-By-Water, read the following scenarios which will help you get the last mob everytime. Zipnik is a Quest Triggered Mob...and only spawns within about 10 minutes of someone logging the final part of the abiltity quest. I wasted several hours there and would have wasted many more had it not been for Elysium and Ortez. I couldn't bear to let any more people get shafted or "unwillingly" steal Zipnik from someone else. Also, if you have had it logged and didn't get your mob right away, you have to start the ENTIRE QUEST over. (Devs should at least make it so you just have to relog the last part IMO)

a.) If you can't coach there and are solo, you should go grab a mob, drag him back to the spawn point of Zipnik (between to stone walls near Zentar Lake to the left of the entrance to Zentar's Keep), and let him kill you. Go log the quest and rez yourself back, buff and kill Zipnik.

b.) If you can coach to Zentar and you are solo, turn in the piece to the QG in Sondereel Village, then hurry and coach safetly to Zentars. Go to the spawn point, it should spawn between 1 to 5 minutes after you arrive. I recommend FW, Qeynos, Wyndhaven, Zentar's Keep route. (going to other cities could get you "marked" and you won't make it in time)

c.) If you are in a group, send group to Zentar before you log final part of quest. Once they are there, log the quest and coach or rez back to Zentar and get your mob.
