Need help with a couple of Taldor Malath quests

Greetings and salutations, I spend most of my time doing quests and here's a couple I'm stuck on. The quests I've done so far have been very fun and are well written.

In Taldor Malath, there's a frog named Mrigol in Starlight music who says this:

Mrigol says, 'Huh? Yeah... redwood. It's rare stuff that used to come from a sort of tree that only grew around the lake where the Scarlet Desert is today. I heard some of it can still be found around there, but I'm a performer, not an explorer. Hey... maybe you'd like to earn a bit of coin? Go get me some redwood... I think three pieces should do for a lute, and I'll reward you for your efforts.'

I've spent a couple of hours exploring Scarlet desert and slaying various hoppers, crawlers, monks, cheetahs, and basically anything that moves and haven't found a hint of rewood.

I've asked around and so far the best response that I've gotten is its a rare drop off something and for a caster quest.

===================

There's also a frog who gives out this quest:

Bensha says, 'Ooh, this is just too splendid. You must try out my new spell. But... there is only one issue. I need a single little thing. Uh... well. It's a fish. See, the eggs of the bony tuna have some, uh, has- oh blast it, just... just get me a bony tuna. Fish it up or something, and I can finish my spell and give you a copy, alright?'

I've so far gone on the assumption that this is a newbie quest and have mostly concentrated my time in Twilight Sea fishing and slaying the minnows that swim in the water there. I've also gone fishing in Mistwoods, Erudin, Eastern Wastes, Wyvernfang Coast and Siren's Grotto with little result. Actually no result, have yet to catch anything. The only other fish I can recall seeing are the big ones off the Wyvernfang coast and they are red and off limits to me now.

==========================

Any help would be appreciated. I've pretty much moved onto working on other quests for now.

Fishing worked last i knew - my wife was just fishing the other day and caught a few fishies

Whats your skill at? and how long did you spend fishing?
 
i saw the redwood quest too, i figured it was a ground spawn as i didnt see any tree type creatures in sd, but it might be a crawler drop as they might somehow pick up the wood while crawling around the desert.

I was to low lvl to kill the stuff at the time and i ahvent bothered with it since.
 
possible they are both fishing quests. i mean if you can catch rusty daggers.. and old worn shoes (which made very good newbie wear on live i'll have you know) might as well be a piece of drift wood
 
so this means that faction was fixxed here? i started a frog but had a hard time doing anything since all the npc's were dubious, including my guildmaster =\

no big deal tho, i reported the bug but i gave up on the frog, if i decide to start a shaman later i might make one, but i dont think i would have enjoyed playing a paladin.
 
My fishing is at 22. I probably spent 30 mins fishing in the Twilight Sea while I waited for turtles to respawn for the shaman newbie quest. From asking around, it seems like only fresh fish can be caught, no rusty daggers and such on Winters Roar.

Steenk, when I visited Taldor Malath all the frogs were dubious. I couldn't shop there but I could get quests. There is something on the news page about Froglok factions being fixed now.
 
It is fixed now you can buy/sell in town and such but you could do quest and train at guildmaster b4 the fix.

The quest npc says the wood is in scarlet desert, but there is no water there, maybe forage is the way to go but since i dont have or get forage i wont be doing it.
 
Keep fishing. Perhaps you haven't mastered the subtleties sufficient to outwit the Bony Tuna quite yet.

Hehe Wany,

For subtleties I did think of using a tasty dwarf or gnome for bait as I was watching those big Renders swim off of Wyvernfang. Maybe they just don't like worms. :lol:
