 * Drystan Wildweed - Glooth Bandits
 * Elbert - Glooth Bandits
 * Georgia Rainbird - Mutated Glooth Plague
 * Wesley - Tending Gloothworms
 * Zeronex - The Gloud Ship

Nature's Balance
Ask Drystan Wildweed for a mission. He wants you to kill a combined total of 200 Glooth Bandits and Glooth Brigands. You can do this in conjunction with Glooth Bandits.

Glooth Bandits
From the second floor of the Glooth Plant, head south-east and turn north-east at the intersection. You will encounter Elbert here. Ask Elbert for a mission and he will ask you to help him investigate the sudden widespread glooth bandit attacks.

Elbert wants you to collect Glooth Capsules which the Glooth Bandits and Glooth Brigands have stolen. Bring Elbert some Tainted Glooth Capsules and he will send you on another mission.

You must now find the bandits' hideout to find out who is behind it. The hideout is to the south-west of the Glooth Plant. When you arrive, you will find a strange room with 4 statues. Each statue except the east has a description which indicates what you must do to get a reaction from the statue. Furthermore, there is a Dead Explorer to the north with the book paper shown.

You must find a way to bless, adorn, feed, and entertain the statues.

To entertain the west statue, purchase a Lyre and use it near the statue.
 * Mysteriously the kingly statue comes to life, smiles slightly and nodds generously. Then it turns back into its lifeless state.

To feed the south statue, go north-east of the Glooth Plant, just outside Georgia Rainbird's laboratory, and search the Heap of Rubbish. You will find a special Dead Rat. Use this on the statue.
 * Mysteriously the statue comes to life, bends its head and devours the offered meat. Then it turns back into its lifeless state.

To adorn the east statue, you must create a Dinky Moss Floret Garland. All around the eastern mushroom area you will find Dinky Moss Florets on the mountain walls. Use these to obtain Dinky Moss Florets. When you have 3, use one of the Dinky Moss Florets on another one to create Interwoven Moss Floret. Use a Dinky Moss Floret on the Interwoven Moss Floret to create a Dinky Moss Floret Garland. Finally, use the Dinky Moss Floret Garland on the statue to adorn it.

To bless the north statue, purchase Special Flask (Holy Water) from Henricus in Thais. Purchasing this requires The Inquisition Quest - mission 3 completed. Use the Holy Water on the statue.
 * Mysteriously the statue comes to life, nodds generously and spreads its wings. Then it turns back into its lifeless state.

Now that you have animated the 4 statues you may enter the Magic Forcefield in the center. You must find the Warlock, to the far east, kill him and search the Bookcase for the Parchment.

Report back to Elbert. Upon greeting him your mission will be completed.

Mutated Glooth Plague
NPC: Georgia Rainbird.

Ask Georgia Rainbird for a mission.

You must find the items she lists and use them on the Strange Device that she provides in order to create the Glooth Converter.
 * 5 Gear Wheels (loot them)
 * 1 Copper Valve (obtain loose ones from pipes)
 * 1 Glass Tube (obtain from Elbert)
 * 1 Calibrated Indicator Gauge (obtain from the Glooth Bandit Camp, on the west side of the tunnels)

Use all these items on the Strange Device to create the Glooth Converter.

Now you need a Crimson Crest Mushroom. You can find these in the Gloothworm Farm, which is on the north-east part of the tunnels. Use the mushroom to obtain the item.

Now you must go back to Georgia Rainbird's laboratory and use the Crimson Crest Mushroom on her Alchemical Apparatus to obtain the Vial of Mushroom Distillate.

Use Vial of Mushroom Distillate on the Glooth Converter to obtain Filled Glooth Converter.

You now must use the Filled Glooth Converter on 8? purple pools of Slime. You must use it like a fishing rod - aim for the middle of the pool, because the ground borders will block you from using it close to the edge. When you do this the 8th time, the Filled Glooth Container will break and you will be left with a Strange Device, allowing you to restart the task.

Tending Gloothworms
NPC: Wesley.

Talk to Wesley in the Gloothworm Farm and ask him for a mission. He will tell you to get the reading off the machine north-east of him. Go north-east and you should find a large machine. Use the right side of the machine to get the report.

Go back to Wesley about the report. Wesley will now tell you what your task is.

Calibrating the Irrigation Funnels
Your task is to calibrate the irrigation funnels. North-east of Wesley where you found the machine, go inside the fence and use all 8 of the Irrigation Funnels.

Report back to Wesley.

Feeding the Worms
Note: this task is/was bugged on the Test Server. You may be unable to use the Fungus Powder on the tubes.

Your task is to feed the gloothworms. Go south-east from Wesley, down the hole and up the hole to the south. On this floor you will find a lot of Edible Rock Fungi. Use the Hoe on them to obtain some Fungus Powder. Go back to Wesley and head north-east. Enter the gloothworm farm and use the Fungus Powder on the Small Gloothworm Tubes.
