Teak Me to the Stars  

killed a pug (popped at start of ride) from central to south via newt pool and dropped... wasn't even looking for it :/

If you can borrow the Lu Shang's F. Rod from a guildie.
and you can get the Rogue Rig. (whew expensive).
Stand across from the NPC at the end of the dock closer to the pole second one in. but in between the two end poles across from NPC.
(spoiler ?) i hope not. Just tellin ya how i did this one twice with two characters at level 31/32 ranger and a rogue(thf).
okay. Pretty much the same way. just the number of casts vary.
I <esc>'ed out for every "fun" music catch. Like, dark bass, shining Trout, rusty leggings, rusty bucket.
I don't have that many slots, and you HAVE to equipt yourself for the monsters, 'cause the FISHTRAP is a monster.
So are the Crabs, several different types.
The Arrow wood lumber plays as a monster but heh, it ain't.

Should be able to get the fishtrap with a mithran Fish. Rod and the sinking minnow .
Not me - I got lines broke, pole snaps (ouch that is expensive).
I switched to Sliced Sardine. Then got pole snaps and monsters, and one fishtrap with no drops.
(fishing level 8, with fsh gloves and Fisherman's boots for skill 10).
Before I borrow Lu Shang's I try to use Composite fishing rod and sardines.
Whoa. I got pugil monsters - which was okay because I got skill ups in evasion and dagger, and marksmanship.
NOT one Fishtrap !

So standing by the second pole in towards land between the last dock pole
across the dock from NPC (like my characters left shoulder is almost touching
the second pole) it took about twenty casts, <esc> for each "fun" music" and
only fish the drum monster music.
No pug's just crabs, and arrow wood and two fishtraps.
First one had beastman seal, and second one had quest item.

** no fate **

I was on the South to North Landing barge. This emote popped up:

Something has caught on Ineuteniace's line! (Ineuteniace is the NPC that was talking during the ride)


Soon after I hear a splash, an Ooze pops up. So I go up and kill it and the Lumber drops.

Did I just get lucky? Or can anyone else confirm that Ineuteniace has to fish one up for you?

Managed to get it on the first drop going from Central Landing to South Landing.

Pug appeared on the ship, killed it in 3 hits and got a rare/ex item that i wasn't expecting.

Will complete this quest after :D

/EDIT - Should just mention I had Treasure Hunter

Can be found off the pugs in carpenters landing too, no need to ride the boat at all.

Got this as 40 whm/20 blm, walked in to the landing and died :/ lol then got my bro 53Drk/26war to help me.

1 boat trip, killed everything in sight and got the drop, can't remember what it was off, just kill everything

I got mine on first boat trip from south landing to north panding, dropped off of an Ooze.

I know, I know, pure luck most likely ^^ but still pretty much free 2100gil.

WOOT ^^

FYI. You can camp for Stubborn Dredvodd (an NM Orc) during the boat ride.
I was fishing and trying to get Teak lumber during boat ride. An NM orc jumped right at me all the sudden. I was like 'WTF!?'. Well, I killed it and its Wyrven and got a belt..kinda useless though. It also should drop ring and boot..but i was not lucky enough to get them.

(Check entry posted on Nov 1st,2005). (^_^)/

Got the drop on my third boat run, dropped of a Pugil and it was the only mob to spawn that time.

Did this as 55MNK/20THF (for TH), all mobs Too weak of course..

This quest is the first of three related quests involving the Promathia story line. No spoilers here.

The other quests are:

Hyper Active

and

The Naming Game

IBHalliwell - I wanted to do Hyper Active quest. Discovered I had to do this quest first only after talking to the quest giver. (Took awhile to complete /sigh)

My teak lumber dropped from a giant pugil just as the ship was docking, good thing I used Sneak Attack and one-shotted it. It's not at all like the Manaclipper, only like two mobs spawned the whole trip. ~.~

Just adding my experience to the mix here...

My friends and I started this quest last weekend then went and spent just over 4 hours on the barge in Carpenter's Landing. We got 2 drops during that time. One was off an Ooze, the other was off a fished up Fishtrap. This is with TH (but no TH2).

Oozes only spawn at night. The one or two other mobs that spawned on each barge trip never dropped - pugils, crabs, normal flytraps.

It dropped from Greater pugil, for me, while riding barge in Carpenter's landing. Didn't know what it was for, till I looked it uphere. Going to cash it now now...WOOT! ô¿~ [b][/b][Black][/Black][pre][/pre]

This quest makes me want to break things. >< Off and on, when I have nothing better to do, I go and ride the barge for an hour or two at a time, and I have yet to get the piece of wood. In probably 6+ hours of nothing but barge riding as 75 RDM/THF, killing everything that spawns, I think I've gotten a total of one or two flytrap leaves.

1 Kill, 1 Drop. No thf sub.
AMEN

Having trouble with this.

I can't get any Teak to drop. I've killed things on the barge, near the Sandy zone, and on the Central Landing. (And man does it suck having to wait a half-hour if you miss a barge...)
What drops the lumber? I've made a fortune off of tiger fangs, stealing silver beastcoins, etc, but no Teak.

Really frustrating... -.-

I'm subbing THF, but either TH hasn't helped or I'm just incredibly unlucky. Both times on the barge I was the only one on it, and I killed everything that popped up, but no avail.

Any suggestions?

Is the quest repeatable?
Mine dropped from Gaint Pugil on te barge

Thats strange, a bunch of quests revolving around airship building. I'm not saying that we get to buy and pilot our own airships (although a linkshell owned airliner would be teh pwnxer) maybe whatever storyline promathia has is going to revolve more around airships and the likes.

Dropped from a Great Pugil on the route to North Landing for me.

Anyone know how/where to get this? I would guess it's either a HQ or key item synth in woodworking... could also be some rare/ex drop but I think it's crafted because he says he needs large ammounts.
