The Malignant Creatures quest starts in Little Haven in Caldey. Little Haven is around loc 46/19. The NPC that gives the quest is Mordwywr (the enchanter in town). Mordwywr is in the largest building in Little Haven. I received this quest at L48 and the reward includes a L48 gem - not sure if you can get the quest before that level.

You have to kill 7 undead creatures. I killed these: phantom magi, defiled skeleton, headless footman, grasping ghoul, ebon skeleton, corpse delver, and haunted rowan -- all yellow and easy kills to a level 48(found at loc=60k 56k).

Quest reward was 6 gold and some copper, 2,377,658,624xp (about 3/4 bub I think to L48), and a gem for jewel slot, most likely class specific. I am a wizzie and received Caster's Minding Thoughts.

I did this at 46, all mobs were yellow to me as well. I only received 1.8 billion exp, but it was still 3/4 of a bub for me -- I think therefore that it scales according to level.
My reward (as a friar) was Darkening Powers.

A 48 scout received 2.3 billion exp.

I tried to kill other undead, but only the ones on the list dropped items for me. The three that didn't were corpse mold, gangrenous mass, and a ghoul desecrator. The gem I got had 5 charges of a 15s self damage shield, with a delved rating of 5. Since someone else got a different gem, you might actually get a decent charge on one. 1.8 billion xp at level 46, roughly a bulb or a little more.

A lvl 43 friar with us couldn't get the quest yet.

Quest reward for a level 50 paladin who completed the quest:

3,137,339,392 experience (One bubble of exp at lvl 46.) 6 gold
Strengthening Power (Gem)

lvl 48 necro received:
2,377,658,624 exp
6 gold and some copper rewarded Caster's Minding Thoughts

lvl 46 received 1,801,928,334 exp.
lvl 47 received 2,069,872,107 exp.
lvl 49 received 2,731,212,567 exp.
lvl 50 received 4,706,009,088 exp.

Champion Level experience gained: 2353

Haunted Rowans

They are WAY southeast of little haven... in the corner of Gwyddneau and Dewvy... I found them at 60k 56k... Theres a huge, broken down tower and they are right around that.

To use the bag, I just right clicked on it and typed /use... It automatically fills the bag up and then I gave it to the guy...

They are SE from Little Haven. There are quite a few near the border with Dales of Devwy.

Complain all you want about the loot, but I got a whole bub of exp at level 46! That much exp at this level is pretty significant in my book!
How to use the Bag?
# May 08 2003 at 9:56 AM Rating: Default
I have all the items, and it says to use the bag to hold the items. I cannot place anything in the bag, and cannot turn the items in. Please help.

K, once you have all 7 items, put the bad into your hotbar, hold e, and click the bag. all the items should go into the bag automatically.

Assuming "E" is your "open/use" key :) ... /keyboard to check.
unable to get quest
# Apr 06 2003 at 2:58 AM Rating: Decent
I am a level 46 Paladin, and I have not been able to get the quest. I got neutral faction with the villagers, and after 200-300 kills of the undead in the vicinity, I gave up trying to get friendly faction. Shouldn't take 4-5 hours to get started with a quest, should it?

I am not able to get any reaction from the Enchanter, except that he can enchant my items. A friend of mine, level 47 minstrel, has had the exact same problem.

I play on Europe server, so patch 1.60 is out yet...if that's the problem, I'm quite upset at wasting 5 hours and not getting the quest.

Got this quest at level 46, and checked on it at level 45 so I'm betting its a level 46 quest. I tried to kill other undead, but only the ones on the list dropped items for me. The three that didn't were corpse mold, gangrenous mass, and a ghoul desecrator. The gem I got had 5 charges of a 15s self damage shield, with a delved rating of 5. Since someone else got a different gem, you might actually get a decent charge on one. 1.8 billion xp at level 46, roughly a bulb or a little more.
Faction

Be cautious when you enter the town, as this town does have a faction to it. It is very possible to end up with a poor faction, and have the entire town be agro to you. Uncertain as to which creature(s) sway it either way.
RE: Faction

You can get this quest at lvl47. The reward for a caster is a waste of time (10 charges of an af75 shield), but you do get around a full bub of xp when you complete the quest AT lvl47.

The barbarians are very easy to gain a faction with. All the mobs around the area that are undead will raise the faction with them.
