Description

Great, finally something that doesn't want to eat me!!

I need help handling the critters around here, and you fit the mold, buddy.

A goblin from Ratchet named Mebok Mizzyrix needs some bogbean leaves for a potion, or something... I honestly don't care why -- his money was good and I know this swamp, so here I am.

Too bad I got myself surrounded before I found the bogbean! Can you help me out of here, and watch my back as I look for Mebok's plant?

You can find Stinky at 45,17. He wanders around the swamp a bit until he finds the Bogbean Leaves. There aren't any ambushes, but there will be some mobs in the area unless you've already killed them. He gets onto a road at 49,25 and the quest is completed.
Then head over to 62,37 in The Barrens to turn-in.

From what I can tell, if someone failed the quest after the Bogbean Plant spawns, but before he interracts with it (and thus despawns it), the plant remains perma-spawned, and bugs the quest out for everyone else who tries to start it. After talking to Stinky to start the quest he disappears, only to reappear on the main road nearby the Bogbean Plant, and run off as though you had completed the quest.

I have just petitioned a GM, and am awaiting their response - but I believe to fix the problem they need to despawn the Bogbean Plant.
