Barbarian Shaman Guide: Cannibalize II Quest

Cannibalize II Quest

Cannibalize II is the second rank of the Shaman's Cannibalize line, allowing the Shaman to convert their own hit points into mana. For Caradawc, as a Barbarian Shaman, the appropriate quest is the Good version of the quest.

The quest takes place across several Kunark zones and begins with Marlyn McMerin in Firiona Vie. Four components must be collected and returned to Marlyn, who rewards the spell scroll McMerin's Feast. Scribing the scroll teaches Cannibalize II.

The Four Components

You need one of each of the following four items.

Quantity Item Source Zone
1 Strange Ochre Clay An army behemoth City of Mist
1 Crushed Diamonds Ground spawn or crafted Timorous Deep / Dreadlands route
1 Yun Shaman Powder A froglok yun shaman Trakanon's Teeth
1 Greyish Bone Chips Skeletal warlord Karnor's Castle

Total required: 4 quest items.

1. Strange Ochre Clay

Quantity required: 1

The first component is Strange Ochre Clay, which drops from an army behemoth in the City of Mist.

The item identifies as Clay of Ghiosk when examined. This is the component representing the clay of Ghiosk requested by Marlyn.

Keep: 1 × Strange Ochre Clay
Source: Army behemoth — City of Mist

2. Crushed Diamonds

Quantity required: 1

There are two ways to obtain the required Crushed Diamonds. The first is considerably easier and should be the preferred method for Caradawc.

Easy Method — Timorous Deep Ground Spawn

A ready-made Crushed Diamonds ground spawn can be found on Golra Island in Timorous Deep at approximately:

-8850, -6040

The ground spawn is the simplest way to obtain the quest component. Invisibility and levitation make reaching the island considerably easier.

Recommended: Use the Timorous Deep ground spawn whenever possible. There is little reason to undertake the crafting route unless the ground spawn is unavailable.

Alternative Method — Make Crushed Diamonds

If the ground spawn cannot be obtained, Crushed Diamonds can be made from a Dread Diamond.

  1. Obtain a Dufrenite.
  2. Travel to the Dreadlands.
  3. Find the gem cutter skeleton in one of the pyramids near the wizard spires.
  4. Have an Enchanter, Necromancer or Bard charm the gem cutter skeleton.
  5. While it is charmed, hail it and ask about the Dread Diamond.
  6. Give it the Dufrenite to receive a Dread Diamond.
  7. Obtain a Spectral Pestle from a spectral guardian in Kaesora or Trakanon's Teeth.
  8. Combine the Dread Diamond and Spectral Pestle using Alchemy.
  9. The result is Crushed Diamonds, which identifies as Crushed Dread Diamonds.

The combination trivialises at approximately 70 Alchemy. The Spectral Pestle is consumed during the process.

Keep: 1 × Crushed Diamonds
Preferred source: Timorous Deep ground spawn

3. Yun Shaman Powder

Quantity required: 1

Yun Shaman Powder drops from a froglok yun shaman in Trakanon's Teeth.

The correct item is black and identifies as Powder of Yun. Be careful not to confuse it with a visually similar powder that can be found elsewhere in Kunark.

The actual Yun Shaman associated with this quest is in Trakanon's Teeth and is around level 41, so this can be a more serious encounter than the name of the mob might suggest.

Keep: 1 × Yun Shaman Powder
Source: Froglok yun shaman — Trakanon's Teeth

4. Greyish Bone Chips

Quantity required: 1

The final component is Greyish Bone Chips, obtained from skeletal warlords in Karnor's Castle.

The item identifies as Obulus Bone Chips and represents bones from someone who has touched the Bath of Obulus.

Keep: 1 × Greyish Bone Chips
Source: Skeletal warlord — Karnor's Castle

Because the skeletal warlord is a named encounter in Karnor's Castle, this is a good item to mention to your group before the mob is killed. Other players will often allow a Shaman who needs the quest to loot it.

Complete Shopping List

Item Quantity Source Zone
Strange Ochre Clay 1 An army behemoth City of Mist
Crushed Diamonds 1 Ground spawn Timorous Deep
Yun Shaman Powder 1 Froglok yun shaman Trakanon's Teeth
Greyish Bone Chips 1 Skeletal warlord Karnor's Castle

Total: 4 items.

Turn-In — Marlyn McMerin

Once all four components have been collected, travel to Firiona Vie and find Marlyn McMerin.

Give Marlyn all four items:

  • 1 × Strange Ochre Clay
  • 1 × Crushed Diamonds
  • 1 × Yun Shaman Powder
  • 1 × Greyish Bone Chips

On a successful turn-in, Marlyn rewards you with McMerin's Feast and you receive experience.

Scribe McMerin's Feast to learn Cannibalize II.

Turn-in NPC: Marlyn McMerin
Zone: Firiona Vie
Reward: McMerin's Feast
Result: Cannibalize II

Cannibalize II

Cannibalize II is the second rank of the Shaman's Cannibalize line. It converts the Shaman's own hit points into mana, allowing the Shaman to recover mana without sitting and meditating normally.

It sits between Cannibalize and Cannibalize III in the Shaman progression.

Spell Level HP Cost Mana Returned
Cannibalize 24 50 HP 20 mana
Cannibalize II 39 67 HP 30 mana
Cannibalize III 54 100 HP 50 mana

Cannibalize II has a 1.25-second casting time and a 2.25-second recast time. The spell is unresistable and targets the caster.

The Shaman spell reference notes that the Cannibalize ranks differ in their HP-to-mana ratios, with Cannibalize II providing a significant improvement over the first rank while retaining the short 1.25-second cast time.

Caradawc's Checklist

  • ☐ 1 × Strange Ochre Clay — City of Mist
  • ☐ 1 × Crushed Diamonds — Timorous Deep
  • ☐ 1 × Yun Shaman Powder — Trakanon's Teeth
  • ☐ 1 × Greyish Bone Chips — Karnor's Castle
  • ☐ Travel to Firiona Vie
  • ☐ Find Marlyn McMerin
  • ☐ Turn in all four components
  • ☐ Receive McMerin's Feast
  • ☐ Scribe McMerin's Feast
  • ☐ Learn Cannibalize II

Good vs Evil — What Is Different?

There are two versions of the Cannibalize II quest: Good and Evil. The important point for Caradawc is that the quest components and reward are the same.

Good Version Evil Version
Quest NPC Marlyn McMerin The Great Oowomp
Location Firiona Vie Timorous Deep
Required Items 4 components Same 4 components
Reward McMerin's Feast McMerin's Feast
Spell Learned Cannibalize II Cannibalize II

The Evil Version

The Evil version is given by The Great Oowomp in Timorous Deep. Oowomp asks for exactly the same four components:

  • 1 × Strange Ochre Clay
  • 1 × Crushed Diamonds
  • 1 × Yun Shaman Powder
  • 1 × Greyish Bone Chips

Returning the four items to Oowomp produces the same McMerin's Feast spell scroll, which teaches Cannibalize II.

The principal difference is therefore where the final turn-in takes place and which faction group is appropriate for the character. The Evil quest is intended for Evil characters, while the Good version through Marlyn McMerin is the appropriate route for Caradawc.

For Caradawc: Ignore the Evil turn-in. Collect the same four components and take them to Marlyn McMerin in Firiona Vie.

Quick Reference

Mastering Augments in EverQuest: A Complete Modern Guide

Image
Augments are one of the most powerful and long-lasting progression systems in EverQuest , allowing players to customize gear with permanent bonuses that persist across upgrades. Introduced during the Lost Dungeons of Norrath era, they can enhance almost any piece of equipment with boosts to hit points, mana, endurance, armor class, stats, weapon procs, or even spell effects. Understanding how augments work and how to manage them safely is crucial for maximizing your character’s potential, whether you are leveling solo, duoing, or preparing for group content. What Are Augments? An augmentation is an item that you insert into a gear slot. Each slot is restricted by type, which determines where the augment can fit rather than how strong it is. The most common slot types today include Type 7, which fits most armor and jewelry and provides general bonuses such as HP, mana, and stats, and Type 8, which is typically reserved for raid gear and high-end content. Weapon-only augments are gen...

Returning to EQ2? What you might have forgotten - Part 1 : Status Items

Image
If you are returning to EverQuest II after several years away, there are plenty of things that may look familiar while still working in ways you have forgotten. Some systems are obvious as soon as you log back in. Others are much easier to overlook. Status items belong firmly in the second category. As you adventure through Norrath, you will occasionally loot items that look like ordinary pieces of treasure but are not intended to be equipped. Relics, scrying stones, amulets and sealed documents can all be status items. They are effectively another form of reward from killing creatures and exploring the world, and if you remember what to do with them they can become a useful source of personal status. If you have been away from EverQuest II for years, you may well have forgotten the entire system. So this is one of those things worth remembering before you start throwing unfamiliar loot away. What Are Status Items? Status items are special pieces of loot that can drop from ...
