Unique Mounts
written by: MadderHatter
This really isn't a character specific quest, as the quest is exactly
the same no matter what character you are playing. However, I have
listed it under character specific because the reward is the ability to
buy a Unique Mount, which IS specific to your character type...
The quest begins in the town of Orcish Byway.
You'll find an NPC surrounded by a pillar of yellow light (The
Archaeologist's Sister). Talk to her to activate the quest.
She'll instruct you to travel to Urthak's Moxie to see her brother if
you're interested in unique mounts.
Travel Northeast towards the coast, you'll arrive at Urthak's Moxie
and find her brother (The Frustrated Archaeologist) sitting beneath the
eaves of a house.
After talking with him you learn he's lost the map to
Mount Island and he'll show you how to read it if you can bring it to
him...
Continue traveling Northeast along the path, you'll eventually find
the map on the ground, grab it and head back to Urthak's Moxie and the
Frustrated Archaeologist.
After taking with him you'll learn to read the
map and you'll now have access to A Mystical Place in the northern ocean.
To get there, just talk to a captain at any of the seaports,
Thylisium has one and is easy to get to.
Once on the island, you're only option is to talk with Hugard, he'll
want you to prove your worth in combat before he'll sell you any of his
special mounts.
You'll have to prove yourself in combat three times
against T-Mutants on the western part of the island...

The first batch are
small Test Series #149 T-Mutants (they are all the same type):
After you defeat them all go back and speak to Hugard again.
The second batch are Test Series #3581 and are larger:

After you defeat them all go back and speak to Hugard once again.
The third batch are Test Series #1802 and stay invisible
until you get close to them, these are the largest ones.

After defeating all of the T-Mutants, talk with Hugard one last time.
The quest is now complete and you'll now be able to purchase special mounts from
him (note the Priest icon above his head now).
Here is a shot of the entire island, I've marked where each mount
species is kept if you want to check them out in their habitats.
