Beatles Reference - The Song is "With a Little Help from my Friends" and for the quest you need to find somebody named Ringo :) Props to Blizzard's creativity

Comment by Karaken

Ringo is found in a small cave on the mountain in the center of Un'Goro Crater. Check pinktoque's comment on Ringo's page (Click Ringo's name in the "Quick Facts" area.) for coordinates.

This is an easy quest. You have to escort Ringo back to Spraggle Frock at Marshal's Refuge within the time limit. Along the way, Ringo will faint, requiring you to use the canteen to revive him. Even with these delays, you still have more then enough time to get to Marshal's Refuge.

Just so you know, the canteen has a cooldown (Around 45 seconds) before it can be used again. If he faints before the cooldown is up, don't panic and just wait for the cooldown to finish.

I like all the references blizzard put in here. There's so many to count.

If you happen to fail...you can't just run back to ringo..that doesn't do anything! And i just ran back to spraggle frock and i can't start the quest over...any suggestions of what to do if you fail??

Comment by 30454

this quest is annoying. Ringo keeps dieing and you have to revive him with the canteen. But im a 51 hunter and the helmet he gives you is nice and i saw what the pants look like, they look awsome. Definently do this quest if you want good exp and nice rewards

let s see. first go to 51,50 and speak with the corpse then accept the quest and go back to marshall's refuge.. this quest is boring and annoying i think---- ringo will come with u and sometimes he wil lsays : URRRGHHTT or u maybe carry me .... etc... so u get a water in your backpack given by ringo and click this and u will resurrect the little goblin... the do it until the refuge.. ringo died 10-15 times in my way so don1t be afraid....

Comment by Beerster

Just did this with a level 53 Warrior real easy quest. You can avoid all the mods on your way back, but I found it easier to just fight them and make a clear straight shot to Spraggle Frock for Ringo. Anyways, I did run into a little snag when I was coming out of the cave I was attacked by 3 mobs all level 54+. I'm sure they are just ones the rome around there, but I died really fast because Ringo fainted and I couldn't revive him to leave. So moral to this story is you can die and Ringo will stay right were you left him waiting for water :D. So you can res and then continue on your way, pretty cool. Also, I only revived him about 5 times.

It helps to keep Ringo targeted. Just before he faints, he'll drop as your target, giving you a heads up that he's about to pass out. Also read your general chat box as he'll give you a clue that he's feeling light headed.

The guy will follow you, so you can choose your own path to Marshal's Refuge.
He does not fight and I don't think he can be attacked.

Comment by Abbas

just rogue ther if u want

Rogues: Use STEALTH. Ringo will follow you while you are in stealth. I didn't have any mobs attack Ringo, but I used DISTRACT as well just in case.

This is one of the EASIEST quests to complete.

Comment by Nailer

Ringo says:

When you receiving quest:
- Well, I'm not sure how far I'll make it in this state... I'm feeling kind of faint...
- Remember, if I faint again, the water that Spraggle gave you will revive me.

Sometimes, when he will fall to the ground he says one of phrases:
- The heat... I can't take it...
- Maybe... you could carry me?
- Uuuuuuggggghhhhh....
- I'm not feeling so well...

When he standing up, he can say one of the following:
- Where... Where am I?
- I am feeling a little better now, thank you.
- Yes, I must go on.
- How am I feeling? Quite soaked, thank you.

And when quest is complete, there are dialog with Spraggle:
00:00 Ringo: Spraggle! I didn't think I'd make it back!
00:03 Spraggle Frock: Ringo! You're okay!
00:08 Ringo: Oh... I'm feeling faint...
00:09 - Ringo falls on the ground
00:18 - Ringo standing up
00:19 Ringo: Ugh.
00:22 Spraggle Frock: Ringo? Wake up! Don't worry, I'll take care of you.
01:04 - Ringo disappears...

Comment by 87272

you need to make sure you take him to Spraggle Frock at 43.6, 8.5 to get the complete on the quest... then you can turn it in...

Comment by 51518

I just did the quest and got attacked by allys just outside Marshalls Refuge. And the quest failed... So, im not sure you can continue the quest after you've died. Atleast I couldn't :/ (but apperantly Beerster could :S )

So if you're on a pvp-server, watch out!

Rewards 8150xp as of patch 2.3

Comment by Risby

Is it a followup or Horde only? I'm at him but can't engage the quest at all, he just lies there.

Comment by 148878

I walked with him to the exit of his cave, then he fainted. I revived him, then he fainted again in the same spot. I revived him again but he wasnt following me. He fainted again then i revived him, but he still wasnt following e so i abandoned this damn quest, its a waste of time, he was just sitting there doing nothing, while i was trying to get him outta there. Did anyone encounter this problem?

Comment by jwz122

This quest is very simple. He is at (52,51) which is the cave to the South East on Fire Plume Ridge. On your map, you can see the two caves.
Keep the cantine handy because along the way he will constantly faint in which case you will need to use it. When he faints he will say things like "carry me" and that "he wont make it".
When you wake him, he will respond with "where am i" or "I feel better now"
When you first leave the cave, head east and jump down the ledge. this will help you to avoid the fire elementals. Head for Marshal's Refuge and watch out for the large dinosaurs that patrol the area.
He runs through the Tar pits so be on your guard. When you arrive, take him to Spraggle Frock in front of a large tree on your left. they will talk for a few and he may pass out again so stay by him.

Comment by 122930

Wow! The NPC AI on this quest is just garbage. I got about 15 feet ahead of him because of Feral Swiftness talent, right as we're coming into Marshall's Refuge and fail the quest. You'd think any idiot could find thier way from there? But noooo. -.-

Comment by 105800

My quest failed - My new computer has been acting funny lately, slowing down and speeding up and slowing down. It wasn't doing anything strange when I accepted this quest but it froze suddenly. I had to shut down and reboot. He was passed out and I thru the water on him and led him home. He had the conversation with the girl gnome but a question mark never appeared above her head. So if you have to log out during this quest, abandon it and start over. Even if you lead him home the quest will fail.

Comment by 194672

As a 54 level prot-paladin, I was able to do this quest without fighting against a single mob while leading Ringo to Marshal's Refuge. So this is much easier than most of escort quests, as this has no ambush and you can pick route of your liking.

Only problem I can think of is the fact that in PvP servers, hostile players can ruin your escort, but same goes for most of escort quests.

Comment by jaschmidt22

I think this quest is bugged. A player I was grouped with and I both froze as soon as we accepted the quest, and I couldn't un-freeze my character until the quest as marked as failed.

Comment by 202333

To the people having this quest freeze their client:

For some people QuestHelper (a very popular addon) will freeze your client any time you take a quest with a timer, this quest included. If you are using QuestHelper try disabling it and seeing if you can start the quest over.

Update: The newest versions of QuestHelper seem to fix this memory leak. The 3.0.x upgrade for it includes this fix.

Comment by Twilightmoon

I personly found this quest very easy. I did it at lvl 52 on my druid and only had to kill two monsters that took no time at all. However, it is annoying how you have to keep giving him water, sometimes he blends into the ground and i cant find him, so what i did is i kepy him click so when he falls to the ground i see bright green wording and can easily spot him! hope that helps!

Comment by 179662

This quest is extremely easy XP. Do not pass it up.

There are no spawning mobs to ambush you, and absolutely no surprises. He follows you at 120%+ speed (meaning you can mount up). I revived him a total of 5 times.

One of the easiest escort quests around, and most likely ranked for a higher level than anyone doing the quest.

Comment by zeakster777

This is my favorite Blizz reference...Beatles,my favorite band,but what I don't understand is that are they burning Ringo by making him a goblin or was it meant like that I don't really know but it's pretty funny.

Comment by 245276

Did this quest 3 times. Each time they talk and the question mark is over her head, but when I hit complete quest it says quest failed! Weird bug

Comment by roflafagus

'Fraggle Rock' reference. Heheh.
If I remember correctly, that was a kid's TV show.

Comment by 182943

Easy quest with a level 51 rogue just dont attack all mobs

Comment by 68528

kind of an awesome quest do do with a friend. One can lead, the other revive Ringo when he keels over. He'll then follow whoever revived him last.

Comment by 415506

Sucks when you are about to hand in the first quest and get this as a follow up, someone will take Ringo for "a little walk". Another person takes the quest.

Comment by Noromis

What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
and I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends.

Do you neeeed anybody?
I just want someone to love...

Comment by rbuffetta

If you find him hard to see in the grass put a raid target icon on him (skull for example). Left mouse click Ringo, Right click his portrait and select a raid target icon.

Comment by Noobiedoobie

I've been trying to complete this quest for a couple of days now - contacted GM, was informed that they know about the problem of Ringo not respawning. Today when I attempted the quest it was fixed on the Oceanic server I'm on.

Comment by Species3259

For people who are mislead by the obsolete tag, here is another link

And yes, the quest can still be completed as i just did.

It starts with this one, also tagged as obsolete.

Did this quest 3 times. Each time they talk and the question mark is over her head, but when I hit complete quest it says quest failed! Weird bug

I know me too... I escorted him like 4 times now, and I can't seem to get the quest completed...

Comment by Trillawnie

This quest CAN be obtained- and completed- although I had trouble with it. After he fainted once, I finally got him back to his friend Spraggle Frock, but she did not acknowledge him and I could not turn the quest in- her little ? did not turn yellow. He fainted again and I got the "mission failed" message.

I abandoned it and tried to start it over, but Spraggle Frock did not offer it again. No little ! above her head. I went back up the mountain and found him in the cave again- HE is the one you pick up this part of the quest from so he did have the ! above his head. I got him down the mountain this time without him fainting and was able to turn it in.

Comment by GamerMama

I had problems turning this in as well. I led Ringo in a circle around the campfire and about halfway around the quest popped up as completed.

A Little Help From My Friends

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Lead Ringo to Spraggle Frock at Marshal's Refuge.

If Ringo faints, use Spraggle's Canteen to revive him.

	Escort Ringo to Spraggle Frock at Marshal's Refuge (1)

Provided item:

	Spraggle's Canteen (1)

Description

Ugh... It's so hot...

I was exploring this area, when all of a sudden, the heat just became unbearable. I must be suffering from heat exhaustion.

Please, help me get back to my friend Spraggle at Marshal's Refuge. I think I'm well enough to follow you there.

I am feeling a little out of it, so if I do happen to faint again, just splash some water on me from Spraggle's canteen. That should work, I hope...
