Ringo can be found initially in a small cave on Fire Plume Ridge at location 51, 50 to complete the quest to "find" him. Once you find him, he'll give you a new quest "A Little Help From My Friends" and you escort him back to Marshal's Refuge.

The escort part isn't tough because you lead Ringo, and so you can avoid mobs on your walk back (and you have like 25 minutes to do it.) You have a little canteen of water in your inventory that you were given from Spraggle when you were sent out to find Ringo, called "Spraggle's Canteen"- watch for Ringo to say things like "Ugghhh" or "I'm feeling faint" ... those are indications that he is about to faint, and will need to be revived with the water from the little canteen in order to proceed.

I put the canteen in an empty slot in my hotbar for the duration of this quest. I kept Ringo targeted; when he faints, you lose him as a target, so even if I missed his cues like "uggh ... the heat, it's getting to me...", as soon as I noticed I'd lost him as a target I knew I needed to revive him. Simply click the canteen in order to give him some water and revive him.

Easy as pie :)

edit: It's a year and a half later or so, and I thought I'd add a few notes, seeing as how I'm doing this now on my Horde character. First of all, thanks for the + rates :) I'm glad my comments have helped! Second, thank you for clarifying that he is in the cave on the map and NOT on the top level of Fire Plume Ridge, StringAnomaly :) Also, thirdly, thank you for pointing out that you don't have to have Ringo targeted for the canteen to work, Cinosh! I only had him targeted because when he faints, you lose him as a target and so it sometimes helps you notice when he faints in case you miss his spoken cues :) I've edited the text a little to make that clearer. I appreciate it!

And now, my edits... the exact coordinates of the south eastern slope on Fire Plume Ridge where I went up are 55.26, 49.86. If you go up the SE slope there, you'll encounter one Scorching Elemental mob between you and the cave. Once up the slope at 54, 50 you can easily see the mouth of the cave where you'll find Ringo. Grab him and head back down the same way you came up!

Good luck!

When you find Ringo in the cave, he'll start a new quest: A Little Help from Friends http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=4491

make sure you get the right cave. there is a nasty elite in one near mountain top.

definately dont be antimidated by this quest, it was orange for me at 51 and i did the whole thing without having to kill one mob, it takes a bit longer to weave around, but it can be done

Kommentar von 43040

You can only place the canteen in a hotbar once the quest has begun. You do not need to have Ringo targeted to use the canteen BUT: you MUST be within his range.

Kommentar von 79023

Although this is an escort quest ringo will not fight if you draw arrago therefor you can run by monster with stopping and actually killing it.

Kommentar von 64664

Try to watch him closely, if he wanders of it may take time to spot him between all the grass/plants and such.
Best is not to jump just from the edge, but take a small jump eachtime. He can get stuck in the mountain if ya do a long jump.

If you abandon the quest he will respawn quite fast.

Kommentar von Burr

This quest: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=4502 is for the elementals in the area.

ringo in on 48,48

Kommentar von Tukar

Another pop culture reference by Blizzard.

Ringo was the drummer of the Beatles, and "Little Help from my Friends" is a Beatles song off the album Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Rock on :)

Does anyone know if you abandon the quest if it can be pickep up again? Im assuming if there is no ! point over the givers head you can not, correct? I had to abandon it as I found I didn't have the canteen in my inventory after I found his cave, and of course the first time he fainted I couldn't revive him. I ended up helping another person get the quest done as what they heck, I couldn't, at least the guy there looking for him could. :) I never mind helping another player..in hopes the kindness will come back to me one day when I am in need...my phylosophy anyway. :)
Thanks for any info. Im hoping someone else has done this and can give advice.

Kommentar von 145708

Thanks Pink, I went back to the cave and actually was able to get Ringo to follow me again after abandoning the quest, but of course still lacked the canteen...so...was hoping that would make me 'fail' the quest. Nope didn't work..sigh. So...
I tried talking to her again and she only welcomed me, and no mention of the quest or Ringo. So I think I will try your suggestion of the GM ticket, and see what can be done. Thanks again for your help. :) I really really do appreciate your response.

He's now guarded by 56 elite named Blazerunner.

Kommentar von 167647

Funny how you catch the little things that Blizzard puts in there just for fun to see if anyone notices.

1. Ringo
2. "With A Little Help From My Friends"

Pretty much self explanatory.

Kommentar von mahsher

I've been waiting for him to respawn for 25 mins. Still no sign of him. Wonder if he's bugged or what ever. pff

Kommentar von 167903

Incase nobody understood,
Ringo is the name of a member of The Beatles, and "With a little help from my friends" is one of their hit songs.

What would think 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,
He gets high with a little help from his friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I'm gonna to try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need someone to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
Oh...
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my friends

Just found out that if someone takes this quest and logs out while he is passed out en route to Marshall's Refuge, it WILL bug him from time to time and he won't reset. I've been in Un'Goro for about 4 hours and the entire time he's been lying "dead" in Marshall's Refuge.

Kommentar von 169887

If you go to the lower cave and he's not there it means somebody else just yoinked him and took him for a walk. You'll have to sit and wait until he resets. At least if you stay in the cave there's no pats to watch out for :)

Kommentar von 256753

NOTE:

Make SURE you are finding the right cave.

The cave near the top of the mountain is NOT the right cave.

I thought it was, venturing to the top as a level 53 only to be literally DESTROYED by a Level 56 Elite called The Blazerunner or something along those lines.

He literally grabbed me by my throat and chokeslammed me off of the mountain.
Yes, I just used a WWF term in WoW.

No, but he really does manhandle you.
He has a constant wind vortext swirling around him and if you get too close to him it sends you flying which can cause some awesome fall damage once he finally throws you from the mountain top.

That's how I died.
Sucks.

Kommentar von 77486

I can confirm that Ringo does exist and he does spawn. Just make sure you are in the lower cave. And as someone already said, if someone is taking forever doing it, it might be a long wait. Just be patient.

Kommentar von 297916

Currently it looks like, at least on some servers, this quest will get stuck and not be completable until the next server reset. When this happens, Ringo just sits next to Spraggle Frock--he doesn't respawn at the cave. If Ringo is just sitting next to Spraggle and never disappears, you probably shouldn't bother accepting the quest unless the server is about to reset--he won't be in the cave and he won't respawn as long as he's hanging out elsewhere.

for those of us who are better at visual orientation in the game instead of just coords (don't get me wrong... coords are *awesome*... but when it comes to vertically varied turf, coords can be a bit misleading) so, i can provide a brief explanation of the road to Ringo...
-get on the eastern side of the volcano (coords mentioned above work well)
-locate the 'lava river'... looks red on the gray ground, but doesn't give out damage, lol. this 'lava river' is not at the same location on the world map version as it is on your mini-map... the mini-map is more accurate.
-there should be one mob there, fire elemental of some sort, lvl 54/55-ish
-killulate said mob
-immediately to the left (south) of that mob's location, there is a black-ish path on the gray ground, going up onto the hillish area.
-follow the black path up to a plateau where you will have to kill one more fire elemental
-the cave is on the right (north), just after that mob.
i was able to finish this quest with no issues, as it does NOT seem to be bugged on Muradin server.
hope this helps!

Just confirmed on Dath'Remar that if Ringo is standing next to Spraggle and refuses to despawn, abandon the quest (if you have it) and Ringo will depawn from Marshal's Refuge back to the cave in Fire Plume Ridge. You can then pick up the quest from Spraggle again and head back to the cave to start the escort. Unless someone beats you to it.

After watching Ringo for about 5 minutes I abandoned it in Spraggle's presence and watched Ringo disappear.

Kommentar von Catharsis

Seems to be bugged on Arthas-US, too. He's never there.

Kommentar von 345751

For those without coords like me, the southeast of the 2 caves in Fire Plume Ridge.

Kommentar von 441360

probly some one is escorting him allready, and the cave is the only cave to the right , the quest gives 8050 exp to 50+(level) , this quest was easy , didnt think it would be O_o

Kommentar von FixManTx

If this is your first time in Un'Goro Crater, or if it's been awhile you should be aware of the 54 elite Devilsaur that randomly spawns and patrols near the path up the volcano. He's basically a giant raptor. He will spawn and de-spawn randomly in the area. He spawned right on top of my 56 mage and luckily I was mounted so it was easy to run away, but he had me down to 50% health in the 2 hits he got on me before I was out of harm's way.

As to the quest itself, after dealing with 2 of the elementals and going to the cave Ringo was there waiting for me. On the way back to Marshall's, it started raining and while the rain was falling when I used the canteen on him he would make a comment about being wet, and it seemed he went on quite a bit farther before needing the canteen again. Coincidence perhaps, but with Blizz who knows....

As noted above, the Beatles reference with Ringo and the "help from my friends" quest was amusing.

Kommentar von 287073

LvL 56 elite Blazerunner kills me here so don't say it is easy for me :( 52 SP

Kommentar von 501926

I was waiting for him to respawn.. Reading these comments, actually, and he didn't show. However, so many people said stuff like "after killing the two mobs" etc. So, I went out, killed the first 3 Scorching elementals I saw, and immediately after the third one died(one that was directly in front of the cave opening) the question mark popped up and I could escort him. I don't know if it was just good timing, but it may be worth a shot to kill all the mobs around the cave mouth first.

Kommentar von Raginbum1

ive already killed every fire elemental in the area a few times and still no Ringo =(

Kommentar von Kansani

When Ringo was bugging for me, I just sent in a Ticket, and the GM's respawned him. Piece of cake :P

Kommentar von 452994

Just tried it today and it is still bugged.
Ringo is next to Spraggle Frock, and stays there even if you drop quest.
Ran into another player trying the quest, and it didn't work for him either.

Kommentar von 452994

GMs claim it is working, not sure if I will take the time to go back and find out.

Kommentar von Stigmata

The question mark is there, but Ringo is not. 4.0.1

Kommentar von 654485

I just found Ringo in the cave today.
However, I did have to wait almost ten minutes for a Horde player to finish the escort before Ringo respawned.
I was able to get the follow up "A Little Help From My Friends".
So good news..... it is NOT bugged nor has it been removed as of 11/19/10.

Kommentar von Species3259

UPDATE ...

I just did the quest so its NOT obsolete (or Blizzard fixed/changed it somehow).

The quest now ends with clicking a sack right outside the cave. There you will get the follow up "A Little Help from my Friends". This quest tells you to interact with Ringo inside.
