Objectives

Search for the objects the Monkey King has described in his riddle.

•  [Odd Smelling Brew]

Description

My weapon is great when in a fight,
It's even handy when you sit for a bite.

My favorite flask I've tied on it, hanging from a cord,
The brews within are some of the best that I've ever scored.

If you truly seek my weapon then bring me something nice to put into my belly,
A powerful brew is what I want, something strong and smelly.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 19 40
• 14,800 XP

Progress

Ah, it returns. Has the wikkit brought what I'm looking for?

Completion

Them greenies were really curious about this smelly brew. It's powerful and smelly, I wonder if it's delicious too?

Notes

Travel to the Imperial Granary in the Valley of Four Winds and go to the second floor inside the building. Kill Vadis to obtain the brew.

Vadis yells: Ohh! This taste! I must have more!

Vadis yells: No! You no take! I kills the thief!

Vadis says: Noooooo! Mine...

After concluding that part, an image of The Monkey King briefly appears.

The Monkey King says: What smells like dook? Oh, it is this strong brew. Wikket watch out! Don't spill it on you!
