You can repeat the mission once per day. You may also delete the quest and wait approximately 10 minutes to be offered a new one.
Steps
The quest will ask you to capture 11 monsters, from one of the following categories, in an empty familiar cage that you receive from the Steward. Below are some suggestions for monsters that should update the quest, but these are not meant to be an exhaustive list.
- Amphibians:
- Turtles (bestiary) and frogs (bestiary).
- Examples include muck toads in the Peat Bog or small sand tortoises in Outpost of the Overlord.
- Aquatic creatures:
- Crocodiles (bestiary) and crabs (bestiary).
- Examples include coastal crabs in Queen's Colony and brine sifters in Sunken City.
- Note: while fish and octopus are classified as Aquatic in some listings (such as EQ2 Zam's Bestiary), they will not update the quest.
- Bats:
- Creatures from the bat category (bestiary).
- Examples include stygian screechers in Darklight Wood or shale bats in the Caves.
- Bears:
- Creatures from the bear category (bestiary).

- Note that boarfiends will not update the quest. Hellboars (bestiary) also do not appear to update the quest.
- There are very few spawn locations for boars, so you may want to consider deleting the quest and requesting a new one in ten minutes.
- Examples include the linked swines in Nektropos Castle. You will, however, have to zone out and back in repeatedly to obtain enough spawns for the 11 kills. Note that the single triple-up swine cannot be caged, and the Swine Lord will not update the quest; the encounter must be the version with 2 or 3 linked swine.

Hints and tips
- To capture a monster, you need to be hated by the encounter, but you must not kill the encounter before you have used the cage.
- Many heroic encounters, raid encounters and non-attackable NPCs (such as the pigs in Windstalker Village) may not be caged. Some of these monsters may nevertheless display the quest icon (sack) on their names.
- If caging a low level monster, you may want to engage the encounter with your autoattack turned off (or not wielding weapons), with an ability that does not deal damage.
See also
- The classification of animals to be caged is the same as used for the Beastlord and Channeler classes, so you may find the beastlord warders page and the channeler construct pages helpful. Similarly, the Guide to Beastlord Warders may be useful. Monsters can be searched by classification on the ZAM Bestiary.
