| − | Upper Guk is a great dungeon from levels 15-35 or so. The loot isn't the greatest, although Ghoulbane and the ancient croc are two highly prized spawns in the zone. The main problems with this zone are the frequency of trains (which is why it's best to hunt away from the main paths of traffic) as well as the distance from a good bind location. For evil races, this isn't too much of a problem, as grobb is a very short walk away.

| | | | |
| − | The spawn time in Guk is about 16.5 minutes, and everything spawns according to this clock. All spawns are standard Everquest spawns, except the [[Ancient Crocodile]], which has a very odd spawning pattern which I'll discuss in a separate section. The key to hunting in upper Guk is either staying on the move so you don't get backspawned, or finding a good safe spot to pull to and pull monsters to there. Hopefully a safe room out of the way of trains. Pulling singles is very useful, as is staggering spawns here, but with a 16 minute spawn time, you can easily get experience without doing too much far away pulling.

| | | | |
| − | Probably the best groups for Upper Guk are mostly tank groups that can just chew through the frogs. A cleric helps, and a bard is really nice to have. Plus you need some way to stop runners. Casters aren't nearly as important due to the lack of dangerous casting frogs.
| + | Unveiling the Essence of 휴게텔 |

| | | | |
| − | == Dangers ==
| + | While many services are included in the stay, it's prudent to inquire about any potential additional charges for specialized offerings. |
| | | | |
| − | The primary danger in Upper Guk is the sheer number of monsters located within close proximity to each other. It is not uncommon for some rooms to have 5 or more static mobs with several more pathing in and out on patrol routes. There are also a large number of shamans mixed in with the melee classes so expect to deal with heals, nukes and annoying DOT's. Some of the camps are deep within the dungeon and so if something goes wrong (and it almost always does eventually) the zone line is a long way away.
| + | Navigating the 휴게텔 Landscape |
| | + | Embarking on a journey to discover the perfect 휴게텔 is made effortless with dedicated online platforms. A designated section on these platforms allows you to explore a plethora of options across various cities, making the quest for serenity a seamless one. |
| | | | |
| − | == Monsters ==
| + | Moreover, these platforms offer a glimpse into each 휴게텔's unique offerings, allowing you to make an informed choice that aligns with your preferences. |
| | | | |
| − | Frogloks in Guk have a very specific naming convention which can easily help you determine levels/difficulty. There are basically three types of frogloks besides the named ones: warriors, shamans, and knights.
| + | Decoding the Cost Equation |
| | + | The cost factor is an important consideration when selecting a 휴게텔. The financial aspect varies depending on factors such as the duration of your stay and the range of services availed. The cost spectrum generally begins around 20,000 won, making it an accessible option for those seeking a tranquil escape. |
| | | | |
| − | * '''Warriors''' are the standard froglok type, and are basically your standard warrior monster.
| + | However, keep in mind that opting for supplementary services like massages or saunas can lead to additional costs. A comprehensive understanding of potential expenses ensures a seamless experience. |
| − | * '''Shamans''' are shaman types of mobs. They go down quick, but they can cast spririt of the wolf and healing which is very annoying. They can also root. They are very fond of casting drowsy/walking sleep which slows down your attack rate. It's best to kill shamans before warriors. Typically 1 or 2 levels lower than their warrior counterparts.
| |
| − | * '''Knights''' are just like warriors, except typically 2 or 3 levels higher, and they seem to have higher ac and strength than the standard warrior type of monsters.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Additionally, there are different clans of frogloks, which range from level 14 to level 47. In upper guk, they go up to level 31.
| + | Embracing Tranquility: A Concluding Thought |
| − | | + | In a nutshell, 휴게텔 embodies the art of relaxation and rejuvenation. These establishments serve as havens of tranquility, offering a retreat from the ordinary and a chance to unwind. With their strategic locations and comprehensive services, 휴게텔 beckon both locals and travelers to embrace a moment of calm amidst life's chaos. |
| − | * Wimps - Sentrys, guards, sentinels, neophytes and tads all range from 1-12. They drop netted and woven.
| |
| − | * Tuk - These range from about 12-16, and are the weakest kind. They drop woven armor and can be found mostly in the entry area of guk.
| |
| − | * Gaz - These range from 16-20, and drop mesh armor. They are a little distance from the entry, and are relatively easy to pull to the zone.
| |
| − | * Ton - These range from 19-24. They are found over most of upper guk, on the bottom floor.
| |
| − | * Vis - These are the shaman counterparts to Ton. There are very few seen in guk.
| |
| − | * Shin - These range from 25-31, with the knights only being found near the entrance to lower guk live side. The knights are also found in lower guk. This clan is in charge of upper guk.
| |
| − | * Nok - The shaman counterparts to the Shin warriors.
| |
| − | * Tsu - Very rare to see one of these in upper guk, they are the shaman counterparts to the Wan knights in lower guk.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Given these level ranges, you can easily pick an area of guk to hunt in depending on your levels. Killing massive amounts of low blues is by far the best way to get experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some of the other mobs in guk are Heart Spiders (poisonous, non aggro, social, around level 15), Swampwater crocs (non aggro, around level 10), and Fungus men.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the fungus farm, there are: | |
| − | | |
| − | * Fungus Soldier - weak melee critter.
| |
| − | * Fungus Breeder - druid type, casts stinging swarm, which is no joke if you're trying to solo it.
| |
| − | * Fungus Ancient - I haven't gotten it to spawn yet, just heard them casting a few times.
| |
| − | * Fungus Drones - will heal any fungus in range, so unless you can unload HARD its best to pull targets away from the room.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Benefits ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite the above mentioned dangerousness of the zone, this has to be one of the most popular dungeons in the game, the only problem with this is that it is so far away from the majority of players, and the difficulty at getting bound nearby for any of the good races. There are several reasons for this, but the largest is that the frogloks are just plain rich. Even the lowliest froglok possesses woven armor, which is about the equivalent of banded armor for mage classes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is also a large amount of good equipment to be had in Upper Guk. Many of the items are on characters wish lists, and the added benefit of making some great experience while waiting for the critter who carries it to spawn is worthwhile.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Suggested Hunting==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Levels 1-15. Probably stay near the entry zone and hunt pull the weenie frogs. Be careful on the C bridge, it can be hard to navigate, and falling off can be a major pain.
| |
| − | * Levels 15-20. Either hunt in the same area and pull gaz from near the idealist room. Or hunt near the heart spiders and pull from the scryer room.
| |
| − | * Levels 20-25. Hunt near the froglok warden or near the dead zone to lower guk. The danger of hunting near lower guk zone is that people will occassionally train stuff to there while running to lower guk.
| |
| − | * Levels 25-30. Now you can either hunt the barracks and do the shin lord with a good group, or move to near the saltwater/ancient croc and do tons and shin warriors. The ancient croc room is nice because there is a zone right by there which is very safe since there's never anything on the other side.
| |
| − | * Levels 30-35. The only place left to hunt are the shins and nok by the live side of lower guk. Ancient room is good for this, as well as right by the live zone. At 34-35 the dungeon starts greening out, and in a large group you'll probably have trouble finding blues to hunt. Time to move to lower guk.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Popular Camps ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''AC'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Ancient Crocodile" is a mob commonly camped for his sought-after +wis pants.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Scryer'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | A common strategy when holding this room is to sit in the hallway just beyond at the top of the ramp. There is only one froglok which spawns here and you are then free to pull from both the scryer room and the room below.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Lower Guk Zone Line'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is a great spot to sit if you have decent group as there are a ton of higher level frogloks in the area to pull. Though maybe not a camp in the traditional sense since there is no specific loot, I've found it to be the best exp I've gotten in upper guk so far.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Traveling To and From Upper Guk ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is one entrance into Upper Guk from the [[Innothule Swamp]]. The entrance is guarded on the outside by two froglok guards, and on the inside has a narrow corridor guarded by at least one higher level froglok guard.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are a few entrances to [[Lower Guk]] from deep within the zone, as indicated on the map.
