For details and maps go to http://www.graffe.com/, under quests you will find howling stones key.
If you are a high level player looking to for adventure in the depths of the dungeon of Howling Stones, you will need to do this quest. In order to gain entry into Howling Stones, you need a key. In order to obtain that key, you need to complete the following quest.
This quest starts in the Swamp of No Hope with a froglok named Dugroz along with his pet skeleton. You can find Dugroz in a cave within the cave that leads to Trakanons Teeth. The easiest way is to get to the waterfall cliff in the Swamp of No Hope. Turn around and head into the cave that leads to the Trakanon’s Teeth zone line. Along the right-hand wall of the cave there is a very small opening (+1147.05, -4000.00, +196.22) to a smaller cave. Go in that cave, invis yourself, and follow the wall left. You will pass a few froglok shin shamans, and some froglok gaz knights before you come to Dugroz. He is in a room with two froglok gaz knights. His standing location is +419.33, -4020.66, +198.26. Dugroz considers dubious to most. To speak to him, you will need to get a druid to turn you into wolf form. Upon speaking to him, he will tell you he needs two items in return for the key to Howling Stones. These two items are the Jade Chodikai Prod and the Xalgozian Fang.
The Jade Chodikai Prod (note: this stat pic was taken on the opening day of Kunark. The Prod is now Shaman Only) can be found upon Chancellor of Di`zok. The Chancellor is a level 35-40, shaman classed sarnak with a pet, that can be found in the very back of the sarnak fortress in Lake of Ill Omen. He spawns once every two hours and he may or may not drop the Prod every time. If he has the Prod, you will see him wielding it.
The Xalgozian Fang is dropped by Xalgoz, in the church very deep inside Kaesora. If you are a level 50+ caster, there is a chance of you doing this solo but it is much easier if you get a group of 3 or more level 50+ to clear the area around Xalgoz and kill him off with no incidents. Xalgoz or his place holder spawns once every 28 minutes and drops the fang about 75% of the time. The church room spawn is 18 minutes.
Once you have both pieces, head back to the Swamp of No Hope and find Dugroz. There are conflicting reports that due to Dugroz being dubious or worse to most races/classes, he may or may not give you the key once you hand over the two items. To be safe, get a wolf form, initiate dialogue with him, go through ALL of the dialogue, and then hand over the pieces. This way you should be sure to get your key. There are reports of wolf form not even working though. Dugroz is on beta-neutral faction.
Notes:
Reports on the Dugroz cave are that you can kill the gaz knights next to Dugroz without him being provoked. Even while you are ‘glower dubious’ with him.
Reports are that Dugroz will give you the dialogue AND the key even if you are ‘glower dubious’ to him.
