You say, 'Hail, Binkl Dirkwafer'

Binkl Dirkwafer says, 'Ey! What're you doin' here! This is my home. Shoo. Look at you. What's wrong with you. Here in the middle of giant rotting flesh beasts, abnormal trees, fanged giant death horselike things and youre worried about pleasantries? GO AWAY! You are insane.'

I love stuff like this... and this is what makes Everquest such a special game! A strange NPC seemingly out of place in a dangerous and strange zone and as far as anyone can tell he serves NO purpose!

Gotta love it!

I don't think this will interest a lot of people but the name of this NPC is 'Binkl Dirkwafer' with an 'F' in its name and not 'DirkwaTer'.

In response to my query on the EQLive forums, RainbirdEQ (a dev) responded:

Quote:
Hmm, to be honest I have no clue what Binkl is for. I did some digging and he doesn't have a quest item drop on him. He doesn't have any Quests on him (so there is NOTHING to turn into him). He might have been part of a quest that never got done but there is no way for me to find that out now. Maybe he's just meant to be flavor. /shrug


The original response may be found here.

Though I have to admit I'm a little disappointed, having a random crazy Gnome around is kinda fun. :)

No real loot.

Dropped nothing but 5 plat or so when killed tonight.

No faction hits.

We had a raid of 18-20 people there to kill the Swarmfiend, and this was way overkill.

I snared him and brought him over to the safe valley and evaced myself. When I went back he was still there in a safe place for me to mess with him so he's not rooted or tethered to his fireplace.

If you say "What are you doing here?" he says something to the effect that he's living in his home and that I should go to mine.

I also said a bunch of other things to him which ended with "I'm going to #*)( kill you." So finally I engaged him with only self buffs on. To my surprise, he summons and can triple for up to 150ish. At around 17% he gates. He's not a trivial mob for me to solo (a 65 druid with almost 200AAs and EP gear) -- if he had not gated, I would have had about 4 or 5% mana left when I had killed him.

I've been unable to drag guildies out to UP to kill him and see what (if anything) he drops. They're mainly worried that they'll ruin an unfixable faction. /sigh

I managed to off him tonight. I charmed a zelniak, went over and had it start pounding on him. He was taking a pretty good beating when the $*#() dispelled my snare so I evaced (zelniaks in UP aren't snareable so I was pretty SoL). When I came back, the two were still duking it out.

When Binkl got to 16%, he gated and regenned to 33%. This left him with a little more health than the zelniak so as soon as he killed the zelniak, I started alternating stuns and nukes on him. He went down fast but dropped nothing but some coin. He gave no death message and no faction adjustments.

Binkl Dirkwafer says 'I'm trying to live in my home. Now go to yours. Scram!'


For the sake of being complete, his spawn point is at about -720, -1260. I'm waiting to find out his respawn time now.

I had to rate your post to Awful. So you managed to "off" a quest NPC. That does nothing to advance the knowledge of the quest he gives.

Well, to everyone's knowledge, there -is- no quest attached to him; that's why he's listed as 'non-quest' up there. He's not the only 'loose thread' in Everquest.

He's a crazy gnome living in the middle of a lethal wacky-land, and people are merely curious what the creators had intended when they put him there O_o

Your post is even more useless than his is, so you are rating unfairly.

I've been fascinated with this guy ever since I farmed my Elysian gear. A small and probably insignificant update -- I went to talk to him today and here's what I got:

You say, 'Hail, Binkl Dirkwafer'

Binkl Dirkwafer says, 'Ey! What're you doin' here! This is my home. Shoo. Look at you. What's wrong with you. Here in the middle of giant rotting flesh beasts, abnormal trees, fanged giant death horselike things and youre worried about pleasantries? GO AWAY! You are insane.

You say, 'What pleasantries?'

Binkl Dirkwafer blinks and stares at you for a moment. 'Are you daft?'

You say, 'What home?'

Binkl Dirkwafer says 'Fleh! Don't make fun of my home. It's my home. Go Away.'

I also tried the following:

what away?
what daft?
I am daft
what insane?
I am insane
what beasts?
what trees?
what giant death horselike things?
what akheva?
what vex thal?
what umbral planes?
what giant rotting flesh beasts?
what fireplace?
what chimney?
what away?
what here?

None of which illicited a response from Mr. Dirkwafer.

A side note, he is a magician because he "began to cast" magician spells like the mage flame resist/damage shield while I was standing near him.

P.S. the name listed for him is spelled wrong. It's Binkl Dirkwafer not Blinkl Dirwater.
