Hunt for [[Succulent Juniper]]s to feed [[Old Mac]]'s pet [[Devourer]], [[Joe]].

== Quest information ==

=== Requirements ===
{{ Standard prerequisites
| campaign = prophecies
}}

=== Objectives ===
* Speak with Old Mac in [[Deldrimor Bowl]].
* Feed Joe [10...0] more [[Succulent Juniper Meat]]s.
* Speak with Old Mac in Deldrimor Bowl.
* Return to [[Master Saberlin]] for your reward.

=== Reward ===
* 400 [[Experience]]
* 100 [[Gold]] ({{reforgedmode}} only)
* {{w}} {{skill icon|Flurry}}
* {{r}} {{skill icon|Pin Down}}
* {{mo}} {{skill icon|Divine Spirit}}
* {{n}} {{skill icon|Rotting Flesh}}
* {{me}} {{skill icon|Shatter Enchantment}}
* {{e}} {{skill icon|Lightning Strike}}

== Walkthrough ==
Head out from the outpost, talk to Old Mac, and then follow the path to where the plants are. There are some [[Centaur]] [[patrol]]s to clear out first, but once that's done, the Succulent Junipers are easy kills. Then just feed Joe and go speak to Old Mac again.

You have to keep Joe alive to feed him; if he dies, you will need to re-zone to finish the quest. However, you can continue to collect Succulent Juniper Meat after he dies. If you collect all 10 before returning to Beacon's Perch, you can feed Joe immediately after leaving the outpost. You can also collect the Succulent Juniper Meat before speaking to Old Mac so that Joe does not follow you into danger. Since you'll need to talk to Old Mac to continue the quest anyway, leaving Joe with him won't cost you any time.

== NPCs ==

=== Allies ===
[[Human]]
* {{W}} 7 (20) [[Old Mac]]
[[Devourer]]
* {{R}} 8 (20) [[Joe]]

=== Foes ===
[[Plant]]s
* {{mo}} 7 (23) [[Succulent Juniper]]

== Dialogue ==

=== Initial dialogue ===
; Master Saberlin
: ''"We are short on every major supply and to make matters worse, that damnable pet of '''Old Mac's''' is eating what remains of our meat. See if you can talk to the man and find some way to feed his pet without sacrificing our remaining food stores. I've tried myself and his pet almost ate me! Mac is on guard duty just outside Beacon's Perch in '''Deldrimor Bowl'''.''

: ''Can you help me out with this?"''
{{ Offer dialog
| accept = I'll speak with Mac.
| decline = You're on your own.
| ask = Please try to reason with '''Old Mac'''. You can find him on watch just outside of Beacon's Perch near the entrance to '''Deldrimor Bowl'''.
}}

=== Intermediate dialogue ===
; Old Mac
: ''"I know that Joe here can be a bit of a glutton but it isn't his fault! He's a growing young Devourer and he's got to keep his strength up if he's to help me defend things around here. His favorite food is those Succulent Junipers that grow north of here, but I can't take him to go get them since I'm on duty.''

: ''Would you help me out and go take Joe foraging with you? If you feed him about 10 of the Succulent Juniper Meats that should keep him content for a long while."''

'''Joe''' (when you feed him Succulent Juniper Meats)
: ''"Crunch. Crunch. Crunch."''

; Old Mac
: ''"There's a good lad Joe, all full? Thank you for taking such good care of Joe, <Character Name>. You go tell Master Saberlin that he doesn't have to worry about Joe any longer."''

===Reward dialogue===
; Master Saberlin
: ''"So you're sure that devourer is sated? Well then, good work, <Character Name>. That should help our food situation a bit. I hate to say it, but it helps having that creature around; we haven't had an [[Ettin]] attack in days."''

== Notes ==
* There are two [[spawn]] locations for the Junipers, noted on the map. Typically you need only one in order to complete the quest and if [[Joe]] gets stuck on a tree you won't see the second location until you find him and feed him.
* There will be fewer centaurs after [[To Kryta: Refugees]].
* This quest is useful for farming [[Alpine Seed]]s. After initiating the first time, avoid speaking to Joe or [[Old Mac]] when you [[Zone|rezone]].

{{bug|Joe sometimes becomes stuck between two small trees}}
{{Anomaly|If you have more then 10 pieces of meat in your inventory, and then feed Joe, he will take all of the pieces of meat from your [[inventory]].}}
{{Anomaly|After feeding Joe the 10 pieces of meat, if you leave the instance before talking to Old Mac he will not continue with his dialogue. However the quest will update allowing you to talk to Master Saberlin to collect your reward.}}
