More on Muck and farming for Muckbane
5 March 2010 - The link above does not seem to be working.

I found out something about Muck and this seemed to be the place to record it. Muck's spawning is definitely tied to the opening of the Western back door, which is controlled by the valve the Eastern brother's room. I did the Western brother's room first, used that valve to open the Eastern back door, bypassed the Eastern brother's room and headed straight to where Muck spawns, just inside the Western back door. No chest, and no Muck. I went back and did the Eastern brother's room and did the valve there out of habit. When I went back, Muck's chest was there (and locked). Muck had wandered off a bit, but he was there.

So if you are just looking for Muckbane, you could theoretically head straight to the Eastern brother's room, operate that valve, then head for the Western door to see if Muck spawned.

I have done this quest almost 20 times now and have only seen Muck twice, and still no glass club. Here's hoping you have better luck!

The only other advice I have for Muckbane farmers is to use a two-handed wooden club. Wooden items don't seem to get damaged as often as metal; clubs are cheap; and by going two-handed, you also save your shield (if any) from getting dinged up.
