Not sure why he's not listed under the bestiary list.

In a lone ruined building in the valley from Warsliks Wood tunnel. Loc 2754, 1109. Red to 21 monk (Duh! lol) Indifferent, no response to hail except to turn and face me.

I was on my way to Warslik's Woods and happend to hit track. This mob was up and conned white to a 65. Perhaps a new mob for epics? Who knows.. Hope this helps someone. :)

As to your comment on the Gobbie Messenger.. I was after a gobbie skull earring in Wars Woods other day and noticed a Gobbo messenger at the camp.

found a weird event in the chancellor room of the sarnak fortress.

there was a skelly on one of the tables, didnt con (i.e probly level 0) i hit it and it spawned about 50 scorpion hatchlings, only 1 dropped anything which was "a cursed talisman", i dont know what its for but id say its something to do with omens with all the weird stuff thats been going on with omens

Lingering Axefall, conned DB and Indif to 40 Iksy Warrior, any clue as to what this mob is for, was headed to bed so didn't bother to slap him around. Dwarf Ghost, if it is out tomorrow might give him a try, will also get loc and pic and try to get more info, didn't respond to hials.

A Bloodgill Goblin Scavenger

Spawns in the lake. Around level 40, drops "Silver Oxide" for the Champion's Mancatcher quest.

New mob I saw here today. In the noob area near Cab, didn't drop anything.

I ran into a new mob today as I was running east from the FM zone. It was a ghost dwarf, and I found him floating in the pass like area in the mountain ridge that runs north-south parallel with the path to goblin mines. He was green to me at 61 (BST) and died rather quickly without the use of my pet. He dropped no loot and unfortunately I don't remember his name (it did have "axe" in it though). I have spent ALOT of time in LOIO over the past 2 or 3 years and never saw this mob before. The model for this mob seemed rather advanced compared to the other Kunark-era mobs in LOIO, and his disembodied head floated quite amusingly for a second or 2 before it joined the rest of his body after he died. Any one have a clue?

Found a mob which could be called "A sarnak Newborn" in English (playing on the French server), it was level 3. Never seen him before, he dropped "A small Sarnak Head" and "a small Sarnak Brain". Does anybody know what it's for ?

I am an enchanter looking to get my reserch component: part of taserin's grimoire p.26 left and right. I read here that I could get it from goblin battlemasters. I tried to find them, to no avail until I went to lake of ill omens. This is supposed to be a newbie zone, well its not! Not only is it EXTREMELY easy to get lost, but also killed back 4 levels!!! I'm seriously thinking on dropping EQ for its lack of logic by making the game impossible to move around in and making the enchanter class unable to fend for itself. Make it the weakest casting class, sure, but at least give it a pet that balances it out!!!

The Dragon Fededar comes out at midnight one holloween in differnt time zones(12pm ur time zone) but he also comes out at other times he is druid epic dragon:) I am currently looking for him i know how to spawn him but dont know were he spawns. any suggestions?

I take it that know one has seen the undead dragon that comes out on halloween in Lake of Ill Omen. It is said that at midnight on halloween he comes from the lake and is an extremely high level....

Who is Crix Tzo'mok? I saw him posted near the back of Sarnak Fortress (he is a Sarnak) near tower and stood for at least couple minutes while I buffed (with VE/GA) and got the guts to attack him (with SS/ED/BB). I am a level 30 Iksar SK and he conned red. With decent equipment, non-twink, I got him down to 75% before he got me to 11% where I fell within a few hits.
In addition: after dieing again going for CR and about 20 minutes later he was still there and indifferent. I even got into a fight with a Sarnak Recruit and his conn didnt change.

Make that a 28 warrior

No way the explorers are lvl 29, i solo them with a 21 Necro. Usually I have to FD to get them separated, but then it is on.

You say, 'Hail, Syrik Iceblood'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Oh, hello. You caught me while I was in thought. Currently I am researching the methodology used in smithing weapons during the age of [Veksar]. If you wish to help, let me know. I will take any [help] available, be it friend or foe to the legions of Cabilis.''
You say, 'What is Veksar?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Veksar was an opulent resort enjoyed by privileged nobles and generals of the empire. It was built near a small freshwater spring with legendary restorative properties, this small outpost was considered one of the finest treasures of the realm. Highly-ranked Iksar from the empire came here to cure their illness and extend their lives with the mystical [waters]. This town was originally created by the Kylong tribe of Iksar, but was assimilated into the ranks of Venril Sathir when he united the five tribes. Many [legendary Iksar] lived there.''
You say, 'What about the legendary Iksar?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''When the Kunzar armies marched upon the Kylong, the three greatest Kylong mystics shattered the medallion of Kylong, a holy relic of their tribe, and fled their mountain homes in order to prevent the Kunzar from reassembling it. These three Kylong were [Verix Kylox], [Dakon Sythrax], and [Sirk Vemat]. As they fled from their tribe they knew that the chances to form the medallion together would be less if the Kylong split up. Verix attempted to hide in the hills of the Dreadlands. Dakon headed north to the Field of Bone. Sirk Vemat headed to the Burning Woods to hide in the forest.''
You say, 'Who is Verix Kylox?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Venril Sathir found Verix Kylox the shaman while he was combining the lands for undead. Venril was angered by his lack of devotion. For his punishment he was sacrificed, but resurrected to become a part of Venril's undead army.''
You say, 'Who is Dakon Sythrax?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Dakon Sythrax the necromancer fled to the Field of Bone. It was here that he raised a small troop of skeletons to build an underwater dungeon where he could hide his treasures. He hid the amulet and some of his more powerful tomes here. One of which was a great [book of necromancy]. The possessor of the book could have full control over an army of undead. He left the skeletons to do his work and returned to surrender to the Kunzar's forces. He was sent to Veksar to work through his days studying the effects of the spring.''
You say, 'What about this Book of Necromancy?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Xalgoz later discovered the cove and he took the medallion back to the five towers of Teraaz, which is now referred to as Kaesora. He left all of the tomes because he did not find them of particular interest. Decades after the war between the dragons and Iksar, a troll that fell from a passing ship found Sythrax's small cove. The skeletons milled around in disarray. After finding the book and reading what of it he could he found that the skeletons would do his bidding. I have heard rumors that Sythrax was able to assume the form of a great lich to live through the decades. His hatred for being trapped, and for being forced to work for Venril has built over the ages. He only wants to escape this place so he can retrieve his medallion and books that he believes to be in the Field of Bone.'
You say, 'Who is Sirk Vemat?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''The Sarnak captured Sirk Vemat the warrior. They took him to Chardok where they forced him to work in mining out caves that would be used as their city. He still carried the medallion of the Kylong. He knew that in death they would find it on his body so he decided to hide it. He dug a hole as deep into the mountain as he could and placed it in the hole and covered it over. I have heard tales that a slaving rat by the name of Niblek would find the necklace. Niblek's love for shiny things meant that he would keep it with him, but would offer it as trade to anyone that had his favorite type of gems.''
You say, 'What waters?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Veksar was guarded from the constant attack of dragons and the skulking bands of goblins living in the nearby hills. For years the city thrived with all sorts of visitors. Soldiers harmed by the war were sent here to mend their wounds. High-ranking officials came here to relax and escape the tedium of war. Even Iksar commoners came here desperate to cure whatever ailed them. Since the war with the dragons was always escalating, a massive dome was built overhead to keep the attacks of the dragons away. In spite of efforts, the [dragons] found a way to attack.''
You say, 'What dragons?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Trakanon sent many dragons here to scout out why this town was so popular. After learning about the Iksar being healed, he knew that he had to take action on the city. He formed a plan to first cripple the cities walls so that their own dome would trap them, and then flood the waters of the healing spring. This would not only trap them, but also dilute the waters, preventing any further healing from taking place. [Garudon] would lead in the direct attack of the town.''
You say, 'Who is Garudon?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''During the formation of Trakanon's ranks he did not garner the support he desired. One of the first dragons to come to his side was Garudon. He quickly grew to be Trakanon's most trusted ally, and aided in drawing support from the dragon ranks. Because of his high ranking position Garudon would lead the [fight] against Veksar.''
You say, 'What fight against Veksar?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Veksar was an opulent resort enjoyed by privileged nobles and generals of the empire. It was built near a small freshwater spring with legendary restorative properties, this small outpost was considered one of the finest treasures of the realm. Highly-ranked Iksar from the empire came here to cure their illness and extend their lives with the mystical [waters]. This town was originally created by the Kylong tribe of Iksar, but was assimilated into the ranks of Venril Sathir when he united the five tribes. Many [legendary Iksar] lived there.''
You say, 'What fight?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''The Dragons clawed at the supporting pillars of the dome. The town began to shake and the dome began to fall. The Dragons fled from the pillars, but one was trapped. Garudon was caught in a snare set up by the town's defense. Crumbling to the ground, the dome sealed their fate. Garudon fought with the Iksar from under the dome with no hope from escaping. The Dragons then called upon the waters to flow, and flood the valley. The spring was flooded, its magical properties lost forever. The soldiers finally brought down Garudon. With his last breath he let out a flame the scorched much of the dome and then fell from the air, crashing through the ceiling of the theatre that was built to entertain the Iksar on the mend. Most of his [bones] still remain there, while others were ground up in necromantic ceremonies.''
You say, 'What bones?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''Scout reports tell of his bones laying scattered across the floor of the theater. Because a constant surge of necromancy was needed to keep the citizens of Veksar animated it could not be stopped. They would have to find a way to prevent the magic from flowing into the theater and reanimating Garudon himself. The mystic words painted onto the wall of the theater seem to point to the fact that the flow of necromancy into the theater is stifled. This is all the lore of the town of Veksar that I can recall.''
You say, 'What help?'
Syrik Iceblood says ''We can tell from the weapons that we have taken back from the Bloodgill goblins, that their smithing process must have been very unique for them to remain so sharp after four thousand years of use. Cabilis would like to study the weapons and learn this technique so we can better outfit our troopers. If you will bring me four of the same weapon I will spread your name through our city, and one day you may be able to walk the streets. I am looking for Steel Ch'Ror, Mak'Stor, So'Shar, Ta'Nak, Ga'Nak, and Re'Stek. Until then I will reward you with whatever coin I can get from turning them in for you.''

This guy is an Iksar Monk, 65. Indifferently to everyone, even if you have bad faction with Iksars (na na I don't =P). Give him FOUR of the same STEEL WEAPONS found in Veksar (I.E. Four (4) Steel Ga`Tnok) and you'll get something close to this:
Syrik Iceblood says ''Excellent work Emancer. We will study the architecture of these weapons to better the legions of Cabilis. Soon your name will be known among the Iksar.''
Your faction standing with Syrik Iceblood got better.
Your faction standing with Legion Of Cabilis could not possibly get any better.
Your faction standing with Cabilis Residents got better.
Your faction standing with Scaled Mystics got better.
Your faction standing with Crusaders Of Greenmist got better.
Your faction standing with Swift Tails got better.
You gain experience!!
You receive 6 silver from Syrik Iceblood.
You receive 12 gold from Syrik Iceblood.
You receive 12 platinum from Syrik Iceblood.

I am going to give him a set of each one, and see what that does. HE HAS HIS OWN FACTION- So you know he's a quest giver when you get better than Indifferently with him. He also mentioned something about "Book of Necromancy" and I will not stop until I have Max Faction with this guy and have completed all his quests... also, remember him talking about Sythrax? Well, go to FoB, the shoreline, and go RIGHT from Tangrin's island. Keep swimming, until you see a pillar sticking out of the water. Swim underneath, and you'll see an entrance. Everything he says is true. I killed the Troll there, and looting something called, "Sythrax Building Plans." Gave them to him, he gave them back, said he had no use; unreadable, too. I will get the rat in Chardok's necklace, and the other piece and see what I can find out. I will have max faction with this guy in a few days- trust me, I have no life. =P Life of a Necro...

Since I can't post in the unimplemented Veksar post I'll just post here about my opinoin on the zone...

If you go here and read the story on Zebuxoruk, it says that there is a hidden city that worships him. It has not yet been found though.
http://eqlive.station.sony.com/library/sub_deities.jsp <-- the link

My guess is that Veksar is that city... I wonder if you need to talk about Zebuxoruk to get a key to get in?

Interesting....I also came across this NPC today, Im pretty sure he has never been their before as I have lvl'd many characters in this zone. He gives out a quest asking for claws and hearts from different kinds of Deathwing drakes, ranging from ??Servant?? to Lord. Im about to get online and see if I can find some of these deathwings and take em out. Ill post more on the quest after I check it out.

Skkary Shaolin 48Monk

LoIO is AWESOME for xp. I've lvl'ed 2 char's there from lvl 21 to 30 in 10 days...of course playing for 5-6 hours at each attempt to play. All you have to do is find the right group of peers, find near same lvl's and and watch the lvl's fly. Not to mention this zone is fun to check out after lvl 30. It's always fun to kick the &%#( out of goblins, lol. good luck to the new folks coming into the zone for the first time. =)

i found drakes...called deathwing hunter..badass mofos real undercons..go from id say 27-28 to 31-32

Being a Dark Elf I was wondering where I could bank and sell in this zone without being KOS when I walk in the door?

My research shows that the Sarnak Flunkie has the spell/scroll Words of Tyranny. Anyone kill these and find it? This is needed for my level 16 pet spell

Shirok
Dark-Elf mage level 14

By same name do you mean Ambassador D'Vinn in CB, or Fullic reappears in CB too? Anyone hailed the other D'Vinn about this? (I know that sounds stupid, but I haven't played in months. :p) He was indifferent to my DE, too. I haven't been able to find any drakes- he said 'in the area' and talked about shipments, maybe they're in another zone? Anyone?
