Dyllin Starsine
Quest NPC
Uploaded July 24th, 2007
Dyllin Starsine is found in a smuggler camp in Highpass Hold. He is perhaps one of the more camped people in the game due to his posession of a page of Veishell's Tome.
Be warned that the smugglers around him will assist him, if they're within range.

You used to be able to kill him without a problem. Just wait until the smugglers stop wandering and then go at him with all you've got. Now, if you attack him and there's a smuggler so much as across the room, they'll be on you. I didn't bother trying to Harmony them and attack, I was sick of being killed.

Hiya,
I was third in line for this guy, so I helped two others get him beforehand. Which means I saw and timed three spawns. Between the first and second spawn was 6 hours and 20 minutes and between the second and third spawn was 7 hours. I sent myself a message with the EQ mail system so I had a timestamp. The messages are about a minute or so lagged (had to type out the messages and all that).

The guy that was second line told me about a theory where the spawn timer counts down by five minutes until it hits six hours. The above disproves that. Looks like he spawns randomly between 6 to 8 hours of the last kill.
Lastly, he has about 600 hps.
Good luck

I dont know how many hps he has but a 1k nuke took him out in 1sec. I had nothing better to do and will prolly destroy the page. I killed the high lvl smuggler who hit me for 112 tops and around 80. He was easy at lvl60 druid, but i didn't see any xp increase as he conned blue.
just wanted to say thank you guys for all the great advice! been looking for this guy for a while but i couldn't find the hide out. i chose to bind myself to a safe location, rooted & dotted Dyllin then hid out of sight while i waited. i was expecting to see the tough smuggler and he didn't disappoint me! i just rooted him, backed up & waited for Dyllin to die. i had to root the smuggler a couple of times, but once Dyllin died, i just gated out. np thanks to you!

I got my 32 cleric a couple of cloudy potions so I could get in here ok, searched for 5 minutes to find the water entrance, once there I found this guy, looked around for smugglers like you guys said. I only saw one go by and he was green, and then there was nothing for a minute. I then cast instill on this guy, hit him with two nukes and a stun spell to finish it off. What an easy kill.
how much hp i wanna know how long it would take me to whack him!

I recomend that you pull this guy away from that sumggler that hits for over 100 and Druids cast harmony on that smuggler he's really hard.

watch out when killing this guy, smugglers around him can reach very high lvls, my 32 cleric was just wiped out by one of them, most conned green, but there were a few reds, and one saw me attacking his friend and killed me within 5 seconds

Are there PHers we should be killing like the other smuglers? or just have to sit and wait for him to show up?
27 posts
8 hour spawn cycle, no PHs. Spawns 8 hours from the last time he got waxed. Also spawns like all other mobs right after server resets and patches.

Earlier today I went there with my 41 paladin thinkin ill see if hes there and if he is than ill kill him and run my cleric over. well it didint work that way, I slaughtered him in about 3 blows and some chick wiped me all over the floor
5 posts
He has a 6-8 hour spawn timer, I camped him when I was about 41 and he was easy as hell to take down, just use hide (im DE) or something like that, dont count on invis spells as much because you might be waiting for a while, theres a red smuggler walkin around, watch out for him. He spawns near the forge over by the corner in the yard.

i am 31 and i just killed him today and i still got the page 30 so have fun and watch out for that red walking smuggler

Can I still kill this guy for the page if I am 30? Or am I too high a level??

This has been a great help. i studied the 45+ smugglers movements like someone suggested, got used to his pattern.
Waited around for about 15 mins and he popped. Bout 2 mins later the res smug left for the water. Just as he got round the corner i casted root, then snare, then creeping drud.
Cast 1 nuke (CL) and he broke root. Re-rooted him, Cast 2 more CL and he hit the deck. Looted his stuff and got outta there sharpish...
(On a side note, I dunno how long exactly it took me to kill him, but I would guess around 30 secs, (lvl27 druid), so I was able to get out before the 45+ smug was even back)

I have been checking the smugglers area constantly. I have yet to see him or anyone esle in the area. Am I right that he spawns in the area by the merchant style tent near the oven and kiln, not far from the two rouge trainers in High Hold Pass? Everything I read leans to that and that he is purely on a 7 or 8 hour timer for spawning. Do I need to do anything before to push his spawning? I wanted to get the page from him before I did any of the rest of the quest.
Thanks to everyone who posted information on this page -- it was very helpful.
It was a long camp for me (4 hours), and I did have a minor brush with potential camp stealers. They came running right when he popped (one was a 17 ranger, other a warrior. BTW, when exactly does a ranger use a ToV anyway? Surely he needs both hands for max damage right?). Of course the 55 smuggler was standing right there, and they wanted to take the mob 'cause I wasn't swinging yet. I explained why I was waiting and a little rudeness ensued (including a lot about how I didn't know how to play the game hehe), but in a few seconds both the 55 and the ranger/warrior moved on and I was able to take down Mr Starsine no problemo.
I know there are a lot of people in the game who do not respect the time folks put into long camps like this one, but every time they do I am very glad for the consideration of the hours I took out of RL to sit there. Even when the respect is paid with extreme reluctance as in this case.
Lol, time to mow the lawn now!

Hearing all these disturbing stories of how difficult the camp was and stuff... I just got the ToV tonight. This guy for a camp was not that hard. I stuck my 14 druid I had just started a couple days ago in the smuggler camp, logged the druid and came back on with main monk. Starhine wasn't up at the moment, so I sat down (w/o the afk mind you, just for you DIRTY CAMP STEALERS) where Dyllin spawns and went out for a couple hours. Low and behold when I got back, he is up - I kill him when the 50 smuggler leaves, log my druid, and loot the page. Now, the more difficult part for me was trying to raise faction with the erudites... then 2 hrs later, someone tells me that the erudite in Qey will sell it to me for 2gp :P Oh well, just my story.

Does nobody know the spawn time no this guy. Ive seen 5, 6, 6.5, 7, and 8 hours posted. Seems like nobody knows for sure. Any help would be great, thanks.

If you'll note, at the top of this page his name is listed as Dyllin StarsHine, but in reality, as the accompanying screenshot clearly shows, his name is actually Dyllin Starsine. No "H" involved. Me and a few guildies got into an argument over what his name actually was last night and so I went to camp him to see if it hadn't been changed since the time I camped him and got a screenshot of him, since he's listed here as Starshine. Fortunately he popped in no more than 15 minutes, better than the 5 hours I had to wait for him the other two times, and it was still Starsine. Sure Starshine does sound better and makes more sense, but that's not his freakin' name, so gee, fix it on here already! :)

Yeah I was camping him with my lvl 25 druid to do the Testament of Vanear quest. It's easy to get to his little "nook" there and I just bound in there. Problem was everytime I gated back there he was either camped or not poped. so... one early sunday morning I logged on and was about to start playing my lvl 25 Bard when i decided to check on good only Dyllin. Well low and behold he was there. So I just rooted him and casted Pognip on him. Bad Idea. He risisted all 3 so then the root wore off. Lucklily I had snared him and then I just nuked him till he was dead. A helpful ranger whacked on him too so he wasnt that hard. Just watch the lvl 40+ smuggler don't argo on you. and BTW the Testamanet WELL worth the trouble. 10 wis that you can get for practicaly nothing is well worth my time. Now I need a new tunic. Anyone got any suggestions a lvl 27 druid could get post it.

I fought him twice, once to help another druid get the page, then 7 hours later to get the page for myself. Highest he hit for was 24 I think, but usually from 10-17. I don't remember well enough to say for certain.
Don't know his HPs but at lvl 22 it took about 30 seconds to solo him, he must have around 300-400 maybe? Used stinging swarm and a few careless lightnings to put him down.
One other note about the lvl55 smuggler in that area- sometimes he will not follow the usual path, instead he will just walk back and forth across the clearing where Dyllin spawns. If that happens, wait for Dyllin to start walking around, and harmony the lvl55 smuggler, and also harmony the smuggler closest to the end of the path to the water. Dyllin will walk down that path and stop at the water's edge.
Once he is there just root him, DoT him, and snare him. Hammer away with DDs. He broke root once in each battle, be ready to recast root if he does. It should be a short fight if you're lvl 19 or higher. You can also DS yourself in case you need to melee a bit.

The spawn is seven hours.. ACKKK!
What a nightmare!
Its worth it tho for a +10 wis item.
but since we are druids we have anoher option...
Bind at his spawn site.
( if you are coming from Kith go over second wooden bridge and down ramp.. then jump in the water and swim left thru tunnel... come out in secret smugglers hideout.. go up till you come to center clearing Dylin spawns near the spit under wooden canopy )
then just gate in there from time to time and eventually you'll get lucky.
other tips are:
wait till red con smuggler "wandering dork" goes around the corner. once he does you have 1 minute 30 secs to kill Dylin before he returns and kills you for beating on his little buddy.
Root him so he doesnt get help! and blast way! melee when your oom and if you need to run away go up ramp and jump off wall..then lessor succor or run yer but off or.. if your ld enough port!
maybe you should plan an ecape route first... scope everything out.. dont worry you'll have time.
Good luck

Out of curiosity, my little druid just hit 24 (they grow up so quickly, don't they?), hence has her first wolf form spell. Would the other smugglers join in even if she was in wolfie? I know it works sometimes, but have yet to explore the possibilities.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, the other smuglers would join in even if you are in wolfform..
You are not KOS to the smuglers until you attack Dylin.
Dylin probably cant hurt ya much, but the red smugler would kill you in a few of hits.

About to log back in to camp this guy a bit more.. Hoping he hasn't popped yet while I left my level 17 friend waiting. I just wanted to add that two of the smugglers are more than 40+.. I'm 42 and two still con red to me, so it's 45+.

Logged on to Fironia Vie after I got off work last night and was pleased to find Dyllin waiting to test my blade, his mistake. I followed the advice of a friendly player who had revealed to me his spawn point and waited for Dyllin to take a walk. After wandering about a bit he headed down to the waters edge. I cast Harmony on the smuggler we passed on the way down to the water and then Harmed Dyllin himself before applying shield of barbs, medding to full and doing the root and nuke routine on Dyllin. The only trouble I had was that my snare spell was interrupted and I had to swim after him a bit, he died in the water but his corpse was waiting for me on the dock in front of two citizens; which was nice since I was low on mana and the citizens took care of some flamepaws and soothsayers who tried to assail me while my 21st season Wood Elf Druid assembled the Testament of Vaneer and medded up in the glow of another well earned victory! I am sooo glad I didn't let someone sell this to me for big plat (saw it auctioned in Kelethin for 250 pp). Quest was fun, easy and worthwhile.

A little tip.....
If you want to make it easy, just kill Greth, Brenon and Daliesha in the bandit camp straight out from the HK entrance on the way to the orc side. They give positive faction hits with the circle of unseen hands which is the faction of the smugglers. I was warmly with them when I did my library book quest, but had a 51 paladin just in case. Hope this helps, and safe travels.

My experience with getting page thirty was kind of funny.
I was bound right there where he spawns. I would gate back from where I was hunting every so often to see if he was both uncamped and popped. I got home from work after midnight, and checked him out. There was just me and a 36th level mage in zone. We started yapping OOC (since no one else would be bothered) and he offered to come help me since one of the smugglers was blood red to me.
[On a side note...this time all the smugglers were in motion; criss-crossing paths and going from the ledge up top down to the water where you swim through...don't know if that had anything to do with the fact that he was about to pop or not]
Anyway...I went down to show this mage where the water tunnel was, and I saw his water pet fighting smuggs. That red smugg was popping his pet: 109...97...etc. I don't know what level he had to be to be landing hits like that, but...DAMN! Needless to say, the pet didn't last long. As soon as I saw it happening, and how hard the smugg was hitting, I OOCed "GATE! FAST!"
Well, he didn't gate by time I got out and saw him by that inn next to the water. The funny (and cool) part was that he'd trained all the smuggs out to that dock area over the water, and they were just pacing back and forth trying to get at him, and because of some bug, they couldn't get to him. (I wouldn't try duplicating this though...I'm sure it was dumb ass luck) So I suggested he camps to clear the aggro list. While he camped, I went in, and lo and behold! There was Dyllin standing there all defenseless with all the smuggs trapped outside on the dock. BAM! BAM! Roasted corrupt guard! Yummy!
PS: I didn't even mess with fighting him up where he spawns. I took the 20 some-odd damage to jump off the cliff up top and fought him down below by the entrance to Highpass Keep. I guess that could have got myself killed in spite of the bug...or him killed by the guards...but it worked.

Congratulations! One thing puzzles me, though. You found this terrific exploit to draw the smugglers away from Dyllin, and then you STILL pull him to the Keep, taking damage in the process? Well, at any rate, you got the page and the book. Well done!

i'm a lv12 twinked wiz, my wife is a lv10 druid can the two of us kill Dyllin?
26 posts
No. The only way you could do that is if all the druid did was harmony all the smugglers in the area over and over again (and there are about 20 of them) and the wizzie soloed him (which I doubt he could do).

I followed one of the posters in this forum and camped in the smuggler area at level 15. Logged back in, asked a level 18 Sk for assistance and we killed him fast. Other than getting to HH, the quest only took me 10 minutes after he spawned.

7 hour spawn time, hence why everyone camps there then logs back on occasionally to check. As far as I know he drops the page every time. Have yet to see someone kill him and not get a page.

After I died twice to the lvl 40 smuggler I tried to run from them after the lvl 40 smuggler went after me again stopping it from killing me again but i only made it to the shore... Quickly I memerized root snare and My DD and Sow I went out and watched every smuggler leave and Dylan was the last to leave, well try to leave when I snared him rooted him and blew him to bits, You will lose less exp that way then stay in the stupid smuggler area for just dieing once and you get the book

This was not as easy for me as it apparently was for some. I had to try three times and almost died the first two. I am a level 20 druid.
Just as I got to HHP last night, someone killed Dyllin. I did not want to stay up all night waiting for him to respawn, so I watched the red smuggler a bit to get down his pattern. He first walks up the ramp to the left and stays there for a few seconds. Then he comes back down close to where Dyllin spawns. Then he goes down the tunnel on the right. He ends up going down by the water for about a minute and then coming back. Just as he turns the corner of the tunnel, you have about 1.5 to 2 minutes to kill Dillyn before the red smuggler returns.
After figuring out his pattern I camped my guy for the night. When I got on the next morning, Dyllin was standing there waiting to die (BTW, this has worked for me twice now - getting what I need early in the morning after camping for the night). I bound myself right there next to him. Then I cast levitate on myself so I could run off cliffs if necessary. I got one of my teleport spells out. Then I was ready. As soon as the red smuggler turned the corner, I harmony'ed the one smuggler that was close by and tried to root Dyllin. He immediately resisted root and ran over and got his friends. They started beating on me. I ran away fast and teleported out of there (barely got teleport off).
I then healed and went back and tried again. This time I got in his way so he couldn't get his friends. He was hitting me and interrupting my spells so I couldn't kill him fast enough. This time the red smuggler got back before I could finish him. I had to run and teleport with just two bubbles of health left.
Third time, root finally held and I was able to nuke him to death using careless lightning (5 times because one didn't do full damage). So I finally got the page and a note to finish the quest.
So just remember to scope everything out and plan an escape route before trying to kill Dyllin or your chances of dying are very good. He likes to resist root a lot.

Dyllin spawns when the servers come up. When the next scheduled patch comes along, bind at his spot, camp there, and then be the first person to log back in... and he's there waiting for ya. Have done it with two different characters now. Works with all sorts of long-spawn mobs.
According to VI, today's patch nerfed this (for all mobs, not just Dyllin) by making the initial mob spawn at a random time after server-up, not all at once. I haven't verified this, though.

We are a group of 4, we have all done it individually now. I was the last to go and the three others all dies doing it.
This is what we learned...
Time the RED smuggler, forget all others. When he goes to the right, he will be gone 2 minutes, wait 10 seconds after he turns the corner. I did 3 DD at 150 each and he died. I grabbed the page, all the while being beat on by green smugglers. Go left up the ramp jump off the cliff and run to the guards. OVER

Luclin Server and yes 6.5 hour spawn

Hail All,
I am very, VERY surprised that Verant hasn't nuked this quest.. YET.
Any decent item for lower to mid levels is a Verant NO-NO.

Does anyone know how big of a faction hit you get from Killing Dyllin? Will it drop you a whole faction level or more?
I am going after the ToV for my cleric soon..

Well Dyllin was sitting there in the smuggling group about 5:30am on Thoulis Paxelis and well.... he wasn't camped... and when I entered in he was spawned. About 20 minutes later I found someone to take me to the pond and harmonized ALL the smugglers.. and did a dot and nuke and BOOM he was dead. Now I have the TOV... yay me!
watch for the red-to-forty smuggler. he wiped the floor with me . i thiought i would kill dyllyn and loot and run ....well i got to look at his loot at least before i was reborn in frontier mountains ..maybe ill be back before he spawns again in seven hours
