Dyllin Starsine  

Quest NPC
Screenshot

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.

Ehehe I'm camping Dyllin right now, when I arrived Dyllin was not there but luckily was not camped. Waited about an hour so far, hoping he pops soon. Cant wait for my testament.
spawn time

his spawn time is 7 hours i was on for 7 hours fighting orcs right after someone got done with him and someone took the camp 5 hours later and fought him in 2 hours. if that was confusing what i meant is spawn time is 7 hours i am for sure on that

On the photo above it shows Dyllin standing in front of the brew barrel. He doesn't spawn here though, he spawns under the little wooden roof thing next to the kiln and the oven. After the 40+ smuggler goes down towards the lake, root, dot, and blast him. My lvl 24 druid did this with ease, just stand back far enough so the smugglers dont aggro but enough so Dyllin wont hit you.
- Also, I dont know if this is the same for all everyone, but the best time I found to camp him was between 4-6 O'Clock Eastern time. I went to camp him at 3:30 and only waited half an hour! He spawned at 5:30 the previous day, again another short wait. Good luck!

A word of advice. It is generally a bad idea to kill Dyllan before talking to Modoroo in Qeynos. When you kill Dyllan you take a corrupt qeynos guard hit. If your faction isn't good enough to begin with, you may become KOS to the guards. And there's one camped out near modoroo.

A guild member of mine moved his 35 druid to our server, but without all his loot. So he decided to do Dyllan again. Unfortunately, he *did* come over with his faction, and killing Dyllan again pushed him into KOS with Corrupt Qeynos Guards. He says he just used wolf form to talk to Modoroo, but if you don't ahve access to an illusion or a faction buff, you're pretty screwed.

Sorry messed up the first post. I camped him for about two hours last night then logged. Started again this moring and waited about four hours. When he showed up I root/disempower then 3 spirit strikes and then melee. After all that he decided to lay down for a nap, (he said he was tired). He conned yellow to me. Just goes to show that you do not have to be in your 20's to take him.

I am not a caster, so I really don't have much of a use for this item. But could I camp this guy alone and give the loot to someone who needs it. He is very easy, and the 40+ monk can be easily rid of with a simple Harmony spell from a druid. I am a 25 Bard, and get bored waiting for room in the Goblin Groups in the Keep. So I plan to do this and help some druid out. My question is basicly, Is the item NO DROP, or is it just LORE?

It's No Drop, but don't help out a druid =p Let a cleric/shaman loot the page.

untwinked, I would personly wait till lvl 24 that way you can kill him before the smuggler walks back around...
still here
# Oct 20 2001 at 1:47 PM Rating: Default
Well im here camping him, even though i was told that he was kill at 5:65am EST, its now 2:50 EST and still waiting for him to spawn. I have learned of the 40+ smuggler that walks around. He is down at the water for 2min and 15 sec then he will aggro on to you. So if they are right about the 6hour 45 min spawn he sould be popin any time soon. Hope he dose :)!!!! Ill get back with what happend.

Its me again, still havent killed him yet but i found out somthing that might help every one out that still needs to kill him. With the 40+ smugg that walks around, all you have to do it get someone to snare him and run to the exit from witch the lake comes from.(where the land rises a little bit) then he will be just walking back and forth and you can root and blast from where your friend is standing.i dont know well this works but im ganna try it when he spawns so ill get back.

Well on my server Xegony around 8 or 9 pm EST I saw Dyllin standing there. Waited for the smuggler to walk away and proceeded to reduce him to rubble. Got my page, gated to the bank, and got my new testament. It was so easy.

I was just about to camp Dyllin when i ran into his camp and found him standing there, my lvl 24 Druid easily killed him with 4-5 nukes. Got my tomb and helped my friend get his (cause i knew when he would spawn next).
Spawning time
# Oct 12 2001 at 2:58 PM Rating: Default
I was sent a tell by the person camping him before my cleric did. I was near spot so I went then and camped Dyllin with a good friend of mine. We waited exactly 7 hours for that spawn.
My cleric was lvl 23 at the time and had no problems whatsoever killing Dyllin. Conned green to me
A lot easier than I thought
# Oct 12 2001 at 5:34 AM Rating: Default
Dylin likes to take walks down to the water you swam through to reach the smuggler's area. When he was down there I hit him with a root and nuke. He broke root so I trained him through the water to the other side and simply root and nuked again until he was dead. I didn't have to worry about the other smugglers that way.
RE: A lot easier than I thought

hmmmmmmm that means I've got around 5hours and 15min to wait :)
Can a lvl 20 take him?

Can a level 20 Druid take him, or should I wait a few levels? Thanks

I'm camping Dylin on Bristlebane right now. I arrived to find him camped but he spawned within minutes, so the camp was turned over to me. He was killed at exactly 8:45PM so I'm guessing he should respaw between 2:45 and 3:15 -- somwhere between 6 and 6.5 hour spawn time. I'll report back the exact length of time.

Here's what I found out so far:
Red Smuggler is on a route where he goes up the hill from the tent. He'll be gone for about 1 minute and 10 seconds before he returns and then hangs out for about 15 seconds. He then disappears to the lake for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

I'll report back when he's dead with the exact spawn time.
whew

No Page possible?
# Aug 28 2001 at 1:19 AM Rating: Decent
I was running thru the zone tonight and decided to pop in to see if he was still as camped as usual. There he was, standing there untouched, at 2:00 AM EST. Well I gave him the death he was so obviously begging for, but I must ask...on him was a Note to Kanthus (I think that's the name) and the Bayle List III, but no page 30 of any book...is this possible or does he drop the page every time? Is the note what I am supposed to give away to Moodoro???

** UPDATE **

I may have forgotten to mention a few things....

A) This was on the Quellious server.
B) I wasn't camping Dyllin at all. I just swam in at 2 AM EST and he was there, untouched!
C) He did not, in fact, have pg. 30 on him when I killed him at 2 AM. Camped out right there where he spawns
D) Woke up at 8 AM (yes, I am an addict) and immediately logged on again. Spawn spot was not camped...again! At precisely 8:45 AM ( 6hrs, 45min after I killed him at 2 AM) he spawned again. Went down after a Root, 2 Wraths and a Smite, and got my Testament now.

Hope this helps folks figure out his spawn times. :-)

E) Turns out the Note to Kanthuk is to be given to a dwarf north of the docks in Kaladim, Kanthuk Ogrebane. Give it to him and he will tell you of his battles with Amstaf (you also get some xp from what I saw...) and this is part of a quest. Ghoulbane or something perhaps?

Hmm, this is new. As far as I knew, Dyllin ALWAYS dropped the page for the Testament of Vanear. Members of my guild have done this quest dozens of times, and have received the page every time. But then, nothing ever remains the same in Norrath, so perhaps they changed something in the last patch. If they added yet another quest to dyllin's drops, finding him uncamped as you did will become even harder.

Also, oddly enough, the note is supposed to be given by Ryshon Hunsti in W Karana. It's no Drop, so someone did not put it there. Perhaps it was just a fluke. All I know, is if I wanted the Note for the ghoulbane quest, I'd rather hail the guy in Karana, than camp Dyllin.

I have been popping on and off of Eq for about a week now, checking for Dyllin spawn, and he popped this afternoon and was killed by another player at approxomately 4:45. Well, I jumped on tonight with my 14 rogue friend, and he spawned at around 11:00. So spawn time was around 6 hours, 15 minutes. Aside from dying, I finally got the page and my ToV.

Does spawn when servers come back up
# Aug 22 2001 at 8:21 PM Rating: Decent
camped Dyllin Starsine for 4 hours last night until server where taking down for patch. Logged in as soon as server came back up and he was under the tent waiting for me. I was only person in the zone (about 50 people on Prexus when I logged in). Walk right up to him, root and 2 nukes, he was dead.
Had 2 smugglers walk right pass me after that and they did not attack.
BTW, Do Not attack the smugglers walking around.

Since i couldn't give the book or first page away and didn't have the heart to delete them after the time I'd already put into it, I decided to camp Dyllin today. I swore it would be my last time. I logged in this morning, expecting him to pop within the hour. Almost seven hours later, I was still waiting...had had many ppl come looking to camp and gotten lucky in a high lvl who had switched servers and was waiting for a turn after me. She helped protect me from KSers and gave me some buffs and company. Thank u, Tabidru! And also thanks a lot Olot :)
After a booooring bunch of hours and annoying wait, I am the owner of a ToV. This baby better be worth it....course, after the adrenaline high of finally kicking Dyllin's shiny little butt, I think it was worth it no matter what! He killed me twice before and I was aching to whoop him good.
He went down cryin' for his mama...victory never felt so sweet :)
Had to log after that marathon, but I'm anxious to see how the ToV works out. Not sure if I'll go back to get one for my druid or not. We shall see :)
Lots of luck to the rest of you who don't have it and want it. May your wait be less than mine.

Ok here's the skinny...
The 40th level smuggler friend Dylin has is no prob as long as you time it properly. As you stand there looking at the camp the smuggler will patroll to the left and right of you. When he goes up the hill to the left he is gone for approx. one min. After he hang out a while he proceeds to the right down to the water. Now here's your chance cause he will be gone for a whoping 7 mins 15 seconds (or there abouts). So as soon as he gets outta sight root and dot and nuke or friendd Dylin and wam bam you have a Testament of Venear.

Hope this helps:)
