Brother Zephyl in Rathe Mountains wants the Idol of Zan Fi, which is in the possession of Brother Raster, who spawns in the Mino Elders room in Lower Guk. Returning this Idol, plus a red sash, results in a special tailoring pattern.

Brother Zephyl is one of those NPCs who has been tuned such that you are not really supposed to kill him.

PH's: a drake, Maldyn the Unkempt, Hasten Bootstrutter

  • Placeholder is: a drake
  • Respawn Timer: 6 minutes
  • Summons: Yes

Faction hit?

Is there a bad faction hit from killing Zephyl?

We killed him last night and there was no faction hit. Dropped the robe.
VERY IMPORTANT

He may have been tuned DO NOT KILL, but many will kill him. If someone is looking for the J-Boots they need to kill him because Hasten (Guy who you get the J-Boots from) will not spawn unless Brother Zephyl is dead. He can despawn but it happens randomly and can take many hours.

Not sure anymore. He DID drop it as of last night when my guild took him down. But I heard a rumor that it was to change in today's patch (which is why we rushed to kill him last night). Also another note. He's not level 60 (at least the spawn we got wasn't). He conned red to our level 58 mage. So he was 61 or higher. I'm betting he was 61. He could very well have been 62 or 63 though (I doubt he'd be any higher than that... but you never know).

Brother Z does still drop the robe. My guild, along with another ally guilds, killed him just last night.

Killed on Mith

I've seen Shadow Tribe whack this sucker a few times...who knows how many other big guilds on mith have nailed him....saw a monk get his robe so it still drops.....
My problem
# Dec 27 2000 at 5:40 AM Rating: Default
is that Hasten and or the A Drake were up all day.

Nary a single Zephyl siting.

Rumour was that Zephyl had his spawn cycle changed.

Verant wouldn't stealth change anything would they??

Naaaahhh
Has been killed...

My RL friend said that his guild got together and did kill him and he said he also dropped the RotLC
RE: Has been killed...
# Jan 03 2001 at 3:08 PM Rating: Default
Yes he has been killed, I've assisted in killing him. He hits for around quad 350 and does drop the RotLC, needed one to replace a monks RotWF who was getting CFs soon.

57 Shaman, Weilder of the Spear of Fate
42 Monk.. not an iksar :)
#Anonymous, Posted: Oct 20 2000 at 2:09 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ugh i finally got my RoA and come to RM to try and get jboots. When i got there it turned out this guy had been up for a couple of hours. Truly, this guy ruined my day. He is very fast like i have "heard" hasten is, and for some weird reason ever now and then it seemed as through he paced back and forth before continuing on. I think this guy should be removed cuz hes nothing more than an annoyance. I don't know a single person who has done his quest. *then again im on vallon so no monks in guk hehe *

Bro- He's one of the most important NPC's in the game for monks. As I type I've been looking for him for 6 hours. Seeing him would MAKE my day.
RE: RE: this guy sucks
# Mar 08 2001 at 4:21 AM Rating: Default
hehe* /agree this guy is not only a part of the Robe of Lost circle (SWEET and about to finish if this guy would spawn...) the Robe us needed for a even better robe with effect lvl 7 bard song (25% hast, 10ac, 35str if i remember right), since its a bard song the hast stacks with haste items as well as enc / shm haste spells. And this Robe is used into the monk epic so i would not say he is usless ;)
RE: RE: this guy sucks
# May 11 2001 at 4:52 PM Rating: Default
Ench haste and Bard haste don't stack.

You'll gain the other benefits of the Bard Song but won't gain more haste.
RE: RE: this guy sucks
# Jun 06 2001 at 4:29 AM Rating: Default
Sorry but you're wrong, you can stack 1 item haste, 1 spell haste, and 1 song haste. However 2 item hastes won't stack... eg if you have a FBSS(21%) and a Hangman's noose (16%), you'll only get the highest of the two. The upgrade to RotLC (Robe of the Whistling Fists) has effect of Jonathon's Whistling Warsong, the bard song, which will stack with both an item haste (FBSS/Hangman's/CoF), and a haste spell from casters. Our epic (Celestial Fists) is an upgrade to RotWF and has the same song effect, plus better stats than the RotWF.

If you want more details check out www.monkly-business.com, they have all the info.
YES ph

he is ABSOLUTELY a ph for hasten. he is a 4 hour spawn then despawn. also the regular drake is the PH. kill the drake, wait 4 hours for zeph to despawn. hasten'll pop up sometime. took a few hours but i got my jboots.
RE: YES ph

Where does the drake spawn? Is it in the valley near Ferrott zone?
RE: YES ph
# Dec 14 2000 at 12:46 AM Rating: Decent
The drake spawns in the valley, it could possibly run the same route as hasten but when I saw him I wasn't willing to follow him around, so I killed him instead.
Beating the Brother
# Jul 27 2000 at 1:49 AM Rating: Decent
From what I've heard, if you get a huge number of people (more then dragon numbers) and just send in a bunch of melee, then heal the hell out of them, he's killable. Hella tough, though. MR is too high to get any spells to stick, and he doesn't drop the robe like he used to, so not much point. Unless you're looking for a challenge after killing the POD :).
RE: Beating the Brother
# Dec 10 2000 at 8:47 PM Rating: Decent
Well if you get enough people and heal the hell out of them you can kill anything.

not true.. they key quest guy in PoA is very un kill able, he hits realllly hard, like mulit 1000's i cant rememer exact ammount but ive seen him drop a raid in about 2 seconds flat
RE: Beating the Brother
# Oct 13 2001 at 12:21 PM Rating: Default
Actually, way back when bard charm didn't have a maximum level cap, some bard charmed the key quest guy (Sirran the Lunatic) and used him to kill ALL of the quest djinni down below the first island. It made him KOS to BetaNeutral and ALL of the NPC's in Plane of Air, he had to have a GM reset his factions.

For a TRULY unkillable mob, try Kerafyrm.
Brother Zephyl vs Priest of Discord
# Jul 12 2000 at 6:33 PM Rating: Decent
Brother Zephyl would definately win. Priest of Discord hits for 356 4 times at the most, Brother Zephyl's a Monk with Haste, can hit for 350 like 10 times, and flying kick for 700.
PH or Hasten
# Jul 02 2000 at 10:04 PM Rating: Decent
Ive tried every sites beastiary and quest page. He is a PH of Hasten bootstrutter. GMs say he will despawn on his own. I am wondering HOW LONG IS HIS DESPAWN TIME?!? I sat there all day with him targeted... and he never left.
RE: PH or Hasten
# Sep 25 2000 at 1:08 PM Rating: Default
When I went to get my JBoots, I found that 'a drake' was up. I killed it and then about 15 min later the Brother popped up. I was told that I should just quit and do it another day, but I really wanted the boots. I targetted Zephyl and sat down and watched a movie. Lets just say, the movie ended and Brother was still up. He stayed for over three hours then depopped and up came another drake. After blasting the drake again, up came Hasten.
Whisteling Fists
# Jun 29 2000 at 9:49 AM Rating: Decent
there is also a Iksar Whisteling Fists Quest. It is unfinished at present, as far as we know anyway. For part of the Quest your are giving a lore item Flute, no one has got futher yet. I am wondering if this has anything to do to produce a different item for monks, perhaps gloves or something
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 28 2000 at 10:03 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Brother Zephyl or the POD who would win in a fight?
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 28 2000 at 10:01 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) He kills faster than a wizzy targeting a bat with Ice Comet.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 17 2000 at 2:05 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Some say he is PG for Hasten. Makes me wonder.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 09 2000 at 2:08 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Can you say "Kill you *so* fast."?
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 14 2000 at 5:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You ask what does he drop, go kill him and find out LOL. You will die in one combat round :) He's like a God or something hehe.
#Anonymous, Posted: Mar 21 2000 at 1:17 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Brother Zephyl is the placeholder for Hasten Bootstrutter. That's right, if you want Jboots you gotta kill the brother. Good luck. He is BAD ASSED.
#Anonymous, Posted: Mar 09 2000 at 4:53 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) is he harder then the dragons or something what does he drop?
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 29 2000 at 9:24 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) He is not a monk. He is a Hella Monk.
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 25 2000 at 11:16 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Is he a monk or what?
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 25 2000 at 1:10 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) that would be 10 sec's bro
No Subject

Dont mess with him, he can quad hit for over 300,kill full groups of 50s in under 20seconds, and can run faster then sow or MM drum.
