as of today his location is -2393, 1168, 102. he is up the hillside to the west of the PoK book that is closest to Paineel ent. spawn timer is about 5 minutes.
Supposedly this guy is the easiest way to work up your guk faction for the Crown of Deceit quest. I'd just like to say he's on a 13 minute spawn timer, clocked it myself.
Wow. I rember in my first few days of playing I had taken the boat from Qeynos and went to Tox forest... I was exploring and saw somthing interesting. I remember the shape of this guy and then remember the screen going black and me running and trying to swim the river. I was such a newbie and this was so scary to me. When I came across this guy as a "thought for the day" and read his description (the spells he casts), see his shape, and see his location, it remember that time all those years ago when everything was so new.
EDIT: I knever knew what had killed me untill I saw his link on the "thought for the day." Probably never would have known if it was never posted.

3. Sorry your still looking for your last corpse that has your firebeetle eye to light your way Human. Funny how that use to work.
HA! I remember so long ago when I played my Erudite Mage. When I died I’d have an impossible time finding my corpse if it was night. (Didn’t know about /loc then as it was my second char and the first was a DE wizzy that I gave up for dead in Neriak cause I could not find my way out to Nek. Lol)
Anywho, I devised my own brilliant ploy for finding my corpse. I used a little ole Mage spell called Flare. I shot it off into the dark of Tox forest. Then I’d watch it to see if it illuminated my corpse. Then I’d move a bit and fire it again. I’d keep doing this in a pattern until I’d find my corpse. I thought I was a genius. :D
I also used this spell to find mobs to kill in Tox.
This bastard is proably the nastiest level 5 mob in the entire game, HE IS A SERIOUS UNDERCON! Just a warning to all erudian newbies out there watch out for this guy. He likes to hang out on the bridge too, so keep an eye out if you are useing this as a "safe" spot to rest and med.

I've made it a personal goal to kill this bastard every time I'm in Toxxulia. Last night I got some troll parts off him, decided to make them into pickles and eat them. It made me happy for the rest of the day. Talk about job satisfaction!

victory!!!! am lvl 6 mage got lost trying to find him boom i saw him pet atack cast couple of burns and he casts darknes killed him and got head reward low lvl scroll and 1 pp exp and faction 2nd lvl gatecallers give head to guy who does gatecallers gloves. i like this quest ill do it again
I tracked this mofo down with my 30 druid and did a favor for muse and all Low level people everywhere.I smeared his ass with one combust.He dropped a troll head,lore no drop, and troll parts.
It's my first time in Toxxulia and looking for a poacher's head for a quest in Surefall Glade. I'm compleltey lost and running from some magician guy. I come across a bridge and dodge the incoming Druid Camp. As I loc onto my postition, I am attacked from behind by a something called Rungupp. At first I'm stunned cuz I have a friend named Runngup and I thought that was him. I also thought someone was trying to hack into my computer again as my screen flickered from black to seeable. God, I hate this guy. Now I havbe to go on a corpse run without a light. I should start keeeping spare Fire Beetle Eyes in the bank.
Kus hes a menace :) And Muse (the creator of the maps) tells us the reason why in the description of the Toxxulia Forest Zone on his site. Just hop over to the Atlas and choose the Tox zone and read the info there.
Okay, I'm a newcomer to Odus, hailing from the WESTSIDE! of Faydwer =) I ported to the wizzy spires from Luclin and made my way (with a little help from True North) all the way to Erudin's patio without being attacked. I crossed the bridge, but no sign of the troll. The map on EQ Atlas says he's on the far left side on the shore by Kerra Isle but elsewhere it says he's on the bridge. Where did everyone see him? What's his loot? And, if you kill him, wouldn't you lose faction with trolls? Just a thought...

It aggroed on me from Paineel side of bridge. Blindness suckes but I just kept casting/piercing on it. Hopefully you target it or it auto targets when it hits you so you can do this when you are blind. May try typing in /target Rungupp as well. So at level 6, as a wizard, I barely soloed it. Went OOM and it got me to near death. Hope this clears some things up. Anhk 14 WIZ on Vazaelle
My level 5 enchantress killed him with a little help from her pet. :-) He kept casting blind but my animation pounded him and I cast suffocating sphere on him and finally he died and I didn't even loose too many HP.
Jeeze, I would hope so. Anyways, this mob starts from far right side of the bridge on the paineel side, and wanders across the bridge, then sorta makes a swipe down around paineel. I followed him last nite just for this post, so thank me very much ;).
I have killed him at level 6 without a lot of difficulty ! I'm a magician, and, of course, I have send my pet at contact, keeping me away. A lot of burn on his head, and he died, leaving me his head. But the quest is not really interesting (a spell level 4, a little experience for his head), so, I suggest not to fight Rungupp. He's too much dangerous, and not interesting.
Hello there! im 20ish rogue and as i see all u tell i tell myself What! he must be POWERFUL!!!! i try to kill it and... i killed it in less than 1 minute without loosin 1/30 of A bubble of my life...... bah he darkness me 2 times but all the others time i resist (even with my low resistance)
This is a creature that seems to be very easy or very hard depending on your class. Rungupp is NOT easy to kill unless you have a pet or group. He blinds you constantly, and when he runs away while you are blinded he is back again with full health in, maybe, 30 seconds. He seems to have infinite mana too. Is that true for all monster spellcasters? (I haven't been playing the game very long)
The good thing is that Rungupp will not likely kill you single handedly either once you are over lvl 8, because his nukes and punches don't hurt very much. Note that the Erudite Emissiaries or Guards will not help you against Rungupp for some reason. He might CAUSE you to die though, because he sometimes pulls skeletons, and he keeps casting these annoying blinding spells on you. Once you are out of mana, low on health or just generally fed up and start running, well timed blinding spells might cause you to stumble into more wandering skeletons (if low level) or necromancers (if a bit higher). Fighting these blinded and without mana while Rungupp nukes and blinds you from a distance is no fun. I have died twice that way even though he conned green to me several levels back, and my personal mission in life right now is to get even with the green bastard.
I just came here from EQ Atlas and apparently the story is, is that this guy is a nuisance. Apparently, a group of level 11's couldn't take him down. But yet I read these stories of level 4's soloing. What's wrong here? What is the right story? It just seems no matter how hard an NPC is reported to be there is always a story of a guy who solo'ed it. Why is that? Someone's not telling the truth... how many people have died b/c they got the wrong information on this site?
I'm going to have a try at this Rungupp fellow myself and report back with my side of the story.
#Anonymous,
Posted:Jun 19 2001 at 5:20 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) the quest is for the head guy not for the gloves that ones easy.. and he jumps zones if u see him and ur a higher lev..
I'm a lv5 paladin that ran into Rungupp and he took forever to kill my ass. His blindness is crazy. I wish he'd just kill me and get it over with if he's going to incapacitate me. No... he takes about 10 min to do the ugly job and I hate him for it. The bast***. Phyllann
OK. For those of you who haven't looked at a map recently, I'm sorry. Check the EQAtlas map of Toxx.
Rungupp spawns in the most southernwest point in the zone, roughly every 12 minutes. As a druid and aspiring tailor, I find plently of other things to do while working on my faction with Guk, such as tracking down poachers for Qeynos faction and spiderlings for their silk! :)
Where does this sucker spawn? I need the Faction hits on him. I know he is on the other side of the bridge when you come form Erudin. The map shows he spawns near the water on the Pan side. Does he patrol from there to the brige? Any help would be nice. Thanks
should i kill rungupp at lvl9 im a lvl9 magician and im not sure if i should kill him at nine what does he drop?will he kill me if i have a lvl 8-9 pet attacking him if im blind?can he kill a lvl 9 magician?
hehe..well I am a level 6 necro, I schooled Rungupp. I cast Poison bolt to start, he resisted, so I sent the pet in and cast poison strike again, another resist. So I tried disease cloud and clinging darkness both resisted, so I just ran up and started whaling on him. All he seemed to do was try to keep me blind...during this time my pet kicked his ass.
I will be surprised if he can kill you at level 9...
Killed him fairly easily with my (just levelled) lvl6 magician + earth pet (summoned during previous lvl, was blue to me then). Pet had full health at end, I had half - just back off and keep casting your best dd using ALT keys..
Do the Gloves of Gatecallers quest and then you will be asked to bring the head of an ogre (yes it is incorrect since Rungupp is a troll) back. Dont bother looking for an ogre just kill Rungupp and bring his head back.
Give rungupps head to Vansil (sp?). He is on the top floor of the mages (gatecallers) guild in Erudin. You will get faction, xp and some small coin for your troubles.
he's not a shadow knight, he's a shaman, and the HT spell for NPC's come's back when the entire agro list is gone, Both SK's and Shaman's are allied for trolls ogre's, WubWub why do you say he's a SK? darkones is the shaman faction as well, NPC's hp regenerates x4 (x6 if troll/Iks) faster then any npc when not agroed, and those are facts.
He can be a mean SOB... I can take him with my pet at lvl6 and solo at lvl 9.. as for his head... it is a quest item that you take to the Heretics, i forget the girls name you take it to so, unless you are of dark alignment don't even bother with it.
He con'd blue to me @ 6th. I had under half mana when I attacked him, and was accompanied by a level 5 pet. I managed to get him down to about 1/4 health before my pet died, and I was forced to flee. Next time he wont be so lucky.
To stop him from regenerating, cast disease cloud on him. Then DoT him, and help your pet tank. When you start to get low on health, lifespike him, and renew your DoT. If he blinds you, dont panic and run from him blindly into the forest. That is everyone's problem. Blindness is no biggie. Hit F8 to re-target him, and start whacking him again. Cast more Lifespikes(time it to happen after you yelp after an attack). The blindness doesn't last all that long.
From what I've seen, mages and necros have much less problems fighting this guy than do other classes. If it hadn't been for a pair of kobold watchers, I would have soloed him at 5 with a 5 pet.
I've killed him a few times with my Eru Pal, by far the easiest kills are when he's on or by the bridge, because once you get him running away from you he beelines for every nearby skel and aggros them onto you. But if you fight by the bridge, he just runs back and forth on the bridge without leaving it. Use of a shield and bash are highly recommended, good way to break his cocnentration and stop him blinding you. Plus you can just count seconds and hit your hot key to fire it off whenever it should be ready again, or if you hear him starting to cast. And as a pal, using my own flash of light to blind HIM was nice and appropriate ;)
What is the quest and where does it start?? I ran into him and wiped the floor with him. now i have his head and troll parts and dont know what to do with them
Killed him with my lvl 4 chanter and lvl 5 pet, casted on him then basically blinf, pet did the rest). Just need to get my faction up to get the quest for his head which is a pain.
As a troll shaman I made the experience that everytime I did a quest in my shaman guild in grobb my faction with the grobb sks got up too. See them as one guild just divided in two orders with different names.
Runggup has died to both my Erudite characters...a Lev 10 Necro and a Lev 9 Mage. He did try to cast spells but my pet and I seemed to resist his blindness and poison spells. He fell fairly easily to a few shock of blades.
Problem is...I can't get the Mages in my own damn guild to give me the quest!
This quest is given by Vasile Jahnir, in the Erudin Mage Guild, but you won't get it by just hailing him: it's a followup quest to the 'Power of the Gatecallers' quest he gives when you hail him.
Do that one first, then he'll tell you about the quest to kill Rungupp. (Actually, he tells you about an ogre, but it's Rungupp the troll whose head he really wants.)
If it takes 10x the number of frogs someone has killed to get faction back, then if camped the bandit camp in ek and stay there till i killed 10x the number of millers and then camp the skellie camp for cleric/paladin faction...hmm...
