Maldyn the Unkempt  

The Spawn Timer for Maldyn the unkempt is 6 minutes exactly, he shares the timer with "a drake" "Brother Zephyl" and Hasten. Just sit right infront of where the froglok remains are located, the mobs path right near there everytime.

Also Drops Human Blood

This guy is a real rare spawn. I have been hunting HG's quite some time in Rathe and he has showed up only once on track.

I saw him fight a HG the way a druid certainly shouldn't be fighting a HG (is he a druid btw?) and he died with the HG at 80% health.

His last words: "Now i shall never reclaim the other bow part from... Gukk ... Slay ... thhhh..."

Anyways, when you want this guy, make sure you're there when he spawns and that he doesn't start attacking HG's, cause he won't live long then.

I have been camping Brother Zephyl, as a monk looking at my epic. This camp has been rather annoying after spending 6 hours on the camp(only 4 killing stuff we had a run in with Rhurzar or whatever...) In 4 hours these were the spawns...

a drake: 12
Hasten Bootstrutter: 5
Maldyn the unkempt: 3
Brother Zephyl:0

Just so you know, it seems that Bro Z. is still the rarest in the cycle, as has been posted on monk sites since we knew the cycle...

Also it has taken just about exactly 12 mins every time from the time of kill till the next one strolled past the Feerott zone line in RM heading east toward the zone line thru the chasm infront of it, then all of them turn south(right) at the zone line and full fill their routs.

Maldyn the Unkempt is by far the rarest spawn on the "a drake | Hasten Bootstrutter | Brother Zephyl | Maldyn the Unkempt" cycle. The order appears to be as above, with the drake being the generic PH. Typically, Hasten pops after 3-5 drakes.

I have yet to see this guy, and I have been looking for a total of probably 4 r/l hours of PH kiling. The timer on the PH is about 8 minutes. Once Hasten/Brother Z pop, you're pretty much out of luck for the evening, which is what makes this camp so frustrating. Hasten is lvl40 (everytime) so I suppose he could be killed by a standard HG group fairly easily. I have no idea what the faction implications of this would be.

By the way, I tried killing Albain Tinderbrand, the little druid up at the Unkempt ring, to get Hasten to despawn. This was mentioned in another post under the Ivy Gauntlets quest. Don't bother - you get faction hits (-unkempt druids, -qrg protected animals, +jaggedpine treefolk) but Hasten does not despawn.

Finally got the bastard last night... and wasn't a pretty sight. I would not go to RM just to hunt Maldyn, he was very hard to find. Some research and my experience point to the idea that he is on the same spawn cycle as Hasten Bootstrutter (for the jboots quest), Brother Zephyl (a lvl 60+ who can take hours and hours to despawn), and 'a drake.' After 10 nights in RM I had never seen Maldyn once, although the one night I was away he spawned twice and my EQ wife Merinu was able to get the bow part.

Anyway, zoned into RM on camo to meet with typical hunting party friends and spotted him on track! Having read that he was KOS to cyclops and giants I zoomed straight for him and attacked... should have memmed cancel magic, he had a dmg shield up. He hit around 60s and cast a few ranger spells, we were both down to half life by the time my friends tracked us down. All of a sudden I notice I'm down to 1 bub of health... a hill giant had popped on top of us and decided to beat the crap out of me instead of Maldyn! Welcome back to GFay (bind spot for Unrest raid), and dong, welcome back lvl 33.

Merinu and friends managed to kill Maldyn (who had the bow part, is not a 100% drop supposedly) and kite the giant to the zone. Despite the friendly help of guildie Tyime to port me from BB to Feerott, his corpse rotted before I could get there... /cry

But then the sun came out for me! Just as I finished looting my corpse, Maldyn popped a 2nd time (unbelievable!) so I took off in pursuit, this time with no spells memmed except snare and camo! With no giant to help him out this time we kicked his arse, he lamented something about the other missing part of the bow in Guk, and dropped part A for me!

And to make all things better, I amazingly only lost 2 or 3 blue bubs and gained lvl 34 back after a handful of kills. I couldn't have scripted it any better... /cheer

For those searching for Maldyn, the first time I found him standing on the N slope of the HG hill at approx loc of +800, +1500 (did not take actual /loc but am referencing EQAtlas map). Second time I found him standing on S slope of same hill at approx loc 0, +1500... he blinked and took off running at SoW speed just as I got close... had to pull him with an arrow when I finally got in range. Conned blue at 34 the first time, white at 33 the 2nd... I would guess he always pops as a lvl 33 but not sure of that. Did not respond to hails, and didn't wait to see if I could ask him about the Bow of Kithicor, was afraid he'd run off on me -- he did con amiable oddly enough so I would be curious if responds to queries about the bow.

Good luck all,

He was right near the big rock mountain where the HGs spawn, both times. I had been camping him for weeks when doing the gauntlet quest and never saw him, and finally a monk told me his ranger alt had the piece and wasn't using it so he MQ'd it with me. Last night I was killing HGs with a couple members of my guild and he spawned. We killed him, I looted, and then he spawned again about 20 minutes later, and another member of my guild looted.

Weird though, when I was doing the quest there was no sign of him. Now that I already have them, he spawns twice.

Anyway, his PHs are Hasten, a drake, and Brother Zephyl, and Maldyn spawns right near the HG area and will stand there for a while before taking off. He'll also con amiably to rangers, and won't give you a faction hit when you kill him. He's pretty easy to kill if you can find him, and doesn't cast a whole lot.

The last time I've heard he was up was about a week ago (on fennin ro) and someone was killing him, and was going to let me loot the bow. Unfortunately Maldyn didn't drop the bow, so it's back to waiting again. Apparently it's not a 100% drop.

I had the fortunate luck to catch Maldyn on tracking, and race over to see him fighting a clops. my friend managed to pull away the clops while i had my way with Maldyn and got the bow parts A. So even if you are lucky enough to get them. good luck going to Lower Guk to get parts B.
the item sucks anyway. might as well get the Dm guantlets and called it a day. i don't think i'll ever get to get part B, i'm 43 now and it's not even worth the effort

The Quest begins in Kithicor Forest, you need Part A from Maldyn and part B from Slaythe the Slayer in Lower Guk. Hand in both parts and you get the Gauntlets ( ac 11 sv fire and cold 7 )

hes not a druid hes a ranger and he casts ranger spells

This guy hangs out near the HG area and drops Bow Part A for the Ranger Gauntlet quest. He is very rare and you can sometimes find him doing the spin on the rock that leads to the HG area. The lvl you have seems to be close but may be a bit too low.
