Follow my strategy from the discussion below if you have macroquest2. I can still kill him about 2-3 times per hour using it.
How can you call this "your strat" when you are just cheating to get these spawns? Its not much to brag about getting 2-3 spawns per hour if you have to cheat to do it.

Heh call it what you want but if you've ever sat and tried to actually camp this spawn now that there is nobody in south karana killing the random yard trash that could potentially be quillmane's PH, you'd understand. It's also possible to not use macroquest by using 2 rangers to simulate the level of tracking necessary to do it. The spawn was originally designed under the idea that people would be killing stuff in skarana and keeping the spawns fairly fresh, but that doesn't happen anymore. I tried camping Quillmane without using macroquest back in the day. I must have spent 100+ hours in south karana killing everything that moved and I never even saw him once. He drops the cloak on average 1 out of 10 times so unless you're unemployed and have nothing at all to do, your chances of getting this cloak without tracking the spawn is very very very low. It's entirely a bunch of crap that they'd make this incredibly rare (when not using my strat) spawn part of the simple epic 1.0 for mages. Say what you want but I'm just trying to help people and keep them from pulling their hair out for months over this rediculous spawn. What is something to brag about? To say that I spent 100+ hours of my life trying to get a piece of virtual property and even then I came up short? I intend to make this spawn a known easily farmable item for anyone who wants it out of my own personal spite for this rediculous camp.

Personally Zarovich, I think your strategy sounds great. I can see only two problems with it.
1. Macroquest gets a mage booted.
2. Finding a couple rangers or druids 50+ to take a couple hours out and go to a green zone to
hunt down this stupid horse.
I am trying to build a ranger on 2 box to use this strategy though, I am sure when the day comes your strategy will get me my cloak. Thank you for taking the time to post all your useful information.

Two things wrong with this: First, its not a "strat" or a strategy, but a cheat. No other description for it. Its an exploit.
Second: It will get you banned if caught.
Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.

It is only a cheat (exploit) if you use macroquest. Using a ranger or druid makes Zarovich's strategy just as good as anyone elses.
Who cares if he used macroquest? He told everyone exactly how to kill that stupid beast using a ranger or druid instead. To say that theres no merit in what he says seems stupid in and of itself.

Well all I can say is that I tried. I tried to be helpful after pulling my hair out over this spawn for 2 years in the hopes that others wouldn't have to. The only reason I mention the fact that I kill about 8 quillmanes in 2-3 hours is to make it clear that I am not "fuzzy" on the spawn and how it works, not to brag. I know exactly how he spawns (100% confident) and I shared my info here in the hopes that it would save people countless weeks camping this rediculous spawn. I'll leave everyone alone now and everyone can go back to throwing out stupid info such as "I killed him at this loc" or, "I just zoned in and he was there".... (WOW, REALLY USEFUL INFO THERE!!!). I'll leave it alone for now and the next 100 posts on this spawn can bury my posts at the bottom so that future Quillmane campers can pull their hair out too for the next year. I'd just like to say that I had nothing to gain by posting his exact spawn info, I was just trying to help.
P.S. -> To those guys who actually followed the strategy to the letter (using MQ2 or ranger track).. glad I could help.

I've been here in SK now for about 14 or so hours in the past two days trying Zaro's strat. So far I havn't had any luck in getting a Quillmaine to spawn, or for that matter being able to find the right PH. I ussually start off by rounding up a big train south of Splitpaw and north of the aviaks. Then I AE them and start the timer. Every time I do this I ussually get 1 or more mobs that wind up with a 78 second timer. I continue to kill these mobs and they ussually end up spawning only on the east side, or north of Splitpaw occasionally. Every now and then I'll think I have the right PH and some named barbarian will spawn, once I kill him nothing else spawns after that 78 seconds. When you say that the correct PH only spawns inbetween splitpaw and the aviaks does that mean it has to spawn precisley below splitpaw and above the aviaks? Also, if anybody is having success with this method what is the best surefire way to find the PH (apparently getting a train of +20 mobs below Splitpaw doesnt work well)? Thanks in advance for any further information.

The correct PH should really only take you about an hour or less to find once you get an idea of where to look. Generally I sit at paw, and watch as mobs come up from the SE, S, and SW sides. Since Quillmane's PH is usually a lion or escaped splitpaw gnoll (though it can be others as I've said) I look for a lion or gnoll or something coming up from anywhere south of paw. Then kill that guy and hide the npc's on map and look for 78 second spawn. It will take a few times and you will need to keep trying until you find the ph. That's the only hard part. To answer your question about where he spawns, NO he does not spawn directly between the aviaks and splitpaw. He spawns anywhere south of the middle half of the zone, though I have never seen him spawn south west of aviak village. I have seen him spawn south of the hermit, north of the hermit, east of the hermit, halfway between paw and aviaks, north side of aviak village, west of aviak village, near the shadowmen, west of paw, east of paw, and so on... but never on the north half of the zone and never south west of aviak village though I can't say that's not possible. Just keep trying to find the damn ph, try the single guess-and-check method for awhile killing anything coming to paw from the south. If you kill it and nothing spawns at 78 seconds, find another one and repeat. I've had more luck doing it that way than using the point-blank AoE method. Also, please don't get discourage and don't start listening to the people who say he has a specific spawn loc because he has several spawn locs in excess of 8 or 10 of them and if you just sit on one of them, it could take a long long time. If you do my method correctly you should easily be able to get about 3 or so quillmane's per hour though because of the random number generator it's pretty sporatic (I've killed the correct ph up to 30 times in a row to get a spawn, and then got him 3 times in a row after that). Hope this helps, and let me know how it goes.

To clarify that a little, when I say kill something coming up from the south I mean SE, S or SW of paw. Also the 78 second spawns that you found, I too have followed that one that only spawns on the east... let me guess you only saw him spawn all down near the far south end of the east side of zone right and occasionally a little closer to aviak village? I also hit one that spawned a little north of paw and that one aint it either. I know there's at least 3 78 second spawns but it's possible there's more, though I begin to doubt it more and more as I've not found any but the quillmane one, the far south east one, and the one north of paw.
Doubt no more - one gentleman pointed out that there is a 78-second spawn with only aviaks on it and he is correct. I killed 42 Aviaks in a row on this cycle last night. Nothing else spawned on the cycle besides normal aviaks and the named "Knari Morawk". The cycle is much like Quill's; it is on the south side and can spawn on the east or west side. About 2/3 of the spawns were on the west side for me.
Edit - oh yeah, 7 Quill kills and 2 cloaks...

Interesting, I haven't found that one yet but I believe you. I haven't gone around the zone determining the spawn cycle of every single mob, but the strategy doesn't require it. Either way if the spawn you're referring to only spawns aviaks then it's not hard to figure out that you're not on quillmane's spawn after 5 or more aviaks in a row. Good info to know though thanks.
After about 8 hours of trying various methods to get that stupid bird to spawn, I was ready to call it quits. Granted, it's probably not that much time compared to what some of you have spent there. Although he does have more than one spawn point, I somewhat agree with Minievil. I decided to try out his location.
Sitting at the location he mentioned, -4437, -40, I sat there and killed mobs that came to that location and mobs that were leaving that location. Within 2.5 hours I killed 3 Quillmanes this way. The first 2 only had the stupid leggins, but sure enough, the 3rd Quill had my cloak. Was happy to get it and glad that I'm done with that stupid bird.

The only reason that this is working for you is that -4437, -40 is ONE of quillmane's and his ph's spawn locations. While you're sitting there for 2.5 hours, the ph is spawning in various places, wandering around and eventually being killed (or perhaps it even despawns at some point I don't bother waiting to find out once I found the ph). Then after several ph spawns, it or it's PH are eventually spawning at the loc you have there, and you're finding him. That's fine if you like waiting around that long for him to eventually spawn at this one loc but personally I'd rather chase the ph around the zone and kill it at all of his spawn locs. 3 quillmane's in 2.5 hours is lousy but if it works for you, have at it I guess.

Why do you have to be so disrespectful? This person killed quillmane 3 time in 2.5 hours. I have killed quillmane 1 time in 2.5 weeks. I would do the happy dance for an hour if I killed quillmane 3 times in 2.5 hours.
OK, so the person didn't use your cheating "strat." Is that any reason to be so sarcastic?

You make a good point I didn't mean to be a jack-*** about it. I just worry that if people post info with locs that sounds good, that people will follow it and waste their time rather than learn how the mob really spawns.

Here we go again. Once again, Quillmane does not have a single spawn location, he has several. I've seen him spawn all over the southern half of zone. Also, this loc is useless unless you know where the PH is spawning which is also all over the zone. Please refer to my previous post regarding how to camp him and don't go saying that Quillmane has an "exact location" because he doesn't. If he actually did spawn at that loc more than once then it's just a coincince that you happened to have him spawn in the same location twice, rather than in one of the other 10 or so locations he can spawn in. How many Quillmane's have you killed? 8 or more a night? No? Then don't go posting this crap please, you're just going to cause some poor sap to sit at that spawn loc all week long waiting for him to spawn there.
Only thing I have noticed about that loc is that it's almost center in the southern half of the zone. Using it as a spot to return to with my ranger I was able to use Zarovich's strat and saw 3 Quillmanes within an hour. All 3 had leggings and then the mage I was helping dropped a treant to save my ranger the dilemma but he failed to start a stopwatch so we lost track of the ph. Also despite what the RPG expert strat lists I did have Marik Clubthorn in the cycle. Now if only someone will let my druid mq the cloak in return for them and their raid force killing him another Pegasus in sky for its quest item......

Just some addidtional observations of mine using Zarovich's strat on spawning Quillmane.
1. Finding the PH cycle is the ONLY difficult thing about this (if u use the strat).
2. Both methods of finding the right PH cycle work BUT I personally have found that randomly killing a single possible PH mob (lion, lionesses, centaurs, wolves, escaped splitpaw gnoll, elephants, and rarely aviaks) and waiting to see if the respawn is 78 secs worked best for me.
3. The Quillmane PH spawn cycle pops between paw and aviak village but can be widely distributed in the west-east direction. I know some have said they have seen Quill north of paw and there may be more then one way to get Quill to spawn, BUT using Zarovich's strat, it will be between paw and aviak village.
4. The PH spawns BOTH East and West of the line drawn between paw and Aviak village. If you are getting repops only on the East side, then you dont have the right PH cycle.
5. There are MANY mobs on a 78 sec repop, BUT the one you are looking for is the one that stays between paw and Aviak Village and goes both east and west. This AGAIN, is the ONLY hard part about using this strat.
6. If you are on a PH cycle that ONLY spawns aviaks and no other types of mobs, you are on the wrong cycle. Aviaks CAN rarely be a part of a Quillmane spawn cycle but not exclusively. I usually start with killing random lions, wolves, elephants, centaurs, or escaped gnolls to try an establish the PH cycle.
7. Quillmane spawns 1 in 10 PH's. Cloak drops about 1 in 10 Quillmane kills. This seems about right, although my experience with this is based on VERY limited numbers of kills.
I again would like to thank Zarovich for the strat. I hope some of this info I have provided helps to refine and reinforce the strat.

Ok I'm tired of you people posting the wrong info on Quillmane. Time for the right info. If you don't believe me then explain to me how I spawned 8 Quillmane's in less than 2.5 hours. Here we go. I just got a cloak tonight after 9 total Quillmane spawns in 3 hours and I'd like to tell you all how to do it, though you will either need 2 high level rangers or otherwise use macroquest such as I did.
1) There is just one PH and it is an exactly 78 second spawn.
2) Quillmane cannot and does not spawn in the northern half of the zone, only the southern.
2) Finding the PH is the only hard part... there are two ways to do it. The first is to pull a bunch of mobs in south karana that are near the Splitpaw/Southern half of zone, particularly lions, escaped splitpaw gnolls, shadow wolves, aviaks, and low level centaurs from the southern half of zone, then use a point-blank AoE to kill them and watch for a 78 seconds respawn (more on this in a minute).
3) The second way to find the spawn is to guess, by standing at splitpaw area (near the southern area of spires) and just snag the first lion, centaur, aviak or whatever that comes up from the south as the PH always comes to splitpaw from the south.
4) Most random mobs in South Karana have either a 38 second respawn (faster than quillmane's PH) or a much greater respawn time. Once again Quillmane's spawn is EXACTLY 78 SECONDS.
5)removed as this is illegal

Where can I find the map plug-in for macroquest? Also got a copy of the older one since the new one won't work with Win 98 (I can hear you now saying Upgrade to XP) Couldn't get it to do anything but sit in my tray... So I may yet throw that Win XP home edition I got sitting around here in yet... But in either case... I'll probably still need to find the map plug in... I have had a group working on this with me and we've had some limited success with your methods... and probably because our puller was probably not pulling the whole southern section of the zone. We'll continue our efforts using the new info posted recently and let you know how it goes...

The plugin automatically comes with the standard version of macroquest2 that I downloaded at www.macroquest2.com. All you have to do is turn it on, I believe the command is: '/plugin MQ2Map' (without the quotes). Then you just use the '/mapfilter npc' command to toggle between displaying all npcs or no npcs (you should have them all set to show). Also use ' /maphide "a" ' command as described in my above post which will hide all the npc's (except brother Qwinn if he's up). Re-pops will still show when they spawn as long as your npc filter is set to show... you're just using the /maphide command to hide all the mobs that are already up before anything respawns. Until you find the PH, keep using /maphide npc "a" to clear off the newly respawned mobs that you have determined are NOT the PH. Hope this helps. Once you find the ph you don't really have to do anything other than watch it respawn over and over every 78 seconds and just keep killing it.

This works...it absolutely, positively works!!!
This is my first post after 2 years of lurking on Allakhazam and I found that replying to this strat on killing Quillmane so VERY MUCH worthy of my first post.
I killed 8 Quillmanes in 5 hours but MOST of that time was spent finding the PH cycle because once I found it, it was CAKE! One time I got Quillmane to spawn 3 times out of 4 spawns (then not again for another hour, gotta love random number generators). I have 7 leggings and one cloak, but plan on going back soon. I am one happy cleric!
Try it, it works and IF you following Zarovich's strat, you will be the proud owner of a Pegasus Feather cloak also.

You are quite welcome. Glad we can now place Quillmane under the "easily farmable" category of mobs in EQ.I must have spent 20 hours trying various idiotic strategies that people posted until I went back to the RPGExpert.com guy's info just praying that maybe he had assumed a few things that he shouldn't have that were throwing me off(such as the incorrect 6 spawn points idea). Turns out he did, though he had most of the other info correct. Your refinements to my info are also correct and I'm glad someone posted to reinforce the understanding of Quillmane's spawn.

This is the guy that truly deserves credit for cracking the quillmane spawn though as I said in post, he is wrong about the "6 spawn locations" and also a tad short in his list of possible PH's. He also fails to mention that there is at least one other 78 second respawn in zone that is north of paw and not related to the Quillmane spawn and that a ton of the mobs in SKarana are on a 38 second respawn which is key to knowing what to ignore in the respawns. To the guy who said Quillmane is on a 94 second respawn... sir you are retarded and can't have possibly gotten more than 1 Quillmane per day with that line of BS. I think you also said that all the other mobs are on a greater respawn timer which is also not true... last I checked 78 seconds is longer than 38 seconds. Stop posting if you don't know a thing about it.

Alright, here's the true way to get Quillmane. No jokes.
1: Quillmane is not on a spawn cycle with any *any* other named mob. Killing nameds does not help.
2: Quillmane, or her PH's, respawn timer is 94 seconds. A minute and a half. The rest of the zone is longer. This is the key.
3: Quill's chance to drop cloak is correctly estimated at around 10%.
4: The most important thing: Mass Genocide of SOuthern Karana is a BIG no-no.
Here's the thing. Quillmane cannot spawn from any mob in the zone. 30+ hours of harassing the zone told me this. Quillmane has a single placeholder, but it's a...very jackass PH.
The placeholder can be anything ranging from a Lion to a centaur to an elephant to whateveryourwhim. It also can spawn anywhere in the SOuthern half of the zone. However, this SINGLE "Mob sequence" is a 94 second respawn. The rest of the zone is greater than 2 minutes.
^=== How to spawn Quillmane.
If you're one of those gifted Tracker classes, you round up most of the roaming mobs south of the Spires to Splitpaw, and aoe them. Watch track carefully and moreoftenthannot, the first mob that respawns will be that 94 second-er (If you killed it). Target only this mob, kill it, wait the 94 seconds for the next spawn, kill, and Quill will end up popping.
I'm a Magician, and a CLeric. No track =(. So, I downloaded ShowEQ, and used it to track the zone.
Just find a way to track, narrow the zone spawns down to that ONE solitary Quilly PH, and slaughter it until you get you're cloak. I now have my Mage's cloak, and got a secondary one for my Cleric to play with (Levi, whee). Currently, I'm trying for another for a guild Mage friend of mine. Good luck, guys.

This is untrue. I've tried following multiple guides. From the one killing the Tesch Gnolls, and then all the escaped Splitpaws, to the one saying quil's PH is on a 78 sec timer, and now yours (which is similar to the last one)
None of these have worked. I've found the mob that is on a 78 second timer, and yet when I kill other Lions, Lionesses, Elephants, they can be on a 39 second timer. So..... standard mobs seem to be able to spawn quicker than the supposed Quil PH'er. How is that possible? Could it be different server to server?

So..... standard mobs seem to be able to spawn quicker than the supposed Quil PH'er. How is that possible? Could it be different server to server?

Its about time someone put a bard on the job...I found quillmane, had the zone to myself, and thru the course of gating Quillmane many many times, I located the spawn point..or at least one of her spawn points. It was in the oddest of places, very south in the zone and along the west wall. exact location is negative 5375 by pos 3243. I doubt this information will help spawn her, but it is a good little piece of information to have. if I get her to spawn again I'll report another spawn point, if there even is one.

Ok some people say that only creeps charge people to Multiquest the cloak for a mage epic. I have seen so many pissed off and frustrated mages that can't get a cloak, that I have made it my quest, to figure out, without a doubt, how to get Quillmane to spawn. Ok so I was close, killing escaped gnolls and lions and elephants and mist wolves did it, but not because of how or why I thought. If your on Ayonae Ro and have been looking for a cloak, then you have seen my Ranger Zenwayz, he, once stablized in getting cloaks will be MQing for Mages for a reasonable fee or a reasonable trade. I'm only lvl 43 right now, so I will be using my ALT Skratop a lvl 54 warrior moved over from another server and has lousy gear, but can enter (I'm told) the Plane where the Mage does there epic. I'm hoping someone will explain the MQ process so I can keep my customers happy with perfect Epic handins. So if you see Zenwayz online and desperately need a cloak, shoot me a tell and see how I am doing. Last night 4 more Quillmane's all 4 leg, but things are progressing.

This worked well, but you don't even have to have track .. just wait for them to roam back by ... I sat at loc neg 3265 pos 13, and faced south. Anything that came running toward me, and didn't turn off in front of me ( only 1 mob would do this ), must be a ph.. just wait for them to come to you.

Well read all the strats that have ever been posted and we did get Quillmane to spawn 4 times in about 5 hours, by killing the new spawns near paw, 4 leg (disgusting). The high level mage we are all trying to help seems to think that he shouldn't be the one to look at what loot quillmane has cause it might affect his chances on getting a cloak, but I'm starting to think nothing affects what that flying demon drops. After the 4th one, nothing would get him to spawn, killed everything the same way for hours and the zone seemed to get jammed. (sigh) Thanks for the tip though, it has merit no matter what anyone else says.

Quillmane is very fast , and even a druid or ranger has a hard time chasing him down.
Plan on having SoW or similar spell on , and search everywhere because once he spawns he just keeps on moving. based on what ive heard theres a 5% chance of getting the cloak , ive personally killed him a dozen times and got leggings everytime hehe...good luck

Either you're really unlucky or we're really lucky, because we killed Quillmane three times looking for cloaks for guild mages, and got cloaks for both of them.

Killed her tonight on morden rasp. Followed a few strats. Here's what I have come up with. I went to Paw and sat in the middle. I saw 2 creatures walk past me a lioness heading north. I killed the lioness then watched my track set on normal, not distance. Luckly a guy had just zoned in so I used him as a marker. The spawn time for the zone is 96 seconds so I watched my track and I saw the repop come up at the top of my track list. It was just southeast of paw on the hills between paw and the hermit. Killed the repop it was a lion. Next pop was an Elephant on the west side of paw. Killed it and 96 seconds later there is Quil just south of paw high on the hill. Killed her got the cloak.
-Edit- continued killing only this single spawn and saw Quillmane 11 times in 3.5 hours. Spawn loc were all over the southern half of the zone (very few wandered north of paw). Overall got 4 cloaks and 7 leggings. Quill does not share a spawn with any other named. If you see any named up don't even bother killing them unless you want their drops, and if a named spawns after killing your particular spawn then move to a new one.
After reviewing my log seems the only mobs on this spawn cycle in the 3.5 hours are:
a lioness 9
a lion 17
an elephant 11
Quillmane 11
aviak egret 2
a mist wolf 5
an escaped Splitpaw gnoll 13

Following the directions to kill spawns from tracking from the middle of Paw.. I looked for the specific mobs listed in the first post + centaur archers, killed all those I saw on track looking from Paw and spawned Quillmane within about 25 minutes and he dropped the cloak.
Great advice... saved me alot of time. (Did it with a druid tracker too)

Would it work with my druid's track ?
OK, either Quill is broken on Vazaelle or something aint right. Wife and I spent ALL DAY, 11 hours, tracking down and killing the first mob on my tracking as seen from splitpaw. I did this by binding to paw and then evacing after each kill. Being a lowly druid, my track aint great. ALL DAY and not a single Quill was sighted. Saw Brother Qwinn the whole time though. I started with the first wandering mob I saw at splitpaw, so what pray tell are we doin wrong?
1 post
forgive me, but i've no idea on how to use track according to this guide. I do have track set to normal and not distance, but the window doesn't refresh itself. how can you tell which mob is the new spawn that takes the place of the PH that ran north across hills in the spires? any help is much appreciated!
1 post
I didn't realize this until someone explained it to me, so here goes. Normal track works in such a way that you just hit the button that brings the track window up, and the targets at the top of the list are the most recent spawn within your range (the first target being the most recent) So in order to find the most recent spawn, just keep bringing your track window up and looking for new spawns.
A note on Markers: It helps if there is a target that won't die, such as a named NPC or a player. so that you know anything above that target is new
A note on Markers: It helps if there is a target that won't die, such as a named NPC or a player. so that you know anything above that target is new
This partially works. I killed one of the PHers as above and I think I was holding down 2 of the possible spawnings. Within 40min I killed 3 Quillmanes (all dropped leggings). Quill spawned twice north of the aviac towers and once west of splitpaw. After that 40min I somehow lost the spawns (both of them). I continued using the normal track method above but for some reason I wasn't getting those PHers that were named above anymore (sometimes the XPers in the zone can ***** this system up I expect).
Since that night I must have lost it somehow. Can't get him to spawn anymore.

Truly a great contribution! You have indeed cracked the nut on this puzzle! Kudos! Truly amazing info & strats here.
Did this twice, two nights in a row. Only trick is finding the "true" placeholder, but once you do it is easy as sin to just keep spawning the beast. 3 hours, 5 Quillmanes, 2 cloaks. After last night, I bet dimes to dollars that I can go back any time the zone is empty with a Ranger and respawn Quillmane multiple times in under 2 hours.

I would just like to point this out. your info is very good just it works best with a RANGER because of the tracking ability,,,us druids are a little outta luck here because the spawn pops most of the time just outside are track radius. so dont bash the info ,,,it is reliable

Been trying every suggestion and still not getting the stupid thing to pop. Tried sitting in middle of paw, but druid track kinda sucks. after almost 6 hours only two pops. I sit there, see first mob on list and run halfway around zone to kill it. WHAT am I doin wrong? this is getting to be rediculous here, there HAS to be something I am missing here.

Hey all
After spending 8 hours helping a gnomish magician without success,we spawned Quillmane. After the death quillmane spawned again and I wiped him out. Using this track I killed the next loading npc and then quillmane spawned.
Update: Yesterday about 10 hours after my post I went to EK and started working the spawns. I killed everything on the ph list plus some centaurs. Once I got quillmane to spawn it was easy going. However it seems centaurs are also in the spawn queue, particularly archers. In about 8 hours I had killed quillmane 16 times (19 for the day). Nameds were left alone and did not interrupt the respawn process at all.
In all 9 cloaks dropped and 3 went to epicless magicians. Two went to non mages who were there to kill quillmane but let me continue this tactic by not killing anything and the other three are waiting for a magician that have need. It was a good day for 6 lucky people and not so good for Quill, a very pretty horse with horrible luck.
If anyone needs more help feel free to look me up.

Styelth, i don't know where to start... Okay here it is...i LOVE you! 8) I've been helping mage friends w/ Quillmane for the longest now and it was always a nightmare, spent countless hours there and never before saw him..tried countless strats and nothing ever seemed to work. Your strat worked perfectly! saw Q twice (less then 30mins) and thats all it took to get the cloak my b/f needed. Seeing Q twice in less then 30mins was a shock b/c i've spent days there and never seen him once...so once again thank you soooo much!!!

I have been trying your strategy off and on and my Druid and Ranger, and I just can't seem to get it to work. I suppose my main problem is the fact that there is more than 1 mob that paths through Paw going north. I'll kill the first one I see going through it, then I'll run off with my druid to keep killing the respawns, and leave my ranger parked at Paw. Not long after, a different mob, that didn't spawn from killing the other, will path through paw. How do you figure out which is the PH? I mean, it isn't as if there are only 1-2 mobs that path through paw - TONS do.
I can see this working if you get the initial Quill spawn and keep on that PH - but how do you identify the PH to begin with? How many kills do you stay with a particular mob cycle that went through paw before going to the next one?
Any suggestions?
(Edit: I be sure, I have stayed with a particular PH for quite some time to be sure. Perhaps 2 hours, once. Slightly less on most other occasions.)

I tried sevral diffrent ways to get Quill to spawn. I tried killing everything many times. Not sure if it helps, but seen quill spawn a few times. Also I been trying diffrent cycles.
As for july 2004. I killed all named I could find, and more spawn, in named I included (tree ants, cyclops undead cyclops) With no luck. I just wait a bit, check seq. And after a while quill spawn. Wander north from spires. I kill, only 1 in zone. I keep checking seq and no named spawn. So if it has a PH it is just a lion or whatever.
This is a pain-camp. And I feel sorry for mages. But killing everything is probably your best chance and get a tracking-program.

I've been camping Quillmane for about 2weeks now. Prior to the July 14th patch I killed him 5 times getting his crap leggings everytime. since the patch, I have yet to get him to spawn. Now i know that Brother Qwinn was made alot harder now since the patch, is there any chance they messed with Quillmanes spawn also?

So I was playing my level 21 druid in South Karana, hunting the elephants and aviaks, when a high-level bard and high-level magician asked if anyone had seen Quillmane (for the magician epic quest). I said that I hadn't, but would keep and eye out.
I continued hunting, but made sure to look at all the creatures on the track list. After a while, I went up to the PoK to bank and med. When I came back down, the bard and magician were still there. I put up the track list and saw Quillmane's name listed!
So I shouted out that I'd sighted the pegasus and began following it. The bard and mage were extremely excited by the news; I reported the creature's location as it flew east along the northern edge of the zone. They soon came zooming up, and I watched as the engaged and killed the pegasus.
Well, apparently it didn't drop what they were looking for, as the bard let out an anguished cry that echoed throughout the zone. She and the magician thanked me for my assistance in finding Quillmane, and after hunting a little while I camped out. As far as I know, they're still in SK, keeping a long weary lookout for this rare beast.

Hi, Yeah i got the fabled Quillmane and the cloak cloak is ok, but "IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH MAGICIAN EPIC!!!!!" i spent 2 weeks talking to GM's etc trying to swap for the downgrade original because i have no use for it otherwise in a nut shell they told me oh well if you found it once you will find it again. Bah been trying for over 3 years and i finally get it only to learn it is CRAP!.
Sorry my post isnt to gripe it is to inform any other mages "DO NOT TRY TO TURN IN FOR EPIC"
other than that Good Luck on getting the real cloak.

Ok, I finally figured this out. He triangulates from Paw to the Aviak town to the Hermit. It is definitely the Escaped Split Paw Gnolls, and they are PH for the named. They have exact spawn points. There is one just south of the Hermit. Sorry I don't have more exacts.. but the key to my success was the Escaped Split Paw Gnolls.

Not sure if there have been some changes during the last patch but . . . Quillmane is now titled The Fabled Quillmane. I have taken her out before with a level 29 and 31 Druid with no problems. Last night she spawned and there had been a mage camping her so my friend with her level 30 mage and pet and me with my 32 beastlord and pet decided to try and hold her while we tried to locate the mage. Ha - she hit mages pet for 308 a couple of times and pet bit the dust. Mage casted and got resisted Quillmane hit her a couple of times for 290 - 308 and she took a dirt nap. I sicked my pet on The Fabled Quillmane and my pet took approximatly 3.5 of those 290 plus hits and bit the dust. I smacked Quillmane two times one, for 44 and kicked em for 1 and started running with sow to see if the mage was still there since I was not down to 30% health. Druid tried to heal me and quillmane took off on him - he headed for the stone bridge. I hit paw zone. Lol - I have not had so much fun since yelling Dorn to the zone at level five or under.
The moral to the story is The Fabled Quillmane may be much higher than 31 or 32. Anyway - she was red, red, red, to a twinked level 32.

No, they haven't changed the name. This is just one of the fabled mobs that will be here during the 5yr Anniversary special. The regular Quillmane still pops, although it's few and far between, like always! I'd just love to have that fabled cloak!
Good hunting!

I was in South Karana hunting this beastie for 6 hours. A friend told me that Quillmane does not share the cycle with any other named. While we were hunting, I saw Sir Naud, Undead cyclops, and several others up.
Once Quillmane or a PH spawns, after it dies, he or a PH spawns every 80 seconds. Last night, we got 10 Quillmanes to spawn. He had 3 people who needed cloaks and I needed two. Of the 10 spawns, we got 4 cloaks. He got his 3, i got one of the two I needed. At 4:00am, i needed sleep.
Between Quillmane spawns, I have 16,23,2,38,22,0 placeholders. It got to be a game between the two of us as to while PH would spawn next.
PH's I found were:
Escaped SP Gnoll 26
Sheltie 3
Courser 2
Elephant 13
Lion 21
Shadow wolf 6
Lioness 16
Mist wolf 9
Avocet 2
Rook 2

trent 1
duster 1

Quillmane 10
Hope this helps.

Well my only problem with your post is you didn't post the Loc that you were killing the PH's at. This would be most helpful as there are tons of the mobs you listed. If we went off your post we would do just as well killing every single mob in zone and hope for a pop. If you have more information please post it.
There's got to be a way to spawn Quillmane and I think the original post is on the right track. I'm thinking she's tied to Shaman Ren`Rex somehow.
I've been camping the Spires for a couple of weeks now hoping to get a shot at Quillmane. The Tesch Mas Gnolls are great xp and occasionally drop upto 3 or 4 pp. In between killing the gnolls I run around collecting HQ Cat pelts and killing the odd spawn while tracking for Quillmane. I never even saw her until 2 nights ago. What happened? I tried a new tactic, I normally don't even track green MOBs but that night I did.
Every named mob and escaped SP gnoll was filled with arrows. Suddenly I noticed "Shaman Ren`Rex" on track. I ran over, saw him just standing there not moving and quickly dispatchedhim... no problem.
Brought track up... there, as the most recent spawn was "Shaman Ren`Rex". I thought.. that's odd. So I head over, he's just north of where I found him the first time. Run over, Snare... Arrow... Flaming Arrow... Arrow... Flame Lick... Arrow... Arrow... I run in with both swords flying. He's aready at 20% health. Before he can even run he was down, no problem.
Immediately brought up track... most recent spawn was... "Shaman Ren`Rex". Huh? Again? Now this is really odd. I turn around, there he is, just standing there. I repeat my attack sequence and he's finished.
Pull up track... a chill runs down my back... most recent spawn... Quillmane!!
And she was dark Blue!! I'd been afraid she'd be yellow or red to me at 34.
I immediately hit track and started running after her. I wanted to refresh SOW, but was afraid I'd lose her to someone else. As I'm running towards her, I see her in the distance, she's flying right through the center of the spires into the hills near the entrance to the infected paw.
Now what to I do? If I run in after her, I could get adds. That would spell doom for me, I'm already at 85% health and I'm a little low on mana. But I can't risk losing her. I hit myself with a quick Heal, 90% health... it'll have to do!
I'd never had any trouble with the Gnoll's agro'ing me before, so I targeted her and stormed in after her. As soon as I was in range, I let fly an arrow to bring her to me and a Flame Lick to lower her AC.
As soon as she turned towards me, I got out of the Spires. No adds yet, but no sense tempting fate. I ran back to my normal camp spot just to the NE of the spires and let fly a Snare to slow her down, but she was too close and interupted the spell. Her first hit does 80 damage. Uh Oh! I kick but miss. Suddenly I land a double hit/dual wield... 28 damage, 36 damage, 26 damage, 32 damage! I let fly another snare... it holds! I melee for a few seconds and back out... I throw a Flaming Arrow at her... bam, 80 damage! I move back in and we melee for a couple of minutes. She's having trouble landing anything on me. I'm at 65% health.. she's at 40. I'm feeling pretty good now. I land another DH/DW! I send another Flaming Arrow at her.. direct hit. She's running! Oh yea! With a snare on her, I can just walk behind her and finish her off. She goes down quickly! I kneel beside her and find...
Feathered Leggings! =(
At any rate, unless someone else in the zone triggered her, and there were only 4 or 5 players in the zone at the time, I think Quillmane may somehow be tied to Shaman Ren`Rex. Or it could have just been a fluke. But if it was, that poor
Shaman Ren`Rex is going to pay for it, because his lifespan just became NIL when I'm around!

Now what to I do? If I run in after her, I could get adds. That would spell doom for me, I'm already at 85% health and I'm a little low on mana. But I can't risk losing her. I hit myself with a quick Heal, 90% health... it'll have to do!
I'd never had any trouble with the Gnoll's agro'ing me before, so I targeted her and stormed in after her. As soon as I was in range, I let fly an arrow to bring her to me and a Flame Lick to lower her AC.
As soon as she turned towards me, I got out of the Spires. No adds yet, but no sense tempting fate. I ran back to my normal camp spot just to the NE of the spires and let fly a Snare to slow her down, but she was too close and interupted the spell. Her first hit does 80 damage. Uh Oh! I kick but miss. Suddenly I land a double hit/dual wield... 28 damage, 36 damage, 26 damage, 32 damage! I let fly another snare... it holds! I melee for a few seconds and back out... I throw a Flaming Arrow at her... bam, 80 damage! I move back in and we melee for a couple of minutes. She's having trouble landing anything on me. I'm at 65% health.. she's at 40. I'm feeling pretty good now. I land another DH/DW! I send another Flaming Arrow at her.. direct hit. She's running! Oh yea! With a snare on her, I can just walk behind her and finish her off. She goes down quickly! I kneel beside her and find...
Feathered Leggings! =(
At any rate, unless someone else in the zone triggered her, and there were only 4 or 5 players in the zone at the time, I think Quillmane may somehow be tied to Shaman Ren`Rex. Or it could have just been a fluke. But if it was, that poor
Shaman Ren`Rex is going to pay for it, because his lifespan just became NIL when I'm around!

I think the point here is there may be multiple named cycles - only one of them being Quillmane. If one can identify that specific cycle and kill those PHs then one can have a better shot at Quillmane they just going around and killing everything.
Is this true? /shrug
But if they got 10 Quillmane spawns in 6 hours I'd say that there could well be some merit to this. You don't like the theory? Then don't use it.

Was trying this nearly all morning. It worked, sorta. Everytime I killed the PH, most the time Escaped Splitpaw Gnoll would spawn. Then I killed that then Shaman Ren`Rex spawned, then after that High Shaman Grisok would spawn, then back to PH, then again Shaman Ren`Rex then High Shaman Grisok.. this happened about 10 times in an hour I would only get those 2 named spawning with the occasional Shaman Lenrel or High Shaman Phido. I don't see this leading to Quillmane at all.
Long story short, I've been here 18 hours now at least and tried nearly everything posted here. Nothing.

Those cycles are for a monk quest. High Shaman Phido & High Shaman Grisok drop items for the Qeynos monk orange headband quest.
I was going to take my 35 ranger to split paw to get the normal eye, for the gnoll slayer - thinking its probably cleared out.
I run into a very frustrated bard, he said he had been there 8 hours. I came here. I read this. It made sense to me.
It works. He got it within 20 minutes after I explained it. Basically if you figure there is no specific place holder, you are simply making that slot available. Then even if its random, the rendoms and drops a new mob in the slot.
Another example of this is the Misty Thicket new person armor quests. They can spawn all over, like any spawn.
(just an EXAMPLE from memory...) You get like 2 little spiders, a big spider, 2 little rats a big rat... thing is you kill one, then on normal track sort, the next takes top. Once you get used to it, you learn a lot of zones are like this.
Basically your only cycling one slot. If you just go and kill all your creating chaos. Like a slot machine every slot will be randomed. its much more sane this way.
9+ hours or 20 minutes? It could have been cuinidence but it seemed to help a great deal.

Please elaborate, have spent many hours in SK trying every idea I've ever seen about getting Quill to spawn with no success.

While this may contain some good information I can't quite follow the logic or the grammer. Are you saying you stayed at the spawn point of the mobs listed and killed each spawn awaiting for Quillmane. What are the locations of the spawn points? If you can clear up my confusion I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Ok, I will use smaller words. :-)
As to the question of where Quillmane and the PHs can spawn, Quillmane and the PHs can spawn anywhere in zone. There is no specific spawn point. Almost all the spawns were south of the splitpaw, (cannot remember him ever spawning north of Splitpaw) but to either extreme of the zone. (From Hermit to Rydel)
When you hit track, the mob at the top of the list is the most recent to spawn. Hit track close to 80 seconds after last kill. The most recent spawn should be the next PH. You need someone who can track the entire southern part of the zone.
That clear?

I am 99% sure this theory is complete ********* The 1% is there only because frankly, who the hell knows how Quillmane spawns, not even sure the devs do anymore.
What on earth are you talking about? Chaos? Of COURSE it's chaos, that's the point - it's based on probability. Killing one PH (as you call it) only means that you are limiting yourself to one chance for him to spawn every 80 seconds. Killing everything you see means that you get a chance for him to spawn for everything you have killed.
As for the original post, you don't seem to have your own theory straight. If everything in the zone is his PH, then why not just slaughter everything you can see? You will have a greater probability of him spawning than killing 1 spawn alone...
Furthermore your 80 second timer is flawed. Bored on the camp so I thought I'd try this out, 80 seconds doesn't hold true (I was the only person in zone).
Valgul, however you managed to get lots of them to spawn, it wasn't through this method. Whoever I quoted above, you just don't know how the game works, or have a very shaky understanding of basic maths.

Everything isn't his PH. Firstly, he cannot spawn in any of the spots that are fixed, or which spawn roamers from Paw or Aviaks or Centaur Village. If he could, with several years of groups camping the spire spawns 24/7 for example, thousands of groups would have seen Quill spawn at the spires instead of a gnoll which was due to pop, which they haven't.
Therefore, there's no point slaughtering the fixed spawns at those three locations (or the Shadowmen or Hermit for that matter).
That leaves the roaming animals, the roaming aviaks and centaurs which may or may not originate from the fixed spawns at their respective homes, and the rarer roaming spawns.
Personally, I don't believe killing lions and wolves or aviaks and centaurs helps, but I wouldn't swear to it and it certainly can't hurt if you have time to do it. However, it is, I believe, the escaped splitpaw gnolls, splitpaw gnolls (not Tesch Mas), treants, named gnoll shaman, cyclopses and similar oddities that you need to keep cycling.
I've done this many times with ranger tracking and it's plain to see the rares popping up - Quillmane, Cracktusk, Coloth, the little halfling woman, Marek Clubthorn, Raury Marawk and the rest. The problem really is that there are a ton of rares in SK and they all seem to be on that table, so getting the specific one you want (usually Quill) can take a long time. On the other hand, Quill can often replace himself when he dies and respawn immediately (seen that on track many times) so you can get two bites at the cherry if the cloak doesn't drop.

Alright, so what your saying is that any mob can be a ph, but the ph is always the mob that spawns 80 seconds from the last ph killed?

the named gnoll's ( ie" Tesch's ) pop like 1 or 2 min after u kill them and start running.. i suggest somone try to get some friends and kill every named ( including other named besides Tesch's ) at the exact time to spawn quill... just a thought /shrug

Try the corrupted Seafury Cyclops in OOT, 7 days of 14 hours of quadding and not one spawn!
But doesnt even compare to this mob. 3 weeks of pretty much zone wiping and nothing!
