In Frontier Mountains:

  • This mob spawns at the cave around -2100, +1700 in the SW part of the zone.
  • Class: Monk
  • Findable (via Ctrl-F): No

If you have positive Scaled Mystics faction:

You say, 'Hail, an iksar slave'

An iksar slave peers up at you. His face is covered with grime and he shows scars from goblin whips. He shakes his head and goes back to his thoughts.

You say, 'Are you Veltar?'

An iksar slave says, 'It has been a long time since I have been asked that. I am Digalis, mystic of Cabilis.'

He plays a part in the Shackle of Steel monk quest.

While camping looking for the Shaman version (the one that drops the skull), I had to switch over to a character that doesn't care about the Cabilis faction hits because there are two spawns in FM.

The right/western spawn had two possibilties:
  • "an iksar slave" that's indifferent to all (even my DE), gives no faction hits, drops nothing, not even coin, and when asked if they're Veltar, responds positively (note: NOT how the text above appears, I think that must be for the shaman version, since the skull you need is Digalis, not Veltar)
  • "a crazed iksar slave" that is KoS to all, on Forsaken faction

The left/eastern spawn had two possibilities:
  • "an enslaved iksar" who is for the SK Greenmist line, is extremely resistant to spells (even resisted a Lure from my 60 wizard more than once), gives a fairly hefty Cabilis merchant/guard faction hit, and drops nothing
  • "an iksar slave" who seems to be on another Cabilis faction (my guess is Shaman, KoS to my DE) and started buffing himself immediately upon spawn, this is the one that dropped the skull


Levelwise they were all somewhere between 23 and 30.

Spawn time was significantly longer than the surrounding goblins, but still not too horrible, maybe 15 minutes or so.

I hailed him with my Bristlebane halfling rogue and got the following:
You say, 'Hail, an Iksar slave'
an Iksar slave hisses and glares angrily at you. It would appear that the Scaled Mystics are not fond of you.

I did not kill him (/hide while merc on passive taking the beating till it sticks) as I actually want to get this and other East Cabilis factions up.

Dropped hide, did a con. The quest version is scowling, the other one (also of lower level) is indifferent.

The Iksar Slave for the Shackle of Steel quest is in the caves at location B on the Eqatlas map. Follow the right wall for a short ways until you dead end into a cave with 3-4 gobbies and two iksar slaves.

Hail the slave to be sure you are speaking with the correct one. When hailing it will say something about his shackle being different than the others. If neither responds this way, kill them as they are place holders for the one you need. When speaking to the correct slave you otherwise do not have to say anything to him. Just turn in your shackle of copper, bronze and the combined coppernickle key.

All gobbies were lt blue to green for me at 50. I fought my way back to the cave, able to take most one at a time. Even 3 at a time was manageable but as usual, be wary of even lt blue casters.

When I got to the back cave I used sneak (just lazy at this point) to move around behind the slaves and hail them. Once I turned in my coppernickle key and other two shackles, I was awarded the shackle of steel and that slave despawned. A new slave spawned in its place and attacked and aggro'd one of the gobs but still easy fight (greens.)

Note the penkeeper is in this same cave with the slaves so bring the Dalnir key and the container from Rinmark with you to get other key half and do turn in while you're there.
