spend 4 days on him total of 10+hours killed everything around mud hill, doesn't seem to pop.
tried to follow the loc given by poster below and kill everything, doesn't seem to pop.
killed bunch of ancient jarseth and outlander and halfling, doesn't seems to pop.
so end up just park my ranger at mud hil and have tracksort on reverse alpha, log in once every couple hours to check if he's up, if the's not then i just kill everything in sight and log to another char or do something else , eventually he was up and killed him. got the gem.
As I was wandering around "Mud Hill" slaughtering all the hapless mobs, I noticed a "pilgrim" trying to kill a Drovalrg. I thought to myself that this was kind of odd for him to this far north. So I assisted him with his Drovarlg and then killed him as well. About 7 minutes later another one spawned, and was trying to kill the Drovalrgs at the 3 spawn camp south of "Mud Hill." Again I killed him. And lo and behold, who should spawn shortly later? Red Eye fookin Jack!
Kill every Drovalrg around that camp and look for the pilgrim, was a dorf both times for me but I do not know if he can spawn as another type. And Red Eye should be yours
I found him wandering around the Northeastern zone line near Swamp of No Hope. He dropped the jewel, but he also dropped a Fine Steel Rapier, the type that is Lore and NO TRADE.
Killed mud hill mobs for 5 hours with no results (and about 5 Kwinns and 1 AJ). Went to kill pilgrims and drixies for a change. Killed about 15 of them (and 1 'a pirate'), then went back to mud hill to see if Red Eye Jack spawned. It may have just been dumb luck, but he was there. I think his PH was probably the 'a pirate' that I found somewhere in the southern part of the zone, if not the pilgrims. I have a hard time believing it's the mobs (frogloks, drolvargs, leeches) around the mud hill that spawn him. Hope this info helps.

Just killed him in ten minutes..................killed giant camp......and first Drolvarg camp and saw him walking at top of mud hill...............dropped him on the spot...............Exact Loc was 1914.....-1584.
Camped him for 12 hours using a 67 Nec and a 70 Ranger... never saw him. I killed Kwinn about 20 times, AJ 3 times and halfling swash 6 or so times. I hate Red Eye Jack. Nice name cause my eays are red and hurting from this fantastic camp.
As per my post below, I followed his entire path. I started at 1, I didn't see where exactly he popped. After stop 10, he walked back to 9 then 2, and started over.

Camped the top of hill location by Drolvarg camp. Kwinn is definitely the place holder. Killed him 3 times, after third kill Red Eye spawned 20 seconds later. 4 hour camp
I would agree. Red Eye Jack spawned about 20 seconds after I killed Kwinn the Outlander. He was standing at 2100, -2000 when I ended his short, miserable life. He dropped the rapier and the Jewel of Ganak.
Kwinn pops in 3 or 4 different spots around the hill, and RedEye Jack can be up at the same time as Kwinn. Most likely from the same spots.(lookin at them both at the moment) Looks like they follow the same pathing, a big triangle between the spawn spots on the N, NW, and SW sides of the hill, and up to the giant camp.
edit: Actually, I think Im goin to mark their pathing and post the coords here to add to the map. Edit: Kwinn isn't following the same path. Redeye has walked "near" a couple of Kwinn's spawn spots. Kwinn is still off minding his own business. Kwinn pops every 15 or 20 mins. Redeye still walking around. Redeye despawned after 2 hours.
i went to the spot that everyone said and kill drovlargs and frogs for about 5 hours and no spawn of any sort...what should i be killing and does he have a place holder
Today, I saw the Ancient Jarsath twice and no sign of red eye jack. So I don't see the connection. AJ spawned in two different places. First time was by the Drovlarg Temple the other was close to the Drolvarg camp by SoNH. I didn't kill anything to spawn the second AJ. Unless the zone has a 45 minute respawn time. So, unless someone can prove otherwise, back to figuring out how this spawn works.
The rapier identifies as a Gunthak Pirate Rapier ... beyond that I don't have any further information ... it appears to just be a FS Rapier in all other respects than it's No Drop and Lore....

Found Red near the south giant camp. He didn't seem to like my druid so I took him down. He was easier than the other yellows I was working on. Too bad he only drops the no drop items I can't use. Now I know to look for necros in the area if I see him again.

2 Days this week i run into Red, while looking for the Ancient Jarsenth to work on my medallion quest. No AJ on track but red is.. hmm... So i killed red and low and behold AJ spawn. Thought nothing the first time but then it happened again so i would like if anyone can confirm that killing red spawns AJ
I just now killed Red Eye Jack, for the 7th rank Iksar Necromancer skullcap quest. As soon as he died, the Ancient Jarsath spawned at the location of Red Eye's death.
I found Red Eye Jack standing near the "muddy hill" in the northern portion of the zone. I cannot recall the exact loc, but other posts here detail it well.

This is the same experience I had today. I was also looking for the ancient Jarsath, and had been looking for him for 2 hours the previous night, and maybe an hour today. I was wandering a bit north of the Drolvarg temple area when I see Red Eye Jack. I figured I'd kill him since I heard he was a quest npc (at the time didn't know which quest), and maybe 1 minute later, I see the ancient Jarsath up. Not sure if this was a coincidence or not, but seems they are linked.
Saw Red-Eye Jack on track yesterday, was KOS to him. He was light blue to a 43 Bard, and a pirate, so I kited him, and when he died, he dropped the nodrop FS sword, and the Jewel of Ganek. Did not know what the jewel was for till I came here to check it out .
this gem is fot the sorceror skullcap, combine this, the other 3 gems and your unfinished scepter of vekis(also in fv) and walaa you own. rhalis shade 31 ikky nec
This has been said more than a few times now but I killed him and looted the required gem today. I found him, actually, not far from the swashbuckler. right at the "muddy hill" area near the NE Swamp of No Hope zone line. Conned blue to a level 32 necro and was a expected challenge for the con. Ignore the 44 level under the description here, unless he spawns at different levels; still though, I believe 44 is a bit high. My guess is 29-31. But definitly under 32 when I killed him. Toughest part is not collecting a series of adds....I just cast on him and ran to safety with him in persuit(spelling?) and fought him away from roamers. Best of luck!
I came he wondering what the gem was for I got today, shame its of no use to me. I saw/killed him near the zone to swamp of no hope in FV (about where the ground texture changes color) so he still spawns as of 2/14/2002
Anyone seen Red Eye Jack recently? It's almost like he's disappeared. We've been camping out in FV for about a month staright, killing pilgrims, pirates, drixies, and drolvargs with no luck. If anyone on any server has seen him recently, can you please post the approx date and where in FV? Maybe with all the changes he no longer spawns and someone needs to look at the spawn tables. If someone has seen him, though, that will at least give me some hope. Thanks to all!
Came running from Swamp zone into Firiona Vie nearest the giant fort. Saw Red Eye Jack, was green to 57 (obviously) stopped to kill him. He dropped an FS Sabre which I forgot to investigate, if I had seen it was NoDrop I would have looted and ID'd it. The ruby named "Jewel of Garnak" I ID'd as "Crown Jewel of Garnak" and since it is for IKS NEC I may now destroy it in peace. My faction is not good enough to enter Cabilis yet. Sorry 'bout that, lizards...

I just killed Red Eye Jack and looted a No Drop Lore Fine steel rapier and a Jewel of Ganak. No Drop Lore I camped Ancient Jarsath at Fort and saw his name my tracking. He was green at lvl 53 and conned ready to attack.
Friday the 15th of Febuary, I saw him wander through the north edge of the Drolvarg camp in th e northeast corner. This was on Vazaelle. He was heading east towards just south of the Giant camp.
Yeah I killed him as a lvl 34 paladin and only had to root and heal a few times just to be safe.
There is a newly found Necromancer quest that requires 4 gems. I have not had this Gem identified to see if it reveals any more information but it could be for that quest.
No way ole Red Eye is 40. He conned blue to me at 35 (wizard), and I killed him easily at half mana, which makes him a low blue. He is more like 30-32.
I killed this pirat once and the red stone dropped is called "Gem 3 Venik" this (LORE and NO DROP) gem have excately the same look as the more know "scarlet stone" found on drolvargs. Red Eye Jack is attached to the faction "Pirats of Gunthark". I cannot find any informations on that quest. When I petitioned for any infos the GM had this reply : "May one day you will know, keep your eyes open"... I presum this means at least that the quest exist and is not broken... I hope so.
