an undead jester  

I finally got him i camped him with group switching off to let the others rest and or sleep when it was my shift i was there for like an hour with 2 others and POP he spawned and we got him easy i looted him and YAY IBC sold for 5k!!!

Well before I ever went to Kurn's Tower for the Iksar Beserker Club i heard all sorts of rumors of past experiences there from guildies. I went the websites and scrounged all of them for information. I proceeded to Kurn's with a map in hand being very careful as I approached Jester spawn area. Keeping all I had heard and read in mind, I was alert and on edge. No one was at spawn so I camped Jester for a while until i was comfortable there. I sat in his room and logged and the next day I logged on and cleared his room and as soon as I sat down to med, the jester attacked me from the hallway. Lucky me he had the club. He was an easy kill for me with that character (lvl 34 druid ). I left thinking how everyone was wrong cause it was so easy to get club.
Later, I went back again for another club and camped for endless days and nights. No luck. Once in a while he would spawn but would have that Fine Steel 2 Hander. I read the scroll he drops and wondered what it was talking about. I took one evening to search the internet for information looking anywhere I could think of. There is very little info about the quest on the websites. Most of the info is in the posts in different areas. But after alot of research and camping jester, I have 3 of the 4 items needed for the quest as well as the container to combine the items in. I have been working on the quest and the jester since February of this year. I have camped there over 300 hours and seen the jester maybe 10 times. He had the club twice and the FS 2 Hander the rest of the time. I have seen the Forager 3 times and the skeleton cook and the fingered skellie countless times. I will post again later more info on the quest and it will be posted as a comment to this post. As a note, most of the times that i have camped here i camp for 8-30 hours straight (no sleep and no one else sitting in for me). I get plenty of sleep before I start camp. If anyone is interested in more info on the quest or anything else in the area and don't want to wait for another post just log onto Prexus and send a tell to Keebo or Xorbin. Believe what you want about the posts you read; but when it comes down to it, almost all of them make sense. They will not seem to contradict one another at all. I have been in the same or very similar circumstances as almost all of the posts here, and of course have developed some theories not mentioned here. I will be glad to help anyone who needs the help, so feel free to ask.

Hah you call this a tough spawn....walked in killed PHs for an hour BAM! Jester pops up right in front of me holding his little club....blam blam dead in 3 seconds (Literally)

I personally believe its all random. he spawns when he wants to and if he wants to. either that or the undead jester is really a gm and only spawns whne a gm feels like getting killed. camped him for 6 hours last night. saw 2 TBS 2 fingered a cook and a forager, the only viable thing i have read is that every foosucka in the place is the PH.

As Iksar Monk I have camped the Jester and Forager from levels 19 to 28. I have gotten the Jester 8 times and the Forager 9 times. On the 6th Jester I got the IBC, on the 7th Forager I finally got the tounge.

I have read and tried many different tactics on the Mith Marr server. The only one I have found to be credible is that you kill the wanderers outside the pit room, this includes any in that hall and one that may come from aroung the corner of the hall leading to the fingered/cook hall. The general spawn interval of these wanderers is 20 min, but there appears to be a 40ish min cycle superimposed too, sometimes...

There appears to be NO difference in getting the Jester or Forager to spawn based on killing the mob in stalls, they do not appear to hinder or help, and I have tried both tactics several times. The post saying the Jester/Forager is a 2% chance on one of the 4 wanderer pops appears to be VERY CREDIBLE. ...and its RANDOM, RANDOM, RANDOM. GET LUCKY, perservere, be patient. The post dubbing this the "test of patience camp" is on the mark, I LIKE IT! :=)

Now, if I could only find out what the 4th item is for the Cook's hollow skull!

Ok. After many hours of camping the jester, i spoke to a guide:

Matrulaz: Is the undead jester a random spawn, or do i have to clear everything out?

Guide ***** (not grassing him up) Tells you: 'Greeting Matrulaz. I am guide ____ responding to you petition. Althought the jester is pretty slack, he will only show when he feels like it. I hope that helps =)

I said: 'So i dont gotta keep clearing everything out like peeps have been tellin me?'

Guide ****** tells you: 'Officially, i cannot comment on any mechanics behind spawns - Personally i find that does help /smile /hint =)'

So, im sticking around. Anyone have any better advice?

after about a 14hour camp of the jester i had pretty much given up on it, but still stayed around the area as i still got good exp from the skellies, i then logged. Logged in the next day killed a skelly sat down to rest when guess who just walks past with a nice wood board with a rusty nail in it, the "Jester". Green to me at lvl 23 and the area is easily soloable at 23, just watch out for SK sappers.

I REALLLY think they should make a quest for this like they did the GB i camped him for 30 hours straight he poped once in the 29th hour but....... NO CLUB!!!!!!!

I have heard, from a high level source (shrug!), that the entire dungeon is a placeholder for the jester, and that essentially you would have to not only clear the entire dungeon - but that every time you cleared it you were only ensuring that another placeholder was taken out...

obviously the rarity is intentionally difficult and the pattern is obscured to make up for the fact that a level 25 can solo the mob and get a 10k item.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH!

Well last night was my first night of camping the Jester and I killed 5 thick boned skeletons 1 Cook and a Fingered. no Jester yet. I'm going to try again tonight and see what happens. It seems like there a pattern to popping, yet I can't figure it out. However I have noticed that when you kill one monster another one pops that same second. Had it happen at least a dozen times. Now as far as someone coming in and ruining camping the Jester i believe it is possible I had a bunch of people come in and kill stuff on me before they asked if i was camping. Another person told me that if you keep the stables clear that after 6 hours the Jester will pop. However if you don't keep them cleaned it takes 12. I'm not sure how true this is so if there is a veteran camper that has seen the Jester let me know from your exp.

I really want to read this note again. If you kill the jester and get the note, post the contents on this website
