There are 5 HPs for the Sarnak Courier, 4 of them will be north of the Windmill, 1 will be in the vast area west of the windmill to the Sarnak Fort. They can all pop Sarnak Couriers. There can be multiple up at once. I had a total of 3 up at one point. If you have a tracker just kill any of the mobs named in the list of PHs above. I imagine if you are after this guy you are looking for the IvA ring. It is rare.. Like... 1/100 rare. I have hunted it for hours killing countless Couriers and have only gotten the ring maybe 4 times.

I have farmed this ring 3 times before all on tracking characters. This view take is from a non-tracking character, for reference I am a lvl 47 DE Enchanter. With not having track there is no way I could do the "Cycle", so opted to simply kill all the PH's that I could find. I added in the Sarnak Flunkie for good measure and just ran around killing every PH in any order. I was pretty successful with getting the Courier to spawn, I would say he popped around every 15 minutes for me. sometimes the PH's would be scarce and I would wait in upwards of a good hour before seeing the Courier spawn.
There were times where the even PH's were popping very scarcely, in this instance I would kill one or two of the most common mobs that were up and it seemed to start the spawn over. In the end I had approx. 14 hours and about 50 to 60 kills (I lost count of actual kills some where around 42).
I think the biggest issue with a non-tracking class is the constant feeling that a courier has popped but you don't know where to find him. I will also add that when i attempted to mass kill everything, i don't remember seeing the courier pop even once. It was very important to kill the PH's and only the PH's, except if the PH's were scarce then I would change it up and kill a few here and there.
Do I recommend doing this with out a tracking class? No, but its doable, the biggest issue I had is when other lower lvl characters were trying to XP and killing everything. This seemed to throw off the spawns, of course it could have also been my inpatients as well. I know this isn't a very technical posting but I question the "Cycle" as I seemed to have the same spawn rate as I did with tracking characters.
Currently playing on Aradune and can confirm it still drops.

The sarnak flunkie is one of the placeholders. What makes it confusing is sarnak crypt raiders spawn from the sarnak flunkies near the explorer tower, between the windmill and the pillars,between the windmill and the sarnak fort and between the sarnak fort and the goblin tunnels there is only one flunkie that belongs to the spawn cycles that spawn the courier. There are 4 cycles out here the courier can spawn from and you will go mad trying to run all 4 alone. Not all flunkies are for the sarnak courier cycles.
This is hard to describe since I went back to LOIO to see where the areas are that the sarnak courier can spawn in. I am still looking for a Goblin Crusher as a drop. I did get 2 more Gazughi rings to make a total of 3 I have gotten.

I've run this cycle for two hours and I've killed everything on it EXCEPT a courier. This is pretty crappy -- will update if anything changes.
Update -- after another hour, I gave up trying to run the cycle and started picking off all the mobs of the same name in the cycle -- if the same name popped when killing off the next name in the list, I'd run over and kill it. For instance, while hunting down all the skirmishers, when I killed on, a brawler popped as I'd already wiped out all the brawlers, I ran over, killed the brawler and then moved on to killing skirmishers again provided another brawler didn't pop. I tried starting with the cats, but, learned they'll respawn before they can all be wiped out. Moved to the next mob available mob in the list on Track, a goblin brawler, wiped all them out, moved to a gobling skirmisher, then moved on the greater scalebones, wiped all those out and as I was going to work on greater skeletons, Courier popped -- and I was REALLY close to his location. Killed it and thankfully got the hand.
YMMV but this worked a lot better for me.
ALLA -- if you guy read this, you may want to change some of this. I never saw A Greater Scalebone or A Greater Skeleton -- only greater scalebone and greater skeleton and those seemed to work fine for the rotation. Also, the a sarnak courrier -- no upper case -- was the one that dropped the quest item.

Just spent 4 days camping this little bugger
I killed "a sarnak courier", no capital in the name just a regular courier for the millionth time and he dropped it. He didnt glow or anything but it was during the day so cant confirm if he glows at night or not but he didnt during the day. and yes the cycle is:
A Goblin Brawler
A Sabertooth Cat
A Greater Scalebone
A Sarnak Youth
A Goblin Skirmisher
A Greater Skeleton
a sarnak courier
a iksar brigand
a iksar marauder
and some times a sabretooth tigress pops up as well, anything else is not part of the cycle.
the mobs would pop between the windmill and ruins and sometimes on the first mountain area next to the windmill.
No one is ever in the zone anymore so the only thing being killed were the mobs i was knocking off, i suggest not killing anything but these PHs because it can mess with your tracking. I was killing a courier every 10 minutes or less sometimes it would go to 20-30 minutes but only a few times.

I tried for 2 hours with just my lvl 20 monk trying to get this guy to spawn north of the windmill area, but gave up and got out my 67 ranger the next day. It took me about 15 minutes of constantly killing everything in the field to finally see a courier on tracking. He was walking near the four pillars near the buildings with the goblins in it... I was worried about those goblins killing my courier so I kept those houses cleared out also. That's a ridiculously hard guy to get to spawn. But I guess the longer we play, the more to Sony we pay...

It does still drop. (4-11-09) Not sure how many hours, but after about 150 couriers. Finally!
I had better luck getting courier pops with my druid(tracking)than mass killing with my enchanter. There are 2 cycles that range from just south of the mountains about even with the windmill to almost the river by FV zone. You can keep them both going at once. There is also another cycle that covers a range from the windmill to the sarnak fort. My druid tracking doesn't extend far enough sometimes, especially on the southmost cycle.
Mobs in the cycle:
a sabretooth cat
a sabretooth tigress
a goblin brawler
a goblin skirmisher
greater scalebone
greater skeleton
an Iksar marauder
an Iksar brigand
a Sarnak youth
a Sarnak flukie
a Sarnak courier

Thank you very much Samm, followed your spawn table with a ranger to help me, and the courier spawned within fifteen minutes. He dropped the hand I needed for my shackle quest, AND the ring! Woot! Also, here is some new info- his spawn point was right around NEG1000, NEG2500. Good luck on this guy!

I've been killing everything from goblin ruins to windmill and back and no sight of courier yet. Was hoping that someone could post a loc of where they were instead of past this or that. A little confused not sure from which direction you are saying if you go past the river to ent to FV too far going north or south? im assuming North since the windmill is south of that and one set of the goblin ruins. any info greatly appreciated

nm lol found him bout 10 min after this post =P
here is the list of mobs with exact spelling that i found on the cycle:
a sabretooth cat
a sabretooth tigress (rarely, and lots of tigresses around that are not on the cycle)
a goblin brawler
a goblin skirmisher
greater scalebone
greater skeleton
an Iksar marauder
an Iksar brigand
a Sarnak youth
a Sarnak flukie
a Sarnak courier
hope it helps
you need to keep killing the newest (up on the list with "normal" sorting) spawns that match these and you will get a courier every 15 mins or so.
after 7 hours of camping (and about 30 or 40 courier kills) i finally got my Goblin Gazughi Ring)
He also dropped this ring earlier:
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1654
hint: stay between the ruins and the windmill, if a cat or marauder appears on track and is not in the near vicinity, it is not from your cycle.
on another note: after a while, i noticed a 2nd goblin skirmisher on track, and killed both, after that i had 2 cycles running (for much quicker killing), looks like there is more than 1 slot on that cycle there.

This is a GREAT post I followed it to a T, and I am getting 2 - 3 courier about every 15 minutes. I have killed 20 of these and no ring yet, I am logging for tonight but starting tomorrow.
P.S. Do exacly what Samm says it works much better than mass killing, I mass killed and got about 1 currior every 30 minutes.
EDIT after a couple days of farming this, a total of about 6 - 8 hours, I finally got it. It ended up being a total of 45 - 50 killed to get the ring. BTW there is 2 spawn cycles. Oh and for those that can't wait the 10 seconds to kill it, the Courier glows if it drops the ring.

This cycle description is perfect! I followed it exactly and got as many as 4 cycles going at one time where I had couriers spawn back to back within a minute. After 10 hours of camping I finally got my ring today. I used my bard tracking to look for the mobs and easily killed them off with a little melee and one dot using Thunderous Drums of Karana. Best Christmas present to myself in EQ ever!!
I would suggest for anyone else doing this cycle to clear the goblin ruins near the shore periodically so that they don't kill the courier when it spawns near them. I lost several couriers to the goblins in the ruins. Also, I damaged any roaming goblins like aggressors to near death. That way, because they were low on HPs, they would run away from me when near and would not agro any courier spawns.

The cycle is indeed very good, but I just wanted to comment that I found many of the mobs, and indeed the courier too, north of the windmill and very few of them in between the ruins. It saves quite a bit of time instead of waiting for him to wander into that valley. Hope this helps somebody.
*Major correction on that*
Thought he meant the "undead ruins" which just so happened to be labeled on my map, didn't realize that he meant the line of statues to the north of the windmill, that is definitely the best spot to do it.

add lesser icebone skeleton as well so far I have kiled the courier about 9 times all the left hand no ring what a pain. I also learned that the cycle can get way more reliable if you have a partner just killing all in site, I even had 2 cycles running perfectly for a while.
Ok, here are some facts/tips/info on obtaining the Goblin ring the Courier drops.
-=HUNTING GROUND=-
Varies - Generally the hunting ground for all the PH's and the Sarnak Courier is between the Windmill and just past the Goblin ruins.
If you go pass the River mouth (Newbie area) near the zone to FV you've got too far. Those mobs are normal spawns and are not PH's.
-=WHAT ARE THE PLACE HOLDERS(PH)?=-
The place holders are 95% of the time one of these MOB's.
A Goblin Brawler
A Sabretooth Cat
A Greater Scalbone
A Sarnak Youth
A Sarnak Flukie
A Goblin Skirmisher
Greater Skeleton
A Sarnak Courier
...all in no particular order.
Once a PH or courier is killed, another will instantly (3 second delay) pop in its place somewhere in-between windmill and Goblin ruins kinda near the river mouth to FV.
NOTE: Sometimes the cycle gets glitched where nothing appears on track. This happeneds from time to time but its easy to fix. At this point kill the top 7 things on track to restart cycle.
NOTE PART TWO: It IS possible to see 2 to 3 (rumors of 4) place holders up at the same time. that means you have 4 chances of spawning the Courier at once.
-=I SEE THE COURIER=-
Great, you'll probably see 10 or more of him during the course of your stay. The Goblin Ring is his RARE drop and its not uncommon to see 30 Courier's killed with no ring. Expect a 2-5 hour camp of doing nothing but killing left and right.
You will know you have the right Courier when he is illuminated with a Greater Lightstone around him. At this point celebrate as your wacking/nuking away cause your hard earned time hasn't been wasted.
-=RUMORS AND MYTHS=-
-"1800pp? for this ring? isn't that hight?" No, thats actually low. The Goblin ring can be worth to as much as 5K - 10K depending on the server. Charm classes like Necros, Chanters, Bards and Druids use this ring to "Break charm" in a hurry to prevent death so they can kill it themselves. Worth its weight in gold when in the hands of someone that knows how to use it.
-"The Courier is nerfed. I've killed XX Couriers and not one ring has dropped" Relax! - he still drops the ring. Its VERY rare so expect a long camp.
-"Can a non-tracking class try to get the ring?" You can try, but without Track its next to impossible to find the next PH spawn in a time-friendly manner. Not recommened unless your a Ranger/Druid/Bard.
-"The PH spawn is broken. Haven't seen one PH spawn in a long time!" The Courier cycle is glitchy at times. Going on a killing spree sometimes jumpstarts the cycle back into full swing.
Good luck to everyone who is going to camp this. its a long and tedious camp but well worth it in the right hands.

The post by LimeCherry is wonderful. It took me about 6 hours but I finally got the ring. As of December 11,2005 it does still drop and this post works perfectly.
I do want to add this, Iksars, all of them in the area described above appeared to be in the cycle too. Marauders were the most common to pop, but also saw a couple others.
Bring a tracker and this is just a time sink. There is no "if" to it. When you do the above descibed method all you need is time to get your ring. I frequently would get 10 couriers every 30-45 minutes.
The ring did not drop for hours, but eventually right when I was about to give up for the evening there it was. Thanks Lime!

This strategy works perfectly, got the courier to pop twice within half an hour tonight. However, noticed one oversight, several times I noticed that "an Iksar marauder" popped in the middle of the PH chain, and the chain continued after it was killed every time. So add "an Iksar marauder" to the list of placeholders for this mob ;)
i Had success with this method.......i got the ring on like the 7th courier. The spawn seems to break more often then i like, i will have to try adding the iksar maurader-->im trying to get another ring for an alt
the merauder is too at the cycle
This method works. Period. I've done the shackle quests twice now (My first Shackle of Tynnonium had to be turned in to get my Whistling Fists) and both times I've used this method.
A tip. Hang out around the ruins, near the windmill. The big huge ones with the long line of pillars. When you find a named up, kill it. If you're a tracker, have track sort in Normal mode. Normal mode sorts by how "old" the mob is, or how long since it's spawned. New spawns pop up on top of the list.
So kill the PH and hit track. Memorize the top 4 mobs, and when track repops, hit it again. Whichever mob is new on/near the top is probably another PH. I originall fought everything ground-zero the first time for 2 hours. Once I got this method and had my bard tracking for it, I got it in 25 minutes.
About to do it for the 2nd time.
Good luck!

I tried the cycle as listed above once before and thought it was broken. I was finding multiple mobs - in the direction of Cabilis so I gave up.
While camping the Chancellor (for key to Charasis), I noticed one of the cycle on track, so I started it again. I can absolutely confirm that this system worked on this date. Within 20 minutes I kille dtwo couriers (shouted for monks to loot the left hand). I haven't had a ring yet (which is what I want), but I am sure its only a matter of time now.

I was helping a monkey friend of mine with this one. Basically just sat near the water close to mill while he slaughtered anything that moved. Then he said something about checking my track for these following creatures:
A Goblin Brawler
A Sabertooth Cat
A Greater Scalebone
A Sarnak Youth
A Goblin Skirmisher
A Greater Skeleton
*A Sarnak Courier*
As soon as I saw one on track, I would run to it, he would kill and right after he looted I hit track. As soon as track refreshed, I clicked it again to find ONE of the above mobs towards the top of the track screen. We did this for a good 15 mobs until finally I had the Sarnak Courier on track. Hope this helps!! GL!

Good day!!!
I've been in LOIO for awhile, Soloing, getting goblin bracers, etc... (I love this zone!!!) and for fun ,and karma, I've been helping some monks look for this ******. Every time I've helped a monkie, We've never been able to get him to spawn. I was informed of a cycle that was involved and saw it posted here (in case you missed it, here ya go http://pub35.ezboard.com/fmonklybusiness43508frm2.showMessage?topicID=1014.topic ). If he is in fact on a cycle this seems to be logical as I've seen plenty of the PH's up around Cab, but only one of them at a time between the lake and the mill, but everytime we went through a cycle another random mob on the same cycle list popped (I hope that made sense). In the time I've been here I have seen this puke one time (yesterday actually). He was walking across the ruins starting on the side closest to FV and continuing towards the goblin ruins. I snagged him before any other mobs might get 'em, then shouted to any monks in the area. Luckily there was a monk in the area so his loot wasn't left to rot. And on a side note, karma does pay off sooner or later. I recieved 25plat and some nice buffs just for icing this guy (thanks Skydd
). Sorry for the rambling, and I hope this makes sense.

i had the courier spawn rite in front of the explorer tower,then he proceded to walk rite towards the entrance to the tower i killed him just before he got near this place fearing they would kill him before me ,it spawned at 3:00 am
it maybe timed and probably gets killed so fast that it makes him a rare spawn,i went on the fact that this mob is only 14th lvl makes sense it would spawn near the newbie area more then over near the mill where there higher lvl,but who knowscould be random area spawn, dropped the hand first time too

I just read this post today, and I think anyone looking for this mob should have this info:
