a rancorous ghast  

For those of you on the PEQ server - things are a bit different for these guys.

They no longer spawn randomly at night.
They no longer wander the zone.

There is only 1 place-holder for them.
Kill any mobs on the TOP step at the Obelisk. (usually a mummy)
It has to be at night...otherwise the Obelisk is empty. (wait till about 8pm to begin)

The mob will respawn every 3 hours (that is every 3 E.Q. hours I mean)
Sometimes you'll get another mummy...sometimes it will be the Ghast.
The span of time you have to work with is narrow. You will only have a few chances to cycle through the place-holder before dawn comes...and the undead all de-spawn.
Then you start all over at around 8pm!

My tip for collecting hearts is as follows....

Bind yourself about 100 feet away from the Obelisk.
I bind myself 100 feet SOUTH of it so the big tree is on the LEFT and small one on the RIGHT.

Spend your time elsewhere till 8pm - then GATE back in and cycle things through.
Don't worry about Equestrielle or any other nasty mobs at this bind-spot. You will be safe.

Hope this helps!
CHEERS!

Greetings,

I am Yambis Dayblaze from the PREXUS server. I've always made an extra effort to help out younger wood elves of Tunare. This is why I have a large supply of Putrescent Hearts in my bank at all times. The quest for the Initiate Symbol of Tunare can be multi-quested. (Along with the rest of the quests to gain the Warden Symbol eventually) I'd like to make it known that I offer this service to those that need it. Send a /tell when you're ready to prove your devotion to the Mother of All and we'll get it done.

im a lvl 25 bout to be 26 druid on saryn server and im still trying to do it javascript:view_profile(614846);

How on earth do you get these things to spawn, been here 3 EQ days and seen one (which didnt have a heart). Tried everything on this board but just cant seem to find any :(

I've been hunting this critter for a while now and it seems to consitently start spawning as of 11pm

I have killed 20 ghasts and have looted 3 hearts. It is beginning to feel like a rare drop on a rare spawn. I have more cords from Thistle than hearts.

Anyone seen these guys in a while? I play on Karana and been killin every undead I track, but no luck on the ghasts.

Ok here is some relief... I know how to trigger their spawn. I have got 3 hearts now from 7 or so ghasts. Here's what you do... Bind at Gfay zoneline. 1) run on the right wall of zone (facing away from gfay zone) 2) It must be night for this to work 3) track all roaming unded an kill them over an over (helps if you shout for people to kill any roaming they see) 4) Every now and then gate to gfay zone line and go on the right wall facing away from zone line, checking track every couple of seconds for the rhancorous ghasts. There it is. Good luck

How exactly Does one trigger a spawn at the obilesk? Pls post an answer

I have been after these little buggers for some time now, and I've come to the conclusion they like to spawn a lot more often when the ghoulboss or the necromancer larivk tvole is up, if you trigger the spawn of the necro or ghoulboss at the oblisk then zone to clear agro from him. the ghasts will spawn immediately after you slay 1, but the necro or boss HAS to still be up at the oblisk. It's gotten me 7 hearts in less than 1 hour, good luck. but i'd post a guard at the oblisk to keep stray people from running uup and killing the ghoulboss or necro, cause that's what keeps happening to me

that's my 2 cp, good luck

I've been working on these ghasts for a couple days now. I've killed 10 and looted 2 Hearts. They do spawn during the day but they are definately more prevalent at night. Watch out for the Brownies...died three times alreadyhunting these things.
Also, if you don;t have Tracking, find someone who does. It's my observation that the Ghasts spawn in the vicinity of the Undead Obelisk, but their actual locations seem pretty random.

I'm a 16 High Elf cleric of Tunare and there is nothing I hate more than this particular quest. I attempted it when I found out about it from doing the bone chips quest w/ my other char and attempted this bit with my main one. I have two hearts now and have killed almost a dozen of these things. Not only that, I have lost several levels repeatedly from those d*** brownie scouts and once the corrupted and tainted brownies. I have given up entirely on ever completing this quest until I can get Shared Wolf Form from a guildmember or buy one from someone. If anyone's on saryrn, drop me a line and we can try to kill these things together. Free heals, buffs, binds, cures, etc. to anyone who mentions this post. Excludes monetary units.
