Guard Shilster is normally found at 1366, -2747, in the north east corner of the zone. I was giving this guy mountains of gold when he decided to wander off, so I followed him. He cut a perfectly straight, diagonal line from where he was standing all the way to the bridge to the Southern Plains of Karana on the south side of the zone, stopping at roughly -3979.45, 1207.08, -18.69. He stood there in the road for all of a minute or two, and then went straight back through the zone on the exact same path, in the direction of where he was previously. He almost reached it but then seemed to despawn, so I hurried over to 'his spot' and found him there, freshly spawned. So, if you're looking for him but he's not in 'his spot', try following that path.

IS THIS QUEST BROKE AGAIN?
# May 30 2004 at 9:44 AM Rating: Decent
Helpin a Friend redo the Qeynos quests.... came to NK and Shilster is no where to be found? Anyone know if this quest is broke (know the 2nd part was broke for awhile) or has it been changed?

Any input would be great.

Seems to me that this guard is a Shadowknight. Took me less than a minute to kill him with my 25 DRU with root, crud, and careless lightning a couple times. But he did get in a hit for 171, which says to me Harm Touch if he is a level 17 MOB.
He is NOT 17-18 lvl, no way...
# Dec 13 2002 at 10:22 AM Rating: Default
This guy is not a 17-18. He was dark blue to me at 21 Ranger. I killed him easily enough with double attack and dual weild, but he is not 17 lvl. Unless the range for colors is 3 levels below my Char.
Spawn Time

I have a small visual basic program that I wrote to time the spawn times on a number of NPC's that I solo. I put the timer on Guard Shilster and his spawn time from death to respawn is 30 minutes.

Hope this helps,

He's normally standing in the northeast corner of the zone, however, after a while he gets bored and announces that he's off to make some sales. At this point, he will walk down to between the NK-SK stone bridge and the wizard spires, stand there for a minute hawking his Blackburrow Stout, then walk back to the NE corner. If he gets delayed on the trip back (due to killing griffons or beetles), he will de-spawn and re-pop at the NE corner location.
He is a Corrupt Guard
# May 26 2002 at 9:07 PM Rating: Good
This is a corrupt guard, don't confuse him with most of the other guards in this zone. My 45 druid that has bad faction with these guards (many of them about the Karanas and inside Qeynos, beware, they go for you all over) after doing the Testament of Vaneer quest, was attacked by him after while at the bridge to SK. Killed him easy, had to....he is corrupt...hehe.
Enchanter Epic
# Apr 12 2002 at 10:47 AM Rating: Default
Being an Enchanter who worships Errolis Marr was a big mistake, but now come time to do epic... my faction for doing the very first part of my epic has already stunned me. I've searced and searched until I found out about giving him 5 gold peices. I'm wondering if this will work instead of doing the crate quest which I was told to do and in the first place which will take about a week to get to dubious so I can use my faction spell. Does anyone know if this faction will allow me to be able to go down and talk to the Enchanter guild master in the Aqueducts?

not the Corrupt Guards faction but the Bloodsabers faction is all of the evil guild in the sewers
Darkforge Armor
# Oct 31 2001 at 12:33 PM Rating: Default
Something else I'll add that I have yet to see posted here is that the Qeynos Kite Shield is used for Shadowknight Darkforge Armor quest and that killing this guy is one of the easier ways to get it. This was my initial objective when I took this guy down with my 36th Ranger (didnt notice the HT but it couldn't have been TOO bad) :-) ,where I ran into the problem was when I figured that since I had the helm I'd do the badge quest too. After turning in the book to Investigator in Qeynos an apparently corrupt guard in Qeynos aggroed on the Investigator! Which again wouldn't have been a prob (he conned green to me) except that all the other guards AND NPC's in the area jumped in too. The investigator went down in about 2 seconds and I made it all the way to the Bard guild hall omw to zone when one of the Bards delivered the final blow. I had the whole damn town beating on me! Incredible... ) Anyway, I still have the shield and will do the Darkforge quest for my SK and leave the badge to bigger men (and women) :-) than me... Good luck.
Quest is easy until 3rd suspect

N. Qeynos: Talk to the guard that's all 'gussied up' in the guard tower (upper right as you enter city). He has a lot of queues before he gets to killing Guard Shilster.
N. Karana: North of the wood bridge near the water, Find Shilster. If you are less than level 20 and have few HPs, let him blast you with HT (he's a SK), then zone across the bridge and buff/med up. Return and finish him off (be at least level 16). Take his helm back to the guard in N Qeynos. He'll tell you about the Investigator (outside the Lions Head Inn).
Don't bother starting this part until you're high enough to kill a level 30ish spawn. It would be nice to have a high level friend come to help you a little.
If you are high enough here's where they are: Write down everything important in that book so you can refer to it. Give that book (the guard gave you in return for Shilster's helm) to the Investigator. Follow directions that you've written down. Making hotkeys for all the questioning,etc is a good idea. Make sure you're going slow enough for that dumb Investigator...the pathing is screwy and I lost him several times.

1. Riley Schplots inside Fireprides (EASY)
2. Willie Garrote underneath the Grounds of Fate (EASY)
3. Donally Stultz on the shore near the docks (he resists and you need to kill him lvl 30 caster).
Guard Shilster & Investigator quest
# Sep 28 2001 at 2:56 PM Rating: Default
Shilster was a yellow con to my level 17 druid last night. He's a Shadow Knight. I let him use up his Harm Touch on me, I crossed the bridge, meditated and buffed up. Then he was VERY easy to kill. Just root, snare, DoT, blast, blast, blast, root, blast blast. He didn't touch me.
Don't bother starting the part with the Investigator until you're higher level tho. You're supposed to have 2 suspects arrested (that was easy enough) but the 3rd suspect was very red to me at 17 and you're supposed to kill him :/ I'm going to see if someone can con him for me. I read somewhere that he was a level 30...which sucks because the rest of the quest is so easy. :(

He is part of the Investigator's Badge Quest No. 1, which starts in Qeynos North. Turn in the cracked corrupt guard helm to Vegalys Keldrane.
