This quest is given to you by Shamus Felligan (he is outside the Shaman's guild). The activation sentance is "I will hunt the goblin casters".

Shamus Felligan says 'Aye, ye'll serve justice. I must find the source o' their recent spellcasting ability. I hear reports o' glowing necklaces upon these wicked beasts' necks. Get me one o' these casters' necklaces. Return them in any condition at all. Go! Justice awaits yer return.'

On turn in of shattered beads:

Shamus Felligan says 'Shattered! This has happened frequently! These beads are very delicate. They're useless to me now, however, I'll reward ye fer the execution of yet more goblin casters. Continue yer work. The Tribunal watches ye!'

Ice Goblin Casters spawn in one location in Everfrost and are an uncommon spawn. They can be found by following the right side wall after leaving the one guard area. Eventually, you will come across two igloos. Casters and Scouts spawn here.

About 1 out of every 4 spawns is a caster, and about 1 in 10 drop the necklaces.

The items dropped can be either "Shattered Caster Beads", or more rarely, "Caster Beads". If you bring the Shattered Caster Beads to Shamus, you receive faction with the guild, experience, coin, and a minor item.

If you return the Caster Beads, you receive a Gavel of Justice.

Shamus Felligan says 'Finally! Intact! This IS good news! I can continue me investigation now. As fer yer loyal deed, I'll offer ye this, the Gavel of Justice. May ye employ it well in the service o' justice.'

I just did the Ivan MacMannis Remains quest. While I was under the ice, killing goblins. I had two casters spawn there. If you have enduring breath, you might want to check them out as well as at the igloos.
Location

Since nobody's posted a location for the casters yet, they spawn at the southern set of igloos Loc is -1150 -1640

They nuke for 13 so be ready for a hard fight

Well randomly I killed an ice goblin and wound up with goblin ice necklace, but when I go to hand it in to shamus he says I have no need for this item now, and gives it back to me. Any ideas?

extending the quest
# Dec 12 2003 at 4:27 AM Rating: Decent
Here is one question I have. I have not done this quest (ever, and my shaman is 57 now so kinda not worth it), but, What i am wondering is, does this quest continue like the cabilis quest? i.e. turn in this hammer plus some other item to get a better hammer? The cabilis quest is very nice, and with the ability of enchanters to cast illusion iksar on others, tempting to try (if its even possible without getting the newbie hammer first) after turning in the requisite 4k+ bone chips to the guard by the entrance of course! It would be nice tho if they do extend this out.

Can this quest be done by Rogues??? I don't want to do the whole thing and find out that I wont get anything. Thanks.
Those stupid beads!
# Jan 08 2003 at 7:28 PM Rating: Decent
sure, alot of people have trouble with this one, but I did it in about 10 min. and I'm not even a shaman!
Where IS this guy?
# Aug 22 2002 at 12:18 AM Rating: Decent
I've been camping the goblins at the two igloos south of the guards who are East from Halas. 4 Gobs spawn here, whelps/scout mix, but I haven't seen a caster in 20+ spawns. /loc is 1200 -1200...

If I ever find this guy I'll post the correct loc.
this is not a quest, it is a wadte of time!

Having devoted a good 6 hours of play time each lvl after lvl 6 (when I found them in the first place) I am happy to say I have killed a total of 6 casters, none of which have beads. WHY ME! WHY ME!

Really from 5 until 7 and you got it... WELL, I camped from 7PM and finally quit at 5AM! 50+ Ice Goblin necklaces and 6 Shattered Caster necklaces later and no Gavel (
Also success
# May 13 2002 at 11:52 PM Rating: Default
On my 58th Caster kill I got the beads followed by some much needed sleep!
Success!
# Dec 24 2001 at 2:35 PM Rating: Default
With my shaman, I was determined to see if this quest could be done or not. I started camping the spot at 5, and stayed until just short of 7, but I got the non-shattered beads and now proudly carry my Gavel of Justice. I just want to let everyone know, it can be done!

Does anyone know if the Shattered (or regular) Caster Beads are lore, magic, or no drop? I've recently begun entertaining myself on the Firiona Vie server where trivial loot code is in effect.

Tonight, The Tribunal blessed me, ringing 8 bells in ceremony of my accomplishments. To celebrate, I went to fight the ice goblin foes. As a caster fell, I realized that this had become a trivial combat. (e.g. I cringed when I saw the Trivial Loot Code message.) Perhaps something else dropped, but... before I spend time fighting these creatures in the name of Greed, err... in the name of The Tribunal... I'd love to know if I'll ever be able to prove my worth to Shamus.

Your input and advice much appreciated!

Five years later, I answer my own question:
They are no-drop, but are not lore or magic.
The trivial loot code should not affect them.

I also forgot to mention that I'm not sure if this will work for anyone who is not a Shaman. I turned in all my shattered beads to the guy, and got NOTHING for it. Of course none of the Shamans really like Rogues so maybe it's just not for Rogues. So if you're a Rogue I'd suggest you sell the beads to a Shaman and make some money, especially if you get the beads for the gavel of Justice, you don't want to go through all of that work and not get anything out of it.

Casters aren't that Rare
# Sep 26 2001 at 9:59 AM Rating: Default
So I've been trying this quest out, even though everyone says it's impossible. First off, Casters aren't really rare. I do believe that you have to keep both goblin camps clean to bring them out. I got 2 casters to spawn at the same time, and then the next spawn had 1 caster. It wasn't a fluke because I did it twice. Best thing to do is to Kill the scouts, then run over to the other camp and kill all the whelps and a scout if there is one, then run back, by the time you get back, the next spawn will be up, or not. Twice I was able to make the run to and from before the next ones even spawned. NO I haven't gotten the unshatered beads yet, but I will shortly, I only camped for an hour and a half and got quite a few shattered beads, so I'm convinced I would get what I was looking for had I stayed a little longer. So give it a try. Casters aren't very rare, especially if you keep clearing out the other camp.

This quest is bogus. The casters spawn about 1 in 20. About 1 in 3-4 times they drop beads of any kind, and 1 of 5 of those happens to be the ones you need. It's about 1 in 15 that you'll kill the caster that's going to drop beads. And that caster is going to be 1 in about 200 goblins,
Good luck.
And to think, I tried to camp this.

Tough quest! I have been swinging by that camp every time I play since about lev 6 Im now a lev 8 and still no beads. I thought I was going to get lucky cause the very first time I went there a caster spawned but no beads! Now I dont get exp for the little critters but I still stop by once in awhile to see if theres a caster there. Ive killed many many casters and ice goblins but no luck yet!
Caster Beads Fact or Fiction
# Aug 29 2001 at 4:29 PM Rating: Decent
I have camped those 2 igloos for over 50 real life hours. With a 11 lvl Shaman I killed over 70 casters I collected many shattered beads but never the "Caster Beads" Thinking there may be a level cap on this quest I created a new character and at level 5 my new shaman sit up shop. As of now my new shaman is level 8 and still no "Caster Beads" The new character has killed over 40 casters and only collected Shattered beads. This camp is dangerous for low levels, as snow leopards, orc troppers, orc mountainers, orc shamans, and sometimes the Dark assassin walk thru the camp.I have kept track of the casters they seem to spawn 1 for every 12-30 scouts that are killed. The casters will very rarely spawn 1 for 1-4 scouts that are killed. This is normally followed by a string of 20-30 scouts before the next caster spawns. I am beginning to hate this camp. If you have gotten the "Caster Beads" please email at Toadstul@LVCM.com , I need to know that they are real and not some online joke.

I have had the same experience as you have described, also i have sent in a report to see if the quest is broken or bugged. For such a low level quest, i have put more time into it than quests with better rewards

Loc?
# Aug 21 2001 at 4:43 PM Rating: Default
Is this camp just to the right of snowflake or just to the right of Bandl?

It seems there are two spots with two iglloos. A northern and southern camp with two iglloos on the map.

A loc would be swell also.

I have camped these Goblins quite often on my journey to attain higher levels. I have gottten quite a few "Cracked Caster Beads", I have never gotten uncracked or regular caster beads, but I have gotten (twice) plain old "Bead Necklace". They look identical to the cracked caster beads, but other than that I don't know what they are for. Are they actually "Caster Beads" just not named as such?
