Illusion: Iksar  

I did the quest in about 3 hours. Got each part on the first kill. I went to the brigand camp, cleared it, and then instead of sitting there, I decided to stroll down by the water, and there one was, I am level 34, had a 44 necro with me, so we made short work of it. The Icebone was simple, as was the Tiger Mane. The only problem was the leeches running around where we found the Shaman. Had a couple attack us while we were medding to take the shaman, and then all of a sudden one walked by, so we killed it and it dropped. My opinion is that this is a fairly easy quest, in a few very dangerous zones, had to run leeches to the Drixies a couple times, not sure if they got the leech or I just lost it. But I think I will wait till my 40's to try it again, even with a companion, it was too close with the shaman. Good luck to all that try it.

I completed this quest recently, I am a 47 Druid, and I recieved the spell Vision of Sebillis, not the spell Illusion: Iksar. This is both good and bad I think, since I need Illusion: Iksar, but no one has heard of the spell I receivd - is it rare? New? What's the deal? Did Verant just change the quest?

Well I have to say this is a group quest. I tried this quest solo at 45 as an enchanter. Got spanked the first time by random greens in FV. Once I got to 49 it was easier. But good lord this is 20th level spell, with nothing but a cool look.

This quest is one of the suckier ones. I got the powder, mane and heart of ice in about 3 hours. There is no way a level 20 could do this quest. The correct level range should be a minimum of 30. The Nok shaman will be VERY dangerous blue to you at that level. Try to find someone else to kill it for you as it is a caster and can root, dot and hits like a warrior. You should be able to kill the Ton Warrior at level 30 solo, as long as you are smart.


That Totem is a pain in the butt. I cleared the brigand camp and killed everything around it. I don't think that mattered though... two Ton Warriors spawned and walked right through the camp. I killed them. No totem. For the next several hours I kept everything within sight dead. But I don't think that really mattered. Because again two Ton warriors spawned and walked through the camp. I killed them as well. No totem. The next time I just sat there and only cleared the Brigand camp so I could sit near the fire. Several hours later (more than 5), two Ton warriors came walking through the camp. First one had pieces, second one had the Totem(looks like an orange monkey sitting on his ****** So it seems to me that these are just rare spawns without placeholders (kinda like how the wandering icebones in everfrost cave only spawn every 6 hours). My advice would be to go to that bandit camp and just wait. No need to waste time killing stuff. I bet they spawn on a regular interval there, someone just needs to time it exactly. That should save everyone loads of trouble. And yes, I would easily pay 2k or 3k for that scroll. It's a waste of my time to work on this quest for 15 hours. I consider myself lucky, getting it on the 6th one. And yes, I had someone tracking for me the whole time.

I got this spell finally. You're all going to hate me for this, but I didn't kill anything to get the items. Looted them all off of dead things. But in any case, the faction hits for doing the quest are:

FirionaVie (better)
EmeraldWarriors (better)
StormGuard (better)
LegionOfCabilis (worse)
PiratesOfGunthak (worse)

Contrary for a previous post: There is no Regen on this Illusion. Ive checked it a number of times. Result is Illusion Troll has Regen, Illusion: Iksar doesn't.

I managed to complete this quest in an afternoon. The bit that I wasted time on was looking for a Sabretooth Mane when I kept getting a Sabretooth Tiger Mane. In the end I guessed it was the same thing, which it is. I was also lucky enough to get all the other items on the first drop. I even found a ton warrior by the bandit camp in about 30 mins after letting my pet massacre a few bugs, plants and skellies.

Do the Ton Warriors in Guk drop the totem?

Well after dieing 3 times and losing 29 and clarity twice i desided that this quest isn't worth it. I'm a 29 enchanter and i had a level 39 paladin helping and we had too much trouble. THAT TOTEM IS IMPOSSIBLE. In the 6 hours we camped the Froglok city in The Swamp of No Hope we saw 1 ton warrior and he had a broken totem. And I thought that the shaman powder was hard to get. :P Good luck.

If you got the totem in 30 mins, or fairly quick , your lucky. We were doing tracking sweeps( folling a parallel /loc) through have the damn zone . Good luck!

BTW I saw someone in FV buy illusion iksar for 850pp.

1k for the totem? ROFLMAO! It's not worth /half/ that.

You said you had a ranger with you. Instead of sitting on your **** waiting for them to spawn, track them down! We did in my group, and found plenty of ton warriors running around. We got the totem in less than 30 minutes.

Jeeze, some people...

Okay, I'm about to really rate this quest as something that should not be heard by little children!!!!! I am so darn fed up with this whole thing. I have time the spawn of Ton Warriors, at the camp spot just north of 2500, 0 both pos. They spawn at 7am. I have timed that. I have been on for hours, and for 5 days straight. I have killed about 10 ton warriors, and i'm at the point where the only loot is the piece!!! AH!!! I have everything but this totem. I have a ranger w/me most of the time, but I have been here for so long, they just pop at my camp spot. Yesterday I got really lucky, and two spawned, killed both of them, and nothing. This quest is a big, big waist of time if they will not make this a little more frequent spawn. If I do decied to do this again and sell it, This will not go for less than 1k I will not waist my time on this quest again, unless I happen to loot this first. Oh yea yesterday while running back to FV, I found a dead Nok Shaman, and on it was the powder for this quest, but I already have it.
