[Wed Mar 19 18:05:58 2008] You say, 'Hail, Dugroz'
[Wed Mar 19 18:05:59 2008] Dugroz says 'Fffrroaaak!! Go away! I don't want to [work for them] anymore! Go find another slave!'
[Wed Mar 19 18:06:18 2008] You say, 'why don't you work for them anymore?'
[Wed Mar 19 18:06:19 2008] Dugroz looks relieved and eyes you, considering. Finally, he begins to recant his tale. 'I was once the slave of an important Iksar necromancer. I was his Dugroz, his head slave. One night, I heard two other slaves talking about me. I could barely hear them but what I did hear frightened me. My master was going to use me one last time. He was going to sacrifice me to craft a spell component for one of his most powerful spells. Hearing this, I used my privileges as his head slave and made my [escape].'
[Wed Mar 19 18:06:27 2008] You say, 'how did you escape?'
[Wed Mar 19 18:06:28 2008] Dugroz says 'As the head slave, I was allowed to move freely throughout my master's compound. I came across one of the slavemasters asleep in his chair and carefully relieved him of his [keys]. Then, quietly, I made my escape.'
[Wed Mar 19 18:06:32 2008] You say, 'what keys?'
[Wed Mar 19 18:06:33 2008] Dugroz says 'After I escaped, I lost myself in the depths of the swamp. I discarded all the keys but one. I will gladly give it to you if you can do me a [small favor].'
[Wed Mar 19 18:06:40 2008] You say, 'what small favor?'
[Wed Mar 19 18:06:40 2008] Dugroz blinks his eyes and leans forward. He whispers so quietly you must strain to hear him, 'I have taken up the same magics as my master. I require two components to complete a spell I have been researching for quite some time. The first is a vampire's fang. I have heard tales of a vampire who haunts the ruins of Kaesora. I also need a jade weapon stained by the blood of a chokidai. Look in the Lake of Ill Omen at the sarnak outpost. The leader used to herd chokidai, or so I am told.'

This guys is at LOC -250 -1800 he is NOT IN the frog city....I found out the hard way lol but he is close to it...also after I did the turn in and got the key I accidently hit him....he is no problem but hes buddy there will hurt ya some....75 enc here..and he resisted all my spells..so I did what I do best growing up as an enc....RAN!

I read below that this was MQ'able and when I went to turn in the pieces Dugroz wouldn't accept them individually, had to have both fang and prod in trade window for it to work.

Did X-guy today and had been having trouble getting to him lots of SI Spiders and such and this was going to first drop down and dropping to bottom...Not the way to go. The otherway I tried today was a piece of cake. Go to the first drop down get off at mid level or firse oepning down and follow this invised to room with hole in floor drop down to right corner and follow the hall down and bam in the dead area so IUD and stay to the left of corridors and there is the church all dead except X-Guy and he dropped 2 fangs< of course> and necklace was hoping for the Staff of the dreaded gaze but alas no such luck. The chancelor was soo easy also both were green to this level 58 Necro <with the new conning system> so I got a tiny bit of Exp killing them. Now to get the key.

double post =\

Hey, I think I got a lead to the necklace he was talking about.

Its fabled season, so I saw The Fabled Kraggy Krup when agro'd he says "You cant have it! Froooooooakkkkk! I found it in the swamp! Its Mine! Froooooakkk!" Drops a necklace. Killed him, just need to find Dugroz x_x

Killed Xalgoz Feb 11, 2006 two fangs dropped it was good cause i had no time to wait on a resawn for second person

Dugroz regenerated my 6k dmg nuke in about 3 seconds

This place is incredible exp!
Loot aint that much these days, but I think getting the key was well worth it.

Only tough part is, as said before, the entrance. If a foolhearty adventurer jumps in alone, you might get killed by the few mobs at entrance. I went in first time and gated quickly since I came quite unprepaired... Second attempt took things calmly and they went down noprob.

Also, after killing few golems and noticing that the doors require key, I fell from the fake bridge (luckily had levi still on). Ran around downstairs, walked throught some Venril Sathir painting, cleared the rooms down there, until fell down from ANOTHER trap (seemed to be a red mat), which dropped me to a room with some Ikky monk lying in the corner. He was kos, but didnt aggro. Sat down, then he did aggro. Guy seemed to have alot of hps, but otherwisely he was a wussy. After some slime popped on me, gated out.

Fun zone, no doubt. Might be most interesting if things werent all light blue.

This quest is decievingly easy. I'm a 51 Wizard, and solo'd it no problem. Which is great, now I'm keyed to Howling Stones. A zone I am now very afraid of.

See, Howling Stones seemed like it might be a great place to solo. I figured keyed zone ment good drops and nice XP. The key was easy enough, so I figured the zone would be relitively easy.

Wrong.

I didn't do my research, and after my experience, noticed it wasn't noted in this thread, so here it is: Do not even zone into Howling Stones without a group.

I did, and suprise, second I'm in I have 2 or 3 mobs on me. Not sure of the number, because by the time my screen loaded I was down to 10% health. Needless to say I died.

So what to do now? I have a corpse in a zone I cannot even enter without dying. I spent some time asking for help in PoK, asked a few friends if they could help, even went thru LFG looking for someone willing to help. No bites. Finally a guildy logged on with his 3 65 toons and got my corpse for me, but I just wanted to let you guys know: Watch yourself.

For those that are tossing around the idea of the Necklace of Superiority and Drussil, please remember that the NoS originally dropped off the Kly in Dalnir. It was too good of an item for a lower level dungeon, so Sony/Verant/989 moved it to Charsis.

Regarding that the Kly uses a Sarnak model and not an iksar, and Dugroz mentions an Iksar Necro as his master.

You say, 'Hail, Dugroz'
Dugroz says 'Fffrroaaak!! Go away! I don't want to [work for them] anymore! Go find another slave!'
You say, 'what work for them'
Dugroz looks relieved and eyes you, considering. Finally, he begins to recant his tale. 'I was once the slave of an important Iksar necromancer. I was his Dugroz, his head slave. One night, I heard two other slaves talking about me. I could barely hear them but what I did hear frightened me. My master was going to use me one last time. He was going to sacrifice me to craft a spell component for one of his most powerful spells. Hearing this, I used my privileges as his head slave and made my [escape].'
'You say, 'how did you escape'
Dugroz says 'As the head slave, I was allowed to move freely throughout my master's compound. I came across one of the slavemasters asleep in his chair and carefully relieved him of his [keys]. Then, quietly, I made my escape.'
You say, 'what keys'
Dugroz says 'After I escaped, I lost myself in the depths of the swamp. I discarded all the keys but one. I will gladly give it to you if you can do me a [small favor].'
You say, 'what small favor'
Dugroz blinks his eyes and leans forward. He whispers so quietly you must strain to hear him, 'I have taken up the same magics as my master. I require two components to complete a spell I have been researching for quite some time. The first is a vampire's fang. I have heard tales of a vampire who haunts the ruins of Kaesora. I also need a jade weapon stained by the blood of a chokidai. Look in the Lake of Ill Omen at the sarnak outpost. The leader used to herd chokidai, or so I am told.'

At this point you GIVE the 2 items to dugroz and he in turn says:

Dugroz says 'My thanks to you, Ladiasya, take this key, I know not what door it opens. Now if I can just find that necklace of power that I took from my master's lair!'
[Sun Sep 26 22:01:38 2004] You gain party experience!!

From there you go to Charasis and zone in and the key becomes soulbound and appears on your keyring.

After handing Dugroz the quest items he gives you the key and says:
"My thanks to you, Wwein, take this key, I know not what door it opens. Now if I can just find that necklace of power that I took from my master's lair!"

This to me shrieks out QUEST.

I've tried many combinations of words on him for more information but without any luck.

Having been enslaved in Charasis, his 'master' may well be Drusella Sathir. She drops the Necklace of Superiority. I have since attempted to give him the necklace, but he just refuses it and gives it back.

This may be an unfound quest, or just a hint that Drusella drops a nice necklace.

Killed him solo as a 59 Druid today. No problem even as a non-pet class. Yes, the spiders see through invis more often than not. Just go slow, killing as you go. Staight ahead from zone in to "broken floor room" passage below to the right and slightly behind is the one you want. this passage "did not" show on my in-game map. Used IVU potions after this point, a must imo. These mobs are green but with enough HP's to be a real pain in a gang. A bit of trouble finding "church". Just keep heading "down" after you come to 5 towers. Slowly killed mobs around him. He burnt a lot of mana trying to heal them. Then killed him from within the church, just stayed away from the side with the hole in the floor. He cast like crazy, nothing stuck, my magic resist was 162. Dropped one "fang" and the Blade. Have fun

Don't know why anyone else had trouble, I went down there with my 58 Beastie for the drop for the Progressive Beastie Wep Quest and desided to take him out while I was there .... I didn't fight while in the zone ... warder took everyone out with no trouble and a rare heal here and there.

Me, 56 SK and a 38 War, went there today and got all the way to the chapel. At the chapel we got insane aggro, 7 mobs, War receiving all the aggro. Sufficite to say the War went down and then I took them all down. Well, went inside chapel and Xalgoz was up and he dropped 2 Xalgozian Fangs. Which, I guess is the norm. Anyway we plan on goin' back and gettin his fang and my monks.

Camped Xalgoz today for the fang. killed the PH along with everything else. after 15-20 mins room repoped again, apart from the PH spot at the alter. 10 mins after room repop Xalgoz poped. sent earth pet in with burnout 4 and cadeau of flame on, he went to work. i hit Xalgoz with 2x Shock of Steel (aprox 850pt nuke) and then a Scars of Sigil ( aprox 480pt nuke) pet took off about 700 (give or take a few) so all in all he has about 3000hp. shud be an easy kill for most 55+
Hope this helps :)

Easy Quest took me about 2 and a half hours to do because Chancellor Of Di`Zok was not up I am a 65 wizard went with 2 friends, another 65 wizard and a 65 enchanter we finished xalgoz quickly and the Chancellor Of Di`Zok was a simple kill also just if they arent up it is like a 3 hour spawn time per mob

Just FYI. This can be multiquested. Just did it with a guildie on Terris-Thule.

Just wanted to add. to sum up all I know and most stuff that has already been said.

Spawn time is 2 Hours

This guy will cast:
Malo-lower resists
Togors-Slow
Instill-root so he can run
and some side DoTs

These are REAL easy to resist... but you should have your resists around 50 (30 you will be owned)

I have pulled him into the corner to the left, and I have only gotten an add once, and that time i wasnt paying attention and moved way out and got aggro.

He melees like crap-IF you die-he will stand above your corpse or wherever it was he was last when you were no longer a priority.

I have a level 55 Rogue and i never cared for resists that much. I once came to kill him by myself after a raid, so i had virtue, FOS, Avatar, Haste wore off.. and no resists. I single pulled him with a sarnak right next to him. I got him down to 6% and he healed himself slowly after he slowed me. then DoTed me and Rooted me and ran away. No adds came but I did get one. then he was off for a few minutes and he never despawned. then someone else came down to camp him and he never popped. I am thinking that he never returns to spawn point unless he gates and he only does that if you pull him and hes about to die. GL peoples I hope i helped you.

55 Rogue of Karana-Ramanrie

I camped him 9-03-03 fought my way down without invis or invis to undead. No problem if you dont try to run away,Kill the healer spiders first if you get several adds. At one point i had 5 spiders on me took me to 30% health only cast stun on healers when they started to heal. Once in undead area was easy killing undead till i worked my way to church area . At church area pacified the guardians and pulled 1 at a time till I cleared out church . Xalgoz was up I stood at left side in church pulled him with dismiss undead and proceded to stun him dropped him and had 69% health and 70% mana still left. He dropped a fang a blade and necklace . Slowly made my way back out with little problem . Now on my way to SoNH for my key. Btw only had my buffs on and no KIE but it would have lessened med times didn't see anything try and dispell me.
This was my first time here and followed map from eqatlas as a guide.
Good luck all hope this helps out

It seems the peices arent no drop so couldnt i buy the peices and turn them in?

I did this Kaesora piece solo just for fun. I used invis and lev to the towers area and then switched to ITU. With the very low aggro range of a lvl 64 I could single pull with a temp flux staff. Once in the room with Xalgoz (ITU up still) I loaded up some ae's (static pulse and wave of heat) and let it rip. Sure I don't need the key but I am a post-velious player. Never been to Kunark much so I wanted to explore. Besides the dang planes are camped to bursting atm. Got the VP part too while I was in.

Socor 64 wizzy

As a necro 54, I had no problems getting the quest items. Finding Durgoz was not a probelm either, thanks to the many people who have posted about his new location. The real probelm, for me, was Uulump. The latter is yellow to 54, and highly agressive (that is, not only was scowling at me, but seems to have a fairly large aggro range). The first time i dropped invis in front of Durgoz, Uulump aggrod; I barely made it out (SS and the gate). The second time i went there i made sure i stayed behind Durgoz while turning items in, and it worked. Uulump, btw, does not see invis.

Could a 55 Necro solo all parts for the HS key? If not, best class to take with him?

Lucky me, managed to team up with a couple of lvl 58 characters. Just as well, because my 42 Druid's behind would have been handed to me on a plate in Kaesora otherwise. We each got a fang, then headed off to LOIO to get the Chancellor's prod. Only needed 2 (one char had from earlier)- got one to drop, and bought the other in the Bazaar because we couldn't wait for the respawn. Then it was of to see Dugroz, and 3 keys were handed to us. Exciting quest for me, lucky i had backup.

Was wondering me, 52 druid, and a friend of mine who is a 51 War could do all the parts of this quest alone, ie.. Chancellor and guy who drops the fang? Any info would help. Thx
