The Qeynos Hills connect the city of Qeynos to Surefall Glade and the Plains of Karana.
There is also an entrance to Blackburrow, dungeon of the Sabertooth Gnolls.

With low level wandering animals, undead and gnolls, and protection from wandering Qeynos guards and residents, this area is fairly tame. Two popular finds here are the Fishbone Earring and Glowing Black Stone.

Loathsomes

ok, check it out, these things have been able to kill me numerous times. i have around 1.3k hp seeing as im a lvl 37 warrior, they can backstab for up to 137, and do decent dmg for hits around 60. although, they do have some interesting loot. i have looted about 5 weps from them, all lore, 2 with added stats. first one, i think was a runed flattening thing or somethin, i dunno, but it was like 6/38 effect burst of flame or somethin around that. second, was like 5/27 +5 str -5 cha. fairly decent wep...well, hope this helps. have also looted three different kinds of words, and a tome of greater magicks whatever thats for.

I killed these today as well, they were difficult to a lev 43 and lev 49 druid teamed and were forced to zone once when the high level wizzie spawned. We are not sure, but we believe the words that you loot have something to do with the tome that you loot (occasionally) from the wizzie. Another interesting detail is, the wizzie doesn't always spawn upon killing the lower level loathsomes, once a cleric, with complete heal capability, spawned and droped pretty much nothing. The high level spawns were still blue to the 49 druid so we are making a guess that these are around lev 38-40 depending.

happened across another new npc in qeynos hills - a bandit runner, killed it easily (33rd druid, I'd guess this guy was lower lvl than the karana bandits) no faction for killing it, dropped a rusty mining axe and accursed paint.

hanging onto the paint, very curious about it.

Just a thought...Maybe there's an intentional progression here. They seem to have replaced the Rude's with Loathsome's...maybe at some point soon they'll switch to something else? It may be a progressive story of some large quest or something. I guess we'll wait and see.

Just some NPC's I thought someone could research that I know are in Qeynos Hills:

Rude/Loathsome individuals (yeah they brand new)

Gnasher Furgutt - Gnoll dude that spawns at night west of BB entrance. Kill him for a Surefall quest or talk to him for a quasi-evil quset involving blackburrow stout. Somewhere around lvl 10?

Talym Shoontar - Human walks from WK zone to NQ zone. Kill him for a Surefall quest. Level... 14-15 or so? Dunno, always been red, but I know he's not super high

Gnoll hunters - rare gnoll spawns. Drop top and bottom halves of Jaggedpine Crook. Low level, like 5 or so.

That isnt the only thing it resists hit it with every spell in my repetoire except heal. Did maybe 1/4 bub of damage melee with my 24 lvl Ranger before this sucker killed me. Careful large agro range almost up there with the Rudes and Loathsomes.

That sounds like the other defiled mobs--when you kill it, a Corrupted Grizzly is supposed to spawn in its place. Whee, death to the newbies.

Loathsome Loot and Levels
# Sep 30 2000 at 4:18 AM Rating: Default
So far, I have looted An Adept, Initiate, and Apprentice sword from these ones plus some words, not the usual, and a container called the Tome of Great Magicks.

The lvls range from some really easy greens, to a 35, and one as high as 36 which has always been a caster so far. This caster hits for around 56 to 81 melee and blasts well into the 300s with a fire based spell.

No faction hits and the spawn rate is incredibly fast so long as you kill them. Otherwise, they tend to despawn and come back after a bit.

Were most likely taken out of North and South Qeynos because they would constantly attack anyone (specially newbies) who were trying to sell and or rest up from a battle. And since they had no faction, the guards would not help at all.

There are still a couple of types of individuals in N&S Qeynos. I just forgot which atm.

I have some stats on the new "A_Loathsome_Individual". They are not consistant on how or where they spawn. As a level 9 warrior with 1/2 full body bronze armor, they slew me in maybe, 4 seconds. I returned as my lower Bard charecter to reaserch them some. I have noticed that there are 2 main types, casters, and caster/warriors. They spawn every 2 minutes (approx) and deal 70+ damage to an un-armored character. I watched a level 50 warrior deal about 250-300 damage just to kill one, and as he slew the second one, another respawned right where the other corpse was. Though tough to slay, they DO have excellent loot. I've heard of the caster dropping Damask Robes, Book of Magics (used for combining objects to creat spells?). The warrior drops armor, swords, and the such. They are tough to beat, but the loot is worth it. Good luck!

Loathsome Individuals (longish)
# Sep 29 2000 at 6:39 PM Rating: Default
Wandered through Qeynos hills on my way to Surefall Glade yesterday when I caught a new critter on my tracking, Loathsome Individual.

Being the curious type, I went to investigate. In front of Black Burrow, was a hut with two Loathsome Individuals in front of it. I targetted one, and it conned green to my 29th level druid, so I wasn't especially worried when it came running at me. When the other two started casting spells, I was still calm, after all, had Bramblecoat, Form of Wolf, and Skin like Steel up. My hitpoints began dropping...

Took out the warrior type in my face, and began hitting the casters with AoE, two for the price of one... ...here comes a monk type... ...conned the caster that was the focus of my AoE, and found he was blue.

Since I was running low on mana, and Mr. Monk Loathsome was interupting my spells, I ran for Black Burrow Zone. Never made it.

With Superior Camo up, this chastized Wolf ran back for her corpse, only to find that they were still scowling, ready to attack. A speedy run and /corpse hotkey and zone into BB saved me and my corpse. Apparently they see through invisibility spells...

Now, I went and finally located (in EC) a 52 cleric that was (1) willing to exp rez me, and (2) wanted to see the new mob. Upon her arrival, they agroed on her. She nuked a few, and then some more, and then some more. I was assisting with these nukes as well. I ran out of mana fairly quickly, but was unworried, after all, they werte blue and green to me, and she was level 52...

She told me to zone - she was about 3/4 health, and OOM. I zoned, as did she. Inside BB, she loaded up what she told me was a 486 point AoE. Some meditation, and we went back out.

BLAM! BLAM! Two of these took down three of the Loathsomes. She was looting the second when they respawned, and immediately agroed on her. She ran for BB and I looted the body she missed, and got jumped by a fourth spawn. I was fighting it when her train returned, after having paused (only slightly) to kill some newbies in the area. I zoned.

FACTION: None listed...
LOOT: Warrior type drops a LORE ITEM Apprentice's Long Sword, and the casters drop Damask Robes. Not much coin drops, but loot can be sold to merchant for better than a platinum each.

Side Note: A friend that plays on a different server told me that a 52 Paladin could not keep up with this camp...

I've looted uncommon words, some leather-type armor and a goodly amount of fine steel weaponry from them, as well as Adept and Initiate Long Swords. My friend has the book. He thought that he might try combining words in the book, though . . .

I ran up to the new spawns and proceeded to fight. It seemed that as soon as I dropped one, another would spawn. This kept up for about 8-9 mobs. Finnally I dropped the 10th one and the insta-spawns stopped. I was down to 2 bubs of health. It dropped a magic book container thingy.
Also a 8/28 hammer with a damnage proc.

A friend (27 Druid) and I (28 Tank) were heading to Qeynos and one of these aggro'd on me. I was running at the time so only pulled one I sliced it open, conned the rest from afar and headed into qey. After the one i killed there were 2 at the hut 1 green threateningly and 1 blue indifferent. After finishing my business in qey headed back out to check on these things. The druid got a little too close (they have large aggro range) and got jumped. Both were green so we proceeded to waste them. Killed one and ...says "ADD". toasted the second of the first two...ADD. Conning this bunch, blue, took them out, ADD, druid lom, 2 new ones were blue, killed one ADD, caster white con. Druid died I tried to run to qey zone ....returning to home point ...which happened to be Gfay =( . These guys spawn one right after another, instant spawn, and they get progressivly higher in lvl. This will be a fun camp with say 2 full groups (i say two because I spoke to someone who's group for fun took on the camp, full group of lvl 40s with 2 clerics and they ended up getting wasted.

last night me a lvl 31 druid and a guildmate lvl 35 warrior went to the spot near bb ent, and spent about 2 hours killing these guys, staying clear of the hut thingy in between fights. never got the runed branding iron =(, but a little bit of bronze armor, some fs and bronze weaps, came out of it with like 70pp each when we logged. we would con a blue one and wait to attack while i was medding and they would unspawn after like 30 seconds. thought that was kind of weird mob behavior.

#Anonymous, Posted: Sep 27 2000 at 11:29 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Yesterday I saw a even newer spawn "A Lothsome Individual" they conned red to my 9th level thief and green to my 30th Necro. they were at the shack outside of Black Burrow and outside of Qeynos Gate. The ones outside of Black Burrow agroed on my 30th Necro. 3 of them attacked me. 2 were casters and one wielding a bronze Rapier. I killed one and looted but had to gate becasue the spells the other 2 were casting were eating up my hit points real fast. I shadow stepped and gated with 1 bubble of life left. They were hitting me for 50 + a pop. If I had my pet up it would have been different. They had around 300 hit points because I hit them for 160 shock of poison and they were at half.

Rude Individuals
# Sep 26 2000 at 8:18 AM Rating: Default
Summing up the other posts and adding a bit:
"a rude individual", level range about 8 to 12, hit hard, no casters, carry minor coin and items, have no faction gains or losses, can see invisible, large aggro range, very aggressive. Spawn in pairs at 3 tin sheds in Qeynos Hills (out from Blackburrow and at either ends of the Qeynos wall) and at 2 storage dumps along the wall on either side of the Qeynos north gate. There is also a rude individual that wanders South Qeynos. This one is like the rest except he will con indifferent, most likely so he won't aggro upon spawning.

New Mob
# Sep 21 2000 at 7:48 PM Rating: Default
With the last patch they added a new mob called a rude individual, so far I have seen them in outside the walls of qeynos to the left of the gate; and in qeynos hills infront of the BB entrance. They are aggro, and there are two types of them; 1 type is around level 8, and the other is around 10 to 12. They will aggro you no matter what your level is, they went aggro on my level 22 barbarian shaman and were a quick and easy kill. they hit rather hard for a low-level mob, around 14 or so. I know their approximate level because i first found them with my level 7 warrior, the con yellow to red to him.

Thanks,

RE: New Mob

I would say that they are 9-12, as my level 13 Cleric conned most of them blue, and very few green. They never conned white or higher to him. They give reasonably good gp-loot and exp.
They are not casters. They flee from my 13-char when at about one-forth of their full hitpoints.
