this is a great zone. most of the posts are obviously by people unfamiliar with the zone. if you know your way around this zone will be your best friend.
the thugs and smugglers are the key to this, they give great xp for their lvl!!! i have lvled 4 characters in this area and have had no problems. if you know what you are doing you can lvl from 7 to 15 in less than a week easy.
dont worry about all of the high lvl mobs on the above list. all of the scary ones are in the temple of bertoxx, and only a fool would go near there(like ten guild masters, 10 specters and about 20 other named mobs in a small area). the thugs and smugglers are far from this area.
i will not tell you what to do but go check it out, you will not regret it.(hint: stay to the left wall)

| The evil-aligned Bloodsabers guild makes its home in the catacombs of Qeynos, quite the unwelcoming place for those who come from the city's top side.
The rest of this aqueduct system - half dry, half water submerged - is littered with a variety of creatures from zombies, rats, snakes, and alligators to fish, sharks, and piranhas. Also found here is a band of smugglers, but they stick to the east-northeastern tunnels. |

Lol yea they get realy mad at you if you do that, I would know =P

THIS IS A NEWB ZONE! I lvl'd here with my char on Rallos Zek from lvl 3 to lvl 11, and i am not a believer in an evil deity, just get a map. Whats this i hear about guild raids here? Lol! sure, raid this place and kill all the rats and snakes, and if you're lucky, might be able to kill some Smugglers! As long as you know where you're going, you'll be fine. Your worst fear is getting PK'd here, even worse, some punk nukes you, runs, then leads you to the spectres. I knew what he was doing, i let him run. GET A MAP AND YOU'LL BE FINE!

After reading all of these posts, i still dont know if i should bring my lvl 11 magician here. All of you talk about how necros and "spectres" are down there, but if there were, why would there be a quest down there for lvl's 3-5? Just a thought. Maybe only once in a great while you see a "spectre" and get killed. Or are they all over the place??? I just dont know! Well, any advice would be very helpful. Thanx a million!

Just realized a potential point of confusion in my post -- I said "enter the catacombs" but I meant "enter the aqueducts." I call the whole zone the "catacombs" but the only catacombs-like part is the area around the shrine to Bertoxx.

This zone is pretty safe if you know where you are going, but if you don't have good Bloodsabres faction (you probably don't) a wrong turn will be deadly. The hunting is pretty good, but at your level -- if memory serves -- you'll be hunting tough 3-mob camps, and you WON'T find a pickup group down there. You have a few options, from most honorable to cheapest:
1. enter the catacombs from the secret wall next to the North Qeynos gate (look for the ivy), run around in fear, do NOT go through any more secret doors, cross your fingers. (All entrances to the Bloodsabres-controlled area with the spectres are hidden. Outside of that area, I doubt you'll encounter an agro wanderer that could kill you.)
2. make yourself a human follower of Bertoxx and explore, then come back with your mage.
3. go to www.eqatlas.com, print out the map, head straight to the appropriate level camps.
Your choice...but do check it out one way or another...gotta love the qcats.

If you choose option 2 make sure that you follow the Spectres, necros, and Rotting Sentrys and see where they wander. It used to be that they would woander well into much of the rest of the area. Like all the way out to the smuggler's spawn point. This made it way too dangerous, in my experience, to hunt here in about half the dungeon since nearly everyone is KOS to them, and they are all high enough to instakill anyone wanting to hunt here for XP. My first (and second and third) introduction to the zone was doing a corpse run for a friend of mine who had gone in and died. Turned out that my Agnostic Monk was not KOS so I could explore and find her body and get it out to a safe spot. It wasn't until I made an Erudite Necro and lived there (for my banking and other things) that I really began to understand the area and these Killers and their movements.
Last time I was there, though they seemed to have reigned in these wandering guards, perhaps as a part of the City's reaction to what happened in the Karanas. So, follow them around for a while and make sure that the area you want to hunt in is safe (nothing in the dungeon is aggressive except the Pirahna)
Good XP there though, since they gave it a bonus last spring when they revamped the XP system.

Another way that i am not sure many people know about to the aqueducts is in the steel warriors guild. When doing the newbie quest to raise faction you have to go to the dungeon and fight some young lion in a cell. Took out the lion in two swings at lvl 30 or so when i saw a funny looking wall. I zoned in and some dude who obvioulsy didnt like my paladin ways started slashing me for 65 or so and conned yellow and he was wearing a full suit of plate which made him resemble a warrior type. Going to kill that guy as soon as im back in queynos now that i am lvl 41!

i have never been down in the aquaducts but looking at this beastiary it looks like a damn frightening place. How is this zone lvl 5 to 40 when there r supposedly lvl 50 monsters wondering around? are a lot of them rare spawn, do i just have to watch out for the necromancers? and 1 more thing is this an ideal place for a guild raid or is the loot bad and too many high level monsters?

This is a city type area, It holds the guilds for the EVIL poeple, the wandering bats and rats sre there for ambiance. The specters that are posted and the one wandering one bring a nice feel to a visiting Necromancer. With the curse of Bertoxx coming into full bloom there may be an actual reason for a couple groups of lev 50+ to go in. You could go down there to kill rats and such as a newbee, but when aomething finds you messing around where you shouldnt be, youll have to scroll back to the part before LOADING PLEASE WAIT to findout what happened.

I just got Beat down by a Specter down there, new monster with patch?
Anonymous
plz add the undead knight to the list, it is in no way related to the blood sabers, etc. so you do not loose/gain faction for killing it. He is about lvl 3-5 not sure exactly, maybe as low as 2 and is a weakling for his lvl. He ALWAYS drops the limestone ring (+5 hp, not lore or no drop, but is magic). Yet another nice piece of newbie equipment from qeynos.

I need help in raising my faction everywhere. I am an Iksar Necromancer. Got tired of playing in Kunark, now I wonder the Karanas. Any suggestions, I'm level 22.

I found something called a Memphis Rat when I was exploring with my dwarf. Red to a lvl 6. It agroed on me and bit me for 81 and killed me
That was probably the sepsis rat... it's around level 30 and has Bloodsabers faction. It cons indifferent to my monk.
I have noticed that in place of a smuggler you will sometimes see a Currier.
Are they there for a specific reason or just for flavor?
I have only seen them in the very first Smuggler room when you head down into their area in the Sewers.

A good quest to raise faction with bloodsabres and corrupt guards is a two parter...
1. Talk to Faren on the dock and ask him "what tacklebox". He gives a story about how Trumpy kicked it in the water and will ya get it for him because he can't swim.
Dive in the water and you'll see it. It looks like a small bag. Give it back to him and
Good Qeynos Guards raise
Corrupt lower
Merchants raise..
He gives you a "hurriettas bloody dress"
2. take the dress and give it to ton Firepride
Corrupt Guards raise
bloodsabres raise
Good guards lower.
Ton is a secret Bloodsabre so if you continue to do the quest until he is Apprehensive you can travel relatively safely in the Sewers.
This actually raises faction with Both sets of guards, because the both raise more than they lower.

Ton Firepride is on Corrupt guard faction, not bloodsaber. So if you are planning on making a trip down to the sewers which is very deadly in a lot of areas for those not alligned with the temple do not rely on what this guy cons. I have done the hurrietta quest many times and went around conning appropriate characters to check faction and being a erudite shadowknight could also enter the temple below, this is a nice faction quest as I am now from starting kos to regular guards up to amiable with the bertox guild, the corrupt guards and regular guards, now if I could just figure out how to work on those mages, luckily they are blind and can't see me standing almost on top of them. But when they do I last only a few seconds.

This has now been fixed. Beggar Wylin IS the Rat King. Kill him and he drops a human head returnable to Wolten Graffe for xp, faction and a piece of patchwork armour.
Wylin also drops bits of cloth armour and once for me he dropped a rat pelt cape AC1 ColdRes +2.
Presumably he might also drop the other rat items you can get by completing Menkes Tabolet quests.

Does anyone know where to find the Rat King in the aqueducts?

I was down there looking for Vin Moltar (who never seems to be around when you need him) and saw someone whom I've never seen before in the aqueducts.... Fellweni the Kraven. She con'ed red (dubious) to my 30 cleric of life. Anyone else seen her/knows who she is?
I don't think she's new, but I've actually seen her pop up on track and disappear immediately while I've been down around wher Cubert spawns -- she may well be bugged so may be a "rare spawn" -- long enough to live to be seen that is.

I believe these are two fairly new monsters that spawn right next to the smuggler's, the first group of smuggler's where the ring leader also spawns. A courier seems to be the place holder for Malka Rale who was red and indifferent to a level 11 shadowknight. The courier was green and hince did not attack when I attacked the smuggler's. When hailed Malka told me should would not deal with such a young pup and appears to be a female half elven rogue. and seems fairly common to spawn there. Someone check it out and get some numbers and info up on this women and the courier as do to my inappropriate levels I was not able to for either the courier although I did kill him, and Malka Rale.

Malka Rale is for the Rogue Epic Quest, for Ragebringer, you MUST be level 50 to speak to her.

I, Selrahc 34 lvl enchanter, was helping my RL nephew(16 lvl magi) kill cuburt for the dress. He had a pet summoned and it chased a rat away. Thinking nothing of it, for I can one shot most agreesive there:)We waited at the spawn spot. when all of a sudden there was a squech, and Curnas lost half his life. By the time I stood up and looked he was dead! And right before my eyes was a large specter. I conned it and it was yellow to me and amible, weird or what!!! So becareful with your pets!!

Oh yeah, it is spelled "Spectre" not specter. Just to let you know.

Well, I can see how the whole death thing happened but the reason it was amiable is either because you worship an evil god like betoxx or you are a dark elf (not sure it that is true but it might be evil and evil) If itsn't one of those reasons you just have good bloodsabres faction or whatever the faction is down there.
