Rile Sathir ordered the construction of this tower during his rule of the Sebilisian Empire. It is named after the warlord Kurn Machta, and was used by Rile's son, Atrebe Sathir, to breed the Sarnaks. Ghosts can still be found haunting the tower.

#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 16 2001 at 10:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) is the undead jester spawning rate of 1 spawn per week or what???
RE: WTF
# Apr 24 2001 at 10:55 PM Rating: Default
Not one spawn per week, but it is an extremely rare spawn. What did you expect for a mob in an under level 25 dungeon that drops a weapon worth 10K?

Please tell me what you need for the Cooks Skull

Ok, here's the deal - I have been trying for far too long now to figure out what you need for the cooks skull and no one seems to know. The canoptic jars that the forrager drops are the left and right eyes of torture but they do not fit in the skull. Neither does the Skull of torture even when identified. If anybody has done this quest please tell me. E-mailling everquest about it has gotten me no where so I'm begging for help.

Please tell me what you need for the Cooks Skull
# Aug 09 2006 at 2:29 PM Rating: Decent
If I understand you, then you seek an item known as:

The Skull of Torture

In order to obtain it, seek out a glowing skull which drops from the following MOBS:

Greater Scalebone
Lesser Icebone Skeleton

Once you get the skull from either MOB, give it to the cook and he will give you the Skull of Torture. I hope this helps.

Rumor has it (and I stress this is rumour) that you have to get those jars OPENED, to get the actual eyes out. Further rumour has it that the Foreman in the Overthere Outpost (i think) can open them for you.

/em stresses again that this is merely rumor...

Soloist's Icy wand can drop off almost every mob in kurns, but it is extremly rare, you have a better chance at getting the IBC, but then again the first mob you kill have it.

I was in Kurn's last night solo-camping the spot the Undead Crusader is supposed to spawn and killing every type skel that happened to wander by in hopes of getting him to pop. A regular 'ol Greater Skeleton wandered by so I blasted him to get him to come to me and killed him. The pleasant surprise I'm talking about was the fact that he dropped a pair of Burynai Hide Sleeves! A Greater Skeleton! I mean, I didn't even get any experience for the kill but I got a good pair of sleeves so I'm not asking questions other than this: Has anyone else seen normal mobs such as Greater Skels dropping decent/good loot like these sleeves in Kurn's??

I have! I was soloing the main hall and the staircases, and a Scalebone Skeleton (yes, a Scalebone, not a Greater Scalebone) dropped a Burynai Hide Cloak and Reinforced Rhino Boots (two different occasions)

If there is another item pertaining to a skull that might work in place o the note please tell me. THanks

Yes. I got the same thing, and it also says they go in the hand slot. They have no stats to the except for 5AC which isn't the way they are supposed to be. All of the Burynai armor has some sort of stat to it. I plan to report this as a bug.

i had looted the hollow skull off the cook like a month or two ago went back killed him again only i noticed something strange he was emmitting light like he had a GLS (he didnt before). his loot was shield of kurn and hollow skull. i looted the shield couldnt loot the hollow skull because i had it in the bank (mine didnt glow). went and destroyed mine to try to loot it but corpse disappeared before i got back. just wondering if maybe verant fixed this quest and made the hollow skull different and maybe the canopics fit now..

I found a new spawn in the basement. It was called a "fingered skeleton" and drops a "a withered 3" finger".

Any ideas??? Can't find any info on it, so it must be new.

This skeleton drops fingers which Iskar Monks need for the shackle of Rock. Collect all 4! What a joy!

Also, if you kill this skeleton, save the fingers for your monk friends since they are NOT NO DROP.

awesome exp spot in kurns
# Dec 17 2000 at 3:13 AM Rating: Decent
I have been in kurns since lv 12 and have found some great spots, monks do awesome here but other classes can do so also with some risk, fd is awesome. Head to the jester room and fall down you land and do about 80dmg but are in the 2nd floor. There is water across from you and swim across the 5ft little river and start killing there. All burnyai that run will hit that water and stop. They won't swim or run and get friends. It's like having snare and works wonders. although do watch out for high level in the zones. same as the previous poster when they enter suddenly you see more burynai with dmg shields and a ton of harm touches.

Also where are the mobs that are higher then lv 18? i have been there forever from the 4th floor to the basement looking for the named in the catacombs. i have yet to see anyhting since lv 19 that is not green or blue.

Gah Been camping this guy for what seems like forever.. didnt see any rare spawns except for a burnyai forager... what disturbs me is that since velious nobody on tunare seems to have spotted him.. i was camping him and a fellow player ran by and told me he doesnt spawn anymore and verant basically deleted him :/.. any info on this let me know pls.. dont want to waste another 70 hours
thx...

No he still spawns. I looted the club a few days ago. And not seeing him for 70 hours isn't that surprising. He's a truely rare spawn.

RE: Undead Jester no longer spawns?
# Dec 28 2000 at 7:09 PM Rating: Default
I think what happens is that once someone gets the club everyone starts to think they can "just" camp the jester to get his club. I camped it every day 6-8hours a day for a week and only saw 1 jester and it dropped a FS 2h sword. Wasn't until week 2 that I got the club. 70hours, huh? Seems about right just keep hanging around. BTW I am almost certain that there is only one place the jester will spawn and it has only one PH. It is a wandering spawn but it spawns in one spot only and you can just sit there and keep killing the PH until you get the jester. I tried killing everything and he only ever spawned in one spot. I am not gonna make it easier for anyone because those of you who are willing to put in the time will figure out which spot that is. Good luck
RE: Undead Jester no longer spawns?
# Mar 18 2001 at 11:23 PM Rating: Good
The thing is, that to get the Jester to spawn you have to go through annoying tasks. The trick is that you have to kill certain enemies in order. I was a lvl 15 monk with two friends clearing the tower from top to bottom one day, not caring about the Jester... and after we cleared some monsters, including the Undead Crusader which I think is a part of this, we noticed that in the dining room on floor three there was a Burynai Burrower that was faced against the wall on the right side of the entrence... we quickly dispatched it... and was later told that it was part of a chain of MOBs needed to be killed to get the jester to spawn... so if you want to get the Jester kill EVERYTHING in the tower... clear top to bottom!! I know my 30 SK will be doing that.

I'm sorry, but I am pretty sure you're wrong. I was on Terrew Marr campping the jester and was the only one in Kurns (guess the Necros on my server got more bone chips than they could handle b/c of me) and I was killing only the creatures in the Jester area of the basement. Jester's placeholder is in the next room. Sometimes killing him spawns him, sometimes not. He is a rare spawn after all. There are no tricks or patterns you have to go through to get him to spawn. It only takes patience. BTW Got the wand from the placeholder and the club from the jester last night. Talk about luck.

Nice info for anyone camping kurns,
# Nov 27 2000 at 11:24 PM Rating: Excellent
I have camped kurns for 3 months for the club and basically know that place from top to bottom. I can even tell you how u know if you got a rare item coming off the mob. OK a fingerbone weapon ALWAYS has a fine steel Warhammer UNLESS he is gonna drop a buryani hide or ruined scale armor peice. Normally they drop shoulders and ruined scale skirts. The fingerbones have the same deal except it is FS Scimitar. Also drop buryani hide mantle but tend to also drop ruined scale mantle. Lessor icebones in the jesters stall area tend to drop the RARE buryani hide boots and also ruined scale mantles and skirts. Also pulled a helm off a greater scalebone, ruined scale. I am a high lvl iksar warrior so i camp the bottom for club, but i know that the buryani hide wrists drop off of scalebones. The lowestlvl ones. I assume that the rare or better pieces drop off higher lvl mobs. I know butyani hide leggins drop off of excavators and have dropped off skeles. My best bet to get GREAT gear is to camp the 2 jester hallways. The boots, shoulders, berzerker club, the forager pops there, and its the site where i pulled 2 ice wands off mobs. I got 3500 for each wand and i was in a grp where a 3rd one was looted and lotoed. I have looted 2 boots, all kinds of shoulders and face buryani hide gear, and muitliple shaman quests. One tip for fast money is to camp the bottom all night and loot the fs weapons. Take muilitple backs. I pulled 300 loot bag one night just from the FS weapons. Very nice dungeon for loot wise conserding its easy lvls. WARNING: if a high lvl in the zone and u get multiple, the mobs DO get harder. I got HTed 7 times in a row. Did over 1400 damage in less then 5 mins. I had a clerics buffs on. I even got a skele who conned blue to a 29 war at the time. So if higher lvls in the zone the mobs get really hard and tend to harmtouch like crazy. If you need to med sit in the middle of the jesters hallway. Nothing pops but excavators, occansional sappers, and they normally won't attakc if above 24. Lots of info, for 3 months of camping. BTW the jester is bugged, on my server, and spawns in the wall killing himself. I talked to multiple Gms and they will not do anythig till the next patch. So if u keep hearing a skele die by the place he spawns, well thats him popping in the wall. And theres no sense camping him cause its been doing that for 3 weeks on my server and he hasn't popped since. One GM, head GM on my server, told me that they could not even find the jesters name in the mob's list. Leading me to believe he may have been deleted due to the club. Thats all the info on kurns tower i know. Hope you like it cause it took me 10 mins to type. :) enjoy - necros best spot cause of bones :)

I too fought the little sucker tonight though it was funny looking and was about to attack it when a monk who was there attacked the mole and in 4 hits he was dead, i got out alive barely and i thing that i will be careful around it, my friend that was there was lvl 19 and it was yellow to him.
RE: OMG what is this?

The little bugger is an Iksar Warrior Quest Mob. Drops a tiny collar used for the quest. New since the patch before last. The collar is used to get a not from the Grandmaster in the Pain to get a Trooper Scale Helm. (Iskar Warrior ONLY). I managed to get a pic of him. I cannot tell you his approximate level since I am 39 and he was obviously green to me.

Respawn time in Kurn
# Nov 03 2000 at 12:25 PM Rating: Excellent

There is at least 2 respawn times in Kurn's. Found that out while waiting for both the fingerbone skeleton and Barglynn. Most of the mobs are on a 20 min or so spawn table, but it seems that the wandering fingerbone in the stables is on a 40 min spawn table, as well as some mobs on the lowest floor (Caves with Burynais). Of the 3 spots around Barglynn's pond, only one (a common) spawn point is on a 20 min spawn time. The other 2 are on a 40 min spawn point.
Ruined Scale and Burynai Hide Armor

43 posts
OK, after 20 hours and counting of camping and farming Kurn`s tower while looking for the withered fingers, here is what I have gathered about the armor pieces dropped here.

Reinforced Rhino Skin armor: drops from low level skeletons, greater skeleton and greater scalebones mostly (not sure about scalebones)

Ruined Scale Armor: drops from burynai, most of them although I've found most of it on Sappers

Burynai Hide armor: all the pieces I've found came on higher level skeletons, ie lesser icebones, lesser charbones, skeletal cook, fingered skeleton and thick boned skeleton. IMHO, the boots are best part of the set and you should be able to get 750pp or such for them.

Most of the 20 hours spent there were alone in the zone, and there's plenty of mobs near zone for a fun time till you go lower in the tower. At 32, only the skelly and occasional Sapper aggro'ed me and was able to clean floors without losing more than a bubble of HP, unless I got HT'ed by those dern Burnynai.

FYI the fingered and the thickbone; they drop fs scimitars and hammers. If you ever see one without said weapon, it means that it has another drop. The fingered drops the burynai hide mask and the thickbone drops the shoulderpads.
