The Visceral Dagger  

 

as a 51 SK doing his Greenmist quests... I have been killing the church, the lab, the blacksmith, and the Penkeeper spawn. Invis is your best friend here ... you can take on the chuch by invising to the very back of the church against the wall right behind the Imprecator spawn. I pulled this solo and got 1 sometimes 2 adds but the rest of the church stood and watched on as i killed the Sarnak behind the pulpit. Hope this helps.

This quest took me about 10 hours total as well.
The only hard part was the church. The MOST IMPORTANT thing, is to bring resist gear.
Nothing was sticking to me with resists at about 90. Also, I could also not hold the church solo without C3, as I had to tap and dark, and it was just eating too much mana.
There are 8 pops in there, cast from far and single pull them to the round room outside around the corner until the church is clear, they came 1 at a time, but swarmed if I or a pet went inside. After the room is clear, THEN go in and summon a pet. You have to take them out one after another during the initial clearing (Limit to about 10 sec down time between fights), and you will have a minute or so to med after the last is cleared and the room will start repoping again, but singly in the order that you killed them. This is CONSTANT fighting. Now, the best way I found to camp this room, is bring a lower lvl DRUID :) I had a 34 druid friend come with me (yes, 34 gets XP with a 51, lvl x 1.5 is the formula for a lower lvl to get XP with a higher lvl), and she gained over a full lvl in about 5 hours, and I had no mana problems as she could snare and spot heal. Plus awsome Druid resist buffs!

Sooo... Single pull to clear... Camp in the room... Bring a mid 30's druid and SPREAD THE XP while you camp! (All Dk Blue to her, green to me, so she got XP as if she soloed them)

well, for those saying that VI could make this like the raiders quest listen up. At least in the Swamp you could kill more then 1 mob to get the raiders to spawn. From what Ive experienced/read, there is only 1 PH for every imp, and the spawn time is around 15 minutes. Add to the fact that the lab imp doesnt always like to drop the shard. But, if it wasnt for Greenmist, i wouldnt be slaving away in PH hell

Shackle Room -- Camped this room SIX hours one day with no spawns. TWO hours the next day. Imprecator spawned finally, and I had my [Dagger Hilt].

Laboratory -- Camped this room ONE hour. Never saw the Imprecator. A kindly necromancer who was also in the zone sent me a tell fifteen minutes after I left, and met me in Dreadlands with the [Jagged Metal Shard]. (It's the only non-No Drop piece)

Church -- Camped this room THREE hours. Imprecator spawned to the right of the altar and dropped the [Sharp Metal Shard]. It's probably best for a necromancer of level 49 or less to pull this room from the connecting hallway, one at a time until the spawns are broken up.

Headless Statue Room -- This room was sort of difficult to hold, because it was so boring. Camped the blacksmith FIVE hours. He does, in fact, spawn behind the statues before starting to roam around the room. Dropped the [Forging Hammer of Dalnir]. This item is no longer No Rent.

You CAN use the forge while invisible, so you do NOT need to clear the room to combine the four parts.

Completed this entire quest solo at 49. Total of SEVENTEEN hours, which is about what I've seen posted elsewhere. Good luck!

For any SK's doing THIS quest... they've already DONE the raiders quest and have a right to complain.

I personally have been camping the Blacksmith in the statue room for 3 hours with no luck... and I can only IMAGINE what the church is gonna be like... unfortunately I don't have the guild power or the time to camp 13 straight hours or clear the place very fast...

I do feel that these quests are worth it... but the spawn times are going to kill me... I already know 2 people who have the Greenmist, but without the guild or the insane time needed to camp these things... I'm never going to be able to catch up... and I even started the quests months BEFORE one of them.

Well, I finally did it....not much to say, the church was the worst...took me about 8 hours total (had to do it with a 45 iksar shamy that I sent a tell to). The Lab I was able to solo at level 42, only took me an hour there...the hammer and the dagger hilt...so easy not worth mentioning.....

Anyone ever notice that near each Kly Imp spawn there is a wandering random mob? Wonder of this is a trigger of sorts?

i'm looking for two pieces of info on this dagger. need to know the item lore (identify) and size. if anyone has this dagger please post with these tidbits.

thanks

This quest is a joke! I have been trying to get the imp to spawn in the church for days now! I have no problem holding it at lvl 51, but I have spent more 16 total hours there (8 hrs 1 day, 4 the next, 4 hrs the day after) and no spawn. None of my friends what to hang out that long...half the loot is monk only-nodrop, the other half you cant even really sell anymore, save for a FEW items. I really think they need to "up" the spawn on this thing, or at least make it worth while. If people were making a mad dash for this quest, there would be a line a 46 miles long! I am beginning to wonder if this thing is even worth the trouble and bordom. My opinion: If you have your heart set on it, and love to play the game solo, go for it, otherwise don't waste your time.

Last night, me and a guildmate got the daggers for both of us, it took 13 hours of non-stop camping to get the Imp and Blacksmith to spawn 2 times so we both could hold the item. I must say the longest spawn was the Church Room, took us about an hour and a half just to get it to spawn once, and then it spawned again 30 minutes later.

Have fun, it was worth the wait..I even leveled!
