There are a few things you should know about the mask and getting to it. If you plan to use a melee to solo for this piece, you can take the hits fairly easily at level 39 or so pending on your gear. I have done the incandesecent mask quest a few times for people since lvl 35. At lvl 35 I was still having problems holding the scryer camp having to kill stuff and healing up -hoping- to see the scryer pop. So I thought maybe the skeletal monk would be easier. Here, I did some faction changing so I wouldn't be KOS to live frogs... look it up if you want to change your faction( it is time consuming and involves you goign to tox forest to kill a named ogre there a few times)(the ogre's name eludes me but only gives positive live frog faction and is about lvl 8-12. he is found near the paineel side on the mountain side in between paineel and the shore. he pops every 8 o'clock so it is very time consuming) I was threatening to live frogs and changed to dub or indiff from about 5 kills.

Well apart from finding his (the monk's)entry way in the waters under the spider section that is en route to lower guk, yuo will face a DE shadowknight and his pet.

K, for tempest - if i recall that to be his name- he will assist the monk if you are lvl 39 and under. At lvl 40 I attacked the monk and the SK did not jump in for the first time. If at any lvl you attack the SK first and kill em, you will have to kill the monk fast or else he will flee when his hp drops and he will get killed by the frogs( and the monk will assist tempest too if you are under lvl 40). The frogs hate both the SK and the monk. You can risk it and kill the monk first for the mask and then try to kill the SK to have em flee to also get killed by the frogs but then again he has his pet too. Two lvl 35's can take on the skeletal monk area. Neither tempest nor the monk gives bad frog faction nor any other faction hits.

The scryer is a random pop but so far he has always had the mask on him with the braclet of woven grass. The other shamans around him will heal him alot.

The monk drops the mask on most occassions but not everytime from what I have seen.... I don't know if this was a glitch when he didn't drop it.

I hope this helps those who like to obtain quest pieces. For the incandescent mask quest, this is probly the second easiet piece to get. If you are evil side you can get the rune from neriak easy. If you are on the good side the rune from south qeynos is easy. And it makes getting the other difficult. The hardest part was going into mistmoore to get the rune of off enynti. she is heavily guarded by about 12-15 mobs lvl 30+. She is by the dire wolves who do not aggro. She is in an alcove under the castle and the mobs do not see thru invis. she is however standing in between two gargoyles. These WILL aggro if you melee her at her spot. But a caster pulling her with a spell will not aggro the gargs. Caster stand by wolves so the other mobs will not aggro. There is a wandering archilles who may wander to this spot so be very careful... this is the hardest piece to get. YOu also will need amiable faction with the temple of ro in lavastorm to finish this quest.

The glowing mask is a quest piece needed for a very nice enchanter mask with ac3 int+5 charisma+7.

hope this helps someone out there.

do u lose faction from the frogloks by killing the skeletal monk?

You need this for the enchanter Incandescent Mask quest. And if the info above is right, the Acumen (wizard) mask also.

Its AC2 but other than that Who needs it?
