Ok this method has worked over 12 times for me and friends, i can therefore guarantee it will work for you.
NOTE : You do NOT need track to do this.
The small path that separates the valley with the hill giant hill in it from the valley to the south, sit in the middle, and face north. Every about 15 minutes, either Hasten or one of his PH's will run literally right at you. ANY mob that passes down this way is a PH for hasten, so dont be shy, kill it. You will be able to see hasten from a long way off as he comes towards you. As soon as you see him, hit "H" to hail him over and over until he stops.
Hope this works for you as it has for me.

Hasten Bootstrutter
Quest NPC
Uploaded July 24th, 2007
In the Formal Dining Hall: Part of the anniversary task "Lucky 13" (see this quest entry for details).
In the Tower of Frozen Shadow: Part of the third encounter within the Tower of Frozen Shadow anniversary raid (see this quest entry for raid information).
In the Mountains of Rathe: Hasten is the bearer of a lovely set of boots which he stole from Drelzna in Najena. In return for 3,250 gold (or 325 platinum), the ring of the ancients from the Ancient Cyclops and a shadowed rapier from the Shadowmen, he will give you the Journeyman's Boots.
The boots cast a spell which gives you a movement boost.
Hasten can initially be found in the hill giant area of the Rathe Mountains, although he tends to wander quickly throughout the area.
It is possible for Hasten to become stuck beneath a rock near the Hill Giant area of the mountains. When he is under the rock, you can hear him moving, but cannot target him or talk to him.
As a side note, level 36 enchanters should NOT use their AE Stuns to get him from under the rock and expect to live to make it to the zone. ;0

Let me be a little more specific, and this may be helpful if you, like me, suck at LOCs.
I think InvaderZim is talking about the entrance to the SPHINX valley. I stood at the most north part of the entrace to the SPHINX valley and Hasten ran past there twice. I finally caught up to him.
Myself, I don't trust the platinum is just as good as gold deal. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. But, I got gold, and I got a high level druid SOW and STR buff. So, that way I wasn't slowed down by the gold.
Now when I caught him, after a hundred hails, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say anything special, so eventually I just gave him the first item - the Shadowed Rapier. To which he said he wouldn't trade, blah blah blah.. he wanted the Shadowed Rapier, the Ring of the Ancients, and the 3250 Gold pieces. ... I was scared at first, but he didnt give me back the Shadowed Rapier, so I said ***** it.. I gave him the second item, the Ring of the Ancients... to which he again said he wouldnt trade, and he wanted ....you know.
So I held my breath and gave him exactly 3250 Gold.
Duh da duh duuuuhh! Got my boots..... Unlike what some of the posts people made, he NEVER really ASKS for anything. I just gave them to him one by one.
Remember, if you are taking a little while digging your items out of your bags, or checking your notes...hail him a couple more times, just to keep him from running away. He likes to do that.
Someone was also right about watching mobs come through that Entrance to the Sphinx vally. A black Drake came through, and I soloed it with my 27 rogue (With Temp or Vir buff.. whichever) and in just a few seconds, some of the druids and rangers in the area started yelling Hasten is up!
I highly suggest you OOC the zone and ask for a bit of help from the local Druids and Rangers. They can tell you if he is up, and sometimes where he is. Normally they will notice him running around south of Hill Giant Hill, in Hill Giant Valley, which is just left of the entrance to Sphinx Valley.
Good Luck, hope this helps.

I have been trying to get these boots and i camped the Hasten guy on my druid and then when he spawns my friend brings my enchanter to rathe to MQ it and when we get 20 feet away from him he despawns.... ^_^

OK this morning (Apr 2003) I was looknig for Hasten but Brother Zephyl was up and ppl were saying Hasten wouldn't show up. After reading the opst below, about the positioning about Hasten, I went to that location. Well its very close but a little bit off.
Go a little south of where the Hill Giants are to a little passage to the next valley. Stand right at -863, +477 and face straight north. You wont need sow or and str tiems cuz he will pass rigt beside you. You will see him coming along the path towards you that the basilisks and 'a drake' take. You have to be quite close to him or else your hails wont work -thats why I say to stand exactly there. Also, ENSURe you have a hail hot button set -this will ensure you can stop Hasten quick and not even have to move, just target him and keep pressing HAIL.
Also, if your friend and you are doing it together, or you want to hold Hasten, you can by just pressing HAIL every 5 seconds or so. I had to hold him for 45 mins till my friend with the AC ring got there. No probs as long as you keep hailing him, but you'll have to fight the odd giant skeleton that paths right by you there.

Have to add in the praise. The location is perfect for the pathing of Hasten and PH's. Note: He will run into this location and do a loop and run back out again through same narrow path. If u miss him coming in, have patience, and bang that hail button again on his way out. Also, he sometimes despawns after this first run, so keep him targeted, if he doesn't despawn he will once more do this pathing again until despawning. Finally, yes, he shows up eventually so if u gotta wait, whatever, reward is nice for us the walking impaired.

This location worked great for me. Hasten spawned after killing about 6 drakes and unkempt dude once. Then some punk sob killed Hasten while I chased him around trying to hail him. So make sure you are right fekkin next to him and not invis when you hail him or you will probably have to go to the trouble to respawn him because fools (and monks) love to kill this guy. Zephyl spawned for me after Hasten was killed so I said *** it.

has anyone noticed brother zephyl is up a ridiculous percentage of the time now? it seems like he used to be the rare of the PHs but lately it's been hasten never showing up. they should make bro z the rare. at least hasten is killable.

Enter RM and the to the narrows separating the sphinx area from the rest of the zone. Park yourself to location -850, +520, and stare north. After a while (latest 15-20 mins) Hasten or one of his PHs (Brother Zephyl, "a drake" or the unkempt) will pass you running on the way to the sphinx area (and soon back). If it's the drake or unkempt, kill it. Look to north again. In excatly 10 mins a new one is popped in this cycle just north of the loc, and the pathing takes them first running right into you. If Brother spawns, take a break and wait until he despawns - I personally got Hasten after killing 4 drakes, and I love my boots! Thanks for Mizzery (Sisters of Myth) and Opa the Iksar disciple for the info :)

stood at this spot all of 30 seconds and then went running south shouting hail at a really fast gnome. got 'em!
you can also catch him easily at -410, 1400 or so. face west. he runs by on his way east.
Worked perfect for me, 1 drake, 10 minutes later, jboots.

Great advice, THANKS!
Did exactly above...2 drakes and 2 basilics (not sure if they where PH) Got Hasten in 20 min.

I got the AC ring of 'an ancient cyclops' in Sro yesterday. Easy kill. Fear kited as a necro and he dropped fast and I got the ring.
Went today to kill Shadowed Men for the rapier and then scurried off to turn in the stuff for J-boots.
Of course, no Hasten Bootstrutter is up when you need him to be. Killed the 'a drake' 2 times, then heard a druid ooc the drake was up again, but someone must have killed it. Then Meldyn the unkempt spawned. Killed his ranja butt too, only to have the one spawn I didnt want to pop, namely Brother Zephyl.
Spawn cycle is stuck on Zephyl now since a 40 Necromancer comes to short while figthing a sow'd mob with quad attacks and summon. Not to mention being 21 levels higher.
Question is though...
Does Brother Zephyl have a despawn timer? And if so, how long is the timer?
Worst case, I'm stuck here having to watch the naked, ugly, stinky, human monk run back and forth as he sees fit until some monk finally gets Raster and can come quest so he poofs (hopefully) Not even sure he poofs after a monk does the quest turn-ins.
Bottom line, I want jboots and i hate Zephyl.

Well, not sure if he despawned because of what we did, but tonite, I went to MQ the boots for my baby necro and Brother Z was up. /sigh. So, I log on my cleric and the necro that was going to MQ the ring for me (61) fought brother Z and got him to 40% life before we were both OOM and zoned. By the time we came back and medded up to try again, Brother Z was no where to be found. He did follow us to the zone (summoning us back the entire way =P ) and that may have had something to do with it, or just aggroing him may have. I don't know for sure why he despawned, but he did.

What exactly are Hasten's Place holders, where do they spawn, and do they run around or stay in the same place?
40 posts
Here's what I found out so far.
Spawncycle
- a drake
- Brother Zephyl
- Maldyn the unkempt
- Hasten Bootstrutter
At least thats the PH's I been killing to make Hasten Bootstrutter spawn.
They do not spawn in that order though, just listed which mobs are on the spawncycle
The pathing
As for their pathing... I found that they tend to run from the xroad near Ferrott zone, then run down the valley towards the bugs and the pillar. Just before they get there, they break left, heading into the HG valley. There they run up past the lizardman camp, then break right and head up towards the hill.
Not sure of their pathing around the hill, but the do run back down, then run down the 2nd exit from the HG valley which leads to the broken druid rings with the undeads in.
They run past that, then back out towards the xroad at the Ferrott zone. I saw Hasten, Brother Z and the drake follow this path. Meldyn however, ran the opposite way and ran towards the undead camp first.

Does anyone know if the note dropped off Rathyl in Najena from Hasten Bootstrutter trigger hasten to spawn in RM? It says something about it in the Journeymans Boots quest page. =)

As far as i know the only way to get bro-z to despawn is to kill him. So thats what we did. 18 peeps took him down fairly easily with just 1 high level cleric and a 60 warrior MA. However immediatly after that guess who spawned... bro z again so i dont particularly recommend this way of getting to hasten
The AC does spawn in OoT. I camped him on and off for 3 days. Two days he only spawned once and others got the ring, the 3rd day he spawned 3 times in less than 3 hours, and I got my ring )

Did VI change the quest? (or at least the MQable part of it?)
I was helping someone with an MQ and Hasten ate the ring.
I got some language from Hasten saying something like: "No Trade for you until I have the ring, rapier and gold in my hand"
I have helped MQ the ring before and never had this happen. Also my faction is warmly.

He does say that exact text when you hand him the ring. Because you didn't give him all of them...When the 2nd person gives him the gold and the rapier, that person will get the boots, trust me.

Yes, just used platinum for my first pair of these boots on my alt wizard tonight. Hasten doesn't care to be encumbered any more than you do.

No, you must use gold or it will not register as having completed that portion of the quest.
false. i've used PP plenty of times
Good do it again sio someone else will lose their plat like I did yesterday. They must have changed it because plat does not work!!!
1 post
Maybe you are just throwing your plat on the ground because I did this 10 minutes ago and he took 325pp and gave me the books. So they must not have changed it because plat does work!!!
People why take the chance just bring the 3250 in gold and NOT to worry,....just get a storm strength cast on you..and do the quest the way Bootstrutter ask.

Went there today with buddy (59 warrior) AC popped within 20mins. Got ring currently sitting in RM waiting for the loser gnome to spawn. I swear everytime I've been here he's been up but the ONE time I really need him he's not up. current time count is 6 hours 42mins. Still waiting. O wonderful Bro Z just spawned again. *sigh*

Aye, to follow up with the last post, i have also waited for Brother Zephyl to despawn but he just never would. I spent about 9 hours as well, started from around 4 pm till 1am. *sigh* gonna spend the whole day tomorrow as well trying to get this uber item

I don't know what u ppl are talking about... I sat in Rm with about 3 trackers wandering around by feerrott zone and hg part...we waited for 9 hrs for Brother Z to de spawn and he never did. So in other words this sux
I was wondering if we need good faction with him to get the jboots? He's con dubiously to my dark elf. Also, after hailing him do we have to ask him anything to give out the info on what we need for the boots? Or just give him the ring, gold, and scythe and he'll give you the jboots? Thanks.

Hey, can you do it if he scowles at you ready to attack? lol hopefully yes...

Finished the quest this morning and no u can just give him the stuff without talking to him. I gave him rapier first, ring second, and money last and yes it must be gold pieces only no pp. Hardest part is finding his little short butt in a big zone.

Ok I have an iksar monk who wants these suckers rly bad (when of course I get the lvl to do so) but hmmm, I'm wondering do I have to automatically do some faction reparis with beta Neutral? Or am i fine at the moment with no Faction hits that worsen or better, is being an Iksar automatically make me unliked enough to do quest?
Beta Nuetral is just what it says, Nuetral. You should not be KOS to them unless you've killed some of their members.

On most servers J-boots are no drop, but on Firiona Vie they're not. You don't have to MQ here, just buy them on the market for 3K or so. My buddy has these and he regularly passes them around to his friends to rebuff our speed every 18 minutes or so.
Nope. They're multi-questable, but that's as close as it gets.
