Current location -1500, -3200. Apparently he spawns in different locations. Just found him at -1618, -2862. Just handed the lower version of this guy my "Charred Scale". Off to PoA!
My druid tracked Kaiaren to inside a pillar at entrance to ruins. Couldn't target him. Used AE spell to agro him and he summoned druid inside the pillar. Monk assisted druid; druid evacced; monk was summoned and feigned; lost agro and did turn-in. Then we killed him and hopefully he'll respawn in a btter spot.
Found him in the general vicinity of -16xx, -30xx. When I did find him, he was finishing off a Spectre, which may account for the reason he seems to move around.
Found Him at -1624 -3419, within the buildings. I had the charred scale with me, and was able to turn it in to the "insane" Kaiaren to continue the quest. Hope this helps...
Just to clear up the initial 'book' encounter for monk 1.0 which I did last night:
Find Human Monk NPC Kaiaren in Trakanon's Teeth. First (insane) version hangs out in the Old Sebilis Ruins close to the location listed but he can wander and be stationary nearby.
You can hail and say 'Celestial Fists' and he gets weird and starts screaming. When you hand him the first book he hands THE SAME BOOK back to you and starts attacking. I killed him and he gave me the line about finding his true self.
You find his true self in a hut by the lake at the location listed. You hand him the first book and he hands you the second version of the book (the one you turn in with the Demon Fangs) and you can proceed with the dialog. He then tells you to go challenge Eejag.
The write-up on the quest page seemed confusing on this part.
Exact spawn point (crazy version) is in front of the ruins, dead center of the 1st pillars there. Used highsun w/bard to be certain. He roams the area a bit after spawning. Easiest to bring a tracker if having problems finding him.
edit- "sane version" exact spawn is in building S.West of lake at +293, +2450. oddly, upon turning in the original Celestial Fists book, Kaiaren repopped, so 2x Kaiaren stood standing at the spawn point near the lake :)
edit #2- both spawns of Kaiaren despawned no more than an hour or two after they popped. Kept a 2nd toon at spawn site to watch them while doing the fight portions of quest.
I was in Trak's teeth finishing epic (I got it ^_^) and I was angry that Crazy Kaiaren was glitched. When I gave him the book he didn't give me back a new book, just the same book. Well what actually happens is you get the same book back and you needto KILL Kaiaren. When he is dead a higher lvl Kaiaren will spawn around the lake in zone, run to him and give him your book, he'll give it back with a slightly different name. Hand the book he gave you back + Demons fangs to get your epic.
*******NOTE******* IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE DEMONS FANGS ON YOU AT THIS TIME DO NOT HAND THE BOOK HE GIVES BACK TO YOU BACK TO HIM AS HE WILL BE EXPECTING TO RECIEVE YOUR DEMONS FANGS AS WELL AND YOU'LL BE SOL
You don't need to kill him. I've done the monk epic twice now (don't ask) and both time I just FDed off the Crazy Kaiaren. The sane one pops the second you hand the crazy one the book.
Insane (first) one conned Dark Blue to 59 monk - killed him and ran directly to hut - got there in time to Con the true form of Kaiaren as red. Opened my bags to give him item and he despawned. Was up for less then 2 minutes. Now neither on track.
Kicked his **** today, light Blue to my 55 shammy. He has a ton of HP's but can be slowed easily. No resists. Dropped nothing and no Faction Loss, On Brell. He says something like OK very good now find my other.
cos when you hail him he sounds like a scaredy cat wuss (saying something like 'aargh nooo, get it away from me'), so tried talking to him, he wouldn't resppond so I killed him to see what would happen. he died, no loot but did some riddle about respawning. made me wanna kill him again, but our tracker already zoned :(
His faction is Truespirit? Does killing him lowe Truespirit? If it does all the shaman who cant complete epic due to too much faction are jumping for joy!
ouch you can get too much to do teardrop? that kinda bites seeing as how I had to do first part 5 times cuz i kept meeting sharks after going under and messed up on wandering spirit handoff first time and got gem but not sheild and had to redo please tell me it isnt so that im screwed lol I'm at the point of needing Iksar tear and its taking while to get to fear hopefully not wasted cuz too much faction that would be incredibly stupid as im sure im not only one to meet sharks and have to redo. Someone please post accurate info on this if you know with certainty i knew you could be not enough too high is ridiculous.
