Me, a 51 wiz, a 52 pally, and 52 monk killed this guy last night. He dropped the orb and the skull. I'm not going to bore on about how easy he is cause I hate those posts when ppl say so and so mob was cake to an obviously superior group. Anyone know whats the skull is for?

I've killed this guy a couple hundred times; Always drops shissar reverent skull, which I have no clue what it's for. Next most common drop would be the Orb of Echo Ore (newbie range item), which sells in the store for something like 15p (if I remember correctly), next rare item would be the polished serpent sclae, which I'd estimate he has about 30% of the time (about 17p in the store), about 10% of the time he has the whip, which sells for 50p+ in the store, and rarer yet are the shissar organs needed for the katta quest. I've gotten 5 of them in 7 levels of AA, almost exclusively faught there.

myself and friends have killed this mob maybe 50 times so far. his drops have been only the orbof echo, polished serpent scales,cracked revenent skull and whip.

but, if you stay in the room Xilov spawns. Talk about a nasty mob. He spawned we attacked 2 50+ and 2 45+ wiped out in about 30 sec. He is a very high mob that is has enchanter spells and mor i would say. Funny thing is he cons blue to most. But i think he is about a lvl 60 mob at least
Organs

i just killed him and he droped Shissar Organs
RE: Organs

got em as well anyone know what they are for? they are not undead just shissar organs
RE: Organs
# May 18 2002 at 6:46 AM Rating: Decent
Shissar Organs are used for a quest in Katta Kastellum for the enduring breath neck piece. I know it calls for you to kill undead shissar but any old shissar will do.

Well, the Taskmaster is Undead.
For proof, I made and applied an Undead only poison and it was quite effective on my opening stike - 250DD =~)

Still more proof I can offer is the pally I was grouped with used his Undead discipline (don't know the name) but he was able to crit like mad against this guy.

Hope this is helpful to all you clerics, pallys, and necros with your undead attacks.

#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 15 2002 at 1:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) He drops orb of echo ore, and the shisshar mask as common drops, almost ALWAYS drops both at the tsame time, everytime. He sometimes drops the whip as his rare drop. HE does NOT drop the organs. The organs drop off the shisshar stalkers in the grey. Alot of people think just cuz he is the same race he will drop them too. This is simply NOT the case. We have been camping this guy for a litle over a week now, killed him too many times to count, and he has NEVER dropped any organs. If he dropped the robe that the necro said he dropped, it's cuz somebody gave it to him.

Whoops!! just realized that I have already posted under this thread before.... My mistake for doubling up =~)
I'll leave this here as informational, but you can disregard the duplicate posts... happened to be revisiting the page and, well, you can guess the rest


Due to the fact that you have never seen something drop does not mean that he doesn't ever drop them. I, too, have camped this guy a number of times and have seen the organs drop at least twice.

So to conclude, YES he has a chance of dropping the organs. At least he did when I was killing him. I cannot confirm that they still drop off him, as Verant may have "fixed" his drop tables to exclude them now.

I'm planning to camp him this weekend with my necro, so I'll try to remember to post again if they still drop.

Wish me luck.....

Yup I was in a group yesterday hunting in Echo. We killed the taskmaster 5 times and he does indeed drop the organs, we got the organs 1 time. Fireclaw dropped the claw too :-)

Sorry mate but you are wrong - Killed him yesterday and he dropped the Shissar Organs. So I guess he does now drop them.

I can confirm that as well... my group has killed him at least 10 times and he dropped the organs twice, I believe. Ranger friend needed them for something so we were camping him. That Xil(whatever) spawned a few times.. doesn't take long to despawn. We tried taking him on but 3 out of 5 in group died pretty quick. He charms a couple at a time and can double attk in the 200s. Nasty guy!

This guys conned blue to a 60 shaman and a 56 mage. So think the lvl for him is bit wrong.
He drops fairly nice range item. The Cracked Shissar Reverant Skull and Shissar organs that are no drops, which I came here hoping to find what they are for and the whip which seems to be his rarer drop.

I dont know what the skulls are for, but the organs are for a EB necklace. Gather three organs and bring them to katta, there is a guy in the castle on the first floor who is doing research on shissar. for 3 shissar organs you get the Eb neck.

Doesn't resist much
# Jan 11 2002 at 9:26 AM Rating: Excellent
He seems to have lower resistance to spells than I would have expected, and a Monk using Instill Doubt was generally able to get him running scared several times a fight. Beware however that if you fear him out of his room and FD or zone, he will poof (he only seems to crawl back if you're fairly close to his spawn point). The holds true for the undead slaves around him, and possibly for Xilniov too.

He drops a the cracked shissar revenent skull every time, a Shissar Organ perhaps 1 time in 15, a polished serpent scale maybe 1 in 5, the orb of echo ore 9 out of 10, the whip about 1 in 9.

His respawn time is just under 30 minutes.

Killing him worsens your faction with Deepshade Collective, whatever that is.

Because he CAN be soloed, quite a few melee types were camping him on Antonius Bayle when the quest for the Enduring Breath necklace was discovered. The spawn time was apparently increased from about every 10 minutes a couple of weeks ago.

He Is Not a Chump

Mebe for three characters over 40.. two over 45 he is a chump... lets get back to its con though.. it cons around 38-41.. this guy is not a chump for the con .. he is an undercon.. be wary.

# Jan 11 2002 at 5:07 AM Rating: Default
This guy can hit for 100+ and is undead. As a 45 Pally all my undead spells worked including IoN.
He drops the Orb of echo ore, the fiber and a mask which I have yet to find out what is for. The mask is no drop but not lore, I hava been told that he drops an "organ" but I have never seen this drop of him and I have killed him a few times.

I just thought you guys might want to know that he is undead, but doesn't see through regular invis. A friend and I ran through invis just fine, and came back later with a group to take him down, and my undead only proc from my wep went off a few times while fighting him.

Myself a 56 Warrior, a 57 Rogue, and a 55 Druid came upon this fellow during the first week of Luclin. We cleared the lesser stuff in the midst of which he attacked and we killed the Taskmaster. We finished cleaning up the other mobs after taking him out. While we waited for him to respawn, a different mob popped. His name started with an "X". He was humanoid and green, he had tenticles on his head. He gave this big long speech about how he brainwashed his slaves into working for him even after he was dead. Then he said "I tire of this game" and the battle began. He had a rune and DS on himself. I engaged him along with the rogue. By the time we got through his Rune he had charmed me. At that point I killed the rogue and the druid fled. I tried to stay and fight this dude afterwards but he had a TON of HP. Even though he conned blue to me. The DS was killing me so I zoned with 40hp. He was down maybe 1/5 of a bub.

I'm not sure why he spawned for us, but others seem to camp the taskmaster safely. Level based trigger on the spawn perhaps?

He has a random chance of spawning if you clear the undead room.

He also drops a Cracked Shissar (sp?) skull magic nodrop. Possibly part of a quest.

# Dec 27 2001 at 8:05 PM Rating: Decent
This guy hits hard, took alot of damage over 80pts and some as high as 110. He just melees, no casting. We killed him 4 times in one afternoon so his respawn time is often. I'd say about 30 - 40 minutes. The loot was the same all 4 times being the No Drop skull and the lore orb which has 20hp and 20mana, all all for the range slot. My group was a 41 pally, a 54 monk, and a 40 druid.

I picked up the skull too. Myself, a 54 Monk and a 40 Druid killed the guy 4 times and he had the skull every time. The X guy never popped for us so maybe it is a level based thing. There are no stats and it's No Drop. If anyone sees the NPC talking of this skull, please post. Its a Cracked Shissar Revenant Skull.

There are about 10 or so undead slaves around this guy that tend to aggro when you pull him even though they con apprehensive. We took him down earlier today with a group of 44 chanter, 44 warrior, 49 druid, 45 shammie, and a 40 ranger. Was pretty easy after the skellies where mezzed. He droped A crystal range slot thingy, and a no drop cracked shissar mask.

Not sure if this was changed, but none of the skeletons aggro'd me fighting either the Taskmaster or other skeletons. Conned apprehensive/light blue to 55 Erudite wizard.
RE: Aggro like mad!
# Dec 31 2001 at 4:28 AM Rating: Decent
Since these guys and the Iksar are ancient enemies, it would stand to reason his undead slaves are Iksar skellies.
