Balix Misteyes is at /loc 2917, 3218, 215.29.
You say, 'Hail, Balix Misteyes' Balix Misteyes says 'Outlander, hail. Share the fire. I have little but if you are in need then take what I have. If you need nothing then take nothing. Balix my name is. Shaman to the tribe of Snowfangs.' You say, 'What Shaman?' Balix Misteyes says 'Yes. Shaman. I listen to the land to tell my tribe what the winds and waters will bring. Good or bad. Little good and much bad these days. That is why I sit here listening.' You say, 'Listening to what?' Balix Misteyes says 'I am on spirit quest. No food do I take. All day I listen only. I wait until the land tells me how to help my tribe. Maybe nothing will happen but I cannot fail to try. Hard is this. Many dangerous creatures are near but none come close so far.' You say, 'What dangerous creatures?' Balix Misteyes growls under his breath. 'Most dangerous is the Garou. Evil spirit of the land. It was made from long dead wolf spirits when the tower spread its dark magics through the islands. It preys on the Snowfang. We have tried to hunt it but always it is too strong.' You say, 'I will hunt it for you.' Balix Misteyes says 'If you want to try, you can hunt Garou. If you kill, spread its soul to the air for cleansing, then all is good. Its skin is powerful from the magics that made it. With a cougar's bone, fresh with the spirit of earth, I can make you powerful talisman in thanks for your service to Snowfangs.' The cougar bone is called Bloody Cougar Bone and drops off a named cougar named Midnight. Midnight is black rather than the white of normal snow cougars and is a pretty common spawn around the Tower of Frozen Shadow. Skin of the Garou can be found on a named spawn named Garou, who appears to be some sort of gnoll effected by lycanthropy. After handing Balix Misteyes the Skin of the Garou and Bloody Cougar Bone: Balix Misteyes pulls its lips back as it scratches and cuts the skin, working it around the bloody puma bone. 'Good for hitting or for talisman. Powerful thing to hold. All Snowfang thank you. Now, all of us are safer.' You receive Garou Bone Club. There are no faction adjustments for turning in this quest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Just wanted to add a Datapoint for Garou here. My 40th druid friend, a 37th warrior and a 26th bard (for mana) died twice to Garou before I arrived to help. He was yellow to me(a 36th druid). Once I got there, The 40th druid pulled Garou, the warrior tanked him. Not sure what the druid did to Garou during the fight, as I was medding and watching HP as healer. whne I got down to 20m, they told me Garou was almost dead and to nuke. I switched to garou and nuked twice and he fell. He dropped the SHM spell and the fang, no skin (doh!).
I got midnight just the other day. Even to a 33 Druid. He IS NOT just a black cougar anymore. He is FAST. if not snared he can catch up with SoW easy. I think wolf form can stay ahead of him. He also hits for about 10 more points than the other cougars. BUT the biggiest differance is he has almost 4x the HP as a normal cougar. I'm a wood elf, so I have a Warden of Tunare necklace. I snared him, rooted, DoT, DoTx2, Root,Root,Root,Root,Root; repeat as necesary. I had to use 3 times my normal DoT's for the cougars AND he took the damage from my constant rooting. He has a lot of HP. Not that that is a big problem, just a head up. If you can solo a normal Cougar with a bub and a half of mana, have at lease 3 1/2 bubs before you think about attacking him. Because he will not stay rooted long, and if you have to med, he might outlast the snare. It took me 2 tries bacause I made the decision/mistake of healing my guildmate. I didn't want to go back to FP to get him. But I used up the last of my mana, sat down to med and then later, his snare broke and he was hitting me too hard and too fast to get gate off.
And I haven't even SEEN Garou on tracking and I got lvls 29-32 killing cougars. Good Luck!

I was in Iceclad and i killed midnight easily and got the stupid bone! then when i was near the TOFS garou poped. Being the stupid and daring druid i was i had to try and kill him. He was pretty tuff prolly cause he is underconned and he resisted most my dots but i kept kiting and medding. I ran into 5 cougars but still i survived. I snared em all with 1 bubble of hp left and 1m left garou almost dead and 5 full HP cougars trailing i had to make my desicion. I was bound in overthere. I gave garou one more nuke he had no hp left on the bar but he was still up i was prolly 2 or 3hp off from killing him. Of course he gated and i lost him with OOM and was killed when cougars caught up. Took me forever to get corpse back cause i have a 56k motem and VELIOUS TAKES FOREVER WITH LAG! 36 druid of druzzil ro DOGFULL

Hello all. Think I have located spawn point and place holder for garou.
Hunting in IC basicly buffing a small group hunting cougars near gnoll shaman waiting untill Garou finally spawned (6 hours) rooted and dotted him then chased him down when he gated (still Rooted) found him at loc pos 2773, pos 2822. amazing loot btw. Anyway was watching the spot for the next three hours and a wandering cougar spawns there. Hopefully, this is the correct placeholder but am going to camp it on and off untill I can confirm this

I understand that Garou is on the same spawn cycle as Stormfeather and Lodizal. Basically, its an 18 hour cycle, that can get skipped.

Hey did you ever find the PC or how to spawn please let us know thxs

I have had the bloody cougar bone forever and didnt ever think i would get to use it but last night i was walkin near ToFS and damn if the Garou wasnt on track so my friend and i smacked him around a bit and i looted him and he was carrying the skin!!! Only prob is now is finding a buyer. Seems the club has been out of game so long it has been forgotten. :(

I started this thread but didnt know how to edit the original. Im on the Luclin server and since my last post I have sucessfully killed the Garou again and gotten his skin. Today acctually so 1 Club a month aint to bad. I never "camp" him I just check track when I tp to Iceclad. He also droped a 39 Druid spell Ros Firey Sundary.

I am on Lucin server. From what i have gathered he drops the skin so rarely its often thought to be a broken quest

Don't know which server you are on, but on Innoruk it is still nerffed.

In order for Garou to spawn, you must kill his PH's (dire wolves) on the 3rd island
Anonymous
Garou is a RANDOM spawn on the ToFS island around the tower and Balix (somewhere inbetween i think)
there are 2 "versions" of him - there is a high lvl version and a lower lvl version the lower 1 is about 36 37 38 around there, the high version (about 42 43) isnt much higher but is still harder. once u get the skin off the HIGHER version the quest is a sinch. Just kill midnight who is a lvl 35 black cougar who romes about nere the igloos as thats where i have seen him/her. just kill her and get the bloody cougar bone sh drops just give the 2 items to Balix Mistyeyes to recieve your reward.

We were killing snow coguars for an hour or a bit more when Garou spawned. We managed to kill him, but he almost gated at the end, so you must be careful. Looks the PHs were snow coguars, since we were killing nothing more and nobody else was around.
He did drop the fang but not the quest skin (cap). After killing him Midnight poped near by and we killed him also. He dropped the bone for the quest and a medium q. skin.

Ok.. he only spawns at night, he is infected with lycanthrapy. When u are at Balix's Tent.. face down the hill .. he spawns down and off to the left in the trees.. does a little run loop in there till pulled.
NOW I have the skin and bone.. anyone know at what faction it is safe to turn them in. Meanwhile back to the Ulthorks any way

i have killed all the mobs near the frozen tower and cost and anywhere else near it...ive seen the midnight show once and i was there for maybe 3 hours...the goaru did not show even with me killing wolfs...personly i think that there is no trigger spawn and its a timed one
Goodluck

I was quadding cougars around Balix and the shout went out that Midnight had spawned. I thought no biggie, i have the bone. About an hour later i was medding next to Balix and about 50 yards away Garou spawned in the trees on Balix's left and a little bit in front of him. I was at 20 mana with all my buffs fading so i buff up and get about 20 mana and tagged him. A 56 druid friend wandered by and we hosed him good. He dropped Garou's Fang and a medium quality dire wolf skin and meat. Not the quest piece. He is VERY fast. So unless you have snare, and sow, i wouldnt get too close to him, he will run ya down pretty quick. But, shaman mobs are the easiest mobs in the game to kill, so he wasnt much trouble.

I was just reading these posts and wondering about the trigger to spawn Garou. And it dawned on me that he is a gnoll infected with lycanthropy (werewolf), so of course it would make sense that he spawns at sunset when his lycanthropy takes affect. Maybe not but thats what makes sense to me.
So there I was quad kiting cougars around ToFS when Garou pops. I was at FM, and he con'd yellow to me (Im 37).
I immediately tried to get some guildies to help, but they were all occupied. Next I asked a couple of people in zone (through tells if they would help).
Then a 35 druid shows up and we agree to group and roll on the drops. We also did a shout for help as I've heard he can be tough.
We ended up taking him down (had him done to about 25 percent health and we were both at 40m when a 50+ player showed up to help us).
He dropped both skin and druid 39 spell Ro....
We seeded and I ended up winning both drops. Felt sorta bad, but we agreed before hand on the loot distribution.
Gonna go get my club now.

A piece of info for all you druids. The spell you all have ben looking for Garou to drop now drops in the Tower of Frozen Shadow. Went up there on a guild raid sunday May 13th and we got 4 drops of that spell. We were on the 6th floor killing specters and killing bats and such near wear the djiin spawns. I do not remember getting one on the 7th floor but it is possible the other group got one. We did not kill anything on the floors on the way up because they were camped so I do not know if it drops below the 6th floor. I do hope this helps some of you druids out there I do know it made the druids in my guild very happy.

I was lucky enough to see garou yesterday, I was medding up to attack him(he was blue at 40) when about 22 servers crashed. I was, of course, pissed. But when I got back into the game there was no one else in IC and garou was still up, by the time I had buffed myself up a cleric and monk had gotten back into the game and the cleric helped me kill him(monk went LD). He dropped a Wolves eye necklace 1ac 4dex 4agi 4sv cold 4sta or something like that, but it wasn't all all so it wasn't PC made. Also dropped the rogue/war off hand piercer. I thought he dropped the skin everytime? Oh well, anyways the important thing here is Midnight was up when he spawned, so Midnight is for sure not a PH as commonly believed. I think he is just a random spawn

WHAT DOES THE SPELL EFFECT DO?

Killed Garou, was fairly easy for 52 Druid =) He spawned close to gnoll shaman behind Tower of Frozen Shadow, Balix Misteyes i think, same guy who gives quest. Was totally random spawn. I was fighting cougars with another character and suddenly, pop, there is Garou. So I dont know of any triggers or how to get him to spawn. Seems random to me. Garou Bone Club is nice though.
Good Luck all!
Good Luck all!
