At 49 you are too high to to aggro the the rest of the camp. I can do the same thing in Crushbone. I can kill the Emperor all day long and the only thing the rest of the orcs do is heal him. I was doing that at 25. I am guessing that once you are 12 or 13 lvls above teh mobs they will not bother you unless you attack them directly.

One interesting thing to note is that you can zap DE's in the camp without pulling all of them.. I've killed a bunch for fun while being angry cause I missed the courier.. Then again, I don't know if levels come into play as to whether or not they will aggro on you, since I'm 49.

Here is the most up-to-date and accurate information I have. I am level 35, cleric, on Rodcet Nife. I have been in Lesser Fay this entire past long weekend... anyway, on to the info.

All weekend, I only had the necro spawn twice. The placeholder for him spawns on the lower step of the undead obelisk(approx. 0, pos 2200) and takes about 15 minutes, real life time, to respawn... this means that the in-game time goes forward about 4-5 hours between the spawns. I found that killing the placeholder(usually a skeleton) at around 8pm game time would have another pop around midnight, and that was usually the necro. When the pop was at different times, say, 2am, it was always a skeleton. Luck? Chance? Maybe, not sure. Also, only once during the weekend I had the Ghoul Boss spawn. He was NOT on the upper step of the obelisk, he was on the hill right in front of the obelisk. High blue to me, 35 cleric. Fear kited him and had no problems.

The first time I killed the necro, I gated to Steamfont and waited there for two full minutes for the courier. I was standing around the gnomes but no courier ever showed up. I eventually found him safe and sound in the Tier`Dal camp :(

The second time I killed the necro, I immediately ran to the Tier`Dal camp and waited on the hill just to the east of the camp. I was standing at approximate loc of neg 780, pos 980, facing east. After about 30 seconds, the courier came running straight towards me, from the east. Rooted, and blasted twice for 265 each. He was still alive after that so I had to melee him for a few hits before he went down.

The ghasts are the longest part of the whole quests. I've killed about 13 and have only 2 hearts. What I usually do is camp for the necro, and kill the surrounding static undead. After the four static undead around the obelisk are dead, I cast Sense Dead. For the next 15 minutes or so, I hunt the sensed dead and eventually will get one or two ghasts per hour or so. They seem to spawn at different times, but mostly during the night. You will find an odd one at 5pm or so sometimes.

The Warden part of the quest has great information posted already, so no need for me to say anything about that part.

It took me three tries to get the courier, which means I killed the necromancer 3 times. But learned quite a bit. First, the neco spawns at the front of the obelisk, at a cycle about twice as long as the other mobs. (You have to watch out for another mob, the Ghoul Boss - this guy is higher level and can give you a serious problem. He can pop in any of the spawn sites.) For me the necro always spawned early in the evening, around 7-11pm. First time I killed the necro, I ran to the Tier'dal camp, and the courier never showed at all on tracking. The second time, the courier apparently either beat me to the camp or spawned inside one of the tents (talk about bad luck). The 3rd time I intercepted him coming from the west before he got to the camp. In all cases, I harmonied all of the dark elves in the camp, just to reduce their chance for aggro.

All in all, I rate this part of the quest high, because you have to plan how you're going to actually catch the courier, and he is running at almost sow speed toward the camp.

I found that if you are a cleric with no track that it is easiest to Bind somewhat close to the Tier Dal camp slightly towards the Steamfont side and Gate there directly after you kill the Necro and the Courier will soon come running towards you. Keep yer eyes peeled. Root and shoot. He dropped pretty quick and i managed to kill the necro and the courier with a little less than half mana. Good hunting.

I was wondering, I spent 5 hours camping Larik with no luck, what needs to be done to make him spawn? Is there any trigger, and what is his spawn time? please tell me, It looks like a nice item,but not worth the kind of trouble I went through for it today.

Dear Friends/
I do believe I have solved the mystery about where the Dark Elf Courier spawns before he arrives at the con red camp of dark elfs. Let me tell you the story of what happened to me when I was camping the Nerco spawn named Larik Z Vole at the Haunted Obliesk.

I camped there for about a couple of hours, sometimes it takes more or less time for him to pop, you never know, but finally he did and I killed him with not much mana left. I'm a 26 druid by the way. Okay, then once I killed him I get his head of course, and go to the camp right???? Wrong. You run to the Steamfont Mountains zone or gate there(if bind at location 1670 neg 1945). This is where he will pop and run to the camp. YOU MUST catch him before he gets to the camp or you are out of luck because remember he is only about a 6min spawn. (This is after I learned of the his REAL Spawn place.) Anyways back to the story. The story below is what I did before I knew where he really spawns.

After killing the necro I ran over the the camp and waited for him to pop. Actually I had a friend with me to help, but no pop and we waited a long time. Finally we was going to leave the camp when a lv 30 cleric showed up and we invited her. Told her how upset we was because the dark elf couried didn't show at the dalf elf camp. She said, "well I just killed that on my way her." I said, "how?" She said, when she zoned in from Steamfont Mountains and was getting ready to come around the edge(to avoid browines of course) to go to MM, I think, he stared to attack her at the loc she gave us and she also showed us the place. Thank you SOOOOO MUCH cleric friend for solving the mystery. I have done it once, killed the necro and tested to see if he spawns over there and sure enough I was running toward the zone to see if he was on my tracking, and there he was.(Of course, if you gate there, you will catch him faster, but you will lose some mana, and you need all you can spare.) And if you run over there he is already running to camp, but usually you can catch him before he gets there with tracking :).

I hope this helps all that are questing for this his head and crate. Please ask if you have anymore questions and I will try to help. And again, You will need some help if you are lv 26 because you will usually not have enough mana to finish him off(which really sucks because of the amount of time you have to wait for the nerco to spawn.)

Your Druid Friend,

Killed the necro, but the princess whacked me fast as I neared the courier. Do I have to kill the necro again to spawn the courier, or will he spawn without that mindless camp? 25 druid, necro was easy, courier was green as well. Princess DE sure hits hard

here is a walk through

http://www.geocities.com/innerdarkguild/quest/symboloftunare.htm

The necromancers pops at the obelisk slightly east and north of MM zone/fae drake abandoned druid ring. Currier pops near Darkelf camp and proceeds to run to the Obelisk. BE CAREFUL WITH THE DARK ELVES!!!!! Priestess there hits 111 on my HIGH Armor Classes Pally butt, watch it or your dead very quickly, Good luck and i hope to see what the next quest is...

Just an FYI: there were some new drops in Castle Mistmoore off some regular MoBs there so it is highly likely that the rest of this series of quests will continue in Mistmoore.
