Necromancer 4th Rank  

Do you need to have the third skullcap to finish this quest? I was curious if anyone's tried to do it only with the 2nd cap. Yeah, yeah, I know, necro of the third circle and all that, but has anyone tried?

just to the left of Cabilis is a great bone collecting spot, there were probably a dozen decaying skeles there when i just ran into it, anyway about 45 min and almost 60 bones later i spotted a brutling come over the hill from the pond behind the giant fort, killed him got the intact, and was done.... now for the damn creeper cabbage, dont have a loc, but i could see Cabilis from the spot i was at, just to left of edge of Cabilis, cant miss it

I tried neg1750,2156 and neg1950,2600 but nothing. I stayed there for a few hours. I decided to run around invis and I finally spotted one at 2400, n1100. I spotted it close to the water. Good luck hunting that *******!

Found a creeper at 2000, 135, he was just sitting there for quite a while I summoned a pet and med back to full. I was not going to take a chance even though he was blue. I looked for a creeper for a couple of hours before I spotted him. Got a cabbage. Good luck.

I have the same probem of Evildead, i go to the loc between -1750, 2156 and -1950, 2600 and i see alot of skulking runtlings, but no brutling. I stay 4 hour , i dont understand ??????

ok I have finialy completed this quest and can help a bit with where the spawns are and what they are. BTW- you do not have to use identifiy on any of these

1.Femur, EVERY Greater scalebone will drop these, they are very easy to find right outside kurns tower.

2.Telsons, heartstings scrops, just kill them till you get one with a posion charge.

3.Creeper Cabage, there is a static spawn of a creeper in the swamp it's loc is 650,neg2850. Make sure you go there durring the day time , at night it turns into skells that you will have to wait to de-pop (i.e. don't kill the skels). It will stand right next to a frog next to the water. This is just downstream from the cave to the teeth.

4.Brutlings, dropped by "a skulking brutling" between the area of neg1750,2156 and neg1950,2600 in warsliks , kill everything that moves around that area. After I found mine my roomate hunted that area for about 30 minutes and 2 poped. They do spawn in pairs it seems one having shattered and one having intact.

This had to be the most agravating quest for me ever(the brutlings), I hunted the bandit lake for days never saw one, same with the area near the zone to overthere. After I finaly found the area that they spawn in they where not hard to get to pop.

Greetingss. Today I had the fortunate luck of finding three skulking brutlings, but all three had the shatterd choppers (Hysssss). There were several skulking runts around. I cleared those out, but for hours after, there only seemed to iksar footpads, and various goblins around. I gave up. The brutlings I found were mobile all along the southern end of the zone. They seem to wander the SW quadrant of the zone. I did not look north of the stream or bandit lake (the big brutes and pygmies where there when I took a peek). It is my last component needed for the cap.

The intact pygmy choppers that are lore and no drop are NOT the choppers you need. You need to kill skulking brutlings (rare spawn), NOT pygmy brutlings (common spawn). Sasarak, the cracked femur is right, its your choppers that are the wrong one. If they have the word pygmy in them, they are off the wrong mob.

I can attest that the cracked femur does NOT work. The correct one should be a Scalebone Femur, and rumor has it that Greater Scalebones in Kurns will drop these. I have already lost one set of components, and before I try to combine again, I want to be told by multiple people that I am wrong.

Also, the Intact Brutling Choppers come off of the Pygmie Brutlings, just hang out near the end of the trail close the the zone into the OverThere.

First of all, how do you identify the cracked femur if we don't get the spell til level 20? Just curious if it needs to be identified in order for the combine to work? If so, then why does the quest table say minimum level is 13?

I'd appreciate any input on this...thanks

I used to hunt in the field of bones (didn't we all) and my favorite pray was the heartstingers. I noticed they drop two kinds of telsons with venom, one with a proc when you hit and one that you can right click on to activate the poison.

so which one does this quest require? I'd hate to destroy the cabbage and my yet to be found brutling choppers.

Thanks, Chukle

The cracked femur and scorp telson are relatively easy, just head to Pit in Field of bones, took me about 5 minutes to aquire both 8)

The Creeper Cabbage, now that was fun 8) Head to Swamp of no hope and camp at about loc -2000, 2500 (near path by zone to Firiona Vie) took me almost two hours and one death to get the cabbage. I recommend killing everything in the area, (I was level 18 and most things conned blue, except for the Froglok Beserker which caused the one death hehe) Make sure you have a magic weopon if taking on Isatiable Nibblers. Anyway, back on track here. I had to kill 2 Man Eating Creepers to get one cabbage, so we know that it isn't always dropped, I hope you are have better luck and get it on the first one. Also make sure you have food in an upper slot, else you hungry iksar may eat the hard earned cabbage (now wouldn't that be maddenning)

Lastly, the INTACT Brutling chompers. The Skulking Brutling can be found near entrance to The Overthere zone. (I found one at about loc -1000, 4000) The first one I killed had the chompers so I was lucky, I have heard that sometimes they drop broken chompers and they don't work.

All of the creatures you kill for the quest were pretty easy for me at level 18, and I am guessing they are about level 15 themselves.

That is the best I can do for you all, I hope this helps. Now I am planning on leaving the 5th hat till i hit about level 20, but when I do it, I will post more
