Karg IceBear  

Just finished this up. As others have mentioned the fact that mobs kill each, and roam all over makes this annoying. I did have Karg and Martan up at the same time. Placeholders do pop at the 9 second mark for both cycles. Can say for me nothing spawned West of Megan's tower, or below the bottom of the V. Did have a PH spawn almost at the giant's fort, so they do go East a good ways.

As Jessiecuh said, there isn't a unique to any cycle. I saw the full list they posted on Karg's cycle. I never saw ice goblins on Martan's but I wasn't killing his after he popped, and he always showed up crazy fast for me (literally never more than 4 ph).

Good luck to anyone else that does this. The changes made to aggro to stop bards and shadow knights made these things harder than it used to be. I remember doing Quillmane and the monk guy by rounding up everything in the south end of the zone on my wizard and ae blasting it down. Then looking for the correct timed respawn. Was so much easier than trying to find it one by one.

Karg spawned at and was highsunned too 2096 -4553 spawn time ~7 minutes, ph so far: orcish mountaineer, wooly mammoth calf, wooly mammoth. I spent hours highsunning/killing stuff and never got anything to spawn at other loc mentioned (which would be the case if I kept missing the ph also).

I killed all around the LDoN camp to Permafrost down south and back up and to the west portion of the river near the tower. It was hard to keep up with all the spawns that drop this I had a note with about 9 different things they said can spawn him and I think about 95% of what I killed were the ones on the list. I tried to do the track to things and kill it, but it seemed like I killed faster just running around in a big circle. I got him to spawn twice in about 3 hours and on the 2nd kill he dropped the rogue piece. I was doing this for about an hour on my druid because he was porting the rogue around doing the epic quest chain, but it was way better doing it on my ranger with the range on the bow. Both times he spawned to the east of the LDoN camp, once on the ice and once a little east passed the ice.

I can't seem to delete the earlier post..so let me just say I as wrong about Martar spawning only at night. The reason I thought that was because his PH , a polar bear, appeared to despawn while I was tracking. But it didn't -- the polar bears and cubs are agro to the snow orcs, so if you don't get to them quickly you lose your PH kill to the orc and have to start hunting for the PH again.

Rogue Epic changes:
- Eldreth will now return after leaving for 1 hour rather than 8. He can no longer be killed by miscreants.
- Founy Jestands and Tani N'Mar will no longer have any parchment on their corpses if killed. They will, however, always have them in their pockets if someone happens to be clever enough to take them.
- Renux Herkanor will no longer carry a Jagged Diamond Dagger.
- General V'ghera will no longer carry a Cazic Quill.
- Karg IceBear will be a bit easier to find and will be carrying the Gigantic Zweihander more often.

This is a duplicate post and since Zam doesn't like those, I will alter the first line of the post slightly from the one under the Fabled Karg.

Since Marter and Karg Icebear are so interrelated, I will be posting this under both of their names on Zam

Marter Icebear and Karg Icebear are relatively easy to spawn but a good tracker is required. These two are not on the same spawn cycle, though both of their cycles do include the same mobs.

The starting area is between the Wayfarers Camp and the west branch of the river above the split. slaughter any roaming mobs in that general vicinity. Mobs not included in the cycle are adult mammoths. What you are trying to spawn are polar bears, polar bear cubs and any of the Icy Goblins. These can spawn in any of about 20+ spawn sites. Generally, they will spawn between the ice giant fort and Megan's Tower, from almost to the north LDoN entrance to the lower LDoN entrance. The PH for these two re-spawns in 12 seconds +/- 3 seconds. Once you have a PH on tracking, stop the slaughter and wait about 20 seconds to make sure the slaughter re-spawns are done. Kill the PH and watch for what spawns about 12 seconds later. The re-spawns will include spiders, orcs and mammoth calves. Keep track of any other mobs that spawn at the same time, Tundra Jack and Iceberg will be killing at the same time. Almost every mob in that area of the zone re-spawn on the same time frame. Keep killing the re-spawns until you get either Marter or Karg. If you are after Marter and Karg is up, leave him up and repeat the killing of PHs until you get the Icy Goblin or the polar bears. These will become your new killing cycle.

Notes of interest:
1. I have had Marter spawn 12 times in a row then again not for over 25 kills of the PHs.

2. Normally, the named and the PHs will spawn in the north half of the zone, but they can spawn in the south..

3. I used a bard to track the re-spawns so that I would not get the spawns from the kills in the canyon area on tracking.

4. Watch the tracking very closely as the cycle contains orcs that can and will spawn all over the zone.. I:E a Snow Orc Trooper or Shaman. It also contains Snow leopards.

5. The Tainted Mammoth is not part of the cycle nor are any of the skeletons.

Good luck and good hunting.

The exact location when I killed Karg Icebear was + 1888, -4444, -100. I did nothing to spawn him, he spawned on his own. I was right in the middle of the river directly west of the Wayfarer Camp. I do not know how long a wait you will have but he paths that way, so good luck. Almost forgot it was 4 a.m. game time.

a few weeks passed we didn't see either of the cloak carriers, then today he poped me and gwenalana took him down for a cloak of ice bear for classic ton upgrade, he also drop 2 hand seword and giant zweihander 18/39 thing

Just recently finished off hunting this guy for the last 2 weeks. Had a druid camped at the split of the river. First few days i was logging on every hour or so to find nothing. From there i read in a early post that he spawns at midnite or noon time. So from that i started checking early mornings and late evenings. Over the remainder of the week i seemed to be getting him twice a day. Found this to be more annoying than pickpocketing for the notes.

where the heck is this guy been looking for him for a while havent seen him once in 3 days with my ranger tracking the zone I havent even seen martar up looks like my rogue's epic will be put off for a while.

been camping him on and off still have not seen him. anyone know what his place holder is if any?

Killed him today. North of LDoN camp. p2300 n4600
