Kwinn the Outlander  

As of 5/8/24 on Teek server.

I started by just sitting at the giants and waiting for a mob to come up and stand there. There are some mobs that come kind of close that I ignored, but killed the one that came very close like he was going to run straight into the middle of the giants. There were only 3 people in the zone so I could pretty much see what spawned after that, thought not with 100% certainty.

A mob ended up spawning somewhere around 2650, -1350, and that is where I ended up sitting to kill whatever popped. Did this for 10-20min and Kwinn popped right in front of me. Killed him and then stayed for a bit to see if it would happen again. Just kept killing any mobs that came to that spot or spawned there. After about another 20min Kwinn spawned again, but to the southeast around 1930, -1670. He then walked to the southeast point in nikokirei's post. Note that the first spawn point was close to his northwest point, but not exactly.

I did follow what I was pretty sure was the PH and he walked in a north/south zig zag pattern very close to, but not exaclty on, the locations in nikokirei's post. Pretty much all the other mobs would spawn and start walking directly south or directly east/west. Drolvog Scavenger and Froglok Nok Shaman are 100% in the spawn table, can't say for certain on others.

If I have to do this again I'll probably just go with the giant fort tactic again as there seems to be only 1 or maybe 2 spawn cycles that walk to that point, and 1 or both of them are in the kwinn cycle. Never saw a mob actually spawn there though, they spawn down by the hill then path there.

I would like to put to rest the urban legend that Kwinn is spawned when a monk starts the quest to kill him. This is not true.

My 41 Druid, Dyllwin, and 41 Monk, Soluss, were in FV on Coirnav hunting Kwinn. He was not up, and neither was Scout Treekill. I roamed the zone twice, keeping the tracking window open.

Dyllwin sat near the Giant hut, within tracking distance of the mud hill.

Soluss used Origin to return home and initiate the quest with Master Niska and Klok Emphir. He then ran back to FV via SoNH.

At no point did Kwinn spawn while Soluss was enroute. Neither did he spawn immediately once Soluss was back in zone.

It was only after about 45 mminutes of killing everything I could between the mud hill and the giant hut that Kwinn spawned, right at the top of the hill at the giant hut.There was also a Mage killing in the same area, so we were downing a lot of mobs.

Just kill everything you can between mud hill and the giants to get Kwinn to spawn. Any appearance that Kwinn is triggered by starting the quest in Cabilis is an illusion.

I had the same issue as most. Killed a ton of mobs with no spawn. I hadn't officially started the quest yet, was just collecting drops. I decided to try to start the quest to see if that spawned him. I left my bard in zone and took the monk to Cab to start the quest. Sure enough within minutes Kwinn spawned after i started the quest. Had my bard kill him then he spawned again. Maybe he keeps spawning until the monk who started the quest gets in zone. Good Luck!

I killed this guy for the copper shackle, and much later I got a mission in the same quest arc to do his quest (drew short straw on the Shackle of Tynnonium quest).
Good job, Sony. First I gotta kill him... THEN I gotta play nice with him.

Went to muddy hill and killed and killed. Then read up some more and, went to the giants. Killed one giant and, had him pop on track. Caught up with him at 2520.57 , -1350.48. bunch of trash and the head. Hope this helps some Iksar monks out there

I can confirm that the best place to camp this guy is probably at the "mud hill" that is slightly northeast of the pit area near loc 2300, -1000. That loc is a little west of it but surely there will be no problem locating it. I went there originally with my 47 monk but I found that holding the top of the hill was too difficult and logging on my 62 druid didn't help much because there were too many spawns to kill at once without draining my mana and I didn't have nearly the channeling nor the life to Catastrophe the whole bunch, though I tried. I found that pulling to the south end of the hill near the beginning of the pit is the safest spot, with only drolvargs wandering there and that was actually where I found him wandering to when I logged on my druid several hours later to see if he was up. I got lucky, but if you're not like that, just pull to that spot and you should be ok. He does not aggro drolvargs nor do they aggro him.

Hope this helps.

I tried killing the giants when I first got there. Less than five minutes later Kwinn spawned just barely NW of the giants where the two different colored grasses meet...at Loc +2700, -2370. Don't know if killing the giants then having Kwinn pop was related or just coincidence, but either way my total camping time of Kwinn was maybe 10 minutes, so can't hurt to try it.

Finally managed to kill Kwinn. Found him not too far East and not too far North as I would have thought. There is a Muddy area where he walked UP the hill heading NE towards Giants. I attacked and dropped him at Pos 2280 Neg 990. Hope this helps and Gratz to those that it does. Unsure if anything triggers him or if any of the previously stated "triggers" work. I was walking through in pasing with a Ranger guildy. Got lucky and dropped him fast.

I've seen and killed him a few times for myself and others. I'm still not sure if he's a triggered spawn or not, but I would say try it either way.

He will walk a route semi-randomly it seems in the northeast. I followed him the other night and watched him walk to the Giant area, then west to about halfway along the north wall, back, then southwest across the muddy hill to the edge of the leech field(below the cliff).

He's aggressive to froglok's but has a low aggro distance of maybe 10 feet. However froglok's will assist those he's fighting so while he might win a one on one fight, when two or three jump him he's dead. I'm not sure if that's a recent change (similar to the one that made froglok's in SoNH kill skeletons/leeches/mosquito's), or his aggro range on them was so small I didn't notice it months back.

He and Mister Fizzle will travel together, and assist each other on froglok's or at least aggro on the same one.

At level 30 with my Iksar monk Kwinn conned even (as would be expected since he is level 30.) Being extremely twinked, I attacked him and pulled him to a relatively safe spot to kill. Well, I killed him, but with less than 100hp to spare and I used Mend. He's a tough bugger, and I think I had some bad luck getting stunned while pulling him to safety. Just wanted to drop this information here in case there are other monks looking for this guy. BTW, I found him on the east edge of the zone not far from the Swamp zone area.

Just to let you know, I've heard stories to and fro the controversy, but I just had a guildie say the catch phrase to Master Niska, and 2 seconds later Kwinn spawned in Firona Vie. Could be coincidence, yes, but well... I think it's worth a try for everyone.

The spawn was near the SONH zone, didn't catch it exactly, had a druid tracking, but not as far east as I would have imagined. Sorry I can't give more info, but this seems to be good news.

Level 43 monk, soon to have the Shackle of copper upon returning to town ;)

Im a lvl25 Iksar Monk doing the shackle of copper and I wanted to know if I could take on this Kwinn the outlander alone or should i get help from my lvl25 SK friend?

Whenever im by forest giant fort in FV, Kwinn is always up now. In fact i was gonna kill him so my monk could loot the head, but frogs killed him and 3 minutes later he was up again. He spawns right at ent to SoNH nearest the forest giant fort. He spawns where the swamp grass meets regualr grass. He then walks to the muddy hill, and when he gets to muddy hill, Mister Fizzle spawns to help him cuz hes onstantly under attack.

I am an iskar monk lv 19 and just got my shackle of rock. My question is he really lv 30? I am on the Firiona Vie server and I need to know if he is really 30 for i fear he will not drop the item if he is green to me.
