Necromancer 6th Rank Quest

[Oreznoclaf]

Hi all,
I have searched the forums, but I am still unsure of how people were able to complete this quest. It requires of me to kill a halfling swishbuckler, but I am having a lot of trouble finding him. I have killed Red Eye Jack and the named barb several times, but to no avail spawning him. Are there any other mobs that I need to kill to make him spawn? Thank you in advance

I did this recently and maybe I got lucky because he was already up and roaming about. I found him roaming just north of #5 on the wiki map if that helps any...

Just keep at it. My luck was the other way around when I did the quest -- I got the halfling swashbuckler pretty quick but it took hours to get Red Eye Jack.

It was a while ago, but I think I got the halfling just a smidge east of #5, wandering south.

What's your name in game? I can come keep you company if you like, it's a pretty tiring quest.

Thanks for the replies guys. I just got him and as you guys implied, he was around there. I think he spawned right after killing the Ogre named Fizzle, and the halfling spawned far SW of the giants for me. Thanks again guys.

Woule be nice if the devs could complete this quest. I know it's not classic, but it's a nice quest line and the final reward isn't amazing or OP. The only item unobtainable for the 8th rank is the Flaxen Lock of Hair from Chief RokGus in droga.

I ran into a wulfware lonewolf runnin through DL; was suprised! He dropped the yellow whip.

I'm on this one. Got the candle off the sarnak pretty quickly. Went to the area in FV to look for the swashbuckler where it said in the wiki. The barb for the iksar monk quest was up roaming the area. I killed him and a few minutes (15 or so?) I saw the halfling. Unfortunately I was out of mana from trying to kill the troll Fizzle (he blinded me and healed himself and I had to FD). So I followed him around waiting to get enough mana to kill it. He walked towards the west along the ridge of the cliff (by 3 on the map). The pathing was a bit buggy, and he was bouncing up and down the cliff. Eventually he stayed down below, and unfortunately I never found him again. I think perhaps if you park yourself just a bit NE of the ruins at 3, he would eventually path into you. Not sure if killing the barbarian spawned him or not.

Got him last night. This pretty much worked for me. NE of those ruins a bit is an open area in a little valley. I just FD in that valley (kind of near where the troll shammy Fizzle runs around) and panned the camera around in circles until I saw him. Probably took 2 or 3 hours total before I saw him so thank god the NCAA tournament was going on lol. I killed the named Barbarian again, but this was a long time before I ended up seeing the halfling swashbuckler. I'm pretty sure that you do not actually have to kill anything to get him to spawn.

Anyways he eventually wandered through that valley, I pulled him with darkness and ran him up to the north wall and fear kited him there without a pet (I did this at level 30 so lots of dark blue to red mobs around where he spawns). The north wall seemed to be a pretty safe spot to fear kite actually. He resisted a few spells and got a 110 point backstab off on me but went down fairly easy, and I finally got the stein.

The NPC Grype in Cab that you turn it in spawned for me at 8pm game time (wiki just says he spawns at night).
