If you say Korbuk sent me to the gnome, he'll stop. If he starts running again, you can say it one more time to stop him. After that his dialogue changes and he'll say he doesn't care who sent you, and continue running to despawn.

So there is some inconsistences in the forum posts and this part of the quest can be extremely confusing.

As of 12/20/2021, let me add some details that I've seen:

TLDR: I think the most important thing to understand is that he may not spawn at all! It could take a few 12hr in game cycles if you're unlucky.

He's on a 24-hour respawn if killed in open world.
- If you're on a TLP server, I recommend that you bring at least 50 players to spawn a pick. This ensures that you'll have a chance to get him without the need to know when he was last killed.
- You need about 2 groups (12 players) to hold the pick open. [Could be less, but I wasn't taking any chances].

To activate the quest text to find him you do need to have the map on your cursor during the in-game hours of 7PM - 7AM.
- If the first message you receive is 'the map seems to be leading you no where - it's likely he's been killed in the last 24hrs.
- If the first message you receive is a directional emote please keep in mind that its a spot where he COULD spawn.
- That said, when following the text directional, there is a chance that hey may not spawn and you'll get a message indicating as such. [The map seems to have led you no where].
- If this is the case you'll need to wait 10 real-time minutes for the reset during the 12hr in-game window.
- It also doesn't matter if you walk, run, are mounted, or have Bard speed.
- If he doesn't spawn in the 7PM - 7AM window, you'll have to wait for the next in-game 7PM - 7AM window. (3 real minutes = 1 in-game hour).

If he spawns
- Be ready to say the 2 phrases (Put them in a macro!)

Did this portion today on Rizlona (current content).

Between 7 pm and 7 am take the map out of your bag and hold it on your cursor. If he has been killed in the last 24 hours you will get an emote "The map doesn't appear to be leading you anywhere". I assume it is still a 24 hour spawn. I used this time to attempt to corner the highly uncontested Snow Griffin Egg market on my server. We will see what happens with that in the coming nights. I was posted up East of the ramp, about halfway to Sleeper's Tomb.

After about 9 hours (around midnight game time) I finally got "The map glows and points you ahead and to the left." I eventually hunted it down to north of the ulthork area. Everything I read states this will be a random location. The gnome spawned directly underneath me and took off running!

I had the Innate Run 5 AA and was able to catch up to him pretty quickly. He did not respond to Hails. I said the first phrase and he stopped. Upon saying the second phrase he immediately attacked. My single group beat him into submission until he despawned and dropped the box.

That's it. Stay positive!

Just as an FYI, the name of the Proc Larnik uses is called Blast of Ice cold based nuke with a -325 resist check.
The Map doesn't appear to be leading you anywhere.

I'm getting the message, "The Map doesn't appear to be leading you anywhere." whenever I hold the map. I tried zoning out and logging out and back in. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas?
Couple of tidbits

I was trying to get him to spawn with my 100 warrior tonight but no luck so far. I learned couple of things though:

1) This is probably obvious to everyone else, but not to me. You have to keep the "Fazzle's Map of East Wastes" in your mouse cursor
2) Between 7PM - 7AM game time you will get update messages like "The map glows and points you xxxxxx"
3) These messages appear every 30 seconds
4) EQ game day is 72 real-world minutes so 1 EQ hour is 3 minutes
5) It seems like the mob spawns in random location around the top of Keal ramp

I got twice into "The map seems to have lead you in wrong direction. There is nothing here" situation. After that the 30-second messages will always just say "The map doesn't appear to be leading you anywhere". It looks like zone out / zone in (to Keal in my case) seems to reset this.

Since I have level 100 warrior with max run speed AA's, turning off SoW, etc. does not do jack. The map does point to pretty far away points from the top of the ramp anyways. It is not a matter of pixels, you will end up moving 100s of yards from top of ramp.

I will update when I know more.

---

OK, I got him. For me he spawned at -4300, 4600 so way away from Kael ramp top. Just follow the 30-second directions. No need for cancelling SoW, etc. As a matter of fact having max run speed helps catching up with him.

Once he spawns, you have to stop him. He runs pretty fast. Hail does not do it. You have to say "Korbuk sent me". Having hotkey to do it makes life easier. I ended up typing it once and then just Shift-up-arrow to say it again when I was close enough.

Once he was stopped, say "The great purification". This is an old quest so there is no dialog where you can just click on the blue text. You have to type it out.

He had about 92,000 HP and as a level 100 warrior he was not able to hit me at all.:

I was having a difficult time spawning him at first. After reading a few sites, I found out:

Map becomes active multiple times in one night; Start at the top of the Ramp to Kael. If at first, you're lead to no where, head back to the top of the ramp and wait for the map to become active again. Should activate 3 times between 7pm and 7am.

When following the maps directions, F9 out to a view of your character where you can see behind you. What I read and what I experienced myself is Larnik spawns at a fast run behind you and heads back toward Kael. If you're not looking behind you, you'll miss him.

It appears, that if he has been killed within 24hrs real life time, that the map will never give any directions.

It often gives fake directions, and you get the emote of:
The map seems to have led you in the wrong direction. There is nothing here.

To set up an Aduio Trigger for when it starts giving directions, use the following trigger text:
The map glows and points


Having a hotkey set up to /tar Larnik helps alot. Also, having a second with:
/pause 5,/say Hail, %t 
/pause 5,/say Korbuk sent me. 
/say The great purification

helps alot as well.
Having someone on the ramp, with a hotkey for Korbuk sent me. may help stop him, so you can catch up to him.

Yther Ore.

spawned him yesterday lb con to 80 warrior bb geared and this is how it went down stood at the top of the ramp with the map on my cruzer with the map pulled down to the corner with the corner just showing . it went live at 7pm but when it say's behind and to the left don't do the ne crap just turn around and go behind then u will get an emote saying to the left but he spawned at the 8000 4638 area and looked like he was trying to run to the zl i almost thought it was a group member so definitely have your walk button up to click to run quickly and switch right over to the preset say button's u have set . lmao catching up to the dude was the longest part of the battle

ok this guy and his map are giving me major problems. I have gone slowly, i have done the move up a few steps and wait for next direction and all that jazz, i have also tried putting down a bunch of possible trigger points and gone to those and nothing. I tried tonight 4 times and on the 4th time it didn't even give me a direction. Right from the beginning it said the map is taking me no where. So anyone have any advice, just need this idiot then final and i will have 2.0. Please anyone at all.

Thanks,

Quoted from KegsKong on warrior 2.0 epic.. relates to this mob so reposting, it is accurate:

Update for this walkthrough. REMEMBER TO PUT WALK ON ! AND PUT MAP ON CURSER! GO SLOW .



1. The map becomes active at 7pm game time you must have it on your curser !!!!
2. When it becomes active you should be infront of keal passage <Top of ramp >
3. MAKE SURE YOU TOGGLE YOUR SPEED TO WALK AND REMOVE SOE ,SOW what ever . Follow the message without turning your curser but slighly .
4. As you follow the message , you will be ambushed by gray Gaints at level 75 . <EASY> This will happen 2 or three times before Larnik the Recluse spawns.
5. Go very slow and when you see him spawn hail him , then say Korbuk sent me Then he will stop running BUT he will only stop for little bit .
6. Once you got him stoped say 'The great purification He will become angry and attack . GOODNEWS he is VERY Slow you can kite him around in circles and shout for help in guildchat or general.
7. He is ALREA east 1 group or 70-75's could kill him My warrior is 75 with only 180 AA's and he only hit me for max 800 damage and his spell's didnt stick.
Light blue con at 75 and im 100% sure he is able to be killed with Warrior Cleric Shaman mix .
put it on your cursor >< wasted time

The giants spawning are part of the kael shawl quests. Nothing to do with warrior 2.0
Larnik
# Jun 18 2007 at 7:49 AM Rating: Decent
Helped a guildie do this last night. At 7PM gametime the map becomes active, but Larnik does not pop, so he is not trackable. The map leads you to a trap-like spot, where if the Warrior gets close to the trap, it pops Larnik. Other group members won't pop Larnik if they are near the spot. You need to walk sort of slow, because if you run over the trap spot too fast, you may not pop Larnik.

Our trap spot last night was around -5920,+2850, which is a spot just northeast of the Kael entrance.

When he does pop, he starts running immediately towards Kael. Hailing did not seem to stop him. You cannot snare him (illegal target) or slow him any other way, until he becomes KoS. Make sure you have your trigger text hot-keyed to stop him from running.

He was very easy for a level 75 group, Anguished geared. The warrior never dropped below 80% health. I think we healed him once for the entire fight.

The trick is getting him to pop and then catching him. He is not faster than SoE, but he is pretty fast.

I know that if you have not popped him by 11PM game time, you need to wait another game-day cycle.

finally
# May 28 2007 at 3:30 PM Rating: Decent
Finally figured out how this works. When your map becomes active at around 7pm gametime, move SLOWLY in the direction it point. Moving fast can cause you to overshoot larnik as he DOES MOVE at all times upon his spawn. If it says "the map glows and points straight ahead" or whatever, move just a little straight ahead, not a large chunk of distance like i was before. I could not get this guy to spawn for several nights, then got him to spawn 2 times in 2 nights. Mob is easy as well...any decently geared group will own him. Hit me max for about 1025, most around 300-500 at 2500 ac, but did land the 4k DD proc near the end of the fight 1 time. Finding him the tough part, killing him easy. I just simply stood at the top of the ramp to Kael , and when the map became active, moved from there along with its direction. He does not spawn at the ramp, only runs towards it. Good luck and safe hunting.
trackable?
# May 28 2007 at 12:30 PM Rating: Decent
That silly map is giving me fits for the last few days, so i was wondering if anyone could tell me if Larnik is trackable or not. Been having my wifes ranger with me to track while the map is active, but have not seen him up during any of the active times.
Spawn time
# Apr 22 2007 at 3:57 PM Rating: Decent
I have a feeling that Larnik is on a 24 hour spawn timer. I was there when one warrior killed him and the next night all my map would say is "The map doesn't appear to be leading you anywhere". I stayed there for 10 hours getting the same thing. I logged in the next day 24 hours later and the map started working again.

So if you go through several nights of the map not leading you anywhere it is possible someone has already killed him.
keep the map
# Apr 11 2007 at 10:10 AM Rating: Decent
After u kill larnik for yourself. u can go back and help other warrior's with it. I had my kit done already took my map to EW today and helped a friend get it. both maps were working.
Best way to do this is use the loc's from steelwarriors , find that direction then run all around the loc. Good Luck all
different spawn time
# Apr 07 2007 at 11:36 AM Rating: Decent
he spawned at 2AM Game Time for me today. Im thinking he may be on a 6 hour Game Time timer.
