Hope the title is right, forgot the names of the zones offhand lol. Anyways, does anyone have info on these? I was told you need a paw for cairnworth to summon the boss and that it is a random drop in the dungeon. So what are the drops to summon the other to bosses in landview? Also, do they just drop or do you need a specific quest to get the item to drop first? like with the crux of trengal keep. I cant find info anywhere so all i can think to do is post here and hope for the best.Jgok
Well, I've done "The Houndmaster's Torque" in Cairnsworth Hall.It's actually a nice setup. As you're going through Cairnsworth, nearly any mob can drop the paw needed to summon the Houndmaster. You don't actually need to be on the quest "The Houndmaster's Torque" to get or use the paw.
Once looted, right-click the paw, and you'll get a repeatable quest (as long as you're level 19+, I think, and repeating it requires looting another paw after completing the quest you're on). To complete the first bit, go straight through the first room and look for some stairs going down. At the bottom of the stairs, turn right, and you'll come to an NPC who will "activate" the paw. Then go back up the stairs, back to the first room. If you face as though you were coming in from the entrance, you'll take the left door, and follow your compass waypoint to a large hall full of mobs. Once the hall is cleared, stand near the grave in the center and right-click the paw again to summon the houndmaster. My memory is a little faulty, but I think he's around level 24 or so, 4 or 5 dots, with three 3-dot okami adds, and drops loot ranging from uncommon to heroic (we did him for a full group, and got a heroic staff and medium reinforcement, as well as a couple of rare belts and a couple of halfway decent uncommons, iirc.) The item I got out of the mix was "Bolster Belt of the Hound (rare heavy waist, bindable, 101 Armor Class, +6 Strength, +3 Constitution, +5 Mental Resistance, +38 Hit Points, Item Level 21)
The quest NPC outside the hall also gives three quests, the object of which can drop off any mob in the dungeon. Once you have one of those pieces, right-click the grave in the same area as the houndmaster to spawn one of three other named mobs that drop uncommon or rare loot.
