Walruses!

They have enough hp's to last long enough for you to get clear, and you houldn't have to zone. Jboots was enough to get me far enough away the kds just stood there and despawned.

4th Shawl - Easy Method to Spawn Tranik

Figured I'd post since I've gone through the hassle of having to find this guy. This really requires the use of two to three accounts, depending who you're trying to get Tranik for.

1) Create a first level warrior, race doesn't matter, only deity, and that deity is Rallos Zek (the giants follow Rallos Zek, automatic dubious con). Get him out to Eastern Wastes, pretty simple since nothing will aggro him in GD on the way there, just watch those slopes. )

2) I've found a high level Mage is the best to have for the second part of this. Have him meet your newbie, and summon up an Ulthork with Monster Summoning. Why you ask? Since you can walk through monsters, the walrus has a nice box-shaped nose which when looked through from the other side, we've dubbed "walrus cam." Very easy for getting the newbie completely centered along a path.

3) Walk the newbie around and line him up with Ulthork and walk towards, make sure he's on a direct line with the mage pet. (PS - have the Mage set the pet to "guard here" and he'll face the nearest spawn point). Keep in mind, keep the Mage back a ways in case a death squad spawns. Once aligned with the pet, the Mage walks a ways in a different direction, lining up with the newbie again. Newbie walks along the original line until he meets up with where the pet is now facing. When those two points meet, you'll find a spawn, either death squad or Tranik. Once Tranik shows up, inform your friend and hail him until they show up (don't do any dialogue, just hail him). It'll stop him from despawning.

This method took us a while the first time, but now we have it down to being able to find Tranik in about 10-15 minutes, with no risk whatsoever. Any death squad spawned will stand about aimlessly as they're dubious to the newbie, and will despawn in about 3 or 4 minutes if not aggro'd. Any pet class will work, but the Ulthork method just makes it a walk in the park.

Then after your friend has gotten his letter, take your newbie to Kael, shouting LFG, and have fun goofing around with high levelers wondering how the heck a newbie made it to Kael and isn't dead. )

Hope this has been of help.

Heh, it took me 18 Kromriff Death Squads and four hours to finally locate that dwarf! By far, though, my worst shawl quest memory would have to be hunting those **** wurms in GD.
