a skeleton monk  

Doing this today they are both assisting each other atleast on TPL

Found this guy by going to the heart spiders, the ones that are further in, then going under water from there. The room that he and Tempus are in is just out of the water. Loc Pos 760 Neg 30 Neg 150 no faction hit for killing Tempus or the monk. Spawn time for both seems to be 17 minutes.

While the necro may help the monk it doesn't go the other way around I think. I hit Tempus with a nuke from the water and the monk just stood there. So attack Tempus first is the moral of the story. But beware, read on...

I attacked Tempus the first time I came to this spot just to get the monk's mask for my chanter. I was just a 35 mage at the time soloing in Upper Guk and figured no sweat even if both of them came at me and Bob (all pets are Bob to me). Well, like a dolt, I forgot to make sure that Bob was around because you never knowing when pathing issues will get you killed as a class that requires having pets around to solo and your pet is lost.

Tempus hits like an SK, don't let the fact he may be a necro fool you. He was punching me for 50 points a pop. I got like 2 spells off and had him half dead when bob finally found his way to me all too late. I died in the water. /sigh. Man that's a long CR from NK...

Oh well, I'm 40 now. I have the Summon Companion spell now so I'll make sure Bob will right by my side when I go to nuke that punk. Tonight's the night the lights went out (multiple times) for old Tempus and I'll get that mask for my chanter daughter...

why is all the good stuff always underwater?

Got the glowing mask tonight. Our party was myself (level 30 Enchanter), level 30 Barb Shaman, and a 31 Human Cleric. Monk and Tempus both conned blue to me. Cast beguile on Tempus, let him take out his pet, then sent him after the monk, which had only a third of HP left from the other's fighting. Once monk went down, stripped enchantments from Tempus and we easily downed him.

We didn't get the mask, so we camped, and waited about 15 minutes or so until he popped. Halfway through that fight, Tempus popped and I simply enthralled him so he could wait his turn. We still didn't get the mask, so we had to wait again.

The third kill resulted in the mask.

I was going to line the ground with the skeletal monk's bone to get the glowing mask I need for my Incandescent mask quest, and i solo'd this sucker a few times before he dropped the mask. An easy way to do it is to charm the dark elf tempus. As soon as you charm, both his pet and the monk will start wacking at you so position yourself close to the monk so he gets at you first - this will cause Tempus to unleash his fury on the monk and not his pet. While this is going on, i continuously chain cast Color Flux/ Color Shift and throw in a Chaos Flux on the monk when he is still stunned and continue the cycle. The monk will go down easy, check to see if he has the mask, and then run outta there. If charm breaks early, Tempus will also get caught in your stun spell, and Color Shift gives you enough time to re-charm him, so no worries. Hope this helps...

"""I'm camping him too at the moment, so far I've killed the monk 4 times, and still no mask. What I'm worried about, is the dreaded trivial loot rule. I'm a newb, only been playing six weeks...so I don't understand triv loot very well, some have said that it was removed, is that the case?

If not, what level where you guys when you found the mask?

35 Wizard" TLC would display a message when it dropped, and there is no TLC in guk, there were two zones that had it - SB, and Warrens - they were lifted. You just need to be more patient.

Or kill frogs in downtime :)
Btw, scryer i think is a shaman type caster - and aggroed on me alltough the rest of guk was cool with me walking around :/

Surprise surprise, caugh me w/ my pants down - had to gate because i didnt have the proper solo in a dungeon wizzy spells memmed. Long run from Nro unsowed.
For the monk/nec combo,
My plan of action is to bring a chanter friend along who also needs the mask (guildie prolly) and Wiz put his damage absorber on, as well as the chanter casting a rune on him. Open w/ a snare on the monk then chain blast with 2 point blank aoes while the chanter chain stuns the best they can
If my advice isnt working, throw an aoe mez w/ the wiz targeted (they should be causing the aggro)
then evac the hell outta there :) why evac if they can both gate outside the zone? Well, in a small room w/ an aoe mez...chanter's prolly gonna get mezzed too (lets just hope the evac doesnt leave them behind)
Good luck :)

i think i found a Glowing Mask from Kurn's tower before. it was a container with 4 slots in it. will this glowing mask from kurn's tower work int he acumen's mask quest?

ok here's how this room works. Whomever you attack first the other WILL help them out no matter what then con to you. If your looking for the accuman mask make sure you finish off the monk with a final blow. (I casted Ice shock on him twice fer 310 pts and he took off swimming back the other way. A Froggie Knight killed him :(

What lvl is the Tempus? And can a 39 enchanter take both on?

which is easier to solo (for the glowing mask) the froglok scryer or the skeletal monk?

If you kill Tempus first however the monk wont attack you. I sat in the room visible and medding inbetween kills with no trouble. Unfortunately, the room they sit in is tiny making the root and burn stategy useless.
