Dugroz may be found at -250, -1800 in the Swamp of No Hope.

You say, 'Hail, Dugroz'

Dugroz says 'Fffrroaaak!! Go away! I don't want to [work for them] anymore! Go find another slave!'

You say, 'What work for them?'

Dugroz looks relieved and eyes you, considering. Finally, he begins to recant his tale. 'I was once the slave of an important Iksar necromancer. I was his Dugroz, his head slave. One night, I heard two other slaves talking about me. I could barely hear them but what I did hear frightened me. My master was going to use me one last time. He was going to sacrifice me to craft a spell component for one of his most powerful spells. Hearing this, I used my privileges as his head slave and made my [escape].'

You say, 'How did you escape?'

Dugroz says 'As the head slave, I was allowed to move freely throughout my master's compound. I came across one of the slavemasters asleep in his chair and carefully relieved him of his [keys]. Then, quietly, I made my escape.'

You say, 'What keys?'

Dugroz says 'After I escaped, I lost myself in the depths of the swamp. I discarded all the keys but one. I will gladly give it to you if you can do me a [small favor].'

You say, 'What small favor?'

Dugroz blinks his eyes and leans forward. He whispers so quietly you must strain to hear him, 'I have taken up the same magics as my master. I require two components to complete a spell I have been researching for quite some time. The first is a vampire's fang. I have heard tales of a vampire who haunts the ruins of Kaesora. I also need a jade weapon stained by the blood of a chokidai. Look in the Lake of Ill Omen at the sarnak outpost. The leader used to herd chokidai, or so I am told.'

The "vampire's fang" is a Xalgozian Fang, dropped by Xalgoz in the depths of Kaesora. The "jade weapon stained by the blood of a chokidai" is a Jade Chokidai Prod, dropped by the Chancellor of Di`Zok at the back of the Sarnak fort, by the Lake of Ill Omen. Give these two items to Dugroz.

Dugroz says 'My thanks to you, ______, take this key, I know not what door it opens. Now if I can just find that necklace of power that I took from my master's lair!'

You gain experience!!

You receive the Key to Charasis. Once you zone into Charasis (a.k.a. the Howling Stones), it will go on your keyring.

More information needed on the "necklace of power."

For those that are tossing around the idea of the Necklace of Superiority and Drussil, please remember that the NoS originally dropped off the Kly in Dalnir. It was too good of an item for a lower level dungeon, so Sony/Verant/989 moved it to Charsis.

Regarding that the Kly uses a Sarnak model and not an iksar, and Dugroz mentions an Iksar Necro as his master.

Pretty sure neclace of power is just another dead end meant to be finished by people of talent that have long since left the everquest design team. It's been in the text since the launch of kunark if i'm not mistaken and no leads so far :p...

At this point you GIVE the 2 items to dugroz and he in turn says:

Dugroz says 'My thanks to you, Ladiasya, take this key, I know not what door it opens. Now if I can just find that necklace of power that I took from my master's lair!'
[Sun Sep 26 22:01:38 2004] You gain party experience!!

From there you go to Charasis and zone in and the key becomes soulbound and appears on your keyring.

After handing Dugroz the quest items he gives you the key and says:
"My thanks to you, Wwein, take this key, I know not what door it opens. Now if I can just find that necklace of power that I took from my master's lair!"

This to me shrieks out QUEST.

I've tried many combinations of words on him for more information but without any luck.

Having been enslaved in Charasis, his 'master' may well be Drusella Sathir. She drops the Necklace of Superiority. I have since attempted to give him the necklace, but he just refuses it and gives it back.

This may be an unfound quest, or just a hint that Drusella drops a nice necklace.

The mini-VS from the iksar cudgel quest #8 also drops a necklace. Anyone tried handing that in to Dugroz?

Solo

As a level 55 SK this quest was very easy solo. The only precaution, as mentioned previously, is the spiders that see through invis. I beat Xalgoz with about 90% HP left. He pops in the middle of the church's main floor right above/behind the alter.
Key
# Jul 18 2004 at 3:28 PM Rating: Decent
Killed him solo as a 59 Druid today. No problem even as a non-pet class. Yes, the spiders see through invis more often than not. Just go slow, killing as you go. Staight ahead from zone in to "broken floor room" passage below to the right and slightly behind is the one you want. this passage "did not" show on my in-game map. Used IVU potions after this point, a must imo. These mobs are green but with enough HP's to be a real pain in a gang. A bit of trouble finding "church". Just keep heading "down" after you come to 5 towers. Slowly killed mobs around him. He burnt a lot of mana trying to heal them. Then killed him from within the church, just stayed away from the side with the hole in the floor. He cast like crazy, nothing stuck, my magic resist was 162. Dropped one "fang" and the Blade. Have fun

Don't know why anyone else had trouble, I went down there with my 58 Beastie for the drop for the Progressive Beastie Wep Quest and desided to take him out while I was there .... I didn't fight while in the zone ... warder took everyone out with no trouble and a rare heal here and there.

Me, 56 SK and a 38 War, went there today and got all the way to the chapel. At the chapel we got insane aggro, 7 mobs, War receiving all the aggro. Sufficite to say the War went down and then I took them all down. Well, went inside chapel and Xalgoz was up and he dropped 2 Xalgozian Fangs. Which, I guess is the norm. Anyway we plan on goin' back and gettin his fang and my monks.

After the turn in to Dugroz, he says "My thanks to you, _____, take this key, I know not what door it opens. Now if I can find that necklace of power that I took from myh master's lair!"

Wonder what necklace he is referring to. Perhaps a continuation of this quest with another reward.

Finished it!!
# Mar 29 2004 at 1:24 AM Rating: Decent
Finally finished it. I tryed camping the guy in Kaesora once before for 3 hours and never got him to spawn. Went today with myself 58 cleric, 61 warr, 60 warr, 57 druid, 59 ranger out of boredom. Was very much an overkill lol. The good thing was that he dropped 2 fangs so my roommate also got his key today! Now my question is where is the zone out? We both used gate potions! His is from the 4th prayer shawl you land in thurgadin but, better than nothing :).

Actually the enterance is very hard to get to from Xalgoz's spawn. It takes a trip through many invisible doors/traps and if you dont have a guide taking you or a porter,your pretty much screwed here. My whole group (45-52) died on the trip up but we got rezzes and then a port. PORTERS WILL BE VERY VERY VERY USEFUL

It's actually easy as crud, from zone in you have levitate on and drop down one level after going straight then go straight again and then drop down throught the broken floor and go through the NW tunnel, from them on just follow the LoY map or look on eqatlas. No hidden traps or invisble anything...

Easy 57 mage kill
# Feb 28 2004 at 4:23 AM Rating: Decent
Camped Xalgoz today for the fang. killed the PH along with everything else. after 15-20 mins room repoped again, apart from the PH spot at the alter. 10 mins after room repop Xalgoz poped. sent earth pet in with burnout 4 and cadeau of flame on, he went to work. i hit Xalgoz with 2x Shock of Steel (aprox 850pt nuke) and then a Scars of Sigil ( aprox 480pt nuke) pet took off about 700 (give or take a few) so all in all he has about 3000hp. shud be an easy kill for most 55+
Hope this helps :)

Easy Quest took me about 2 and a half hours to do because Chancellor Of Di`Zok was not up I am a 65 wizard went with 2 friends, another 65 wizard and a 65 enchanter we finished xalgoz quickly and the Chancellor Of Di`Zok was a simple kill also just if they arent up it is like a 3 hour spawn time per mob

I want to MQ this for one of my alts. I have an extra drop of Xalgoz. Can my alt kill Chancellor and have the Xalgoz part MQed?

And I would do that by handing in the MQ part first, hitting accept. Then having the alt turn in the Chancellor part to get the key?

I'm new to MQing, I've always just done the whole quest.

Just wanted to add. to sum up all I know and most stuff that has already been said.

Spawn time is 2 Hours

This guy will cast:
Malo-lower resists
Togors-Slow
Instill-root so he can run
and some side DoTs

These are REAL easy to resist... but you should have your resists around 50 (30 you will be owned)

I have pulled him into the corner to the left, and I have only gotten an add once, and that time i wasnt paying attention and moved way out and got aggro.

He melees like crap-IF you die-he will stand above your corpse or wherever it was he was last when you were no longer a priority.

I have a level 55 Rogue and i never cared for resists that much. I once came to kill him by myself after a raid, so i had virtue, FOS, Avatar, Haste wore off.. and no resists. I single pulled him with a sarnak right next to him. I got him down to 6% and he healed himself slowly after he slowed me. then DoTed me and Rooted me and ran away. No adds came but I did get one. then he was off for a few minutes and he never despawned. then someone else came down to camp him and he never popped. I am thinking that he never returns to spawn point unless he gates and he only does that if you pull him and hes about to die. GL peoples I hope i helped you.

Xalgoz is a real pushover for anyone 45+.

This key is no big thing and can be done in under 2 hours.
xalgoz is easy for a 51 paladin
# Sep 04 2003 at 6:45 PM Rating: Decent
I camped him 9-03-03 fought my way down without invis or invis to undead. No problem if you dont try to run away,Kill the healer spiders first if you get several adds. At one point i had 5 spiders on me took me to 30% health only cast stun on healers when they started to heal. Once in undead area was easy killing undead till i worked my way to church area . At church area pacified the guardians and pulled 1 at a time till I cleared out church . Xalgoz was up I stood at left side in church pulled him with dismiss undead and proceded to stun him dropped him and had 69% health and 70% mana still left. He dropped a fang a blade and necklace . Slowly made my way back out with little problem . Now on my way to SoNH for my key. Btw only had my buffs on and no KIE but it would have lessened med times didn't see anything try and dispell me.
This was my first time here and followed map from eqatlas as a guide.
Good luck all hope this helps out

Extremely Easy to get this key.
# Aug 16 2003 at 12:32 PM Rating: Decent
Just my 2cp. I did this with my 56 BST the last two nights with no problems what-so-ever. LOIO I just slaughtered every Sarnak in the fort. I just coincidentally killed the Weaponsmith in the fort before I got to the Chancellor, so he had no help and was a total pushover. Last night I went to Kaesora. Bought a gate potion just in case I needed it, but was able to take out pretty much all of Kaesora solo. Even found my way back to the entrance np. Xalgoz went down almost as easy as the chencellor did. Now all I have to do is go to SoNH to find the frog.

I did this Kaesora piece solo just for fun. I used invis and lev to the towers area and then switched to ITU. With the very low aggro range of a lvl 64 I could single pull with a temp flux staff. Once in the room with Xalgoz (ITU up still) I loaded up some ae's (static pulse and wave of heat) and let it rip. Sure I don't need the key but I am a post-velious player. Never been to Kunark much so I wanted to explore. Besides the dang planes are camped to bursting atm. Got the VP part too while I was in.
