Does anyone have experience camping him? If so is wiki accurate and how rare is the ring? Thanks!

Similar to spawning Quillmane, kill the PHs that spawn (PHs or Courier spawn immediately after you kill them).

Ring is very rare. It's pretty reasonable to get the courier to spawn every 15 minutes or so. However, I've known people that have sort of lost their mind due to killing the courier over and over with no ring drop.

Camped him once for 3h30 with my druid, although I got the right PH (easy to sspot as they repop immediately), the bugger never poped once. Good luck.

Incredibly easy to spawn, very difficult to get the ring. Probably spent 6+ hours and probably close to 100 couriers and got several of his shit rings. Then one day running through loio on my druid I ran past him and nuked him, dropped the ring. I recommend lvling a character in the area as you try and get him to pop and at least get some xp out of what can be an incredibly long camp. I usually bring my alts in there teens here for exp and a chance at the ring.

I have a 13 chanter atm, what lvl would you recommend bringing him to xp around where the courier spawns?

Atleast 15 because of warlords soothsayers etc would rape u any lower without high lvl

^ the courier himself is not tough but there are other mobs around. I say at 17-18 your probably okay. Also, unless your an Iksar, beware Crusader Dreezan as he does wander quite a large area and will chase after mobs in the area. Also if you find the courier fighting a goblin, make sure you kill the goblin first and then the courier to be sure your able to loot corpse.

Courier will get attacked by soothsayer if u dont grab him on spawn.. Soothsayer rapes.. Be careful

Are the PHs on the wiki right? I'm not sure I've seen any with the exact spelling on the wiki (I assume capitalization matters). Any more info? Haven't gotten him to spawn at nearly the rate others are claiming here.

The mobs on wiki are correct. I can verify as I have spawned him quite a few times, only 1 ring has dropped for me. I spawned courier in between windmill and pillars. Look for the placeholders around there.

spent 3 days with a pet on one of his spawnpoints. Saw plenty of couriers, never got a ring.

As a young enchanter I wouldn't go any earlier than 16 and that would be if you're confident in your charming ability and have decent charisma gear... otherwise I'd wait till 20. I camped near the rock outcropping on the east side of the field. Like others said, keep an eye out for the Crusader and higher level goblins. Sometimes people will train from the Haunted ruins and the mobs will rape you as they path back from FV if you're not paying attention. Other times high levels will pull everything, and I mean everything, trying to get the courier to spawn. It's best to just come back later or do something else when that happens.

If you stay at this camp you will get your ring and get good exp doing it! I started around level 18 and got it a few levels later. Later, I farmed the ring for an embarrassing amount of time to earn money, didn't want to out level my husband when he took a break, and got 7 rings at level 34. Once I got 2 rings in a row! Other times I didn't see one for a week. My high elf enchanter is friendly with most of Cabilis without illusion from killing so many sarnaks and goblins. I don't plan on revisiting this camp any time soon lol. Anyway, yeah...the wiki gives good info on the placeholders. Good luck :)
