I really appreciate the Devs fixing the rancorous ghasts but in order to make the work worthwhile the necromancer has to spawn in order to advance the quest to final stage.

And for that matter the massager or whatever that instantly pops at the Lesser Fay / Faydark zone after you kill him. Here is a post from the forum on Alla

"Larik Z`Vole: He spawns on the bottom step of the obelisk. I killed him five times and not once did he spawn on the top step. He only spawns at night which begins at 6pm EQ time and ends at about 4-5am EQ time in Lesser Faydark (I'm not sure if that's standard day/night times). He's on a 5 hour respawn timer (that's 5 hours EQ time, which seems to be almost exactly 15 minutes real time). To increase your chances for having him spawn, which seems to be completely random, you want to kill the mob on the lower step at around 2pm EQ time for a night time spawn at 7pm and then another at about 12am midnight. There won't be enough time for a third spawn before day break, so you won't get more than two spawns per evening. He cons blue to a lev 19 CLR and isn't hard to kill. Nothing other than lower level mummies and skeletons spawn on the top step or near the tree or on the hill next to the obelisk. Those are on a shorter timer of 2 hours EQ time. That makes sense so that there is less likelihood of Larik Z`Vole spawning without company. FYI for each of the five times I saw him spawn, I was alone in the zone and standing on the hill overlooking the obelisk. I'm not sure if that matters, but I spent a long time standing elsewhere with and without helpers in the zone without Larik spawning for a very long time (a real time holiday Monday from dusk till dawn... very painful). I killed everything that spawned around the obelisk every 15 minutes, and with much wrath, I might add, when it was just another skeleton/mummy.

Teir`Dal Courier: Why did I kill Larik five times, you ask? To try to catch this stinker. I tried gating back to the GFay zone line to catch him there when he spawns... nada. I waited to see if he showed up at the obelisk to talk to Larik since he's supposed to be delivering messages to the necromancer... nada. I'm not sure where he spawns, but it isn't the GFay zone line. If he does spawn there then he zips past faster than you can gate after killing Larik. From wherever he spawns, he heads straigh to the Teir'Dal camp. I finally got him when I logged out a ranger character just south of the merchants and just a little north and east of the Teir'Dal camp. I had previously found him at the Teir'Dal camp but died horribly trying to fish him out from very tough dark elves. So when Larik spawned for the FIFTH time, I logged in with that ranger (on a second computer, of course), formed a party with that character, killed Larik with the Cleric at the obelisk, picked up the Dark elf courier with the ranger character's tracking, snared the bastard and fought him with the ranger while I ran the cleric to join the battle. Killed the courier, looted the head and crate... then crapped myself and collapsed. Heh.. no seriously I cashed those items in and got the Disciple symbol. "

Hope this helps
