Easiest way to complete the quest is to sit on the path just west of the Gnomes near Greater Faydark Zone Line or close to / around [[Glyndur Tindel]] while tracking all undead monsters. Staying stationary will never let you get all the spawns in the zone though and will result in a slow completion. Roaming around the map clearing every roaming undead is highly recommended.(̶C̶a̶n̶ t̶h̶i̶s̶ b̶e̶ v̶e̶r̶i̶f̶i̶e̶d̶?̶ I̶t̶ s̶e̶e̶m̶s̶ t̶o̶ c̶o̶n̶f̶l̶i̶c̶t̶ w̶i̶t̶h̶ l̶o̶c̶ i̶n̶f̶o̶r̶m̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶.)

Description

8 p.m. - 6 a.m. Game Time Spawn

At 8 p.m. game time, all wandering undead in the lesser Faydark immediately respawn with a chance of being a rancorous ghast. Any undead killed at night then have a chance to spawn as a ghast at the normal zone respawn interval. At 6:00 a.m. game time the undead once again respawn as only skeletons and mummies.

The heart is a semi-rare drop, so expect to stay multiple game nights to collect all 4. Maybe about 25% drop chance for the hearts.

Tracking Strategy

Pro tip: bring a tracker to know when a ghast is up. If there isnt one up, just track down and kill the wandering skeletons and more ghasts will spawn. In one night cycle I was able to get 4-5 ghasts to spawn with this method. Being in wolf form will make you non-KOS to the roaming, ill-tempered brownies.

Sense the Dead Strategy

Clerics can use the level 9 spell Sense the Dead to find the closest undead. While this spell finds any undead, not just the ghasts, this can actually be helpful, as it will also point you toward placeholders. If you cast the spell near the areas marked in red on the map, you shouldn't end up killing too many unecessary undeaded.

Plus, as a bonus, this approach can help raise your Divination skill, since the spell is cheap and cast repeatedly.
