Kunark Era (added 2000)

Also known as "Charasis", Howling Stones was built by the vain Venril Sathir as his own personal retreat, where he studied and perfected the arts of necromancy. The zone is now filled with the remaining, eternal minions he created for himself and the lingering spirit of his ancient companion, Drusella Sathir. There is a quest that you must perform to obtain the key to enter this zone: the Key to Charasis Quest. Be prepared upon entering, however, as you will be set upon by mostly undead creatures.

Keys and Dungeon Progression

WARNING: Upon zoning in, you may be greeted by two to three hostile NPC's! See "Dangers" below.

This dungeon is meant to be done in a linear fashion, your forward progress controlled by the need for no rent keys to move on to further parts of the dungeon. However, rogues are able to bypass these requirements by picking any lock in the dungeon, and are highly prized here for this ability. The keys can be obtained from either monsters or found lying on the ground in various places. You must travel from North Wing, to West Wing, to South Wing, to East Wing if you are using the keys.

All keys are temporary (disappear if you log out), their locations are:

Everywhere:

Tallow-marked Candle - any bottomless feaster or bottomless gnasher can drop. This is for access to the North wing.

North:

Sacrificial Robe Clasp - floor, center room (#2 on map). This is for key to North Boss (Crypt Keeper)
Sigil of the Calendar - drops from the Crypt Keeper. This is for access to the West Wing.

West:

Skull-engraved Coin - floor, room past trap (#5 on map). This is Key to West Boss (Skeletal Procurator)
Broken Sacrificial Dagger - drops from Skeletal Procurator. This is for access to South wing.

South:

Coin Depicting Innoruuk - Floor drop in south in the room with 3 spawns on the west side of South approx loc neg470,pos 249 . This is key to East Wing (The door between where Drusella spawns, 14 on the map, and the zone-out portal cannot be opened by any key.)

Howling stones has a particular named scheme where every wing has a list of named, some unique to a wing and some shared. Every wing has a couple static named spot with a PH and any named assigned to that wing can spawn at those. Every wing has a unique "boss" that only spawns in the last room and only the "boss" can spawn there.

Note: I've seen two "a crypt wurm" up at the same time in North so it seems the named mobs are not unique.

Dangers

Upon zoning in, you may be greeted by two hostile NPC's. It could be any 2 of the following: a bile golem, a bottomless feaster, or a sepulcher skeleton. Before zoning in, check with somebody in the zone to see if the entrance is clear. Otherwise, prepare yourself for a potential battle. The skeletons have a ~450pt harm touch.

There are many pit traps hidden throughout the dungeon, and you fall for significant damage and then are required to find your way ot the top of the dungeon again.

Dying in one of the wings can mean a very difficult corpse run, as the keys necessary to get back to your corpse will be on the corpse itself. This can be mitigated by either running near one of the pit traps when you're about to die (so your corpse can be pulled through the basement), or instructing your cleric to camp somewhere safe while the rest of the party roots what they can and dies as slowly as possible.

The faction hits for evil races and characters in this zone can be very significant. The faction is entirely on Venril Sathir faction, the same faction that exists in the Overthere outpost. Fighting here will quickly result in you becoming KOS in that outpost, which can be problematic for an evil character who is bound there.

Note: Although you will take VS faction hits here, the mobs are not actually on VS faction, and so it is not possible to be non-KOS in this zone. [1]

Benefits

This can be a very fun dungeon crawl zone, as well as having the potential for great exp and some very interesting drops. Necromancers in particular will find HS to be an excellent zone for soloing and duoing in the mid-to-high 50's.

Traveling To and From Howling Stones

Howling Stones can be found by zoning to it from a red sphere located in the scorpion chasm in the middle of The Overthere. To enter, one must complete the Key to Charasis Quest to obtain the Key to Charasis. The red sphere must be clicked with the key on one's cursor.

Zoning out: The only way to zone out of Howling Stones without a spell (Gate, port) is a portal behind a locked door with no key in the very back of the East Wing. This zone out portal drops you at -96, 796 in The Overthere ( at the entrance to the Scorpikis temple that the HS orb is in). If you're not Invis when you zone out there's a pretty good chance you will be attacked and harm-touched by A scorpikis.

 This dungeon is meant to be done in a linear fashion, your forward progress controlled by the need for no rent keys to move on to further parts of the dungeon. However, rogues are able to bypass these requirements by picking any lock in the dungeon, and are highly prized here for this ability. The keys can be obtained from either monsters or found lying on the ground in various places. You must travel from North Wing, to West Wing, to South Wing, to East Wing if you are using the keys.

+Howling stones has a particular named scheme where every wing has a list of named, some unique to a wing and some shared. Every wing has a couple static named spot with a PH and any named assigned to that wing can spawn at those.

 == Dangers ==
 Upon zoning in, you may be greeted by two hostile NPC's. It could be any 2 of the following: a bile golem, a bottomless feaster, or a sepulcher skeleton. Before zoning in, check with somebody in the zone to see if the entrance is clear. Otherwise, prepare yourself for a potential battle. The skeletons have a ~450pt harm touch.
 There are many pit traps hidden throughout the dungeon, and you fall for significant damage and then are required to find your way ot the top of the dungeon again.
-The faction hits for evil races and characters in this zone can be very significant. The faction is entirely on Venril Sathir faction, the same faction that exists in the Overthere outpost. Fighting here will quickly result in you becoming KOS in that outpost, which can be problematic for an evil character who is bound there to be.
+Dying in one of the wings can mean a very difficult corpse run, as the keys necessary to get back to your corpse will be on the corpse itself.  This can be mitigated by either running near one of the pit traps when you're about to die (so your corpse can be pulled through the basement), or instructing your cleric to camp somewhere safe while the rest of the party roots what they can and dies as slowly as possible.

 '''Note:''' Although you will take VS faction hits here, the mobs are not actually on VS faction, and so it is not possible to be non-KOS in this zone. [http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40260]

+Zoning out: The only way to zone out of Howling Stones without a spell (Gate, port) is a portal behind a locked door with no key in the very back of the East Wing. This zone out portal drops you at -96, 796 in The Overthere ( at the entrance to the Scorpikis temple that the HS orb is in). If you're not Invis when you zone out there's a pretty good chance you will be attacked and harm-touched by [[A scorpikis]].
