Description

There are maximum two heretics up at any given time. Respawn time is one hour for each spawn (i.e. they are separate spawns). They share the spawn table with Jelquar the Soulslayer, meaning that if Jelquar is up there can only be one heretic invader up and the quest will be more dangerous since Jelquar is higher level and can see through invis.

Location:
Once a heretic has spawned it will instantly start to wander. The path seems to be different every time. They seem to wander indefinitely only stopping a few seconds now and then when changing direction. Tracking is highly recommended.

I found them in the middle/southern part of the zone and mostly on the eastern side. Mostly found them within the following area:

East of xxxx, 2000
West of xxxx, -3000
South of 0, xxxx (however found a couple at 400, xxxx)
North of -3000, xxxx (however found one close to the dock once)

Attacks:
They cast harm touch (ca 250 hp), disease cloud, syphon strength and lifetaps.

Notes:

To avoid the HT, do one of below:
- Keep the mob at a distance since the HT has a short range
- Send a charmed pet
- Attack a heretic that has used its HT recently on another mob or player
I heard that if grouping with a high level character, the head will NOT DROP.
The heretics are attacked and sometimes killed by other mobs. I've only seen them be attacked by tigers.
