He spawns at (44, 69) right in front of the Blacksmith building in Moonbrook, perhaps every five minutes.

Comment by CT91

He respawns after someone has killed him, the respawn rate isn't time based.

I always find him by starting at Jangolode Mine, follow the road south, take a quick look at the entrance to the cave at the Gold Coast Quarry and then back to the road again down to Moonbrook.
If you haven't found him by then he's probably dead and will respawn in front of the Blacksmith.

where does he spawn?

Comment by Thottbot

how long respawn rating does this guy have and where does he spawn and cordinates?

Comment by Thottbot

On the mysterious letter it says "a shipment is due from BB" does this mean that the goblins that are working for the Defias brotherhood are actually steemwheedle?A mysterious message

Comment by Thottbot

in case you're competing with others for him when he spawns, the exact coordinates of his spawn point are 44, 69. That's right in front of the blacksmith for those without a coordinate mod installed.

Comment by Thottbot

log is correct.Read it, then do what it says-patrol the ROAD between moonbrook and the mine in the north,hes there.Saw him just a few yards north of moonbrook, and hes yellow by default so he wont attack you if you dont first.
For some reason, this guy is immune to hamstring.I clearly saw it on him, and he just ran along almost dead!Had to shoot him with my gun...

Comment by Allakhazam

spawns right on the road at town where it turns north twords caves. Spawn time about 3-5 mins

Comment by Allakhazam

He Spawns in Moonbrook, just outside the blacksmith.

Comment by Allakhazam

I was killing looters and pillagers..All the sudden he runs at me saying that he has a important message for me and that it was that I was going to die.. then he started running and he died. I didnt even hit him. I am not overly sure what happened here but it was odd lol

Comment by Allakhazam

I can confirm that he spawns in moonbrook, right outside the blacksmith.

Comment by Allakhazam

Moonbrook seems to be constantly camped... so is is hard to grab him when he first spawns. I have better luck catching him right outside the Gold Coast Quarry.Just go inside from the East and he will run and out of the Quarry.
Loc 31, 42.

Comment by Allakhazam

The coords are 47, 70. As you enter Moonbrook, the Smithy is the second house on the left. If you kill the Defias around the first building, there may not be any in the Smithy so you might just be able to stand on the entrance ramp of the Smithy and watch the road in front. The Messenger spawns just to the right of the broken lamp and starts down the road toward the Quarry.

I killed this guy like 8 times last night. He basically runs from the quary to the defias level 13 mine. I think it is called goldmine. If you hang out at the entrences to either of these places you will see him multiple times.

When he gets low on health he takes off and he runs fast so have a gun or be ready to run. He is fairly easy to kill unless and he loves doing this he jumps you from behind as you are fighting 4 other mobs.

He will backstab. Has low hp and if you attack him is not an issue for anyone 13+. He dropped a nice sword once that isn't listed here. Dps was around 10.8.

I pick-pocketed the Defias Messenger and saw an item called "Empty Coin Purse" but he moved away from me before I could loot it... anyone know what this is used for?

Comment by str4t

Respawn time is 5 minutes in classic.

Comment by Nidus

If you havent seen him around and have waited for the respawn for more than 5-10 min and he still isnt there... Go back and check INSIDE the Jangolode Mine... took me a while to figure out he actually goes in there.

Comment by Karatar

After you turn in the quest, the next one isn't given by Gryan Stoutmantle. The next quest (The Defias Brotherhood) in the chain is given by The Defias Traitor, who spawns behind you and may or may not be present when you turn in. Just wait nearby for him to spawn.

Comment by Acann

He respawns in front of the blacksmith in Moonbrook after 5 minutes.

Comment by Christianlw

after leaving moonbrook he walks on the west road to gold coast quarry then to jangolode mine

Comment by kishery

Just some notes!

Neutral NPC. Can be targeted with /target Defias Messenger
Spawns in front of the Blacksmith 5 Minutes after death.
Walks from Moonbrook to Gold Coast Quarry
Walks from Gold Coast Quarry to Jasperlode Mine
During off peak, always check Jasperlode Mine too

Good luck!

Comment by mathepan

If you are in a low pop server or in a time when not much people are online, consider read this.

I waited him to respawn for 1h in the blacksmith of Moonbrook and he didn't respawn. The thing is while he's patrolling he does not got back into Moonbrook, actually I think he don't even pass the crossroad of Moonbrook, so you will not see him if you camp in the blacksmith while he's alive.

Just pointing this so others might go ahead and look for him in the roads instead of just wait like I did.

Comment by Obolox

Finally found him at the Gold Coast Quarry and he dropped nothing...

Comment by Tildy

is a more precise spawn location than I see in other posts. This might be useful for those who need to tag him quickly but have no instant damage ranged abilities. You should be in melee range of him at that location.

Comment by LoKHor

When this guy runs into the Gold Coast Quarry, he enters the cave and goes to the back, then says, "The boss wants all hands on high alert. The rusty anchor sinks tonight." Then he walks back out. It doesn't take long for him to come back out, so if you don't meet him on the road, it might pay to way at the quarry for a few minutes to see if he went into the cave.

Comment by Boosticuff

Respawn timer is 4 minutes 15 seconds. The body despawned after 2 minutes.

Comment by StuInABowl

He does not despawn when he gets to the mine. I would start at the mine and work your way to moonbrook

Comment by Lourss

When reaching the end of the cave at Gold Coast Quarry he announces:

"The boss wants all hands on high alert. The rusty anchor sinks tonight".
