I'm finally on my last part or close to it but I can't find the wiseman in the Wasteland. I looked up the quest on Stratics which was very helpful and got me most of the way through it. But I still haven't been able to find him. Any help will be appreciated.
Could they make these things any worse? I'm so glad they have that dimensional diamond thing for the escape scrolls, sheesh.
The wiseman is a hard one to find, but he is about 1/3 to halfway up to the ant nest from the southern entrance to the wasteland between two columns of rock on the east side.
To find Wiseman Casian.
That has been the question on the minds of countless people for centuries.
He is a tricky one to find, that old Casian, but there is hope for you yet, my friend.
First of all, you need to port yourself to the Southern Entrance to the Wastelands. There you will find a small group of traders. You will venture north into these forbidding lands, and you will come across monsters of many types who all want your head in a bowl.
As you enter the Wastelands, you should continue heading to the north. Keep your eyes open tho, because Casian hides in a cleft in the rocks there. He is a short way to the north, and on the right hand side. There are a couple of trees, dead to say the least, that mark the cleft he hids in. Also, there are special skeletons there. They are quest mobs, and he hides behind them counting the days til the winds die in the Wastelands, and he is free to roam the world again.

This is indeed the easiest way to find him. Just keep looking for these Quest mobs on your right as you continue north from the southern entrace to the wastelands. try to keep yourself failry close to the ridge line while your doing this. If your too far from the ridge you may not see these mobs.
I think you can, There used to be 2 ports, one from Gludin and one from Gludio. I believe that they removed one of them. There should still be one, since the Black Judge is there and those traders, that are part of some quests as I recall.
Finding Casian is easy to do, once you've done it. If the port to the Southern Wasteland Entrance is gone, get there anyway you can, because instructions on getting to Casian from the north are too hard to write on paper... err.. websites...
Starting at the Southern entrance, go almost straight north. Note: ALL the mobs you see except 'Quest Monster' mobs are aggro.
You quickly descend two gentle slopes to a large, flat area with non-Quest skeletons (avoid them.) It is the 'ridge' of this area someone told you stay close to the right edge of, not the ridge of the entire wasteland area.
Bear slightly right (east) as you continue across the flat area. You will reach the 'Quest Monster' mobs. Just to the north should be a gully, and across it, a fallen statute. Don't cross the gully. Go east along the southern side of the gully until you encounter a pillar of rocks.
Casian is hiding in an alcove formed by these rocks. Head south along the rocks keeping them on your left, and you will go into the alcove and find him (probably laughing at you.)
Once you've found him, it is easy to get back. Perhaps you will have a better written description on how to do it for others. (I found this guy by accident running from the skellys, and just remembered where he was.)
Many Many thanks. I'll keep this thread up when I check tonight. I saw the quest mobs when I ran around there last night for about and hour. I went in some holes thinking perhaps he was hiding in them but they just lead to ants.
The one thing that the Stratics site helped with is I could get 3-4 escape scrolls at once and just click click click. Don't think I could have done it without that guide, way too annoying.
Once you do find him, make sure you open up your map and take a screenshot of the place, because you're going to become very well acquainted with Cassian over the next 3 levels.
OK the next item, I need enchanted gargoyles. According to the guide they are around the Ivory tower. I went to the tower, below it in the crater/pit and just south of it. I found gargoyles and I found enchanted golems but not enchanted gargoyles. Anyone have a screen capture of their precise location? Everything there is 8 or more levels above me so I'm being really careful where I go.
A little more explanation, to illustrate that screen...
The IT 'pit' has roughly two areas. A north side and a south side. The North side has the two ramps that let you walk in/out while the south side has none.
Mobs on the north side are:
Manashen Gargoyles - Non aggro, but Stun
Enchanted Stone Golems - Non aggro + Windstrike
Enchanted Monster Eyes - Aggro, Windstrike/Slow/Flare
There is one mob that sits between the north and south sides, near it is a quest mob:
Enchanted Iron Golem - Non Aggro + Flamestrike
Ghost Fire: Non Aggro AuraFlare QUEST MOB
On the south side are the last few mobs:
Enchanted Gargoyle - Non Aggro +Stun
Shackle - Aggro + Life Drain
All that remains are some Raid Bosses. So if you see the Manashen Gargoyles, you know that you are too far north and need to work your way around to the south end of the pit. The Enchanted Monster Eye's shouldn't be too hard to handle, but beware the Shackles. They are about the same level as the Enchanted gargoyles and aren't all that clustered, just watch out for their aggro.

Thanks that means I was real close then. I guess I'll thread my way in there again. Thanks again. At this rate I'll be moving right into the next trial as I'm halfway to 37 now.
run north-east from the south entrance a feew mins. hopefully you will se 2 questmobs, skeletons with big swords, casian is hiding about 100 feet after them, between 2 "piles" of rocks. (dont know the english words for it...2 peaks of mountain? >.<)
