Hello there,I have been searching for the gnolls required for the monk headband quest in South Karana. I have ran into many monks that have not been able to find these guys. I have had many friends with the trackng skill to see if they can find these guys. No one can find them any more. So i started checking other message boards. I have seen that this is an issue in all servers it seems like. I am sure it has something to do with the up and coming war. The gnolls are gathering to attack Qeynos and what not. I am going to start searching other zones for these guy but it would be nice if it was mentined by the quest giver or some how communicated. I know the point of quest is to search for your prey but when the prey we used to search for gets taken out or moved a little hint would be nice so we don't waste alot of time campng an area where they don't roam in any more. I have an idea maybe where they are but I was wondering if you could at least give some sorta hint to where these guys have gone too. THANKS
Well after much searching and repoping of zones we have finally found that the mobs are completely missing.
One of our developers is working on putting those npc's back. I will post when it will be patched.
Thank you everyone for all the input and information, it made tracking down this problem much easier.

Moving the named gnoll mobs into South Karana was never that great an idea, as it took a zone with too many rare spawns as it is and made it even worse. Ah, for the good old days when the shamans were found inside Paw. I sat outside one of those rooms for three days waiting for that sucker to pop.
Kudos to all those monks who continue to do the headband/sash quests in hopes of attaining the Robe of the Lost Circle, even though Verant has provided a l33t workaround that they refuse to fix. I say that if they can put in a quest for Ghoulbane then they can add an Iksar-specific quest for the RotLC and make Brothers Qwinn and Zephyl stop dropping their loot. They are, unless I am horribly mistaken, the only quest mobs in the game who drop their quest reward when killed without giving any negative faction hit whatsoever.
Anyway, thanks, Ester, for working on this problem.
