Traditionally, a will o wisp is a wandering soul, or spirit. Souls and spirits being undead... so why aren't Wisps undead? I don't know. But I keep having to remind myself that they're a living creature according to Verant. *sigh*
"Hate! I'm you hate! I'm your hate when you want love. Pay! (pay) Pay the price, pay for nothing's fair." --Metallica, Sad but True
According to the D&D version of the will o'wisp, They are entities made of energy. Where Verant DID mess up however, is that wisps are typically evil, and feed off electrical discharges of foe's brains, given off when a foe is inevitably faced before death. Also, wisps live only near swamps, not woodlands. I don't know where you heard that wisps are undead, but i see no reason of why it should be...
The other day i was medding and one seemed to come thru the wall and attakced me, here's the catch it was invis if my pet had not been there to find it it may have killed me anyway this happend when i was lv 8 almost got killed Undeadkeeper lv 14 nec

Posted:Jul 19 2001 at 7:54 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) there are two types of will o wisps and the kind that loot the GLS do not spawn in EC sorry. you can however get burned out and reg lightstones from the ones in EC!!
I sold one for 40pp. It had been given to me and I had no magic weapons to get another. I sold it anyways. At lvl 9 it tripled my cash! Someone must've been desperate.
You're not kidding! Eight to ten plat would be a prime price; I've bought them for 5 and 6 pp frequently. But maybe a higher-level caster needed to get his research practice tome and didn't feel like waiting.
On E'ci, these are sold for 5pp, tops... Heh - a guy was trying to buy one in EK for that, when NK and the 10pp quest mentioned above was a 2min walk away =)
On my home server of Prexus, you'll usually see these go for 7pp almost every time... or you can do the gypsy quest mentioned above, which gives nice exp and cash. If you've got the cash, sit around the wisp island buying GLSs for 7pp each, then go back here for easy cash and exp. :)
They drop lightstones and Greater light stones both of which can be GIVEN not sold to a gypsie in NK. cant remember her name but it starts with Mry..... When you give the greater light stone you get XP and a Concordence of reserch book thingy ) which I sell back to here for 9p 7g ( my CHA = 114 ) not bad for killing fuzzballs )
I have to agree playing my High Elf Cleric, I've only had the opportunity to kill two in Gfay.
On another note, if you do decide to hunt wisps in WC, EC, ect, best time to locate them is at night...just look for a glowing patch that is moving. In the day, your only hope to find them is to run around the tollbooth...
They're actually quite plentiful in Greater Fay - you've just gotta know how to look for them and the best way is to pay a young Ranger 1pp a pop to track them down for you, or just let him join you (assuming you're earning XP for them and the level difference isn't extreme) and let him work for XP and 1 or 2 gold a pop.
The most plentiful place I have seen Willowips so far, as I have not been to Willowisp Isle yet is in West Commons. By the inn with the 2 dwarves there is a hill to the left, as your facing the toll both, that genrelly the wisps hang around. Being a Paladin, I generally cast flash of light on the nearest one and let it run around blind for a little bit. Nine times out of ten the willowisp brings along another friend or 2 along with it. At level 16, i got a little exp from killing a wisp, but frankly I'm in it for the loot. Of 2 hours hunting wisp's I eneded up with about 10 lightstones and 4 GLS's, countless burned out lighstone (I destroy these as soon as I get them). One word of advice, put all your looted lightstones in a bag or backpack at night so that you can see the wisps better.
