Killing the water elemental first and then killing the named npc will allow him to drop the stone

This quest leads to another:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10256 (Finding the Keymaster)

Comment by decker12

Spawns about every 5 minutes and makes a bee line right down the hill when he spawns. So if you see his corpse and there's several people about, make sure you clear all the conjurers, or they'll frostbolt you and make it hard to catch and tag him.

Comment by Murcielago

the coords are right for his spwan 57,65. the easy way to kill him with no agro is to wait for him to move from a camp to another because there are passage ways between them thats your best chance.

get the quest item after you kill him and summon the image of the mage

You must kill the water elemental first. I just waited for him to spawn 3 times because I didn't realize until it was way to late.

Glacius = Frost dude from Killer Instinct. =)

Comment by Miyari

There seems to be some confusion regarding Summoner Kanthin and his elemental so hopefully this will clear everything up.

It does not matter whether you kill the Summoner or Glacius first, as long as you are on the quest he will always drop the Stone of Glacius. If you do kill the Summoner first, the elemental will not despawn, so you'll either have to kill it or run away and leash it.

They're both rather easy mobs and it is possible to ranged pull the Summoner and his pet at a few locations throughout his patrol; I did so from near one of the Manaforge's entrances. Summoner Kanthin casts fire-based spells (such as Fireball and Pyroblast) and the water elemental will just beat on you in melee range for about 250 physical damage (on cloth).

The elemental will from now on despawn when you've killed Summoner Kanthin. :)

Quest easy as pie!

Comment by Catriona

Five minutes ago the elemental despawned the second I killed the summoner.

Comment by 750237

Glacius did not despawn once Kanthin was killed. But he did die very quickly after.

Comment by saeid

Use : /target Summoner Kanthin
and kill him
loot him

Comment by kyomi7502

Does completing this quest destroy Archmage Vargoth's Staff? I remember there was a quest that you could abandon and it wouldn't destroy it.

Comment by Demiona

The quest marker on the ingame map is misleading. Summoner Kanthin is not inside the building, nor does he spawn on the spot he's marked at. He patrols on the road in front of Manaforge Duro, loosely in the area shown on the map above.

1. Summoner Kanthin's Prize
• Accept the quest, Summoner Kanthin's Prize, from the Image of Archmage Vargoth (you can summon him by clicking on the Archmage Vargoth's Staff, you were provided).
• Travel to the northwest side of Manaforge Duro to the area of coords 57, 63.
• Kill Summoner Kanthin, and loot Stone of Glacius from his corpse (he could also be located south at 57, 65, or east at 59, 62).
• Turn in the quest by using your Archmage Vargoth's Staff, to summon the Image of Archmage Vargoth.

NOTE: If you have Archmage Vargoth's Spare Staff in your collection, you can use this to summon Image of Archmage Vargoth.

Thank you Elfizm for this information

Summoner Kanthin's Prize

Defeat Summoner Kanthin at Manaforge Duro, on the island to the north of Sunfury Hold, and reclaim the Stone of Glacius from him.

	Stone of Glacius (1)

Provided item:

	Archmage Vargoth's Staff (1)

Description

The next thing we must do is reclaim my familiar, Glacius, from the blood elf summoner who holds it captive. Summoner Kanthin was one of the most senior magisters in the force Kael'thas sent to decimate Kirin'Var. It's only natural that he would claim my familiar as a kind of trophy.

I'm certain that Kanthin, fool that he is, has tried to compel Glacius to serve him. My scrying has revealed that Kanthin is now stationed at 'Manaforge Duro,' if that terminology has any meaning for you.
