Vidalf, a named Host of the Wind (looks like a Huldu) , spawns near the "Host of the Earth" spawn spot and sometimes runs around with Vefyn. Orange to me at 10. He is known to wander A LOT. Vidalf drops a Windchimes Necklace.

Both Vidalf and Vefyn make a large circuit of the area around the lake -- and at one point, through the lake. So, if you hang around any one of the locs mentioned above, you'll probably see them pass by. I didn't time the loop, but I would imagine it was about 12 minutes for one circuit.

Here's the circuit, beginning at the point where both of them exited the lake:

- Exit lake approx 9430, 46200 heading North
- Continue north until they were just west of the Svart Camp (not the farm, but the camp)loc approx 7400, 32000;
- Then they turned south-southeast for a looonnnnggg leg. Passing pine imps, hosts of the earth, and the Svart Farm (on left) and lake (to the right). If you find a spot mid-way between the Farmhouse and the lake, you should spot them traveling by. End of this leg is on the side of the mtn at about 23300, 58800;
- Then, they turned due west along the mountain and traveled to loc 7400, 56700 (more or less), at which point they turned due north...
This heading took them down to the lake, then through it to the starting point...

A final point - neither Vefyn or Vidalf stopped at all during my tag-alongs. They just kept motoring along. Therefore, any mob that's parked probably isn't Vidalf.

Approximate Loc:
  • 6400, 56000

  • 6600, 55000

  • 14900, 50900

  • 15000, 51000

  • 16418, 46656

  • 20000, 50000

  • 20600, 59900

  • 22000, 56000


  • Reward:
      Windchimes

    First of all, Vidalf is a Host of the Wind, not an Imp. This is only significant becauses Hosts cast a searing wind (which contributed to my untimely demise on one occasion) and Imps do not. Keep it in mind when you attack. Vidalf was Orange as well to me(a Thane)at Level 10.

    Having read the list of possible spawn locations noted in the entry for Vidalf, I figured the best way to discover where he starts and where he ends up was to tag along. So I planned to auto follow Vidalf. However, after waiting for quite a bit, Vefyn showed up and I decided to follow him. Afterwards, I auto-followed Vidalf and found that, on this occasion, both traveled an identical route.(You see, I have no life, so I have time to do stuff like this :)

    Both Vidalf and Vefyn make a large circuit of the area around the lake -- and at one point, through the lake. So, if you hang around any one of the locs mentioned above, you'll probably see them pass by. I didn't time the loop, but I would imagine it was about 12 minutes for one circuit.

    Here's the circuit, beginning at the point where both of them exited the lake:

    Man, this one was tough for me.

    I hunted him for a couple of hours. I was fighting a yellow wind wisp around 14900, 50900 (east shore of lake) when guess who walks by? I finished the combat and followed him, but my health and endurance were low so I had to rest, follow, rest, follow, etc. I followed him to 20600, 59900 (cliffside SE of where I first spotted him) where he finally stopped. I hit the key to go into stealth mode for my backstab -- and went link dead. *sigh*

    I hunted for another half hour or so. I had snuck up behind another yellow wind wisp around 6400, 56000 (south shore of lake) and had just hit the key for my backstab, when he walks by again. Dammit! I watched him walk into the lake while I finished the combat. I tried to find him by swimming into the lake, and couldn't.

    I hunted for another half hour, cursing loudly, and finally found him on the south shore, once again headed for the lake. I didn't take the time for backstab since I was afraid of losing him again. He conned yellow (I'm a level 10 Shadowblade) and I was able to finish him without the critical strikes. Lotta time invested for +4 Quickness. I wish the rest of you better luck :)

    I should also mention that after that long ordeal, I spotted him again almost immediately at 15K, 51K (east shore of lake again) headed SE.
    Found him

    I found Vidalf near 20k, 50k. Orange to me at 10 - I managed to solo him as a 10 Troll Shaman! Got the Windchimes.

    we found Vidalf... he seemed to be running together with vefyn from the host of the earth house to the mountain...

    but even the level 10 people got the necklace, so this is not a level 11 quest, but maybe already level 10...

    As you go from West Svealand to Gotar there's that little run of road between water on your left and mountain on your right. Just hug the mountains (zone wall) on your right as you go south and you'll eventually come to a small lake. In and around the lake are nackens and at the northern end are wind wisps. Vidalf wanders around there.

    But i found him running around 6600, 55000. He was blue to me at Lvl 14 Skald.
