Coin: Search for the Merchant  

First step is now talk to Scout Irfam at -882, -132, -300

Guess this quest has been changed up somewhat. Really don't know. What I do know is the frst step requires one to speak to a Scout Arfam, located approx. at -1438.64,-229.89.-3.12.

The Monster Involved is not theEye of Anuk

It is Anuk's Reanimated Corpse


not that it matters, just thought i'd put my 2 copper in

I found that to get the update after killing the corpse, that I had to climb back up the chimney.

The reward for this is 8gp, 83sp and +7500 status (-7500 for Blades/Truth).

I jump into water to get to Eye of Anuk, instead of climbing down, as I havent got the hang of climbing down yet ;)
So, I inspected the bones at -638, -229, -1156 of the EYE and it says Akuf's bones are nearby, and they are at the cave entrance NE of the Eye, loc -749, -233, -1250. Killed it and didn't get an update, so I decided to climb out and when I got back to the desert, my journal updated to go back and search for Akuf.
So, in order to get the 1st update, you need to go to the chimney, then kill the walking corspe of Akuf.
If you are in a group doing this, each person needs to do it, everyone will not get the update at the same time. Respawn is about 10 minutes.
