Strategy:

Bougart's Cave is located at 32k, 51k Boreal, on the island of Mesos  He seems to spawn about every 8 hours, maybe longer.  Bougart is a low-purple crocodile, surrounded by yellow-con grouhnord crocodiles
(about 10).  Inside the cave there is a field that absorbs magical damage of all kinds -- poisons, spells, and even bleeds, also possibly weapon-style effects.  Powerful debuffs (like stealther str/con debuff poison) have a limited effect on the yellow-cons, allowing them to be slightly damaged by magic.  They have NO effect on Bougart.  If you attempt to engage bougart through the cave wall, he will dodge all of your blows but still hit you.

I was able to do this with a stealther-bot duo.  The tactic is to stand in the door and get him to aggro you, and fight in the door while healer heals from well outside the cave (and thus will avoid aggro).  The
fighter will occasionally pick up yellow-con grouhnards as they aggro from inside or outside the cave -- just kill them and move back to Bougart.  Bougart is tough but only hits in the 200-300 range, so no sweat if your tank has adequate defense.

The Eerie Darkness Lighting Stone is not a guaranteed drop.  I killed Bougart 7-8 times before getting the drop.  If you don't get the Stone, you'll get a medium-crappy RoG piece of armor (at least that's what I've
gotten so far).  Haven't been able to activate it yet, useable by anyone.    Nov 22

Tips:

To get the gator to purge all his adds simply send a pet in to attack him and wait for the pet to die.  Once the pet dies the croc will purge all his adds and you simply go to the top and start whacking on him.  You’ll only get 1 add the entire time you’re whacking on him.   Jan 5

The named croc, Rougart, on the Island (34K 50K) in Borel dropped the artifact ( though he did not drop it the 1st time I killed em )
He was purp to me, and has a bunch of pesky yellow crocs around him, did with a BM / Bard combo.
Yea he is tricky to do with just a bot, nice thing about him is, he will not leave his cave. So if you get a few yellows adds that you can't handle you can back off the cave and kill the yellows, then go back to Named.

I finally got the stone after killing the croc about 8 times with a warrior and bot. Not easy to do since you will usually have 4-10 yellow adds, but it is doable. BTW, the croc is 100% resistant to magic...which I found out the hardway.   Nov 18

He's on the island right next to the seed quest in the Den - Location of the seed island is 35000 35000, Boreal. Easy to find from there. It's the only other island you can see. Named croc in boreal

Crafters Pages for the Eerie Darkness Lighting Stone Competed story reads as follows, also attached is a screen shot.
 
The Crafter's Pages on Lightstones reads, "The Lightstone will allow citizens to cary a small gem or stone to light their way at night. Also, these gems and stones could be places where many travel at night, to light their paths. The lightstone can be made of the most precious gems or the most common of stones, making it affordable and practical for all Atlanteans.  They are easy to make and should replace the larger crystals that currently are common."
 
The Crafter's Pages on Lightstones reads, "I have been making lightstones for oh, five years now. And in my five years never have i failed so awfully at making of one.  Oh yes, there were those lightstones that were note crafted well enough in the first days, but that is to be expected. This, this is just strange, I have made a lightstone that takes light! What a miserable failure. I'm embarrassed to even confess to my crafter's pages that I made such a thing! What a strange property!
 
The Crafter's Pages on Lightstones reads, "How ironic that a lightstone would take all the light from a room unto itself! I have brought it here, to the planes, and i have tossed it in a dark place. I sall toss the pages of my journal there, as well, lest anyone discover my page and learn I am the one who crafed the lightstone that would swallow light.  Dec 24
