Mind that the mobs respawn really fast, so if you're doing this solo watch your back.

He's inside the building in the far SW corner. 56/55.
The spawns in this dungeon are kinda broken, especially when players are running in and then stealthing to avoid fighting them. Even with shackle undead I was being swarmed by 4+ mobs and died twice. The ghosts can shoot through walls so hiding around corners to avoid dps only hurts your LOS.

Description
We have been trying to clear out the Cursed Depths cellblock since we landed on Tol Barad. It seems that everytime we get close, that archmage shows up and pushes us back. Now that we have claimed the island, it's time we take another shot. Head down there and bring me back his staff as proof that you have finished the job.
