View Full Version : CALL FOR HELP: Lich of Miragul

I'm a level 30 shaman - I've been running around the Everfrost cave since yesterday trying to get the glacial bear to spawn so I can get my totemic helm (I've been running around getting all the quest items for all the totemic). No luck yet - killed a ton of ice bone skeletons, but didn't even see any wandering skeletons, which are supposed to be placeholders for the bear.

Until tonight. I saw an ice bone skeleton, started killing it, and next thing I see is "Lich of Miragul starts to cast a spell". Suddenly I'm getting owned by a red-con necromancer and his pet. After running around and floundering for a bit, I died.

Respawn, get my corpse, decide to log for a few hours. Come back on, see another wandering skeleton, start killing it, look around extra-carefully, no lich in sight ... and the same thing happens. I run around for like 5 minutes (I have SoW) bitching in the IRC and in /ooc, looking for someone to save me, and ultimately resign myself to my fate and let him kill me again (I couldn't zone out since I'd have to swim, and I couldn't gate out since I wouldn't have the time to channel it). Except this time Uthgaard's nice enough to rez me and turn me into a jack o lantern (http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/3596/eq000002.gif).

Which I certainly appreciate, except this lich is still running around potentially hogging my bear placeholders. Apparently the lich is needed for some sweet paladin quest, and I wouldn't want to deprive any paladins of their spawn which is several times rarer than my bear spawn, so this is an alert and a plea to anyone who IS a high level paladin or KNOWS a high level paladin: your lich has spawned! PLEASE KILL THAT ASSHOLE.

I approve of this message. Hell, RANTS & FLAMES approves of this massage! Somebody go massage Miragul so he stops being an asshol.e.

Killed my bear (http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/7573/eq000003.gif) and got my pelt. Of course, I got jumped again by the Lich of Miragul on the way out, but at least I'm done with that cave. I swear he must walk around invisible or something with how many times he's come out of nowhere; usually I'm pretty good about avoiding random aggro. Now I just need to get a few more pieces, make some medium banded, and I'll be all set.

Interestingly, this time, his pet was an enchanter pet instead of a skeleton. Actually, I think it might've been a skeleton just before he aggroed me and then he summoned an enchanter pet when he aggroed.

I think the lore is he knows all the int caster spells. Someone had explained it on Allakhazam when I looked it up.

Honestly that cave is a nightmare for any mid level shaman. You need fucking binoculars to see his aggro range.

Yipes, that would explain it. I would say "pack a few IVU potions" but there are placeholder ice bone skeletons (I think) that need to be killed for the bear to spawn sometimes, so you're still liable to get owned by the lich. I guess the solution is just to let paladins know when the lich spawns so they can kill him for you.

Given I hunted the bear a number of times on Live, this doesn't seem right. However, here's what I always did:

1. Sit in the tunnel you enter the maze from (after you swim) as far away from the corridor that mobs wander through as possible - max casting distance.
2. If you see an IBS wander by, cast a DoT on it and kill. You now have 6.5 or 7.5 (don't remember) hours til the Bear spawns
3. If you see a Lich wander by, don't cast on it, it'll kill you :)

Don't enter the halls of the maze, you don't need to and you'll likely die from the Lich or some other mob (I did go in once and I got nuked by something other than the Lich (a wizzie?) and had to get a drag out by a high level guildy)

I did this about 5 times on Live for myself and guildies and never had any problems aggroing the Lich, so it's aggro radius here must be way different than Live...

Regards,

Try reading mine, idiot. You had SoW. You were fully able to get enough separation to gate. I've done it any number of times.

But hey, I guess it's just not possible.
