First off, you dont mess with icy servants without everyone in your group having 150+ cold resist or having multiple slaughter groups.

There are two different icy servants... most are level 51ish? The two that guard the shimmering sea serpent pool at the siren temple are lvl 54 / 55.

AE every 15 seconds or so, 500dmg with dispel (vox clone)... Doesn't really affect you if you have a crew that can resist or put the mob down very fast (5+ melee and a wizard or two)

They all hit pretty hard, approx 157s to 170s? /shrug I haven't messed with these guys too much. They drop the same stuff the seahorses drop, no kelp.

The walruses, manatees drop absolutely nothing and are better left alone. The Enthralled Bulthors, Moltors and Ulthorks drop 3+ gems everytime. Random chance to get very rare velious quest gem. Ive had Crushed Black marble and Crushed Flame emerald drop off one moltor before. Common gems are onyx, pearls, crushed nephrite, crushed chrisolite, and flawed emerald (velious quest gem). All other gems are random drops. They also drop Netted Kelp armor which is fairly good twink armor and great +int and +SV fire for the higher levels. Although having your CHA over 200 is a plus for all you chanters who wear this since it gives - in CHA. it gives +4 or higher stamina also depending on which piece. The Icy servants should really not be messed with unless you are on a guild raid with 2+ grps. It took them around 10 seconds to kick my 54 warriors ass with 1000 ac and 2500 hp unbuffed. but that was with 3 other icys and around 8 siren enticers. the icys hit me for max of 110 but extremely fast and that triple 500 AE every second or so from all 3 was hell. also the nukes from the sirens hurt. Dont expect to pull any of these Icy servants unless your expecting to get 8+ MoBs with it.

The horses are nice pulling if you have the melee power for them. Me and a 60 warrior did them and it took 5 mins per horse. although we I had 4200 hp buffed and she had 5010 and 1400 ac. they give good xp and the rare drop of that 20 ac cloak is worth it. I hope this clears stuff up on SG and it is a really great zone to hunt in with a grp.

Neriad shawl dropped randomly from a Neriad Mermaid, not sure if Mistresses drop them. Mistresses drop gems up to Blue diamonds and diamonds. And up to 4 pieces of cash loot at once. Mistress hit me for over 290 quad at times very fast. Maidens i can solo easily.


Grats rot on shawl btw.

Every seahorse in SG (using a 200 tracking skill) conned even at lev 53. Straight melee mobs, hard hitters, a lot of hit points, no surprises.
They can't be rooted or snared ("cannot change the run speed" message), and will try and run when badly hurt, but move at a crawl. Whether this is because of the water or a recent patch change I'm not sure.
Moderately strong against magic, fairly strong against fire. They can be mezzed and slowed, but it can take awhile due to resistances.

Seems like this is a Cleric mob. Did a wrath of god on me for 600+ damage, hit for 120 to 270 damage AFTER being slowed by the enchanter. NOT an easy kill took our group 3x tried to pull and sucessfully kill her. The warrior have almost 4500 Htps (with Aegolism) with 1300 AC. We have to Complete Heal him 5x and Lvl 60 druid's heal 7x with several other heal over time so as not aggro the mob. I found her spawn in the SG zone in the tower. This is the first time I seen her on track and she is YELLOW to me at 60. She drop a Blue Diamond, a no-drop earing AC 2, Stam 9, Wis 2, Int 2, tiny, All All NO DROP, LORE - Siren Hair Earing, and a sapphire necklace worth about 166pp. Good luck to all who venture into SG.

The well isn't bad if you pull it from the bottom. Invis down, go to
the 4-way and pull the upper rooms to there intially. I always thought
SG was one of the coolest zones for a dungeon crawl. Pick a corridor
at random and see where you end up <g>. Pretty much light blue at 53
though, one of those zones I miss not being able to exp in any more.
