Re: 3rd Chardok ring (UNSOLVED)

Confirming Trakanon doesn't always drop sinew. Regular Trakanon didn't have it for us last night [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Re: 3rd Chardok ring (UNSOLVED)

Same with Drusella Sathir, killed her wednesday at around 6.30pm and she didn't drop the urn. Furthermore, we started clearing to her again next day at 6.00pm, and when we got to her room an hour later she hadn't spawned. Went raiding and came back around 11pm, still no Drusella :/ - her spawn time is definitely not 24 hours on the dot.

Drusella Sathir

Unless Drusella was changed in the last few months, she isn't a 24 hour spawn.. she's a regular named spawn with the same spawn time as the rest of Charasis, but with placeholders. That would explain why she wouldn't be up 24 hours later, her placeholder had popped 30 minutes after you killed her last. So stay down there for a while and kill her a few times in one night.

If she did get changed sometime, though, then I'll eat my crow and shuffle off.

Re: Drusella Sathir

Incorrect, Drussila was a regular spawn for about 4 or 5 months after Kunark came out, then around a year ago or so they changed her to a 24 hours spawn

The above stood out to me. Would this line up with moving the Necklace of Superiority from The Kly to Drusella? I can't remember when it switched over on Green.

Re: 3rd Chardok ring (UNSOLVED)

She's obviously not a 24 hour spawn anymore, not on Tribunal at least. Unless a level 55 druid can pull and solo her from zone-in.

Re: 3rd Chardok ring (UNSOLVED)

agreed HS is a great exp place sub 60 away from eggs in VL, spent much time in there, DS does not seem to be a 24 hour spawn but a normal spawn with a ph. Otherwise she should be up quite often though we've never seen her pop on her own. This doesn make sense though, she is not too dificult and is easily killed by 1 group.

Re: [ask] 3rd ring quest

Just did Drusella tonight. No urn. She did not spawn within 2 and a half hours after we killed her. She is spawn 6 in that room. Everything is on a 21 minute-ish timer. We got all 5 spawns multiple times but no Drusella nor ph.

Re: 3rd Chardok ring is shoulders/arms/wrist item (SOLVED)

On Tarew Marr (probably everywhere), Drusella is a 2-2 1/2 day spawn. I know because I killed her 3 straight times and was there =) She has no ph and her room is easier than it looks. Everything in there can be AE mezzed with little difficulty, so just pull the whole damn room at once and work on her. She lifetaps for 280 frequently with melee hits, so be careful. I highly suggest slowing her as much as possible (of course!)...

The only hard part is the "T" intersection before her hallway. Nasty either way you go, so we just Invis Undead and take the long way to save time. Just watch out for The Raid Ender nearby. It's a carpet that someone always falls into, and usually you are so far into East at the time that people get bored and want to end the raid rather than hangout and try again. Mobs will also summon you over the carpet occasionally if you pull them nearby.

Re: Help

Couple of suggested mods:

AoB on this item is giving +13 atk.

Drusella has been a 4 day, almost like clockwork, spawn on Druzzil Ro.

Re: Walkthrough: Chardock Ring Quests

Got my 2nd ring yesterday - got sinew waiting in the bank. Wondering if anybody can answer a few questions:

1) Can anybody confirm that you can turn in the ring to get it recharged?

2) Is there any dialogue you can trigger to get him to say that he can recharge it?

3) What are the faction hits you take for recharge? I read one post where they said it was -BroodOfDizok and another where it said it was +BroodOfDizok.

4) What is the spawn time on Drusella? I've read conflicting reports - 24hrs / normal spawn with ph / 2-3 days etc..

5) Has anybody done extensive hunting in Chardok after getting the ring - and then worked the faction back up? I'm thinking that if the recharge gives +BroodOfDizok that just recharging the ring is an easy way to repair faction. Also wondering about the magnitude of faction hits on mobs like King and Queen.

Thanks.

Re: Walkthrough: Chardock Ring Quests

1 - Yes, done so many many times now.

2 - Don't recall doing any, but I believe his dialogue when you initially recieve it and any subsequent recharged versions indicates this.

3 - +DiZok, -Collective, -MountainDeath

4 - we camped her pretty steady for >2 months on Druzzil, respawn was 4 days, almost to the hour.

5 - It looks like the hit from the ring is about .5 - 1 point of faction one turn in. Killing a regular sarnak while max faction and doing the turn in 5-6 times didn't get me back to max. You could likely get it back, however, if you drop below the initial faction to get the ring, he won't return it to you.

Re: Drusella Sathir...Drop rates of urn?

DS used to have a "regular" rare with a PH, but with the introduction of Vellious, it changed to a 3 day (minus a few hours) spawn time.

Best way to check is to send a rogue to her spot and look-see. 2nd best way, live at the zone in and ask people constantly which wing and her status. That's how I eventually got on her cycle. Once you're on it, you just have to keep doing it and it'll come.

Based on other comments, the above seems inaccurate. Drusella would have switched to a 24 hour static spawn before the +/- 3 day spawn. This comment does reinforce the claim that she started as a regular named w/ placeholder, however.

Re: Drusella Sathir...Drop rates of urn?

Anyone got a spawn time. Had a druid camped at zone in, killed tuesday night at 12pm pst, she didn't repop till 8pm on friday. That's a 68 hour spawn time for one round on Tribunal. Anyone else timed, or just going with the random spawn theory? She sure isn't 24 hours though, and if she is, it's not consistent, cuz i have been in HS saturday and sunday at 8pm pst checking track.

Re: Drusella Sathir...Drop rates of urn?

Here's the lowdown on Spawnrate of Drusella. Spawn has been changed many times since kunark came out...but thanks to the fact she is druid trackable from zone in, here is the deal

The last 3 spawns on tribunal have been....

68 hours

72 hours

68 hours

This is checked every 2 hours from zone in (no i don't sleep much) and Drop rates to this point has been 1 in 4. I wouldn't call it a 25% drop rate quite yet...as this is a low sample #, but i think we can determine that the spawn time is around 3 days +/- a few hours. There is no PH. In the room there is one static undead spawn, and 4 golems w/2-3 roamers. So, i wouldn't recommend camping in her room hoping to clear a PH. You will however, get a couple pairs of ES boots of Mort Protector!

Additional evidence well out-of-era (but before HS revamp)

Re: dotdotdot

what is the spawn time on Drus, i have heard tons of different theories on this. I been told 2 hours with a PH. Is that correct?

Re: dotdotdot

Druss is a 72 hour spawn or vry close to it.

Re: dotdotdot

I just got my urn on saturday.
All 3 times ive killed her since the quest was put in play she droped the urn. There was just always someone there that needed it also, till now. The urn can't be all that rare, that or my trips down there just have been fortunate, and others persons unfortunate.

She is a 3 day spawn. level 60 pulling with sneak dosen't mean bubkus for DS room (with or without her up), bring a FDer or an enchanter who can handel 6ish mezed mobs. Done it with and with out FD person, much easier with....

Edit: Of course all 3 of those times we got the wussy rod of obligations as the item drop from her, 1 kunark spell, the mirror for whatever quest thats for, and of course the urn that I mentioned.

Re: Drusella Sathir's spawn times?

72 hours +/- 10%. She's campable if you know the last death time, I camped out there last saturday night and got her sun morning 71 hours after her last death. (Where she was 5 hours early THAT time.)

Drusella Info Request

I finally got the angry goblin to pop for me and I'm ready to start camping Drusella. Does anybody know if she is trackable from zone? I've heard that she is a 3 day spawn that pops on server up...can anyone confirm this? Any additional info would be greatly appreciated =)

Re: HS

Shes a 3 day spawn (72 hours) with a 7 hour variance. That means she can spawn anywhere from 65 hours to 79 hours from the time she is killed, just like the angry. She can be tracked from zoneline by rangers and druids, but NOT bards. I confirmed this personally when i took her down [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] had both a bard and a druid with me. 1 good group should be able to take her, shes really pretty easy. Only tough part is getting to her. Shes in the east hall, so theres 2 ways to get to her. #1. Get SOE (or sow and lev), and get on the fire pots near the south wing doors. Run real quick over to the east hall, and you should be able to get up. If you can't you have to go through the south hall.

Fuzzy Timeline

- Kunark release to ~mid Kunark/possibly Velious  - Drusella on zone respawn timer (with PH)
- From the above timeframe until Chardok revamp	  - Drusella on 24 hour static timer (No PH)
- Chardok revamp (Oct2001)			  - Drusella on multi-day timer likely with some variance (No PH)
