Miscellaneous: Faydedar should be aggroed and killed by 'an iksar master' when he paths by his hill.

Kite him around and rally your forces. Once everyone is in the zone you can pull him to the chessboard and let them take him down. If you die do not worry as he will return to the spires first. Then you have 2 hours once again before he wanders to the iksar master in the zone that will kick his butt. Thats right. If his AGRO list is clear then he will only live for 2 hours. After 2 hours have passed he will run into the Iksar master and the Iksar MAster wins....go figure.

Abasor the problem is not that he is not spawning. The problem is that:
A) he spawns so rarely
B) when he does he is only up for 2 hours (if C does not happen)
c) He is killed by the iksar master that he is on a path to

A) The reason he spawns so rarly is that he is in a zone that is repoped so much, this is because the boats are contantly getting stuck, basicly druids are getting robbed on there chance to kill him due to Verants poor coding.


Not only this but it takes about half an hour to even get on the boat to go there, so just forming the raid ready to go will cutt you so close to his despawn time.

B) Why is this the only dragon in kunark on a timer to respawn? the only reaon I can think of is to keep druids from getting there epics.


C) Why is this the only dragon that is on a pathing course to die to a NPC when he is up. Only reason I can thing of is the same as B.

Its Feydedar and hes often soloed by the Iksar NPC which is in his roaming
path sooner or later.

He also likes to KS Faydedar if you bring the squid too close. Iksar Master >>> Faydedar.

Pretty sure this is known and previously reported. "Mob Fight" leads to... let's say, less than savory exploits.

Think they still fight on P99 and the claim is just that Fay should path into him naturally?

Yeah he's definitely not pathing close enough like he obviously did in-era.

I can find no previous bug report discussing this topic.

Maybe also an aggro range issue? The master is described as aggroing while Fay is still in the water, which seems pretty far. Presumably his aggro range shouldn't intersect with the bloated belly though or you'd see complaints about it.

This guy soloes the Faydedwar 2 hours after it pops... What happens is when the zone repops after a patch or what not, the faydedwar (lvl 61 sea dragon) pathing causes it to run close to the iksar master, at which time he promptly runs off of his perch and starts to beat the crap out of it...

Its really a site to see, The Faydedwar deathmarching while Iksar master quads for 370's on em, then casually walks back to his lil mountain perch with 1/2 health or so, EVERY SINGLE TIME, this guy soloes the Faydedwar, otherwise i wouldnt be able to use my beloved TD firepots...

How do i know he soloes faydedwar? well two of my main char are iksar, and everytime i go to the firepots i stop by and say hi. One day i was training with my monk with this guy and as im training iksar master bolts to the right side of the island, and faydedwar comes out of the water and BAM! they collide, Faydedwar does some AE's and iksar master continues to wail away with quads from around 200-370 dmg a punch, flying kicks for around 300 or so.... the battle lasts around 5-6 minutes with the Iksar master beating the crap outta the oversized fish... This happens approx. 2 hours after any zone repop in TD.

I'm admittedly not sure why this would be the case, but it seems like the Magelo kill map might indicate the correct path around the island src: https://eq.magelo.com/npc/380742 (need login) -

Sounds like Fay's spawn point and path should also be static? I'm under the impression that isn't the case on P99, but I might just be bad at pulling Fay.
