In this thread from EQ Clerics March, 2001 they discuss some spawn timers and a couple of the portal locations:

EQ Cleric

Racnars, Guardian Wurms and Drakes are indicated as 2-minute spawns.

[nilbog]

-spawn points updated
-spawn time of all the trash is now 2 minutes
-faction of the trash is scowls, but gives faction hits against ringofscale, and assists ringofscale
-faction of dragons is primary ringofscale. they will assist the scowling trash
-lava drakes can now be green, red, or blue
-portals set up as indicated previously: phara dar portal = airplane, nexona = skyfire, xygoz = swampofnohope, druusk = freporte


Now.. some questions about the trash mobs spells and abilities.

http://kob49074.yuku.com/topic/374/VP-Info

Raptor/Rancors:
Appox level is 58
Do Not See Invis
Warrior Class

Notes:
Always 2 near each other. VERY Low aggro radius.


Guardian Wurms:
Level 60
Hit 275-1500 (Depending on Varient)
Caster: - Depends on Varient
See Invis: Depends on Varient

Notes:

Wurms have several Varients:

Wurms May:

See Invis
Possess Frost Breath
Possess Wurm Breath
Possess Wurm Blaze
Possess Dragon Roar
Spawn another Guardian Wurm (or 2) on death. These splits may also split.
May be totally Magic Resistant

Lava Drakes
Level 60
Gates
Sees Invis
Class: Wizard

Notes:

Casts Reality Warp - Teleport to Zone In.

So.. when a guardian wurm spawns, does it choose to melee for 300/700/1500 as suggested above, and also here?

Does each guardian wurm spawn have the chance to use any of those spells listed? If so, can they spawn being able to cast more than one of them?

Can there be a guardian wurm spawn that hits for 1500 and cast dragon roar, sees through invis, and possibly casts wurm breath?

Can there be a guardian wurm that hits for 275 and doesn't cast at all, but sees invis, and is totally magic resistant?

etc.. I can set these up however we need, I just need to know what all these npcs are capable of spawning as.

Additionally, the eqclerics page suggests that guardian wurms can sometimes cast reality warp. Can they?

Can there really be up to 2 splits off a single guardian wurm?

How often should lava drakes cast reality warp? As a spell, its allakhazam data lists a recast delay of 0, suggesting it is a proc.

Pretty sure all those portals but the one in Phara's room are from the revamp.

I remember guilds putting corpses outside somewhere to rez out of the zone. As gate didn't work, but i'm not sure about the portals.

I am not certain. I based the portals based off my research. Here are some of the quotes.

Note: VP revamp was in July 2004.

03/07/2001

The Phara Dar portal leads to the Fairy island in Plane of Sky, the other portals lead to Freeport. In general, the Druushk portal is the easiest one to use. Click on a zone portal to exit.

..

It was my understanding that each of the 4 portals led to 4 different locations all together. The portal behind Xygoz (inside to the left) put our group in the tunnel in the Swamp of No Hope.

Only one I've personally used so can't comment directly on the others.

..

Greetings!

Wow, Swamp of No Hope? We have only used the Druushk and Phara portals, so I only personally know of Freeport (right by the boat dock) and Sky.

I'll have to check out the Nexxona portal this weekend and see where it goes...

It's possible to. I got dropped during a raid a long time ago due to an ISP problem. I came back to an empty VP. Managed to get to the gate to Freeport and get out. I forget which lair it was behind but getting there was intereting.

..

portal behind pd takes you to posky
behnd druushk is freeport
behind nexona is sonh
behind xygoz is skyfire

bump.

I have seen many people say they raided original VP. Bring forth the infos!

[Shiftin]

Disclaimer: I played a cleric and was taking a step back from leading raids during late kunark until i got the itch again in velious, so I'm not the MOST qualified person to answer these, but I did do my fair share of VP.

I don't think wurm abilities were randomly assigned, because quite frankly SOE's encounter design was not that dynamic at this point. I seem to remember there only being 4 or 5 different types of wurms, and as soon as it was figured out which one we were on, we adjusted accordingly. Things hit hard or casted hard or made more of themselves, but I don't remember wurms that did all 3.

I definitely don't remember anything like

Can there be a guardian wurm spawn that hits for 1500 and cast dragon roar, sees through invis, and possibly casts wurm breath?

as that would be tougher than like half the actual dragons.

Can there be a guardian wurm that hits for 275 and doesn't cast at all, but sees invis, and is totally magic resistant?

This sounds like a reasonable combination. The see invis one were rare enough though that after a few days of crawling through we'd have big sections with no see invis things up.

Again, I know we have ex-FOH and LOS here who pioneered this stuff who will remember better than me, but those are my foggy memories.

The untranslated part of the Japanese guide doesn't address any of this, unfortunately. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
