Lair of the Paw on Green99?

[zodium]

damn that's a real bummer, i was very excited to go misty-runnyeye-splitpaw-SK on my halfer for the big pre-revamp experience : (

I stumbled on an even better and annotated map of old Infected Paw just now. Has clear spawn points for the boss mobs and shows where the snakes were.

Edit: The Nixx spawn point is wrong though, see following post

Another version from the same site. The arrow that says "necro/enchanter spawns here" is where Nixx is supposed to spawn.

Based on evidence from these links, I believe Nixx should say "Give me the eye of Kurrpock!" when he spawns, and if given the eye, should reward some plat, xp, and faction hits.

It seems he should also give a grace period of a bit of time before he goes aggro and attacks whoever killed Kurrpock.

However! When you kill King Splitpaw (not his actual name, its x Splitpaw, can't remember the first name) Nixx spawns. Nixx is this bad ass Dark Elf Necro. What is odd is before he attacks the person who killed Splitpaw, he says something like "Give me the heart of (something)". About 5 seconds later you are either dead or charmed killing everyone in Paw. I once killed my whole group, another group, and a few stragglers haha. Was sickly fun.

Anyway, that is who that Dark Elf is, he spawns as soon as the King dies, who ya'll killed for the RTS.

I really want to know what the switch is, and what it is Nixx wants, cause he gives you a little time to respond, then he gets pissed. As far as a key, I have yet to see it, but there are chests around there i have seen.

Now that someone has brought up this Gnoll Slayer thing, when I think about it, Nixx may have asked for the Eye of soso, not the Heart of soso. I sure wish Paw hadn't changed, I would go have a conversation with Mr. Nixx.

Every time you'd kill K., Nixx would appear. Funny part is he wasn't aggro;
he was a Ring of Scale faction person and wanted the eye on Kurrpok. If you
gave it to him, he'd vanish and leave you some plat and terrible faction
hits, so we simply slaughtered him. We thought this was part of the Gnoll
Slayer quest, but I guess not.

Based on this Japanese page, upon death he should say something like

I went to the Ruby Harvest Festival before renovation. Up to 6 people in Lv24 +, Nixx left behind (^^; Wiz, it ’s the end of the breath, “Wow! This betrayal will definitely reach the ears of The dragons!” Faction is interesting and decline Ring of Scale, the rise was AntonicanBards, Trakanon (?), Mistmoore (?!), Carson McCabe (?!) Apparently it was also involved in the dark love of DarkElf and Mistmoore, but Mistmoore and Bard Guild I don't think there's a mobs that goes up both (^^; (1999/11/27 (Sat) 18:23:31)

This is beyond even my bearding. Keep up the good work Dol.

Nixx gave positive Trakanon faction? Fascinating. If I only had a time machine to max this on RZ...

Found another screenshot of Zixx.

Looks like he'd roam pretty far up the dungeon. Wouldn't aggro on any gnolls by the looks of it.

Also some commentary on him here:

14. Zixx Nenix

What is the deal with Tier'dals and me? I have a few friends of that race that are wonderful, but it seems most are despicable. This annoyance roams Splitpaw when released from his hold and seems to always find me. He doesn't ever hurt much, but I can't seem to do much damage to his evil hide before I have to flee. Maybe he didn't like it when I offered to show him that black heart I carry around, or maybe it was the dark elf parts he smelled stinking up my bag... there is also a picture in the gallery.

woooooooow

This whole zone is just fascinating to me. REALLY wish I knew what OG Splitpaw was like. Truly does feel like one of the most persistent mysteries of EQ.

Seems like they never really got the zone right in ANY iteration of it, even the 55+ version had pretty lame loot IIRC. But I actually love the idea of it being a teens/early 20's dungeon, since there's not a lot to do in that area and level range if you're into dungeons.

I've never explored paw, gonna take a tour on blue tonight.

Man I wish we could get classic Paw to work
