Thanks for the uber tip from a friendly druid, I was able to spawn this mob tonight, on the verge of killing so I'll update in a sec, hit the same as the DD imo. Gimme a min tho, he chewed up my first warder. =P
hurry post info!
Damn, killed his ass so dead he can't even post. That doesn't sound promising.
!!!! DEAD... dropped, darkened spirit essence! OMW to Muada!
What force did it take to kill it? You and the Druid? You the Druid, and 4 guildies? =oP
We need some spawn info, mob info, etc, please ellbaborate :p
It's in the stickied thread.
ME, at the large fire pot.
Be warned, nearby Xi mobs will CH it.
clearing the spawns sicne hours now, and nothing
bottleneck for sure sooner or later
got named after 1h cleanage, droped it.probably really lucky
Hehe I would say so Zeth.
Went today, another beast there (Amberly). Helped her for an hour or so, got him to pop once, and he didn't drop it.
Not looking forward to going back.
Considering there's a lot of us beastlords on zeb, might be a bottleneck for some of us for a week or two :)
Lol very true.
Go get it now Grace while I'm at work!
LOL, that I know of that are working on epic or planning to very shortly...
4 in my guild, Mahes prolly Allicat and Kitanablade, Xine, the list will only extrapolate beyond there, when you consider a lot of what I've seen thus far is solo or doable by 2-3 people... until we see something intensive requiring a small raid force... might be many beastlords giving it chase.
camped him 2 hours roughly 6 or 7 spawns before he poped killed him and he droped nothing when I camped was 3 bst sitting waiting for me to leave this should be fun /sarcasm off
5 of us on luclin camped this all day was trivial at 70 to tank hit for 620. From 6 am to 6 pm there was 4 spawnings and only 2 essence grats to Skarx and Henathu on the drops.
Killed him tonight - he hits for ~600, immune to snare, doesn't summon, kitable, runs slower than SoW. I'd rate him a bit tougher than the Ailing Walrus if you're going to try tanking, although he's easy to slow. Interestingly, after I pulled him and zoned the first time (Bunnying Xi Xaui adds kept CHing him) he didn't return to his spawn point - he wandered almost to AR zone in the south.
little update had it camped non stop on luclin since 6am in 24 hours we have had 10 named and still only the 2 essence.
*edit* 21 to 24 hours
Killed 1 PH and got a named the next pop, who dropped the essence.
Was camping this with another beast and my boxed wizzy and, although it wasnt snarable by the wiz, the 2nd bst put hobble on his warder and that stuck, made it very easy to kite and kill.
6 hours, 1 named, dropped a wolf pelt..., hello ?
I think the loottable of that mob is messed up
13hours 22minutes in total. 3spawns, no drop.
6+ hours . 4th spawn dropped it .
15 hours, 5 named, 1 drop. Hmmm how many beastlords are on the server that are working on their epic 1.5? Well at that rate they will have in it 20 years.
Quote from: Ogee6+ hours . 4th spawn dropped it .
Glad to see you finally got it. It doesn't bode well though.
Four hours of Ph, no named spawned. Different beast spent a few hours there after me, got at least one spawn, no drop.
This is going to be a HUGE bottleneck.
Nalitra
fuq this camp... killed this mofo 7 times and no drop.... all i gotta say is... "laugh it up Sony" *middle finger*
Just a thougth, but have all of you guys that are having trouble with the drop done all the epic steps up to this point?
Yes.
I sat here last night for 4 hours with not a single named spawn. This sucks.
Quote from: PaayneJust a thougth, but have all of you guys that are having trouble with the drop done all the epic steps up to this point?
yes
5-6 hours, 3 spawns dropped finally.
Quote from: PaayneJust a thougth, but have all of you guys that are having trouble with the drop done all the epic steps up to this point?
I actually haven't (I have yet to deliver the letter to the ogre in CT) and I had no problem with the ME drop.
Can the named spawn int he Xi Vious places or outer wolf spawnpoints too ? It seems to me it can only spawn at the inner one of the 3 wolf spawnpoints.
He only spawned from the wolves for me .
atm at 14 hours and 8 named, still no drop :(
same, I just did 14 hrs worth of killing I think 6 named all together, nothing but 2 "a wolf pelt" to show for it, and about 1 and 1/2 aa's to boot (100% aa exp).
I can understand the rarity of an epic, but this is a tad overdoing it for anyone to stare at a monitor.
4 Named Spawns after approximately 10 hours camping the spot over the last week. Finally dropped tonight. Best spot to setup in is on the east side, a bit south east of the Xi's. Mob hits for around 600 max, is fully slowable, and runs when it's low on health. The Xi's will try to CH it, but if you end up kiting, the CH won't land since you will be able to gain enough distance during the cast time.
Sat there for 7 hours today and didn't even get a named to spawn.
Just finished kiting 3rd spawn of named so far tonight. 5 hours of camping, no drops at all. This is ridculous. :evil:
Guy on Lanys is around 20 hours now probably, with around 5 named and nothing, but I had to go to work, so not sure if he has it yet or if he is still sitting there. /rude rare spawn named that don't always drop the piece.
2 & 1/2 hours, first spawn dropped.
I am at 17 hours, 3 named, 0 drops. This is beyond ridiculous.
Gave up for the night at 9 hours with no named.....
19 hours 31 mins, 4 named, no drops and counting.....
/rude SoE
16hours and counting..10kills. All i have to show for it is 8 pelts...
Feedbacked to have it changed for whatever it's worth..
This camp sounds like the sort of nonsense that made me never do an epic quest to begin with. I don't care how good the reward is, I'm not gonna sit and stare at a spawn point for 12+ hours.
24 Hrs, 18 spawns 1 Wolf Pelt, Zero Epic drop part. Ugly
For what its worth, I spent the entire day yesterday in the little hollow beneath the fire pot and didn't ahve a single named spawn... today I logged on and decided to not park anything in the hollow and got two named one right after the other and the second named dropped it... Perhaps parking out of the hollow helps....
26 hours. 11 named. No drops.
Ouch - I thought I'd had bad luck with a 9 hour (almost to the minute) camp. 4 nameds in that period, with only a Wolf Pelt as loot until the last one.
Stupid, stupid, camp. I did mine all in one go on Sunday, and I was almost insane by the end of it, so I can't imagine what it's like being there for 26 hours. :shock:
Was traveling through ME and saw a beast camping it on Rathe, thought id join a fellow beast and help him camp it, he'd been there for quite a while (4-5 hours or so) with out a pop, 2 wolf PH fights later the named spawned during a fight, ran to UP and he got a guild group together, killed it real easy with a small group 60-67's, no drop :( (he got the killing blow) , stayed with him a couple of hours more then he camped out in frustration. didnt see any more names the entire time... I think this parts realy gonna tick alot of beastlords off. :evil:
im deffinately not looking forward to it.
Did about 5 hours myself after the guy camping before me logged. 3 named in that time, 1 pelt 2 empty, stupid pos rare spawn that doesn't drop an item every time is just retarded.
I'd rather have to drag my entire guild to a big fight than this pathetic attempt at a time sink on blue mobs. :evil:
Camped the spawn point this past saturday for 12 and half hours in that time it spawned 8 times with nothing on it or a wolf pelt. Two times it spawned back to back. was enough to drive a person crazy brings back memiores of shard camping in ME Bleh
The mob not dropping the item we need every time is just ridiculous. Not only does it go against the epic storyline, but it only serves to keep those with less time out of yet another selling point for OOW. Rare drops from rare spawns - I thought we were past that.
Finally got this after 7.25 hours of camping him on Sunday. In that time, I had two named spawn. I feel rather lucky though. My guild mate spent 14 straight hours there on Sat. He had 4 named spawn in that time with no essence. What a frickin joke.
Kethalos
I camped this guy 2 hours got 1 named droped nothing then a week later camped him for 5 hours got 3 named back to back third named droped it I was very lucky. Theres a guy on my server going on about 40 hours of camping this mob and no drop for him yet, and I know another bst that spent 30. So dont give up its just random.
When i came to ME the named was up, but didnt drop the essence, so far been camping 8 hours and not a single named pop :roll:
honestly were not the only ones in this boat, druid epic 1.5 has rare spawn in EW that doesnt always drop item either and he spawns with 2 adds all hit for 600 and he is immune to root snare at least we can solo wolf druids cant solo there mob, and chanters have same issues I know of 2 mobs for chanter 1.5 which people have camped days to get the drop.
And it can take days of a full group killing in furubi to even start the clr epic 1.5. Mages have to kill ice burrowers in WW for like6 rare drop silks, shadow knights have to kill horses in plane of growth for a rare drop item on mobs with an 8 hour respawn.
we have it easy IMO
Quotedruid epic 1.5 has rare spawn in EW that doesnt always drop item either and he spawns with 2 adds all hit for 600
The Ulthork Raider isn't a rare spawn, he's just on three hour timer. I've never seen any adds, either - I've helped kill him six or seven times now. But yes, they can't solo it, so they're worse off there.
ahh ok cool I played a druid as main up till a month ago and the druid board write ups say he spawns with 2 other mobs that are linked to him but can be rooted/snared to split them info on writeup must be incorrect thanks for the clear up as several druids in my guild are needing this part.
7 hours, 4th named and dropped. This camp reminded me of doing Raster.
8 hours, 1 spawn, one shiny wolf pelt
/rude
Some saying they know of people camping this for 30 to 40 hours, that's insane.. I spent 12 hours straight with 7 spawns total, all I had to show for it was a wolf pelt.. which made his timer have 29 mins on it and I Thought he had the piece and went nuts and then looted a wolf pelt... F EQ sometimes... :evil:

/duckandrun
/sigh, 6+ hours in SG with 200+ servant walruses and manatees dropped without an ailing is already making me not look forward to ME, heh.
Took about 17 hours. Killed 200 wolves had three spawns for the name before I got Darken Spirit Essence.
Killed for another 4+ hours last night. 0 (read: ZERO) named popped.
/sigh.
I could justify the rare pop from the storyline, but WHY IN THE BLOODY NAME OF JEBUS did they make it rare drop too!?!?
I just hope Tastian can get a dev to say its the way its supposed to be, or its going to get looked at. This part does seem insane though.
We had 3 eassance drop on fennin yesterday in about 12 hours so its just very very random.
This has to be a bug...it just has to be. A rare spawn I can deal with, a rare drop I can deal with- but not combined. Its hard enough finding the camp open. I would really be surprised if this mob is behaving as intended.

I think I was really lucky on this. Spent about 3 hours over 2 night there and got it on the third named I saw overall. I know another beastlord who was camping it around the same time I was and spent about 20 hours, killing 15 named, before it dropped. It's seriously too rare.
Plus, from an RP standpoint it not dropping everytime doesn't really make sense. We're sent to find a corrupted beast and collect the essence that is making it corrupt. If the essence isn't present on the wolf, how is it corrupted at all? I understand the need to make the quest difficult, but for storyline purposes, this doesn't seem to add up.
I camped mine for over 8 hours over 2 days. On the 2nd day after camping for 5 hours the first with no luck on a spawn. I got 3 to spawn in 3 hour period, the first 2 didn't have the essence only the boobie prize of the wolf pelt the 3rd thankfully did have the essence.
I agree it is rather annoying spending hours spawning a mob to only find it empty.
On that note good luck and just try to keep upbeat about the camp. I looked at it that at least I was fighting light blues and blue cons and getting some exp :) The only downside besides the time you spend there is the morons training UP zone and who aggro mobs on you.
8 hours camped - 1 spawn - 1 wolf pelt.
Still camping it. This sucks. :?
12 hour camp, over 3 days
Only 1 named spawn, thankfully dropped essence
Was from middle of the 3 spawns.
Just FYI but they seem to be on a 10-12 min timer. I brought my Cleric bot and I am glad I did, no way could I have solo'ed this. VT/EP geared, 7400 hp/1425ac with virtue, full def aa's (except for OoW ones), level 68 (no spells past 65). Needed 3 CHeals in fight. By comparison, I can tank BoT giants with 1 CHeal every other mob (and 2 CHeals on 2-3). Dunno if it summons, if not could maybe kite it, but I doubt it (adds). Would just bring a healer type with you, or have one bound there you can call when named pops.
2 BST's can do it. Thanks Panthur, my guildie! :P 4 hours camp (or so), like 6-7 spawned, and dropped on last one. Panthur got it just 2 hours camping.
*sigh* 13 hrs between 2 days 6 spawns the first day of 7 hrs no drops second day 6 hrs and not one spawn. wtb this changed to alteast a higher percent of it spawning. oh well ever epic has its time sink.
9 hrs 2 spawns and one drop. Argh, that camp sucks hardcore. But, least I am just down to fights now of timed spawns.
16 hours over 3 days. Only had 6 spawn and all 6 dropped nothing. Not even a pelt. =(
So far my camp is 38 hours, 12 named and no essence. This is not even close to being reasonable for an epic drop. Even the necro drop from PoI takes less time then this. The fact that it drops from only one spawn point is also not called for. Anyways, peace out, continuing my ungodly camp.

Just wanted to mention here for those that don't read other thread that this is getting fixed.
ME camp was not fixed sat there 7 hours today, 3 named spawn and nada on drops, WTF? are the developers just sadistic?
Quote from: TastianJust wanted to mention here for those that don't read other thread that this is getting fixed.
But it is not yet fixed on LIVE correct Tastian or are the DEVs smoking crack again? :)
Fix might not have gone in this patch. I'm waiting on confirmation back atm. Obviously the initial reports we are hearing so far aren't that promising, almost starting to hope it didn't get fixed lol.
Yeah I hope it didn't get fixed. Because if it is fixed, this SUCKS.
Its been perma camped since server camp up, and about a dozen named spawn, all MT.
Either it's fixed, or I got lucky cause I logged in, killed 3 PH, he spawned on 4th, and dropped the Essence. :D
Most reports I've gotten haven't been that good. It's just such a small sample size of something that was so bad to begin with that it's hard to tell right off. I know a couple servers have lists going atm with multiple beastlords there killing for it. I know a few have gotten, and I know others going into their 50th total hour atm. No offical word yet, so bleh. Just wish everyone luck with it and hopefully if it's not fixed it will be soon and if it's fixed, but not fixed enough then it will be soon too. *shrugs*
Soon as I logged in to Rodcet Nife at 6pm CST and headed to ME expecting to find a line of beastlords waiting on the FRB. Suprisingly no one else was in the zone so I invised and headed to the Firepot. Once in place I set up and began to pull the wolves at the ph area.
I had done about 5 sets of 3 when my druid friend came along with a warrior in tow. We killed another set when the Frantic spawned on us. It proceeed to kill the warrior :) then my pet and myself. Druid evaced and I called some guildes for help.
We ran back to the spawn and destroyed it.
First spawn he dropped the Essence.
Total camp time about an hour and a half !!! :o
I had tried this camp on and off prior to the last patch and like many of you left after hours upon hours of disgust and a bit of shame in dragging others out to that hell hole.
Good work Devs and All of you fellow Beasts that brought this to thier attention !!
Did it today - he dropped the essence on the 3rd kill.
Quote from: TzukaDid it today - he dropped the essence on the 3rd kill.
Third kill of named? Sounds like it isn't fixed if he isn't dropping the essence all of the time.
The wording Tastian recieved seemed to indicate that it would not drop everytime, but would be more frequent that the almost non existant way is has been.
I spent over 20 hours on this and only had two spawns before the patch. I refuse to spend anymore time on it till I hear its fixed. I am better off doing AA than spending 4 hours a night on something that has been working not right. =/
Kat
Anyone know off hand if this dude is trackable by a druid near the DSP zone line?
Hi Everyone,
This change was eaten by goblins in the last patch, but I'm asking for it to go live within the next day or so.
Just wanted you to have all the facts. I'll let you know when this is complete.
Apologies on my part,
Vahlar
Thanks so much for posting here. And darn those goblins!!!!!

Excellent to hear VahlaraEQ-Dev.
Was just looking to see if there was an offical word anywhere as another 7 hours and 3 named last night and no drop....
Great to hear from you guys at Sony, keep up the good work.
Thank you for the reply Vahlara. I am really looking forward to working on this quest again when the spawn is tweaked on live. =)
Anyone else feel like going on a gobbie slaughtering binge now? =P

Well after many many hours in ME in the past I seem to have some decent news. I logged in, decided to say wtf and go do this drop no matter how long it took. After 4 hours of not 1 named drop I was like of great, they were spawning to much and not dropping anything to not spawning at all, then BAM one popped. I pulled him killed him and looted the drop I have been waiting forever for. I sent a tell to 2 of my Bst friends saying it dropped. They went there and 2 and 1/2 hours he spawned and dropped another one. This seems to be the fix, instead of spawn and nothing dropping it is a rare spawn but drops everytime. I hate camping just as much as the next person but to kill a rare spawn and nothing so many times I don't mind waiting to kill the damn thing and having it drop everytime, this I like.
I think I will stay wait for official response from SOE before believing its fixed. On Tunare, I started camping it again today around 5:30pm CST - 7:00pm CST, and 2 named spawned, both empty. I decided not to waste my time after raiding tonite.
And thanks Valhar for the update. I wait patiently for your next post!
Oct 15...camped from 3am to 7:30 am, not 1 named. Total time spent here is 14 hrs . 3 kills no drops......
.....spawned at 7:36 am pst...empty
4 kills no drop total
...killed again at 8:04'ish.....empty
5 kills no drop
Reply not fixed one bit... 5 hours, 1 spawn and... NO drop (ofcourse)... /sigh
I've spent over 30 hours here now and still got nothing to show for it. Only seen 6 Beasts I think...
I have nearly 40 hours there with NOTHING! Last night I did another couple hours without even a spawn! Ugh!!!
Greetings Beastlords,
The changes that were intended to go in with the patch will be put on live at 3am.
Thanks!

anyone know what the actual change is though? just makes it drop everytime?
looks like final fight change going in too then ?
well back up at 4:55 apparently /shrug
6:30 FRB spawns and drops the essence :)
Enter ME at 5am.
FRB spawns at 7.45 am - drops Essence.
(Total camp - 8 hours before patch - 4 FRB, 2hr45mins after patch - 1 FRB)
Weeee ! Got mine today after zone had been updated. Named spawned after 7 spawn rounds and dropped it!
Spent 32+ hours on this camp and now it's finally over!!! I am so happy I could cry! hehe :D
I spent 21 hours camping this before the patch last night.
Today I spent 40 minutes camping it and got the essence of the first FRB spawn. Thank you SOE>
I camped this stupid mob for 5 hours today after patch and NOT one spawn.
What server Jola? It's possible that your server just got missed in the update.
Killed him 5 times prior to the patch and seen nada since. Spent more time after the patch camping him that prior =(
After reading the various posts about this camp I was dreading it.
Ended up clearing the camp 2 times and then the FRB spawned.
It spawned closest to the center of the firepit.
Took him down with a few friends and it dropped the drop.
Even post patch (last night) I went through 3 hours nearly before the namer spawned, but when he did, it dropped the essence no problems. At least I had a good movie to watch while waiting :P
Killed with myself and my back pocket cleric without incident, looted and go the heck outta dodge.

Took me about 5 hours total, but he dropped it the first time. This was all post-patch.
Of course when he spawned, he instantly killed my druid, so I couldn't fight him straight up, I had to kite him for 15 minutes with no KEI and an un-SoWed pet. That was fun. ;)
Ok folks, post patch info - when I zoned into ME on Bert he was up. I could NOT even get to him without ubah adds so I just invis'd up to UP zone, (I two box a druid) had druid run out invis, cast snare even tho he is immune to changes in run speed and run that pups happy butt to the UP zone. My bst was stuck in the corner, as the mobs my druid brought with her were about to smack her I had her zone over. I then watched as they all pathed back, the wolf trailing behind, and as the druid was zoning back over I slowed the happy pooch and tanked him by the UP zone. Course, no essence.
Then I decided to go ahead and try sitting at his spawn. I off'd the two pups on either side and the many, MANY adds that kept attacking me. I had one PH and then he spawned again. However, because of his many HP's and all the darn adds smacking my druid I had to evac us out. Back to square one. Put BST in corner near UP zone, had druid run out invis, cast a snare and run her happy but to zone. I then tagged the pup while the druid was zoning back over to ME and off'd him. WHAMMO - essence.
This mob does have a LOT of HP and will tear your pet apart even at lvl 66 but ghetto pulling his happy butt to the UP zone worked great if you have a partner that can invis out, cast without dmg and run the mobs to UP while taking a few hits and nukes from the casters and such in the zone.
Luckily for me the ME camp was the longest out of the 3 but it only took about 2 hours max in there. Course, I do count the time I spent trying to clear to the spawn thinking it would be decent AA exp. (FORGET THAT NOISE!)
Good luck fellow BSTy's, I'm still stuck on my last fight in RCoD and it totally sucks to be so close and not be able to attain a decent BST weapon.

That's odd.
I wedged my druid and myself into that "cubby" there under the firepot and I never got a single add in the 5+ hours I was there. I wonder if pathing was "tuned" in the past couple of days to make that spot unsafe.
I sat on the grassy rise just west of the 3 spawns (just off the paved area). I think there are only a couple of paths that track onto the hill and less then a handful that track close enough to argo. Because the mobs here roam across a goodly portion of the zone I rarely had these guys be an issue. Beyond those I will concede there are some major mob pathways where you would run into trouble if that is where you were setting up shop. You are also far enough away from the spawn so if he does pop he willnot argo on you. At 65 with a 64 Druid bot I had no problem with any mobs in the zone that path through that area. Something to watchout for though is the Frantic will death walk north. If you fight him too close to the 3 spawn of robes there might be a cleric in the group. The wolf cannot be snared/rooted.
Adds could easily have come from the frequent trains that are dragged over the firepot behind people on their way to UP.
Is this the large furnace sort of off-center where there's 3 partitioned areas - 3 wolves, 3 Xi's, and open, or is this much closer and slightly north of UP? I see people talking about a safe cubby spot under the fire, but there isn't any in one, and I haven't checked the other, I just saw the firepot, 3 wolves, and assumed it was the spot.
QuoteIs this the large furnace sort of off-center where there's 3 partitioned areas - 3 wolves, 3 Xi's, and open
Yes. It's the thing with 3 curved spires rising from a central spot, just west of the zone to UP.
Quote from: VolsykatI see people talking about a safe cubby spot under the fire, but there isn't any in one, and I haven't checked the other, I just saw the firepot, 3 wolves, and assumed it was the spot.
That's the spot. Just back yourself into the corner "under" the firepot and stay there. As soon as you uninvis, you
will aggro all 3 wolves so don't do this if the Frantic is up. Kill the first wolf quickly, then take your time with the next two and you will have them spaced out nicely. And watch out that you dont go up on the left (facing out from the fire pot) wall too high or you will aggro the robes on the other side (2 cleric Xi's at the same time suck, let me tell you...). But as long as you stay in the center or the right near the firepot, you will not get any adds.
Spawn time for the wolves is exactly 11m 43s, so get yourself a timer.
Ah good, so it is the right spot...well, 2.5 hours in, rest of the weekend to go, this is all that's keeping me from my final fight :)
And if you need to kite him, drag him to the SE corner of the zone. There's no robe mobs over there (so no CH on the Frantic at a bad time) and no roamers. As long as you don't aggro the static gorangas, you can kite in peace. And there's a big hill over there that you can use to gain a kite lead on the Frantic if you need a couple of extra seconds to heal yourself.
And keep SoW on your pet at all times. I didn't, and when I was forced to start kiting, my pet's dps really was hurt by barely being able to keep up with the Frantic.
Good luck!
I haven't had any add problems setting up camp in the empty partition just on the other side of the wolves, I just make sure to pull back closer to the center and not fight on the steps, and I don't get adds. Only time I have had trouble is if I fight too far away, and the 2 robes who cross maybe 10ft away notice...otherwise, no worries.
It is possible that I got trained my night there but from what I could see I was alone almost the entire morning. I did notice on Bert tho that the robes didn't stay on the grass all the time, they were pathing right over the firepit or right past the wolves. Could have been a pathing bug, not sure if it has been fixed or not. I also noticed that the pathing over the firepit got worse the more robes I killed.
Course, they still haven't fixed the whole mobs bunching up in one spawn point or in a section of a zone yet. I have noticed in SG sometimes you can run in to a cluster of 4-7 mobs that seems stuck in their own geometry.
Walked into the zone today and Frantic was up, killed and dropped the item. Lucked out big time, no waiting, only a couple of Xi adds to deal with.
Same, was up when I zoned in post-patch, and dropped essence. The next spawn was named again, I didn't kill it.
I'm just about to do this wolf, so after reading this I can safely assume that I wont be able to stand toe to toe with him. Either kite or call on a healer when it pops?.
Yeah, when I tried this I took 2 tries. The first try, it was me, another bst, and a necro, all guildies. On attempt to pull the frantic, we got a few mobs and the necro died (we were gonna kite). The second attempt was me, the other bst, and a shaman for healing. Used gpp to pull the other wolf out of the way then gpp again to pull the frantic solo. I tanked and the shaman healed, he thought it was an easy enough heal job but we definitely couldn't have done it without him.
I did it solo by kiting him with DoTs and DDs, it was quite hairy but I managed to avoid adds by running in between the centre and the north east lake and back. Would have been easier if I'd had hobble then by far.

Mine was a little of overkill...
I asked guild for a healer... and got a 2 group raid.
Pally RL pulled FRB and 4-5 adds across ME to DSP and raid killed it all :)
But for my friend's spawn... 66/100aa or so at the time, we just duoed it... with spot chloros and Muada's to each other(he had the Muada at the time I just had chloro), it wasnt too hard.
With two beasts hes cake to straight up tank if both have decent aa.... 65/100 isnt too hard to get to. Just the second pet seems to help reduce the FRB's dps to a point where its not too hard to tank it.
I could kite it pretty easily if found a spot.. and I might could solo it tanking now.. but Im not sure.
Hi
Got mine last night was so happy. I camped it for about 3.5 hours with my 58 lvl cleric 2nd account and it was getting late and I started to get slack and needed to rebuff when the SoB poped and caught me off balance lol. I got him down to 11% when ph poped and killed my cleric then I died grr.
When I got back to ME there were 4 bst's in zone so Iam starting to get worried so I called guild cleric to come help and also managed to get a bunch of lvl 55's who were in UP to come help me. I ended up clearing the 3 mobs at UP zone then druid pacified 2 ph wolfs then I pulled frantic to up zone was a piece of cake with the grp I had, but after reading that he doesnt always drop the essence I was jumping for joy when I looted him.
Anyway Iam glad that bits over and done with :)
Good Luck
I, too, got him last evening. He popped on me, a warrior, and druid and wiped us. The druid was the healer and she went down first, then I went down just as I realized what was going on. Warrior survived and zoned to UP.
We came back with a cleric and back :), pulled him to the UP zone and killed him. He dropped the essence.

It took me about 24 hours (spread over a period of 4 or so days I believe) when I finally looted mine. The wolf was there already when I got there along with a few other spawns. Thankfully there were all light blue to me. What I did was pulled with slow, then used my insta-clicky invis to jet over to the SE corner of the map (near where the 3 static Gorangas are). You'll find maybe one, if any at all, other mobs that will path to that valley. Anyway, once there, I kited the wolf around (warder had on the hate decreasing proc) until he was down to about 33% or so then just tanked it using both my main discs. In hindsight, I probably could have tanked from the start but better safe than sorry. :)

I'm 9+ hours over 3 days clearing this spawn with me a 70 beast a 70 pally and a 70 druid and no sign of him .. we've been camped at the firepot.. any idea if something has changed?
Haven't heard of any changes, but back when it was first being done, I remember at least two BSTs in serverwide chat that had spent 12+ hours straight camping it. Just a very random spawn.
Good luck.
I finally got about 2 hours after i posted. So had 11+ hours invested for one spawn. So happy thats over.
lol wait till you get to run into the DDA =) and hopefully you got a big enough raid force
Got him today. Took my brother's druid there to check if he was up. He was, so I logged druid out and beast in. I pet pulled him solo to the UP zoneline. Luckily there were no see inv guys at entrance today. The first try it took four slows to get him slowed. So I ran out of mana trying with the exta heals to keep my pet up. I got him to 9 percent before I had to zone. The second try my slow landed on the first cast. Still used all my mana plus paragon but I managed to get him deaded. :-D And he had the drop on him.
So check the UP zone and kill the see inv mobs if they are up. Then pet pull him there while invised. No adds and no heals from the Hooded guys. Good luck.
Oh, I'm mostly Elemental geared 70 Beastlord with 130 AAs.
Took about 2 hours camping him. Thank you everyone for your helpful posts!!
Got it today on Prexus server....Actually got 2 of them. Had 2 pops in about an hour and a half. First time was just me(69) and a shammy (68). was a bit of a problem due to both of us were at about 50%mana. Second drop was easier (had another beast(68) w/ us.
Got this guy on my first try. Killed the PH, sat at UP zone line and then went back and it was up and waiting.
Im sorry to hear so many opthers had bad timing on this.

Camped for a couple hours last night and nothing.. This is going to suck...
Got him solo on first attempt last night. hardest thing was figuring out how to get frantic wihtout the other beasts joining in. Found out that frantic wont help others if you just send warder in alone. Easy kill after that.
I must have been lucky. Logged on just after patch and he was up. Dropped off first kill.
Woo hoo! Camped the firefpit roughly 1 1/2 hour this morning and he popped - died and dropped essense! ( Boxed a 68 cleric and had a 64 shaman come play too).
Tried to get it yesterday but another beastlady beat me too it.
Seems like the droprate/spawn has been fixed :)
Now I just need to find me a good necro to help with the CT part... I keep getting closer with sneak/invis - but not close enough.. Blasted CT!
hey all,
i sat at the fire pot - only 1/4 of the thing has wolves ... robes occupy the rest ... i cleared spawn and killed any wolf (spectral wolves and ravenous beasts) ... after 4 clearings of spawn, right after my druid buddy LD'd and zerk friend quit on me, the ravenous popped. ... i was able to kill it and the 1 LB and 1 DB wolves that popped shortly thereafter .... ALONE .... but i barely scraped by, used a potion, and had just come from a raid (though most buffs had worn off) ...
i am 8200 hp unbuffed with 55 avoidance, CA2, and luckily i had paragon too .... he doesn't summon, so as long as you have sow, you *CAN* solo this ... think about it, keep your spells ready, and try to keep mr. scaleybutt alive
best of luck, ya'll!

Well, I have to say, that the info on this forum is exactly what we need. I just got my Disturbed Beast Essence after camping the spawn for 6 hours today, with no nameds. When he did spawn he ate my warder for a snack. I kind of expected that since I am only 63. On the advice of the forums, I scooted down to the safe valley and started kiting and dotting him. Worked beautifully even though I had no mana regen buffs and oom. I was med kiting just fine when he warped and killed me. On the way back I stopped in the GL for my body, just grabbing the essentials (get a rez after kill). I got a couple buffs in the GL I never saw before, Tenacity, Dire Focusing, and Seer's Intuition. Upgrades with TSS apparently. Anyway, got there and invis drops at the wrong time of course. So I have Frantic, 4 wolves, and a Xi being kited in the valley. Got Frantic to 24% and all the others start wandering back to spawn points! Weird!! Anyway, I had to med kite just a little bit (4910mana pool), and he started running at 19%. I hit bestial fury disc burned him to 9% and by then had enough mana to cast fluffy again so did that and we finished his yellow butt off! Great walkthroughs on the site, and I love the camaraderie of the entire bst community! Thanks again for all the info so many have put together!
