Sand Eroded Shell -Pet Haste clicky
Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2012 9:52 am
This is a brief, from memory account of my search for this item. Forgive minor errors, and post corrections if you know of them. It is one of the few clicky items that is not no-drop and has an effect that I will use for some time, so I wanted to try and grab it. I expect to charm a lot in the coming levels for exp, and how sweet would it be to get free haste without using up a spell slot? I have not seen it pop up in the bazaar on Tunare, and the drop is from a mob that is lvl 58 ( I am lvl 71) so I decided to give it a shot.
For reference, I used Lucy for information on the Mob's and on items that were dropping. I used EQ maps to find out where the heck I was trying to go, and would highly recommend it.
The zone is Crypt of Nadox. As for getting there, don't take the zone-in that looks like a lava pool, because it is, and is the zone-out if you fall in a lava moat within Crypt of Nadox. When swimming around in the lava, looking for a way up that didn't exist, I was wondering if the lvl 51 monk the zone was getting a chuckle out of the backstroking, lava-braving halfling, ha! With camo and my merc up it was easy enough to get to the spawn area, I think I only had to fight one or two grey mobs. It is indoors, so no mounts or outdoor spells, which was a painful reminder of lower levels long ago! The area with placeholders is a room on the far western side of the map that houses some undead trolls. The undead blacksmith is the mob we are looking for. I ended up clearing out all of the undead trolls in the main retangular room, and then the ones on the stairs leading to the south (on both sides).
A few things to note. Two augs dropped that were decent, the rarer one was a green gem with 10AC if I recall correctly. There are several other lore drops as well which I think will sell for some plat in the bazaar. For me, I cleared all of the trolls three times, then on the fourth wave had the undead weaponsmith(dropped the bow, good lore item that should sell okay at bazaar), on the fifth wave the undead was up again and dropped only the bow again. Meh. Each time the undead blacksmith spawned on one of the landings in the area with the stairs; first time to the left, second to the right. I'll try to give an update shortly as well, though I expect after a handful of wipes I may grow bored with this and go hunting elsewhere for a bit.
