I got my Jade Reaver last night - WOOT! Now on to the stones from the spawned VS.

The turn-in and killing tactics for the VS spawned by VSR seem very straight forward and not to difficult. BUT - The logistics are nightmarish!

Spawn times: Totally confused. People explain it on the Web and they co-mingle real time and game time thus making their explanations incomprehensible to me. Also, the relation ship between the real VS and VSR is not clear. In some cases it sounds like VSR will respawn on his own after the spawned VS is killed and in other cases it sounds like VSR's respawn is keyed on the death of the real VS.

It would be a big help if explanations were unambiguous about RealVS & SpawnedVS, Real Time & Game Time (a game day = 72 minutes real time).

Tactics: At 61 I am not too crazy about the idea of spending all my time at KC - but if that is what I need to do, I will do it. Should I just set up shop there, watch for VSR and then start sending messages in guild chat, tells to friends and tells to folks in zone to get my killing group together? Is VSR likely to depop while I am waiting for my friends to arrive?

My advice is to not bother trying to figure out his spawn time. Just go to KC whenever you log on and check if he's up. You can track him from the zone line. If he's up call in the troops otherwise go about your business. It's not that hard to catch him.

/agree with the above. And as soon as you do see him, summon that globe of fireflies.

Great advice - thanks guys. I had already decided to summon (or try to anyway) a firefly globe as soon as I log on everyday. I have had the rez spell sleeping in my inventory for quite some time! If I can't summon the globe the longest I should have to wait would be a half-day game time (36 min real time).

Bind in Karnors, check regularly, when you find him up muster your forces as soon as possible (and summon that globe :) )

I have seen him be up on server restart, so check after every patch.

You'll find if you get your tank to hand in the final trigger (the ressurection scroll) it'll mean that the tank will get aggro, and the 1500 lifetap, rather than you :)

Hugs,
Tiniane.

GOT HIM! He was up the first time I logged on after posting this message. We went in with a pickup group of folks already in the zone and a Warrior from my guild - one group of 6.

I turned in the globe and my guilday, MA Barb Warrior 54, turned in the scroll. MA resisted a couple of life taps, got hit for two in rapid succession and went down. One of the other Melees started dropping fast and VS was still almost at full health. I succored and 4 of us made it.

We spent the next 2 hours on CR. By that time, quite a few of my guildmates were logged on and they showed up. LOL, VS never knew what hit him - he went down in less than 30 seconds!

Thank you Clan Werre!

Bah guess I am too late. Gratz. Anyway here is how the VS/VSR spawn works. VS spawns, after VS is killed VSR will spawn 24 real hours later. When you kill VSR another VSR will spawn 24 real hours later. Now what I dont know if it does this like 3 times then VS spawns or if VS spawns and depops VSR. However I have confirmed that VSR spawned once every 24 hours after he was killed 3 times in a row. In other words, Monday at 3am Tuesday at 3am Wednesday at 3am. So basically find out when VSR died, show up the next day at the same time and walla.

Not many people need him though so he really isnt all that contested, and you can track from zone in. If you dont get him that day he will be up tommorrow, not as hard of a fight as it was worked up to be.
