Scars of VeliousLast night I broke the spawn with the following group, it was a very close fight cause someone wondered a bit and we got some adds.
43 cleric
40 chanter
38 ranger
45 ranger
We invised and ran up to the Queen (it was her ph but you get the point). then the rangers attacked it and the enchanter mezzed the others. I (the cleric) root parked a few and chain healed the chanter till he got them all under control. This method works pretty well if you keep away from the water so you dont get to many adds. The room is easy after you break it. We were there for 2 hours and no queen, but we did get some nice from the adviser.

Hmm funny I walked in and cast splurt, envenomed bolt and bond death followed by root... she died... dropped the robe. Pretty easy. No social aggro from other mobs. Definately not a 50 spider. Widow Mistress is a true 50 mob... with 12k hp. Queen D had Id say around 4k tops.

Interesting...
My group consisted of
36 cleric
38 shadowknight
39 bard
38 enchanter
40 druid
40 rogue
Probably about equal in power to your group. Also happened to be the best pick-up group of my life. However, when we had to break the room, the queen was up.
We scouted the room, it had 2 webmasters, queen, 2 spiders, and 2 velium crawlers in the water. Basically we went in and got our *** kicked. We DID take the queen down, but the main looter had a robe and they were lore, so the robe rotted. Druid said "evac?" And preceeded to evac, but I had divine aura up and so got left behind :P. I died... the group ran back... got my corpse and looted.
Round 2. Queen's first body decayed, then queen popped AGAIN. This time we pulled the crawlers through the water to the bridge directly before her room, leaving Miss Thang, a crawler, and 2 webmasters for us to deal with. We went in, and even without harmtouch (SK had used it on queen) took her down EASILY. The key was keeping the mobs off the enchanter, and with 3 mobs mezzed we beat down the queen easily.
After that it was not too much of a problem holding the room. In 4 hrs 30 minutes of camping, our group got 4 bubbles of experience each and the following loot:
1 Crystalline sword
5 Crystal webshields
2 Crystalline robes (one rotted)
3 Crystal grinders
2 Messengers of the queen (Paladin only piercer)
Even though I died once, I won the roll on a sword, a robe, a grinder, and a piercer, so it was a very, very good night for us.
By the way, Queenie popped 4 times, Dracnid Retainer popped 6 times, Grinder popped 3 times. The retainer can spawn either as a PH for the queen OR outside in the hallway. A webmaster can also be a PH for queen. Grinder spawns randomly in the long tunnels between stalags and queen room.
Overall this dungeon is awesome. Beats the tar out of Lower Guk's 30 crap respawn, train-prone, terrible pathing, dungeon from hell. By the way, the Crystalline Sword is much better than a ykesha.
Good luck adventurers, and have fun in the Crystal Caverns!

Posted: Jan 25 2001 at 9:54 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'd like to sell or trade this robe. Please give me a tell.

I am not sure, but it seems that she doesn't have
any particular "rare" or "common" drop. Maybe both the sword and the robe drops as "common". Most the times I have fought her though, the robe is the common one, but since so many people say that the sword is the common one, maybe it's 50/50 chance on this one.

I killed the Queen 5 times today, she dropped the robe the first time, and the sword each time after.
I was rather disapointed as I was told the robe was the common.

I have this robe but would like to trade it for the blackened one since I am an enchanter and could use the extra +5 charisma

It's only slightly better than the advisor robe, it has +1 int more, but 10 mana less so that balances, same amount of agi, same magic resist, only real difference is this robe has 2 AC more (not much especially to a caster) and it has +10 SV cold (if you really need the frost resist though, this definitely helps)
Anonymous
Trust me, on PvP, you REALLY need the frost resist, unless you like being hit by an ice comet spell that does over 1k of damage. Just throwing in my 2 plats worth.

It depends on what equipment you can get for your character. Personally, I can't get any high +mana robes, so I'm looking for INT robes right now and +mana elsewhere. The extra int is worth more to me, and the loss of 10mana is negligible.
The posted price here is ridiculous though, and I expect it to drop. For that price I'd go ahead and get SMR for the int.
I always wanted a cryo-robe. While I may not be able to get the color scheme that I love so much at least now I can get the design ;)

also keep in mind that this robe looks different. the advisor robe was cool for about a week then so many people had it it wasnt worth camping, this robe will follow that way as well soon but for now those of us with it are well lookin good :)

Ok its not as rare as some say, although maybe I just got lucky. Someone also said it was her common at first then they switched it to rare. Well I camped the queen for 3 days starting the morning after Velious went live. And from my experience it was NEVER her common, it has always been the rare.. It was extremely rare the first day but seems to be dropping quite a bit lately.
The day after Velious went live I camped her for 5hours. She is on a 20 minute timer and the rest of room on a 15. I got her four times in the first 2 hours al with the spear, then she didn't spawn for the other 3 hours once.
The next day I went back and camped her 1 hour. 2nd spawn had the robe. THe next day a group camped her roughly 6 hours and got 4 robes in that period.
I went back the next day, first spawn, robe :)
Anyway its not that rare anymore or at least it didnt seem to be. MANY people have this robe already.
Also for any mages 51+ out there this room is a breeze to solo and break with your 51 earth pet and Scintilation. I found a group of an enchanter cleric druid and 49 mage have a hard time breaking it :) But 51+ mages should have no problem. THe initial breakin CAN be rough if not done correctly. But if done correctly a 51+ mage can pull solos mostly and maybe at times 2 at most to clear the room..
Nice camp btw.. 3 named spawns in her room drop nice stuff, and the crystal grinder drops in the hall near her. Also the zone out is just around the corner ;)

my guild just camped her and she spawned five times while i was there and a few more before I arrived, that was about once an hour. We kept the room cleared at all times. I think all in all we got 5 robes, and the pally weapon was on the last spawn but no robe.

Youre either very lucky or full of crap.
The queen herself is a rare spawn. I have gone many hours without seeing her.

Hehe.... good luck...
They changed her common drop to the pally weapon and the robe to her rare drop which is roughly every 8 hrs... hehe i know from experience... never go in assuming the easiest loot to get :)

Well either her or her place holder spawns every 20 minutes or so. Usually will get a couple of these things over a 5 hour period. Longest we've gone with no queen is about 3 hours.
Also there are lurkers, retainers, and purifiers named dracnids that spawn right next her and drop some decent stuff like 11/29 1HSlash swords that can be dual wielded and a nice AC15 shield for casters and priests that looks like a shimmering orb and has some nice stats cept no INT or WIS.
camp on the queen and pull all the way up the hall, at least to the spawn point of the grinder spider that drops an wicked cool looking piercer 9/27 2AC and sometimes you will get a retainer/lurker/purifier in place of the grinder as well.
