Okay, i've never been to Corathus Creep. This dropped off a Seafury Cyclops in OOT for me while working on my Druid Epic, a glitch perhaps? Anyways, LOVE it!
[Sat May 19 08:48:41 2007] This corpse will decay in 5 minute(s) 55 seconds. [Sat May 19 08:48:47 2007] Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Hello? Is someone there? Please don't hurt me.' [Sat May 19 08:48:47 2007] --You have looted a Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling.--
Was given this shield when I hit lev 56. Wore it constantly including during a fair ammount of solo work. It evolved to stage two at level 66. It evolved to level three at lev 70 (one blue from lev 71) - during that time I also got 35 AAs. If you want to see this thing evolve, be prepared to wait :-) It evolved the first time on someone else's kill, on my kill on the second time - I don't think getting the kill makes a massive difference to the evolution rate.
Nogglegrop Findlebar is fairly common on the Antonious (Kane) Bayle server. Though I've been camping it for about 2 days, going on a metalic killing spree for hours, it hasn't dropped. But, while killing with a few friends for some bolts, it dropped about 3-4 times, almost in a row (and I still didnt get it -.-; )
heh, i was doing some banking after selling junk to teh merchants....when i see a superplated gnomework walk by with this thing equipped. i figured wth, its only one faction hit for an easy baz lewt.
Went into Corathus today and this dropped from the fourth Creep Reaper I killed. I was camping Scuttlebucket for pants at the time, but it's very convenient when waiting for respawn to kill two nearby reapers. I would recommend focusing on reapers if you can because it's visible on them quite distinctly (looks like graphic and has moving gears on either side), and you can try to reverse neg expedition faction from scuttlebucket or PH.
Dropped last night off a regular creep reaper at the fort-like thing - I'd been hunting them for a couple weeks with a friend, and he didn't believe it could drop off any mob until he pulled a reaper and saw it was carrying a tiny shield. We killed it and indeed it was this shield - woot me!! Very rare but persistence pays off.
I've been able to get this shield up to 14%. I have it on my lvl 56 Mage. I do alot of soloing to make sure I can get the kills needed for it to apply to the progression. It is very slow but the results should be well worth the time it takes to evolve. Good luck and make sure you have alot of patience if you have one of these. :)
When in combat: Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Must you always be hurting things? It's much safer if we just find a nice, safe place to rest and wait until the nasty things of the world move along to something else.'
Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Why do they hate you so? Perhaps you could be nicer to them and they wouldn't try to kill you all the time.'
Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'You've angered that . . . Thing. I think it might be best if you were to avoid that in the future.'
Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Look out!'
When you get hit: Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Please, put me away. I don't know if I can take this anymore.'
Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'If you keep that up I'm going to insist that you put me away.'
When you aggro a mob: Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Must you use so much force and be so . . . aggressive? Hurt them and they will want to hurt you.'
Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Perhaps if you apologize it won't be too upset with you.'
Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Stop that, please. Let's get out of here before it hits me, er, you.'
When you enter a new zone: Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Where are we now? I can't see too well locked inside all this metal you know.'
When you de-equip him: Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling says, 'Oh, that's the best idea you've had all day. I didn't ask to be made into a shield you know.'
When he evolves: Your Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Unwilling has evolved! Nogglegrop Fendlebar the Abiding says, 'Well, I understand now that despite all of your efforts to prove otherwise, I seem to be pretty near invulnerable. If you have failed to get me destroyed so far, I suppose I might last forever. I don't think you can scare me anymore.'
