I have camped this mob for the last 7-8 days, over 30 hours this week. Dropped easily 20 Xalgoz and 20 PH's quickly altering my fraction in OT. Now I come to the board to find out its been moved?!! Oh hell na, CAN anyone back up the claim that this has been moved? I expected it to be rare, but if its not even there I'm going
to be one pi**ed off Necro.

Someone told me stats were 6 int, 55 mana, is this pic wrong or old or were they just lying?
Hehe!

Epic Snare/1200 damage dot, swap then fear with staff...jboot to scamper behind the mob...right click necro quest book for allure of death effect...right click bone bracer of condemnation, for a nice fast 500dd, right click bone ring of condemnation for lifetap to offset allure effect...hmm...right click nightshade staff for debuff...throw on an actual mana consuming dot...nah:)
(i know i know..epic is long cast, fear staff is long cast...but fun to think of an all right click battle../sigh)
Killer staff

For those of you saying it isn't any good you dont know how to use it. This item saves me over a full bubble of mana and seeing as how you can kill most blue mobs on one bubble of mana this item rules. You dont use this as your 1st fear (or when something is beating on you) the cast time is too long, this is to keep the mob feared without wasting mana or for when regular fear is resisted. The regular snare/pet/fear works fine, med up then when you fear is about to wear off use this then go back to medding. I solo twice as fast with this item and i love my guild for giving it to me when they were camping Xalgoz for teeth. If your not fear kiting stow it away and grab your int/mana items... cant lose with this one, one of my top 3 favorite click items :)


Misc info: the cast time is aproxx 7 to 9 seconds making it about 3 times longer than your regular fear, it has an instant recast.It has to be equipped to use it.

In a lot of ways having a 2hb staff is never going to be worth the lost secondary slot, although in some situations I can see where I might wield this.
Still Drops

I also got one on 6-7-01 about 12:30 am est.
I had been camping Xalgoz off and on for 5 days, I would say I killed about 25 or so Xalgozs (and a lot of damn PH's) when he fianlly dropped it.
Except for poeple wanting the occasional Fang, this dungeon is empty, if you can stand the bordom of a 30min spawn anyone can get this staff, just keep pluggin away, it will drop.

Was helping two friends camp Xalgoz on 06/06/01 to obtain the Xalgozian Fang when this item dropped. Anyone have any idea the current price for this item?

Glad to hear it still drops, I have wasted more time than I care to admit, approaching near 100 hours with no drop. I heard it dropped once for someone else during the weeks I've been camping it. I'm Brell's Xalgoz fang getting tour guide. So if you need help getting your fang for hs key, send me a tell on Brell. I'll show you around. Nithusezni, 50th necro, Deadly Nightshade

quick question... was wondering if you had to eq the staff to cast it or is it like j-boots where you can just have it in inventory...if you can cast from inventory then i would say most definatly worth the extra cast time.... just my two cents...

Used intelligently this staff is a lifesaver. A druid friend and I took down the Corrupted Seafury for his Epic a few ago. He pulled it to beach then snared it, I cast the spell invoke fear, dotted it, then chain casted invoke fear with the staff. New dot, fear, new dot, fear and so on.
The poor critter couldnt do anything but run then die.
Its not good in all situations of course, I almost never use it in dungeons, but in places like Dreadlands its worth its wieght in Blue Diamonds )

That's a lot of blue diamonds. Maybe unstacked.

move into the church, off to the side of the main To the Side of the main room there is a side hallway, pull to there. I pulled sigles as a 51 necro...i pulled with bond of death, litch, root, let the pet kill it, BOD will keep you at full health, clear out the 4 infront of Xalgoz, then move up to the church and pull Xalgoz or his place holder, set the alarm clock and go to bed for 25 mins. then repeat. I have camped him for over 45 hours with no luck......lets hope it still drops

RE: Price?
# Aug 01 2001 at 9:03 AM Rating: Decent
Some people have lives and don't have a week solid to dedicate to EQ. Or possibly they want to gain exp durring that week. I have not attempted this myself but I have heard horror stories. Just because you can camp it, dosn't mean it's not REALLY rare.... ever tried to get a sarnak earring of station? GL.
Staff Still Great
# Apr 23 2001 at 11:47 AM Rating: Default
What Shroud say's is true, it has a long cast time but he forgot to mention one aspect. When you pull things you have time to send the pet in and fear it with the staff saving some nice mana, good for fearing multiple mobs when they agro on your pet which they often do, if your grouping with another the mob often attracts them if they are closer making it valuable again if well used. This is all I have to say, rumors are the drop got nerfed so its rare and the new one procs fear not sure if thuis is true or not. Just got one of these = ) Very nice and its not just a toy.

I recently had a friend loan me this staff. I've tried using it and I have to be honest, I dont think it's hardly worth what everyone is paying. The cast time on it is about 3 or 4 seconds longer than your spell invoke fear. I tried using it and went back to the spells. Yes it's nifty, looks cool and is nice to have for emergencies, but I dont use it anymore. I just carry it around for looks when i'm not fighting. If you try to cast this while a mob is on you you'll never and I mean NEVER get fear off,, I can get the spell off almost every time though,,,, food for thought.

Well I spent about 40 collective hours over 4 days trying to get this bad boy. I killed about 35 xalgs and 45 PH's, it's a very demoralizing camp, before the staff dropped there were 8 PH's in a row, and when I looted it, i thought it was just a regular fine steel great staff till I checked out the stats, very painful but very rewarding camp.
Not Moved

-Its still drops off Xalgoz but it is extremely rare.
Price gouging....
# Mar 20 2001 at 12:42 PM Rating: Default
Some loser Aenaelil or something has gouged the price by entering 70-some odd price quotes, he must have been scamming someone. Price is more like 25k not 4k.
where does it drop now

Whoever the Aene guy that filled up the pricing data with bogus info is, thanks we appreciate that. Due to it's rarity, this sells for 25k on Mith Marr.

Xalgoz is perma-camped for Howling Stones keys and there are less than 10 of these on the server, if that gives you any idea of the rarity. Don't know if it's been moved, I've had mine for months.
