lost the first one because we targeted Nitram by mistake. Took on the next day with 81 sk, 81 nec, 77 pal, 77 dru, 81 (T5) clr, and 77 (T1) tank. Overkilled but it was cool. Only hard part was killing adds.

Advise: Go ahead and clear most of it while someone holds Nitram by hailing him once in a while. Then give the pieces and follow him. Xanamech attacks him when you get up there so make sure you get agro off him quick.

Dropped: Ethereal Parchment, Innovators Ring, Woven Shim Choker, Saltpeter, Gears, and Copper Node

Good luck everyone!

Easy Fight

I just killed Xanamech with 4 people, Very Easy fight.
I took my 75 Beastlord ( Beastboy ) 560AAs, 10k unbuffed CoA gear mostly.
My 69 Cleric Lucifersx, My friends a 70 Ranger Tuidyl, and a 70 Pally Saeel.

Pally MTanked, health really never dropped below 90%,
My Cleric just casted HoT Pious Elixir,
My Beastlord just Burned DPS and slowed, (very resistant)
Dont know what Ranger did lol, but he got the Final Blow lol.

Xanamech hit me for a Max of 760,
We all had Heal Pots, so really didnt heal much at all with my cleric.
twice i CHed our Pally,

Only bad part about this encounter is getting Nitram to Xanamech, he will attack every mob along the way ><. I think that was harder then Xanamech lol.
But was easy just time consuming.

Xanamech did NOT Flurry or Rampage,
Total time was about 2 minuts at best,

You will have to collect 3 items to give to Nitram ( walks around entrance)
In order to activate Xanamech, took about 30 minuts of killing trash.
Only 1 person needs to collect.

As the game progresses, it's funny to see how older raiding targets are easily becoming boxable, and in some cases soloable.

I killed Xanamech today (17 December 2006) with a 74 Warrior (about 12.4k HP unbuffed, BBoB/1.5, Qvic-ish quality armor with 1 Anguish aug) and a 71 Cleric (8k mana unbuffed, 1 piece of Qvic armor, no other raid gear).

I was surprised at how fast he hit and although he hit pretty low most of the time, I did get hit upwards of 1200 at one point. It took about 15 minutes to kill him and had 2 close calls (Warrior under 10%). Dropped Spiked Driver, Pulsing Phase Emitter, 2 power cells and some other random trash. No parchments.

Good day though, 2 boxed the PoN Hedge event, now this. :)

Maybe solution to gnome running off.

Question of can the gnome be rooted to keep him safe while fighting Xana? Maybe then you would not have him running off without getting flagged. This may cause the one that rooted him not to get flagged for the factory but maybe it would ensure that everyone else did.

Took him out today, 4 toons, 70 sk, ench, druid boxed by me, and a 75 pally friend. SK tanked, slow took about 20 trys to land, once it was on I hardly needed to heal anymore, but it was already down to about 25% by then.

Undying Alliance had an open raid night and got somewhere around 40 participants in killing Xanamech. Went in not having the items for the quest, so just ran around slaughtering anything in our path. Didn't take Greasy...but did have someone train us with Junk Beast and a ton of adds.
After plowing through that and getting the rest of the pieces, we paved the way for the gnome, got into Xana's room and the fight was over pretty quick. Was on my SK and he hit's for 800 pretty fast like I saw someone else say in a previous post. Oil Spray (Darkness type dot) wasn't fun, but nonetheless dropped him quick with fw deaths.
Very great raid :-) Dropped the driveshaft, caster shield and an EP. Friend got the driveshaft (Gratz Cenarye). Were gonna go after Behemoth right after, but most had to leave as it took awhile to set up raid. Will be hitting Behemoth hopefully this coming Saturday!
Oh and watch the AE nukes on the way to Xana with the gnome in tow...we almost lost him a couple times...

just did this with 2 mage, 2 sk clr and shammy, only 2 times did gnome attack one of us, shammy gated and sk fd and killed pet to get it off, other than that just make sure tank/tanks, have agro on all mobs then he just adds dps. Mages would usually scout ahead and get pets on everything, then after that sks would just run in and kill stuff...Xanamech only took about 4 mins to kill got down to 30 mana however forgotten that I had put a Grp heal up and was casting that instead of Light...all in all very fun.

Used to love this guy, the script is fun. Figured i'd try to duo it with my shaman box, monk friend decided to tag along. We dropped him in about 12 min, got driveshaft and caster shield. Easiest way i found to do it was to dreadgaze nitram so he was aggro on me whole time, then clear way to xana's lair and fd him off, while shaman was tank mezzing last mob, when fd cleared, stand up, kill last mob and kill xana. was a blast

Tried to 3box this guy today, 70 druid / warrior / chanter, did not mez the gnome, instead pulled 2 mobs at once during walk and let nitram help out with some dps... druid would solo 1 mob while warrior soloed other, neither needed any heals with lifetapping weapons, as long as there is a mob where you want nitram to stay he will keep himself busy. The walk was not a problem, dragon is another story. After tash, 8 slows did not stick, 10.5k unbuffed warrior fully buffed in defensive was taking hits of about 800 very fast, spamming druid quick heals could barely keep up. Slowed im sure it is very doable... but take a shaman if your going to try boxing him. The ae's werent a problem with GoD gear. Exodus was handy, and maybe will try the dragon again sometime with a shaman.

I'm posting this here cause unless I missed something I did not read this information on any other post. We attempted Xanamech tonight and got to the shack fine. Turned in the items to Nitram and started following him and *boom* he starts beating on a raid member in wolf form. They zone and Nitram returns to his route, then another person in wolf form on raid who did not see the other wolf formed person get aggro, got aggro. Kinda went down hill from there, but we did learn. DO NOT USE WOLF FORM around Nitram. He will attack you.

Lady P is correct.....wolf form will get you in big trouble.

This is still true for other zones too. I was in PoG yesterday. As a Ranger I was ally to everything. I cast wolf form on myself (as I hate going around anywhere unless I am hauling as*) when I was alone, and then conned a horse that was ally to....I was then defensive. BIG drop. Needless to say, I clicked that off REAL fast and put SOW on. Ran to Earthmelder, turned in heads and got my Helm of the Tracker.

Don't use Wolf form unless you con the mobs first. End of story. No if ands or buts.

Wolf form has always had faction adjustments associated with it and still does.

For example, the Firiona Vie outpost. Even though it's been relocated to that small island on the east side of the zone, the guards still attack you on sight if you are in wolf form.

I can testify that wolf form does indeed still have faction adjustments in some places as I was recently killed by Severilous [that would be Ring of Scale faction, ie, Gorenaire too] in Emerald Jungle because of it. When I returned to get my body as a human, I conned as apprehensive and could run up and say hi to him.

Wolf form still srews up faction with some mobs, especially gnomes. It lowers Dragorn Loyalist faction and faction with the Thurgadin Dwarves.

this mob is easy to kill, the best way in my view is to get yourself 2 level 65 pallys, 65 enc, 2 clerics and 1 druid,couple rangers to shoot at him and warrior to tank, use only spam heals for this guy, forget the ol CH chain, just spam with tiny and fast heals, get him slowed and hes a baby, just keep tanks up and let the arrows fly, and have the pallys cast there group heals, easily 2 grouped 1 group is pushing it, but it can be done if u got the right class's.

Lol yes bring clerics... You will need them for the rezzes after you all die. There is a reason people "raid" him. Plus the gnome would probably die on the way there since you have no bard or chanter to mez him. Silly goose. =)

Took down this beast a while back, and was in the raid with Darst (see post below) was pretty simple for a 56 person raid of 55+, but the gnome did run off about 2 minutes after Xanamech died, nobody got their factory key that night. :P

Almost immediately after the gnome ran away and depopped, Junk Beast spawned on us. Took him down, he was almost harder than Xanamech. :P

I won the Woven Shim Choker, and unfortunately, a few people blamed me for ninja looting the Innovator's ring, I'm a sensible player, and the fact that a Shadowknight can't use the ring backs me up.

Was a really fun raid, managed to get the gate talisman peices from the walk to Xanamech and was an easy yet fun raid.
#mjnog, Posted: Aug 03 2004 at 9:19 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) So which class can wear the choker and the ring at same time or did ya essentialy trade off the choker for ring :P Well its late and I'm bored and can't imagine how you don't feel guilty if you took both pieces of loot.

Actually, it looks like he won the choker, but people blamed him for looting both.

Now, it's possible he could have looted the ring by accident, and then looted his choker... and it's also possible that someone else could have ninja'd the ring...

If people logged the looting decisions and contacted a GM when something went fishy... this could have been resolved.

Ok, there is a 'no mezz' point beyond which if you mezz the gnome, you get no turn in. I can't describe it exactly, but its pretty early in the last straight away. I would say don't mez within site of the metal platform on the final leg.

We did the 'gnome walk' with a chanter/bard...the bard would mez, then release and chanter would mem blur (I always released with my back to the gnome to keep him from taking ripost damage) keeping the gnome at the back of a dungeon crawl type fight headed to Xana's spawn point.

I have heard people say you could run the gnome ahead chasing the bard(aggroed on bard after mez break, before memblur), when we did that and memblurred he went back to his last non-aggo'ed point on the walk and restarted the walk from there. I suppose a really powerful group could let him fight along with them and just zerg their way there...I

In addition, its been reported that charming the gnome even once during the walk will cause you not to get the turn in at the end.

Downed Xana last night on the Venril Sathir server in a 21 man pick up raid, no deaths flawless, lvl range was 51-65, I was 52 so, near useless only my pet did any damage. (Mage btw)

It dropped Woven Shin Collar and Cord Hilted Spike Driver which made our warrior very chuffed.

Took him down on T Marr yesterday with just over 40 people. However, chanter mezzed him during fight, so he wouldn't give us flags.

If you mez him during the fight, and he's mezzed at the dragon's death, then you won't get the flag, so any that go after him, be careful about mezzing the gnome.

Our guild Pledge of Ancients on Sol Ro server downed this tin can mob and below are some infos on him.

Can be slowed - his dps not slowed is crazy but with him slowed melee damage wasn't concerning me much. Get Malos landed with some bard help.

Not perma rooted - This guy isn't perma rooted. Before we took him out I always thought this guy would be reading some of the posts here. Imagine my surprise as MT when this mob turned its back on me to chase after clerics with his nasty AE snare on me.

Not belly cast - You do not have to be in melee range to nuke or land any spells on him. Our mage was nuking him until mana dried out from miles away. (Was able to avoid his AE as well still landing nukes)

Depending on how well you are equiped you can go anywhere from 2 to 5 clerics on this guy. 1MT is plenty, and all other healer type can focus on other ppl who will get burned on his AE. Casters can nuke him from start to end provided your MT has firm aggro.

Xanamech Nezmirthafen is a level 66 mechanical dragon, who uses 3 nasty effects and takes a raid to kill.

I would guess he summons :)

Just did Xanamech on 4/3. We did this dragon with 29 people average level 61. Was a fun battle with the AE. We had 2 65 warriors, 4 clerics and a mix of other classes. I had the shamans chain slow right away till it dropped. I WS tanked the dragon in them meantime and had the warrior take over aggro once Xanamech was slowed. Fight was about 2 minutes didn't really time it. Lost about 4-5 people during the fight but won and got the lewtz =)

tried him today with just under 3 groups of people. Had 2 Clerics, 1 Druid, 3 Shammies for healing. Ended up wiping at 13% when a darn Archaic Model repop and our Kiter got snare *shrug*

However this guy is pretty cake, considering our 3 groups lacked alot of DPS.

The dragon is slowable which makes him a hell of a lot easier. Once you get him slowed he isnt much of a challenge, pre-slow however he can do some decent damage if your not paying attention.

His AE's are more annoying than dangerous. His Snare AE really does slow you down but is no big deal. His Stun is just annoying to casters but is pretty easily resisted if you have a bard. And his AE Nuke doesnt proc overly frequently so it isnt much of a threat.

First to confirm previously provided information/guesses. Yes, he can be slowed. Disease Based Slow works just fine. How to do this properly during a Raid is outlined below. The Stun AE only impacts those within range of the front of Xanamech, not behind, so station the healers to the rear of the dragon and there will be no problems.

We has 27 people on our Raid on Xanamech, average level of 62 (we had several low 50s along with us for this one). It could easily be done with 3 full groups of adequate level and group composition (I would suggest a minimum of 3 Clerics) using the same tactics listed below.

First, your Primary Tank grabs aggro and engages blowing Furious. This is 12 seconds of immunity from melee attacks through Auto Riposte. Incite should be blown at this point as well. At 6 second point, enough aggro should be generated that the Shamans can begin casting Malos/Slow. The Disease Based slows are the only ones that stand a chance of landing, so multiple Shamans casting wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Assuming Slow lands, the encounter is an absolute cakewalk. Healers just keep up with the now Defensive Main Tank, and there should be no problems at all. The Procs are meaningless to any adequate Main Tank, whose sole interest is in maintaining aggro (easily done by throwing out the occasional Incite). With a slowed Xanamech, the Healers don't even need to worry about Chain Healing, Shamans can spot heal while the Clerics Complete Heal is waiting to go off.

If Slow doesn't land, the encounter is a little bit harder as Xanamech has a pretty nasty melee capacity when combined with his spell effects. Healers have to be on the ball in the event he doesn't get slowed or you might wind up going through a few tanks.

Magic based slows will land on Xana. You need to have Malos, tash, and Occlusion of Sound all in, but with those three debuffs in, magic based slows will land fairly easily.

We tried to slow him once without tash. 15 tries, couldn't do it, even with Malos.

Stand behind him, if you are a healer. Other wise within the first 2 sec you will get an AE stun/slow that comes out in a cone shape from him and not be able to heal the MT. This was with extended Range Item and the Maximum range from MT.
If I had only of had time to come read about the raid before hand and could have shared what I know now with others I don't think we would have wiped. He also summoned I got to casting quick heals on 3rd tank after the stun/slow AE and ADD attacked I was summoned and killed really fast. He also does something that messes with your view you can't see in first person anymore just before he summons you.

He's very resistant. Try casting Malos and Malicious Decay, and chain slow with both Turgur's and Cloud of Grummus until one sticks. Once they do, he'll go down fairly easily so long as tank stays alive.

slow does land.. I didnt think it did either because I had been on 3 xanamech raids and no shaman could get it to stick, but my 65 shaman did land turgurs insects on him. He's not immune, just incredibly resistant.

Took this guy down twice in 2 days. Avg lvl was 62 and we had about 24 peeps on the raid. Very fast and easy. I saw many posts about CH rotations. We spammed the MT with Supernal Remedy ( 1.5k heal, 1.8 sec cast time ). We had 3 clerics and the reason this is done vs CH is beause the spell has a long range and you can avoid 2 of his 3 AOE spells this way. BTW he dropped the ring the first time and the driveshaft and choker ths second time.

Before Saturday night there were only 4 people in our alliance with the PoI Dragon factory flag. We added 45 people to that list Saturday.

48 people (3 were already flagged) avg level 62 - two deaths with one of those being the sacraficial Pally laying on hands the MA before the slow so I don't count him. :)

The PoI Dragon gives out 72 flags. And there was no increase in the charm.

FYI - I lead this raid. :) From zone in until dead dragon was 70 minutes.

Killed tonight on Mith Marr server... I was MT 65 ogre war with 4300hp 1200ac unbuff.

Key things are... Have good cheal chain started right away I had 6 cleric chain. Easy to slow, get slowed early.

The mob starts neutral and non targetable like behemoth, he doesn't pop until gnome walks all the way up to him and hits him. At this point your MT should defensive disc.

Do NOT mez gnome during fight, this will cause a bug and no one will get factory flag.

It's not a bug. If you succesfully blur the memory of the gnome (which a mezz has a chance to do), he will completely forget why he's here.

Makes sense, neh ?
RE: 11/29/03
# Dec 06 2003 at 6:11 PM Rating: Decent
Bug or no bug that is incorrect.

If you mez the gnome once the fight begins you will not be able to get flagged. This is regardless of whether you blur the memory of the gnome or not.

The only time you can mez and blur is prior to engaging Xana.

Of this I am sure.

afaik, you can not mez/blur the gnome in xana's room. you have to do it before he goes through the door the xana's chamber. This is the way we have always done it and it works every time. just keep a chanter on gnome duty and he can mez/blur and walk the gnome forward as your raid kills.

You can mez and blur the gnome in Xanamech's room and still be flagged. Just make sure by the end of the fight the gnome is back on the dragon.

Theres two ways of doing this,
First mez the gnome then:
A.) Have your chanter on gnome walking duty cast dispell on the gnome, have him walk over to the dragon, and let the chanter die.
Or
B.) Get a group of chanters, have one dispell when the fights dieng down, and have the rest mem blur all at once before the chaneter bites it.

The gnome wont get his hands very dirty and you'll still get flags.

Pretty cake encounter.

Last night was my first encounter with Xanamech Nezmirthafen. Tactics we used were pretty simple; had 3 main tanks with an order established for them. Healers did their job. I don't remember seeing a msg stating he was slowed but I am assuming he was because our main tank never fell. His DR is quite high. He is fulnerable to the boiling blood line of necro dots. His MR is not very high. Was able to tap him with ease. What worried me was his AOEs which I was told were deadly. They landed for at most 800dmg and thru the entire encounter may of landed on me 3 times.

Casters stayed behind him and tanks in front. Was a pretty easy victory. Gnome died though. Didn't get flagged :[

Very easy if you approach it right, Get it slowed ASAP, get a MT on it, get heals on the MT, keep MGB EE handy.

To those of you bragging about how easy he is. Thanks for nothing. Kudos to you for your uberness and a generous helping of BenGay for those muscle aches from patting yourselves on the back. For those few of you who actually offered some advice on how to take this mob, a very sincere thank you.

Maybe the blur didn't take. I accidentally mezzed after fight started and the blur component blurred him and we got no flags.
