Can aoe these down if you have the right classes. They spawn either DB or LB and aren't very tough.

As of today (at least), she does /con as a raid mob, with the "large force" message as opposed to the "small force" one.

She's not a raid mob.. Or at least when I went to visit her to kill her and conned her, she didn't show up as a raid mob.

I remember this being a teir one raid mob. A lot of lowbie guilds 46 to 60 ish raided for the recc 50 gear. Only reason the 65's blew through her was to get to Bert and higher.

I solo'd spider today with my lvl 68 magician (with 512 aa's) and a merc, was pretty simple and a fun fight, wasnt even close, dropped book i needed for quest.
Continued in, and fought the 4 clerics around the corner just passed the fake door, was a much longer and tougher fight, had to sic pet on 3 and pull one to the room where the spider was so he couldnt get healed.
Kept going to see if I could try grummus, but he was no where to be seen, so i jumped into the hole and ported me to crypt of decay.

73 Paladin soloed him this morning with healer merc. Merc spent most of its mana healing itself from the constant ramps.

Duoed her today with a 74 cleric tank and a 70 bst. She is perma rooted, i couldn't pull her out of the room. Her dots are easy to cure with RC (i only have 3 ranks and it got both dots). Was an easy fight with VoV cleric tank. The little ones got us because i forgot about them... by the time i was aware it was too late. Didn't get to loot. Oh well, was a fun fight... good times....

70 ranger. Max AAs.
Outfitted in a mix of Anguish, DoN, and PoR.

took 25 minutes to get to it. got lazy and harmo'ed the trash after Gryme. Aramin doesn't assist his guards. Aramin himself took approximately 6 minutes. Hail of Arrows > spider babies.

dropped pulp, bracer of bile, and eth parch. Good times.

This was probably flagged as a raid encounter back when Planes of Power was released 4 or so years ago. Max level was 60 + general, arctype, and class AA's. Max gear was Vex Thal. So yeah it was a raid encounter back then. Too many people these days smash down old conent or old posts whithout realizing that every 2 expansions signifigantly trivialize post content, especially after 4-6 added AA sets and 5-10 levels.

Max level in PoP was 65, and this mob was always 1 groupable.

Killing her with a group of 65-70 was easy. The adds at the end were difficult. Somehow we got 2 knights thrown in... So be careful not to aggro the knights.

Did this mob today 3 boxxing. 70 warrior, 70 cleric, 70 bard. Bard slow landed almost every time w/o any debuffs at all. Cleric ended up getting on rampage (oops), but that made no difference. Cleric ended fight at 80m. No book for my alt wizzie :(
Not a Raid Mob anymore
# Oct 13 2004 at 8:51 PM Rating: Decent
No longer a raid mob...68 Pally, 67 Druid, 65 Shaman, and two 67 Beastlords...Mostly VexThal geared with some PoP mob pieces...times are surely changing. MA was 8.8K group buffed.


Owned him for the run into beastlord epic groundspawn.

Aramin the spider guardian encounter
# Jul 11 2004 at 5:31 PM Rating: Decent
This mob is found in the castle in plane of disease, past gryme the crypt keeper.

He is perma-rooted so he can be slowed and debuffed before engaging, he has about 4 mobs in his room. 2 which seem to be exclusive to this room.

Aramin the spider guardian is fully slowable, he enrages and I believe he rampages, his AE's rarely go off, and he is A LOT easier then gryme(who supposedly guards the castle).

The signet of withering flesh is his most common drop. Book is most rare.

Edit:

His spawn time is not the same as Gryme's. His spawn time is between 5 hours and 24 hours as best as I can figure.

Why is this book 2nd to last and not last for phylactery quest? Don't the books get progressively harder to get?
Velk's spellbook seems significantly easier to this....
RE: ?
# Mar 23 2004 at 3:57 PM Rating: Decent
Not really velks still takes about 2-3 groups of decently equipped people. Where as Aramin can be done with one group or less. This being that their isn't any good charmed dps around and velk isn't slowable
RE: ?
# Sep 04 2005 at 12:36 AM Rating: Decent
LOL A War friend and I (druid) did him. Velk is not often up because he is an easy 1 group.

# Jun 29 2004 at 12:35 PM Rating: Default
velketor can be done with less then a group. My warrior tanked him with 3 people and most of his gear was bought from bazaar, nothing from vex thall or ep or anything like that..

Single grouped it with cleric, SK, rogue, chanter, ranger, shaman (all 65, but ranger 64); with about ntov-tier 1 quality gear.
On the way Gryme is a fun fight, but cleric had celestial regeneration, that helped a lot.

What we forgot to prepare for is that Aramin rampages. Because I (the shaman) debuffed him before engaging, I ended up rampage tanking it (taking 30-50 percent of life per rampage); which wasn't the ideal, but could still do it.

We died to the little spiders (quickly looted Aramin), but didn't expect to survive them anyway.
#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 17 2004 at 12:01 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Boxed him alone with 3 chars. Piece of cake
Bugged?!
# Dec 31 2003 at 4:31 PM Rating: Decent
Took a raid of 72 to take out the queen (since Grum wasn't up). Whole zone was bugged it seemed. First the door wouldn't open with the key, then when we killed the queen, instead of something like 8 or maybe 12 spiders...22 poped!!! Then when my ML went to go loot a ring that dropped...it poofed..wtf lol.

A little tip that works with many key/door combinations, and is especially useful for jails with bars over them, as clicking on them (and on the door behind Gryme) doesn't seem to work.

Put the key on your cursor as you normally would, but instead of clicking on the door, just hold the cursor over the door and press the "U" (for Use) key. Works like a charm.

I hope that helps in the future.
