Mujaki the Devourer  

Went in with a 72 Pali, 80 wizzy with 80 cleric bot all ok geared, and an 80 cleric Soltaris geared. Each took a tombstone with bot in center and waves came 3 each +1, then 3 waves +2, finally a last +1. Only 1 mob made the stage and he just stood there during both main fights so no worries. Solt geared cleric tanked and both fights were very straight forward with no surprises. Entire episode over in about 20 minutes from the time we entered PoN to the time we entered guild lobby victorious. Thanks to Unyielding, his bot Drotub, and Princessemmiee for the awesome help!

can port with 1 user/char now..............

Okay so I was honestly very intimidated before going into this for my Pally 1.5 drop. I even had our guild leader a bit nervous. But here's how it went down...
1st: Raid force of 24 average level of 68
Because I have never done the event before i wandered around trying to find the stage and all of the sudden all of the paladins and healers were ported back to Plane of Knowledge at the top of the library (HINT: Paladin who requests the raid HEAD STRAIGHT FOR THE STAGE...also have everyon else head there ASAP.)So after we figured this out we had everyone who didn't get ported TL and return to nightmare.....
2nd: Raid force of 20 average of 68...EASY AS PIE I honestly can't tell you the makeup we used...but it was like 1 war as MT (14k buff'd) 1SK as ramptank (13k buff'd) and then two pallies just in case...we had two elite Rangers helping w/ trueshot and such. He WAS slowable by a beasty....this guys aren't any harder then they used to be.

Wave 1: 1 helot/??? of mujaki
Wave 2: 1 helot/??? of Mujaki
Wave 3: 1 helot/??? of mujaki
Wave 4: 2 helot/??? of Mujaki
Wave 5: 2 helot/??? of Mujaki
wave 6: 2 helot/??? of Mujaki
Wave 7: 1 helot/??? of Mujaki

After a few seconds Mujaki became targetable...he fears which is fun so set yourselves to walk and zerg him...no strat here just ZERG! keep him centerd on stage though!
After he dies the Shade AUTOMATICALLY respawns...same strat ZERG! Easy...i'm serious I am so relieved..hopefully Cursebearer in WoS is this easy (yeah righ :p)

Looking at your group lineups I see one small problem as to why you think these mobs are hard or they are taking so long to kill. These mobs are undead. I have done this event many times before it was revamped for the Pally epic, and the only difference now is that you get the Shade of Mujaki the Devourer at the end.

I repeat, these mobs are undead, you need to make sure your groups are heavy on the classes that have undead nukes. That would be Pallies, Clerics, Necros and SKs, then fill in with other dps classes and a slower/crowd control(which really the necros are perfectly capable of doing on these mobs) but I would suggest a shaman over a chanter.

Your best tank on this mob is a Pally or an SK, believe me forget the warrior for this one. Now if you have done your groups the way I suggested those horses that spawn shouldn't be any problem to grab and kill, sick the necro pets on them.

I am at the point in paladin epic 1.5 to take out this guy... I read posts concerning difficulty and decided(following a quote) that he could be done with 8-10 people. So i gather 15, most of the them were eplane VT/Eplane geared people all of good skill. We had:
4 clerics 65+
3 paladins 65+
2 rangers 65+
2 warriors one 65 but boxed and not well geared one 57
1 62 monk boxed
1 65 enchanter
1 65+ druid
1 65 bard

The wave portion was cake, after that was done and Mujaki was targettable i engaged, being the main tank (9.5k pally)
We just didnt have the DPS... quite frankly we were getting owned, I stayed up most of the fight but fear was messing with my agro, he didnt hit so hard (843 seemed to be his max with full defensive AAs minus OoWs) his tap combined with our poor DPS was making the fight a stand still, mind you this is the old mujaki not the epic shade that spawns after his death... my guess is that he has been a bit beefed since several people on our mini raid had taken him before under different circumstances and said he was nothing like that... and he was yellow to a 68 as well...

Paladins seeking your piece from him beware: bring all youve got as 24 is the max that will be ported into his area.

Can this guy be Highsun'ed by a bard using Fearless disc to get him out of his group of mobs?

Our guild on Tarew Marr tried this script last night and I'd thought I'd post our experience. Much of the information here was extremely useful, however there were some additional things that we learned that I can share with you all.

First of all, our guild is a casual/family oriented guild which does not raid often. We've killed things such as Klandicar, Doomshade, Rumblecrush, Xanamech ... stuff like that. We're not hard-core by any means, but we like to have fun and try new and challenging stuff. This script seemed right up our alley.

We formed groups outside of PoNightmare (22 total members), lev'd/invis'd, zoned in, and met up at the Hedge. We buffed there, I summed up the strategies to everyone, and we began killing our way to the Gargoyle City. We made our way through the left-most edge of the garg city until we met up with Etumer. At that point, we ported in ... all except for one 53 Warrior in the last group. /boggle

Here was where I found my first misconception. Some had said that the event took place in a squarish place, with a partial wall that split the area in half. This led me to believe that the area was not very large but, in fact, it's decent sized. Additionally, it has buildings and structures throughout each side of the wall. The partial wall (with openings on either side) splits the area in half, with one half to the North and one half to the South. You will be ported in near the Northernmost corner of the area. Mujaki is in the Southern half. Take your raid South and around the partial wall (either left or right). Mujaki will be facing South, very near the partial wall with his back to it. He's on a VERY slightly raised concrete platform that is fairly large. The obelisks that his servants spawn from are found directly to the East, West, and South of Mujaki and are further away from the platform than I imagined.

We decided to assign the first three groups to each obelisk and have the fourth group act as a floater group to assist others. Another misconception that I had was that the waves were going to start immediately after porting in. This is not the case ... you do have a few minutes to organize yourselves around the obelisks, but NOT enough time to worry about any rebuffs and such.

Our raid had no problems with the first few waves but started to fall behind, mainly due to the horses that spawned which, evidently, are not part of the script of mobs which joins Mujaki on his platform. On a side, if anyone has any strats for handling these horses (they are not mezzable, etc), please let me know.

Eventually, we consolidated the raid to one of the obelisks (East one, but it was arbitrary) so we could use more teamwork. A few people kited some of the mobs but all in all it was an extremely crazy time! After everything was said and done, 8 out of the 36 servants of Mujaki made it up to the platform. Another note, the servants of Mujaki become both untargettable AND mounted when they make it to the front of the platform. I didn't realize that they became mounted upon horses. After the waves had finished, we rez'd the few deaths and rebuffed, all the while discussing the solution to our next problem.

Now we had the problem of trying to pull Mujaki away from his posse. Knowing that he casted Fear frequently during pull and ran faster than his friends, we used a Shadowknight with Fearless and a Rogue (me) with Fearless to pull. SK disc'd fearless, pulled Mujaki (with no damage), and kited him around the South half of the event area while the raid waited at the Northeast side of the Southern half (behind the East obelisk). Once Mujaki was far enough away from his friends (twice around the kite track), SK feigned. I disc'd fearless and sneak pulled him (Rogue style), solo, to the raid. He tried to fear me no less than 5 times on my way back to the raid, so Fearless is critical.

For our guild, the fight with Mujaki lasted longer than any other fight we've encountered but, in the end, we prevailed with only two deaths. He dropped the FT1 ring x 2, ethereal parchment, and two rifts. Looking back, I wish we had a tad more DPS to better keep up with the waves, but this was the most fun I had in EQ in quite some time.

Hope this was helpful,

just did this gut with 4 groups of 60+ people alot got to middle ( bout 8) we got an sk to fd pull.. got Muj by him self but managed to beat him over to the adds we all got whiped out.. was fun though

Oh and to add to that. Cold Fire and Magic based spells land fine. Don't try casting Poison or Disease spells, they won't land.

Did him last night 2 times. To answer a few questions all the skellys are lower then level 60 and hit for about 300-450 with no damage migration. The waves do not wait for you to kill others. Found the best way to do it was to put a group at each of the 3 graves and have 4th rove helping those 3 groups.

Killed him last night. He dropped the Cloak, Earring, and two group evac riftstones (that's how you get the melee out if you don't have enough porters)

It's a fun event with decent loot, definitely try your best to kill all 36 spawns, it makes the end fight much easier.

Hits 205 - 843
Fully slowable
Also procs a 150 pt lifetap (which is pretty inconsequential) to wit:
You feel a terrifying grasp on your mind. You have taken 150 points of damage.
Mujaki the Devourer feels much better.

The 36 mobs are NOT mezzable. Any horses you see are normal spawns and not part of the event.
Doable without a bard... our tank (warrior) dropped like a 2 dollar whore. I grabbed agro, popped fearless... of course 30 seconds later I'm runnin like a girl. But with uber paladin agro he still stayed on me, and our warrior was the only death. We only let one add get to him (I think off the first wave), just tank mezzed it.

Elentari's holy blade cleanses her target!(3226)
You crush Mujaki the Devourer for 3226 points of damage.

He didn't stand a chance :)

He uses "instill nightmare" a -300mr check fear, made this interesting to start but a pushover once we got MR song going.

Just did a raid on him tonight. It being our first time to attempt him we didnt know much about how the event worked. When we got ported in we were still talking things over...we thought it would start the same way the hedge quest starts, but we found that the mobs start spawning pretty soon once you get ported in. So make sure that you port in when you are fully ready to run to the grave stones and start killing. Next time he is going down hehe

Want to try this. Seems fun. Anyone know other drops from this guy?

Always wondered who that guy was in the EQ start up, now I know:)

Very fun triggered event. Designed for 4 groups, but with proper strategy doable with less. We're planning a revisit to him soon, will post loot screenshots once we have em.
