Took him down with 64 shm (me) and 65 monk. Cleared from far hallway, into the temple. Monk could paic and single pull. Only prob was keepin mob rooted after 20% (monk had a 43/30 with 2 procs, kept breaking root). The actual fight was cake, first slow landed, monk popped InnerFire and Whirlwind discs on him, didnt need to heal once. Dropped Earring and CHoS.

Have been camping the King room for the last couple days off and on on the stromm server, just invis group and walk down, room has 5 spawns in it, can solo pull each of them at 59, as my warrior, love the small aggro range in the zone. He doesnt hit very hard, was smacking me for around high 200's and once he was slowed, went down like all other pathetic goblins. Seems to be great xp for our group of 56-60 with little to no risk of death.

Group consisted of 59 warrior, and my boxxed 59 cleric, 59 chanter that has been with me from lev 1, rl friend that we play our trio together, 56 shammy who never had a problem slowing, regardless of level, and 61 necro...all from my guild. Cleared out his room and than moved in to pull inside, seeing as on Stromm server this zone is almost perpetually empty, camp is always open. Had 3 CHoS drops in 4 hours or so as well as some pretty good xp. The CHoS' went to our guild, to help equip the masses but all in all a successful camp, and will be back again.

raid or not to raid?
# Mar 15 2004 at 12:59 PM Rating: Decent
well, sure, it would be a good training style raid for mid 50's to 65 groups who want some fantastic selliung loot, like the copper hammer of striking, (above) sells for 12k on my server, alot of nice drops here, & I for one, LOVE the exp bonus here, but enough about that, a solid group of 65's could fight the'r way thru here to dronan & wipe him out, no probs, heck, they are only filthy goblins....

Yes, he summons.
Hits close to 300 but not quite if I remember right.
Not on a timer, has a PH (which is obvious if you read the posts below).
Pretty sure he is snareable and rootable. Is also slowable and mezzable.
RE: info
# Apr 13 2004 at 5:41 PM Rating: Decent
The king does not summon. The only mob that summons in all of droga or nurga is the end mob for the free the slaves ring. That's it. He also hits in the low 200's just like any other normal cave lord. The only difference btw the King and a cave lord is that it seems he has a few more HPs than the norm. I could be wrong on that due to he would be the only one that the named has a different amount of HPs compared to its PH, but he is the "boss mob" for droga so I would believe after killing him earlier today that it is true that he has more than the norm.

Edit: read the rest of the initial post. He is snareable, rootable even though it drops very quickly and slowable. As soon as he is slowed he is very, very easy. Unslowed you would definitely need a cleric or dr00d. Cleric perferrably for myself but I am fine with my shm. I would strongly recommend that you bring a chanter or shm for slow ... don't have to worry about adds unless you do a bad pull which is actually difficult to do. The kings room is easily single pulled as well. The only time you should get 2 mobs is with the entrance that has 2 mobs of the same class directly inside so when you pull the one you can see another will come. That is even easy unless you get 2 SKs and then expect to be HTed for close to 1k dmgx2. Then just have that heal ready to go and again you will be fine.

See this article on another site for all locs of all named in the Temple of Droga. The King is in the downstairs room at the listed loc.
RE: location
# Aug 29 2004 at 8:53 PM Rating: Decent
Judging from what people have said in this forum, looks like you are after room 1 on http://www.eqatlas.com/kunark/templeofdroga2map.html
LOC = p1900, p700
Immediately North of the Pool room in the Inner Sanctum

I've not camped him, so hope I got all that correct for you.

what is the approx percentage of chance of getting a PH vs getting a King ?
RE: Rarity ?
# Feb 28 2004 at 5:30 PM Rating: Decent
Based on my experience here, without keeping exact track of the spawns, I would estimate that about 25% of the time the King will spawn and 75% of the time it will be a PH.

I'd say you'd be very lucky to get 1 in 4 spawns to be King Dronan. I've camped his room several times and every time it was more like 1 in 10. Everyone's mileage will vary though.

Ive spent countless time in Droga. I would personally say 20% chance to spawn. 20 minute respawn and 20% chance to get the rare for every named in the whole cave. But as the above poster said, mileage may vary. Luckily his hammer isnt the rare.
#REDACTED, Posted: Dec 11 2003 at 6:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) u guys think a 65 ranja could solo dis. no flames plz
RE: solo
# Aug 04 2004 at 2:33 AM Rating: Default
I'll ignore the please, and once again focus on your inability you type TWO MORE LETTERS instead of "u"... or THIS... instead of "dis"... I mean, you MIGHT be able to argue "plz" versus please, as you're saving at least 3 letters... but to skip ONE... ohh, how horrifying to have to spell and punctuate properly.

If you look in the dictionary under "****-retentive" there is a picture of an SK Named CroixVorAbbaddon.
In the definition see also "Petty nit picker".
not hard.

Not a tough solo. Got a hammer for my alt! Just charm one of the outside mobs, pacify every mob, and pull the king to the outside of the castle he's in. Loot and gate the heck out :P

Two: Max hits???
Three: Can he only be poped with a PH? (Just wondering no flmaes plz)
Four: Can a 60 Dr00d eat his food? (Meaning can i solo em?)
RE: Questions =)
# Oct 22 2003 at 3:42 PM Rating: Decent
Maybe soloed it as a 65 druid so it is possible
Not giving any tips cause I died 2X getting my strat down but it is possible. Got Hammer for my monk.

Only way I can see a druid soloing this is by charming one of the spiders.

Other then that.. I can't see how.

Beleive someone told me he could be snare/evac single pulled and dropped by druid or wiz.
good camp for tanks
# Sep 04 2003 at 9:11 PM Rating: Excellent
this camp is really nice if you want to outfit your tank with some decent weapons. He spawns inside the little house thing by the room with a small pool of water in front of it at the westmost part of the zone. The king drops the copper hammer of striking which has a good damge/delay with a proc that gives a good amount of aggro. This is his common drop which works out nice because imo his common is better then his rare. also you can camp the earth seer as was started before. To get to him you should invis your group or just clear up to him. Coming out of the king's room you go right to an alcove that leads up. Keep following the path up untill there is an opening to the main room. There is 2 goblins standing on the overhang. The eath seer is the PH for the named which drops sword of the bloodsworn as his common which is also really good for holding aggro.

I've camped this for the past 7 hours and have gotten 2 mauls and before i left, 1 hammer. Throughout that time soloing it every 5 minutes everyone and their momma would check in to see if i was still alive. It is a great exp spot otherwise but the most irritating and overcrowded place I've seen in that zone so just a heads up if ya have a group looking fer something fun to do.
soloable
# Aug 26 2003 at 6:49 AM Rating: Decent
65 shamans can solo this guy easy. 65 druid or 65 necro can too but less easy, takes some tricky pulling for them.
RE: soloable
# Nov 07 2003 at 10:14 PM Rating: Good
A 65 Beastlord can solo him easily also.. people always forget the Beastlords =)
Rarity
# Jul 28 2003 at 2:23 AM Rating: Decent
Camped him for 5 hours today, had him spawn 4 times and drop the copper hammer each time. So prices on the hammer are going to drop, or drop rate is gonna be nerfed. Have to admit it was far too common for something that nice.

However we only saw Earth Seer Gamolk once in that timeframe. Dropped sword of the bloodsworn.
Loc??
# Jul 23 2003 at 7:28 PM Rating: Default
Any know the loc of this guy?
RE: Loc??
# Jul 24 2003 at 8:05 PM Rating: Excellent
The temple in droga. Its toward the NE corner of the zone. Cannot miss it. I think the mob who dropped the earring of essence was in the temple before the revamp. about 7 spawns in room... 2 at door 5 inside. All of which seem to be 60-61. King is 61, pure melee. Saw him once in about 3 and a half hours. Dropped the copper hammer.

So far camps in droga look like you can get 2 named out of each. Old cheif spawn has dust hoodlum heaprit and ice master cailin. King camp has King and the Earth seer named (spawns way way above temple, need to take a path around to get to him) Am sure you have time for your puller to pull there after clearing the kings room.
RE: Loc??
# Aug 16 2003 at 2:27 PM Rating: Default
Ummmm - you sure you don't mean NW corner? the old temple where the named spirt seer was before? cause NE is nothing there at all

bottom line - is he at the old temple or some NE place?
RE: Loc??
# Jul 27 2003 at 1:34 AM Rating: Decent
Guildees camped him for about 5 hours with no luck spawning king yesterday. After i joined them, we spent 3 more hours before he finally decided to show his ugly face, and died shortly after that. He can be mezzed, and can also beslowed (our 65 BRD did it without resist), and as other said he's not tougher than his PHs. Dropped the Copper Hammer for us.
Kill
# Jul 23 2003 at 5:47 PM Rating: Good
Very easy kill. If you can keep the king room clear than you can kill him easier. He is no harder than any of the other mobs in the king room. He has PH's, and its random how many it takes to pop him. He only popped once in 4 hours for us today, and we got the hammer =D
RE: Kill
# Aug 14 2003 at 7:20 PM Rating: Excellent
I cannot edit this so i will make a follow up post. You will know what im taking about once u try this camp, but it is important to keep the spawns on a time that u can manage. So you can kill one and have a min med time and the next one will pop. it is best if u keep them in order around the circle. The king will always pop next to the oven (yes its a real oven, but u wont have much time for baking). His PH is only the mob that pops next to the oven when he is not up. We camped him again and got 2 more king pops, back to back. Both dropped hammer.
