Why would you want to kill this one poor guy for ring of scale faction? Just kill everything that moves in mistmoore a few times and you'll max your ring of scale, King Thex (felwithe) and League of Antonican Bard factions all at about the same time.
Why in the world would Sony nerf the faction on this guy due to the new VP quests. It is hard enough to get a few groups of people to get together to help with the names that respawn 3 to 7 days apart for just a single piece out of the number of pieces required for each quest.
Although this is the best option to get RoS faction, can someone give me a good reason why nerfing this guys faction makes this game better. It is extremely frustrating to continuously kill him or find people to aoe CM for 3 days straight just to go up to threatingly.
As many times people have said Sony fubared on one thing or another, this is my complaint. why make factioning so MFin hard with a HUGE timesink if thats not your obvious gameplan.
Spawn time on this guy is super quick killed him and ran outside cuz didnt have enough hp to take on bloodforge guys after came back in 5-10min later and he was up; his buddies were up too still. Also if u come back and king is up w/ friends kill friends if u dont attack the king it doesnt seem to spawn more. Friend said they nerfed his faction hardcore though w/ new VP being in.
Anyone found how many kills it takes now to move the faction noticably? Is this guy an option over doing MM, or is MM still the best faction farming choice. I've spent nearly 2 days in MM and still am KoS
Whenever the king aggros somthing, he spawns/summons two mobs: "A Bloodforge Captain" (warrior) and "Bloodforge Brigade" (cleric). If you pull into the hallway outside the castle, then the king will come first, followed by the captain after about 10 seconds, followed lastly by the brigade about 20 seconds after that.
The Brigades do not despawn, and do not move back to the throne unless they are _really_ far away. For most of the zone, they'll simply stand in their final aggro location. They appear to be within aggro range of the King from anywhere in the zone and will race back to the castle if he is aggroed again.
The King does return to his throne however, stranding his brigade outside to fend for themselves. Since he'll instantly summon more brigades (when aggroed) if they are not up, this creates an ideal instant mob spawning farm for FD folks.
You would think a king would have more on him than page of Nilitlims Grimoire, small kite shield, battle axe and a silver amulet. All useless junk unless you really, REALLY needed that page. Having to clear out the entire palace plus whatever happens to wander by to get this loot seems like a lot of trouble to me, especially since any groups high enough to do so, probably won't be getting much xp, if any, from the kills.

If you were me and I were you, would we still be friends?
Please don't kill my king plzthx :) There are now 2 mobs called "The bloodforge brigade" that stand outside the ent. to the castle. They look exactly like regular guards. Didn't say anything to my level 22 rogue though, dunno if you need faction, high level, or if they aren't for anything. The king calls for the Bloodforge brigade when attacked (i dismarmed a fine steel short sword from him ;)

as a crazy uber warr, i tried soloing this guy. damn guards attacked as well and had him down to .5 bub before i had to jet. wish i coulda taken him, although i still have good faction which is nice, although useless cuz this is the worst city and hard to get to and everything is too small for me to fir into!!! arrgh!
Yes he gives RoS faction. I'm a 53 monk I have a 51 shammy partner we can take him no prob. Just gotta move the guards out of the way but if you stand in the door they come single. I haven't confirmed it but 12 kills = ally RoS.
Can someone confirm or deny the truth about him raising RoS faction? I have ahrd enough time getting a group but maybe this would allow me to convince a cleric to go over and work with me.,
Umm.... that picture shows an axe and dagger. I'm sure he drops something. I've also seen him not carrying anything, so that may be the spawn that doesnt drop anything.
It's probably the same axe as the guards carry. Dont know about the dagger though.
Must you kill him? He is so good, and pure. Leader of the dwarves, i would hope he killed the lot of you that tried to kill him, for he is my king... :)
Ok guys, i posted about the dwarf guards in butcher earlier, after i got 53 through butcher guards i got bored and moved into kaladim. I hooked up with a lvl 51 mag, and we started fighting at the kaladim zone. ALL GUARDS CAN BE PULLED SINGLE WITH BOND OF DEATH OR TAPS!!!. Basically at zone there is one roamer that you will have to wait on because you can end up with two guards and in a mess if you don't deal with him first. Then it's easy single pulls all the way to the king. Remember a necro is very helpfull if not neccessary. Pull with bond of death, then cast pact of shadow on the pet that is being attacked, shadowbound works great if you are 54 as well. Ok so this mag and i fight our way all the way till we see the castle. There are many roamers that walk from inside the castle entrance, but you will most likely have cleared all these out when making your way in. So you're stuck with a nec and a mag outside the castle not knowing what the hell is in there. Going inside you wont see any guards, i start with the guard in the lookout tower, just run by him and jump down and he'll come out the castle door alone, be sure to do /pet back off if you were hit. Take that one down then you can move in to where you can see the thrown room. Thrown room has about 6 guards in it and the king. Once again these guards don't assist each other, even though they are all blues. All i had to do was get one guard in sight through the door and just target him, and most likely he'll aggro and come alone to you and your waiting pets. Do this until you can get into a view to see the king without being aggroed by guards. NEVER GO IN THE ROOM, just target guards form outside. All you have to do to get the king alone is click on him and he'll aggro and shout something like "I call my guards to assist me in battle" or something like that but no guards come hehe. So now you have the king and it's just you and the mag. Send pets, the king hits for 150dmg and is lvl 50. He's low mr. What i did was just asystole to debuff him a little, then ebolt, then i cast harmshield and sat right at his feet tanking for our pets. The mag should be nuking this whole time. I get up right b4 harmshield wears (king should be at about half health by now), then cast bod and start healing pets, occasionally stepping in to take a hit or to then tap. Mag can take some hits as well. And soon the king will be dead, and you get some exp and no loot whatsoever. The first time i killed the king he had a whole bunch of crap that newbies had given him hehe. Well my secrets out, at lvl 55 drawrf guards are greening out and i have no more use for killing them.
Forgot something, you need to be at least lvl 52 or maybe 53 to pull these guards single, not sure why. Also it really doesn't matter what spell you use just make sure you cast from a distance.
Just a few notes. you pull the guards in throme room to the area outside of the castle where you have room. Doing it with just 2 pet classes, me a lvl 54 nec at the time and a 51 mag was tough! Don't expect to be able to repeat it, when i had 3 pet classes it's pretty much a breeze but very good exp. But if anyone, i mean ANYONE does not believe me, serioiusly just reply and we'll organize a date where i can show you on tholuxe phaells or maybe just show up on your server as a lvl 1 dwarf and direct a group of people how to kill him. If you don't want to fight your way to castle from zone, all you have to do is invis and go to the area just b4 the castle and in a top left corner of that area, just left of the tunnle heading to castle, is a zone to the other kaladim zone, just set up camp here and pull the roaming guards there. I would seriously recommend people to try this, just remember the reg guards are high mr but never resist bond of death
PS. Read my post on nyzil bloodforge to know how to kill the regular guards easily. In both butcherblock and kaladim. Kaladim guards turn half green and half blue at 54 but are very, i mean very good exp. Butcher guards are also extremely good exp from 49 to 54. Every partner i have had has said that it was the best exp they have had sence pre 50. Just takes a little practice but when done right, the reward is great!
Have you tried going to the other side of Kaladim and attacking the warriors,clerics or paladin's guild? I am curious as to what they would drop? I bet the bonechip quest dwarf drops a ton of bonechips...that would be a nice prize for a 54 Necro. Let me know if you have or if you plan to try. It would seem to be harder than the king room due to all the healers in the area. Again, I am just curious...thanks.
I discovered this the hard way, he hates enchanters. I'm kindly considered by the guards but I walked into the throne room, and he starts babbling about my past deeds standing record and how enchanters are evil. And proceeded to order his guards to kill me. Which they did about about 45 seconds of painful running.
