a magician  

fine steel spear tonite.the ones in najena and drelznas rooms..........

dropped rat ears. saw it spawn myself (cause ive been camping it), so somebody didnt give it to her. these magicians must be really poor, having to loot rat ears to buy their regents?

I recently did the mage focus items quest and it took all of 3 days, during that time i managed to pick up the torn pages of mastery fire, water, earth , and wind. I am assuming these r for the Mage epic but not sure which part, can't find any listings of them even existing except for postings here talk a lil about them. If anyone knows or can help clarify this subject it would be most appreciated

I camped the mages for about 8 hours tonight and in that time got one of each of the pages of Mastery (water, earth, fire, and wind) and one of each of the quest items (shovel, torch, stein, and broom). I think I was very lucky.

Anyways, there are four places that mages spawn in this zone (ten total mages). Two of them spawn in the "Magician's Lair" which is #7 on the EQ atlas map. Another two spawn in the hallway just west of the "Entry Room" which is #1 on the EQ atlas map. Another two spawn in the "Crystal Room" or #4 on EQ atlas map. The last four are in the "Prison" (#10 on EQ atlas map) in the room south of the cells. You can fall down the pit to get there or go the long way down the ramp, but you need keys to get into the actual rooms with the mages. One of these is the PH for Rathyl (#11) if that helps. I think you need the shiny metal key and the dry bone key to open these doors, but I don't quite remember.

Anyways, all of the spawns are on a 19 minute cycle and should go down with just one blast of Cinder Bolt. What I did was just start in the Mage's Lair, go up and kill the two in the hallway, kill the two in the crystal room, and fall down to kill the other four in the prison. Then I went back and waited for the Mage's Lair to spawn again. Hope the info helps.

I have two Reagent Pouches that dropped from the Magician's in Trazdon's room. They are classified as a MAGIC ITEM but no one seems to know what they are for. Spent about a half hour in-game asking many mage's of all lvls if they knew what it was for. As well asked many times in bazaar and ooc in EC. As far as I can tell they are only good for selling to a merchant. Would just like to confirm this in case anyone I know could use these before selling them.

Thanks in advance.

I camped the mages for about three to four hours. During that time the mages dropped two brooms, one shovel, and one of those pages relating to wind (I forgot the exact name). Man, its boring but it has to be done. For entertainment between mages I made the rounds, since Najena was empty most of that time. One of the Tentacle Terrors dropped a Tentacle Whip, Bonecracker was kind enough to give up his barbed whip, and Trazdon coughed up the dark circlet. I'll be heading back for the other two focus items, so we'll see what other goodies come along.

The alligators are outside now stopping going to every post area and crying. It's just that there is only 1 gator everytime I go there.

the jail with the halfling and the enchanter in it, there is an obviouse hole in the wall to jump out of.

The other jail cell, all ya have to do is run through the bars, sure just keep pushing forward and it will take you about 5 seconds to get through it......erm so why gate out? and why kill moosh for the key? bahh run through it and head back around the corner and up the stairs to get the REAL KEYS

Heard that bloodstained armor was dropping again here and decided to check it out. If you kill a pet class caster in one spell, the pet dies too.

will i get a faction hit agains neriak i am a de
mage so please let meknow if i get faction hit or not thanks

my mage is 34 2 blue to 35 she has the broom shovel and tourch they are not that hard to get i went to Najena for most of them but it was hard died there once i fell down a hole and all i need is the stien so what i would say to do is get a great group and go to Cazic-Thule i got my broom and shovel there but the tourch in Najena trying to get my broom but thats what i think u should do

i have camped Najena for 3 days now, fighting all the Mages on the first floor, from Trazdon's room, over to the 2 mages in the lone square room (occasionally the ones in Rathyl's room as well)...and nothing so far..
Typically, 6 mages per cycle, seems to be a 7-10min spawn.
Luckily a friend had the shovel and broom from when he did this a long time ago. But I still need the torch and stein. Nothing so far.
If they dont drop soon, I may have to go to Thule and try there, although I was there for an hour and nothing from them as well.
This is all for my 6 Mage, who does have the Shovel and Broom Focus, but has not used it yet. He is currently bound in Temple of Sol waiting for the arrival of the remaining items.
For the other items:
I looted Ice and Fire Giant toes from Gornit..5 spawns, got both..
Hill Giant Toes from HG is Rathe..Cyclops Toees in Rathe as well..
Griffon Feather- bought from Vendor in Gfay. I was going to loot, but found for like 2pp..
Gargoyle Eyes from MM...2 kills, got one.
Mermade scale from Alluring sirens in OOT.
Fire Drake Scale from Fire Drakes in Lavastorm.
Jewels can be bought just about anywhere..
Good luck to everyone....

How often do the pgs drop for epic so far only a Stein but havent seen any pgs??? Do the pgs drop off the cazic gators as well? or only Najena mage?

ok, well I am a lvl 20 magi on Druzzil Ro, some very nice people are willing to test this, lower lvl Magi's using focus items, futhermore,

To any magi without the neccary items, ie the toes, stay in Wc until someone drop the HG they will prob just give it to you, I had a high lvl necro give them to me before I knew what the toes where for..

ima mae and i spent a week down there and didnt have a single item drop for my focus's i had to accept the shovel and broom from friends...i still need the torch and stien, while i was down there though i had offers for 3 shovels after i had one...are they the more common of the drops? or is it all totally random..cause it seems to me that the torch and stien are almost impossible!

I got a Reagent Pouch off one of these guys. What is it for? It is lore and no drop.

what the hell is this sparkle purse for?

Also i think the level range for these magicians seem good enough. When i was there some went down with one Flame Bolt Spell while others took 2 or 3 spells which did 154 161 161. So that should help you a bit Throbclobberski

Somehow i keep hearing these guys were 34th level and it was a 34th level quest. but i was in there and one was blue at 19

ok i have been into najena and killed rougly 20 or so magicians by the gate way which says najena. anyways i havent got a signal quest piece out of them so i was wondering if you needed to go further into najena to kill them? Also i was wondering if the goblin magicians drop them too. Theres no way on my server, tallon zek, that darkies will sell them to me, so i really need some help in which magicians actually drop them please?

I have killed numerous mages near main entrance to Najena, no shovels etc as yet. Do I need to hun further in to get drops? Any info appreciated.

How much would the shovel sell for in Najena? Not the Ponz of course, I meant the one dropped by the magician? I have read that the shovel dropped in Cazic Thule by the alligators sells for about 5pp.

The quest components are not Mage only, they can be held by anyone.

I got the Torch and Shovel from them, Still working on the broom.
You can equip them in any hand and it looks pretty funny with both.

I went into Freeport with both equiped and got a lot of people asking what it was and looking at my equipment things.

in response to Geffin's question I just recently did the focus item quests and you can use all four of them to obtain the four different items: Broom of Trilon, Stein of Ulissa, Torch of Alna, Shovel of Ponz...they are very nice
