The lack of a House prefix to his last name would seem to indicate that Kizdean was of low birth. How impressive must be his prowess that he rose in the ranks of the Shadowknights of the Dead despite the impairment of his birth?

#REDACTED, Posted: Oct 27 2001 at 3:59 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Yeah, the only funny one of these posts was the 'I Hate Gix' club... The rest of you, alright, one or two people getting smacked around, you can post about it to warn people. When 50 people post about how much you want to kill him because you were dumb enough to wander close... Well, don't blame anyone but yourself. His aggro range is not the whole zone.

Gix is Ph for Dragoon Zytl
# Oct 21 2001 at 8:55 AM Rating: Default
This is a Verification that Kizdean Gix not only holds a grudge, but he IS the PH for Dragoon Zytl. I am a 45 Dwarven Warrior, who, when traveling through WC, likes to beat the dung out of Gix just for fun. He usually takes about a quarter of one of my health bubbles, actually pretty good for his level. So yesterday I am heading to the wizzy portal for a port to EJ, I see him, and beat the living monkeys out of him in a few seconds. I go on and wait at the portal. Now, unfortunately, my wizard is quite late, so I end up sitting at the portal for nearly a half hour. I have never stayed in WC for this long after killing Gix, purely by coincidence, and I am sitting at the portal, and the respawn of Gix runs up and starts hittng me! This guy NEVER moves unless someone attacks him, and he ran all the way to me from his spawn point! Somehow, he manages to keep aggro information throughout spawns, if you do not leave the zone. So he comes and I kill him again! Real easy. now I'm still waiting like 10 min later, and guess who comes over and starts beating on me just as the wizzy arives? Dragoon Zytl! Coincidence? I don't think So! So I start hitting him, but he does a nasty HT on me, and he is like level 30, and the wizzy can't seem to nuke him, and for some reason, I keep getting the message that I am too far away to hit him! I am standing right next to him, but either he was bugged or I was. Anyway, the wizzy takes matters into his own hands and ports us out to EJ right there. But for me, this is proof that Kizdean Gix is the PH for Dragoon Zytl, and not only that, but they are bugged in some way so that they can come after you and find you at the next spawn if you have not left the zone after killing them! This could be dangerous for anyone who kills them casually and then goes AFK at one of the portals or something, so watch out! Also, if anyone from Verant sees this, you need to fix that aggro bug, just imagine if Emporer Crushbone held a grudge, or Ambassador Dvinn, or someone like that? They would constantly be killing everyone in the zone! that definitely needs to be fixed.

By the way, Gix spawns and wanders around the zone a bit before reaching his standing spot behind the inn. His path takes him across the pyramid that is the wizard portal point in WC. Zytl follows a circuit that never ends until somebody kills him. His path also takes him across the wizzie portal there, but it is different than Gix's.

Gix didn't have any memory of his previous agro on you. He just wandered by the wizard portal after spawning (which he always does) and agroed on you because you are KOS to him and you were sitting down. That's normal behavior for an NPC like Gix.

Not too many people see him wandering after he spawns. He only wanders a short time and then stops at the place where most people assume he spawns. Since few people mess with him (he's a massive undercon and doesn't generally drop anything very useful to most people) he can sometimes wind up standing there for quite a while. That makes him =look= like a static spawn, when in fact he is a spawn who follows a set path with a termination point.

Gix is not the Place holder for Zytl. I often have both on track at the same time. They also follow entirely different pathing.

It's a research item, just like all the other pages/words/runes that you'll find from time to time. I'm not an INT caster myself, so I'm not sure which classes use which items, or for which spells.

Well... we all know he's on Indigo Brotherhood faction. As a high elf wizzie, I'm all too familiar with the implications of this among the inkies....

Gix cons lower level than Dvinn. At level 24 I could kill Dvinn relatively easily, and at 29 I just started having fun with Thunder Shock blowing him out the window.

At level 30, however, Gix mopped the floor with me. Didn't even see it coming. Running through WC to EC-bay to buy up some gear. Fear (resisted), HT (470), and one attack. I was dead. Since then, I always use the NRo gate instead of WC... heh... one of these days I'll return, but probably not until I'm so red to Gix he doesn't even aggro.


-a level 33 and counting wizzie on Vaz.

This is one of those NPCs where the melee types have a huge advantage over casters. If we can't get our spells to take, we have no defense or offense.

I have had lvl 20-something Warriors/SKs/Pally/Rogue/Ranger types laugh at me for this, but I was almost killed by Gix. Here's how.

I ported into WC and was about half mana and unbuffed, with only sow. I started running to EC, which was my destination. Out of nowhere comes Gix. Now, he and I have had relationships before, once I had to run and once I fought and killed him, but only had 25 hps left and O mana. This time, I was a 35 Druid so I was pretty sure I could take him.

Wrong.

I cast ensnare 8 - count em' - 8 times! Nada. (@#$% Verant. Spell resistance is unreasonable since Lucilin)

I try root 4 times - Gix laughs.

I manage to get 2 casts of combust off - the first does 10 (TEN?) damage, the second does 55. Normal damage for each cast when I'm in OT? 182

This entire time I'm hitting him with my obsidian scimitar for a whopping 14 damage, when I am able to land them. He, of course, is doing over double that plus nuking the hell out of me. Dang, Druids are a pathetic melee after lvl 16.

Then, bad luck strikes again, I see my sow flashing on the right of my screen. I look at the empty mana bar...that's when I know I'm screwed.

"Brigitmorgaine yells for help from behind and to the left"

I'm running to the Druid rings slower and slower as Gix's spells take effect. I am showing about 1/8 bub of life, then 1/16 of life, then 1/32 as I reach the rings, hitting my /yell hotkey over and over.

"You are healed for 272 points of damage."
"You are healed for 240 points of damage."

Whew!

Some nice wizzy then casts a nuke and kills Gix rather effectively. I plop myself down to med, feeling quite humbled.

When my lvl 16 rogue get's to 20, I'm gonna have her kick his ***.

Note: What is up with this, anyway? Couldn't one of those d*mn patches perhaps raise the con on this guy for casters? It's dangerously deceiving.

"probably not until I'm so red to Gix he doesn't even aggro"

I'm not sure that this ever happens with this guy. He's one aggressive Dark Elf. At 38, he still likes to jump me - and I usually don't fight him. He's easily killable, but he's so ridiculously underconned that he does a fair amount of damage, for no XP or loot.

I found out about Gix very early on, suffered the same fate as oh so many poor people. So after a little hard work, my wife and I both have characters at lvl 20. So we are strolling through WC one day and she says to me, "hey, lets take on Gix. " so i figure, what the heck?! Why not! She is bound in WFP and i am bound here in WC, so lets go for it. After a quick med to get my mana maxed(Druid) and Laedilie's Healing song to heal us both up(Bard), we go after his butt. I started off with a DOT cause i knew that Root wouldnt work. Then i tossed a snare on him and it stuck! I was amazed, but didnt wanna loose the opportunity, so i let go with a few DDs and knocked him down 1.5 bubs. This is where my wife jumped in from the side (part of the plan :) and started to whack the crap outta him with her dual scimitars (she does a TON of damage per round). Well Gix was aggroed on me cause of my spells so my wife is getting free shots in and he dont care. Gix fears me and i go running off all scared and stuff :) By now my wife has him down to 2 bubs left but she is starting to take damage pretty quick now. Fear runs out and i come running back. THe wife is kicking *** so i threw a few heal spells on her and 1 DD on Gix. I was OOM at that point. But my wife continued to beat the snot outta him till he started to 'run' away. being snared he kinda casually waltzed off. So then we just BEAT HIM DOWN LIKE HE's BEAT DOWN SO MANY BEFORE. And thats that. Not great xp or loot, but very stress relieving. So we have made it a point to TAKE HIM DOWN every chance we get. Then we get to run away from that Dragoon Zytl guy that spawns right after :) he's 35 and mean and we cant take him... yet. :)

# Sep 02 2001 at 2:19 PM Rating: Default
This guy killed me too in the teens. That is the most annoying thing too when you just got out of befallen or something and gotten lots of exp, It seems like his aggro range is HUGE so even though you seem far enough this guy comes in and kicks your ***. Not to mention hes a shadowknight @$$hole with harmtouch.
So yesterday I was just wandering through WC when I saw him on my tracking, (im a 31 druid). I cant tell you how good revenge tastes, I mustve killed him 20 times that day, hes a weakling and doesnt resist my combust spell that much. So I just wanted to say, Youll get your revenge soon =)
Death sucks

I have been raped by Gix plenty of times but last night in lavastorm was the worst. (nothing to do with this guy but im gonna say it) I reached 24 and was all happy about my new TP's / spell effects / and im a doggie. (im a druid) I TP'd on over to lavastorm to kill some lowbie elementals when I see some shadow men. All were blue cept one yeller. I harmonized all of them and pulled one. Well, I'll make this story short. I died, lost my level, Returned to my home point in Warsliks Woods, Couldn't TP to lavastorm cause I was 23 not 24 =) Sorry had to let everyone hear my horror story.

This guy conned low blue to my 22monk once so i said ***** it and took after him. he hits for WAY too much dmg for his lvl. about 70dmg a hit, and i was like crap as soon as he got his 2nd hit in on me. so i FD and got out of there... 10 minutes later i got my 52 rogue friend to help me out, and i put the finishing blow on the *******. now im a lvl 35 monk. I see him, he dies. simple as that.

I never really payed any attention to this guy with my Shadowknight or Necromancer, but when I made my Druid, I got him to 21, then came here and this dude HT'd me for HELLA lot! I run away (natural instinct) and con him from far away. Dude's blue.. So I figure I may be able to root him and blast away. No-go here, the guy resisted my root spell 11 times!! His regular spells did nothing to me though, very weak. This guy is a huge undercon though. High MR, or I was just very unlucky that day.

Gix, like most of the dark Elf NPCs you will encounter, does have a very high magic resistence. Even with my druid at level 51 he tends to resist my snares and roots more than they stick. His resistence to fire based spells is much lower, however.

He has less than 612 hit points. I generally open with a cast of starfire now when I kill him both for the revenge factor and the chance to get some dark elf parts for baking. (Yes, I do eat my enemies. <evil grin>) Starfire, if it fully sticks, does 612 hps of damage and drops him flat dead. If he partially resists I can usually hit him again with it for enough damage to either kill him or at least send him running.

You are also correct in noting that he is a massive undercon. That also seems to be true of most of the named dark elf NPCs.

If I were going to suggest a way to take this guy at a level where you would get XP it would be to have a group at minimum with a good tank, a caster class with a pet, and a good healer. More than one tank would be a darn nice thing to have. So would an extra healer.

The strategy would be to send in the pet first to absorb his harmtouch, and then let the tank(s) (and the pet if it were still alive) hold him off while the healer keeps the tanks alive. Magic based nukes would be little more than a waste of mana, but fire based ones might get through, and some other kinds of spells (disease, cold, poison) might also be useful.

I recall an incident in which somebody pulled him to the druid ring in WC. There were a bunch of mid to higher level druids and other players there at the time and they made very quick work of him.
What is the point of these b*stards?

I now hate dark elves with a passion. I had been trying desperately to move my 13th level druid to level 14, and there are a lot of good things for doing that in WC. However, this is merely a cruel joke on the part of Verant to trap us into an area with underconned dark elves that beat the living crap out of everything and have an agro radius the size of China. Also, I think they are invisible. First situation: hunting willowisps near toll booth...thought it was safe because of the guard, no agressive monsters in nearby radius. Wisp was at half health when suddenly:

Kizdean Gix: Some mumbo jumbo about not messing with the dead.
Kizdean Gix begins to cast a spell.
YOU have been hit for 171 points of damage.
You yell for help.
Kizdean Gix begins to cast a spell.
YOU have been hit for 170 points of damage.
You have been slain by Kizdean Gix.
Returning to home point, please wait...

Second time: corpse run. No one will give me sow and I don't feel like begging for an hour or sending annoying tells. Examine area, no Kizdean Gix in sight. Drag corpse right next to guard. Loot corpse. Then, oh yes, same situation as a few minutes ago. I am dead, have lost two full blue bubbles of xp, just because Verant thinks its funny to put these guys right on the path where people who are in no way capable of handling him are walking.

At first, I thought he was just a train pull from one of the DE camps (all of whom con indifferent to me for some reason), but no, he and all his "stepping out of the shadows" ilk (i.e. Dragoon something or other, who also appeared out of nowhere and wiped the floor with my poor druid butt) are just hiding around in the oddest of places, just waiting to take hard earned exp away in two swipes.

I was In Befallen getting some nice exp with my 20th druid. I am sitting outside and I see this guy and being new to the area wondered who he guy was.

I sent out a shout and got several replies saying that he is an undercon and will kick your a$$.

He coned blue to me so I was curious about what kind of fight he would be. I put on my SoW and buffs do a quick med and here I go. I Pull him to the befallen tunnel start nuking him and he starts hitting me for 38dmg a punch. I get him down to 1/4 life left as I am down to one bubble of health I do a quick zone and ready myself for another try.

I pull him back to the tunnel area do a quick root which sticks and start nuking away. He only resisted one of my spells. I repeated the process till he died.

From what I have read I got lucky as hell because he only resisted one spell and he did not use his harm touch on me. I have 148 wis. I guess I will not try this again. My luck may not be as good next time.

Gix is a Shadow knight which is why he leads off with a 191DD spell. It's his harm touch.
