this is actually a VERY rare spawn. on the other hand, it is completely (rarely) random, so he could spawn twice in 10 minutes, or he could spawn once in a wekk. completely random

Why ask a question like that? He is a level 25, for all practical purposes, if you do not feel you can handle a NPC almost 20 levels below you then you should give all of your equipment to a noobie and go play Nintendo.

Maybe the question being asked is because he may be an undercon. You might need to lay off the PS2 and play EQ.

Yes Many things are undercons in this game, but NOT 20 levels you goof.. oh should I say Mr. Anonymous..heh.

Was pulling to our group from the Champion Room on Xev the other night (Nov 6, 2001) and went to go get a bat. I saw them stuck in the ceiling and asked the grouped how do I get them down. With Taunt they said. Great. So I walked around the corner and who do I see, Mr. Green Guano himself, along with two bats. I wanted to make sure I whacked him before he went invis which i was afraid he was going to do. After many stuns and whirls courtesy of the bats, I was able to guide all 3 to my awaiting party where we quickly dispatched the harvester and eventually the two bat brothers as well. He dropped the cloak much to my dismay, but it was still a great rush!
Soooo..

Because you need see invis on to see him on track if he is invis.

in a bnb group, im pulling(52sk) and whatdyaknow theres guano (popped in the back by the lava, kinda near the lava beetle room) i instantly kill him with ht, drops the bag i lose roll of course hehe. then , about 20mins later he walks right into our camp, we kill him . dropped kos, i lose roll again. then about 2hrs later we moved to SS and i hear him casting, i run back to bnb, ht him and cos drops, and i lose roll again!!! hehe our group then disbanded but this proves that he is very random not rare
#Valdon, Posted: Jan 26 2003 at 11:36 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Thats crap, you basically have 6 people in a party. You discovred him pretty much all 3 times. My *** would have taken the bag and told the rest of them to @#@$ off... politely of course.

i killed this guy twice in one day, got both lots.
before that i had only seen him one othre time and sence i killed him twice i haven't seem him sence. so he is more random then rare.

I was in the Champion room trying to get into a group as per usual, and got the message that he was casting a spell. Imediatly i cast see invis on self and ran around to the bat area.

There he was invis but didnt agro me, i cast root on him, 250 nuke with stun that broke his root and he started running..rooted again nuked and he died, he droped the cloak of the Shadows, with +13 dex it thought i would be nice for my alt warrior, then i looked up the price on eqprices..OMG 18K rated super rare for a moments work.

I have a strategy that i plan to use on this guy, whenever i have about 20 hours to kill. Here it is...

Enter sol b the back way, thru sol a. This puts you right around the corner from the sonic bat room, where the harvester presumably spawns. Cast deadeye (46 sk). Sit there...kill bats...sit there...kill bats...sit there...

Eventually, if he shows, i HT him, to prevent him from running around and aggroing every mob in the place. The HT should kill him instantly. Will let you all know if this works.
Got the Cloak of Shadows today!

We where going to form 2 groups for efferti(however you spell) Anyways and where at the ent. One of our members got 3 bats on him and needed help. Well I saw this sucker spawn right in front of me and either I had some kind of see invis on me(I dont think I did) or he spawns univis. all I know is that he quickly went uninvis. I alrdy had him targeted though and started beating the crap out of him. I was a lvl 44 warrior and my wurmslayer did a nice job and he was dead pretty quick. Sense my group was me the warrior 2 shamans and 1 ench 1 mag, I got the cloak. I wear it with pride now:)
Actually when I saw him I basically spamed the zone saying "omg it is guano" mabey a million times heck my group didnt even realize he spawned or I killed him till after I told them I looted the cloak of shadows!

From personal research, I can say that this SOB spawns somewhat randomly around the bat/bug area of SolB. Basically, im pretty sure that any SonicBat can be his PH. So, peeps in SS room and Bat1,Bat2 have much better chances.

EQ atlas puts this sucker right at the zone to sol a is that correct and does he move around after he spawns? I know alot of questions but does he spawn visable and cast invis or does he spawn invis?
RE: Woedin of Quellious
# Feb 24 2001 at 12:46 PM Rating: Default
He spawns uninvis and casts invis on himself. I know this because ive seen him do it. Be warned he cast invis on himself in the first 2 secs so I you see him spawn target him quick.
I saw him spawn a little after teh bat room near all the lava.
Funky mob

Saw him three times in around 8 hours tonight, twice he spawned right on top of my group in bat 1 then proceeded to run like hell cause everyone jumped him before anyone thought to snare *rofl* But well worth the risk of chasing him around solb like nutters.. Dropped the bag both times for us, (I won one, yay) then it spawned in another part of bats section and another group got it.. we saw the agg message and apparently they got a bag too. Bag can only hold small stuff, wouldn't even hold my rod of insidious glamour (Biggest i managed to fit in was 2 weight stein of moggok) but is a nice toy anyway. He doesn't spawn invisible btw, you see him then it procs pretty soon after.. i say procs because i don't remember seeing him actually cast, just saw the invis animation (Could be wrong, kinda tired) Anyway, just wanted to give my info so people who are wanting him can have some idea of wait times.. these where my first sightings of him from camping bats for probably four days total. And i highly recommend remembering to snare, we ended up halfway across solb chasing him without ;)

Sure this guy may be 25 but he is smack dab in the middle of an area that level 40+ do for experience and he's invis. You would need see invis to even see him and if you plan on camping him there better be a real nice group doing bugs killing everything else for you. Normally if he ever pops (which isn't very often) the bugs group gets him unless the king group can sneak in the back entrance and grab him. So if you are 25 and want the bag or cloak you need a full group of 40+ babysitting you if you want to even stay alive long enough to see him. By the way all the baddies in SOLB see invis so you have to fight your way to him, fight once you get there, and fight to get out. I have been in groups when he spawns and the 3 times I saw him from lvl 40-45 he dropped the bag 3 times, never a cloak =(
Basically these items are nice items you could "possibly" get if you camped the bug/bat area of SolB for many days. It takes more luck than anything. His spawn seems random you'd probably be able to earn the 5k for a tink bag before you could even get this one and this ony holds small items which normally only weigh point 1 to point 5 in weight. My monk fills the bag with shurikens to keep up his throwing skill mainly because nothing else I carry will fit in this small item bag. =( Aparently it's called a "large" bag just because it has 10 slots.

Actually the weight of the object does not matter. It is the size of the object. I have one of these bags and while farming in Sol A placed the large high grade ore and the Blue Brick in it. Talk about saving me some weight. The Blue Brick weighs a whopping 22.5 stones. 8)

2 nights ago we got the good old guano harvester
we were set in bat 1 -2 in between area before the lava river ( if that makes sense :) ) and, we heard him casting . we had all gotten see invis casted on us , and , our bard located him on tracking and starting casting her boastful bellow song to try to pull him out . . after about 5 minutes she got him , pulled him; and we killed him . he dropped the bag

he was kind of funny , after a few hits he went off a running , he really is so outgunned there , the poor little guy
Stop Killing Me!

I am the Guano Harvester. I walk around all day collecting bat crap and putting it into my soiled bag. Every once in a while I see a player walking all over the poo that I am paid to clean. They track it throughout the dungeon! That makes me mad and I just HAVE to go attack them for it, because it makes my job ten times harder. Usually I lose because the player calls in his friends, but sometimes I win! When I try to loot the corpse, however, the game tells me I cannot loot their corpse at this time. Urgh! How annoying. I am not a vicious creature. I do not attack everyone just because I like to. I attack those who make my job harder - those who walk in my poo. So stop killing me, stop squishing poo, and I'll stop attacking you!

Thank you,
The Guano Harvester
