Best way to get in the door without getting all the keys is to Illusion ghost the door. I wont go into details but just ask around your server about "Illusioning through locked doors".
Respawn Timer: 2-3mins

Ok logged in today, ran at the 8th key cycle, got golden key and lo and behold who is behind the door but Najena. Never did see a PH but finally got my robe! So moral of the story, not broken just a long camp.

I have been camping her through 7 key obtaining cycles now over the course of about 10 days. I have yet to see a ph elemental in Najena's room. It's beginning to seem broken. I have killed the magicians about 25 times in those 7 camps and they always respawn just the two mages and their pets.

The PH can be a mist elemental, which - I believe - invisses itself. I thought the PH had been taken out today, killed the magicians and sat down by Najena's spawnpoint to wait - only to be attacked by said elemental a moment later. It dosn't attack if it's trivial to you, unless you sit and aggro it by 'convenient target', so people checking Najena probably dosn't even realize a PH is up, unless they're wearing see-invis gear or have a buff on with that effect.
Golden Crescent Key (temporary) drops off Drelzna to open the door to Najena's room.
You will lose last 2 keys when you log out. I'd save the other 3 for later if any friends would need to come here. Although getting all 5 keys took me about 30 mins with being stuck in the cell with no keys when I had to gate out. So it's very easy & fast to gather the keys again."
Note that Najena also drops the Golden Crescent Key. This means a non-gater can camp in her room and get back out (as long as you kill her). You have to swim underwater to get to the area before Najena's Room.
I was after the Flowing Black Robe and decided to clear the room and camp, checking back every day I logged in to play. It took me 5-6 days to get the robe this way, Najena popping twice in that time that I saw. I found this better than continuous camping simply for the tedium factor.
If you invis and camp at the door you will login without aggro often. The magicians see invis sometimes (not all the time) and Najena and her PH never aggroed me from that location (keeping in mind they were very grey /con to me at the time).
lvl 71 Necro took 3 seconds ROFL I was windowed out waiting for her to spawn, and the spawn time was the very next round of spawn maybe 5 minutes and my pet killed her while i was reading part of my epic. and Note I didn't kill the key mobs in any particular order that I recall.
Her door can be picked so if you don't want to get keys you can just bring a Rogue or Bard in. My skill is over 200 so I don't know what level will actually open it.

I just killed Najena. It took about 20 min for her to spawn. I stood by the door, killed two magicians and their pets twice, looted them, and then she poped. Lvl 52 Necro working on Epic 1

Is this broken now? I have been camping Najena for 8 hours. There were 4 elemental pops and then nothing. Now about 6 hours without anything popping in Najena's place.
At 68, DE necro, didn't aggro anything expect keyholders and skellies outside najena. Bloodstained Drops from Rathyl in the back room of the dungeon (the only cell with a second cell) he may have a place holder magician when you get there like he did for me, respawn is less then 20 minutes. He also dropped a Traveller's pack. Delzna, in bloodstained room, drops Cresent key. Mobs never made it past Force Shield. Pet killed most of them. Soul Orb killed eveything when I could get it off before pet killed mob.
As a 63 druid, I ran through the zone killing like a madwoman without so much as getting dented. Every single mob in here, including Najena herself, has under 1.2k hp, or exactly that, because that's how much my nuke deals out. (Nuke is Wildfire, btw.)
Dragged my happy wood elf arse into Najena's room and killed the two mages and Najena's fire elemental PH. Approximately twenty minutes later -- though it only seemed like five to me -- she was piercing me for 3 dmg lol. One nuke and she went down.
Looted a Clawed Knuckle-Ring and the robe, then killed the newly-respawned mages on the sides.
It's incredible how the rare, desperately sought-after items tend to drop for people who have no clue what they're for, or at least have no desire to acquire them.
If you need to check and see if Najena is up in her room or not, but are too lazy to go for any keys, run over to her door and into it. Seriously, run into the door, then hit control+s, and it should give you a momentary view of the room from the inside.
WARNING!! The magicians inside have a good chance of aggroing you, even through the door, if you are not invis.
Just wanted to post a more up to date post saying this still drops but I think its rare instead of uncommon. I camped her for about 6 hours and then it finally droped. Oops, sorry everyone, missposted. This is for the Clawed knuckle-Ring.
In the end you will have 5 keys. At level 52 as a Nec, I had no trouble getting them all quickly.
If you head throught the hidden passage, then hang a right, you will come to 3 doors. The one on the left is for the froglok Bonecracker who drops a key you need - dull bone key - I think. The middle door takes you to the ogre captain which will drop 2 keys. Guardsman ring and one more.
Now head down to the basement. You will see a locked room with 3 mages and another locked room with a named. Kill him for the key to Drexel(sp?). Onec you have that key, head back to the locked door you might have found while heading down to the basement. Inside are 3 necromancer spawns. Drex will spawn eventually and you will be able to loot the gold key. Then you are set.
Keep in mind that at least 2 of the 5 keys (including the gold key) are TEMPORARY. Meaning you have to fetch them every time you want to open those doors.
On another note, if you are a pet class, you can do a /tar najena while pressed up against the door. This will allow you to pull her out of the room and be able to loot the body. Beware that every time I have killed her she has had the earth pet with its root. This might be a promblem if the pet is rooted and kills her before you can pull her out of the room.
Sorry if a little sketchy, been at it all night with a cold. Hope it helps!
ive been down here most of the night, on my 52 ranger, and 59 cleric, i have all the keys, but i still cannot unlock the door to where Najena is located...any clues? the most i can do it stand at the door, and a mage will come thru it after me, but i can't get Najena to come out...

The information on the keys is exact. As to your specific question, you'll need the Golden Crescent key from Drelzna. (And, you'll need the key to Drelzna from Rathyl, etc etc.) Read the write-up I've linked.
This might be true, but I doubt it. The reason for this is because of the way I camped her. I was having to camp and then come back about 30 mins later. Out of 7 kills, I have only gotten her once and then she only dropped the book.
Shame they have to make an epic drop mob in a place EVERYONE wants to go just to make a buck. The FBR should be made NO TRADE and I would be much happier.
I was just there last weekend getting the robe. It was really late and I believe she spawns every three or four hours. You know she is in her room because as you move around the dungeon to get the keys, you can see messages that say, "Najena casts a spell".
When you enter the room, she will be on the opposite side of the room from the door. She is flanked by two Magicians. If she pops while you are in the room, if you are quick, you can kill her and her two lessers before they have a chance to cast their pets.
I am not sure on the pop rate for the other lesser mobs in the dungeon that carry the keys.
If Najena is up and you really want to get inside without the key, you must have access to Eye of Zomm and a pet. Walk up to the door, cast Eye of Zomm, which will be on the other side, target her and get rid of eye, tell pet to attack and back her up to the door. Let the pet kill her, then use Eye of Zomm again, target her corpse, do /loot and she will have the key to get inside.
Najjy is magician. She conned blue for my 34 shammy... It all happened very fast. I was just wondering around aimlessly inside Najena, until I found the locked door behind the water pool (where the froglok ghoul swims at). Found a way to see inside by sitting when near the door, until something strange happened... Najena just aggroed me THROUGHT the door! She ran out and started to nuke me while her pet was kicking mah butt. I was oom, my pet was somewhere far far away, and didn't have an idea what was going on as it happened all of the sudden. Conned blue, and I could not possibly beat anything without mana, so I just ran to zone and she left me alone... Next day I came back with some guild fellas, but she wasn't there anymore... They couldn't track her, either. Guess this is just another add for my "to-be-killed"-list. :)
My 35 Mage can solo here, so I imagine a Warrior could too. I'm guessing you're not 35 any more.
You should be aware that this is a "keyed" dungeon and the keys are NOT soul-bound. The last two keys that lead to Najena are no-rent, so you have to kill the mobs that drop these keys every time, if you want to camp Najena.
She has the entire zone named after her because she's the head npc of the zone. This zone was in existance LONG before Epics were created. She used to be the highest level npc in zone and the Flowing Black Robe was much sought after. This was long before Robe of the Oracle and Shiny Metallic Robe became fashionable and the FBR was somewhere in the neighborhood of 500pp(which was a LOT of money at that time).
#herkupoveluclinserver,
Posted:Nov 14 2003 at 10:47 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) sorry but u kinda sound like my grandpa talking about how much baseball cards cost now
hmm... I must be lucky then.. went into room... killed fire elemental and both magicians , najena spawned next round and she dropped the book... I was after the robe... but first drop was book..
Strange luck, hehe... I went into Najena to get the robe, her supposed common drop, to give to my necro (I'm too poor to just go buy the thing!) and after she finally spawned, she didn't drop the robe... just the tome! Oh well, also a nice thing for my necro. Killed her the second time (waited another hour for her to spawn, all the other spawns were just more magicians and elementals) and she dropped the robe.

I have seen the post from the past couple of weeks but I was in Najena about a week ago for 3 nights. I camped each night for about 3 hours but didn't get Najena spawn once, PH elemental everytime. I know it's only 10 rotations per night but there should have been at least one spawn in 3 sets of 10 rotations.
I just started asking myself if they reduced the spawn percentage on Najena. I mean 0 out of 30 is pretty low. I'm going to try again this week sometime but it's a terrible waste of time to sit there for three hours and not get the mob you are camping.
Well,My mage is a just turned 46 and I wanted a FBR to travel in. Stats aren't that good. Anyway, the room was a breeze to break into and the mobs including Najena were a push over, Seriously I wouldn't want to to this at a lower level. I just wanted to say how easy this was. the only bad thing about this camp was waiting for it to spawn. Thanks Kartanis Darkencast,Level 46 Magician.
So you want to hear about my visit to Camp Najena? Well...one time, at Najena Camp... *attempts to be humorous*
But seriously folks, I camped her for a couple hours and here's some info:
camp has 2 somewhat higher magicians (lower than Najena, but higher than most magicians) and Najena or her PH (an elemental)
slighty less than 19 minutes respawn time
7 rounds yielded 5 PHs (elementals) and 2 Najenas
2 Najenas yielded 1 FBR and 1 Tome
Najena herself is a magician, which means you'll be facing a total of 6 MOBs, pets included. It's a tough room to break into alone unless they are green to you. However, if you have a good healer, a solid tank (preferably one which can interrupt spells), and a nuker, a 30ish group could probably do it fine. I soloed the room as a 41 paladin, but the room was an easy break since the PH was up instead of her. If Najena is up, she has been known to pounce on people before they can open the door. It's generally not a good idea to die inside her chamber since you'll need a key to fetch your body, so pull the fight outside if you think it's going to be close. Good luck, and remember to come back here and tell us your stories. This reminds me of another story...one time, at band camp...
Hi, Im a lvl 34 Iksar Monk and one of my rings (Ring of Above) just isn't good anymore and this ring is perfect so after i get my cougar claw earring which i have camped for about 4-5 hours but no luck, ill go down there and kill her and hoperfully, she'll drop it.
I have been in this dungeon for over 50 hours in total, camping in rotation Rathyl, Najena and occasionally Drezlna (or (hardcore) Webmistress with others !).
As a level 35 magician you can do any two of these complete spawn sets in solo with FM and DS'd focused earth pet. I would suggest that the xp is ok (they are all dark blue to me xcpt webmistress yellow) and the loot and cash is very good indeed. Gypsy and druid vendors nearby in lava...
The only problem is that I have been camping for the tome and Rathyl's 8 slot pack all this time with no success with either (and about 30 kills of each mob at least).
I think najena spawns about 1/3 of the time in all and rathyl about 1/2 the time instead of their PH's.
Magicians go to this zone ) - get your focus items, pages of mastery and xp, loot and a fun place to solo with your pet or group for faster rotation through dungeon...
If you are in solo, the best place bar none for getting focus items, pages of elemental mastery for epic and sellable / nice drops + ok xp at this level is rathyls room and surrounding area. Neighbouring darkbones and Rathyl's magician protectors drop a lot more focus stuff than anywhere else in dungeon plus you might get a pack / pouch / bracers / ekeros drop to sell to a monk )
If you sit and camp in one spot you are less likely to get any kind of decent drop in my experience, let the spawns pop and fully buff 1st for more chance I think. However, if you cant handle a whole room's worth on FM, then space out the kills when you first go in, they will pop with the same spacing ! Always get necro / magician protectors 1st cos when they pop again you can nuke them before they can buff / summon pets.
I just want the drops to come my way sometime :(

Yes... Najena, suprisingly enough... why the Najena faction exists when everyone starts out KOS to it and it's impossible to raise, I don't know... but killing almost any mob in this zone lowers Najena faction, including killing Najena herself.
That halfling and that high elf enchanter in the prison are among the few mobs in there not on Najena faction (they're on the same faction NPCs in their home cities would be).
Don't worry dark elves, killing anything in this zone won't lower faction with anybody in Neriak. (in fact, I believe kiiling the enchanter in the prison actually raises it!)

It's been awhile since I saw the Visiting Priestess who sometimes spawns in the Ogre Captain's room. However, if my memory serves me correctly, I believe she has ties to Neriak faction which might also seem logical given her name. If you are an inkie, just avoid killing her while near the Captain and you should be fine.
The spawn time on the PH (Elemental) and Najena is about 20 min. She dropped the FBR and Clawed Knuckle Ring the 1st time. She spawned just once in an hour.
Dont forget the Key )you have to have) is no rent. So plan on staying for awile.

hi all, I decided to go kill this little mistress after reading all the posts here and discovered that you cant always believe what you read. the key is necessary for camping this room. if you sit outside the door the magicians will agro but the elemental ph for najena will not. so you cann kill the mages all night long and never see her. the room is extremely easy to a 41 necro but the spawn is long. i am camping it as i type and i have seen 3 elementals and 1 najena so far. i think i should have just bought the tome. my pet takes out the room quickly i only help with najena. i hope this clears up the no key theory.
P.S. if you make a pet here it will stay here it will not follow you out of the water.. got me killed..
i was down there woundering around accually got lost but anyways a 30 enchanter i saw pulled her and i watched him beat her ass till it bled and then finally she died :p but he just casted wril till you hurl i believe its some kinda stun thing and she couldnt cast he nuked twice and then had to recast wril but then nuked a few more times and wala she DIED !
Ok yes you can solo her with a druid lvl 30 did it 3 times today lost only aobut 1/2 health in doing so and about 3/4 mana lost also. Simple pul her outa the room. If she comes solo then root, stack dots snare and move outa her line of sight. She is unalbe to cast on you once you move outa sight. Wait tell you get the message of spells worn off go back in and repeat tell necessary. If she comes with mutiple mobs this gets real hairy and dangerous at this lvl. You can run or tuff it out. Root all the mobs that aggro. Do not root najena move away out of sight of the other mobs try to pull najena as far away as possible then root her. now time for you to run go outa the room near the first ogre guard you encounter when you zone int. (this will reset the mobs you initially rooted. Hopefully najena is still rooted. Go back if she is still rooted stay as far back as possible and DoT her snare and re root move outa sight tell the message comes across something has worn off then repeat tell dead. The multiple mob is hard to do you have to make sure you dont get ot close to najena after all mobs have reset. If you do you will aggro the first mobs again. You still have aggro with them as long as you dont get to close they stay put. * there aggro range increases now that your on the list by about 4-5 times the normal distance. Have to have patience if your root does not hold on najena when you go back and check it Zone out SOW and come back in try to do it again. This will completely wipe your aggro list. Good luck :)
Did the key hunt in about 2 hours. She spawned twice for me. a total of 6 mobs were blasting me in the room. 3 pets anaj and 2 necros. BTW I'm a lv 59 tank and this droped me down to about half my life. I'm sorry but iof any one said they soloed the entire room and they were in there 30's there lieing. If your a caster maybe, but there spells are rarly resisted even with high magic resist and you wolfs don't have much HP. )
