Duoed him with a 55 sk and my 56 paladin, didn't have to LoH but I did heal throughout the fight and swapped in soul fire to complete heal the sk once though.

Piece of cake.

Slain at exactly 12:22:32 on Thu Jan 18 2007. Thanks Sony for repopping him (I'd been camping him with my tracker alt for weeks but had never seen him.)

I took a total of 45 damage from him (!), so it's safe to say Miragul has 20,901 hitpoints as he didn't land any lifetaps.

Since I didn't wanna re-do the whole Book of Scale thing, I put together an overkill group of a 64 RNG, 67 ENC, 75 CLR and 66 PAL (me). Fight lasted 92 seconds.

1.0, HERE I COME!

You don't need to charm the lich to get him to spawn if you are high enough. Just pacify him a few times and you can turn it in that way.
Turn in complete, Miragul is dead

What I fail t o understand here is that most of these posts are about the LICH of Miragul. My question is...can both be up at same time? or does the Lich spawn after you have slain Miragul and gotten the items needed for epic?

The lich spawns 7 days after either it or this guy is killed. Given that you lose the hardest part of the pally epic (book of scale) on turn-in I doubt anyone comes prepared to let this guy live 7 days and see ifthe lich will respawn. Plus he may despawn after a period like most triggered mobs. This is the second biggest bottleneck in the pally epic...remind me to smack Sony for not doing domething about the spawn timers of epic quest mobs...

Was killed on Quellious server at roughly 1:20PM on Wednesday, October 19, 2005. Hope that helps.

Was the last "big kill" needed for my paladin's epic. Taken down with 70 Ranger, 70 Beastlord. 56 Paladin was there to loot and Lich was charmed with a 55 Enchanter. Now, it seems I have to wait for the servers to go down so Kirak Vil will spawn... but a step forward is a step forward.

Miragul was downed on the Rathe at approximately 7:30PM 24-JUL 2005.

Took a 15 pocket RNG, tracking skill of 78, all of 2 days to find the Lich of Miragul and his pet wandering the caverns of Everfrost Peaks.

The kill went to an overpowered group consisting of a 62 PAL, 65 CLR, 68 DRU, 68 MNK, and 70 ENC.

The ENC took care of Enduring Breath and charming the Lich.

The DRU tracked, snared and dotted.

The MNK and PAL beat on Miragul with blunt objects.

The CLR never had to cast a heal, before or after the fight. /yawn

Miragul was down and looted in under 30s.

DRU ported out.

On to Sky....

Killed him today after a server patch. This guy is a complete wuss. Had a 67 Cleric, 68 Beast, 70 Paladin, 65 Enchanter, and a 64 Mage. Rooted him, snared him, slowed him without fail. Dead in 20 seconds. 1500 Life tapped me one time. I had over 9.4k HPS. He hit me one time. Your best bet is to wait until a patch or reset to go get him.

Aye I am also having MAJOR problems with him spawning. I can't be on 24/7 so he may have spawned in my off time. I'm really perturbed right now. I have killed all the ph's at least ten to fifteen times and still no spawn. For two weeks straight (at least two hours at a time, and usually at night) and no spawn. I don't understand, epics are supposed to be attainable even by "casual players" which is what I consider myself. Why doesn't SOE make the spawn timer faster or at least not a seven day spawner (which is what i've heard lately). Sorry I'm venting right now because a TON of people in my guild, mostly druids and rangers, are getting there epics and I can't even get a mob in a HALF of my stinking epic to spawn....anyone have any ideas it would be really cool.

Did him today with a 65 chanter, 2 65 pallys, a 64 cleric, a 65 ranger, and a 47 bard (me). Basically, chanter charmed, one of the pallys handed in the item, miragul spawned, and he hit once for 130 and got one dot off (ignite blood). Took all of 1 min and he didnt get one life tap off at all.
Soloable

I did this guy today for my epic seeing as i have gone for over 4 years with no epic i thought i should pick this quest up again. I believe the lifetap is in fact a proc because i never got a casting message for it. This mob was relatively easy to solo as a lv 65 paladin, had quite a bulky amount of hp and i got hit by the 1500 dd about 4 times but it is not cast enough to be a significant threat. I hope this info helps he also cast a fire dot on me that i could cure with rc 3.

He uses the following spells. All appear to be spells, not procs, and are interruptable.

Deadly Lifetap
Infectious Cloud
Paralyzing Earth
Torbas' Poison Blast
Ignite Blood

His minimum melee hit was 35, max was 130, average was 60 -- though with our team, he got in a whopping 20 hits total before he died. Beware his spells, though. Deadly Lifetap is just that -- it's a 1500 point DD spell. It didn't heal him, though, despite the name. His other spells were more irritating than dangerous.

He took about 19K of melee and DD damage, plus extensive damage from dots. I'd guesstimate his hp at 27K to 32K. My hunch is that it's 32K, which matches up to other high-level mobs of that era.

Soloed him as a 65 necro for a friend's Paladin epic. Charmed the Lich of Miragul for the turn in, then sent in the 65 pet Child of Bert with Rune of Death and Calliav on it, and basically dotted Miragul to death. He didn't resist splurt, horror, plague, Saryrns Kiss, FP or BoT. He did try his lifetap but I resisted it, but cannot say what resist was used. It is probably an MR based life tap if it is like player necro lifetaps.

All over in under two minutes, and didn't use Lifeburn either. Used about 2 bubbles or mana. Also my pet interrupted one spell (or proc) he tried to use, so it is interruptable too.

i heard some people say his 1500pt lifetap is a proc.

if so then you can prolly duo this with a tank and a chanter + a stack of dots.

if mobs proc lifetaps you just rune up and it stops them from proccing, me and my buds do vs the same way all the time, tank, chanter, sham, and whatever dps bros are on at the time

Be aware that by today's standards, Miragul is a wimp. One group of moderately-equipped people, levels 55-60, can easily take him. He casts a 1500 point DD or lifetap spell, but you can both interrupt and resist that. Other than that one spell, he's weaker than a typical PoP Tier 1 mob, though he seemed to have more HP.

We took him with 7-8 people, ranging from 52 to 63. I was main tank -- level 59, nicely equipped. We had a 60-something cleric for healing, with a druid as emergency healer in case of disaster. We also had a mid-50's enchanter to charm the lich, slow Miragul, and haste the melees. The rest were dps classes -- a wizard, ranger, etc. The fight lasted less than two minutes, and I was never in any real danger of dying.

I'll try and help you out here.

First off, Miragul is for the Paladin epic, not the SK. But that's not really the question.

Pack Shrew is bought at the adventure camp in Everfrost with adventure points. You get the adventure points by doing adventures from the camp. The theme of these adventures is called, Miragul's Menagerie. I believe this is what is throwing you off. You get adventure points from doing Miragul's Menagerie adventures, then buy the spell at the adventure camp.

Ok, some of this may be slightly off, so correct me if I'm wrong, but here it goes. Miragul was from times when Paineel was first being formed, during the outcast of the Heretics. Miragul became vastly comsumed by the black arts, and soon learned many dark rituals. He learned things such as how to creat portals to other parts of the world, and this is how he found everfrost. He slowly but surly kept stealing more and more from the library in Erudin about any sort of magic, especially the dark arts. He came to desire only one thing, all knowledge of all magic ever. He got very good at this, as he would spend years at a time sitting in the caves of Everfrost reading his scrolls, porting back every few years to steal more. Once he realized that he was getting old, and would soon die, he was very scared, not of death but that he would no longer be learning new magic. He found a spell that would alow him to become un-dead and live forever, and after some preparation was finally ready to perform the ritual. Unfortunatly he did not realize that although his body would live forever, it would have no soul, which means that he now just aimlessly wanders around the caves of Everfrost.

So first off, a lot of the top mobs from the origional EQ (such as Miragul, Phinny, Vox, Naggy) may be gimp by PoP standards, they were still the games top mobs at one time. My guess would be that the new zone is going to be a theme that Miragul found a way to return,(kinda like Venril Sathirs) and created himself a new fortress, so that even though his un-dead body still roams Everfrost, his spirit will be a new top boss in the new zone.

I dunno, this is just a guess, so we'll just have to wait till LDoN comes out to find out.

When Miragul popped for me, he was not KOS to anyone in my party, which included Erudites, Wood Elves, a human paladin (me), Dark Elves, and I'm sure some others I'm forgetting.

Come to thing of it, a more accurate statement would be that he didn't aggro on any of us; I don't know if anyone in the party actually conned him. Smiley: smile

That aside, I did try hailing him. He said something like, "Begone, fool! I have important matters to attend to." I'll try to find my log file and extract the actual quote.

For the record, the Lich of Miragul doesn't respond to hails. Smiley: smile

Phylactery/Lich
# Nov 17 2002 at 2:37 PM Rating: Excellent
The History of Miragul and his Lich:

Over three thousand years in the past humanity was in its infancy. Mankind dwelled in the center of Antonica, spreading out slowly to inhabit the vast and fertile plains of Karana. Villages appeared and prospered, several reaching the size of towns, and two even became cities -- Qeynos to the west, and Freeport to the east. Humanity, much to the disdain of the elder races who watched from afar, was strong -- it rapidly gained a solid foothold in the world of Norrath and was there to stay.

This is not to imply, however, that humanity was at peace. Early on small groups formed, some linked by similar appearances, others by common goals. Competition was fierce, and when resources grew scarce for one reason or another many groups abandoned the promises and alliances of their past and fought. A few leaders spoke out against the violence, urging the masses to remember why they had fled the cold north. They had broken away from the lands of Halas and their barbarian brothers in the name of peace, and these leaders insisted that humanity adhere once again to those principals to which all had agreed.

Their cry was not totally ignored, and the fighting subsided. Villages were encouraged to trade with one another and to respond to competition nonviolently. An economy based largely on agriculture appeared and the villages and small towns were surrounded by large farms. Most of humanity’s leaders were pleased with this, wanting nothing more than peace and food on every man’s table after a hard day of work. A few, however, wanted more. Even though their people had risen well beyond the standard of living endured by their barbarian brothers to the north, they were not content. Explorers and adventurers returned from afar with tales of elves, dwarves, and other strange creatures, as well as descriptions of ancient abandoned cities. A few even came back with limited knowledge of sorcery and the mystic arts.

And when that discontent minority of leaders heard all of this, they became both jealous and determined. A small, fragile man of great intellect called Erud led this group, and he formed them into a council. They quickly became irritated, even disgusted, by their fellow man. Leaving a small network of spies behind, the remainder of Erud’s followers fled the city of Qeynos and boarded a small fleet of ships. They sailed to the west and landed upon the barren coast of the island of Odus. The land was sparse and uninhabited and quite appealing to the council and their people. They quickly built a city of their own, dissimilar in almost every way to both Qeynos and Freeport, for it was almost entirely a towering castle. Erudin it was called, and within it the scribes and scholars, who called themselves High Men, gathered and analyzed reports, captured books and scrolls, and other artifacts brought to them by their spies. The first human mages were then born – wizards, sorcerers, and enchanters occupied the great halls of Erudin and grew immensely in both power and knowledge.

One of the more adept practitioners of the arts was named Miragul. Unlike and more extreme than the others, he not only abhorred his human brothers on the mainland to the east, but he also grew to hate his fellow Erudites. To him they were both short sighted and narrow. They created schools of thought, categorizing magic into three groups and designing themselves to three classes: Wizards, Sorcerers, and Enchanters. Miragul found this limiting and thoroughly resented the thought of being restricted to one school of thought or another.

He soon found others who felt similarly. They were a small but growing group of outcasts who often studied forbidden texts and other knowledge generally kept secret from the majority of students. The council was morally and ethically opposed to much of the information gathered afar by their spies. Miragul found that these outcasts not only studied the three schools of magic, but also a fourth. It was called Necromancy and a few lucky spies had returned from a distant underground city (Neriak, it was called, home of the dark elves) with both their lives and also ancient texts describing this art. Miragul was intrigued, and, by using powerful magic, created for himself four identities, four separate countenances and names, and joined all four schools without the knowledge of the council, nor anyone else for that matter.

It came to pass some years later that the council, in its ever growing desire to know all there was to know, both in distant lands and also in its own city, discovered the group of Necromancers. They were branded heretics and a great conflict arose. For the first time in several hundred years, the Erudites fought. They engaged in a civil war not entirely dissimilar to that which they had loathed and fled from back on the mainland. But there was one very significant difference – they did not use swords and bows, but rather magic, and the result was terrible. Lives by the hundreds were lost, great buildings and structures destroyed, and eventually the heretics were forced to flee Erudin, to hide and regroup in the southern regions of Odus.

Miragul, being a member of all four schools, was not blind to the implications when the conflict began. He left the heretics before they fled the city, abandoning his fourth identity and siding apparently with the council. But this was only a ruse in order to buy time. He soon gathered every artifact and tome he could discreetly steal and then left Odus entirely, taking a ship back to Antonica and to the city of Qeynos. The lands of men, however, were not only to his dislike, but also filled with Erudite spies.Miragul grew afraid, even paranoid, and soon fled again. He headed far to the north and then to the east, wishing to avoid the barbarians of Halas. After many weeks he found himself near the great lake called Winter’s Deep and he hid there for some time.

While Miragul waited in secret his mind was not idle. He schemed and planned, and looked over every letter of every scroll and tome he had taken from Erudin. Time passed and his understanding and power grew. But he was unsatisfied and a deep hunger for even more arcane knowledge ate away at him. He soon left his hiding place and began to travel long distances in search of more ancient texts and artifacts. His power had grown and confidence overcame his fear of Erudite spies. Once again he cloaked himself in false identity and countenance and traveled the lands of men.

Not far to the south of where his cache of artifacts lay, Miragul soon found another of the new races, the Halflings, and their town Rivervale. The mage feared these small people and their propensity to sneak and to steal, and as his treasures grew in both size and value, he eventually made the decision to move even farther north, and away from all intelligent life. He traveled leagues and leagues, far beyond the range of both Erudite spy and curious Halfling, and eventually came to a vast tundra. This land had no name, and was not until centuries later referred to as merely the Frigid Plain. This frosty and remote environment appealed to Miragul’s heart, for it had grown cold, obsessed with only knowledge and the abstract, and filled with only hatred for others. Creatures with intelligence forced him to be discreet and slowed his acquisition of knowledge and items. He had as little to do with them as he could, only hiding amongst them when absolutely necessary.

Under the icy ground of the Frigid Plains, Miragul created a large network of tunnels and rooms in which to hide and study his collection. He used no labor, but rather deep magic to remove the earth from his way. Room after room, passage after passage, he did create to house his store of artifacts. He split his years, spending one score out in the world, exploring and amassing knowledge and items, returning them to his cache, and then the next dabbling with them, experimenting in one of several laboratories he had created.

Many years passed, even centuries. Miragul grew old, even though he did his best to extend his life using magical means. There was a limit to his enlightenment when it came to aging, and he soon acknowledged that one day even he would die. Only one aspect of death did he fear, and being no longer able to learn and collect wrought him with terror. As his skin grew wrinkled, and his breath short, Miragul’s time was spent less exploring the world of Norrath and more studying the existential. He soon discovered the various hidden dimensions that neighbored his own, the Planes of Power and Discord. He discovered means by which he could traverse these planes, making portals that led between them. But his strength was leaving him, and his journeys into these realities were short and often unprofitable. More and more, his own mortality limited his reason for living, and the specter of death haunted him daily.

The mage’s research into life and death was built upon a foundation he had learned from his fellow outcasts centuries before in Erudin. Necromancy, more than any other art, became Miragul’s obsession. Eventually he discovered a means by which to create portals within his own plane and made them to travel great distances in mere seconds. He traveled back to Odus, to its southern regions, in search of the other Necromancers. Perhaps, he mused, they had unearthed by now a way to cheat death.

The mage soon found that the heretics of Erudin had built a city into a great hole that led to unknown depths beneath the earth. This chasm was apparently the result of that huge civil war from which Miragul had fled centuries earlier. The city, called Paineel, though somewhat suspicious, allowed Miragul to enter and after a time he earned its inhabitant’s trust. Many humored the old man and his claims, while a select few respected him and were willing to trade knowledge for knowledge, power for power. They revealed to him the true power of necromancy, the ability to raise the dead, creating zombies and wraiths obedient in every way to their master. Many of the heretics planned to assault Erudin with vast armies of undead, to wreak revenge upon the council that had exiled and made war upon them in centuries past.

One important aspect of their necromancy interested Miragul, the fact that the undead ceased to age. Their lives appeared endless and the elderly mage knew that he must discover a way to be like them. He feigned interest in the heretic’s goals, learning spells to raise the dead, helping them raise their undead army. All the while, however, he was experimenting himself, hiding much of his research in the small home he was given in Paineel. After some time he discovered that which he had sought, a way to transform a living being, as opposed to a corpse, into the undead. Unfortunately, time was scarce, for he was tired and almost dead himself, his body deteriorating with age, and the heretics were almost ready to make war once again.

Miragul then left Paineel, using a small portion of his dwindling life energies to make a portal back to his cache hundreds of leagues to the north. Upon arrival, he withdrew silently to his most secret laboratory and prepared his final spell. Dreaming all the while of endless exploration and discovery, he slowly made ready his ultimate experiment. The enchantment laced with necromancy was finally made, and Miragul hid his remaining and fragile life within the phylactery, a small device he had pilfered from the other necromancers. Clouds of mystical energy gathered and then dispersed, revealing a shell of the man Miragul once was, an undead mage, what ancient scripts and legends called a lich.

In his haste, however, Miragul had made a miscalculation. The lich, while retaining all the mystical power of his formal self, lacked a spirit. Only the mage’s soul, now locked within the phylactery hidden deep in the cache, retained the ambition and desire to amass knowledge and power. The spiritless lich possessed none of these human traits, and Miragul’s soul screamed in silence as the undead creature began to aimlessly wander his menagerie of wisdom and enlightenment, his rooms filled with artifacts of power.

Would just like to add something from experience...

My guild was ready to take down Miragul for our 56 Paladin (we got him, grats on the fiery avenger!) and we were drastically searching for an enchanter so we could charm and get this done...so i send a tell to an out-of-guild friend asking if his enchanter is high enough to charm him yet, he says no but insertlevel60necro'snamehere can charm it...i simply smacked my head really really hard...Lich of Miragul is an UNDEAD CREATURE! Necromancers CAN charm it, so remember if you're short on enchanters, get that necro in there!!!

We killed him a few days ago for my FA. We had 1 full group a 60 cleric, 60 paladin, 59 warrior, 60 ranger, 60 druid, and a 56 chanter to charm the Lich to turn in Miraguls Philactery (Soul). I was alone but this group was major overkill the cleric only used CH once and one Cel Heal. A group of 55+ shouldnt have any trouble with him. Now just to get to the PoA and get my Fiery Avenger =P

His spawn time is about 6 or 7 days, and you DONT have to kill the roaming skellies he will spawn even if you dont. He should be up most the time unless another pally killed him in the last week like in my case, but I just kept checking on him once every day about the same time untill he was up.

His spawn time is 1 week. You have to kill the roaming ice bones to get miragul to spawn, glacier bears will also spawn as PH's they are part of a cleric quest. He won't always spawn after 1 week, you must keep killing the PH's until he spawns. The respawn time on the PH's seems to be about 3 hours minimum.

Guess I got unlucky. 28 wizard looking for the rod...swam down and entered the hall. Two skellies were walking along, targeted one...and it was the Lich. I've heard stories about this guy and ran like mad. Thought he was static. =(
Miragul Info

I've always wanted more info about this guy before attempting him. But I went ahead and did it with what I've heard from friends and here. So I got my own info to share with other paladins. Its all going to be random, not much of a message board poster.

-Lich of Miragul wanders, and we pulled him with charm. He doesn't seem to like to get near the water so have your raid move up a bit into the main center hall. He will pull here easily. Once charmed, hand in your Phylactery.
-Miragul will now spawn. He was dubious to me and did not aggro at all. I initiated attack, and he immediately proced his 1500dmg lifetap.
-He procs his lifetap randomly... infact not even sure if its a proc or spell. Fight went by fast and I was too intent on stunning to keep reading the chat box. But I myself was lifetapped 3 times during the fight.
-He doubles for about 80-100ish.
-He casts invoke fear, and poison bolt, and I believe a low level disease AoE that I resisted everytime.
-The lifetap does infact heal him.
-He went down to the hands of just 2 groups. 52 paladin, 48 bard, 60 shadowknight, 57 cleric, 60 enchanter, 52 shadowknight, 53 druid, 44 warrior, 46 rogue, 57 necromancer, 45 enchanter, 52 bard. 1 death, and it lasted about 1-2 minutes.
-He seems average MR, 1 out of every 3 or so of my stuns seemed to be resisted.
-The 60 SK said he was hard to land a hit on, constant misses, high dodge skill etc.
-Overall it was a fairly easy fight, just make sure you bring more than enough... don't want to lose all that dragon raid time incase you fail.

Hope this helps.

Lifetap

Has anyone fought Miragul since the Lifetap change was made recently where NPC's and pets actually get the HP from the lifetap?

How often does he proc or cost his lifetap? How much is the lifetap for?

I know that a couple of other mobs that lifetap are harder than they were before the change. I just want to be sure before I go spawning this guy for the Paladin Epic quest.

# Jan 29 2002 at 12:04 PM Rating: Decent
OK We owned him last night, The live Version was hitting me for 120's max and he only proced his lifetap once the entire fight from what i could tell and no it is not 200-300 hp it is 1500hp. And really he wasnt that hard we had 10 folks and he went down like a rock, one cleric 3 druids me, 1 warrior 2 rogues and one shaman, Granted the rogues one druid and the shaman had their epics but i dont think it would have made alot of difference.lvls Ranged from 53-60 with only 1 being 60

He went down easy for us granted half of our ten 53-60th lvl ppl carried their epics. All i can do is lol ... love it when someone says "It went down ez at lvl 18" ohhh and btw i am ubertwinked and had my 41st lvl druid superbuff me first.
RE: Miragul
# Feb 01 2002 at 2:07 PM Rating: Default
Well like i said the Shaman and the druid epic didnt help out very much at all. the shammie didnt get the slow to stick till at least half way through the fight, and the fight only lasted like 30 seconds so the dmg from the druid dot was minimal also. I would say two or 3 lvl 60's could potentially kill him provided he doesnt get to many lifetaps off, but below 55 i would not recommend bringing less than a group and a half if you havent worked together very much

It would be nice to see a pic of this bad mofo, but I guess everyone is too busy tryin to stay alive ) When our guild whoops him I will make sure to send one in... it would still be nice to see one in the meantime.
It could happen

Well i can for see a caster getting this item, the books of scale come from vox. naggy as well as some of the high end dragons. Gore and her brother in skyfire. A raid on them may not have paladins due to them being fairly few at high end things like them. And if a paladin isnt there to roll a caster will.

Now mind you, we brought about 20 people 50-60 and the epics were blinding, but he went down with only 1 casualty incurred.... first charmed him, then killed him, LOL
