Cuburt  

There are actually 4 smudges on the ground in this area. Cuburt spawns on the smudge next to the text written on the floor.

I've been killing him while waiting for the Zombie to pop. He also drops a snake scale, or rat whisker in place of the dress sometimes. He does spawn at the smudge next to the frogloks. His placeholder can be a mangy rat, a sewer rat, or a gelatonous cube. If you see one, kill it. There will be only one of these at a time on the paths at that section of the aqueducts.

I killed Cuburt last night with my 8 Enchanter and I found three things necessary for a successful kill: breathing room for medding, no waste of mana on the PH's, and Root. To kill Cuburt extremely easily you HAVE to root/snare at this level (the level that this quest is intended for). The 'BATTLE POINT' mentioned in an above post helps as well but without root it is extremely hard to kill him. I guess the bottom line is GET ROOT...heheheheh

BTW I don't think anybody even remembers Cuburt. He was very fun to kill.. anyone reading this post should follow up it was a blast!

OK. I killed cubert about 30-35 times today. Dident drop a single tattered dress. I was so frustrated. I play on the Firiona vie server. My question is Did this quest change? Or am i doing something wrong? Faction? I was camping him at LOC. 135 , -61. Does anyone know about this? Please respond if you have any idea.

is the dress magic?

You can not expect even the greenest newb to believe that a lev 4 mob is going to drop an Epic or a coin like 20-50pp, you are a complete moron for the the atempt alone.

And for all who are this green and new, an epic weapon is the most massive quest for your classs, lev 50+ quest, and the idea that it would drop that kind of coin is just as lame.

Ok here is everything you need to know about cubert in a quick message.

First to get to his spawn point find a man named Zamel near Arena in South Qeynos. There is a pool of water near him. In the water is the zone to part of aqueducts with cubert.

Cubert pops up right above the corner with the pool that has the 3 frogloks in the aqueducts. There is one spawn point there that spawns Gelatanous Cubes, Sewer Rats, and Mangy Rats. These 3 things are cuberts place holders. (All these things spawn at one spawn point. You can stand in front of that spawn point and kill them as soon as they pop.) The timer for that spawn is about 30 seconds after you kill the creature that spawned. Cubert pops from this spawn about 1 out of 10 creatures. I have camped him for an hour and not seen him.... othertimes he had spawned 3 times in a row from that spawn point.

All you have to do to get him to spawn is sit there and kill every gelatanous cube, sewer rat, and mangy rat you see. Everything else can be ignored.. they are not placeholders.

As far as Cuberts drops. He seems to drop the dress about once out of every ten times. Other than that he drops junk and a little copper or silver.

If you get the dress you have 2 choices. One is to turn it in to Zamel... the guy next to where you entered the aqueducts from Qeynos. I don't remember who the other person you can turn it into is.

I reccoment turing it into Zamel. His reward is the only one that is worth while. About one in every 5 dresses you give him he will give you a +3 int earring (Golden Ear Stud). The other rewards he will give you are Hematite and a little cash.

I had to camp cubert for about 4 hours to get 2 earrings. I have heard of other people doing it in one. I just had bad luck I guess.

Use EQAtlas to find Cuburt's spawn point.

The last time I was down there I found that my level 19 DD spell (98 dmg druid) could kill Cuburt or any of his placeholders in one shot so there were no running problems. The one problem I did have was that the very second I sat down to med after killing mobs all over the place in an attempt to single out his placeholder initially before I noticed its path Cuburt attacked me 6 straight times. I got the two earrings in under 10 minutes. The trip to Zamel if you use the zone by the bank is very short and then you can just gate back.

Btw for the mages Cuburt also drops malachite. The three loot combos I encountered were the Dress, bonechips or a malachite and snake scales.

An earring sells for around 30 plat in NFP and they aren't lore. I am bound right near Cuburt's spawn and can port myself to WComms after I fill a couple BPs. Say one dress every 5 mins and take 15 mins out of every hour for travel that is 270pp/hour if I'm not mistaken. After a couple hours in the aqueducts its some of the better cash a level 19+ dru or 20+ wizzie can make.

Go outside of the bank where the bridge is, in the pool there is an entrance to the aquaducts go down there it's real close to cubbert, PH as well as cubert spawn every 15 secs

Camper's Cliffnotes to Qijnopix's *excellent* guide:

Spawn loc: -135, 40
Spawn PH: Sewer rats, mangy rats, gel cubes
Respawn time: 15 SECONDS

If the placeholder is roaming, it'll walk back to the spawn point every 60 seconds. Just wait for it.

The exactly spawn location is -135, 40.

I recommed rooting or snaring him as he jumps in the water and zones if he gets away and take forever to respawn if that happens...
