I was camping the Kobolds east of the city and kept seeing this rogue clockwork that conned red to me keep going thru the camp. After I lvl'd to 8 I moved to the skeleton camp just north of there and went back to see what it conned to me at lvl 8. It was yellow so I killed it(i'm a mage), well it was no hassle so I went back to camping my skeles. After another round of skelies and 90% of another bub, I went back to kill the rogue clockwork again. This time the contraption was up, it conned red, and I said lets give it a go. Well go I went, after it resisted my nuke, I sent in my pet and before I got gate off the pet was dead. Luckily, I was far enough away to get it off. So if anyone is lucky enough to be checking these boards and looking for this guy, he is probably still up near the kobold camp (east of city) on Bertoxx server.

Killed this guy last night. What a disappointment. He conned dark blue to me (27 Monk). He is a piece of cake. Was surprised how long it took to kill him though. He did only like 8 pts of damage. Dont be afraid of this guy. Got this tinker toy & dont know what to do with it. Any ideas?
Thanx

The name is Nilits Contraption not clockwork...it may have at one time been called Clockwork but not last night. It conned DB to me at 28 and it put up a pretty good fight (mend is nice) I found it just past the minotaur cave, left side. The Kobold Missionary spawned just moments before the Contraption. Maybe this may help somebody? Anyway the Kerran doll is nice if you have an available slot and nothing else better to hold. and it was not any hassle at all.. I enjoyed doing the quest and it was free.. GL!
look / spawn

Good item for monk due to wt. and stats. It is also funny when people ask you why you use a doll as a weap if you equip it last. I camped it 2 times. (12 hr spawn 1st time, 10 min. 2d)
its stuped

Ok Here is my story... I camped here for many game days.. like 3 maybe killing all in sight even the kobold missionary. Then on Wednesday night a 3am ( as a earlier post Suggested ) I had just finished killing the Kobold missionarry and down to 1 bubble of life like 110 hp and there he was... atacked me.. I had to Feign Death but ran away and binded wounds to 50%... ran around killing all the Clockwork Rouges I could find and finally found him again. with half life and 1 mend I killed him easily he probally only hit me for 100hp. SO the 3am time seems likely possibly on wednesday at 3am gametime? Or posiblly the Kobold is a triger ? The kobold Missionarry did spawn again right after I killed it thou at the same time as the Nili's Contraption showed up...

I will confirm when I get the chance... in a game week

This guy drops a manstone... not the manastone that used to drop in guk but some clockwork.. thingy. Very rare, gives 10mana for 45Hps, very useful.
Minor correction to my post

Just a brief message to say that the creature I killed is called Nilit's Contraption and not Nilit's Clockwork as I posted and as is shown in the picture. Not a big deal, but just so that anyone after the Gnomish Toy knows the true name of the beast they seek.

Just completed the Kerran Toy quest yesterday on Luclin server.

I did talk to Nilit Druzlit (Pos 1890, Neg 310) with the following result:

You say, 'Hail, Nilit Druzlit'

Nilit Druzlit says 'Eh? Eh?! Talk not now! My [creation] is running wild! Destroy it for me, please! If you do you can keep whatever parts you want from it.

You say, 'What creation'

Nilit Druzlit says 'Did you kill it yet? What? Bah! Yes, I made it. Nilit's clockwork it is. I made it to carry my toys to and from Ak'Anon but now it's gone wild and started attacking people. Please, destroy it!

However, despite doing this many times it did not seem to make any difference to the spawns in front of Minotaur Caves. Talking to other players I found out that Nilit's Clockwork had been seen about 24 RL hours earlier (shortly before I had got on the previous day) and that they felt it was on a 'strange' cycle. I had already taken to slaughtering everything that moved and carried on in this way. I spent about 4 or 5 hours killing yard trash in front of caves including taking down the Kobold Missionary 3 or 4 times, and witnessing the demise of, or helping take down the Minotaur Hero 3 times. Finally, Nilit's Clockwork (looking the same from a distance as any of the Rogue Clockworks) came strolling up from the south. It was 3AM game time, but I don't know if that was relevant. Not a hard kill for me at level 37 but certainly tougher by quite a way than the Rogue's. Did a minor amount of damage (less than 100 hp I think) with 754AC. Had the Gnomish Tinkered Toy on it which is NO DROP.

Strolled out of Steamfont a little while later, hitched a ride with a wizard to Toxx and from there to Kerran Isle. Found the Kerran Tseq's (Pos 220, Neg 145 ish), hailed them and passed them the Gnomish Toy, got the Kerran Toy (3AC 2AGI 0.1WT) back in return. Being kids the Kerrans then told me to take a hike as they wanted to play with their new toy (sorry forgot to log the messages).

Added a total of 5AC when I dropped it in my range slot. Pretty happy with that.

Ack. As I said, it seems to now be a "if-it-moves-kill-it-and-hope" spawn. Gratz to you, Sengai, and kudos on your patience.

Well - I can confirm that this guy is no longer a triggered spawn (but i guess we all knew that didn't we?). I spent a few hours last night down by the Mino caves killing anything that moved, AFTER I talked with Nilit (twice). No sign of it, even with constant tracking.

I guess this one now falls into the "rare, but kill everything and hope he pops" spawn category. If anyone has any different information, please share...

If this spawn has been nerfed, its been to make him spawn more often. been in the Mnts for two days now and seen this mob no less than 8 times. and he was being killed so i know it isnt just the same one wandering around
Beware of Faction
# Mar 07 2001 at 1:06 PM Rating: Default
Our party of gnomes was attacked and mostly destroyed by this fellow due to bad faction.
Level 10 - 12 characters CANNOT take this guy.

Our warrior did the Bullsmasher quest 25 times until he got the mace. As a result ALL the clockworks hate him, including Nilits!

So even though we hadn't bothered him, Nilits joined in a fight we were having with two other clockworks. He hits hard and fast and can stun. He killed the warrior, the cleric (me) when I tried to heal the warrior, and the wizzie that hit him with a spell.

On the plus side after slaughtering us he walked off and ignored the rogue in our party. So its possible that if you have ok faction, and DON"T annoy him, he might leave you alone. (or maybe the rogue just managed to hide....)

If you attack a clockwork, both the Nilits and the Cargo Clockwork will respond to the
clockwork's distress call and assist the clockwork, even if it is rogue. Be aware of
whether they are around or not if hunting rogue clockworks near the Mino caves.

He attacked me and I kicked his

I am a lvl 18 Ranger and was working the Rogue Clockworks for Microserves when this guy attacked me. I conned him as red, but I had been pretty heavily buffed so I decided to give it a try, at first I thought that my backside would be the final scene from the fight, but slowly I gained on him, and eventually with one bubble left I took him. I got the doll and gave and will give it to my enchanter. He can be soloed at under lvl 20 but it isn't really very wise. I did pick up 4 microservers that day too, a pretty profitable day if I do say so.

Attacked by Nilits Contraption outside Mino caves while hunting Microservos for Trueshot Bow Quest. Had killed several of the medium rogue clockworks when it spawned. Conned Red to 18 Ranger...Looks just like a medium rogue clockwork until you see the name. Hits in the high 20's low 30's.

Ran like a newbie to the windmills for the Watchman to take him out.

Getting it to spawn
# Aug 24 2000 at 2:01 AM Rating: Good
As far as I can remember, the trick to making this spawn is talking to Nilit. At least that worked when I did this quest a couple of months ago. Tried it again last night and it didn't work. Now Verant hardly ever changes quests so I think I forgot what you have to say to him. Anyways, I know that at least a couple of months ago, some people were using this spawn to powerlevel their characters because they could make it continuously spawn by having one person repeatedly talk to Nilit. So the trick is in what you have to say to Nilit I think
RE: Getting it to spawn
# Nov 22 2000 at 11:47 AM Rating: Default
If what you say is true, Verant probably did nerf the spawn. If people were powerleveling their characters on this thing, Verant probably changed it so it won't spawn on command anymore. It's unfortunate since I could never find the thing when I needed it.
The Name
# Aug 18 2000 at 6:21 PM Rating: Default
Wierd, I see the screenshot that says Nilit's Clockwork, but I killed it yesterday, and it was called Nilit's Contraption. Green as could be to a 34 ranger, slightly more hps than the regular clockworks.

# Aug 21 2000 at 6:49 PM Rating: Default
Aye,
Ran into him the other day out of sheer cooincidence (I tried camping him a while back with no luck). Conned blue to me, a lvl 26 DRU - easy kill. Damned if I know how often he spawns though. :(

As a young Druid killing anything that moved outside of the Mino Caves, my group of 5 were having a great time. Then this guy spawned. One of our group ran and zoned (chicken) the rest of us stayed and fought, but we lost. We got him to about 1/2 health. I returned yesterday, as I have gained some levels, to take revenge and for 40 minutes I saw nothing - Not one metal spider anywhere...Have they been removed?

I have never ever found one of these while hunting at the Mino Cave. This is for a gnome quest next to the Staff of Observers quest. Just go past the valley from the windmills (not towards the minocaves). One of the gnomes outside of the buildings should say something about building a Nilits clockwork to carry toys, but it went crazy and begs you to kill it for him. I haven't done this quest so I wouldn't know if you are supposed to give the toy to him.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 22 2000 at 1:23 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) nilits apperntly luvs necromancers i was walking around with him watching him kill pll and laughing at them for 2hr til a lvl 34 killed him an laughed at me;p he was a tru friend hope to see him around(no kos to necros ;))

I saw it yesterday Tuesday all morning Pacific time. It attacked me when I tried to kill a rogue clockwork in it's attack radius. Almost killed me because I wasn't sure of the faction hits and was trying to get good faction in Akanon. But it was green to my 24 wizard.
