Spawn time of Scribe?
# Dec 09 2003 at 10:07 PM Rating: Decent
Can anyone please post current info on Scribe spawn times? I've seen two posts over a year old stating 20 phs and no spawn, I'd like to know how long it took for him to actually spawn in one camping session. I camped him for 6.5 hours last night, 4 sages, no scribes. Servers down this morning for patch or whatever and now camping him again. Thanks for your advice :)

Spawned today. Helped guildy do the chanter turn in. Then killed the scribe. Dropped the "Parchment of Flayed Skin". not lore or magic. if you open it(its a book), it reads: "This piece of parchment is in fact a flayed piece of skin, upon which unsettling and cryptic runes have been drawn."

No Idea what its for

I got the parchment after turn in as well. Can't find any info on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Quick Observation
# Nov 19 2002 at 10:52 PM Rating: Decent
From all these posts, I've observed 2 things.
It appears that if you don't know what you're doing against an enchanter, they are really powerful :) However, if you do know what you are doing, enchanters are really easy opponents. Just a side note, I cleared this whole room very easily and resisted all of the scribe's and the two wizards' spells with only 136 MR.

My question is, does anyone know what to do with the quill yet? I saw one for sale in bazaar the other day for 1000pp but the owner was afk and never responded if he knew what it was for.

Major bug: BE WARNED
# Nov 04 2002 at 11:01 AM Rating: Default
I was camping executioner last night, but since no one was camping sage/scribe I would run over and clear it every now and then.

Scribe spawned and I pulled him (pulling to a safe area with slow is so nice). I sent my pet in to tank his pet and that went quickly. Now my pet tanks scribe for a bit. At about 1/2 health scribe manages to charm my pet. Pet beats on me for about 10 seconds and then breaks the charm. It goes back to the scribe and kills it.

HERE'S THE BUG: Even though my pet was mine at the end of the fight, the game seems to have considered it an NPC in terms of the kill. Scribe WAS killed (saw the message), but left no corpse and gave no experience! I was pissed.

In the past (and I accept this could be different now) a charmed pet became a permanent NPC and could be found wandering the zone untill the next time the zone falls over.
still no scribe

gone thru over 20 spawns now and still no scribe this sucks... only got sage once he dropped a head item its pretty nice 9 int but no cha /cry.
He is easy

This guy should be no problem for anyone... I took my Necro in there when I was camping the runed cowl... Well scribe poped.. He mez'd me, so my pet proceded to beat the living crap out of it. I stood there stuned and watch my pet kick his sorry *ss all over that room... Although his spells can catch people off guard he has so few HPs that it really shouldn't be that tough.

My way of clearing room
# Apr 16 2002 at 11:31 PM Rating: Decent
As a 51 pally I use ivu to place myself in the back corner of the hidden room with the wizzies. I proceed to beat the crap out of them without getting adds. Then I use dw hehlm to heal and cast ivu so I can med in peace if I need to. If scribe is up I make sure I have 3 stuns up to interrupt his spells and beat him easily. This room isn't too hard if you just have the right strategy. Haven't died yet or had any problems so far.
Different way to Get Ink
# Jan 29 2002 at 1:05 PM Rating: Good
The easiest way to get the ink from the scribe is to cast Illusion Imp on yourself. Then cast Colaboration on any Undead Frog. At this point, assuming you haven't killed many, if any, undead frogs, you're Amiable with frogloks. Go down and hopefully someone else is killing in the sage room. When scrib pops, just walk over hand in the vial and get back ink.

No more charming and so on...and considering nobody knows what the scribes drops are, why bother killing it :)

Can anyone confirm that this strategy still works? Even after the illusion/faction change from mid-last year?

This seems like the way to go if it works.

Notice the date of the original post. Illusions don't fix your faction anymore, so Monster illusions don't bring you up to anywhere near Neutral, or more to point, they don't wipe out your racial negative faction. Changed about a year or so ago. Enchanters were exploring some of the PoP zones in Monster form. hehehe.
Flayed Skin Parchment
# Dec 15 2001 at 9:04 PM Rating: Default
I was in a group last night, with 2 pallys, one cleric, a warrior, and I, a rogue. We were all in our mid 40's. This guy nuked the warrior pretty hard, but with one complete heal, and the pallys stunning this guy, we took him down pretty easily. He was blue to me at 42. Didnt try to charm any of us. I looted a Flayed Skin Parchment off of him, but there was no quill on him. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this. Thanks

I was in the ***/sup rooom with a guild shammy...I'm 46 pally and he's a 42 shammy. We had no problems holding the room...single pops cuz we had it spread out. Well...next thing we know as we kill the sup's ph. We got an add...i'm thinking roamer in ***/sup? Kill sup ph and notice that the scribe is nuking my shammy to death...I proceed to kill his the lil punk. Stun...root...tank...stun...tank...he's dead. Dunno why he popped in the ***/sup room. But the only fought him two other times...my first exp was horrible. Went down to his room with 2 47+wiz's, chanter 50, cleric high 40's and me at 38lvl. We enter the room and ivu drops on cleric. All aggro goes to him...we tank the scribe...but he charms both other tanks, who proceed to finish off cleric...chanter's mez won't stick on the tanks...next thing i know...i'm charmed...tanking our tanks who just broke charm and killed our cleric. I proceed to switch after i dropped one tank and beat on our wiz's who had other ghouls on them...poor wiz's couldn't even gate. Next thing i know...i brk charm only to have the scribe nuke me to death as the ghouls root me. Ugly. My second to last exp...was sweet revenge...went down there with some guildies...scribe is up...I drop ivu and stun him...everyone assists me...scribe drops like a sack of potatoes...we mopped up the room which our chanter had mezzed...WOOT To bad the gorgon quill feather and parchment are friggn' useless.

I had to actually log on when I saw the post below, just because I've been camping the Sage for the past 6 dayz for the stupid runed cowl. I'm too hard head'ed to buy it. Even though I have now have 2 EBCP's/5 Braided Cinch Cords/ 5 Exe Hoods/ 2 Adamite Eppolets/ etc..etc.. hehe any who.. If you root the Scribe off the bat, he will charm you. I'm lvl 52, w/100+ MR. His charm sticks on me 90% of the time. The BEST way to kill him is to chain stun the **** outta him. He doesn't have many HP's. And if your dex is half way decent, even with his pettin hittin you, you should be able to cast. If you just root him, and nuke him. You will be charmed. I've seen lvl 55+ peeps get charmed. If your in a group, make sure any casters don't have there big nukes in the first of last slots, same with clerics. No heals in the first or last slots. Cuz if your charmed those are the slots that will be used if he has the charmed person cast. I was groupin with a 57 wiz, 52 cleric. The wiz got charmed.. Nuked me 2 times, for 1000+ each hit. I was dead.

So, I guess in closing. The best way to take scribe is pull him to the ent of the room. Hope he doesn't cast charm on ya imediatly. If he doesn't it's cake. If he does well you run round L.Guk for a lil bit.. Then come back and try again, cuz for some reason the agro wears off after the charm leaves. And, everyone should yell at VI for this. Since when do peeps get to have a Pet and Charm to get another Pet.. Bunch of BS if ya ask me..

All I hear about is how hard this guy is even to the level 50+ people.
I can safely say I have yet to loose a battle to this guy solo at 51 and 52.
Yes he is hard and charm sucks but if you root him first, then take out the pet there isn't much to worry about because the pet is the one that breaks your spells.
If you are worried about the DS... well then sucks to be you. The fast melee's worst nightmare and Achilies Heel.
Hell I just nuked the SOB with Dismiss Undead. took about 8 shots with a few hits in here and there.

From what I am reading you 50+ level guys are taking the room all wrong.
Sit in the corner just before the room and pull the scribe or ph with a spell or thrown item.
The other guy won't agro and nor will the wizards behind the wall.

Problem solved, worries over.

I died once trying to solo this room at 54th lvl the wizards put out oo much damge.....

oh and one last thing when the pet eats its cuz the wizards can killt eh ept you can charm something and smash everythign in the room it is common knowledge that charmed pets out damage my best pet without speed.......

I was dooing ***/Sup-room looking for my new TBB. I had just the same day recieved a CoF, so was looking for some new improvement in the Belt section. Anyhow from up in my nice little nest I hear this dude cast spells. I then walk down to him and single pulls him to a place I can fight him. I didnt give it much thought that he would have a dmg-shield. Anyhow as I loaded of my billion blows (Monk epic) my Hp started to fall ofcourse. Anyhow I had him pretty long down, and thought I would just use my Mend (Cureing 25% HP), but in the same second I got charmed. This though didnt stop the scribe from beating on me, or the pet for that sake. I didnt take any dmg though. So I was thinking wtf. After charm broke though, then I was instantaniusly dead. I had the mouse curser locked over my Mend button, and never got to click.
Beaware of this guy, he isnt all that easy to solo. (Even with 100+ MR)

Was here last nite, first time in Lguk for me and having a blast in ***/sup group (died 4 times but still got 2 yellows for the nite). Then someone pulled this SOB. I managed to get out... What's a Ghoul Sc... and then I proceeded to beat on the cleric, making him unable to heal. We managed to win, and I dunno how, and the chanter mezzed himself and me, saving our poor cleric. Heh fun zone!

Been in Guk a while now and made some good loot/exp, had some bad occasions (as has everyone), but last night this bad boy was the key that took out my entire group, everything went wrong:

Whilst attacking the sage ph the scribe pop'd along with the whole room:

-Main tank got charmed and went ld at the same time (started hitting me for 80's).
-Group leader gated without and word AND disbanded the group making group chat impossible ("Your not in a group, are you talking to yourself?").
-Monk eventually shouted "Scribe" and FD'd at 3/4 HP: refusing to get back up.
-It turned out our Enchanter had lied about his lvl (doh!) to get cowl drop and couldnt charm anything off me.

Leaving me (39 war) and our 40 rogue (brave lad) to try and defeat Scribe, 2 Wizzy's, and the sage's PH all whilst being hit by our charmed 45 main tank.

Lesson 1: Dont think that just because the room is empty when you get down there that it has been properly broken, cos having the whole room pop on you sucks the big one!

Lesson 2: Some real chickens/ greedy idiots come to lower Guk. Con everyone and make sure of your groups lvl/exp in this V Hard zone.

Lesson 3: Make sure that the cleric in your group isnt the only one in the zone who can rez.

Lesson 4: On other occasions the scribe went down no probs - just make sure you are all on him fast to reduce charms.

Lesson 5: I love Wizzy's with Evac, shame we didnt have one :(

I've had 2 exps with this punk. First try, 55 wiz and I go to smack him up to break the camp. Wiz casts ice comet, frig charms him and his 108 MR. Needless to say, the Ice Comet that ensued hurt like hell. His charm then broke, and I got charmed. I healed the Scribe when charmed, doh. EVAC as I die for him.
Next try. I start the fight with stun and fly in and melee. Wizzy nukes him to all hell, we win.
My group took him fairly easily along with 4 othere frogs, very easy when he's not charming, and he doesnt, when being meleed. (We only had 2 tanks on him.)
Still, one tough bastad.

I'm a 52 Nec trying to get my Runed Cowl the old fashioned way. I have had 3 fights with this jerk. First time I darked him and then got charmed and gated when it broke to be safe. Second time I cast Envenomed Bolt (awesome dot) and a dark before I got charmed. The dot killed him and charm broke but his corpse poofed on me. Third time I hit him with Screaming Terror, then EB and he still got a charm off with pet bashing him. Charm broke and I nuked him dead but Sage PH had popped so I gated again to be safe. The only strategy I can think of as a Nec would be to chain cast ST but try to slip in some dots that have no initial damage. He is really making me mad, I'm almost 20 lvls above him and he has no trouble at all charming me. I'm grateful he hasn't charmed my pet because I'm far more scared of him attacking me than a damn frog.

What is this item used for? I looted it from the scribe in the sage room in lower guk. Identify tells me it is a book in a language I can not read. There is a short description of the item if you read it, something about covered in mystic symbols.
