I see Pearlescent Fragment listed as one of the drops for these guys. Is this, in fact, the same fragment for the cleric epic, and if so, does the drop rate from these wurms seem about the same (ie, abysmally low) as it is in Skyfire?

Unfortunately, the pearlescent fragments for the cleric epic only drop in Skyfire. They are listed here because the wurm is in both zones.

This are not hella hard at 50 i was taking them with ease. Dooming Darkness (or Cascading if you have focus items), VoS, BoD pet atk (taunt off), asytole then when it's at 40-60% re snare and fear. so its kinda semi fear/aggro kite. I usually have to refresh BoD and dooming only once before its dead but with my mana pool it doesn't seem much.

These have hella hitpoints, and not worth the effort. Although I was in no danger of dying they just took a lot of mana. 1 Plague, 2 Envenomed Bolts, 2 Turgurs + pet damage.
And he dropped the grand total of 8 gold....WOOHOO, I'm rich.

kiting these
# May 09 2003 at 9:24 AM Rating: Default
5 posts
Number 1.. Having played more than one druid through 52nd+ you dont kite one at a time IF and only if you are going to kite them to begin with. As at 51st, 52nd and even 53rd level you really only have one spell that will touch these every time without being resisted in part or full. That is Lightning Blast (49th lvl spell / 477 non-melee dmg MAX.). To make it worth the mana spent seeing as LB costs 234 mana quad kiting is preferable. Number 2 see Number 1. I can quad kite these and could since 51st. But I dont suggest unless you have a Kei and have at least 251 wis + about 400 to 600+ in mana items which is what my druid has. If you disbelieve me and any of you are on Fenin Ro.. Gimme a tell sometime and come watch. Its quite simple. The only reason I suggest a Kei (is not because it cant be done without it) is because should something go wrong during the pull (such as aggro'ing a Sarnak Extremist or someother non-wurm mob) you need a recourse.

Cheers,
Sepulturagi - 53rd Druid - Fenin Ro

Spell: Pillar of Fire

As a 46 Bard, I decided to chant kite one of these after asking the zone if they cast (and trusting the answer :) ).

Bastaad was tough! Of course, I started kiting before I wondered about their ability to resist Chant of Flame (hmm, inhabitants of the Burning Woods resistant to Fire based spells... ya think?!). Of course, no time to sit and mem Furtail's, so I did Snare, Chant of Frost and Chant of Disease with Selos Drum. I kept trying Chant of Flame. It kept getting resisted. Took 7 minutes. Got stunned once and hit twice, the second time for 144... that didn't happen again.

My first, and so far, only soloed "A Wurm" dropped:

- Spell: Pillar of Frost
- (2) Phosphorous Powder
- (1) Wurm Meat
- 4pp

The exp was ok. Maximum 4% was granted on a dark blue (which means a high dark blue). Probably better off sticking to Greater War Bone skeles for XP and straight cash.

I was soloing these at 47 with my Beastlord, standing toe-to-toe with them. Depending on where your killing them at will determine if you can kill them easy or hard. I was near DL zone just out past the clearing. Pulled one and he fell rather easy, however I did use alot of mana keeping pet alive and healing myself. The wurm was hitting me for around 113 for a high hit. I was exploring near Chardok area and pulling these at 50. They are higher level the closer you get to Chardok. They were hitting between 123 for low and 145 high highest hits depending on their level. I can't kill these w/o having at least 50 to 60% mana. Takes a lot of heals on my pet.
Another Necro solo post
# Dec 09 2002 at 3:05 PM Rating: Excellent
I see alot of Necro's posting on how to solo these at level 50 or so, but just to let any younger Necro's know that are looking for a good fight, I am currently solo'ing these at level 40.

The tactic is the same essentially.
1) Augment Pet
2) Pull with Dooming Darkness
3) Fear!
4) Repeat Fear and Snare when necessary.
5) Let pet bash on them for about 5 minutes.
6) Enjoy about half a blue - 3/4's a blue per kill.

The only thing that makes this harder at level 40 instead of 50 is that your meditate isn't quite high enough to continually gain mana faster than your spending it. I might be two bubbles down on health (CoB) and at about 50% mana when done with one of these.
Another thing to watch out for is that they resist more at this level~ be sure to snare/fear soon enough that you can repeat if it is resisted.

I personally like to pull them to the wall near the giant crater in the opposite direction of the giant fort. Here their pathing makes them run around in one spot mostly when snared. Near the edge of the wall, their is a spot where they flat out stop moving if still snared (even with full life).

Have fun Necro's.

Hello all
I have been soloing the wurms in burning woods for the last 3 days went from 49 to 50 killing these guys.Have had no problems with resist.I use darkness then pull to pet.Set pet on wurm hit with fear throw in a bonds of death if low on hp's and sit and let pet take him down.Most fights last around 2 to 3 minutes tops.I have used dot's on them but seemed a waste of mana.The dot's I used had no resist at all.In all the wurms I have killed I have not seen one spell drop yet.Looking forward to killing more and getting lvl 51 off these guys

Does anyone know what the drop rate on spells is in BW.
I have only been there one night(4hrs), but didn't see one spell drop.
Was wondering if that is normal or /shrug.
Any info out there that can help would be appreciated.

I get WIS caster spells all the time ( one per 2 hours or so ) of fighting scoriae hornets--the level 45-46 ones drops spells about 10% of the time level 51-54. Also Ancient giants drop spells as well, more towards the INT cast side of spell drops tho. I have spent a LONG LONG time in BW and I have never ever seen a hybrid only spell drop once ( not counting spells like Yaulp4 which pally's and clerics can use) or a bard song drop here. Spell drops are much better in Skyfire but only off of named mobs / level 50+ mobs. BTW, dont even think about tackling Gullerback for spells or XP--only way Id mess with him solo is if he dropped Malo ( hehe I wish ), and maybe not even then. Spell drops are a moot point now, you can go to the bazaar and get nearly any pre-Luclin pre 58 spell for very cheap price now. Its only those new Luclin era spells and 59-60 you need to worry about what mobs drop what.

I have never seen a spell drop in BW and I hunted there for a couple of weeks. The same amount of time in Skyfire yielded about 30 spells. Level up in BW and when you are able go to Skyfire. Spells have all been 51 to 58. Safer in Skyfire too, near Skyfire zone.

I soloed one last night with my 51 necro. The one I got was probably around 45, since it hit me for 144 a couple of times. Landed darkness, asytole, ebolt and splurt, but ignite blood was resisted four times in a role. Took all of my mana and only had one bub of health left at the end. Droped a chunk of meat and a wurm scale. It was definitely one of the more exciting fights I have had by myself.

The higher levels wurms I think are just "Wurm" rather than "A Wurm".

I killed one today that hit for 147 -- I suppose that means it was a 46th level wurm... tough bastard. Dropped 8 silver. :/

hmm...think you got it backwards.
think "a wurm" is bigger than "wurm."

I'm solo'ing them at 40...so the most I usually see is even/yellows for the easy fights, The rest are red....

Most of my even/yellow fights have been "wurms"

Use your best pet and your 29 dooming darkness. Just pull with dark, fear, pet. Reapply darkness every so often and fear every 40 seconds or so. Just sit and med the rest of the time. Your DOTs and IB are useless so don't waste your mana. Just use the pet. Takes a while but I can solo even the 47 ones and have more mana than when I started, and that's without COB on. Use this same technique on the giants!!!

excellent fight
# Dec 07 2000 at 8:35 AM Rating: Excellent
i'm a 46 necromancer and these wurms definitely offer the best fights you can ever get in norrath.
the safest way to solo these are to set camp near the giant fort and wait till you spot one.
i'd suggest having a jboots on you since they can be really nasty when not darknessed. it's really a matter of luck. if you happen to pull a high level one (45 to 47) you'll definitely spot a difference in the way they resist your spells. i've had darknessed resisted 4 times flat before it caught up on me and pummeled me all the way to dirt. could never forget that moment *sigh*. anyway, when you pull with darkness and it DOES stick, you just gained victory. dark, fear and apply asystole. oh dont forget to augment your pet beforehand as it will deal roughly 30-40% more damage than when it doesnt. watch out for wandering mobs. as i've said before the best place to fight these creatures is just around the giant fort. open, clean and clear. apply fear ever 20-30 seconds. if you let fear to worn off before re-appying again, you just made a fatal mistake. these bad boys hit for 140+ and can definitely kill your pet within seconds (imagine if fear worn off, you re-cast fear, it resisted, again, resisted again..) . your pet is the one doing the bashing and kicking and it WILL be your last line of defence. dont forget to re-dark the wurm every 1 minute. expect a long fight.
dont bother stacking venom of snakes, scourges or other dots. your mana wont be enough for all of these (unless you got some top-class equipments lol) i killed one with 192 int, jboots, and a 45 hitting pet. it's all possible.

I just moved to BW at level 52 with my druid, and have yet to be able to land a Breath of Ro on these bad boys. Drifting Death and Engulfing Roots work just dandy...just takes longer to kill em without Breath.

I pretty much just stick to greater plague skeletons, moldering / tottering gorillas, and non-spellcasting sarnaks. I found that the hornet area is a relatively safe area to sit and to fight, so I'm choosing to keep my non-kos faction with them.

At 52 druid, I get Breath of Ro to stick fairly often. I cast Ice first, 612 DD and 10 second FR debuff - hits nearly EVERY time for full, I have never seen it miss in BW. BoR sticks maybe 60% of the time after that.

I've hit Scoria hornets, gorillas, giants, and Sarnaks in BW using Ice first. I usually don't go after the Wurms, but I doubt they are more FR than Scoria Hornets.

As a necro, even the 47 wurms are easy. Just darkness, fear, send pet, bond of death, re-dark, splurt and/or ebolt,med, and refear as needed. unless of course you have fear resisted 2 times in a row in which case hope FD doesnt make you fall to the ground lol

I wouldn't say easy, true if you keep it darked/feared, then yes you can I am a lvl 45 necro and can solo a blue on, the trouble is in burning and skyfire area there is too many wandering MoBs as soon as the wurm fears away, it'll cross paths with something else that will then argo your pet and then your in trouble.

They vary in difficulty. We fought a couple last night and one was easy while the other was very hard, hitting multiple 147's numerous times. The tough one had to have 8000 HP's easy. Our wizard ICed it 4 times alone.

There seem to be to different types of wurms with the same name in Burning woods the 42 level and below that hit for around 115 can be hit with fire spells and the 41 and above level that hit for 130 plus are completely fire resistant. 46th level wizard here, No way to tell the wurms appart besides letting a tank get hit first to tell you how much they are doing

The lvl range is off or has been changed, because at 39 i have seen many blacks and blues near the FM zone tunnel. As a necro with jboots i can solo the blues and blacks.
How to wiz kite wurms, also their hp info...
# Aug 26 2000 at 8:22 AM Rating: Excellent
Level 39 wurms have around 4400 hps I'd guess. Level 43-44 wurms have 6,000-6,500 hps. Level 47 wurms have around 8,000 hps. I know this from experience on kiting almost a hundred of them (Level 55 Wiz). You can tell what level they are if they happen to hit you. The top level wurms(47 seems right) hit for max 149 damage.

Oh btw, I don't use Ice Comet anymore. I just load up Voltaic Draught and pepper em with this when kiting (I got jboots). It is more mana efficient than IC. Load up your gear on mana items all the way. Level 47's can take up to an average of 15 Voltaic Draughts to kill. Make sure you have full mana when starting cause your gonna have to root at the end and collect mana (via harvest) if ya get a 47 wurm. Level 43-45's can be done with just a full tank. Use Immobilize to root cause its the quickest root spell, hehe don't let em hit ya. Also use Bonds of Force to snare em first, it seems to be never resisted and uses less mana than Spectral Shackles.

The SW area of the (from the hornet nest to DL path to FG Fort to meteor crater west of FG Fort) zone DOES have the highest wurms. To the left and NE of the FG fort spawns the named ones. The area towards Chardok (NE) have the lower level ones (mostly green to me in this area now).

Well good luck, i can post more info if your interested.

Hey I was wondering if a lvl 40 wizard has ANY chance of soloing one of these? I tried one that conned yellow to me and started kiting it near the entrance with BoF. Nuked it a couple times and got partial resists and just zoned. Wondering if I actually tried if I could kill one.

sadly not much of a chance....perhaps if got full on damage 100% and zero resists could take the lower level 42 ones (BTW i was 42 and saw one as BLACK con so i know it is 42). But considering the other nasty creatures that run rampant in BW i would never suggest it alone. Take an example. my team was whacking Forest Giants here and a sarnak avenger (?name) came up on us and cut through our 47-49 tanks like a hot knife through butter.

Actually they are on the Minions of Scale faction, closely related to Ring of Scale, and as far as I can tell they start KoS to all.

wurms

Solo'd several wurms recently. As someone stated, north of FM zone tunnel the worms are green and low blue to me (lvl 53), however, I fought several at the west crater (near the giant fortress), all were blue to me and hit from 131, to 141...had to run from that one as I just couldn't get off my last spell. They drop about 4 to 6 plat. I probably killed 6 or 8 and didn't see anything other than a wurm scale which is not stackable and sold for a plat. The ones near the crater are very fire resistant, however magic based hit with no resist. Oh, and they probably run slower than your average mob.
ahh

in my eye, a high level mob that can be kited easy yet drops no loot aside from high level gems and spells is a necros dream =) i havent gone here yet, but my guildmate is constantly there kiteing and hes gaining levels pretty fast, so i'm gonnahave to get him to show me the rops there
Low MR, not great loot

I was in a full group of 35-40s yesterday near the FM tunnel to the zone. All of the Wurms we fought (of about 4-5) conned even to yellow to our level 40 ranger.

I could land spells on these at 35 with tashani, and didn't get a single resist (even on the highly resistant enchanter DD).

They usually drop about 4-5 plat in cash, and I think we got a gem or two.

For those looking for confirmation on the maximum level on these, I can verify that they are at least 45th since I have recieved the high end scroll drops on them. I'd go for 47th as well, since a few of these have nicked me for 149 damage, and it'd be sick for a 45th to hit that high ;)

Depends where you find them

The level of the wurm is dependant on where you find it. Certain areas of the zone have higher levels of the same version of mobs. Coming down the trail from dreadlands, if you turn right at the bottom and run a ways, you will find some of the lower level mobs, including the lower level worms, which have around 4500 hps (takes four ice comets to kill one). However if you go further into the zone, near the giant fort, the wurms are higher level. I hit one with 5 ice comets once and it could have taken two more at least, so it must have had around 7500-8000 hps. Nasty to say the least. I had to run hehe
Min Level

Also, the minimum level is incorrect. Our group has been fighting wurms that were blue to me at 40 near the Frontier Mtn zone.
