I was FM when I wandered into the guy. He proved to have VERY little in the way of magic resistance. I went OOM when he was down to about 30 percent health and the rest of the fight was looong as I kept him snared with the clinging darkness talisman (I'm a DE) and instilled while I slowly medded up for more retributions. Thankfully, there were no adds or I'm sure there would have been a very different result. Had no idea what it was for at the time, guess I'll give the scale to a guildie.
L50 Shaman Solo
# May 22 2003 at 7:00 AM Rating: Default
I have a basic question please? Would a L50 Shaman (w/pet) have a decent chance of soloing this quest to get the Wurmy for an underpriviledged L25 Barbarin warrior please?

If so, what buffs should he get to make it easier please? I assume KEI is obvious. What else please?

I would get some summoned equipment for your pet. In particular: Muzzle of Mardoo, Belt of the Magi'not (sp?), and two of the weapons that proc cold damage. Put MR, FR, your best regen spell, Guardian and HoS on both you and the pet. Give yourself a stamina boost. Cast Alacrity and Spirit Quickening on the pet. KEI will make it easier for you to med up to FoM after all the buffs, but it really isn't needed for the fight itself.

I would start the fight by sending the pet in, casting Malaise, your best slow spell, scourge, E-Bolt, heal the pet if needed, then begin pounding on him yourself. Reapply DoTs and debuffs when/if they run out.

GL!

Good advice except the spirit quickening - don't bother with it. Parsed, it makes no difference to your pet's speed. It MAY add a little to dex (and therefore proc rate on the weapons) but that's unconfirmed.

Save the spell slot for Venom of the snake, or a DD (ice strike) if you want to burn on this mob.
Not very hard.

Saw this guy alot in BW, around the giant fort. Always avoided him since I firgured he could cast and beat me down. Well I was feeling frisky so I snared him with my song, then just chanted him down. At level 54 I had no resists on anything, Gullerback has more hps and is harder than this guy.

At level 56 most druids should be able to take this guy with c3. Basically, pull him with Ro's Smouldering Disjunction. That takes his fire resist down by about 66 points - now you can scoriae him non stop. Use Form of the Howler and lev too. Any other little mana regens you can get just make it easier - Spiritual Purity if you have a BL friend, PotG if you have a higher level druid buddy. Then just kite this guy with Scoriae until he's dead. Very doable (at least for a druid - which will probably provoke the usual rants about druids :p)
Scales are lore

Ok, I just killed both Azdalin and Gyrlin (sp?) and the scales they dropped were lore. It said, A Dragonscale, magic & lore. Gyrlin dropped a wurm scale though, is that the second scale? I don't understand how you turn in 3 scales if the dragonscales are lore. Any help would be nice.

The Scales are different. The lore represents the scale from each particular wurm...ie only one from Gylton, one from Azdalin.

If the necro is over 54 and can't solo Gullerback, he's got some serious issues with his use of spells. Any 54+ necromancer SHOULD be able to solo this guy.

1. Throw Thrall of Bones on any Greater War Bone Skeleton nearby
2. Augment him
3. Watch your pet mow down on Gullerback.

I do this all the time.

What after you kill gullerback?

Methinks you aren't a cleric. Any warrior wannabe is a cleric's worst nightmare, mana sponge, nonstop heals poured your way. Anyone tank wannabe (ie SK pally . . .) will just use all the clerics mana because they can't take as many hits, so cleric is constantly healing. Before you open that gaping hole in the front of your face, try taking on a hard hitting mob without a warrior, you'll be on a long CR.

Yes, a warrior takes hits; that's his job, moron, and a warrior takes hits better than any other class in the game. That's a warrior's design. No class in the game sucks, every class has a role. Sure, rangers, paladins and shadowknights can melee AND cast spells, but non have the hitpoints or ac of a warrior. So, next time you open your stupid-ass mouth, you might want to make sure you know what the hell your talking about.

actually you can solo all the way to 50 pretty easily ( fungi makes it much easier/faster ) after 50 , I imagine it gets signifigantly harder to find mobs that won't require a healer in order to make xp at a decent rate ....
RE: can I?
# Jun 06 2002 at 2:39 AM Rating: Default
the only place a warrior is a must have tank is a mob that needs to be tanked using the defensive disc. a pally/sk is actually a better tank in an exp group due to the ability to raise their aggro by using spells. trust me, i see warriors fight for aggro on smaller raids and in groups all the time. i fire off a few spells and mobs stick to me like glue.

FYI a Warrior is a must for any well balenced group sure you can get along with out one but but your healer will go OOm trying to keep up the health of your wanna be tank, No other class can match the AC/HP's of a warrior. And as for keeping agro. It sound like the warriors you have been grouped with either have no idea how to fight or lack the proper weapons, I see many Warriors while grouped 2handing it, try telling them to duel wield with low ratio weaps. and continualy tuant. I have np keeping agro off my casters and healers, Keep the 2hander for soloing when you meed the high dmg rates. Just my 2 cp's worth.

i am a cleric and i say i would rather an sk or a pally ( equivilant gear to a warrior oif the same lvl ) any day due to there ability to hold aggro if a pally or an sk wants to the can take aggro form just about any warrior ( not including a warrior with a blade of carnage) and sk's have the ability to life tap a decent amount so yea they still need a healer but they can life tap to quit an impressive point. the only time a warrior is a must is if its a raid encounter mob and deffensive disc must be used

To actually answer your question...No, you wouldn't be able to solo him as a warrior, you would need some kind of healer, preferably a cleric though, since they are the best of the healers. And to answer the guy that says warriors can't solo, HAHAHA..they can, even without a fungi tunic, or any buffs at all, I have a warrior and spend a lot of time soloing for the hell of it.

Should be able to with no problem. I've found them to be easier than some of the regular non-named wurms around the area. Certainly easier than its placeholder, Gullerback. The other Gullerbacks are nasty too, be sure to track and kill the dark blue con one. That's the placeholder. Really seems like the only tricky thing about defeating Azdalin is finding him or getting him to pop.
Azdalin and Gullerback

I was able to take out Azdalin and acquire the scale last night. Using my 51 druid, Azdalin is a piece of cake. Just root/rot/med and he falls easily with very few resists. Azdalin popped twice in a row, just 3 minutes after Gullerback fell.

Gullerback is a different story however...
I pulled Gullerback to the underside of the giant fort since there are very few mobs that walk close to it. With two level 51 druids he was still a major pain, and we had to work together to take him out. (he was blue to us at 51, but has a huge amount of hp) He resisted every snare and root we tried but surprisingly Starfire and Ice hit every time. Because these spells are rather mana hungry, we had to take turns casting and gaining aggro while the other meditated. We ran him in around a circular pattern under the giant fort until the other was ready to cast again. Having SoW was critical to our sucess, since he hit into the 130s. Hopefully these details will help you to decide the proper way to attempt this yourself.

I was almost able to solo him as a level 52 wizard (had a low level bard (35) in my group for speed, manasong and track when needed).

Just needed to get 2 more nukes off in order to finish him. I tried medding, but he ran off and regained hp too quickly. The bard was is a savior because of the speed.

I tried constantly rooting Gullerback over and over again in the beginning. Ironically I could have finished him otherwise if I saved that mana :(. Of course not one root stuck.

I mainly used my fire DD, best ratio and fire works best on him I heard. Only had one resist; not full resist. Thanks to Extended Range III I was able to kite him.

I'll try him later again when I'm willing to have some excitement and when my bard friend is willing to do it again.

All I have to say is, don't be scared of not being able to kill the wurm, you have this guy to kill first, if he's popped.

Good luck :).

RE: pop loc
# Dec 12 2001 at 10:12 AM Rating: Decent
the pop location is random, but both named wurms seem to pop near enough to the giant fort that if you hunt giants for a while, with a tracker, eventually you'll at least see entalon. in my experience entalon seems to be up a lot (as well as gylton, another named wurm). azdalin however, is a rare spawn, and you can help her along by killing the highest-conning gullerback (a really nasty ape) in the area.

After a month of tring to get enough people together to kill Gullarback and get this guy to spawn I gave up. There we a few time where we killed up to 10 Gullarbacks to get this guy to spawn and nothing. Until one day me and a friend was just passing thru this zone and got him on track and killed him. After killing him we headed to go finish quest and was looking at track again and he was there again so we ended up getting 2 of these with out ever killing gullarback. We got both of them right east of the giant fort. So for all of you tring to get gullarback to get him to spawn good luck

You need three scales.

1) Drops off of Azdalin (named wurm in Burning Woods)
2) Drops off of Gylton (named wurm in Burning Woods)
3) Is the "quest guy in Temple Ro" =)

------

So it looks like you have one more named wurm to kill, my friend. The best thing to do is hold a scale in your hand and have a caster (enchanter?) cast "Identify" upon you. Then you will be able to ascertain which scale you are holding (I think it will tell you if it's Azalin's or Gylton's, or the one you got from the Temple of Solusek Ro). Once you determine which wurm is dead, merely go kill the other one for the last scale, then turn them in to Squire Fuzzbin in Firiona Vie. He's a rather pesky pop, as when he does he goes running around and generally attracts the attention of the drachnids in the area. You must keep him alive. But before THAT, you must find and hail a befuddled gentleman named Sir Hobble. And unfortunately, Hobble too is running through the woods with beasties hot on his trail. After hailing Hobble, Fuzz pops - find him. Give him the three scales.

Yes, a 52 mage can solo this. Use your 51 earth pet and chain cast is the best method to fighting the named wurms. If you have the Luclin pet heal then could do it that way...but chaining pets way more efficient. Also, obviously, char does not work very well on these so would have to revert to using the 44 shock dd. When I hunt here I always chain pets (actually, that is the only way I can seem to solo good blues at 54). Good luck.

I would say definetly. I was takeing out Entalon and Gylton at 52 as an enchanter. And as we all know. Mage pets rock way better then Enc pets. Pet-kiteing was a must for me though. I would estimate HP at 6K and not extremely MR. And like most wurms. Probably heavily fire-based dmg resitant.

Gullers and Wurms
# Aug 09 2001 at 4:00 PM Rating: Default

125 posts
One thing to note: Gullerback is not a named ape. Gullerback apes are a type of ape that range in level from about, what, 47 to 55? I'm a 45 ranger and when I track, I notice usually two or three blue Gullerbacks and usually a red one. The red one can summon a pet, apparently, and *all* of them have insane hit points and are pretty fierce fighters. I'd venture that the Gullerback apes have more HPs than most of the wurms or giants in the area. As for which Gullerback is a particular placeholder for the named wurm or wurms, I dunno. I'd put my money on the highest level one, obviously. If you have a tracker in the 40's, have him or her track for the red Gullers. Kill them and retrack to see what pops up.

I got dragon scale and wurm scale from Azdalin last night. Wasn't even aware of the quest, it was all just random hunting. I was with a 53 pally and a 52 magician. The wurm was incredibly easy. Didn't seem to hit for much. Went down fast. The Gullerbacks we hunt are probably twenty times scarier. They tend to chase us out of the zone at times.

In any case, I suppose now I'll go for a Wurmslayer, since a third of the deal is done. Will replace my Crystalline Sword, which I have been using in my primary hand. Then I'll be using a Guardian Sword and a Wurmslayer, and I can't complain about that. Anyway, I'm having a blast in Burning Woods. Great place for anyone mid 40's to low 50's.

Ahh, but I disagree. Gullerback is a named mob. I've seen him many times (and only one of him at a time) and killed him anytime I saw him. (He picked the first fight and now he will go down every time I get wiff of him). I've killed this monkey about 15 times now and he has never summoned me, even when he was over lvl 50.

I've also never seen him with a pet, however after a little bit of kiting I have enough adds to seem like he has a few.. . :) and oh yes, he has a ton and a half of hit points.

Gullerback IS the PH for Azdalin. Az doesn't pop all the time, sometimes you get gullerback again and another lovely tattered mantle, but Az will show up eventually. And just for a further note Gullerback is 100% Magic resist, and all the wurms are 100% fire resist. From my personal experience I have had more trouble kiting the wurms, only because it seems they have a longer reach and tend to hit me more, but I spose that is what I get for trying to type and kite at the same time. :) But in most cases when you are not like me and running endless circles the wurms should probably be easier to take down.

Hope this info helps.

When I track and get anywhere from 3 to 10 gullerbacks on track, I pretty much know it's not a named. I've fought two at once (in a group and yes we were chased out)... so I do have to agree to disagree with you on that point. Unless you mean the one or two red ones which are up at any given time. Perhaps they are the ones to which you refer.

For pure melee nastiness - the wurms are far easier in my experience. Gullerbacks have a tendency to simply rip you apart. Casters can't do much.

But good to know gullers are placeholders for Azdalin.

Not neccesarily true - it's possible to have multiples of some Named MoBs. The best example is Grachnist the Destroyer in Warsliks Woods, who's also known as the Iksar Scaled Glove factory.

He's certainly a Named, and I've personally seen multiples of him up simultaneously.

I'm starting all this stuff in Burning Woods, and Leafbringer is exactly right. There's a (possibly named) "Gullerback" who is always bright red to me. There are also any number of blue mobs called "Gullerback" up at any time. These are separate entities. If they were multiples of a named, then the level wouldn't fluctuate so consistently and drastically. The red con is the placeholder, the others are just a pain in the butt. Don't go killin the first Guller you run into - make sure you're fighting the highest con, if you want to spawn Az.

There are regular gullerback apes and then there is Gullerback which is a named ape and the place holder for the worm. Hope this clears things up.

To clarify -- there are no "gullerback apes." Gullerback is a named MOB and the PH for Azdalin.

The ape types are "totterback" and "tatterback."

Well, I suppose this is kicking a dead horse, but I didn't want the last word to be wrong. There absolutely ARE Gullerback apes (plural on purpose because there can be several up at any given time) - if you had the gift of tracking you would know this to be true, as I do. In addition, I have fought with a party, no less than TWO Gullerback apes at the same time. My eyes did not deceive me (nor did the damage which chased us out of the woods).

Another above poster is absolutely correct. In addition to these (generally blue but DON'T LET THAT FOOL YOU to a 49 ranger) apes, there is also generally one red Gullerback up. He is apparently indeed a named mob, not necessarily to be confused with the other Gullerbacks. He cons red to my 49 ranger and is the placeholder for Azdalin. I can't imagine how tough he is, as the blue Gullerbacks are hard enough. I posted way up there that he can summon a pet or monster and in that I was truly wrong. I confused what someone had told me in an OOC and what he can do is summon YOU. So I apologize for that ignorant statement.

However, in addition to gullerback apes, you are correct Vaclav. There are also tatterbacks and (not totterback, no such creature, I believe you meant tottering - there are also mouldering apes as well.)

I think that about covers the apes of the Burning Woods - they're all a bit on the ferocious side, but the blue gullerbacks (please don't anyone correct me again on this by saying they don't exist, ENTER the zone with a tracker, have him or her track, ask how many blue gullers are up, and there you'll have the truth... I *promise* - fight several of them at a time if that's what it takes to convince you)...

Anyway. I hope this clears thins up.

I see pallies soloing at level 60 all the time on my server, in fact everytime I step into Fungus Grove I see at least a few of them soloing shrooms and such in there. Pallies are, in my opinion, a very valuable and powerful class. Or have the potential if played right. The spells that they have very well complement each other, and their stuns are invaliable in a group fighting casters. Next time that big, nasty mob you are fighting doesn't CH because of a paly stun make sure to tell the paly that was nice, but you can't solo. He/she can continue the argument where I left off.

I would have to disagree with you on that one. I soloed my pally most of the way to 51, and continue to do so now, when I'm bored. it is quite easy, beat on mob for a while, when low on health, stun, root, back up and heal yourself to full, go back and finish it. LH if all else fails.

Actually, as a 35 bard I solo'd a 45 melee mob (named Sarnak in Frontier Mountains) by charming giants in the area. Took about 45 minutes, but it is possible.

Trust me, soloing is possible at 45 for a druid. It just takes a LONG LONG LONG time. I soloed an even con wurm at level 45. It would not have been possible without my Elder Spiritist Vambraces. I also found, that firestrike would not land, but lightning base nukes would. The dot would stick too, and I could cast that forever. It took me around 15-20mins to solo the wurm.

I would not recommend soloing wurms at this level for experience. The only reason I did it was to see if I could.

probably not, wurms got sweet resistance, and got amazing amout of HP, and hit very very hard..better wait until 50, then solo might be possible.

I killed one with my 51 druid using the snare root DOT method, need to cast root a few times, but once it was on, it last quite long.

Id say for druid, safest bet is wait for 52. At that lvl you have Breath of Ro, a really good DoT, that stacks with Drifting Death. For sure gotta wait till 49, cuz at 49 u get a root that actually sticks ;). Im 51 and if i see him spawn im giong to try him, i think i can do it but well see =).

RE: DRU 53+ piece of cake
# Mar 30 2001 at 3:47 PM Rating: Default
Do not use Breath of Ro, its fire based and Wurms are very fire resistant...

Use 49th level root, and then alternate Winged Death DoT and either ES Vambraces or if you do not have vambraces, then cast Drifting Death with WD..

2 49th Roots, and 3 WD + ES Vambraces will send him into run mode.

I have soloed these wurms about 5 times now, and rarly even get hit by them, just stay away and watch out for other wandering mobs..

You had better be at least level 55 to even attempt to solo this guy. Yeah you might be able to solo the regular wurms but the named one's are tough. They Resist EVERYTHING!

I think it is worth a shot, if you can get your darkness to stick, give him the necro de-buff, then smack him with VoS, Scourge, and VC. Use the rest of your mana obviously to fear and blast, then I think you could take him down.

Ok, Chubu has confirmed with a guildmate, ALL 3 Wurms CAN be found in Burning Woods. BUT you can also do that quest to get the Xyfl(whatever) scale. Azdalin IS in fact linked to Gullarback, we went and killed him one time, then Azdalin was up very very shortley after. To do the Xyfl scale quest, give 2 carnelians to the Gargoyle at the OT outpost who is near a hall I think. He gives you a Tekite Gem which is no drop. You then take that gem to Temple of Soulesk Ro, and give to that Lord Somthing of Burwood, and he will give you the scale which is exactly the same one as getting it off the named Wurm.
RE: Once and for all...
# Oct 30 2000 at 7:04 PM Rating: Good
Ok you are partly right but there is a flaw. First of all only two of the named wurms spawn in Burning Woods. Azdalin (Guller is PH) and Glyton (entalon is PH). The third scale is awarded by either killing the named Paladin in the Temple of Solusek Ro or like this:
Get 2 Carnelians and a Peridot. GO to OT and give the 2 carnelians to tektie who is a named gargoyle guard. Take the tektite you get from him to the temple of sol ro and give it and the Peridot to the paladin. He in turn gives you the third scale. Piece of cake.
To finish the quest you must go to firiona vie and find sir Hobble (also a paladin) who only spawns when a goblin battlemaster is killed. To find the goblin exit the city and go left over to the statue, start tracking in that area. There should only be one on track (if any) kill him and Sir Hobble will spawn (not always right away) Sir hobble spawns almost straight out from the bridge so begin your tracking there. If he doesnt get killed he tends to wander over to the tunnel leading the dreadlands. Once you find him, hail him a bunch until his little buddy Squire FUzzbin shows up. Fuzzbin will not stop unless he is fighting so you must give him the 3 scales while he is running which can be hard. If you give him the scales while he is fighting, poof, you lost your wurmslayer.
Hope this helps.

Easier then risking the scales is to have someone either root or mez Sir Hobble to get Squire Fuzzmin to stop running. Then hand in the scales while he is stopped then camp to clear aggro.
Easy enough to do =)
