Just a little note, I killed the tainted today (at the edge of the water due west of the druid ring) and the Corrupted did NOT spawn right on top of his corpse, he spawned a little ways off to the SE of my location (SW of the druid ring). Not sure if teh corrupted spawned immediately after or if he was already up (as I didn't notice him for a few minuted after I killed the tainted. But I know for sure the Corrupted DID NOT spawn over the corpse of the tainted when I killed him.

you are right, keep quag there , and clear the beach around druid rings , tainted spawn on beach and after that corrupted spawn west to druid ring

Okay, after clearing the island completely two times, i decided to go here and check for Advice.
I made up my own "theory", and as usual: either i got lucky, or i found it out ;)
Here's what i did:
1. clear the South Beach completely, including the one that spawns in the mountain pass in the middle almost but not entirely on the beach
2. There are 3 Cyclopses that respawn very quickly (2 mins or so) 2 on the beach, the other one in the middle. I killed those 3, then killed Gromnit.
3. the tainted spawned almost instantly at the south side of the beach, and spawning a corrupted at a different location (on the beach at the mountain)
Please tell me if my theory is correct! :)

I've tried the tip of clearing only the south beach and leaving Quag up. Did this for hours, no luck. I've tried clearing every cyclops and keeping the island clear, no luck. Tainted is hibernating I guess. On day 3 now. Frustrating.

I just cleared the south beach west of the druid ring and left the Bard epic named mob up like the posts suggested below and he popped within about 20 minutes or so.

Clearing the SW tip of the isle leaving Quag up eventually worked for me, too. I had tried clearing the entire island and killing all cycs, but just clearing the one area with Quag up worked for me ~fairly~ quickly -- at least compared to the days/hours I spent earlier

Ok just did this with 80 Cleric. for 2 days pulled entire island and killed with VoV and Ward. No Tainted. Read posts here and decided to leave Quag Maelstrom up. There are two Cyclops which spawn faster than others on the Druid Ring side of the island. One is PH for Tainted and the other is PH for Corrupted.
Since these spawn faster than other mobs, the efficient way to do this is clear island and then kill them as soon as they respawn you will get about 2X the chanc eof tainted spawning as opposed to if you waited each time for the whole island to respawn.
After 2 whole island respawns while leaving Quag up, I killed Gomit. WIthin 10mins, tainted spawned at 1725, -3039. Killed him and Corrupted spawned at 1586,-2612.
Hope this helps.

that did not work for me.
62 druid box with 75 bard main. wiped the whole island four times, had the ancient cyclops pop twice (yay). i used highsun to find the spawnpoints of the two fast spawn seafuries, and sat at one of their spawnpoints for a few minutes after they died, but had the tainted pop one minute later about 100 metres from where i was. that point was 1577, -2605, next to a tree with a rock. so i think the tainted can spawn from any seafury.
just wipe out the whole island over and over, he'll spawn eventually.
EDIT: killed the tainted and cyclops did NOT SPAWN from his corpse. i was initially disappointed until i looked on tracking, and found the corrupted seafury at the top of the list! i tracked him down and highsunned him. his spawn point is.. 1872, -2800. dunno if this will help but it sure was weird.

I took my 80 cleric cause after 5 days at 6 to 8 hours a pop I could not kill enough to clear the island properly before the respawned. I guess its designed for a full group of 50s. I tried every godamn diffrent thing with Quag etc with my 55 druid.
TAKE A 80 LEVEL TOON AND MASSACRE THE WHOLE ISLAND
10 to 15 minutes later Tainted will spawn
DO it this way Kill everything I even kileld Gornt the pirates even the cute lil lesser spirt that spawns after yea kill some lil gnome capt.
At this day and age to have to "cheat " and use a 80 level toon is GD BS.
The goofy spawn drop rate need increaseing casue you are jsut not going to find peopel willing to camp these mobs with you on an alt. Unless they a good buddy.

oK SPENT 5 DAYS HERE SO FAR 6 TO 8 HOURS A DAY on one of these currupt mobs. Just spent over 14 hours this sunday its 230 am mon stared at 8am sun with like a 4 hour break after 8 hours. The idea that that tip is key is bs. Its only a clear area so you can contain the area where the tainted spawns nothing more. No special trigger area. They spawn off a Seafury Cyclosps. Any of them on that island. I have done it both ways many times cant get the mofo to spawnm either by mass killing island or selective killing on that ssw tip with quak up or recenly pop after a death. So screw it and screw thiswaste of a time epic sh*t. Its no wonder newer games use instances where mobs are gauraunted to be and impossible to ks/camp. This druid is 9.5 years old and is an alt I have epics on othe toons and I refuse I suppsoe to waste my life anymore on this crap.
Ok sorry its was like 2am when I typed thsi and I was pissed off.

Thanks to Soberdk i was able to get corrupted to pop ,just like he said,go to the south and east part of Seafury cyclops island(west of druid ring).Clear that area of all mobs(leave Quag alive if he is up) and keep clearing the new spawns and soon the tainted will pop then the corrupted.took me 3 days to figure this out.After i went back on the end of 3rd day i tried it like that and the corrupted popped inside of 20 or 30 min.

I've been here twice for a total of 6 hours, no Tainted yet. I follow the directions of the south clear, still no tainted. Cleared the whole island as well, no tainted.
After camping this island for 5 hours I finally used this advice and instead of clearing the entire island, I only cleared the south beach end... Less than 15 minutes later I got my spawn. Do know if it was coincidental or not, but it worked. =)

GamParse recorded 1110 cyclopses killed in OOT including 7 ancients, 22 Quags, the tainted, and corrupted. I spent about 32 hours here and it sucked to high hell.
If I counted right, there are 38 cyclopses scattered around the new island. For the most part, I gathered them in 3 or 4 swarms and killed each group within 2 or 3 minutes. Screw that.
There are two cyclopses on the south beach area that are on a faster spawn cycle than the rest. At least one of them is the placeholder for Quag. They both may be, but I never saw two Quags up at once, so, who knows. I do know that once I stopped with that round-the-island nonsense, the tainted spawned when I kept the south beach cleared and made sure to kill the fast spawners as soon as they popped. The new tactic worked within one clear.. so less than 15 minutes. Maybe I got lucky; your mileage may vary.

At first, I gathered all 38 seafuries (be they sea furies/Quag/Gornit/ancient cyclops) and ae'd them all. I kept the island clean for a whole day but the tainted never spawned. So I read some posts and decided to just keep the south beach clean and forget the rest of the island. When Quag spawned, I left him up. Within 45 min of keeping beach cleaned and killing the 2nd fast spawning mob (the other being Quag already up), the 2nd fast-spawning mob was a tainted.

The last few days a friend (69 BL) and I (69 druid) have killed 100's upon 100's of Seafuries to get the Tainted to spawn for my epic. No luck. Does anyone know why the tainted is so rare now as it never used to be before they updated the zone. It is all I need to complete my epic 1.0

Well Sony got around to changing the zone a bit so Temakura's post above is only half right now.
Now there are so many seafurys around that there are normally 8 on one side of the island, sometimes 15 to 18 on the other. Got the AC to pop a couple times but i cant do enough damage to keep the quantity low yet so I havent seen the tainted at all.
Wish me luck!

Ok, this caused me a ton of problems getting this for my Druid bot.
I killed over 1500 Seafuries with no spawn.
I used my 70 Bard to pull all of them and then melee/DS them down. I was able to kill all 8 before the first respawn. also got at least 20 Quag's and none had the seavines.
This morning I decided on a slightly different track, I killed all Seafuries till Quag spaned, then I ignored him and continued pulling the 7 Seafuries. After 5 clears of the 7 Seafuries the Tainted spawned.
Probably nothing but gives you another avenue to pursure.

Ran around this island for 3 hours killing then decided to log on my mage and sit in one spot and let my pet kill any that agrroed. With a spawn time of around a minute the corpses piled up and tainted spawned two hours later.
I'm sure you would have better chance to pop it by killing as many seafuries as possible but this camp gets old fast.

I started camping these mobs and went several days (12 to 13 hours) with no sign of them. I was pulling single mobs to the beach area and rotting them. There are 8 of them on the island and the spawn rate is ridiculous, it has to be near 1 to 2 minutes after one is killed, another spawns.
One night, very late, another druid (level 65) wandered out and began to quad them. I asked that he let me know if he saw the tainted or corrupted and he agreed. He was literally destroying them at a rapid pace. About 30 minutes after he began the tainted came up on track and he sent a tell that he was on it and invited me into his group. I tracked him down and when I arrived it was dropping dead. The corrupted spawned immediately and we both started dropping DoTs and nukes. Given that he was doing more damage it was summoning him, and doing very little damage. This made things alot less painful for me. It was down in a minute or minute and a half. Looted my piece and thanked him heartily.
I hung around and followed him while he continued to quad, and he kept the same aggessive pace. 20 minutes later a second tainted spawned, and again the corrupted right after. We again brought it down and it too had th drop.
After the time I spent camping this mob and killing many many seafuries, I never got the tainted to spawn on my own. One of two things may be the key here.
1) Some kind of tally is kept, and 100s and 100s of seafuries have to be killed to generate a tainted spawn. Just sheer quantity, or...
2) Keeping the full island spawn of 8 seafuries below 8 for a certain time peiod may pop the tainted.
Keep in mind I am just guessing and reporting what I experienced. A couple of notes:
-There are a max total of 8 seafuries up at any one time.
-Quag is a pain in the butt and has a mana drain spell that will drain your mana pool pretty quickly, though I resisted quite a few at level 53. He can be taken down by rooting, heavily dotting, then moving out of his range to med until dots drop. Repeat as necessary.
-When Quag is up there are only 7 seafuries up.
-When tainted or corrupted is up there are only 7 seafuries up.
-Quag might be in the PH rotation for the tainted/corrupted spawn.
I hope this helps

Does anyone have post-remake of OOT info about this spawn? I see comments about 8 seafuries, but I see over 30 of them since the revamp! Does this mean it will take almost 4 times as long to spawn the tainted and corrupt!?! Anyone have any hints for getting this spawn in less than four or five days?

Let me start off by saying that the wait (if your willing to) sucks. Here's some helpful information that I found.
Day1 10:00 am MST: Arrived on Seafury island. Fought seafury cyclops all day long until around 6pm MST when I decided he wasn't going to pop. Spent a few minutes figuring out how and where the Dragon Faydedar lives. Got invited to help with Beastlord Epic in Timorous Deep while looking for the dragon. Finished Beastlord images. Went back to Seafury Island in OOT. Found a druid who already had his 2.0 camping the spawn. Asked why? He said was doing it for a friend. Waited to see what would happen. Around 8:20pm MST the tainted spawned. I was like WTF??? SOB... why cant his friend do this himself... I want that mob. Then poof! I was like WTF??? Looked down to find my daughter had powered off my PC. I was so pissed.... took me a while to get logged back in. After I logged back in the druid was long gone and all I could track were the Seafury. Got up from PC and got kids ready for bed (wife helped). Then wife decided to join me on Island. I was like okay =). Logged in her Ranger and started helping me clear the island. We did that until about Midnight MST when she said she had to go to bed. I was like I'll be in there in a sec. 6am MST rolls around and i'm still killing on the island =0. I decided to go to bed. 7am MST wife asked when I went to bed. I said an hour ago. Let me sleep for a couple of hours (it was Sunday). 11am MST I wake up and decide to go after the little F*** again. Log in. Start clearing Island. 7pm MST rolls around and I eat dinner. When I am finished with dinner I go back to PC =~). 8pm MST rolls around and I get my freaking mob. Start to pull. Someone else tags it with a snare and it starts running off!!! I shout in OOC no!!! (not really looking at my tell window). But it was friendly wizzy just helping out which was good cause the guy is a pain in the arse to solo i soon found out. Killed mob and got item. Couldnt find a single thread on any website that would help me out with this mob... that is why i put up this one... may save someone some time.
1. No matter which sequence of mobs is up on the island you wont see the tainted Seafury. I tried them all when i got bored.
2. There are hella gems that drop on this island and can make a man 2k quick in a 4 hour period.
3. I would start checking for the Seafury around 7:30pm MST. I didnt get to check the am but he's either got to be on a 12 or 24 hour timer.
4. You actually have to be killing the Seafury in order for the tainted to spawn. The mob isnt like the statics on the island. There are always 8 cyclops up at one time no matter what never more and olny less if your killing. Dont expect him to just drop from the sky.
5. Please take the time to post a message on this forum. Include the time and server you were on when you killed him. Lets start getting some consistency down for these mobs.

Can someone get the count the next time the Cyclops is up... there are consistently 8 Cyclops on this island. I would like to know if the there is a 9th.. then we can rule out PH's.
Don't need to hear anything else here except about tainted/corrupted cyclops. Please and thank you.
Been camping this part for over 10 hours! TEN HOURS! No Tainted... no Corrupted. I've tried killing the goblins. I've tried killing the regular Cyclops that spawns on the other island. I've tried killing everything on the island (thanks to the help of a 70chanta who can kill'em fast). And I have NOT gotten DIDDLY on the tainted/corrupted.
With the huge GM war going on with the DE's, Trolls, etc, I have NOT been able to really start the epic (I petitioned more than a few times about not being able to get Faelin Bloodbriar to spawn so I can continue... but I guess I'm stuck at her, the 2nd NPC to talk to in the epic. Much suckage.) So I decided to round up what I can. I've been able to get the corrupted mammoth, brownie, seahorse, and others. Gotten a bunch of the other things as well. But i'm stuck on the darn cyclops!
Any tips? :-/

Myself lvl 52 and a full group of guildies camped this off and on for 3 days. At the end it was me and a lvl 60 SK who has a druid that had completed the epic. We decided it was bugged so we decide to go kill the brownie. Tainted was already up when we zoned in....got the corrupted. The SK said that maybe the tainted in OoT would pop now so we went back....got the tainted and corrupted within 10 minutes of being there. Killed 2 corrupted in a 30 minute tie frame. Maybe it was luck that the tainted in OoT poped so soon after or maybe trigered but it's a thought.

Ok was helping a guildy kill this bugger and it would not spawn at all. Went to other isle and kill normal Cyclops and within 2 min the tainted poped. Hope it helps.
I think I've camped this area a total of 6 hours now with no luck on the spawn. I have tried every "trick" suggested and I don't believe there is one. It seems to be totally random.
I'm totally annoyed with Sony.

well i was looking for some info on this mob... but all i see is a bunch of jerks flaming each other. i get real sick of seeing peeps flaming each other over nothing. so what if a druid charges you for a port, so what if a cleric asks for a donation for a rez, so what if a chanter asks for donation for kei. if you dont like it find another person! this is a game if you dont like the way sony/verent has made it dont play it. It serves no purpose to complain about it.

Spent the better part of 15 hrs now between my friend and i , and still no tainted. I've been very lucky on a couple of them - but of all the tainted spawns this one has been the worst by quite a margin. Prolly 1000pp in Gems tho, added bonus to prevent me from hanging myself irl.

Sitting camping tainted 'cuda and expecting another long camp like I had this morning at the seafury's (7hrs) Maybe I can save my brother and sister Druids some time (or it could just be a fluke) Anyway, used East shore of island to pull to (was mostly quad-kiting) as it seemed safe (and was :) Noticed on track from time to time a "Cyclops", though it wasn't on the island w/ the Seafurys. As I said, spent 7hrs there and so finally I decided to mix it up....The "Cyclops" appears on the island just to the east, so I lev'd over there and made quick work of him. Sure enough, after my next 4seafurys (which respawn almost immediately btw)The tainted appeared! Maybe coincidence, but after camping almost all the Mobs and even the quest npc in GF (5hrs for a turn in :P )I am starting to notice that the PH is not always the trigger, mearly a PH... could be wrong. Gl to you all and may Tunare bless your path!!!

Ok i was in OOT for xp and then the AC poped aand i was on the island so i got that camp instead but while doing random tracking i never, not once saw a tainted, however i did see multiple corrupted they were poping with out the tainted's. A few times i even saw 2 corruptes up at once. So eventualls this higher lvl showed up and there were camp problems earlyer but long story short i agreed to camp the AC for him inexchange for him killing the corrupted for me and im suprised that he agreed but ill be darned he soloed it. But all in all it was a great day. Just my 2cp. Well if off to load it up.
Sleep is a sugestion, just like speed limits.

Everybody trains everybody KS each other and every other possibly rude concept that you could ever imagine on Kane Bayle server. So to dis one class is wrong cause i have seen them ALL do it and have had them all do it to me.

Posted: Dec 27 2002 at 2:10 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'm the first to say I have a bias against Druids, simply because it seems the jerks in EQ seem to migrate to that class like housewives to soap-operas. Do other classes have jerks that play them? Absolutely. But from my experience with 3 characters over level 36, I would have to say that Druids account for at least 2 out of every 3 bad experiences I have in the game. Whether they are profiteering over giving SoW for a CR (or outright denying it), piggy-backing in a party without healing or buffing or pulling a bad quad kite & decimating a party as a result, I've found many of them to be shameless. Just last night I had a Dr00d named Myystical train me in Timorous Deep with Aviaks and had the audacity to laugh about it afterwards. There are exceptions to this, of course, and my heart goes out to these people, one of which is my wife, a level 42 Druid. However, as unfortunate as it may be, the good Druids are heavily outweighed by the bad Dr00ds. Basically, what I'm trying to say is as hard as it is to do, the best thing to do is judge each one as an individual, not assuming they are a Dr00d. Just don't give them enough rope intially to hang you with :O)
Ok everywhere existe bad and good people.., why do i hear sometimes if a "druid" did something bad then i hear DAMN DRUID and not DAMN "name" of this guy???
Some druid sux, YES /agree, but CHANTER DOESEN'T? when ask direct KEI for 50pp OPEN your trade windows for Invite !????,
Or when a CLERIC who is in the same zone as you and more thant near your camp, and u ask a rez, he ask u first HOW much will you donate for ? Doesn't that sux ??????
So, please stop critic all the time Druid and look at yourself first.
Who back heal CLERIC when they get aggro from CH ?? isn't druid the most part of time ?
For myself i ll tell u, i spend my free time when wait for our group, raid or anything, most time in felwithe or another newbie zone in buffing, helping etc..., i never get any coopper yet for a sow cause i think it's really like making busness and we are in a magic world, a game, NOT IN OUR BANK!
then, ususally i cant tell you HOW MUCH people "Donate" 3 or 4 pp per PORT ! TRUE, very far from 20 or 50pp. Only since i become 50+ and port people more often people 50+ they will donate more (it's only 3/10 time when i get something) even i have never asked a donation at this day.
And, believe that, a group really appreciate when :
You BUFF all group with your group buff,
PORT all for who's dont have Pop for exemple etc..
SOW you all, or spirit of scale of Wolf when ya need to make a quick run.
or EVACUATE You when all turn bad,
And BACK HEAL yes, cause CH Make often cleric aggro then, Ur tank are happy to have a back heal wich often can save him life.
Then, in many place we are usefull as TRACKER, go track a mob in a donjon without a druid or a ranger(also much critiqued).
And? can u FORAGE? No cause for your brewing and baking tradeskill you ll need thois simple little things sometimes as vegetables? Can u ? No, me i can, and then u have it and lvl u tradeskill.
Druid can also make a good control, ROOT, SNARE, fear animal charm they, they can blind them target etc.. etc.. etc.. You can root but can u snare to get time to run a bit for a chanter to "RECHARM" him "pet", or to Root ADD and run a bit from it etc... no, me i do it and sometimes it's save group.
Yes we do not have a SPECIALISATION, but all that is our job as yours is Keep us alive our is to help by many many ways, DS, BUFF, ROOT, SNARE, DOT, CHARM, FEAR, PORT, TRACK, EVAC...
So, yes i love to be a druid and yes i appreciate the others class/race in EQ, so please stop to be so restrictive in ur mind...
You, as a cleric, u can't go really far without a tank, a tank can't go really far withtout a cleric, but u both can't go really far withtout a slower in some place, and you all three can't go in some place cause u dont have Sower and Evacer... yes we all need each others. That's in EQ all people have a place and a role to play.
(Kat a bit mad...)
Well now, be well, safe hunt to u, me go to go Kill this SEAFURY for my epic.. cause u kill seafury for gems, me to make spawn one for my epic there is a difference...

As a 51 druid I have to agree with alot of your complaint, "most people that play druids are not very considerate in the way they pull" however you have to understand a few things about a druid that makes them a nice toon...
Although we don't have any 1 strong suite like cleric heals, or shammy buffs, necro's DoT's or wizzies Nukes. we get a blend, you say don't let the druid group he dosn't contribute....
Myself I prefer to solo for a few reasons, #1 we are not clerics and don't like sitting on our can while everone else dose the work,
#2 although our DoT's are too slow to make a noticeable differance in most group battles they are very nice combined with our damage dealing roots.
#3 We can Quad without help from others, like getting a sow, (generally once a druid starts quadding they get better xp then groups and don't have to listen to people who have never played a druid past 34 telling them how to play their charecter.
Now I'm not saying solo is the be all end all, I like grouping in a balanced group or a complimentary group (shammies and necro's make killer root and dot partners, any tank makes a good partner, for that matter if the druid know's what he is doing and the other player know's what they are doing any combo can work extreamly well)
Now as far as anyone complaining about druids quadding...I've had more problems with wizzies then druids on this, and if you invited then into the group instead of shunning them, then maybe you would find that thay can make an excilent puller...(DoT for attension, run to group, snair, root and then ds Tank, maybe refresh DoT on Mob, or go find another prime target)
No insult ment to clerics but one of the things druids hate about groups is being put in the role of a 2nd class healer, our healing spells like the shammy's (BTW LOVE their Buffs) are not upto par with the cleric, and in general do not like sitting on the back line playing back=up healer.
Primairy role though I hate to admit it is to snair mobs that will run, Damage Shield main tank (and regen or chlor, which clerics don't get) Heal when cleric is OOM, and most importantly in higher level zones EVAC.
Maybe I'm an exception, I've PL'd strangers for 5 or 10 levels becus I was boared (BTW Don't DS Tanks, you want their skills to max) I have spent numorus (bad spelling I know, 2 am) occasions where I have ran threw a zone tagging everyone I see with skin like nature and sow (mayby storm strength and chlor) and I DON'T except donations for it, it's only mana...
As for not answering tells for ports or sows ect ect ect, if you were hounded for symbol every 5 minutes for 3 levels you would get callouse to it too would you not? Except for the one's who farm =( most druids that are anon are that way so they can get something they are working on done without too many interuptions.
All in all befor you rip a class play it a while and see where they are comeing from...
26 war Crod, 26 cleric euphorian, 30 monk throwinya, 30 beastlord Galantry, 30 mage Zaapp, 30 enchanter Gemsmyth, 30 shammy Sveedd, 24 shadowknight sveedr, 51 druid Bdday...Tunare
...To truely know a group you must be the group...

I think I've come to the conclusion that tainted cyclops won't spawn unless quest is active. I camped tainted in oot for 5 hours yesterday. No tainted. This morning ported over to lfay to see if hailing/starting quest with pained unicorn would help. No pained unicorn. I scoured lfay with track, zilch.
But oh well, I'll just go camp it again. 9 hours later, no tainted seafury cyclops. So, I now have the opinion that the quest givers of these tainted mobs are tied somehow into their spawning. At least this one.

i would have to say you are wrong my friend, all tainted mobs are extreamly random along with their corrupt counter parts. ive killed 4 mobs and had the tainted spawn and then ive camped others for hours to get a tainted, and with the aqua goblins ive had like 5 tainted spawn but only one had the corrupt. so yes it is all very random, has nothing to do with the quest being active. only certain parts of the epic actually have an 'active' part, such as the dark elf corruptor where you have to do several hand ins to get the mobs to spawn.

ok ok everyone hates druids we get it ! stop taking up every forum on every discussion to talk about it. if u need to beat up druids go to a pvp server and kill them, but plz don't keep spamming all the message boards that really could be used to give real info on mob.

Been camping the island with all the seafury cyclops' the one near Cyclops isle, and Sister isle. I havent seen even one spawn. Is there a trick. Im on the island where Gornit spawns. Is this the same island where tainted spawns?
Anonymous
some druids might feel that this is broken or something, but it actually is working...a bit better now perhaps. there use to be a problem with these guys constantly popping too often. the tainted is now a rare spawn and takes a while to camp this guy for the druid epic. however, i know it still spawns because i killed it last night after about 2hrs of camping. (we were pulling trains to speed up the chance too.) good luck to the other druids doing the epic.

no trick that i know of, i do know that i was camping sirens when one walked out of the water and killed me, so your guess is as good as mine

Posted: Oct 27 2001 at 2:23 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Glad to see people have the same feeling with me (hate druids), I really hate them(especially woodelf male) although I'm not a mag. Needless to say how many bad things they have done to me & my friends (ks, training mobs to other ppl, anonying beggers, always blowing how strong they are, etc..etc & they even don't know how to heal & buff members in group).
I shouldnt be wasting my time flaming this topic, but I just want to say something..
Everquest is like rael life.. there's different people.. blacks, whites... different fashions, etc.. Some peopl you see whom appear nice, getnlemen can be very ignorant, rude, and such, however there's people who dress like fools, and hobos... but really are nice people.. In other words.. I've seen MANY enchanters who are very ignorant, and feel more important than everyone else, and they're right to have fun is top priority to anyone else, BECAUSE they are one of the most essential classes to higher lvl groups.. and they know it. However, there are also MANY enchanters that are very friendly and would walk without sow accross zones to give you a c2, if they were asked to.
Druid or not, people are behind those characters... druids are a fun class to play and because its a game.. attracts many n00bz because they want to have fun...
I was denied many groups because I was a druid by people who didnt know me.. and at high levels, groups look for classes they need rather than classes they dislike, and discriminate.
I've been denied groups, help, guild applications, even rezes of the cleric sittign right next to me with full mana and LFG on.. because I am a druid.
I port people all the time for about 90% of the time, free, not accepting donation, and like posted before here, dont even get thanked sometimes. I finaly got into an awesome pretty uber guild, that accepted people for who they are rather than for what class they play.
so now i am off to camp the clops some more, and I am sure I will be discriminated within the next 10 minutes of when i get on... if your a druid, at least mid-level.. you know what I am talkin' about.

Last time i checked EQ isnt like real life because it's a game...and the only way it is like real life is because it has people that need to get away from their crappy life however they can, even by saying it is their real life...and druids arent bad or good their just characters in a game and whoever thinks otherwise is a fruit

You missed a few in your tirade. I am not halfling, nor woodelf (nor human, which you skipped). I am half elf (which you also skipped) and I have never, EVER, camped a kill that could've helped another class unless I was grouped with a class who needed the drop. No, instead I do ports or buffs without getting thanked (that high level Monk with his epic on Fennin Ro who went from GD to Skyfire disbanded without EVEN SAYING THANK YOU upon arrival, you know who you are) and I continue to do it because why? I know that after the 80% of EQ players that are total jerks, there are still the 20% who are nice individuals. By helping everyone, including the arseholes (and you know who you are) I end up helping the good ones too.
So flame us Druids if you like. But be prepared to acknowledge that there is NO CLASS (or race) out there that you can say "100% of them are nice". Likewise, there is NO CLASS (or race) out there that you can say "100% of them are all jerks".
By the way, I've also never quad kited because I don't agree with that.

There are good and bad of any PC. It just happens that druids have the ability to do more, be it good or bad, than most other classes. This is a proof of the power of a druid, but not necessarily the intelligence of those running such a character.

A mob will summon if it has taken _any_ damage. Even if you haven't personally damaged it, but it has taken damage, and you do anything to get aggro like buff someone or heal, then you may be summoned.
Additionally, I have heard that a mob will start summoning at 97%, but I'm not sure about this.

Invis works against him.
At level 50 I went to try my luck at camping the ac, but wasn't sure where the spawn was exactly. I wandered around the island a bit and this was the only spawn I found so I tried to kill it since it conned blue. Almost killed it but he caught up with me in the end and killed me without much hp left at all (I don't think he runs when low on hp, but I could be wrong). I probably would have died anyway if I did kill him due to the level 52 corrupted that spawns immediately, but I wouldn't have lost so much exp from the death =(

This creature is the PlaceHolder for the Corrupted Seafury Cyclops. All of us druids would appreciate it if you would leave these two mobs alone. No class has any reason to kill them besides druids performing their epic quest. So save yourself the time and trouble, as well as any druids in the area.

As far as people saying "oh be nice and let a druid loot it, its for his epic". Well GET LOST!!! I kill it and destroy the loot just to piss off druids. I cant even begin to remember how many times I had to compete with a druid for the peggy cloak in SK. You NEVER hear anyone say "oh be nice and let a mage loot it", but instead you hear /auction Chaining peggy cloak for 20k (hehe) from a druid. Last month a bunch of us got togehter and took down Faydedar in TD. Most of us were guildys but a couple just came along for the fun. Well the "pod of seawater" dropped and gee we had no druids with us. So there were a few druids in the zone that knew we were taking him down and they all asked if they could loot it. Ofcourse me being a druid hater ), I told them sure ( for 40k ) and they all complained "its for our epic it does you no good". None wanted to pay for it so the it got looted then DESTROYED and boy did that piss them off. So for all you druids out there trying to make money off the mage epic with the peggy cloak, think twice about it and maybe if you do kill pegasus then let a mage loot it and maybe that mage will return the favor when the time comes for you epic. I finally got my epic after about 3 months of killing in SK for the cloak and I dont feel bad at all about destroying that piece or any other piece for druid epic if I have the chance to piss of a druid. After playing this game for about a yeah and a half, I see now that Verant made the druid class just to be farmers and attempted KS'ers. Well a mage with his epic is VERY hard to KS from, considering its the best epic in the game. Have a nice day )

Have you noticed. That poster didn't have the guts to post their name so everyone would know who they are. I think it is just a sad Druid that hasn't been able to get anything.

Hmmmm wonder how a 2 year old can play this game. Hope your epic goes well.
SOOO, you've never had a druid port you for free or Sow you when you needed one? I'm sure if you had though that was an exception as all of us druids are mean and nasty. I suppose its much easier to judge a group of people by the actions of a few, and we all know how well that does the world.

You know...
I am trying to understand your bitterness and spiteful behavior. Certainly this is not the way to change the way you are being treated by druids, but if this makes you feel better and enjoy the game more (knowing that you could help another person sitting behing a computer somewhere, but just said, nahhhh...) thats what it's about. In so doing, however, you just have taken the same stature that you so despise in the druids you've seen. I hope you get everything you deserve.

These things are VERY good EXP. Thats like saying Dont kill Crusaders in Cazic because you are not SK. Tis very foolish.

its not foolish at all. the only thing u'll gain by killing this is death or a piece of loot that u can't even use. let the druids have it. its a rare enough spawn as it is, and since we need a group to kill the corrupted... well its even less fun camping a rare spawn in a group out in the middle of nowhere. and the other 8 rare spawns that we needa kill for this half of our epic don't exactly help out.

First of all tainted dropes nothing at all, NOTHING. So you would not be getting anything at all except very good exp. Second by killing tainted hes doing you a favour because that spawns the corrupted who dropes your epic piece. Third they are not that 'rare' Ive been hunting sea furies for a while, and most of the time there is either a corrupted or tainted up.
Have to agree. Almost every time I go to OOT the Tainted or Croupted is up.

If a Corrupted Seafury spawns immediatly on his body then how do u loot it?
Anonymous
you either loot the first corpse real quick and hightail it out of there, or you kill the corrupted one too
if you don't want to kill the corrupted one, snare it, have someone kite it away, loot, then everyone gate...

a mob will only "summon" you if you do damage to it. snaring the mob will aggro it, without it summoning you.

A snare will get you summoned very fast, I have snared mobs that were under 50% hp and been summoned without having done any dmg, snare is a HUGE aggro

Ok, i didn't explain it very well. The mob will summon you if damage has been done to it, and you get on to the hate list by aggroing it. So snaring a mob at 50% HP will get you summoned, pulling with snare will not.
You don't have to do anything to be summoned. I've been summoned and killed just for being too near while someone else killed it.

lol incase you are not smart enough to wipe your ass!!! notice in the post he IF YOU DON"T DO DAMAGE!!!!! means that if the mob has no damage they WILL NOT summon you!! i hope this helps the people that don't understand what they are reading =P

If this is anything like the tainted HG, it has no loot, and the corrupted spawns as soon as this dies. If you are a non-druid and kill this, at least make a druid's day and let him/her loot the drop from the corrupted.
