Eldrig the Elusive...
# Jul 08 2002 at 9:13 AM Rating: Decent
Wow,

This guy doesn't show his face very often, does he? I've been hanging around Skyfire for months, and have yet to see the beast show his face. But a Brynn is patient, and one day he will be mine...
Eldrig"s PH
# Jul 04 2002 at 1:35 AM Rating: Decent
Is there one PH for this mob or is it random PH. If one PH please what ?
RE: Eldrig
# Jul 11 2002 at 9:41 PM Rating: Decent
From what I have seen it's any named mob. Sometimes when I go soloing in SF I will only kill the named mobs. In about 6hours of soloing only named mobs I will usually see him about once. Felia Goldenwing for Enchanter epic will spawn for me about 1-3 times.
hehe of course when this guy spawns in place of a named I either go somewhere else or a different part of the zone, having him as an add for a soloing druid means a quick summoned death!
He summons

This guy summons, I found out the hard way :(
RE: He summons
# Jun 20 2002 at 10:27 PM Rating: Decent
hehe I just out the hard way as well. Snared,rooted and dotted him no prob. The BAM I get "You have been summoned" and he meleeing me like crazy (lvl 54 druid here), as soon as I would take a step out of his melee range, he would summon me. A well balanced group or fear kiting a must for this guy.

Well... after our killed took down that named mob for the Cleric epic in BW.... the other bard in our guild said that the Epic mob was up for bards the next zone over... We went over... he feared and the Druid snared.. 3 groups melee'd him to death in no time at all.. between a total of 3 bards that were there.. myself being 36 at the time, I rolled... a 36 bard with a piece of his epic already.. pretty sweet if you ask me.. =)

58 necro (me) and a friend 54 necro took this guy the other night... pretty easy mob no resists on fear or snare.. however he does summon and dispell so thats why its safe to have at least 2 classes that can cast fear...

Could probably solo her as fear lasted full duratio and she moves slow enuf to kill before she aggroes any other mobs around her

There is a really good walkthrough for the entire Bard quest on eqdiva. The section on Eldrig is great, with spawn point locations indicated and how to make him spawn.

I have yet to take on Eldrig, but their guide to Nez in BW was right on the money, spawn location and everything.

Any Advice???
# Jan 14 2002 at 8:52 AM Rating: Default
I am planning to soon take this dragon. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on classes, numbers needed, levels, and battle plan.
RE: Any Advice???
# Jan 21 2002 at 3:31 AM Rating: Default
Ok here is my take.

I was there with 2 friends (55 Druid - 56 Druid - 56 Wiz). This Guy Summons - very often so be careful. He also Dispels, and nukes. His nukes were not extreme - ranged from 200 to 300 hp nukes. He moves quite slow and snare landed on first try, but with his constant summoning it makes no diference IMHO. Root stuck well also, but once again... the darn summoning. Well IMHO opinion again, a balanced group - with a tank and cleric should have no real problems with this guy at around levels 55 and probably lower also, since we were quite inexperienced with this zone and didnt even expect him to be a summoning mob. His mellee was around 140 (if i remember this correctly). Unfortunately due to the constant summoning I had to look for a cleric later so I cant talk about his loot really.

Good Luck with him, I hope this info helped a bit.
RE: Any Advice???

I'm going after this mob very soon and from the info I read up on this discussion and other boards pulling him should be done in the same way as with Gorenaire. Stick a non-damage spell/song on him and he wont (from the info I have) summon you. Toss a charm on him as a bard (95% sure he'll resist, but if not then hey, Just take his hand and lead him) then drag him back. I'm going after him with single group, 55+ tanks, 55 cleric, chanter/shm (whichever I can get to help) and myself 52 bard. Hoping a slow will stick on his butt (75% slow does help). Should take down his melee considerably. Hoping he'll go down with the force I plan on taking with.

Vanishing from Tracking
# Jan 13 2002 at 9:28 AM Rating: Good
Finally got Eldrig the Old today, but a very strange thing happened. He vanished from tracking for about 25 minutes or more. This wasn't just my tracking, but the tracking of a druid amd ranger. We had pretty much given up, assuming he despawned or was killed when he suddenly reappeared on tracking. Current theory is he can invis. Anyone know anyhting about this?

I guess he could have gated. Never heard of him going invis.

Oops! Need to update MY info!
# Nov 24 2001 at 4:45 AM Rating: Default
Just noticed how old my info is. Didn't want you to think a lowly level 36 Bard was daring to attempt Eldrig. =)
Eldrig was a no-show tonight
# Nov 24 2001 at 4:37 AM Rating: Decent
Is it possible that the placeholder is the Guardian of Felia? That mob managed to kill me tonight, after we had given up looking for Eldrig and had headed toward the VP zone to kill Guardians. If he is the PH then, that would explain why Eldrig never spawned, Well, we will be trying again, soon, so I will post when I know more.

Oh, btw - it definately drops the Chromatic Guts needed for page 25 of the Bard epic - that is why we were trying to find him.
Pathing, Spawning, how to kill
# Nov 15 2001 at 12:37 AM Rating: Excellent
First thing get a map of skyfire.

Cut the map into quadrants.

Each quadrant has its own rare cycle.

Eldig the Old is the most Rare spawn.

In order to get him to spawn you must keep killing rares in any of the four rare cycles. In theory this means four eldigs can be up at once.

It is possible to solo him if you are a bard. Keep fear on him and, well, basically get ready to try to melee him for about 30 minutes.

He is a buffed Chromo. He will dispel like mad and dot like mad. If you get a BB on you let fear go and try to get him to dispel it if you dont have any pumice.

I have put 4 days into camping him so far. Around eight hours everyday. Havent seen him once but I still hear from people how they see him everyday.

Bard Epic is a *****.

I shoulda killed him when I saw him up.

Pull him to BW zone if you want an addless fight, basically pull him where you would talendor.
solo..
# Oct 23 2001 at 12:27 AM Rating: Default
Ive been told not to solo this mob, cause it is likely to summon everytime. Ive tried a few times.. and of course I was summoned and killed. I would suggest having a partner to share aggro with. If you do decide to solo.. be a necro =) and keep fear pastered on em. gl

My group just killed him was real easy we had 52 SK, 52 Necro, 52 War, 51 Cleric, 48 Druid, and a 44 Pally. Druid snared, necro feared. summoned the necro once but other than that it went quite smoothly.
Note: spawned for us near the OT zone

P.S. conned even to the 51 cleric

Killing Edrig
# Sep 22 2001 at 5:59 PM Rating: Excellent
I (52 bard) took this guy down a few days ago.. first I tried him with a 52 druid 52 warrior and 53 wizard, but he ended up killing us all when he was at 25% HP (wizard was chain IC'ing him for whatever reason and kept getting summoned, and my fear wouldn't stick for more than 1-2 seconds at a time). Anyway, after we got our rez, we sent out the call over guildchat, and within 20 mins or so had two full groups in skyfire, after which he went down very easily. We didnt even bother fearkiting him... went down fairly fast although he was harder than Nezekezena, who was also lvl 51 when we killed her.

Some general info on Edrig: he's lvl 51, summons, is immune to fire like all chromos, casts the same DoT chromos do, casts the same dispel they do (except his is an AoE dispel), hits for 150ish max. Pulling him can be annoying because he wanders through that field of dragon bones in skyfire that's always full of mobs... was even harder this time because there was a red at 52 mob named 'ancient wyvern' on almost the same pathing he was.

Very happy I didn't have to camp this guy, and am now the proud owner of page 25 of my symphony.

All the chromo's dispel ability is AOE as well, nasty things they are.

Fear only lasted 1-2 seconds? I'm curious what your Charisma is at.
RE: Killing Edrig
# Apr 22 2002 at 1:31 PM Rating: Decent
Is fear charisma-based? I know that charm length and success is based on charisma, but I am pretty sure that fear is based on the brass singing skill alone. Anyone have any concrete evidence one way or the other?
RE: Killing Edrig
# Aug 14 2002 at 7:29 PM Rating: Default
Fear is magic-based. There are no stats that affect fear duration but mob resists and none that affect stiction but caster level.
Immortals
# Aug 04 2001 at 7:31 AM Rating: Decent
Ok, I was helping a Bard guildmate of mine. guts ARE part of the bard Epic, from what I hear.

But he dropped Guts and a book, Immortals.
I looted it knowing there would be something interesing to read and it IS heheeh but, is it for something??

Immortals is no drop and I think lore with no stats.

I'm curious what it is for!

Eldrig the Old is a named drake. He is a rare spawn and drops Chromodrac guts which are used in the bard epic quest.
RE: info please
# Mar 19 2001 at 5:49 PM Rating: Default
This mob looks like a chromadrac now. Very easy to pull. Probably level 51 max. Group of 4 people from level 52 to 56 were able to take him down easily. Note: This mob will strip all your buffs by the end of the fight. It also procs heat blood on everyone it hits, but that usually is stripped off when it AE debuffs again.

It seems to pace back and forth near the Burningwoods zone passage. I suspect that the other named Chromadrac might be the placeholder, name something like Felia Goldenwing.

It dropped the Chromadrac guts, as someone else mentioned.
