Zordakalicus Ragefire  

Level 90 SK, Westa Terrabelle of the guild Daybringers on the Xegony server soloed this mob tonight for my completed epic. Thank you Westa!!! yeahyeahyeah---not a big deal with today's equipment/levels/AA's/stuff---but it was big for me. :D

Easily duoed by a 65 ranger / 65 cleric combo in midrange bazaar gear. Both toons had about 200 fire resist and every single fire AE bounced off both of them. Ranger got feared twice, no big deal. Fight took about three minutes, straight melee with ranger tanking. Max hit was 315 (no defensive AAs yet). Probably would've taken much less time if the cleric tanked and the ranger trueshotted him. Dropped greaves and two helms, plus the heart of course.

Load up on all the junk buffs you can if you're doing this with minimal manpower. I think I had six on my toons, all of which were gone and then some by the end of the fight.

Agree with others, the Overking was much tougher, not only to kill outright but to pull by himself. Ragefire isn't a gimme, but if you take care of the Overking -- or get an MQ of the scroll -- you're over the hump.

It may not sound like a big deal to get a cleric 1.0 done at this stage of EQ's life, but it was a longtime goal of mine. :)

done this with the help of a 75 dru he soloed everthing. the only help we got is when we need a rog to unlock the door to Chardok. we was omw back and a other cleric 1.0 was going back to we just followed and after they killed we just keep the room cleared and bout hour 1/2 or 2 hour's we killed him np . them druids are nice class to be . didnt see him run away from one mob. I didnt know druids could tank that good .. lol must be nice

I had a 71 Mage solo him for me. Tho I did heal his pet a couple time's. He was failrly well geared with his 1.5 as well. Didn't take long to kill.

Dropped:
Blazing Breastplate
Cloak of Flame's
Impure Heart (of course)

Loc (3000, -3200) for Warder Cecilia.

She'll spawn Zordak's human form after you hand her the Assembled Pearlescent Shard. When the human form dies, Zordakilicus (dragon form) will spawn.

62 war, 57 cleric, 70 druid, 70 necro, 70 chanter. Never summoned me and yes, a belly caster he is. My game went bonkers for the fight and I never saw my attacks and showed him at 100 percent, till he turned to run and keeled over.

This guy drops the final piece for the Cleric 1.0 Epic. He's a Kunark-aged MOB, so not difficult by today's standards.

Summons.
Two AoE's: DD&Dispell and fear.
Melees at a bit over 300 per hit.
Belly caster. (If memory serves)

Keep in mind he was meant to be a challenge when the game was much more alive, equipment was much less powerful, maximum level was 60, and there were no such thing as AA's. This isn't just important for history.. helps you understand now.
His melee is alright, but not great since they didn't want him killing tanks instantly. His AoE's are main source of his influence and damage, allowing the fight to be something everyone is involved with, and not just something most people watched. He summons, since he was never meant to be solo'd. He's a belly caster, if I remember correctly. Since the spells are meant to allow for usage of then-high-end resistances, they're relatively easy to resist today.

To beat this guy, you'll need resistances for all those present. Junk buff if you're a bit short on them. (Just get GoDruzzil and PoSeasons in PoKnowledge, from Druids and Chanters respectively. Bards are great if in party) Someone will have to be able to tank him. This isn't a hard job.. just, you'll need a healer if DPS isn't high or the tank isn't an elite-type tank. Finally, you'll need some DPS. He doesn't seem to have too much HP.
He is soloable. Just make sure you meet the three requirements: resistances, melee tanking, DPS. He will summon you, so if you're a caster, I'd bring along a tank friend. If you're not 70 with a good number of AA's and some decent gear, I'd consider a smaller group.

A poster below said a group of about 20 55's would've been able to do it.

(This post has been mostly a summation of lower posts and personal experience. His melee DPS, his ability to summon, and the ability of classes to solo him are all barrowed; the idea of this post was to save scrolling.)

When i was just starting my epic i thought this was gonna be the toughest mob....

...It turns out hes a pushover, Chardok King was tougher than this dude. A level 70 ROUGE Soloed this idiot, along with a level 55 Necro and level 59 shaman and me...

...all he managed to do spell wise was fear me once, other than that we Pwnd him

Just soloed him for my Cleric alt.

Dead in less then 30 seconds (Level 70 SK)

How much this Kunark trash hit for? Could a 70 Bard 8k buffed duo him with a 59 cleric?

I did this maybe 3-4 days ago with a single group of 65+. I don't remember the exact levels of all but there was a 65 cleric, 68 druid, 66 ranger(me), a monk, beastlord, and shammy. Even with that group it was complete overkill. He dropped in about a minute, his AE never hit me, and I think the monk got healed once, maybe twice (he was tanking). With the new levels, gear, and AA's, these old world "raid encounters" are easier than trash mobs in the new XP zones. The cleric was in a panic the whole way there, hoping we had enough.

Just an FYI, Zordakalicius Ragefire no longer drops "Red Dragon" loot. That is to say, he will no longer drop the Treasure Hunter's Satchel, Red Dragon Scales, or the Cloak of Flames.

He *does* drop the Blazing Armor of Fennin Ro.

As he no longer drops Red Dragon Scales, he is no longer a target in the Singing Short Sword (Bard Epic I) quest.

Hope this helps.

Ok did Rage today. Had 1 group all 65. SK, Shm, 2 Cle, Dru, Ench. Everything was going fine we dropped human form fast had Dragon form to about 35% then we got an add. Cromo dropped me as all my buffs were about gone. I dropped other cleric got feared and add got her. Dru, and shm had no mana so they couldn't heal. We wiped. Then a 65 Pally got on and triied to drop Rage till we got there we got there and could get to him to heal b4 he dropped. What we did wrong was we kept going back seperatly. If you wipe you need to get grouped in a force again.

My advise don't be a hero go with at least 2 60+ groups or more if you are lower and take a bard with you.

/sigh back to shard farming for me..........

we killed him with 4 people , only arms/bp and cleric epic peice droped

21 Level 55's took him on.

No problems. Only 2 deaths and those were guests who are not in our guild.

Fight took about 1 minute.

I'd say we could of done it with 16-18 at that level.

Have bards play FR/MR songs and you should have little problems downing this guy.

Ragefire is probally the biggest whimp I have come across in a while. We did him with 1 group +1 (the +1 dropped immediately though) with 65pally, 65 rogue, 65 druid, 64cleric, 60chanter, 60druid. Was too easy of a kill. His dispells were a Pain, and the rogue and cleric got feared twice. But only had to CH the pally once and one heal over time. Noone got below 75m. I miss the days when u needed 30 peeps to take him out. Ohh well, just some fyi for all you clerics in need..!

he is always fun. main group was 65 tank,64 rogue, myself, 64 drood, 65 shaman and 62 necro.
another group of friends came along too, just for the fun of it. he went down in about 2 minutes or so. he does dispell and fear (i resisted all fears but 1 hehe) only buffs that lasted thru the whole fight were 65 shammy buffs and 65 group virtue spell. all others gone in about 30 seconds. no deaths in my group and only had to CH MT one time between human rage and dragon one.
i remember the days when u had to camp this guy for a week and he took a whole darn raid to kill. hehe

Did Ragefire tonight. He wasn't that hard. Had 9 of us. 2 Clerics, SK, Enchanter, Shammy, Necro, and 2 Wiz. Average level was 63. We were all completely debuffed within seconds even though we dummy buffed, so buffing shouldn't be a high priority for this fight. I had 180 MR and 150 FR and got feared once and resisted just about everything else. Was pretty much overkill. Human Ragefire went down in 15-20 seconds, and dragon Ragefire went down in about a minute and a half. He dropped gloves, arms, helm, and a couple gems. Human corpse only had the plasmatic robe and a fine steel staff.

OK infor on this that I was not able to find, primarily the info on the human form.

Spawned Zordak in Skyfire is a wuss. MAJORLY! We had a 65 pally MT for the dragon, and he SOLOED the human form, and to show off, even healed himself during the fight. Never dropped below about 70% life, and only had to heal 2 or 3 times (little pally heals).

Dragon version was not tough. We had overkill, 26 people, average level 57 or so, several lvl 65s in the raid. With junk buffs and MR/FR up, had no deaths, and almost everyone resisted every fear (except the 48 warrior, which I suspect was due to his level). We used no CH chain, the cleric in the MT group had no problem solo healing the tank. For my group, I cast two celestial elixers, and a word of restoration (group 750hp heal). That was it. everyone ended the fight stainding, and most had 80% or better HP. Note, most of these people do not have resist gear, and several had MR/FR under 100, even with buffs.

He dropped the heart, 3 pieces of the flaming armor (boots, BP, vambraces) and a ruby. Human form dropped the plasmatic priest robe.

Oh, we pulled Rage to the north zonewall, to help avoid adds, and cleared any mobs that were within sight before spawning him. This was honestly one of the EASIER parts of the epic.

A friend of a friend of a friend needed a quest item for her cleric epic so I gave a lending hand last night.

It was a piece of cake with about 20 ( heh ) lvl 50-60 chars, we only had about 4 tanks.

Some advice....when you get there turn off your SOW and your run because this mob fears a lot. If you are only crawling around then its not a big deal but with Sow on you could be half way across the zone.

I was happy I won my first drop last night and got the bracers and the cler. got her epic. All and all it only took about an hour from buffing to finishing.

Does not drop the cloak of flames anymore as of the zone re-vamps by SOE, just my 2cp.

Killed him last night on Druzzil with 21 people. 63 SK as MT, 2 clerics (59 and 63) and 1 enchanter (64, me) and a handful of other backup classes. Avg. Level on raid was 60. He dropped in less than a minute. I resisted all fears and DD with 150 MR and 185FR

Just did Zord with 18 pop-hardened people, avg lvl raid was 62... He lasted about 20 seconds.
I hit Trueshot, and did 13,000 damage.
The cleric had looted and camp-saved before Trueshot even wore off.

So sad.
