Verbally describing how to get there, and my apologies for confusion I cause...
* enter the castle visible from the zone in and go all the way back across the 2nd moat to the wall behind it
* enter the left (north) room and go up the curving staircase in this room
* once up top go north a bit until you hit the edge of the castle ramparts
* then turn right (east) and go all the way down
* the path will become a hallway with a roof and then force you to turn right (south)
* you'll quickly hit a T intersection, turn left (east)
* then following the hall you'll very quickly be forced right (south) again
* stop there...
... Now, on your right is a hallway of doors. They are a sort of guard barracks -- one drolvarg per room. Past them are stairs that descend to the door of the Drolvarg Warrior room.

I stole this from a previous post but figured it would help... It helped me a ton!

Thank you Hardryv

Saw 3 of these spawn in the same round yesterday (while camping the accursed drolvarg pawbuster for the monk epic). All 3 of them dropped the supple scale armband, none of them dropped the head, that time.

If you're camping this mob then be warned that he is fabled right now. That was a bit of a surprise for my 66 mage lol.

Fortunately he's not very hard. I was camping him with my mage for my bard's epic, and he popped as a fabled version. I was on another screen with my bard so I just hit pet attack before I noticed that he was red. As soon as I realized, I took my mage's cleric merc out of passive and put her in reactive, then I started trying to burn him down with the mage.

I almost took him, but the cleric was about to go oom when the warlord was at 20%, so I gated.

I ran back with the 66 bard and his tank merc and took him no problem. Max hit on the tank merc was 1162. Max hit on the bard on the pull was 1050ish.

I didn't parse his hp, but the mage's 3-4k nukes were only moving his health 2% or so. I would guess he's not more than 150k-200k (if that).

Edit: The fabled version DID drop the skull for the bard epic. He also dropped the fabled supple scale armband (or whatever its name is...something like that). The stats on it were not as good as elaborate defiant gear, but it did have burning affliction 5.

yep he summons.

LB to a lvl 65, easily taken down as a monk.

The trick to clearing this room solo is to leave a few minutes between each kill when you first get there so they spawn one at a time.

Easy peasy.

Now if I could just get the pawduster to spawn and drop my pipe i'd be happy =P

Every time Iäve killed him so far today, he's dropped the Supple Scale armband....if he was light blue to lvl 70. One of the light blue ones dropped Donal's boots. (out of 4 LB so far)

One DB Warlord popped, had Noct blabe and WW skull. If I notice anyhting different before I finish today I'll post/edit. If the WW head only drops from the DB one, then you can track from ZI with a lvl 70 friend (or yourself) to see if the epic piece dropper is up.

Hopefully it will be some kind of pattern ;)

Negative on the DB warlord pattern. Two LB Warlords after I posted and skull dropped.. so no luck on a pattern, but I got 8 Warlords in about 3.5 hours 3 at once.

Ok errbody this is how this camp goes. I used the thread actually listed below to get here.** Straight back past second moat, into LC (left courtyard) then up the curved stairs take a right all the way down the t junction.....trust me find a hall way after that with (looks like barracks) keep going and down the stairs to the left and BAM theres the warlord room. Im camping this guy as i type this so.. killed him THIRTEEEN SPAWNS ALREADY. 1 warlord MAX a pop so far. got two skulls.. besides the SSA every time its the second most common drop..... BLECK....


Kk so Spawn timer is EXACTLY 26 minutes and 30 seconds......trust me been here about 8 hours already so i got this down pat son =P.

Havent seen ANY other loot other than the fact of the skull for bard epic and the ssa.

PAWBUSTER has spawned once and dropped the pipe looting it for friends monk epic MQ.

I myself currently boxing a 70 beast and a 70 cleric at this camp have no trouble whatsoever the only part thats boring is waiting for the damn repops.

Goodluck im outie 5000

camped him for my bard today I am a lvl 70 wiz.I am only dubious to the mobs so just soloing in the room is no prob.killed warlord 3 times so far and no skull.
easy
# Oct 29 2004 at 7:12 PM Rating: Decent
just to add my experience of today:

Hardryv Guru described well how to find him.
When i came there, he was up twice. easy to single pull him by lulling the others in the room.

i didnt bother pulling to zone, just killed him on the steps just outside the room. no adds.

at 20% health he turned to run. didnt have snare up, so i mezzed, then memmed snare.

first kill dropped my skull, so i left the other copy of him for the next bard to kill.
What Up?!?
# Sep 18 2004 at 2:59 AM Rating: Decent
Not to doubt all previous postings, but experience as of Sept 18/2k4 (post OoW) is as follows:
6 rounds of spawns, 2 warlords seen out of the 24 mobs total, 2 ssa's drop'd period. He's more of a rare spawn than I'd have liked. When he did spawn, it was only ever in the spot in the alcove furthest from the door to his room. Justa few words of discouragement to any bards, like myself, who are trying to finish epic 1.0 for updating to 2.0...

None of the other directions listed led me to the infamous Drolvarg Warrior room. Maybe I just can't read :P. Fortunately I had access to track at the time.

The /loc of the center of the Drolvarg Warlord room is [+70, -610, +20]... the third coordinate being significant because this room is not on top or bottom of the castle, but about 2/3 the way up it -- and you can only access it from up top.

The path to it is riddled with see invis mobs, so expect to fight to it.

Verbally describing how to get there, and my apologies for confusion I cause...
* enter the castle visible from the zone in and go all the way back across the 2nd moat to the wall behind it
* enter the left (north) room and go up the curving stiarcase in this room
* once up top go north a bit until you hit the edge of the castle ramparts
* then turn right (east) and go all the way down
* the path will become a hallway with a roof and then force you to turn right (south)
* you'll quickly hit a T intersection, turn left (east)
* then following the hall you'll very quickly be forced right (south) again
* stop there...
... Now, on your right is a hallway of doors. They are a sort of guard barracks -- one drolvarg per room. Past them are stairs that descend to the door of the Drolvarg Warrior room.



Here is other helpful info bundled up for you in one place...

There are four PH's in the room... and each on will be "A drolvarg bodyguard", "A Drolvarg warlord", or very rarely I saw "a drolvarg pawbuster" there. Even at level 65 pulling one means all four PHs will come, and if your toon is stout this is not a problem.

The warlords have many more hp than the bodyguards, and summon. Each time I killed a Drolvarg Warlord there was a Supple Scale Armband drop, and judging by other posts it's either a common drop or guaranteed to be there each kill. Sadly, it was usually his only drop.

The repop for the room is around 20 minutes. Good luck in your farming efforts.

Dropped the bracer with Extended Range 3 (NO DROP) and teh epic skull =D

Warlord Info
# Aug 01 2004 at 5:51 PM Rating: Decent
Camped this guy hoping for the sword to drop for my SK alt with no luck. Thought I would share my knowledge on this spawn. I am a 65 Beastlord.

Four Drovargs spawn in this room, 2 on the north wall and 2 along the west wall in a recessed alcove, to your left among entering through door. Either Guardians or Warlords can spawn in any spot. Each cycle takes about 30 minutes and spawned anywhere from 1-3 Warlords at a time during the time I was here. (No Warlords can be up during any given spawn also) I stayed for 5 cycles and killed 8 Warlords. They dropped the armband 7 times, the Bard epic 4 times and the Boots once.

The Guardians, which could be LB or DB had anywhere from about 7000-8500 hps. The Warlords had about 9000 hps, give or take 500. The Warlords do summon but once slowed these mobs are cake. I had no trouble breaking spawn and holding room. No roamers enter area. I did not have any resists either on anything I cast. I fought inside the room the entire time. I have a good amount of defensive AA's and I don't think I got hit for more than 135 or so on the rare occasion they connected. Sorry I don't have more info on their damage output.

Hope this helps

got this guy to spawn 3 times in 2 clearings of the room... zoned in and killed 1, on re-pops we got 2. All 3 times a skull dropped, which was luck, as when i camped it for my epic it took many kills.
It see's invis, and summons, is charmable by a 65 bard, etc.
dropped armband and skull every time.[quote][/quote]

Was camping this guy with a Guild Group last night for the Bard Epic Piece...

After Five kills, the Warlord Dropped the Supple Scale Armband every time....and none of the other items on his drop table.

Looks like we'll be headed back tonight.

For all the people that are tired of hearing how people gave it in the romp to the drolvarg warlord with their mid lvl 50s groups or solo capabilities, here is some beneficial info.

Drolvarg warlord has approx 5k 6k Hp, and hits max for 149.
Drolvarg Guardians have max 4 or 5k hp and hit a max for 139. Drolvarg warlord can spawn in a single cycle more than once. For the record, i killed him from start to finish at the camp, 3 times in 35 minutes, so whoever says he cant spawn more than once, has an object in their bootox. and for any of the bards, such as my alt, who wants to know how rare the skull is....Flip a coin when the warlord is up, and thats pretty much your chances. Out of the 3 times he spawned, only dropped the skull once. Dropped the harmonic dagger with the skull as well.

The only thing difficult with this camp, like most other camps, is breaking it.

This "used" to be a mid 40's camp for pickup groups. Once you were done in dreadlands, you moved inside KC. KC has LC, RC, LCY, RCY, DT, ST, Basement, and Warlord camps (VS room used to be a camp as well).

Don't know why people still camp this for xp. LDoN is better XP and loot, LoY, Velious, and Luclin have better XP and loot as well. Only real purpose for karnors anymore is to camp VP key and to camp bard epic piece, and only need to kill warlord a couple of times for epic piece.

Before you go off doubting why people do what they do, perhaps you should get your own facts all in order.

First off, this "used" to be an experience camp for mid 50's characters. Karnor's Castle is Kunark, the 1st expansion onto the original game. It did not become a 40's camp until LONG after it's release (far into Velious when people started getting better gear).

You also forgot to mention that monk epic runs through KC as well, this exact room specifically with Pawbuster.

Not everyone in the game has all the expansions. I have run across several people that only have 1 or 2 expansions. I have even come across some that only have the original game that got it when it came out and never purchased any of the expansions. So if they do not have the options of LDoN etc, they go where they can. Also, although I will agree, KC exp isn't very good and the loot isn't very good, it is generally abandoned nowadays and makes for a very relaxing place to PL, duo etc without having to hassle with several other people pulling around you, training etc. Hence why BoT is labeled KC version 2.... all the idiots who used to train in KC have leveled and still do the same thing just in a higher zone.

To summarize.. Don't knock why people do things, for they are the ones with the reasons to do those things, and wether you agree with them, that is their choice to do by paying the monthly fee.

Druid epic also has a drop in KC, off VS or his shade. So thats 3 epics and a few very decent focus drops, especially on progression servers.

Rhykar you shoulda added, that only morons think LDoN exp is great. Any level appropriate camp for any exp group will net you twice the xp as an LDoN adventure. I don't complain all that much because it guarantees that there will be less stupid level 65's running around EQ, they will all be busy grinding forever in LDoNs.
