a haze panther  

Just wondered if anyone else has noticed Haze panthers Gating? Everytime I find one and attack they disappear by gating, they like to come back but soon as they get close or one hit they gate again.

THis btw is on Progression server
Thanks

I just finished hunting in wakening lands for these mobs. First of all, you need a tracker. Then you need see invis. I cast invis on myself and my tracker. We killed regular panthers who aggroed on me as soon as I cast. They hit for 60 to 80 no big deal. The haze panthers seem to be on same paths, so regular panthers might be ph'ers. I killed two in two hours got my haze panther eye and left. It dropped on second one. No skins, and only one eye on either. Easy kill for me, 65 wiz. My tracker was 46 druid and he had a little problem when he was kiting one with the adds as everything is kos it seems. Just track with invis up and expect adds when you appear. East of lake is main area for them. Good luck, not a fun camp.

Well, I just wanted to chime in. I have been hunting the panthers and haze panthers lately. I find them mostly just east of the lake (west of Kael), as others have said. There are a couple of things I would point out.

1) Running around instead of staying in one place or something safer, I can often need to kill 4 or 5 adds by the time a fight is over. Soloing as a 57 beastlord, this can still get me a tad worried from time to time, so be very careful. The Haze Panthers are light blue to me... adds can be Holgresh + pet, Mercenaries, more panthers, AND this brings me to

2) Watch out for the freaking Corrupted Panther! I have seen him mostly along the south wall of the zone, however, I have seen him come very close to the southwest corner of the lake as well. I make a habit of always facing south when fighting near the lake to keep a lookout for this bad cat. He's 55 i think and he summons. So once you have agro, look forward to either dying quickly (my pet goes down fast, then me if I try to fight... last time i tried anyway)or, if you are fast, about 5 minutes of running thru the Wakening Lands being summoned by this panther, while he gradually slays you, one peice of your butt at a time. Plenty of time to think about how you wish you had been more careful before this guy dropped out of that tree in his path and into your lap.... Not fun. This guy has gotten me a couple of times in this zone, but only once by the lake as I am much more careful now (facing south) when fighting there, and in fact anywhere in the zone.

Otherwise Haze Panthers are LB to me and not so tough. As far as the drop rate, on Sunday 2/9/03 I guess i killed about 8 or 9 Haze Panthers and got 4 Haze Panther Skins and 3 Haze Panther Eyes. This was being in the zone for many hours but also doing other things and running around a lot. Coming back to the lake area about 5 or 6 times i guess to hunt there til i was low on health and oom and buffs coming down. Maybe two Haze Panthers per visit to the area if i was lucky.

Good hunting,

Goto velks. People leave spider threads (NODROP) rotting all the time. Combine 5 and destroy. I raised my tailoring to 50 here without spending any plat.

just wondering, about how much would you think these pelts would cost off of a player?

I tried killing one last night. I was a lvl 45 wiz, it was blue, and I figured no problem. I tried to root it. No luck. I repeatedly had it resist root, until it finally stuck. By that time it had chewed threw my skins, and I was at half health. It then preceded to resist 4 snares, and then root broke. It then resisted several more roots, and killied me.

Anyone else experience resist problems with these things? That one must have had magic resists through the roof.

So these Haze panthers are like lvl 39-40 and drop skins that are used in tailoring. Anybody knows how hard they hit ? And someone mentioned they cast invis on themselves ?

Just wanna clarify everything. Forum's kinda messy

Hmm...I'm going to go look for these soon, I don't have track, but as I can tell as a tailor, this and a couple other things are the cheapest way to increase tailoring skil (can be 30 plat or so an attempt at one boning), I don't have track as a necromancer, and have no idea what lives, and doesn't live in this zone, as the only time I have been trough it is running like a coward along the north wall to get to skyshrine. I would like to know if the pelts drop off these with any consistency, or if it's kind of rare. I assume I will need the services of a tracker to find them, though seeing invis isn't really they problem. And for all you flamers, sheesh get a freakin clue.

Tailoring sucks...

On the other board for belt or belt board the recipe was said to be: a haze panther pelt, 1-3 mithril bonings, yew leaf(somthing like that)

I have seen references to tailored Haze Panther armor that looks very nice for rogues. Having never killed a haze panther (despite spending a good amount of time in WL -- just unlucky I guess), I don't know -- do they drop pelts as loot?

I've seen blue Haze Panthers at 40th.. So their level min is a bit lower then 40th..

Sheesh, just go find out yourself, ya lazy gitz. Quad-kiting, animal charming, fast-running, snaring, teleporting, supercamo-ing lazy-ass druids can't even do their own recon? Better wait for a warrior or someone with some guts to go find out, so you don't have to interrupt your current cheesy exp farm, eh?

inquiring druids want to know =)
