More Proof for King Tormax,

When you finish the mask of war turn in Bvellos asks for more information to prove Wenglawks Kkeak is a traitor.

Turn in the sealed letter from the shardwing courior in western wastes.

Captain Bvellos says 'This will be that fools downfall. How dare he trade with our enemies! I am sure King Tormax with have him put to death. Take my cloak. It is the last item i have to give. I must see the king immediately about these matters!

faction for Kromzek, Kromrif, and King Tormax increase
factin for Claws for Veeshan decreases

You get experience and a Dire wolf-hide cloak.

This guy hits FAST!!!

As stated before, he hits around the 250'ish range max. This compares to the strength of Veterans in the Arena, but Bvellos is tougher than most arena Veterans because he hits so much faster.

He summons, Rampages and heals himself. He tried to run on low HP but when rooted he proceeded to ENRAGE.

Soloable by some very well geared level 60 maybe but for the most part, leave him be so questers can turn in dorf heads, unless you've got a vendetta against him or just want to test yourself.

62 Shaman & pet took this guy down. Was a close call with lots of dots, canni, torpor, oom and pet had to be rezzed after the fight. I'll be honest and say I was glad I had gate memorized, just in case. He dropped some meat and a dire wolf-hide cloak: 8ac 6str 6sta 35hp 0.5wt all/all

PH woes
# Dec 27 2002 at 12:16 AM Rating: Decent
26 posts
Finding him up for hand-ins can be a pain. His PH is the Kael Militia Captain who is static, and will not roam out of his room.

He does de-pop after a time and respawns a second or two later. So you may get a chance at spotting Bvellos during these times.

The pain is when people are camping the bank. He'll live for about 2 mins after spawning before he roams out and agro's them.

Just curious after looking thru all these posts. Does anyone know what lvl your faction needs to be to do the quests with him and some of the others? I have gone from 42-44 on my mage soloing dwarves for heads in GD and have turned in about 50-60 heads so far to the Kromrif Recruiter at the EW zone. Half of the giants are warmly but the ones on Bvellos faction are still apprehensive. Also does hunting in SS work faster towards both factions?

eeep if you killed that many dorfs you should have been dubious at the least, and you only need dubious to turn in heads to this guy, you get much better faction hits for giving this guy heads instead of the recruit =\ and you would probably be amiably or ally to king for that many heads
RE: Faction
# Oct 05 2003 at 1:51 AM Rating: Decent
Ive turned in around 100 heads to this guy and gone from max scowl to max ally Kromzek....from max scowl to indifferent Kromrif and max scowl...till well, still scowl to KT. Gonna have to kill Dain a few more times to get good enough faction with KT to turn in Dain head for Dwarf Belt. Its hard to reverse killin' KT and doing AoW =(. Heads work well for raising Zek faction and are ok for Rif...but KT faction, your better off killing Dain/Yeli. If you arent able, i feel sorry for you and good luck.

He has a PH which is Kael Milita Captain, he also likes to go wandering and he wanders up past Kings bridge past where King Tormax spawns and into room with Keldor the guy who drops Orb of Infinite Void. He seems to stand there for a while then wanders back to bank. I think he chats to one of the giants in that room but i can't remember what he talks about. He also likes to buff every giant he passes on the way there and back with his Pally HP buff.

#Anonymous, Posted: May 30 2002 at 1:19 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) So, one day I like woke up. And I went downstairs to my kitchen and I was like (I feels like some captin crunch). So I grab myself a bowl of captin (you know how it is) and I was like "damn yo! This stuff be good!" It was so good that I decided to get a bucket of it (so I could like snack on it whiles I was playing Everquest) And I was like, captin crunch be good yo! So I was thinkin about captin and how fun it would be to be him (pretty cool eh). Anyways I was running around with my level 3 Warrior (uber). And I came up to this guy named Captain Bvellos, and I was hey captin "sup yo?!?" He was like "nuthin much here yo!" "So I was like I'm just eatin me some captin crunch yo!" He was like "ArgH! Captin crunch is the sh*ts yo" And I was like "yeah". He was like "you're so cool I'm goings to give you something tight yo" and I was "cool". Then he pulled a Giant Militia Longsword, Glimmering Mithril Torque, Glowing Black Sword out his back pocket yo. I was like "hey yo, how you fits that stuffs in yo back pocket?" and he was like "it's a secret yo". I said "can you tell me" and he said "I can'ts yo, if I did it would be a secret yo". So I was "alright". Then he gave me the Giant Militia Longsword, the Glimmering Mithril Torque, and the Glowing Black Sword. I was like "thanks yo, but you still haven't givin me the secret about how you stuffed all that sh*ts down yo back pocket". He said" I can'ts tell you yo" and I was like "you betters!". He said "no", and I was like "that's it yo!". I took my Giant Militia Longsword and stuck it in his fohead, then I pushed the Glimmering Mithril Torque up his butt yo, and finally I took my Glowing Black Sword and cut his balls off. And I was like "them beans ought to make mes a good bean soup lata yo". Muahahahaha, (pretty cool eh?)

A couple guildies and myself dropped this guy. Fortunately there was a buff warrior to tank him. We were 52monk(myself), 51warrior, 55shadowknight, 49cleric, and 51magician. The warrior must have been 55-60. We were able to get him along and pummel him pretty badly. The warrior that tanked only needed a couple three complete heals and we were good to go. If we wouldnt have had his help, we woulda been whiped whithout him breaking a sweat. He dropped the torque. Is it rare drop now? or still common?

And yes....he is about 150% harder if he has the GBS (which he unfortunately did) plus he resists a ton....our 49 wizard got resisted every time. Good luck and kill this guy for me!

I dunno, you people make it seem harder than it really is. My guild (mostly a 20-53 lvl guild) took him down with 2 groups of 40-53, w/ a 60 chanter & 60 rogue helpin out. We had a lvl 53 war tankin him (although I believe he died, but our 52 war SA stepped up) and we were fine. We single pulled him easily. Lucky for me he dropped the GMT and guess who got it? ME!

We killed him with a 48 monk, 51 warrior, 52 monk, 54 cleric, 52 druid, and a 52 rogue. He likes to cast heal on himself alot. We thought we were going to be short handed because when you pull him, he's buffed to high heavens. Like that mattered tho because he had the Glowing Black sword and debuffed himself. heh heh

You can hand in 4 heads at a time.

It seems to give a lot of Kromzek faction, but very little Rif/Tormax.

Anyone ever consider the fact that if you give the Glowing Black Sword to a high level mob, like Inny for example, that it would cause him to debuff himself, making him an easier victim, and killing a god would be much easier? Food for thought...

Other Loot
# Aug 06 2001 at 3:03 PM Rating: Default
He drops a Dire-Wolf Hide cloak a lot also.

Thinking about all the times we've killed this guy, I'd say that all 3 of the pieces (cloak, sword, and torque) drop about evenly in rarity from one another. But we could have just been getting lucky on the torques, becuase the first 4 times were all torque drops.

Of course now that we can go in and take him with 4 people, the bastard never drops the torque for us heh. Go figure.

We took this guy out with a 57 druid, 55 warrior, 54 wizard, 52 bard, 51 cleric, and 53 SK. He was wielding the Glowing Black Sword and put up quite a fight. The cleric and wiz were FM when we started and got down to almost 0m, the druid went from 80 to 0 also. Just as the warrior died (cleric OOM) he started running, we got really lucky on that part. Hits for max 215, don't let him agro on your casters.

Glimmering Mithril Torc is his rare
15ac 2str .2 weight warrior only, VERY nice neck piece, but when he pops with the sword he is extremely difficult to take down, tryed him with 1 group of 55+ and couldn't do him but took him out fairly easily with 2 groups. On a side note he is a paladin and he will LoH when he gets to like 20 percent health.

We had about 3 groups (16people) levels 45-56 from my guild just doing some easy faction work at the WL zone line. Anyhow, I wind up pullin this guy and boy did he put up a fight.

He had the Glowing black sword, so he kept on dispelling the debuffs we were throwing on him and he has a NASTY regen. We wound up losing 4 people total (one was sitting down and got summoned so that really means 3) and wound up with a pretty dang nice sword for the bard that was with us.

He hits for around 250 so buyer beware.
He drops some random stuff too.

I haven't been into Kael at all yet, but when I am apprehensive I will turn in the Dorf Heads I have been collecting. I assume this guy is either a Kromzek or Kromrif otherwise this quest would be too hard to do to raise King Tormax faction.

If anyone knows, please post.
