Nezekezena  

Just passin it along.....I hunted these embers as my last epic item. Soloing Phur at 57 wasnt too bad, but had to box my chanter for CC. You will get adds, unless you plan to pull each mob to the hill that surrounds Silix. That seems to be pretty safe up there.

I had 6 different groups and about 10 solos there before I got the embers.

Took me 2 weeks, 30 named kills (Nez & Phur)to get embers.

I had nights where we couldnt even get the spawn started, in this case go do something productive.
You should be able to get the spawn going in about 20 min of killin every 'CLOSE' wondering mob to the spawn loc.

I'd like to shout @ Kroxim, Tenlayen, and Katonix/Sylann. Thanks for helpin wit dis one guys!

Also, All in all I probably killed 12 Nez's and 18 Phurs. I got my embers off of Phur and 20 min later Kroxim got his embers off another Phur.

Hope this helps with you upcoming Mages

Once I finally got the spawn cycle started I saw this guy a lot, for my magician epic. I am a level 65 Magician, so I dont know how helpful my input will be for the lower levels needing his Burning Embers, but here is what I know about how difficult he is.

He hits for NO more than what the other "wurms" in the area hit for. 70-150 hp. Yes, he does summon, but he hits for so little and so slowly, that its barely an issue. With my 61 air pets taunt, he forgets about me as soon as im out of his range again. Not sure on his exact HP but it seemed to be somewhere around 10-15k. I used my 61 air pet to kill him, focused with a Diamond Prism of Companionship, and he never once needed a heal, let alone drop below 50 health. He does gate, but if you're using the air pet like I did, the stuns are more than covered. Here is the strategy I used to solo him.

Send in 61 Air pet.
Let pet beat him down to 80
Cast Black Steel (Sun Vortex is fire, too resistable by the wurms)
Continue casting black steel till he was at 30 and save it till he was at 15
once it was at 15, burn him down to avoid him gating.

He never did manage to gate, tho he tried with all his might :P. So I'm not sure where he would gate to...

Hope this info helps someone... GL

Hehe,
just got done killing both nezekezena and phurzikon in less then 30 minutes.Went to the same camp spot listed in other posts and within 5 minutes i saw phurzikon up.Kelled him and had mage with me for grins(he didnt think he would spawn).at any rate mage was pissed cause he didnt drop the epic piece for him.anyway not about 15 minutes laster i had nezzy on track as well.Took him down-little bit tougher fight becuase he gated on me.Had bard mem bruscos boastful bellow and took nezzy on again.this time he did not gate as my bard was interuppting him with bellow.Got my epic drop from nezzy and all is well.Going to Skyfire now to take on eldrig.

Ok, so... I'm gonna post what I learned along the way and what was different from what I thought about the spawn after reading all the posts I could find about these wurms.

A) We killed everything at neg465 neg2545 (so that much is right) and the first mob to spawn there begins the cycle. It's not necessarily any specific mob.

B) Once the cycle begins, it doesn't end until you allow the mob (whatever it is) to idle there long enough and start wandering for the next ambitious mage/bard to come along and kill it to start the cycle again.

C) Both wurms spawned elsewhere WHILE we were at that spot killing. Our druid noticed them on track and pulled to us. (Side note: both gate so try to stun when their health is low, they can gate past tracking range)

D) Respawn is around 90 seconds and begins countdown from when the last mob to spawn at that loc died.

E) Adds are plentiful because of all the wanderers in the area. Do not think you will be up against just one mob when you get the spawn cycle to begin. We had as many as 4 on us at once.

Hope this post helps you all 8)

Some guildmates and I did this camp tonight (they must have been bored ). Levels ranged from 43 to 62. We went to exactly -470, -2550. I dropped an elemental defender on the ground as a marker (it has a pulsating glow).

There are tons of wandering mobs around here. At level 59 they ranged from green to the rare dark blue.

With a full group, including my water pet and a bst pet we felt pretty safe. The killing spree began. We mostly stayed within eyesight of the marker and mercilessly dispatched every mob that had the misfortune to wander within range.

I kept a close watch on the spawn point and sure enough, a scoreia hornet spawned right on the spot. I suppose it could have been any of the various mob types that could have started the cycle. I announced to the group the spawn cycle had begun.

We killed a number of spawns, including a few Nezekezenas and Phurzikons. One Phurzikon kindly bestowed upon us a burning embers and the red worm gut for the bard epic. We just happened to have a bard with us who needed the drop.

Many thanks to those who posted all the helpful information on this camp.

Plz ignore this post. It isnt broke just takes a while to find what spawn from that point. I did finnaly get my embers and Nez WAS glowing when I got them. I a 63 mage soloed Nez and Phurz quite easily with air pet. They so busy casting you dont have to worry much about pet heals or aggro. I debuffed with Mala and nuked with Black Steel. Very easy to kill. Also i found that if you see a Scoriae Hornet in Nezekena's spawn area kill it. it spawns from nez's spawn point.

We did him with 3 Bards. Send in pets. Eventually, usually on the first charm break, someone gets summoned. Everyone rush in and Snare/Fear.

Have at least two of you twisting Fear, in case one gets resisted, misses notes etc. Also, staying in range is tough. I found that if you stay real close to the hind legs, up under his ***, fear will usually reach. Still, have two fearing.

Put intimidate on your fear song hotkey using /doability x. It only works about 1 third of the time, but it does not seem to be as range dependent as AE Fear song. (You can tell which actually feared em from different message: "Target looks very afraid" is Intimidation. "%t flees in terror" is Fear Song)

Ok we were camping this spot ans low and behold after killing several mobs the scoreia wasp a rare mob finally spawned. Once we killed this mob it started the 90 second spawner at this loc

However, Nezekezena is harder due to the numberous monsters running around and all the potential adds. Tag Nezekezena and lure him to a secluded spot, and use the same tactic as Eldrig:

Bard (56) constantly fear kites, Wizard (65) casts Atols and nukes until dead.
