The Muglwump  

At this time, I am a LvL 44 DRUID. When I take several lower LvL friends, strangers, or guildmates over to Odus to slay the great Mugglewump; there are some things I keep in mind. One important thing is the level difference between the members of your party compared to the many kobolds that inhabit this zone. It is best if most of the kobolds /con GREEN to the party members. (for obvious reasons of course) Make note that high LvL green con's will often attack anyway if a player is at a low enough LvL.

There are basically two directions to take in order to arrive at The Mugglewump. One of these paths will take you close to the BATLINGS. A few of these can cause all sorts of issues in trying to control a group of players and conserve mana at the same time. This is why i'd suggest taking your group along the other route. This second route will take you by many kobolds instead. While in battle or even before battle...Kobolds like the diseased one's will try to crash your party. Many speak to me of deaths directly caused by so many frustrating kobolds joining in the battle. A good idea is to slay them as they come. It's better to clean many of them out rather than to have them join in when you least expect it.

Make it clear to your party that sitting to med or heal will often cause more harm than good. In most areas, you'd get the same results of walking up and punching a kobold as you would get if you were to sit down in an attempt to med/heal. If possible, use your HIDE skill and make sure it actually worked before you sit. If you don't have the ability to HIDE, you could ask a group mate if they have INVISIBILITY available to cast on you.

When I take groups here for a little adventure, I remember to SOW everyone right before entering the zone. This makes sure that everyone has a fresh one on. Also, ahead of time I memorize my strongest AOE spell along with a group-port spell for evacuation. My AOE is only used if there is a moment of chaos. Always making sure that it's long casting time does not put anyones life in danger. (it'd be better to heal quickly than to risk waiting for the AOE to cast) There is always the chance for an interuption when kobolds begin to frenzy. Try to plan ahead for this to compensate by casting your spells a bit earlier than you normally might. This is especially important in terms of evacuating.

If your party is there for only loot and not EXP, using INVIS works good for traveling to the Mugglewumps lair without being hassled. (assuming they are around LvL 18 and above) In outings such as this, I normally begin casting my evacuation spell a bit before the player begins to loot. This is only because the player becomes visable when looting. Causing the many kobolds to frenzy.

The Mugglewump has a few no-drop items for certian classes. Take players along with you that are of those classes. It is also ok to take folks along who are not one of the listed classes that could use the no-drop items. The Mugglewump often drops potions which can be used by ALL/ALL. Or perhaps a Peridot which may sell for a few plat.

I dont see where the trouble with this guy is, i have no trouble killing him, hehe but i cheat, lv 54 druid, i use my es vambraces to pull, once hes after me i stand toe to toe and fight while nuking with starfire doest take but a second and hes dead,

Man this guy is hard....well hits hard anyway.

If you tick him off enough he cast a Spell that makes him go all Anarchy on ya. Ended up hitting me for 84 damage. Heh thanks to my pet I could go back and heal up a bit.

Lvl 30 BL at the time soloed him....fun guy, long spawn

Here is the stats on this Enchanter only No Drop item:
Stats: +15 MANA +2 INT +3 CHA +5 SV COLD
Special Attributes: MAGIC, NO DROP, LORE
Slot(s): Primary, Secondary

I was able to take this overgrown tadpole down with my 30 half elf warrior at half hp. used a Black alloy longsword and icetooth claws,armor worn was crafted mainly,cept for my bp which was Ry'gorr. Killed em 3 times total and was never over half health and only once got below 1 bub of health during fight. The diseased rats are more bothersome to me than this guy.

he droped a violet flame lantern today, +3 chr +2 int i think. enchanter only pri/ sec slot

He also drops a magi Rod PRIM SEC Areas

Allright you ALL are idiots, The Muglwump is A dragon class, It Dosen't cast whirl till you hurl it proc's it on a sucessful bash, It rampages after loss of 1 bub of health, and casts slow, nothing else, only slow.

The drops are many and all no-drop, so if you plan on looting it, you gota be there, the spawn time is 3 hrs, (i timed it), Most of his drops are Erudite only, (stein, sheild, and Lanturn aren't)

Now if you have any other questions about this DRAGON, feel free to ask me
