Vulak`Aerr  

Allways dreamed of owning Tolan's Longsword of the Glade but maybe now after all these years when u can buy better weaps in Bazaar i might be able to get it lol,

Vulak still summon all other dragons to his side when engage him?

Whats the spawn time on this bad boy?

After years of waiting I was finally able to get Abashi's Rod of Disempowerment today!I love numbers so here are mine.85 Necro,all defensive AAs complete,3838 AC.

225 Lowest hit

1295 Highest hit

296 second fight,my pet and I did 3106.96 dps in that time.No poison spells would land so I ended up using fire and corruption.It took 7 kills over 2 years (he was never up and try to find a group to help with something like this) to get Abashi's.

Overall I am very happy,this was the last necro toy I had left to collect.I don't believe I could have done it at 80 without a merc,but who knows.

Have killed vulak twice over the past 2 weeks fixing for a third as we speak. I know theres alot of people looking for accurate info. Both times have been done duo 80 monk / shaman. Very easy fight, spells land np and is slowable, no rampage and i dont think he even enrages. To spawn him ive just been waiting for thylex to pop then i kill what evers up for lords and ladies, neither time have i had to clear all the lords and ladies, just what ever was up, both times its been both ladies and one lord due to other people clearing prior. As for loot drops ill give a couple more kills and then ill repost.

Heh, funny how after all these years there is still no real reliable info on this guy.


Max Hit: 1400
HP Estimate: 800,000
Flurries: Yes
Rampages: No
Enrages: No
Slowable: Yes, fully, really easy too

As was said, Vulak is no longer a ring event. You now need to kill all the named dragons in the North wing, and if Thylex of of Veeshan is up, he will despawn and Vulak will spawn in the tower in the center of the wing. Interestingly, the three dragons at the far north end of the wing (Sevelak, Cekenar, Zlexak) are exempt from this rule and not required to be killed for Vulak to spawn, and Vulak will not summon them during the fight if they are still up. I guess only the dragons named Lord/Lady affect Vulak's spawning, though I never tested this myself with Jorlleag.

Luthair's 4 loot tables are either wrong, of very incomplete. I've seen multiple items from each of the tables he has listed drop simultaneously. Not sure how many Vulak kills I've done but it's definitely over 10.

Most of these dragons are now soloable at level 80, but with Vulak I needed a healer box because I had a crappy slow.

Out of sixteen Vulak kills this is what I got:

Abashi's Rod of Disempowerment 1
Akkirus' Mask of Warfare 1
Brother Xave's Headband 2
Camii's Bracer of Vigor 0
Crystasia's Crystal Ring 5
Do`Vassir's Gauntlets of Might 3
Feeliux's Cord of Velocity 4
Gharn's Rock of Smashing 2
Hobart's War Helmet 3
Jaelen's Katana 1
Kelsiferous' Armband of Artistry 4
Maclaer's Boots of Silence 4
Mrylokar's Dagger of Vengeance 3
Palladius' Axe of Slaughter 2
Rowyl's Metal Armguards 4
Sal`Varae's Robe of Darkness 3
Sirran's Boots of Insanity 2
Solist's Earring of Insight 4
Ssra's Bloodstone Eyepatch 1
Tolan's Longsword of the Glade 5
Valtron's Necklace of Wonder 4
Viik's Pauldrons of Pain 2
Vyrinn's Earring of Insanity 1
Yakatizma's Shield of Crafting 3

Each kill always had four different equipable loot items as tallied above. He never dropped the same item equipable loot item twice on a single kill. In addition, he always had two ancient spells, which occasionally were the same spell.


This data reflects the 16 times I killed Vulak alone. I was in on many other Vulak kills with others, and didn't record the drops. This data is as accurate as early morning kills allows, (frequently 3 or 4 AM) but I think it is reasonably reliable. I don't see that there are slot one, slot two, slot three, and slot four items as suggested by Luthair below because I was careful to record the drops in order and sometimes those items in slot two on one occasion would be in slot three another time, and that applied to other slots also. Maybe I didn't understand his post, or his method of assigning items to slots.

What I would think everyone wants to know is: "How often does Vulak drop Abashi's Rod of Disempowerment?" I have seen it drop exactly four times. This is in about ? forty or fifty Vulak kills. I would estimate that based on the laws of probability as I understand them, he drops Abashi's about once in ten to twenty kills. Each Vulak kill is going to take record keeping, planning, strategy, and potentially repeat visits, or camping of spawns depending on your luck. If you are solo, expect to spend a minimum of ? four hours, probably more depending on how you do it and how long it takes you to figure out the situation in detail.

Edit: I didn't check on each kill, but I never saw a visible weapon equipped by Vulak, even when he dropped one. The only time I had a clue to what he was going to drop was once with Myroklar's Dagger of Vengenance, and I had the life tap showing on my long term buff bar durinig the fight. But I don't remember seenig that life tap all three times he dropped the dagger, just once.

In the process of getting my necro her Abashi's Rod of Disempowerment, I killed Vulak 16 times. Most of those times it was with necro slowing with Willsapper, which lowered Vulak's DPS on me from roughly 165 dps to 125 dps (rough numbers based on my recollection of parses). I used self heals, pots, maxed regeneration with distillate of replenishment, necro pet, and necro heals (they do exist). The necro only did the slowing. She didn't try to add dps from spells, as casting a spell takes time and is distracting. Also I didn't want her getting aggro. My DPS was kind of sucky, which resulted from Call of the Zero spell causing interrupts and not being able to see my target, need to self heal, supervising the necro, and checking /who and track for potential KSers.. This is clearly not soloing. The necro herself added a whopping 15 or so DPS the one time I parsed her while using her Willsapper. These fights got to be real yawners after a few kills.

But once I did do a pure solo with the exception of group leadership points, and a campfire for added ATK. I used my epic 1.0 for slows, and the tash stick from Sebilis to make it stick (maybe I didn't need the tash stick). That was one tough fight. I used all my discs and aa spells including weapon shield in order get some self healing in.

The ranger was level 80, self buffed about 27 k hp and 4600 AC, and all SOF raid geared.

I just killed Vulak tonite. 80 cleric and warrior, 80 mage and 67 rogue. He dropped the axe of slaughter,pauldrons of pain, crystal ring, cord of velocity,and 2 ancient bard songs. Not bad,but no robe or rod,which is what I was hoping for. Fun fight!

where does he spawn after the zone is cleared?

I know some where wondering if he is still a ring event, and I can't really be sure since I've only done him recently I have nothing to compare it to.

We just cleared all the lords and ladies of NToV and he spawned. Did him and the rest of the zone with 4 people. 72 cleric, 75 warrior, 75 bard, 75 wizard. Warrior, bard, and cleric are all of 300-500 AA and Anguish gear. Cleric has like 30 AAs and TSS tier 1 gear, etc.

Whole clear took like 4 hours for us, but we move pretty slow. Vulk himself took us like 20-22 minutes.

Get a good group together and 6 people can do this mob..70+ with Qvic or better gear this mob should be doable..Better to have 2 groups makes for faster kill...

I'm curious since he drops ancient spells, was this Raid mob created during Velious or was he added on during Luclin era, and did his loot table change when Luclin came out? I started playing late during PoP era.

IMO this is easyily one of the hardest mobs in game. Not just time consuming, but HARD.
What's his spawn time?

Either you must enter this thing all at once without anyone lagging behind or this was screwed up for us.

People were dying left and right in my group as we were running in.

It seems the DTers spawned fast killing people as they ran by.

We had cleared most of NTOV the day before.

All this work for nothing since we AE TL out of that mess.

how hard this Vulak`Aerr hit ?

White wind of Drinal Beat the snot outta him tonight

Good write up on Safehouse

Does Vulak still summon the other NTov dragons now that this is a Ring?

Vulak just dropped on Antonius Bayle server.

Gratz Wind of Tranquility : Welcome to farm status mr.Vulak :)

this messege was left blank

Elem/Time enabled guild, low numbers on a weekend and NToV up entirely culminated in the destruction of the cash cow that is Vulak'Aerr.

I can safely say now that with about five tanks, five clerics, a chanter, a bard, and a shaman, with some DPS thrown in you can easily drop this ring. We had 35-40 (people came late to get COH) and we annilated it. I think we had 8 deaths total the entire time, mostly due to complacency with the first spawn of three flurry templars.

Dropped Kel Arm, Palidus Axe, Myrlokar Dagger, Sirran boots, Ancient Burnout and Ancient Ice.

Was fun, planning on it again until we get one of our monks the nerf stick for pulling.

Ok i was looking up ToV mobs by faction today, and Vulak comes up as allied with CoV and allied with Gaurdians of Veeshen. My understanding from fighting in ToV is that those are opposite factions...so unless im seriously mistaken this guy obviously cons KoS, meaning his is not on CoV faction, but on gaurdians of veeshen. If this is true why is he listed among other mobs under both of these. Could someone please clear this up for me?

A long long time ago I found a post by a FoH member that listed out what Vulak's Loot tables are. According to his post there are actually 4 diffrent tables and Vulak only drops 1 item from each table each time he is killed, so you will never see 2 of the same item drop

At the time I noted the info but didnt copy it down because I never thought I would be killing him... :/

Anyway does anyone happen to have that info or know if it is still valid?

My question what is the quest to start ring up

Order of Draconys on Xev server completed Vulak ring tonite. We're the first guild to complete the ring on Xev :). Ya other guilds killed him but noone has done ring.

Was one of the funnest times I've had since I started EQ. Nonstop action for 3 hours. You definitely CAN CoH people into the ring once its started, just don't get close to the DT mobs, we lost 3 or 4 to those. Also, you can aggro mobs outside ring so watch that too.

Vulak himself was easier than the ring imo. Keep the MA disease free and he keeps aggro. He keeps aggro and you win :). Lol, I even had to recast tash the fight was so long.

Dropped solist earing (gratz me!), Myrolokar's Dagger(gratz Arrested, 3rd on Xev with one!) and Akkirus Mask(Gratz Roladar!). Also two copies of ancient feral avatar for our shammies.

What are you talking about? There is a guild on Tallon Zek that has taken out Vulak'Aerr

I mean Alfrid did not have Palladius Axe of Slaughter fall into his hand ones day.

Toee and Azzure did not wake up to find a Sal'Varae's Robe of Darkness in his closet one day.

Tallon Maby be a little slow but that 2years behind the rest of the servers.
