Invalid Mob ID

Tried to solo him today, My group spawned him 3 times today while on my level 40 warrior. Feeling frogy I grabbed my Necro and decided to see if he could kill him. So with stats maxxed at 255 and resists at 500 it was a long fight. But I still was not the victor. Guess I will go get my body now.
(P.S. Stats are from 2nd year veteran reward and only lasts 15 minutes)

Was grinding the taskmaster room last night with a full 35-40 grp. We had a 56 cleric healing us also, and this guy popped. We had just clered the room of the rest of the skellies I went uo to pull and this guy walks out of the wall and sits down in the middle of the room. I called for the grp to come to where I was. I told everyone to buff and med asap he cannot be targeted when he first comes into the room. 5 minutes after he came into the room his name changed and he started mezing tashing making us his pets. Before we could do 50% damage 3 of us were attackignt the rest of our group the cleric was healing him and the taskmaster which happened to pop just as he agrooed us. Needless to say I logged on my 55 cleric with his clicky and rezzed the whole grp. He is a tough mob make sure you have your resist up and good luck

64 pally and 45 necro duoed him, hits for around 180, he tryed to Grav Flux, charm, mezz, nuke for 800, and the usual tash.

This guy was a wuss. My guild member spawned him, and I was asked to come kill it. I tried to pull with snare, but he was immune so when he started to cast I did the same. Loaded him with 5 dots, and then began my nukes. Took me about 3min to easily solo kill him. He however does chain cast his charm, and did land tash on me. However my MR was still 155, and he couldnt land anything else. He hits for 177-227 decent fast, a little surprised for a EC mob named or not. He did drop the boots which I gave to my guild member so it was a decent & fun fight.

This guys Easy to spawn. Go to the harder side of the zone, go to the TM room and clear it a coupel times leave nothing standing a few minutes later a untargetable Xil type of thing spawns wait til h becomes targetable and Wham there ya go yeh got xil. buff MR and everything before he Depops about 10-15 minutes after he spawns,.

I listened to the a thought horror talk, and then bam, Xilniov spawns. BTM at 59, could not take him down solo. 59 wizard. I got him to 60%, then he charmed me and got back up to FM. Hit me max for 220ish. Considering the stuff he drops, he's a waste of time.

This mob is tough he charmed and enchanter 62 friend of mine.

Hi all,

I have found that on message boards and in game (at least on the Drinal server) there is a lot of confusion as to who this guy is and how hard he is to take down.

He is level 52, not level 55+ and not level 60 like people like to say =). If he spawns as anything other than 52 I have not seen it. As a level 52 mage he cons even to me.

Also as near as I can tell he is a random spawn. I spent levels 45-51 in the room below the TM and in the TM's room and only saw him twice. Of course that was only 2 days, but still I cleared the skellies countless times and only saw him twice.

Now at 52 I do AA exp there and have only seen him twice. A person was telling me earlier tonight though that they saw him twice yesterday, so if you're wondering where my conclusion comes from that he's random, it's just from my experience. I do however believe that the skellies need to be cleared before he will spawn but I can't confirm that.

Tonight he spawned while I was camping that room and I thought what the heck. I told 2 friends that were hanging around in the lower room (a 45 cleric and warrior) to stand back because I was probably going to get charmed, and I malise pulled him. The tunnel to the lower room drops you out of sight so he cannot see you and has to stop casting, then he comes to tunnel entrance and that's where I sent my pet in.

(On a side note, please don't flame me saying that mobs can see through walls. They can, but they have trouble with the Z axis and the tunnel drops you down below him, that's why it interrupts his spell and he has to show his ugly face).

Personally I didn't see what the big deal was. He charmed me off the bat and made me nuke my friends who hadn't backed away =P, and he sent me running around while he killed my pet. My pet dropped him 2 bubs of health before he died, and by the time he died I was well out of range and could have cast another pet. However there were afk people in the tunnel and I didn't want to attack him again without letting them know that I might come through charmed, so I zoned out. He did 0 damage to me, he just kept trying to charm me.

I went back to kill him but he had despawned.

My strategy next time is to pull him to tunnel entrance, send pet and get myself charmed (I'll warn the zone first). He'll send me on my rampage, when charm breaks cast and send again. I'm guessing 3 or 4 pets should wrap it up pretty nicely. I guess we'll see =)

Ok, last night a 61 Shammy and I camped the taskmaster (who is a Shissar snake).
A really nice guy from 'Ring of Myrth and Mayhem' (lvl 48 ) was camping the room outside. (Had left his camp earlier to come show me where TM room was.)
Anyway, while we are waiting between spawns, we are helping the other guy, and he lets us know he cleared that entire room with no Xilniov spawning.
We clear the room, no Xilniov. (Since that time have checked here, and seen debate as to whether he randomly spawns after killing all the skellies or is on a timer.)
TM spawns about 4-5 times, we keep killing skellies, no Xilniov - then poof! A terror thought spawns (non-targetable). Now we did not try to leave at this time so don't know if it would have been even possible. We are fully buffed and FOM - guy from RoM&M joins group - we figure we can take Xilniov......needed to refigure. Terror thought transforms into Xilniov - ytm and guy, and db to shammy. First thing that happens is we are all stunned....uh-oh. Next thing we know, shammy's pet is charmed and attacking her. I cast celestial and then superior...it keeps her alive, but X agros on me-brings shammy and her pet to help him. I am knocked down to one bubble, charmed and then feared. After that, all I see is me running up against a wall. Shammy and guy manage to escape, but X did not follow. End of the story: We all made it to zone finally w/o dying and got no drops. Camped somewhere else now! LOL

Just curious. Will he jump in and help if you are smacking skelly's or TM?

Was leveling my druid (I am a level 52 Paladin and my druid is 37) there and had the company of a 44 Beastlord, this guy spawns, I tell the BL that we can take him. Next thing I know, both me and the BL are charmed and attacking my druid, we both kill him and then I look and see that I am standing in front of Xil and he is making me heal him! Charm finally wore off, I DA'd and ran to the zone, the only one that ended up dying was the druid.

My guild and I went to camp the taskmaster for Shissar organs a few nights ago. Xil, taskmaster, and skellies were all currently spawned when we got there, they went after the taskmaster, and Xil agroed on me, charmed me, and me and my lvl 52 druid spells killed the rest of my group and Xil ran off and forgot about me so I lived through it. We had like one group and an extra person. there were ultimately about 9 people there but never more than 7 at any one time. All were high 40s to 50s, cleric, necro, druid, bard, 2 pallies, a shaman, and a war, I think someone else was there but I don't remember. anyway, he spawned again after about 3 taskmasters had spawned, we killed him that time, the next time, and the last time he spawned I ended up mezzed and some other people got charmed so we all died again, except for me, he forgot about me again. guess I'm not worth the trouble. I've heard he despawns after a while but I'm not sure how long, it's probably in here somewhere, and he was spawning approximately every 2-4 taskmaster spawn time periods. hope someone finds this info useful.

This one ain't the toughest, but he is one bad mob. We took him down twice last night. The group consisted of 51 ranger, 51 druid, 51 mage, 52 bard, 53 shaman, and a 45 cleric. The second time around we had a 49 warrior in place of the bard. When I pulled this guy, we kinda did things backwards, as opposed to the usual. When the shaman saw him, he immediately started laying on the debuffs, of course this made the two tanks have to work a bit to get taunt, but the difference it made was worth the risk. With this mob debuffed we didn't see too many of the 285 damage slaps, like we did the first time.
In both fights, somebody got mezzed or charmed. Both fights ended with everyone at full health, and our cleric at 20 mana. Dropped the boots and the gloves.
Good camp, chain pull dungeon exp.

He is NOT undead, unfearable, not a solo fight

my guild took him down we were all under 45 and there were about 14 of us droped the gaunts was a first on my serever

Woot Enchanters Rocks!
I want my char to look like this ROFLMAO.

56 enchanter

My self lvl 47 Pali, and a couple of friends of mine (50 BL, 42 Bard), decided what the hey, we can take this guy, or at least see how tough he is. Mind you none of us are twinks, but we all have average gear for our level.

BL pulled to get solo mob, and thirty seconds later he was only one left alive, as me and the bard were in birthday suits contemplating CR's. LMAO,

BL made it to zone, as I was chain stunning with deepwater gauntlet, could not get a chance to use LoH, by then was all but over, then when I got back to rez bard who was bound in Katta, Big "X" was still sitting on my Dwarfen corpse.

I was supprised that we lasted 28 seconds longer than I had thought we would, in our 30 second fight.

Pongu Jangie Paladin of 47th season

Just wanted to toss in my 2cp. Well my group came up on another group fighting him last night (my group consisted of a 38 cleric, a 42ish Sk, and myself~41 wizard). The other group had him at about a quarter health and couldn't seem to drop him. So we decided to start hacking away as well. Well long story short, the Sk and I got charmed a lot, killed some of the other group, and didn't dent the mob. It resisted everything in my spellbook at lvl 41. I finally got pked and rezzed back later, so I don't know how they finally finished it off. But this is one bad mo fo.
P.S. If you're thinking mellee... it hits for 240ish =) Enjoy!

I've been in the taskmaster room all day today... he's shown up twice, and I havent been killing the slaves.

He appears to be on a three-hour timer. He pops out of the wall, tells a story about the master and his slaves, and then stands there.

If you leave him alone, he despawns in 10-15mins.

Just wondering if it is possible to fear kite this guy.

Can't root, snare or stun it. Doubles for 200+ It's a chanter so it slows your melee'ers. For what? Crap loot. Unless there is a rare drop that isn't known about. Those boots suck for the pain that this mob is.

I keep hearing of these awesome boots..... What are the stats? Class and race would be nice too...

Hey all!

Well a full group plus 1 extra, all Mystic Runners, killed him tonight and got boots.

Here's group breakdown:

51 Druid
46 Cleric
52 Mage
41 Paladin (ungrouped)
51 Shaman
46 Ranger
52 Chanter

Only the Pally, cause Cleric didn't know her health, and Ranger died, not too bad cause we got em a res by 56 Cleric.

Cleric won roll on boots.

Forgot to mention this:

I, Druid, pulled with ensnare (resisted) and had 6 spell icons debuffed followed by me being charmed. :(

Ranger died cause he was charmed and we ended up killing him, I think. It was kinda hectic in there.

Finally, he resisted my 612 point Ice spell, but not the 612 point Starfire and he's immune to stun.
