loc is 374.47,-28.24, 218.22. 5th floor. its a little tiny side room. 76 rog took her down in about 3 seconds. She dropped tome on the first try. game time was 6pm. side note: on current maps 5th floor is floor "E"
Tome still [u]NOT[/u] N.D. Skelly pet with her. She and the undead bridesmaid(s) hate each other, get them close and the cat fight begins (the maid was no match for the Huntress though). Hit for a high of 137. Cast: Root, Torbas' Acid Blast, Venom of the Snake, Dooming Darkness, Boil Blood.
Edit: I didn't check and see what 4 bridesmaid's would do against her, or how the Huntress might interact with the Wedding party (hehe) maybe next trip.
I killed the Dark Huntress last night on the Tower's 5th floor, The wedding, and the Water-Stained Ancient Tome was NOT no-drop. I'll be checking again soon to verify that that one instance was not a bug.
As of the patch on Dec. 15 this npc has been moved to Tower of Frozen Shadows level 5(the wedding). She is in a cubby on the left side. I killed her twice with my 57 beastlord and noticed no faction hits.
She was up, with no pet, casting wizard spells (DS) on nearby mobs. She was located in the tower near zone in, and I couldn't cast spells or aggro her. What's up with that? Usually she jumps all over me. She conned green to 65, last time I saw her she was light blue.
Same thing for me, while factioning in mistmoore. She cons scowling but doesn't attack, can't cast on her (get the does not take hold message) or attack her. I didn't try an ae, wouldn't care to have to zone with an unkillable mob beating on me.
We killed her just now, but it wasn't easy. My ranger is 44, plus 43 pally, and 43 monk. We're all pretty well off (I wouldn't say twinked, but nice gear nonetheless). She conned dark blue to me at 44, and the pet was aqua.
She was located underneath the bridge into Mistmoore, just outside where the blood wolves and Black Dire is. She has a lot of aquas surrounding her, that tend to add.
She has a damage shield on that is annoying. She hits for 160 a pop sometimes, depending. She is extremely hard to dent, though, her pet is pretty easy to kill. The things you have to look out for is her stunning. She can stun you for about a minute, which almost killed the other party members still fighting, while they were waiting.
She is most definitely underconned compared to the other dark blue mobs around Mistmoore. Some people said she was easy, and perhaps she was for those people, but be careful with her nonetheless.
In our battle, the Pally had to Lay Hands the monk, and even though he did, we still all had 30% life at the end (and next to no mana). After killing her we went invis and she spawns quick! Literally about a minute later. She does not see through invis, though, which is a very good bonus... she didn't drop anything noteworthy... its like she's there to annoy people. Rooting is a good option, to get some downtime to heal, as she's easily rootable. Rooting and running for the exit is a good idea as well.
Just now, a level 60 Beastlord and 60 enc were coming through, and his spells were hitting her for 1000 damage and she still took about 2 minutes to kill. His pet was killed, but they did pretty good work of her.
She's not invincible, but she's no pushover either.
I do not know about invis but she can see camo, I just was killed last night when she showed up in the pit....lucky for my group I know my time was up and told them to run for it.

5 of my guildmates & I "raided" Mistmoore last night, looking for the Black Dire wolf for one of our shammies. We killed several of these Dark Huntresses during the couple hours we were there. Every single one of them was dark blue to my 43rd level wizard.

She is a under con so watch out. Green to me at 54 and I had to run to zone cause she was hitting me for 160+ a shot. Also resisted alot of my spells, when the adds joined in I took off.
Well I duno what you guys talking about. Tee-Hee... hard mob? Same ol story in that she was harrassing lowbies and I was plin in zone so decided to destroy her.
Conned Dard blue... Killed her w/ my 47 ranger and 46 cleric 2 boxing... no outside buffs. (So was using Temperance, Endure Magic, and Ranger Buffs) Had at least half my clerics mana left when it was done and over. Cleric has about 170 wis.
I am no twink either and started on a new server - been on for 4 months. No raid gear. A few decent droppables and plenty of crap gear.
Also had 1 add with her.
As far as magic resistant...every spell of my rangers landed. Burning Arrow, Snare and Root.
I resisted almost all her spells w/ about 150mr buffed and my ranger has lil over 2500hp buffed.
Anyways, she dropped nothing.
EDIT:
Oh yah, all that info about what spells she uses and how much she hits for are accurate.
Ran into this lovely lady yesterday while PL'ing my cleric in Mistmoor with my 56 magician. Normal strategy is just run around with the mage, aggro a crowd of familiars, and bring them back to zone line and let them beat themselves to death on my damage shield. Cleric walks up to the crowd and casts word of pain (PBAE) and takes all xp. Anyway, back to the story.
I ran all the way up to graveyard with 2 familiars in tow, and huntress and pet were at the fence. She /con'd green, so I figured she was just more fodder. Ran back to zone and got ready for the fun. Noticed my health was going down quicker than usual, then noticed she was hitting for a lot more than the familiars. With health going too fast and wanting a better shot at her, I zoned both toons. Healed up, then headed back.
Brought up a 53 air pet, BOIV and Cadeau of flame. Ran back to the graveyard and she was still there. 1 char (820 damage focused) took her pet to 10% health, and my pet finished it off quick. Then it was just her and pet. They went toe to toe for a while, then huntress got off a lucky nuke and was ahead. I started nuking and brought her down. 800 damage nuke dropped her 20% health, so probably 4k hit points.
Wierd thing is, she was green at 56. A level 46 mob should con dark blue to 56. No loot besides about 8 gold.
Light blue at 51: I suspect they've changed the level.
That said, she was the toughest thing I fought on the way in, and she almost managed to kill my 51 Earth pet. Problem is, she lifetaps, so her health was going up while the pet's was going down... I had to nuke her fast, but some stupid green con was beating on me and interrupting the spells.
Corpses poofed before we finished killing the adds, so I guess she doesn't drop anything.
She is in the mid-40s in level range. She appears to roam the entirety of the zone, and seems to be KOS to all.
She is a necromancer, and will cast the necro darkness line (DoT and snare) which will make it very difficult to run from her, as well as the Boil Blood and Venom of the Snake line.
She is completely wrong for this zone. A full group of experience-seekers, meaning the people who are intended to be in this zone, would have serious trouble taking her down. Even if they were able, it would consume a significant portion of their resources to do so, and they would probably find themselves dead from her damage over time spells.
I've been playing the game for over 3 years now, and have two characters over 50th (one 65th mage). When I brought my characters through 30th level, I recall the levels being an incredibly slow and difficult experience.
My wife and I have been hunting here from levels 31 onward. Between her character (Vah Shir Beastlord, from 30th to now 39th), my character (Vah Shir Beastlord, from 31st, to now 40th), and my 2-box (High Elf Cleric, from 30th, to now 39th), we have had little trouble in the zone. However, when the huntress is up the zone becomes nearly unplayable. The zone has enough trouble with trains as it is, with unpredictable pathing, and two castle exits.
My solution, which does not work for everyone mind you, is to relog one of my characters and bring the 65 mage. She is a small challenge, even for him, but I can remove her with reasonable confidence, and the zone becomes playable once again. Then, I relog to our Cleric, and rez (for free, mind you) any lower-level XP'ers who died because SOE decided to put an overpowered mob in a n otherwise excellent XP zone.
I would recommend, if you are guilded, to ask a higher level pet-class (Necromancer, Magician, or Beastlord) to come and dispatch her for you. If not, then I would recommend sending someone to the Plane of Knowledge and asking a higher level character for their help. It might be a while before you get some help, but otherwise, you're gonne be zoning out every couple of minutes.
Mistmoore castle, with our group, resulted in incredible experience from 30-35 in the graveyard area, and from 35-39 pulling mobs from under the castle area (we call it the pit), and the front door area.
We averaged 1-2 ppk (percent-per-kill) throughout all the camps. Once my beastlord hit 39th, the mobs became even easier with my new pet. Once we had 2 Beastlords at 39th, we found we could tear through the mobs like butter. The key to pulling, I found, is to use the Cleric's Lull / Pacify line of spells to keep the pulls to one or two mobs for breaking the camp initially. Once that happens, just keep the spawns broken and you're golden.
Went to MM recently and this mob was spawned near the maid/butler. I had become used to my pet at this point chewing thru mobs with ease (56 necro), and was just exploring a bit. To make a lond story short, she aggroed me, attemped screaming terror on me, aggroing my pet. Because of a small "feature", pets will always kill a mob before turning to the mob's pet if both are in melee range - the Huntress' pet was never touched. And the huntress herself was down to 60% as my pet died. Way underconned, very tough mob.
Guess who we bumped into? Ah, yes! The Dark Huntress! The first time we met her we took her down. The second time we met her, we nearly took her down but we were fighting so close to the zone line it was just easier to zone. Then we discussed it and as the zone was completely empty apart from ourselves, fighting her all of the time wasn't our idea of fun. So we went to PAW again.
If they made sure she isn't spawning at the zone-in every 5 minutes maybe the zone would be a bit more popular. We just med up - go in - get aggroed by her and that's it. It's a one mob zone and frankly she isn't worth the hassle. OK we could be higher level and will be if we return but by then most of the mobs will have turned green con so it makes little sense.
For the record: 35 Wizzy 34 Pally 30 Ranger 32 Druid 32 Beastlord 30 Bard
have seen her about 20 times in the past 2 days. helped kill her once and she had nothing. she kills anything she sees (including me) and spawns anywhere she pleases.
looking at the pic i see something human, while i see her ingame as a willsapper cartoon. Still have to get even with her, for the moment it's Dark Huntress 1 VS Senyene 0.Not sure what class she is the 2 other occasions i had too many adds and evac was best i could do not to let her get further ahead in the score.
Killed her today. She was close to the tower before Torture Room. She did not despawn or anything. She could not see through Improved Invis. Green to 65. Had a pet I rooted. She has approx. 5350HPs. She is a necromancer and looks like a vampire. Casted Snake of Venom on me if I remember correct. Was an easy fight but she can become tough for lvl 30s hunting there. Loot was nothing. No money either.
Yup...same here. I think that lvl 50 thing may be off a bit here. My guess is that shes closer to 45 or 46 albeit, she is definately an overcon. She hits like a 50 with max hits of 100+ on a fairly well armored Paladin and has beau coup hps. Well into the 5000s like others have said.
And like others have said, shes a waste of time. We've killed her twice already and each shes carried nada.

Back about early 2002 my ranger was camping the Maid and butler for the fang's and she popped and depoped on me several times during that long camp, the one time i was able to con her she conned amiable to him, he's a human tunare ranger seems strange if she's a necro.
Just as everyone else, we found this lady in mistmore though she conned indifferent to my 52 paly. Wasnt about to attack her though, cause she conned blue, but blues with skeleton pets are usually pretty tuff. She must have aggroed another of my part cause we had to fight her, hits darn hard and thank goodness for a wandering monk, lay hands and runes cast by a friend or would have died. Hits in the 100s and has alot of hitpoints. She may cast poison spells too, though all she did was hit me.
I'm guessing by reading other posts, that since she killed everything else in sight, player or Mob, that now maybe she doesn't? Seems kind of wierd that someone so powerful and in this place would do that..?
Alright, found her today. 1/6/03. She now has a female vampire look. She still dropped zero loot though, not even a copper. Sounds like she isn't quite fixed.
As for faction, she was KOS to me, though she didn't see through invis. My guess, since she was happily having tea with other Mistmoore peeps is that she is on Mistmoore faction now. Not positive though.
Happy hunting

Always working on more research, will update as I can. Feel free to email with questions or I will post when I can also.
My guild has been to MM alot. We have alot of pallys, so we camp the throne room alot. Then we pull Xicotl to get the hilt. Hard to fit 15+ people in the bedroom. But the last time we went, she was in the Throne room. She of coarse attack us. We had about 13 low 40ish people, and a couple 49lvl pallys. Maybe to many for just one item, but alot of people like to go. She has tons of HP, and a lvl 49 necro pet that was hitting me for 55. Could not get one spell to hit when I was lvl 44 as my necro. Just Lifelap would hit. With a group of 15 40ish people, she took about 2-3 minutes to kill. She didnt kill anyone during the raid there. But here spawn time is very annoying. Each time we killed here, it felt she was back in the throne room in less then 5 minutes. It was not fun hearing are druid saying, Huntress on track. Not again...
me (a 44 cleric), a 54th druid, a 39 warrior, and 39 shaman all heard shouts of the newbs leveling near the zone that something called the dark huntress was killing them all the time, so we decided to go check this mob out. Conned red to me, blue to the 54 druid so we buffed the warrior and he tanked her, his life bar was down to 40 within 30 seconds she was hitting well into the 100's. Druid nuked shaman dotted i healed the warrior and threw in a nuke or 2 seemed to have no resists, took her out quite easily with one near death expiernce. She was kos to us all, don't think this evil women likes anyone. Anyway if you see her and aren't with a strong group of 40+ or are alone pre 60, i'de run if i were you she can't outrun sow cause i ran from her earlier then this fight heh hope this helps.
she doesnt drop jack. we killed her about 10 times while looking for Black Dire, well waiting for him anyway, tons of hp, not too magic resistant I landed E-bolt and slow almost every time. She is definitely no one you wanna tackle alone before 60, mid fifties if you are equipped well and have a healer
No need to kill her for blackdire to spawn, all you need to kill is the advisor. (drops a nice robe as well) and blackdire will spawn. Tip. when walking back over the bridge clean mobs and you have a visual on him hust down. A druid can cast harmony of nature from there on the mobs around him. rest of the party can already clean way to him and blackdire can be singlepulled.
62 Mage here - I haven't been in MM very much in a long time but I was in today to do the Dire for a shammy and I saw this mob plowing through the natives over past the pond in the corner. I think she was trained to the zone in earlier and was making her way back. The shammy warned me about her as I was heading over and when I saw her, I was surprised to see something new in this zone.
I was invis and didn't hang around to see what she was up to (though I did con her as light blue... highest con in MM and it's running around the easiest part). I went over to the chasm in front of the Dire and began to clear a fighting area. A few minutes later little miss cant be wrong is walking up to where I am, a pile of bodies in her wake (not only do I feel sorry for the peeps trying to xp here now, I feel sorry for the poor mistmoore mobs which enjoyed much safer lives before her arrival).
She aggro'd and she and her pet went through 1 of my pets (62 water) by the time her health approached 40 - 50 percent. My second pet took care of the rest. She got one of the boiling line of dots off on me (it did no noticeable damage) but I resisted a bunch of others I didn't pay attention to.
I daresay she's much harder than simply chaining 2 pets makes her sound. If you are in MM for xp and she takes a liking to you, she will eat you and yours for lunch; if you're pre 60ish, beware: she's a nasty bit of business.
I hope that the human model used is not the true form this mob is supposed to take (as suggested by an earlier poster). I'd like to see what they had in mind and I also hope that it signals a MM upgrade.
I am a 51st bard and went in to see if the Catiff was up. I got to the bottom of the ramp at the entrance and took a single spell hit for about 500hp ... I was not impressed - ran back up the ramp and turned to see what had hit me (thinking must have been a left over from a train).
I saw this bold headed woman with just her rags on - what the hell - conned her Dark Blue. She was coming up the ramp now so thought I better zone - but it was just at that point I got hit by some necro root+dot ... I did not live but laughed!
I was on again last night with my level 24 cleric with a 27warrior friend - she came out of nowhere again and made us think about moving to another zone. I have reported it as a bug - this zone is not used enough any way and this will just spoil it if its not fixed :(

Obren Benevolent, Bard to the Marrs.
I can sing all I like. It is up to you if you listen.
Anyone have any clue what faction she's on? You get no faction hits for killing her, she wanders around killing the mobs in the zone, she cons indifferent to me (Erudite Enchanter), but she's KOS to the Dark Elf Mage I was grouped with. *shrugs*
Ran into her several time tonight while trying to get the Black Dire for a young shaman in our guild. Conned dark blue to my 60 warrior, she sticks around zone more now, and popped 3 time in 30 minutes that I saw, killed her once by zone, another group took her down by the zone, and she popped on my arse as i headed for zone after finding both Dire and PH weren't up. She's a lil biatch.
Dark Huntress now hangs around the zone, and is much more common than before when she was random and depopped after a few seconds. She drops nothing, not even a copper. I'd imagine that she's just a random spawn to make the zone more interesting/challenging. Sorta like Sand Giants in Oasis. She isn't very mr at all, never resisted a song. Parsed 2 fights, she has about 10k hp, and relatively decent ac, i had almost 10 less dps on her than I did on her pet (she uses the level 49 necro pet, and it does lifetap). During both fights she used the same pattern, she meleed mostly at the beginning, occasionally casting a fear or screaming terror or a paralyzing earth, but once she hits the 30% hp mark, she lets loose with ignite blood, insidious retrogression, incinerate bones, blast of poison, and dooming darkness. Both fights looked relatively easy, until at the very end. both fights ended with me at about 20% hp, and I was full until she started casting the nasty spells. I'm a level 61 bard, and she was a fairly easy takedown, although I probably would have died the first time i fought her without an ss bp for heals and i even had to get out a BoH to regen enough to offset her dots, they're nasty. I also get the impression that she's not supposed to appear as a naked human (which is the default when you dont have the texture for the mob). I first thouoght this when I noticed that when she cast, the particle effects came from the center of her body (which is what happens when the texture defaults), rather than her hands, as would be the case if she was supposed to be a human. So, I'm interested in seeing just what it is she really looks like, since it's bound to be something unique. She uses the iksar soundbank when she melees and gets hit, but I dont think that's what she is. Any ideas? Gonna /bug it when I log back in.
killed a few times drops nothing when I got to her she was busy killing other MM mobs she argos them for some reason and me, and shes a necromancer between level 50 and 54 was light blue to a level 65
While we were camping Xiconiti, she appeared in the bedroom. We had a decent group with us, so we attacked. It killed 1 person in our party, but we ended up killing it. Upon it's death, it just vanished. Needless to say, we were upset that we couldn't loot it.
Well I was camping the Avenging Caitiff in the staircase right by the bridge and the tower. All the sudden I see the Dark Huntress cast a few buffs on top the staircase then a second later the Avenging Caitiff spawns...I dunno if its some sort of connection or not but thats my encounter with her ^_^
i saw her right up close and personal. was farming mistmoor and entered piano room and there she was buffing herself right in front of me. she conned dark blue to me (i'm 56 magician). she didn't attack me. i turned to deal with the other mobs in the room and when i turned around again she was gone. her title was just as it says, dark huntress. didnt know who she was until i came across this forum tonight. after reading the info here i guess i'm to believe that i am incredibly lucky that she did not attack me. i wasn't with a group, just my lonesome. mathus majere 56 magician on the rathe server.
ok guys here what i know about the Dark Huntress. alot of this info came from very good friends and long time player. ok she a random pop in the zone and she is only there for the time it take to cast one buff on herself. after that she will depop about 10 sec or so. She looks like a human female newbie ("naked"). When I saw her, she spawned in the passage that leads from the newbie pond to the graveyard. i have asked a GM friend about her and was told noone to date has ever killed her. when i asked about her loot i got no reply so i did not push it. if you can cast or melee her before she get her one buff casted she can be attacked without her depoping. she coned dark blue to me at lvl 51 and have been told she is very under coned. she seem to pop in alot i have seen casting text from her 3 or 4 time in one night of raiding the zone. if you ask me about it i say it would have to be a blue moon before anyone could kill her. having the group or groups to kill her and having the luck for her to pop in on top of your raid is the only way anyone could take her down. i hope this info help you guys and good luck to anyone going after her;o)
She looks like a human female newbie ("naked"). When I saw her, she spawned in the passage that leads from the newbie pond to the graveyard.
I suspect that she can spawn anywhere. In fact, since she spawned right at the spawn point of a pledge initiate (or something similar) the very moment I killed it, I suspect that there is a miniscule chance for her to spawn any time a mob in mistmoore is killed.
I wasn't near enough to draw aggro from her, and as i conned her and started asking people what she was, she blinked out (was there for 2 seconds). I didn't know if she had despawned or hidden, but i walked past her spawn point and nothing happened, so my best guess is the former is the case (she was scowling at me when i conned her -- and dark blue).
you know i think imma take a few friends to mistmoore this week to find out the age ol question.. im curious to know if she drops anything to.. ill post if she does.. taygarr wiz of the 55th season the seventh hammer
First and only time I saw her was a few weeks after the Advisor was created. A small group us 50+ were camped in the library area and we kept seeing her cast. Finally right in mid-fight with room spawn and pulls, she pops right in where the Advisor spawned. She laughed exactly like the Maestro and she hit like a SOB. We weren't buffed for a real fight and only managed to get her to 25% or so before our cleric was oom. She resisted about 75% of my stuns (level 57ish at the time). I didn't have tash loaded since we were just fighting ash and trash, so I dont' know if it would have made a great difference. Needless to say, we CR'd and she was nowhere in sight.
Someone must have killed her at least once. Come on people post your stuff. If she's that highly magically resistant that probably means she's got some really really good loot !! A.k.a black reavers in CoM prolly i can think of from top of my head.
Khmm was wondering about this mob. I was camping dhampyre for like 5 nights and giving out essences to some lower levels *waves to syraties* here on drinal. One night while camping my guy, i heard Dark Huntress casts a spell. Wow, I thought I remember seeing this mob, wasn't sure whether she was lvl 50 or not. However, I didn't dare to check her out lol, I can barely gate when a few green mobs pound on me lol but with huntress that would be flat out impossible. :) Can someone please post what does she drop? Gotta be something good or for really ultra rare quest.
We were wiped out by this mob about a year ago. She spawned in the music room as far as we could tell. Then she systamatically droped everyone of us. She had MASSES of HP, and was almost totally magic resistant (i didn't land anything druid 40). Luckily she dosnt seem to spawn that much..
