I had a 55 BST, 55 SHM, 55 CLR, and we did the phase spiders easy - slow the adds etc. Essentially 3 at 55 and you can do the spiders in your sleep. We went down the slanted hatch near zl, and the amorphous mass adds where really hard to target. The first mob is easy - but the re-spawns make it hard for the shammy to slow - leading to confusion and a death. The mobs are still LB - but if you can't slow - they chew your healer up fast.
found a new mob named "Echoman" in the outerchamber of Jaled Dar's Shade room. Cons grey to my lvl 72. dont hav ethe key so i could not get close enough to hail him.
Seems like an awful lot of light blue mobs at 60 for a "level 60 hot zone". And so far I haven't seen anything higher than a dark blue con. Kind of negates the "hot zone" advantage doesn't it? Not to mention being a far away zone and having a lot of adds and all. Doesn't seem very worth it. Guess that's why the zone is almost always empty still, everyone went to WoS.
if you feel unchallenge try WoS, you still get an XP bonus even if you are under/over the "reccomended" level ranges for the hot zones. Pretty sure it just has to do with a code that is applied to any XP hit taken inside the zone no matter of the player's level.
spawned and despawned in a matter of about 4 or 5 minutes, didn't get to engage. As appears to be with Vaniki no PH but extremely fast window of opportunity. Was in the enclosure north of the chetari tunnels, by the time I had cleared an area I planned on fighting her she was despawned, what a let down.
To get to Dragon Necropolis from POK: Get a druid or wizard to give you port to cobalt scar, run northwest over water and find zone to Siren's Grotto (underwater). Zone into SG and then have druid / wizard succor (evac) you to other side of the zone. Then zone into Western Wastes. Use Invis here if your Claws of Veeshan faction is not good cause dragons will eat you. When you in WW, use map to find zone in to Dragon Necropolis (DN). It's kinda in middle of zone. GOOD LUCK and happy hunting.

very helpful post ... NOT the dracoliche spawns after u kill vesthon or somethin for the bard epic 2.0 .. the dark orb rolls from his hands and reanimates her and u fight .. and win and get the dark orb to continue your quest
btw the 90% of u that posted completely off target should learn to read .. this isnt the shade it isnt a rat or a spider or a trap dragon construct nor is it zlandicar or a 1group mob. learn to post correct info or nothing ... its not hard

New dragon ghost in DN as of the 28th Sept Hsagra's Shade, cons red to 66. She's in the room where the Chetari all stand around the fire right at the end of DN. Guild members are telling me she was Yelinak's wife who was killed when the giants invaded Skyshrine.
There are 2 new MOBs that are at the front of the zone near the Phase Spiders. "Excavator Quellin" and "A Mercenary Excavator". Both are a yellow con to me (59 Druid of Tunare), and "Scowl". Anyone know what they are for? Also the Phase spiders are dropping a new item, "spirit-touched phase spider thorax"...magic/no-drop...but not lore. Got 2 in about an hour, not listed here on Allakazam. any ideas? Thanx!! :)
Mercenary excavators conned blue to me at 66. They are snarable, don't summon, and have approx 25,000 HPs. They have pretty low resists so easy to kill for a wizard.
Have found A Chetari Hoarder and A Chetari Packrat, both DB to 65, added mobs down before Zland on that platform that use to have no mobs, static spawns now.
While here I foraged a Rotting Dragon Scale its no drop was just wondering if its used for anything. Got 3 of them so waiting to figure out what they are for before I trash them. Thanks :)
I have decided to lead a small raid there in a week or so.. if I could get some info on what trap triggers there are and such I would appreciate it, otherwise ill spend alot of time and money rezzing myself to rigure things out :P
Spawns in any of the 3 named spots like Vaniki. I found him up behind the waterfall just past the entropy serpents. Your stats are way off though, hits for 600ish, flurries, 25kish hp. Snareable/rootable/stunnable/slowable. Only thing that won't work on it is mezz. Made short work of it with wizard / enchanter, just charmed and hasted a nearby rat, and sent it in while DPSing/rooting with the wizard. The items are for Phara Dar's quest in Veeshan's Peak
Wandering around in DN encountered to mobs not listed here, a great green slime, and a chetari courier, both red to my 46 druid scout. Courier saw invis and killed me... stoopid little rat.
Why in the world do you call it DRAGON necropolis and your more likely to see a bunch of rats.. creeeeepy. There kinda cute but creeepy non the less. Is there some reason rats would live in a place where gigantic dragons that could gulp there civilization and or stomp on there civilization?
Dragon Necropolis = dragon graveyard. What else would you expect to see in a dragon graveyard other than spiders, rats, and maybe the occasional exiled dragon...
If I remember correctly, the first race of ratmen were the Paebala, formerly simple rats, they "evolved" because they ate the flash of the fallen dragons. All ratmen found on Norrath are offspring of the Paebala tribe. The leader of the Paebala is called Neb and they oppose the Chetari, led by Vaniki. Vaniki, the witch, sought more than the simple life of the Paebala (who worship nature spirits) and walked up to Zlandicar, offering him her service and the loyality of her followers. Zlandicar was pleased since his freedom is limited to the walls of Dragon Necropolis and gifted the Chetari with the power over life and death, in other words, he taught them necromancy and enhanced them with his dragon magic. Zlandicar uses the Chetari as couriers, agents and weapons against the Paebala who (in his eyes) steal his food (that's pretty much everything he's concerned about) :P (as a dragon he encounters a few problems in eradicating the Paebala who live in small tunnels and caves :P). Vaniki turned her back on Neb and began to enslave the Paebala tribe to abuse them as slaves, sacrifices to Zlandicar and...clothing. That's why Neb wants to see Vaniki and Zlandicar dead and offers the key to Jaled Dars lair in exchange for their hearts.
The Claws of Veeshan don't mind the presence of the Paebala, if they even noticed their existence, also they don't care much about Zlandicar (one of the greatest punishments in dragon society is to be erased from the dragon collective who shares some kind of soulbond), in their eyes, his fate is much worse than everything they could ever do to him.
was in DN scouting zlandi the other day, and came upon a rat name pierre, lvl 60 and backstabbed so im guessing a rogue, didnt kill him so i dunno what he dropped anyone else ever seen this guy?
I was wondering around the zone last nite, invis of course, and I saw a message pop up on my screen, "you have disturbed a magi construct"
I failed to ever see this mob, but I did see that is was DB to me on track, and soon after seeing that message, I was being nuked. Bad part is that I was around a table full of spiders and my invis dropped when this thing nuked me.
I would say he was same lvl as the spiders, so 47 to 50.
Just thought I would give ya a heads up on this unlisted trap/mob.

After storming threw the "partial revamp" of SG, I thought I'd check here ..
One of the biggest things I noticed right away is it seems the Phase Spiders don't "phase" anymore /cheer, also heard that the queen is popping again (can't personally confirm this though).. As I didn't have extensive knowledge of DN pre-vamp, I'm not to sure what's new post-vamp. But, after going from zone in to Zlandicar's lair and everywhere in between, I either had the best luck not hitting trap's (or being caught with see invis) or there's a noteable difference ..
Plz post any other findings =)

Found this mob in the upper level of the zone, in the room where the Queen spawns. Anyone else kill this new mob? I killed it easily and it dropped nothing. Maybe just a PH for the Queen now? Or a rare drop item from it? Anyone know?
Actually the Odd lookin spider is now the trigger mob for Queen whatever, notice that it spawns in the same room as the queen. Once you kill the Odd lookin spider, it starts a 24 spawn killer for the queen. My advice is kill it when there is a low player activity on yer server. Should be looting a Queen's Carapice the next day or so 8) Hope this helps all out there....now to find those dern Paebala's lol
pretty sure this is a quest from the revamped hole, he is a turn in NPC. cant remember the quest but you should be able to find it uinder the guardian of the seal mob in the hole
Me a 57 druid with no epic an a 56 warrior soloed the zone area. He would pull and I would snare root and Dot until 30% then warrior would wade in. As stated above be prepared as root does break alot.We could do three before I would have to med have KEI and HOV. Mana pool of 3460. Also on the dragon construct you must be under the dragon and you can get all your spells to land LOL, Thanks to Greagle for that tip.
In the back of DN there is some lava and I went swiming in it for fun. Fond this mob called A lava keeper Blue to me and conned ally. Didn't respond to hails or anything.
I'm level 62 druid and had no interest in trying to kill it but I think its on CoV faction cuase that about the only thing I am ally to....
could a 53 backstabber 55 enchanter 51 druid and some kind of priest class take the phase spiders? with the fear kite/ snare method? with me the backstabber blending them extremely fast?
Was wondering if anyone knew what mob in DN drops the GOLDEN DRAGON CLAW? Apparently there is no info on the quest I need this for ANYWHERE on the net so I'm going by word of mouth.
If you know feel free to email me or post here Turkey_j@hotmail.com.
Everytime my guild tries to get to Zlandicar's lair, someone has to set off a trap cuz they don't follow instructions and stick to right wall. Many times have I gone through that hall and never set off traps. So a word to the wise, if u've never been to DN, or atleast to Zlandicar's lair, FOLLOW the leaders instructions and do not run straight through the hall. Hug the right wall at all times unless told otherwise.

Spawned the trap in the Chetari area the other day, but instead of the usual beetles, "a voracious hatchling" spawned. Seven of them.
They look like baby phase spiders about the size of the swarming beetles, they proc shadow step just like the big spiders.
Phase was very annoying down there becuase people kept getting phased into the rat tunnel and we kept getting rat adds while trying to deal with the spiders. We eventually just evaced out because it was really getting out of control.
How many people would I need to be able to hunt the big rat fellahs? I've got a 60enchanter, a 52warrior, a 55cleric, a 51 warrior,52necro,and 56warrior. Would that be enough or will we get owned horribly?
You should do fine with this group, but if you move down the rat hole in the chetari area you will have to kill the bugs that spawn from the trap there unless you bring a rouge/bard to disarm it.
Need to have a monk tag along to single pull them and to add some damage. Adds are annoying and can be very hard to mez. You will also prolly want an evacer with you as you cannot run to zone reliably from where the rats are. Have your enchanter keep Gok and Rapture ready. Dazzle isnt even worth keeping memed here. btw, if you are lookin to get to the rats, invis up and just move past the spiders, careful not to step on bones, ect. You may know this but by your question, i am assuming you are new to the zone =)
How do you reach the Paebala camp? I can get to the first pool of water with the entropy Serpent, under the AMorphous Mob area, but I can't get up that tunnel.
Is there some way through the door over by the entrace to shortcut there? Or do I have to grav flux up?
For all you people asking about whether or not you'd get a group there, probably not. Dragon Nec is pretty much a raid only zone (or small group for the yard trash but that's still 'bring your own group'). Even a kickass lvl 60 would have to have really really good timing to just walk in and find some action (and be good at sneaking into other people's raids unanounced; i.e. not recommended).
