Found him at the Vamp castle. He wanders around with about 5 to 6 bats that like to disrupt your casting >< Green to 69, but had a hell of a time getting spells off as almost every other hit those damn bats were stunning me. Took me about 3 or 4 tries before finally draining the guy of his life. Had a lot of buffs on me HP was 14,676. Bats didn't despawn when the Bloody Vampire died. I ended up tapping the remaining 5 bats to death although by this time my pet had long bit the dust. The bats dropped snacks such as Sugar Bears. Bloody Vampire Dropped a Bloody Vampire Cloak Magic, Lore, No Trade, Quest Item. And Bloody Vampire Fangs Magic, No Trade, Quest.

Oddest thing. I was camping the fabled mobs in the vampire castle tonight, and decided to sit on the balcony. After about a minute three Infernal bats spawned, grey to a 75. Dropped:
Pumpkin Candy Magic Item NoTrade Str, Dex, Sta, Agi +6 ; HP +20. This is a snack WT 0.0 Size Tiny Class: All Race: All
Dunno if sitting there caused them to spawn or what. Was right beside the little table on the balcony. Has not been repeatable so far. Have never seen them in the zone before, and they aren't listed here.
Also ran into the Fabled Horatius Grolden who dropped the Fabled Fist of Iron. I didn't kill him and don't remember what the stats of the weapon were but they were decent. When he died, he spawned the Fabled Valdanov Zevfeer, who was up for a while and then poofed when no one killed him. Both of them spawned where the regular versions spawn in the castle.
immune to melee, he's a necro, hit my berserker that has 26% shielding for an average of 550ish. casts a lot. Easy kill with almost any kind of caster dps and someone that can tank with resists. I'm sorry I didn't catch spell names, nothing landed on the ber who's resists average 470. He dropped fabled vampyre volatilis ashes which was an aug, which was useable on your charm! I believe it was something like 70 or 80 h/m/e. Sorry I don't have a picture of the drop, but he does exist, and the aug is ok. Passed it to the lesser geared toon that was in zone and had done the work of spawning him after we teamed up to kill him.
The reason you could not hurt him melee is because you need vampyre bane weapons to hit him, just like his non-fabled version. Katta sells blessed wooden stakes that should work against him, though Zerkers are pretty screwed on weapons that affect him. The only 2-handers with Vampyre bane on them that I know of are Pally only
Aehm .. I am missing the "a grimling foreman" in the list! .. He isnt a new mob, so I am a bit irritated?!! At least he is the toughest Grim in the zone .. even if he isnt very common...

For slaying a Coterie Legionnaire the following faction adjustments are made. Coterie of the Eternal Night got worse Validus Custodus got better. Nathyn Illuminious got better. Valdanov Zevfeer got worse.
On September 27, 2004 I was just outside of Katta looking for and killing dire wolves. My search method was to use Sense Animals. To my surprise, I sensed a RED animal named Disciple of Focus. Because the spell targets the mob automatically, I could con it, finding that it conned indifferent to a Wood Elf Druid, level 65. I took it off target and tried to track, finding the animal not on track. Later, the Sense Anmials found this Disciple of Focus again. This time I decided to follow the mob and the appearance is that of a dire wolf. I did a hail. The response was as follows:
Before you have a chance to ask any further questions the Disciple says, "We have no reason to speak. Please let me continue my medications."
Took him down with my 65 Druid and 65 BL. Was close the first time as I did not have the right spells up. He is very resistant to magic none of my stuns would land and immune to slow did not try snare. Also I was unable to land Hand of Ro or Summers Flame. On the other hand even with out E'cii I was able to land my BL nukes and once I switched to Cold my Rain spells landed for full damage and 65 Cold nuke the same with these spells loaded from the start would be able to finish up pretty quick.
Was here the other day and killed the Coterie Corruptor a few times each time he dropped "A Soulstone Shard" anyone know if this is used for anything? Thanks :)
He is like valdanov, invulnerable to the normal melee damage. Probably requires bane weapons. Doesn't hit too hard, and doesn't resist much. He may be a replacement for the earlier quest guys or be for epic 2.0 for some class. I only had a cleric and paladin there, so wasn't worth the hours of nuking it would require to kill him. I'd say he has roughly 20K hps and decent regen.
Fully slowable like Valdanov, same abilities for sure. Basically a mini Valdanov only cause of the lower HPs. Hits for a low 300. Didn't take hours to nuke him down.
66war/65clr/65wiz/65shm. Shaman slowed him easy enough, I never used bane weapons (my procs landed nicely though, two 179dds, a 125dd, and 100dd procs on my weapons), cast Draught of E'ci over and over for approx 1k a pop plus 2k crits now and again on the wizzie, cleric nuked more than he had to heal, gave the shaman pet 2 bane weapons shortly into the fight once I realized he was like Valdanov. Mob went down fast.
Dropped "Volatile Vampyre Blood". No idea what it's for. Probably someone's epic 2.0, but after putting more than 80+ hours into this camp for Heratius to spawn and never seeing him I'm "PRAYING" that this item is a part of an alternate quest for the ashes.
Here's the thing that I'm not sure on. Is this guy a place holder for Heratius now or not? Friend of mine who has substantial luck finding Heratius up over and over everytime one of his guildies needs a shield said he kept this mob clear. What I noticed, was that when I first got there to waste my time at the spawn (since he never spawns while "I'm" there heh) was that I fought the vampyres right in front of this new guy without problems... but then when I pulled one of the little greenies "through" the Coterie initiate he ASSISTED. So it appears that he has a "very very" small assist range. Very small in that you can fight mobs near him, but just not practically on top of him. You can fight on the balcony, but if you get too close with the mob he'll add. This worries me, cause Heratius spawns right where this guy is at. So, if Heratius happens to be up when you get there, I fear you'll have to fight both at the same time. Unless someone else can confirm that Heratius won't spawn unless this guy is dead.
From what I've seen the Heratius spawn, as well as Vladanov, is unchanged. They spawn in the same spot as they did before. I was able to pull both back to the top of the stairs on the top floor without aggro from neither the initiate or the corruptor. They were both up at the time.
Took ina down solo, kited him like all the others he resisted fire a few times tho. when i pulled the corruptor none of my fire nukes landed but some magic did, never tried ice(i am a wizard btw) when i did actually bring him down he summoned me, unlike any of the other vamps in the castle, and i had to evac, the inat droped some Voltile Vampyre Blood, lore, no drop, magic...identifies as just its name :(. o and hit me for a max of 491(corr only hits for 381 yet he summons /boggle) (no defensive aa) both of these guys are at the top of the castle, ina is on the balcony in the midde agianst the wall, corruptor is right on the other side of the wall in the castle. hope this helps.
edit: i am max kos to the castle both of the guys are kos to me but the ina did not agro me when i ran up i instagated the agro.
Along with the Coterie Corruptor there is a Coterie insatiate who is on the balcony. The "Coterie Corruptor" spawns on the 3rd floor, is immune to slow, summons, flurries and HT'd me for 881. Max hit I took otherwise was 381. The "a Coterie insatiate" con'd indifferently to me (barb bst) and did not respone to hails. Invis's himself like the others do.
hey i just killed a cotier corrupter in the castle he is unslowable and unresistant landed everydot every time but he quads for 250 and kill all the vampires around him he dropped one thing the soulstone shard looks like a arrow head
Seems to be able to chain cast an 881 harmtouch... pet writhed in the grip of agony 3 times in under 5 seconds, died, healer got summoned and harmtouched, then I got summoned and harmtouched, then the evac hit... counted 5 harmtouches of 881 in under 10 seconds total.
Fought this same guy. He resisted all my chants from a lvl 65 bard. The weird thing is that he resisted my magic based chants but Scream of Pain, a magic based DD, landed every single time.
I took him down to 97% when he started summoning. Since I didn't feel like trying to kill a summoning mob 134pts at a time, I faded him off and he eventually returned to his spot in the castle.
My DD's did 1% each time so I'm guessing he has around 13k-15k hitpoints. Probably an epic 1.5 or 2.0 mob. After a time he shouted a zonewide "I am leaving now but I will return!" but when I went to check on him, he hadn't gone anywhere. Poor Trxie gets ganks whenever he paths near him

Found 2 mobs at vamp camp located at pos 1286 neg 528 its near the castle, that are not on the list they are indiff and green to a lvl 61 names are Lyrra Rutledge and Aellana Barleou when haild she says
"the Coterie of the Eternal Night is holding us captive! We can not leave until all the Vampyres that reside in this village have beend destroyed! If any of them are missing i assure you they will return! my brother Joanius us an experienced vampyre slayer and will coming for us soon!"
Ok I note that Felodious Sworddancer is not listed in the Bestiary but I always see him in the 1st cave from the Grimling Forest zone-line. Also I note that the "a Grimling Foreman" is not listed either and they spawn here too. I've been farming this zone for a while, I think its about time for an update.
As far as I know all the named vamps are immune to changes in runspeed, a.k.a, no rooting or snaring possible. If you're a caster going up against them, the only guy you need to worry about is the warrior vamp. Just get SoW and Lev yourself OR SoE and pull him outside the castle, get your distance and cast, wash repeat until he's dead. The other vamp casters you don't need to worry about, rarely will their attemps at melee hit you or interrupt your casting.
I found this guy in the closest grimling cave to grimling forrest. Does anyone know what he is for? Talks about a story of a gnome who cried kobold and a story about an ogre who was tested by Rallos Zek and how Zek gave him 2 great sword and a red scabbard. anyone know if he is for a quest for swords or something?

When is Illia going to put up some information about Valdanov Zevfeer?
We tried him with a pretty crappy full group (all melee bard slower, 2 clerics) and we had him down to 50% before he started quadding 1k lifetap procs :( i need to kill him to finish my loyalist shield of honor quest... we need info please!
Took him down yesterday fairly easily with me (65 bard) holding aggro by chant kiting. Had 65 wizzie, 64 cleric, 65 mage, 65 beastlord, and 61 beastlord. Mage and beastlords gave their pets bane weapons to use against him. We pulled him away from the castle so that we could avoid adds. Just nuke him before he gates at 12 to 15 pct. He does not summon, but he does cast paralyzing earth, screaming terror(fear), bonds of force(snare, I believe). He can also cast a nasty dot, but being a bard, I just dispelled the dot and any spells that he landed with Aria of Ascetism and Syvelian's Anti-Magic Aura. He also mezzes, which will clear the aggro, meaning that if you become mezzed, he will attack someone other than the person he just mezzed. Just have decent magic resists up (over 150) and you should be fine. Sang Psalm of Veeshan and resisted all of his spells everytime the song was up. Only got hit by spells when I got too confident and didn't sing it. From what I saw, he will despawn in about 30 minutes if not engaged, since I spawned him once and while waiting for more group members to come help, he despawned. Initially, I tried to kite him, but had a tough time getting his HPs below 90pct since I was twisting a resist song and 3 dots. His regen is pretty decent. I'll bet 2 levl 65 bards could kite him to death; it would take a while though. One could chant kite while the other manadrains, debuffs, and sings any other song of their choice that complements the other bard. Had to camp castle another 3 hours to get him to respawn. Then, I just pulled him to keep him from despawning while waiting for other grp members. He can not be mezzed and can not be snared or rooted, but I believe he can be slowed.
curious to lvl a necro could hunt in this zone? And if so are the mobs in the castle undead? If so necros slow on undead (shakle of spirit)would work very nice in this zone. Or is it resisted alot? Just looking for alittle info on this zone. The upgrades dropped would be nice for my necro but hate walking blindly into a zone I know nothing about. Thanks
What level range are those Coterie Legionnaires and Scouts (still missing in the mob list)? They always scare me to death, popping out of nowhere due to their invis capability. I might be wrong, but I think they could NOT be charmed... :-/
And what about Kerzar, the Vah Shir for Vampyre Trouble quest?
Ok as usaul there is this npc thats not on list! wondering why as i am payin to have this type of info but nothing there! Someone not doing there job of posting npc! Anyone know who and what he is for? He's by the ent to Katta?

Unfortunetely, it's a piercing weapon, and can't be dual weilded, but still, I think buying a few and outfitting a bunch of pets with them could be a VERY good tactic against the Vampyres.
ok, check this,im on my alt straycat 36 bst,fightin by sanctus seru on the tallon zek server.so i get lost pullin a mob,an i get adds,so im lookin for a zone to pop into,an i see what looks to be a zone entrance. So i haul butt into it right, go through one room and up some stairs still running, and then all of a sudden I have what seems to be something like twelve mobs to be on me, which later i find out to be Cotiere's and some other things that look like spectres. And of course I die, very quickly. Then I find out that what I ran into was the cotiere castle! We call in a druid frind of mine, and he realizes what it is and says we will never get my body back from where it is especially since i was so far in. OH, and this isn't all, the spectre lookin things are undead, so they see through invis. So between the three of us, cause we had Kittiey too, we devised a plan, (yeah right). Firt we had to pull the cotiere gaurds off the front of the castle, now mind you, none of us, not even as group could kill them at our lvl, so the druid had too aggro them and run into the zone to try and get the entrance clear at least for a few seconds. Then I invis'd and SOW'd, hauled butt inside the castle and had drag corpse on a macro, clicked on my corpse turned around and ran out, with once again, a dozen mobs on me, made it out the entrance, (somehow), and died very shortly thereafter out in TM, losing my corpse somewhere yet to be determined because I got lost looking for the zone to grimling forest. Then had to go back for the second time, which BTW was 5 zones from Shadow Haven, which was my spawn point, before we had pop. Even with it though it would still have been a long trek. And my druid friend, had just gotten healed and mana back by the time I got back, had to find my corpse and drag it to the grimling zone line, all in all a rather exciting and allmost impossible corpse retrieval for what we had to work with, lol. Just thought i would share this story since we now laugh about it but are scared of those buggers, and will one day go back for our REVENGE!
Next time someone dies inside the cortie castle it would be a good idea to just prance over to Katta Castleium and /ooc for help because there is always people killing guards there which gives them good faction with coterie. I am an ally with the vampires. Not that i like being Kos with Katta guards but its good experience and Seru is an opposing faction, so alls i got to do is farm aa points off Seru guards and I will go back to zero.
They Aliens are the only things that really con db to my 53 Bst in this zone now. I never notice anyone killing these things though...I was wondering why, because they go down really easy with just my pet on them, and they seem to give ok experience. There is 4 different factions involved in killing these things and i was wondering if any of them even matter. I usually kill GY guards in Katta with 2 others but the experience isnt all that good...I can get uber experience soloing the hole but it is an evil teritory so I frequently run into evils there unless I'm there at 3am. Soloing Katta guards is nice, but they are hard to single pull with a Bst considering they are all db to me.
Today, at the 2-hut coterie camp in SE corner of zone (just north of tunnel from Grimling Forest) we saw 2 named vamps spawn in the huts...
1. Kristov Otto (conned DB to 46) [Thu Jan 30 12:18:50 2003] Kristov Otto was hit by non-melee for 585 points of damage. [Thu Jan 30 12:18:50 2003] Kristov Otto staggers.

Dropped Coterie Shoulderpads
and
2. Tymoz (also conned DB to 46) Dropped Coterie Sleeves Same faction hits as above
Erronn Goodheart 46 High Elf Cleric The Noble Collective Prexus Server
Those are very old mobs. Tymoz is one of the first Luclin mobs I killed.
I guess you are saying new since they are not listed here. I've noticed that of late, like 90 percent of the mobs are not listed in a lot of these zones. I guess I'm more aware of names since I have track.
Right, I have a lvl 39 Troll Shaman that I'm looking to level up here. What are the odds of that happening well enough? Was sick of many of the other zones and finding a group can be tough. Also, if I were to level here, what would I hunt? Thanks in advance,
At 39, I wouldn't touch this zone... You'd have trouble even surviving through Grimling Forest to reach it...
What I DO suggest is The Grest Divide, Eastern Wastes, or Iceclad Ocean.

This is a terrific zone for shaman to level from 44 to 49. From 44 to 46, level at the Grimling zoneline. Mobs tend to be a bit lower level here. Just get a KEI, get a punt to Grimling, slow, pull to entrance, sic pet, dot, root, and sit. By the time the dark blue has taken a dirt nap you are ready to repeat. Was leveling almost every 5 hours by doing this. Once you hit 46 or 47, run to the Katta zoneline. The critters are a little higher level there. Pull the wolves and aliens to near the guards at the entrance. Note: Bats are KoS to the guards so if you pull them too close they will be taken by the guards. Jabbezz-52 paladin Elihu-48 Shaman

Give me a place whereon to stand,a fulcrum strong enough,a lever long enough, and I will move the world
Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I just hit 44 last night and wanted to start leveling there. What do you suggest I pull at first? I noticed the Coterie were in groups of three so they didn't seem to app, but maybe they aren't as tough as they look. I see a few aliens and the occasional grimling. I'm not sure about what I should do about the mobs that can't be rooted or snared. This is my first character past 35 so I'm still very much new to this. Throw in PvP as well and I'm slowly, but surely becoming a more well-rounded PC.
People name the 200pt life tap the coterie proc as the "unresistable lifetap", atleast in most of the posts I've read, I have not seen it mentioned otherwise. I have a couple times resisted a proc off of them called "drain soul", so if this is the name of the lifetap they proc, then it is not unresistable, just very hard to resist. I'm sory if this already has been posted.
I tried to tag team them last night (2boxed) and I had the damn fight under control until I got adds...anyways lol. 56 Pally, 61 Shammy. Anyways, if I coulda landed any of the shammy's dots, Xenth woulda been dead before I waited too long to ghetto cheal myself. I malo'd the sucker and he resisted 2 bane of nife and 2 pox of bertox. While I was still wondering why the fook resisted 4 times, I noticed Tweed was down to one bub of health, hit the cheal button...alas too late, that lovely view of yourself from the top down takin a nap and wakin up without your gear.
Anyways, should I give up on poison and disease based dots on these guys? Or did I get unlucky?

Why don't the gray and black wolves spawn anymore? Is there some way to make the vampyres turn into wolves, or did Verant just get rid of these monsters?
Anyone seen the named Coterie Galinious? He hit me with a DD I believe of 520hp and a life drain for around 200hp. Not sure what he drops. Zoned into Kat.
Was most likely an HT you got hit with, and the lifetap is the one all the vamps have. He's just one of the normal named in one of the camps, no special drops or anything that i've seen
Kristov Otto says "It is a shame when the cattle is rebellious. I much prefer to feed from the living rather than the corpses of the freshly dead." (gulp, I'm low health and low m) Kristov Otto hisses revealing menacing fangs and lunges ferociously at it's prey!
Hmm, I'm hiding above the zone to gf and cannot see the action and I stay hidden. Any clue who or what that was? Drael
A clue is all I have. He is a named Coterie, came from "camp 5" on the eqatlas map and conned dark blue to 54. Hit me with a 521 HT and a couple 200 point lifetaps, at which point I decided that what I needed was a nice walk in Grimling Forest.
Legionnaire Doctalious, human warrior type. spawned near zone go gf just before the Cot. Scout that preceeds the runner. He was db and indiff to 43 paladin. When hailed "Welcome to Katta Castellum brave traveler! ...." Warns of vampires.
