North Karana is the "nexus" of the Karana Plains. Despite the dangers of the roaming lions, wolves, bears, griffons, and occasional hill giant, this place is quite the player-friendly area: Here, you'll find a few guard watch towers for aid, a gypsy camp with vendors, and a druid ring and wizard spires for porting.

Speaking of guard watch towers, North Karana is home to what may be the most active guards in all of Norrath. The tower in the center of the zone is in the path of many a wandering animal and keeps its guards fighting off trouble on a steady basis. They win most of their battles, but occasionally lose, particularly when the opponent is an upper level hill giant, griffon, or GrimFeather.

Silver Griff Feathers

Anyone figured out what the feathers are for? I assume a jagged pine quest, but has anyone completed it and know what to do with the feathers yet?

I killed this mob last night on the Rathe.
Conned light blue to me at 58. Just like everyone else stated. Can't be rooted or snared.
Had trusty SOE on and pulled it with winged death. Took about 3 of those to kill him.

He dropped Silver Griffon Feathers, and a few plat. Took some screenshots too, that I will submit later today. Also should mention that the feathers are no drop.

I was fishing near the bridge when I hit track and saw a SILVER GRIFFON. Never saw it before in NK, and was dark blue to me (53 druid). Had an idea that it was un-rootable, so I hit it with winged death. Then tried root and got message that his speed could not be slowed. I had wolfform on and started to kite by running around in circles. Got a breath of Ro to stick. Keep running and got hit quite a few times (He hits for max of 71 and avg of 35)while trying to cast. Got him down to 15% health and I was down to 50%. Two rangers helped me (thanks to Lonain(48) and Akgriz(44)) and he went down. Dropped 5PP and NO-DROP feathers. Let Akgriz loot the feathers.

Make sure you are well prepared before you take him on.

I killed one today on 7th hammer as well same thing few plats and the feather. Wached it kill the two guards and it still had half life. It cast fear on one guard than it stayed and wacked on other. Once guards were dead it too me one winged death to drop it.

Took down the silver griff as a 40 druid on vaz with some help from the gaurds. Conned white so apparently he's exactly 40. As previously stated he can't be rooted or snared. Dropped a few pp and the feathers.
Downed Silver Griff Twice

We downed him twice last night. Two level 42 Shaman. Conned dark blue to me. Resisted about everything except Togor's and Winters Roar. We just slowed him, sent in pets and then played pinball with him by alternating dd's between us. Both times dropped feather

The feathers are used for the rare and elusive tunic of jaggedpines, I cannot explain further other than you'll have to find the mob giving the quest out for yourself. Don't wanna ruin the fun of doing a rare quest

I killed this mob the other day. He did drop the feather and some plat. Luckly I sow. I stunned him and ran. However, he flys as fast as sow or even faster. I kited him to the spires. Where a lvl 30ish wiz helped..did little help but did help. Finally took him down. Bleu to 52 cleric.

hello, noticed the silver griff also on trov server, so i had to try, he was blue to a 54 ranger. every ensnare failed and panic animal doesn't work on him either. he can hit hard, well not too hard just lots of times. my ac is at 970 and the cleric i was traveling with had to Sheal me 3 times. Still wondering what the feathers are for, if you find out please post I will if I find out.

Myself and two other level 39'ers ran into him in WEST Karana. Not North Karana. Wondering if it is the same mob and he travels zones? He was near the zone to NK and beat the snot out of us before we could do much to him. Again, very resistant to snares and roots, as well as most other spells we threw at him.

Killed him myself just now on AB... although I'd heard of him before the Jagged Pine patch (he'd beaten down another druid who'd been hunting HGs)

Looted 4gp and the Feather.

Ensnare and Grasping Root bounced off him every time... and 1 out of 4 Drifting Death was resisted. Level 40 sounds about right... hits a little weaker than GrimFeather, casts SK spells (Fear and low level Lifetap... but dind't use Clinging Darkness line, thankfully), and is only a little slower than SoW speed.

Anyways... earliest reference to this critter I can find is a post on Alt.Games.Everquest dated June 14th (nobody there knows what the feather's for, either)

I have a suspicion that this beast is tied to a JaggedPine Forest quest. My druid spends a lot of time in NK and I never saw him before the patch. I killed him and got the NoDrop silver feathers as a drop. A 40 druid watching my pet beat him down said he conned even.

I killed this guy today while running to the opening of the Jaggedpine forrest. Light blue to a 55, harm touched me for 401, cant snare it, it doesnt count as animal. Dropped silver griffon feather. Killed near the wood bridge to EK.

I also killed this vial creature the other day... light blue to a 55 druid, no faction hits. Dropped a silver griffon feather for me as well. This is the first time I have seen one of these before and wonder if it's a Legends mob as I play on Stormhammer.

Saw this guy at the karana druid portal site. I flew into the center and all the druids wiped it out.

RE: Scions?
# Jan 09 2002 at 8:48 PM Rating: Default
Well, to my knowledge they are 60, but I do not know for sure. I do know, that a guildmate and I PO'd one the other day when we levitated and went to the top of the spires. She doubled me for 600, and him for 2,000.
I am a 51 wiz, and he is a 27 Pally. We petitioned but GM's were like no rez for you. I tried to repeat it, but she didn't aggro that time. We still have no idea.
Also, while I was waiting for a GM to contact me, I got wisked away to luclin. Kinda nice since I didn't have a gem on me. Actually, I didn't have anything on me. I just go there and sat down. All I know is I am forming a group and payback will be mine. Muhahahah. Sorry this was so long. I'm still kinda ticked about it.

# Sep 27 2001 at 12:57 AM Rating: Default
ok i was quesin my GB (finished the quest btw) and while passing thru north karana omw to highkeep i heard some guy with one of those really long names like the kobold in innothule shout this exactly "Oh my! What a wonderfully disease filled place this is! Lah de dah de dah!"
Honestly i was freaked out and shouted WTF was that!? Well the guys in NK at the time shouted it was just an npc who had been there for a few days and kept doing that. Well i come back from highkeep with my scroll omw to west karana to talk to an NPC when he shouts it again! Now this wasnt the wierdest part. the wierdest part was that all of a sudden, as i crested a nearby hill, i see about 15 named NPCs all scowling of all imaginable races and classes! EVEN IKSAR!!! So im getting freaked out and run for cover and they dont follow me. the wierd thing is, wouldnt they all aggro on each other? at least the iksar should be aggroed on (everyone hates iksar.) soanyone have any idea WTF is going on here? im really scared that some big GM event similar to the kithicor event will happen, and all of a sudden BOOM! undead all pover and no tunare to keep us safe during daytime here. PLZ post something to tell me whats goin on!?
RE: WTF!?

The "diseased filled place" message is from Oobnopterbevny Biddilets, a level 40 necro that wanders WK (and often takes out Choon & Froon :). She is part of the Researcher's Badge quest (3rd in a series) out of North Qeynos.

# Sep 28 2001 at 5:03 PM Rating: Decent
I have seen the same message, but I have not seen the massive amounts of NPC's he is talking about. Are you sure they weren't PC's. I am curious who that guy is though, he appears on track, maybe I will just track him down and say howdy one day.

Spawning the Swarm Mother
# Sep 23 2001 at 10:41 AM Rating: Default
I've seen posted several times what her loot is. I sincerely doubt there is any question left as to what exactly she drops. If you have any, please read further down the page. I think the question left on everyone's lips, is "How often does she spawn, and how can we force the spawn." Don't know if forcing it is possible, and not sure that she's on a regular spawn timer, but what the hell, it needs to be asked.

Yah she's lvl 34-40
so far i hear she drops gems
So far I've gotten just star ruby earings (110pp from vendors) or just junk =P cash wise it's like 2-3 pp maybe less
Snare/fear works great on her if she doesn't resist =P but she hits hard

He's for the Druid epic quest. I spent the better part of tonight trying to find him. I have no idea if he's a rare spawn or not, none of the epic websites indicate that he is.
