Dawnbanes
# Nov 19 2001 at 5:31 AM Rating: Default
Well, I was running around EK trying to get some spider silks for my tailoring, when I run into a Dawnbane Snake. Having never heard of it before, and it being blue to me at 33, I immediately attacked and killed it. The loot was an Intact Dawnbane Poison Sac. I thought I'd keep it in case it was for some quest I might want to do. So I continued fighting, when I see yet another. This one didn't drop anything, and neither did the next one I killed. Apparently the sac is kinda rare. Can anyone tell me what these guys are for?

dawnbane snakes

ok, so the dawnbanes spawn only at night and are blue to lvl 34... but the interesting part is theres a red named npc that keeps popping up on track then dissappearing throughout the night. The only loot ive gotten from a dawnbane is a lore item "intact dawnbane poison gland" my guess is its got something to do with the mysterious dissappearing NPC. ive tried to track them several times and sometings funky i get to where they should be but see nothing, tried see invis.. nada. this npc poofs as quickly as it appears so theres little time to search. if anyone has any info post it pls :)

a dawnbane serpent

Eversince the Halloween stuff, a new type of mob has appeared on the Test Server in EK called "a dawnbane serpent". It cons red to a LV22 Druid and cons blue to a 31 Druid.

It's a non-agressive, muddy-green snake with glowing light green eyes.

I have no idea what it's loot is or if it's particularly poisonous.

Of note: Prior to the Halloween stuff, the "!" guy sometimes spawned with the name "!a dawnbane serpent".

GM event

While camping spider silks for the 5th coldain shawl about three days back I spotted a monster named Oowump something. I tracked him and it was an ogre troll with two wolf pets "Woof the Wolf" and another named wolf. I hailed him and he said nothing. A red to me warrior started attacking the pets so i started to attack the ogre. I casted Starfire and it was not resisted, but i did not see a "Has been hit by a non-melee for 612 damage". After 3 or for nukes i wondered why this orge still conned indifferently and was not attacking me. The next thing i see is "Kemeryen, why did you kill my dawgies. Dem wer gud dawgies." This mob had spoken to its attacker. I procceded to nuke and the warrior engaged in toe to toe combat with him. Oowump was at about 30% health and fleed the scene. He ran out of sight. I tracked him and found him at a tree by the bandit camp healing up. I rooted him, stuck Winged Death, Drones of Doom, and Breath of Ro on him. He casted a 100+ nuke so i sat out of range and waited for him to die. Before he died, the mob shouts "Kemeryen, i will be back yu killed my dawgies" (or something to that affect). Then he ported out instantly, no loot, no corpse, no faction... I didnt even get to see the has died message. Goodluck on your adventures.. GM's seem to like to run wild in this zone.
event here on haloween
# Nov 01 2001 at 2:44 PM Rating: Default
The day before haloween 2001, a couple of zones changed. (I play on test server I dont know about other servesrs)I know that WC, EK, and NRO changed...but I also got rumor runneyeye did as well, never saw for myself tho. This was an event with no GM, a haloween event. WC became A haolwing nightmare, EK became Graveyard of the dead, and NRO becam....eeerrr....feast of the venril sathir or somthing like that....
Anyway. Each zone was re stocked with new monsters, EK with undead with this high (45+) spec forgot his name tho, NRO had these humans and zombies and skels that worshiped this giant snake. (snakes level 45+)And WC had werevoles and of course one level 45+ monster werewolf overlord. Now, each zone dropped the same things I think but these monsters range low level to high, and all have a pretth equal chance of dropping these items. They were all NO-DROP (exeot for one) but they were AMAZING for what they dropped off of. Me, a druid, I got the following: An earing, 4wis 20mana 20hp, a belt 4wis 4sta 4svmagic (i think, not sure on belt), and a head piece 4wis and some other stats i forgot. Amazing I tell ya. Items for all classes dropped. I was in EK most fo my time. I kow that they did it on the day before haloween, haloween and today. These items that were dropped are now going to be some of test server players crown jewels. I doubt they will ever be given out again and are all no drop. I doubt i will find anything anytime soon to top what I found. Oh and one more thing, That one item that wasnt no drop was a -10cha +6int book (some other stats i yes, forgot). Gave it to my enchanter.
G'Luck Happy Hunting

I play on Test Server. There is usually a human NPC with the ! name on the path close to the NK bridge. Today, I ran by, and he was there, but his name was !a dawnbane serpent. Anyone know if there used to be a mob called a dawnbane serpent in EK, or is this going to be a new monster?

Hello all-
Just wondering, did there not used to be Highwaymen mobs on the ramp to/from Highpass? Lately I have been traveling to and from Highpass (mostly due to deaths. I am bound just inside the zone from EK) and I have not seen any of the "bandits", whom I believe were each called "a Highwayman", in there respective towers. I notice they are not on the bestiary list either. What gives?

I've been hunting Broon lately and every time Droon (brother) pops, he cons white/black to me at level 30. Seen it about 5 times, so I'd say Droon is fixed at level 30.

Creature named !
# Sep 13 2001 at 5:54 PM Rating: Default
This guy is a wussy level 1 mob who just stands around and does nothing to anybody not even evil races he lowers no faction nor does he lower any so have fun killing him in 1 hit :)
RE: Creature named !
# Jan 08 2002 at 10:19 PM Rating: Default
Ok as far as i know, any mobs with ! in the name are placeholders for broken spawns. I remember once when Bubar was missing from tunnel in EC and out on the hilside was mob !Bubar.

These PHs never give exp, drop loot or respond to hails, so just ignore them till fixed.
Creature named !
# Sep 10 2001 at 2:45 PM Rating: Default
I'm not sure what this was about but I zoned in from NK the other day to hunt some crag spiders & gather some silk. Loo & behold up pops track & this creature named !

I tracked him down & he was a human model. He conned green to me (22nd lvl druid at the time), but I didn't have the heart to kill him. I hate messing up faction in places. =)

Anybody got any ideas?

The creatures named "!" are actually Verant/EQ files or bugs that are stored in your game. They can also be future mobs, so I've heard. I didn't bother to kill him, especially if he is a messed up bug. Just imagine him hitting for for 5000k damage or something because of a stupid bug.
#Anonymous, Posted: Sep 21 2001 at 3:58 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I have been told that this creature is just a place holder in the code of something that was a quest spawn and got nerfed

i saw the exact same guy on track so of course i tracked him down. with a name like ! u have to see wtf it is. when i got there he was human model just like u said but i couldn't let this opportunity pass by...u know, just in case he was a super-rare spawn or sumptin. neways, i proceeded to root him...AND HE DIED!!! LOL
i looted, and there was nothing there. then he popped again about 30 seconds after i killed him in the exact same place so i killed again. nothing on body again...so i waited and he never showed back up. very odd, don't know what it was all about. verant prolly playing a trick on us.
oh...and he didn't give a faction hit at all.
so Glanodin...to answer ur question i really have no idea who or what he is for, but i have now killed him twice and he had nothing on his body either times. but seeing as he gives no faction hits i will kill him everytime i see him, if ever again. heh...remember just kill him by using root spell.

I just logged on into East Karana by the bridge and discovered myself surrounded by 3 werewolves Rvy'Lok, Skarvok, and Skornok who immediately cast on me and quickly killed me. went back to recover the body and was hit again.

|Any idea where these guys came from??? all 3 red to me, all casting

Question about the gorge
# Jul 17 2001 at 11:47 AM Rating: Default
I hear that there is a gorge in EK with some stuff that would kill me pretty fast being a lvl 35 chanter. I would be going in the gorge to get some Polished Bone bracelets so i can have WIS in my wrist when i make Jewelery. Anyhow, when i check the NPC list on this site, nothing seems like too much of a threat. is the list incomplete or was i misinformed?

Near the bridge the other day I saw an NPC named "!" I returned later and there were two of him standing right next to each other. I got a screenshot of it too. Was green to level 27.

# Aug 26 2001 at 6:30 PM Rating: Default
This is a bugged bandit. Human male is the defalt charicter (wich is what he is) If you kill him whith the one blow it takes, you get a faction hit with the bandits and a bonus with the merchants. Then he says the common death sentance that the bandits say.

You can have fun and dress him up with cloths and a rusty weapon if you want. LOL
RE: !
# Nov 02 2001 at 11:29 PM Rating: Default
he is most defianatly a bug, I got a pic of 5 of him together, no faction when I killed them all

28 June saw plenty of HGs and Tarbul Earthstrider in EK. 29 June I didn't see one of them all night on tracking. I did however see that the ! placeholder that has been by the marker near the bridge where Sir Morgan and Squire Wembley wait is now four ! placeholders all on the same spot.
