| The scarring left by Veeshan as she clawed Norrath so long ago is more evident in Cobalt Scar than just about any other area in Norrath. Large amounts of water sit in the gouges she left behind, and now the sirens of the Grotto use its cover to lure unknowing ship crews into protruding rocks.
On the land, wyverns and drakes of Skyshrine fiercely protect their habitat while a clan of Othmir critters make their home on the beach below the cliffside. |

I am lookin to get me some crustacean armor, is it doable for a 40 war to bring a group in here without major problems?

Whoa, who drops Crustacean???? (srry, ima loner =P)
Othomer (spelling) the little otter guys drop crusty armor. I believe you can also farm it in um... whats that zone Scarlet desert??? but im not sure if those drop it. if your a druid use harmony of nature, (NOT AE). regular harmony fails.

He is in the othimir camps i believe. The closest one to the Skyshrine port entrance. Check the camps down on the shore, he is there i think.
First off, know that the Cobalt Drake AoE is not a proc, but rather a spell. If you can keep the mob feared/blinded, they'll never get it off...
Hunting the drakes themselves is child's play, but risky solo. The best way to do it is to duo them, with a fearer and a snarer (dual Necromancers with rogue pets work wonders here). Get all your buffs in place, especially any cold-resist buffs. FEAR THE DRAKE, FIRST. This is very critical, as if the pets are tanked first, you and they are going to be hit by the AoE, and nothing's worse than having DMF dispelled while you're hovering over the cliff (snickers at a collegue of hers). Also, try to time the snare so that it connects shortly after the fear hits. If only fear lands, the drake will *usually* wander towards the othmir, so not as much chance of trains. Whatever you do, ALWAYS KEEP THE DRAKE FEARED/BLINDED! You can **** off the entire zone if your drake gets it's AoE off, so watch yourself.
PS, the AoE never did more than 300 points of damage to me, usually much less, with only a 50 cold resist (unbuffed)

For you necros out there, here's how to kill a drake without burning to much mana(low downtime means you can get ahead of those damn druids).
get a nice distance away(the ae does hurt).
/pet attack, dooming darkness(not cascading,why burn mana when you don't need to), BoD, sit and watch pet rip it a new *******, pet will come out with 75% give or take(49 pet with augment on, use thief if you wish to fear kite but 49 rules till emissary). Fear is not needed pet can taunt them so easy. Plus fear(although pathing ain't bad here) can cause aggro probs when you don't want it.
49 pet is a warrior, use him like one, these drakes r wimps.

I just want to make a comment about the the drakes only doing a 300 dmg AoE spell. I'm a lvl 52 druid with about 70 cold resist and 50+ magic resists and these drakes were pulling off AoE damage of 250 to 500 dmg per cast, I was down to about 2 bubs of hp before I gated. Just a word of warning.

Maybe the amount of your AC has a bearing on amount of damage from the AOE spell?

You can no longer run the cobalt drakes to the Othmir camps on the sea shore. Even if the Othmir get hit by the AOE, they will now ignore the drakes and you will die. Best bet now is to either gate out or zone if you aggro one you cant handle.

See the subject line Promotex? THAT is how you spell Tongue (that red thing in your mouth).

I have been hunting this zone alot lately and I am getting some gems that are not on the quest lists for the any of the Velious Armors. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are Flawed Lava rubies, Flawed fire opals, imperfect diamonds, chipped black marble, and several others I am not remembering. Anyone know what these are for? I am hanging on to them because I am sure that there is SOMETHING to do with them, I just dont know what.
Found one thing, people tend to avoid here as they believe it to be a high level area. I can assure you that a group or even half group (with the right classes) can hunt here happily.
A group of 39 Ranger, 43 Rogue, 44 cleric and 46 warrior fought happily here and in Skyshrine and we had no deaths.
Later one 51 druid and the ranger and rogue fought again in CS quite happily killing the haunted seachest for hours.
Just thought i'd try to get more lower levels in the zone and surrounding areas to make it easier for me to get a group ;)

Does anyone know where I can get the Wizard Port spell for Cobalt Scar?

You can buy the wiz port to Cobalt (and all other velious wizzy ports) from some merchants slightly near the entrance in skyshrine, so either get your faction up with them or get an enchanter to buy them for you.

Once again, this link doesn't work for me.
So I'll steal this map of Cobalt Scars from Map Shop Norrath

yep, can be really good gems like jacinth, diamond, blue diamond and apparently run of the mill ones like a ruby.
Not bad when you go around and buy some tusks for 9 gold in thuragin, or kill a few ulthorks and get some.

do you get good xps from this quest?
49 posts

Can you actually use tusks from the other zones?
Yep. He asks for Ulthork tusks so any item:
Ulthork Tusks
works.
The only ones I've seen so far are from east wastes, there are none in cobolt. I hear there are some walrus type men in sirens grotto but I doubt if people hunt there much ; )
I have noticed no higher incidence in the dropping of the tusks from the blue to a 53 ulthork man 0'wars in far southwest eastern wastes and the very green level 30 or so ulthorks way in the middle north near the giant Warden camp.
