Dropped finally from the Hideous rat last night. After 3 weeks of weekday evenings in Hate, killing 13 mini bosses and countless trash, the rat had it. -I would suggest trying the hideous rat first. Be careful because he has 5 mobs guarding him and also sends out a whirl-till-you-hurl which was the only spell I didn't resist in the whole 3 weeks. Outside his building is also the Deathrot Knight and his pet, plus 4-5 yard trash. I think you can pick them all off seperately and work your way in. Somekind of harmony/pacify spell is really helpful. Special thanks to Findaen, Shaman of the Disciples of Justice for helping me trash the trash to get in there!
If you're gonna MQ, make sure you hand in your item last. I got nerf'd when I handed item in first and guildie handed in item second. He got the next stage given to him. I'm hoping when he hands in the Mithril sword and I give the Shattered emerald in that I'll get my Epic back.
Had one of these drop from the 3rd mini we killed last night (Lord of Ire). Plan on giving it to my ranger alt. The three of us were a troll, dark elf, and a half elf - I had my buddy the half elf loot it because he is most likely to be non-KOS to Xanusuus for the turn-in.
Does anyone have definitive info about what faction level is required with Xanusuus to successfully complete an MQ?
WTMQ this item on the druzzil server please.... for some reason i am a 78 ranger and i can barely tank this stuff..... PST to Teeojr if he is on or just send him an in-game tell and we can maybe work things out
Every success has consequences may it be good or bad
took me two weekends of camping finally got SEOC from mistress scorn after killing all the mini's for two weekends and all there place holders. even after the expansion patch. still took another week. good luck to those still trying to do the epic 1.0 quest the old fashion way.
As for the nasty PM's I've gotten about MQ'ing this, heh never camped the SEoC for profit.... If you take the time to look the mobs drop other things too, next time I will let it rot before MQ'ing for virtually free due to crying rangers with bad attitudes..
Bring marshmallows, a fishing pole, and a tent it's gonna be awhile. I have(with a few high lvl pets) yes this ranger has pets....A lvl. 75 mage and a lvl. 72 sk. While they were wiping the houses for me, i took up baking in a spit....For those of you crying and whining about the length of the wait I say, the epic is not fubarred, nor bugged I've helped 7 rangers on Bristlebane get their emerald. As far as the mq goes, that's just greedy you should mq it for free to assist others get their epics. I camped my epic drop in Hate for about a week and finally got it, grab a book and multiskills items, sit down and wait just like we did. GL. BTW it falls off mini nameds only...I've had the most luck on Magi T'Plasa in the first house across the bridge.
i have this on the Saryn (Mithaniel Marr) server , will sell the MQ for 40k PST to Kaster or if im not on shoot me a message and ill get back to you as soon as i can.
I am paying 20k for an MQ of this item on Stromm. Send a tell to Ithare please. Too frustrating to try and camp this out for hours and hours. I need the SLOWS!
Was in PoHate the other night helping a guildy get the mage drop up there. Eerie Chest was up so figured we would try our luck. Lo and Behold it dropped the emerald the first time so it appears to have been increased..camp the Eerie Chest it has dropped it the most consistently of all mobs. Just my 2cp
drop rate is still the same from when the seoc first came into eq...the errie chest is known to be the most comman mob who drops the seoc tho, but drop rate still the same
I camped pohate for over 14 hours today, dont know if I was just unlucky or what. Was camping 8 mobs that dropped seoc, most of the time it was a ph and most of the named droped items I didn't need, so if your a ranger and plan on soloing this make sure to bring plenty of haste/heal/mana pots (I used 32 haste/mana) and get a good rotation going.
