Siren Hair  

 

Got one off "a siren seductress". Might want to add to the list from Cobalt Scar. This has been mentioned before on this page.

Dont waste your time in SG, farm these in CS. I cleared SG four or five times in the main Siren locations and only the droppable hair dropped. I went to CS and got the correct no drop in one siren clear.

I spent 4 hours in CS and got 8 hairs. I got 5 from enticers, 2 from enchantresses and 1 from a seductress. I didnt bother using the mezz and mana drain strategy. I made a pet and buffed it with NDT and haste. I pulled a siren with psychosis and let pet finish it off while I nuked some more. Not once did they charm my pet. No need to mana drain since nothing stuck on me.

I killed the sirens at the SS tower and SG entrance. There is also another spot in the middle of the bay, where sirens spawn, just north of the halfway point between the sirens near the SS tower and the sirens near the SG entrance. There is a rock on the bottom of the ocean where 4 sirens will spawn. The rock is west of the large shipwreck in the middle of the bay. There is also 1 that spawned by itself east and slightly north of the rock

If you start at the SG entrance and work your way down to the SS tower area you can go back to SG entrance before the sirens there respawn. Depending on how fast you kill them of course.

siren enchanters a CAKEWALK
66 druid didnt take zero damage killed em with ease... 165 magic resist i had with spell on

Okay, I've tried this at a couple levels, and it's only now really effective at 56. If you have higher MR than me (mine's crap), then you could probably do this sooner. Anyway, the point where three spawn together near the skyshrine zone... just use harmony of nature on two, and put swarm of pain and drones of doom on the one you want to pull.

Now run back to the skyshrine ramp and sit on the first platform, facing towards the siren. She'll have a hard time with the pathing and struggle up the hill. She probably won't get within casting distance of you until your dots wear off; at this point snare her, and put the dots right back on. this way if you get mezzed, she's still getting damaged. keep yourself with levitate, because if she fears you and you go nuts around here without lev... could be a disaster.

oh yeah, almost forgot to mention that i got mine off a siren enticer who was green to me (i clarify because once in a while there was a lt blue one).

to get to cobalt scar without a porter...
from PoK take the Great Divide stone and go West to the stream, follow it all the way to the south of the zone... you should see a little castle in the water, click it... you are now in Plane of Mischief, start clicking trees between the zone in and the castle, one of them will port you to Cobalt Scar in the middle of the lake...

with my 52 wizzie, I was able to single-pull each of the sirens at the far end of CS (by the Skyshrine tower). my gear's not that great, but with 200pp worth of Bazaar gear and a gift to my friendly neighborhood Phantasmist, I was able to get my MR to 170, which allowed me to resist easily 99% of all their spells. (at 150MR, I resisted 85-95%)

after that, it's just root, nuke, nuke, nuke, rinse, repeat. the one caveat I have for you is to avoid the underwater ones like the plague unless (a) you have an EB item, and (b) your swimming is 200. I was bored waiting for the long respawn (and no wyverns were available) so I thought I'd pull the 2 underwater sirens, who proceeded to break root, swim within melee range and pound me to a little blue stain. ah, well =)

as for the drops, I've gotten one hair so far, off an Enticer.

A 55 necro and a 57 druid can do this no problem. Kept MR at 150, nuked, and used Harmony to break up the spawn. Piece of cake, and we got 6 hairs to drop in an hour.

I've been taking these down 4 at a time with a 54 druid. No big deal, as long as you keep that Magic Resist up.

I can solo these at 55 without too much downtime or risk.
First i invis and swim close to tag one then i swim away to get out of range from the others. That way i dont get any adds when i root-dot it. They still cast spells like crazy but i resist about 95% with only 121 MR

OK, so I was told initially that you need a good strong group to kill these sirens... Well after several rounds of getting my "good strong group" wiped out, they all left except my lvl 52 bard (luv ya Lutrum!) and we realized it was easier for just the two of us. And 3 shawl fails later we have a pretty good system worked out. Heres what we do:

I sit on the beach (I found that hiding behind a big rock seems to help this cleric avoid aggro... dont ask me why, but i feel safer anyways) and he goes over the water around the bulthars to tag the sirens. With our combined MRs, he resists around 95pct of their spells. By the time they get back to the beach they have usually run oom from chain casting and they are an easy kill. Also, when he does get charmed he runs up the hill and attacks the druids up top hunting wyverns(stupid soloable classes deserve a little extra aggro.......=P) which leaves me alive and safe to rezz if necessary. And if you have trouble finding a bard to help you out, we have picked up about one conch shell horn for every 2 or 3 hairs, so they will most likely get a nice little instrument by the time you are done. Hope this helps someone :)

PS a bard MAY be able to solo them for the other quest, but their nukes seem to land more often than other spells, especially when we get two, so he often needs a heal or two mid fight... go together, share the love
