Mammoth Hide Cloak  

 

Besides being Ultra rare as everyone is saying isnt the focus a bit retarded except for being a twink item?
Per Allahkazam the Improved Damage I Description:
1: Increases spell effectiveness up to 20%
2: Restriction: Spells level 20 and lower
3: Restriction: Only applies to 'Hit Points (HP)' spells
4: Restriction: Affects 'Instant' spells only
5: Restriction: 'Detrimental' spells only
6: Restriction: 'Location Based AoE' spells excluded
7: Restriction: 'Point Blank AoE' spells excluded
8: Restriction: 'Target Based AoE' spells excluded
9: Restriction: 'Giants' spells excluded
10: Restriction: 'Dragons' spells excluded

From what I understand the focus only affects spells that are under level 20, yet this drops off a level 30 mob and would be useless for non-spell casting classes such as Warriors.

I camp this room while im at work. You only play for 1 min every 24. Took 5 hours to get my last cloak. Thats why this cloak should cost more than the spider fur cloak, its hard to get.

First time in Perma I was helping a friend camp the Preacher (he wanted to get the Circlet as a present for his shammy friend). Checked my tracking for the nth time and spotted the alchemist. I'd just been on here checking out the info on zone and knew this dropped so <zoom> off we go, kill the alchemist and voila... cloak drops first time. I'm either going to give it to a shaman friend as a Christmas Present or if they don't want it will sell for exubitant cash-ola

Could a 34 ranger solo this guy and his friend, I need something to replace my banded and I like the stats, and decent ac for my lvl, may just wait for a ry'gorr one though thanx.

After getting the Runed Circle from 1st spawn of the Goblin Preacher, I decided to come back few days after and try to get the Cloak from the Alchemist. Here I am ready to spend 7 hrs to get the cloak. He was the 4th spawn, the rate of PH spawn was 25 minutes at one point and 45 minutes at another. The first thing he dropped was the Cloak! My total wait was a bit above 2 hrs.

Best of luck for the rest of you after the cloak.

Can u say 2 min :)
Invis up and ran in, There he was with a friend...
he shoots he scores, drop cloak...
I hate to camp spawns. I have sat and waited for 2 hours once for this guy, I gave up and grew up. <smile> no match for a lv50 druid.
Being a half elf druid i need as much wis as i can get...

After 2 hours of camping the spot, the Alchemist popped up twice. The first time, the Leggings, the second time the Cloak. I consider myself very lucky.

Just a quick FYI for those interested in difficulty level of this MOB.
Popped in after the patch last week, the Alchemist popped within 10 minutes. My pet engaged him, I cast Winter's Roar 3 times for about 220 dmg avg each cast. Alchemist drops cloak, less then 10 minutes later. My level was 36 at the time so I expected to be able to get out safely. Not much damage was done to me, courtesy of my faithful pooch. I had popped in from time to time to check with 'campers', avg camp time was about 4 hours and no one had acquired the cloak.

I just got very lucky.

I consider myself lucky that I only waited 3 Hrs.
The Alchy side spawned almost exactly every 25 min. He was every 3rd spawn untill he spawned after only one place holder. It was then he dropped the cloak, don't know if that had anything to do with it. The other side of the room spawned 3 times while I was there: 1.5 hrs for the second spawn but only 43 min. for the 3rd.
I had gotten in just as Two people were leaving( more luck), they had been there 2 hrs. w/o getting the cloak...

i camp the alch for 3 days frist day for 4 hours secound day for 12 and the third day for 4 hours and i got 12 legs and one cloak. and the cloak was on the last spawn, so in 3 days i camped this mo fo for 20 hours its sad what a lvl 40 druid will do for a 4wis cloak

Well it took 17 hours of camping this past Sunday, and just as I was about to camp after wasting an entire day I got my cloak. I was pretty upset over this camp as I waited for almost 10 hours before I even seen the Alchemist spawn. Even when he did start spawning all he dropped was those worthless leggings. I ended up going around killing most of the other rares, Preacher, Scryer, and Archelogist just to try and keep active. Every time I did I would get their rare drop so I kept thinking I would get the cloak if only he would spawn, Wrong! It took 7 spawns this time to finially get a lucky drop. Thank Karana I decided to wait till he spawned one last time before camping. This has got to rank pretty high as one of the worst camps in Norrath. The cloak is nice and all and the mob is a relatively easy kill, but the ungodly spawn rate just kills ya.

2 spawn oh...i only had like one every hour..after 4 hours no alchemist at all...whats up with that...

Okay, I have been camping this Alchemist guy for the past 3 days, 12 hours at a time. So far I had 12 pair of Leggings to show for it, but no cloak. Totally determined to get the cloak on the 4th day I log in, and my hard drive crashed. I had a spare hard drive in an old computer that I took out, installed back into my computer, installed all my EQ stuff, logged back in. There was someone in the Zone, so I checked to see what he was camping. He said he was leaving, because he just got the Mammoth Hide cloak about 4 minutes before I sent him a tell. BAH! Either I am the unluckiest man alive or I am not ment to get the cloak for some reason. Now I am back to sitting in the Alchemist room, waiting for my cloak. I am losing my mind.

Hi ya,

this camp is, like the man before wrote, ugly and only good for playing gem (another awful verant game ... lol)
Plan to sit more than 10+ hours for a sack full of useless leggings ...
