Iksar Blood
Ruins of Kunark
This is now a common drop in the SoD expansion zones.

Not sure that's accurate, Vials of Iksar Blood - are a quest item, not the same item. Can anyone verify that "Iksar Blood" is dropping in SoD?

The drop rate on these wherever you go is horrible. Dulak may be good if the respawn wasnt so long. SoEs screwed up logic for these to not drop off all of cabilis and allw andering iksars throu kunark is flawed and so unfair.
also a burdened ore cart operator, a windscorn revenant, a crew member, and a broken skull mercenary drop this.

I camped this mob for the blood. Was there 10 min and mob popped dropped bracer. Popped two more times and bracer again. Anyone know how often the blood drops?
First of all not many smiths are Iksars anymore. EQTraders.com even says if you're an Iksar you're in for a rough road to get to 250 Grandmaster. The two different cultural smithing armors, Imbued Cabilis and Fearsome Skyiron, are just totally unsellable now-a-days. Nothing you can make is better than anything that is much cheaper in bazaar. There are too many other armors that Iksars can wear that are much better out there. That said here are some details on Iksar Blood.
First off it does NOT drop in Field of Bone (unless you're killing the guards by the city)
None of the wandering KOS Iksars (Iksar Bandit, Brigand, Dakoit, Footpad, Manslayer, Maruader, Mercenary) drop the blood.
The blood does drop fairly regularly from the Bandit Lord in WWoods but its unreasonable to camp a 1 spawn with PH's for trade skills items.
The blood drops much more often in Dalnir's from the Coerced Iksars but hardly anybody ever goes there anymore. It's just too far out of the way to go for exp grinding and many ppl just hate all the caster mobs in there. Once you drop to the second or third floors, you're stuck in a 1-way dungeon that most ppl hate also. This place is fun, I've leveled a lot in there with diff characters but ppl just don appreciate an out-of-the-way difficult dungeon for exp grinding. Plus the spawn for the Iksar mob is not very common. There are several diff mobs that can spawn on the same table so you'd have to slaughter a lot to get the iksars, then slaughter a lot of those to get a blood, again not too efficient.
As for Nurga, with the increased levels and increased magic resistance the iksar slaves in there are much tougher than they used to be. I cant confirm that they no longer spawn but this used to be the place to get blood when they were lower lvl and easier to waste.
Next is Old Sebilis, similar situation, Lvl 46-50 on the Iksar Necromancer and you're gonna have to wade through a bajillion frogs to get to him. If your exp grinding here or looking for the elusive black sapphires then by all means get some iksar blood while your at it. As for farming lvl 50 mobs for components...nope
So that leaves Dulak, they are about lvl 40-43 and you will be killin a bunch of trolls and ogres mobs in order to get them to spawn but you do rake in the dough from the drops off any mob. I have gotten all kinds of gems off them including blue diamonds. I think I get like 1000p of cash loot off them for two hours of soloing in Dulaks. So if you dont get too many iksar blood drops, with the cash you can buy more Iksar bloods in the bazaar hehe.

I never really bothered to count in the past, but there might be a couple dozen Iksar model mobs in dulak. The Windsorn (one of the boats) has about eight between the ones actually on the boat, and on the ramp leading up to it. The rest are scattered all over the zone. The spawn spots on the boat always spawn Iksars or Dark Elves and each spawn site is always the same model type, so it is easy to plan pulls. I can't remember if the rest of the Iksars in the zone are random model spawns, or fixed, or some of both. But if you go for the iksar models off of the Windscorn and its ramp, you will be running all over the place and making your life difficult. From the eight or so on the Windsorn, my necro got two iksar blood in clearing the Iksar models once. Which is not great, but way better than Warlik's Woods. She was able to tank two at a time dotting and snaring with the pet doing his thing (the necro is not played to her maximum potential, and is mainly an exp sponge, so please no comments abouut the necro tanking.)
Update: I went to Warslik's Woods, and killed all the fixed place iksar in the various ruins which are around the zone, and the fixed place and wandering iksar in the cave to the south. Maybe twenty iksar in total. Not one iksar blood. So years after EClapton posted, there is still either no iksar blood or very little here in WW. Which is what EClapton said, I was just hoping it had changed. It would have been nice to be working in the kitchen, hear the audio trigger go off when the iksar attacked my necro, and then loot the corpse when the pet had finished him off. O well. Off to Dualak. Necro is gimp, but maybe the pet can do one in, or at least not die until I get there to supervise things.

LMAO, concerned Iksar? Lol you would be too if someone was chasing your a** down looking to take your blood. Heh, its coerced Iksar, hun =)
wow, I get them quite often in Dulak off of the dock guards that roam near the Ocean boat/sorters area.
I'd be happy to part with my collection of iksar blood for some plat (I'm on the Rathe) or I'll trade for simialrly valued amounts of other smithing components (My smith skill is only 180).

Posted: May 24 2003 at 2:45 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ok first off flame all u want this is the truth .... and there is no denying it. ******** anyone who says that Iksar Blood is a rare drop off tough *** mobs can eat the Sh*t out of there own gaping a$$hole on there face. i have had many iksars and every single one i have hunted with finds these on n00b mobs ... yes even in FoB off the exiled iksars ... who are LVL 5 !! so 800pp is a rip off for something that can be gotten with a decently equipped lvl 1 or 2
if it drops so easily and quickly why don't you go farm yourself a stack or two and sell it for a pretty penny and stop *********
This stuff sells for between 500 and 3k plat on Terris-Thule

Yeah, it's kind of rare.. But moreso because of the lack of easily killable mass Iksar mobs. With a little patience this stuff can be found in a lot of different places (so far, I've found it on Iksar everywhere I have killed them including Field of Bone newbie area). Happy hunting!

This drops in Dulak Harbor off at least some of the Iksar NPC's. I'm sure you can get it to drop off other iksars in LoY.
Of all the temper items this is just too rare. As a guild we camped the mines for a whole day and not 1 Iksar slave spawned, was told by someone that they stoped that spawn.

If anyone has any Iksar blood on Xegony server please let me know and we can discuss purchasing of the blood.
Only 4 places I have seen this drop ( I am a cultural smith ) are:
Seb off the Iksar Necros
Dalnir off the Coerced Necro Iksar
Nurga off Iksar Slaves
WW from the Bandit Lord (Bracer of Scavenging guy)

I can confirm the Bandit Lord. Looted several off of him.
I went on a scouting trip to the Mines of Nurga and talked to a high leveler there and they said that it doesn't drop more there than anywhere else. I have managed to find 2 from Coerced Iksar in the Crypt of Dalnir. It was kind of a rare drop but considering the ratio of blood drop to Iksar there, it can't really be considered a very rare item, but maybe I got lucky.

Apparently it will drop anywhere there are iksar, but the best location I have heard is killing iksar slaves in the Mines of Nurga...

Posted: May 30 2001 at 7:49 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'm preparing to help a brother iksar with his smithing, and I would like to know where I am most likely to find the iksar blood for him.

This is the rare item for Iksar racial tempers known as Scaler Tempers. You need a good brewer to combine Iksar Blood, Froglok Blood, Sarnak Blood, and Flask of Bloodwater.
