so where is this quillimane guy...maybe if i can kill him i can trade a mage for a reaver...:)
Quillimane is in South Karana, Pegusus and very very rare spawn, but with track and if zone not to populated can get him. Just kill wandering mobs, dont worry about the gnolls at the spire area, or non wandering aviaks. Keep killing til he pops. He is like level 25-30, easy easy kill, doesnt cast spells. My mage downed him in 2 casts at 56.

Posted: Jun 10 2003 at 1:03 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If no one would buy the damn things, then the price would drop. Im almost as pissed at the druids and rangers that pay 20k for this damn thing as i am at the stupid people who farm them. I say if you want one dont buy it get a group go in there and just steal the mob from the magician (for some reason they're usually the ones farming them) as long as you get aggro first it's technically your mob. It's certainly not rare enough to sell for 20k. It's certainly not its outstanding ratio or stats. It's people sticking it to druids (and rangers) because they know we need it. I wonder if i could get my rogue in there and ninja loot some of these man that would be sweet. I would be like robinhood. From the farmers to the druids! Boy am i tired.

Wish Sony would fix this and make it CLASS ONLY like the cloak off Quillimane should be MAGE only since we need it for our epic and Druids, Rangers and Bards are constantly killing him and then charging us 15k+ to MQ it. This would stop a lot of the complaining about "Mages camping reavers" which in fairness there is nothing wrong with it since Druids and Rangers do it all the time to Mages on the Quill cloak.

Posted: Dec 02 2003 at 8:36 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) except for if you didnt have those druid rangers bards chances are you wouldnt ever get your hands on a cloak becuase you wouldnt find quill jackass, and other classes can actually use the lev cloak, i have one on my pally and my monk, both of which i camped myself with my druid, sure a mage could have used it for epic... but i would have had to charge them 15k for it... like i said it actually has a usefulness, and i have no problem as a druid that mages are camping the reavers, you cant use them so you are forced to sell them in the bazaar which is exactly where i bought my reaver for my druid's epic way back when, only one diff between quill and the reavers is the fact that quill's drop is useful to other classes in addition to being an epic piece, while the reaver is only useful two 2 classes only as any weapon you can get for 1-10pp
Arkiados' post makes me very tempted to camp reavers and give them to my pets as weapons.
I suppose that would be very rude though. Rude like the players who insist on sending tells to magicians simply to gloat that they have the cloak from Quillmane. Yes, I get those tells and no, those people are not offering to MQ.
I've hunted Quillmane a couple times. I /ooc'd the zone when I arrived that that's what I was after. I ran around killing various mobs to encourage him to spawn. Some very kind players told me when he popped and kept it rooted until I could get to him. Yes, players who were complete strangers helped me do this. I've encountered many more players like this in the game than unpleasant ones.
Not all players in this game are inconsiderate or cut-throat.
P.S. The few times I've killed reavers has been to help my ranger and druid friends get their epics.

As of Sept 2003, the price on these has dropped significantly. They are now selling on 7th Hammer at around 7k. Much more realistic (still about 2k too high in my humble opinion).
As a side note.. farmers of these things, if someone has taken the trouble to get a group in to get one for their epic, dont you think you should allow them access. I know you will be equally uspset with ppl farming you items.. A little curtesy is all it takes.

i second that emotion personally as a lvl 50 ranger myself i have tried to get my group in there to get one 5 times and there is always someother class friggin farming them mages seen a 65 warr doing it once and i have begged and pleaded with them and they just ignore me i dont get it i think verant should make these NO DROP so these idiots cant go messing up my progress!! and yeah 20k is friggin ridiculous greedy *** magicians who can farm anywhere else and make plenty of money due to their soloing ability and they choose a epic mob go figure!!

As much as I agree that it is uncool of people to charge so much for these weapons, perhaps that magician is charging it so they can afford the crown they need outa POA that people sell for 50k. And let us not forget the dragon scales warriors need for their epic (which is worthless, but that is not really relevent here) which also sell for many kpp.
Sorry for the pointless post, but I felt a need to defend those that are ******** others because they themselves are being screwed.

50k? At that price I'd consider breaking my rule about buying pp for real world money.
On Terris Thule, on the rare occasions I've seen the crown for sale it's been 85-100kpp.
I know some people would hate it, but I really wish MQing didn't work. The game tagged certain items as "no drop" so only the appropriate people should benefit from looting it. Parchments and epic items come to mind.

You also forgot the pegasus feather cloak, which is almost constantly being sold as MQ by druids and rangers, who slay quillmane as soon as hp pops, since they have track.
I don't play a mage, but I can certainly see why one might decide to farm jade reavers, instead of trying to beat the tracking classes to quillmane.

isn't there also a mage epic piece that drops from a named mob at the end of the "glass walkway" area (once you kill all the reavers or something)? i remember my first time going to CoM.... we didn't get any JR's, but at the end this guy spawned and we took him out. he dropped something that one of our mages kept to MQ for another mage (who didn't have it yet).

Yes, you are right. The mob you are talking about that the Magicians need is Neh'Ashiir. She is also needed by the Shaman class. I have the same gripe you all have about farmers and the exorbitant prices they charge for MQs and items needed by other classes for their epics. I created a Ranger just to get even with peeps tracking and killing Quillmane for the MQ rights. Hasn't helped me though, lol. Still haven't been able to track Quill when I've been there, but my Mage will eventually get the cloak. As for the Reavers, once I can get in there and solo them, my Ranger and Druid are getting a Jade Reaver if it kills me. As well as all the Rangers/Druids in my guild. For free I might add. Maybe they'll be kind enough to remember me when I have to take my Shaman and my Mage in there to kill Neh'Ashiir, lol. Here's hoping all the rest of you luck at it as well.

Do these guys still spawn in chains? About a month ago I was in here and killed one that spawned two more before spawning Lord Ghiosk. In the past week I have killed 7 Black Reavers, and they were all single spawns.

I was killing the reavers last night and we had 1 chain that spawned 28 black reavers so yes they still do.

Posted: May 14 2003 at 8:28 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) OK, what the heck is going on?
Most I have seen is 78 Reavers spawning in a row, glad we were doing a double guild raid there at the time or they would have overrun us. 8 Jade Reavers off that chain.

Sorry meant to add this also to my previous post. If you have a bard to assist with this, I'd suggest, as we did, DO NOT fight them in the bldg. Make sure though that the back bridge isn't camped out of courtesy to others first. Pull these puppies out and away from the bldg. It helps only having a reaver at a time to kill instead of all the golems, wraiths etc. We always announced to the zone that Reavers were being pulled,and to which area, so that others wouldn't get harmed. Also remember Lord Ghiosk summons. He flew me across the bridge, and to his feet several times while I was camping and was stopped while the bottom room of reaver bldg was being pulled by groups in there. I was around the corner in fact hiding and he still got me. Be careful and lots of luck : )

Having my epic on hold for months now (need to do Fay still) wanted to give a little tip on the reavers. I camped the back gazebo's for 6 1/2 levels, and saw MANY die trying to get this.Some uber guilds got wiped. 3-4 groups back there would get wiped. Saw groups from one guild die 5 times in 2 days trying. I got taken out a few times myself trying to help keep these groups healed etc. Went into the reaver bldg with others 2x's no drops. Then met a bard who solo's them. YES she solo's them!! I was amazed. She asked me to join her, so I did. (Bard/56 Me/58. They can be duo teamed with a bard on hand. We grouped up several times.We not only took out All the reavers but Lord Ghiosk also. Would call in shammy friends/guildmates who needed the books, they'd wait on the sidelines while we killed him and then come loot the books. I won't give out our game plan we use, but get with a bard and talk to them about it. They can charm (hint) Bards are underestimated I have found, and after watching in awe, one being able to solo and kill what groups of 10-20 people have trouble doing, a bard is a very useful ally. I got my jade reaver plus a spare in 2 sets of reavers, she got a few also. Alt looted them. Good luck to all who need this.

how long did it take u to do this and where are the reavers located and how many members do i need in a group.and im a lvl 52 druid
There are 5 reavers inside the building with the locked door... one u can see as u open the door... pull the wraiths and golems standing to the sides and then pull the reaver.... next if your rogue and FD puller move inside there are 2 doors on the back wall... go through eather one and u will enter a hall... if u go in the left door go right down the hall<or if u go in teh right door go left> and there is an elevator in the floor... the rogue needds to use lockpick to make it go up... at the top there is another room with more wraiths and golems and a reaver standing there... behind that reaver there is a tiny room with 3 more reavers....those are the reavers most people camp/kill... if u dont get a jade reaver from them, there is one more close to where the shammy epic mob is but its kind of a pain to get to and unless u are get there for that part of the shammy epic u might as well just sit tight and wait for the repops <about 2 hours from what i know.... never stayed there long enuff to really time it hehe... FYI..More then one black reaver can pop from the corpse from the black reaver u kill... SO for every black reaver that u kill ther will eather be a phantom or another reaver that pops...i have heard times where over 90 can pop ina row from the first mob u kill...so be ready for some fun =D there also is a chance some named mob will pop from one also but it only happend once to me in about 6 outings ive taken there so i dont know much about that...

We (59 warr, 55 rog, 59 cle, 62 enc) got 7 jade reavers last night, we killed about 50-60 black reavers for this (there was two longer "chains", one of them with ~25 BRs, the other with ~15 BRs).
It was easy and simple.
Pacify and Rapture are your friends in CoM, both affect the otherwise magic resistant BRs.

Ok, the price thing seems silly to me.
First people post saying things like "this is incredibly rare, we have raided X times and none has dropped"
Then they go on to say something Like "I'm not going to pay a ripoff price like 15kpp."
The way I see it, if it's that rare, then its worth 15k.
Plus, if farmers come in and kill the reavers, when there is not a guild raiding them for their epic, then what harm is done. The only way prices on these will come down, is if MORE farmewrs go in and kill reavers. It's supply and demand, the more for sale, the lower the price. If you don't want to pay their prices, go raid one yourself. Then, get 10 spares, and go sell them in the bazaar for 2k, if you don't like the current prices.
And yes, I play a lvl 50 druid, and could use one of these for my epic. My guild raided there last sunday, with another guild we recently partnered with, and we got two to drop. We're going back this Sunday for more. Only downside is, I'm about number 7 or so on the list. Am I going to curse the farmers? heck no, they are my backup plan. If I don't get one from these raids, then I DO have the option of buying.

The problem with your theory is that farmers do not only go farm them when a guild is not doing an epic.
Farmers go and farm them and PREVENT guilds from doing the epic.
People try to FORCE you into buying this, by keeping them camped 24/7.
Of course, considering this is an epic camp, and the fact that the people there farming it are doing so out of malice and greed, my guild will be following Sony's rules of engagement. What I mean is, if they want ALL of the black reavers, they better be able to pull them ALL at once, because we will be killing what is not actively engaged.
Of course, if we get there, and someone is trying to get their epic piece, then we'll probably help them to get it.
I suggest others do the same. When these are camped out of greed, pull whatever is not engaged. When these are camped for epic, help out. If you help, then they will get their's quicker, and thus, so will you.

Maybe its server dependent, but reavers are rarely EVER camped on Rodcet Nife, at least at the times my guild has gone there. Only once have we had to wait to get the camp.
I know some of these messages are kinda old, but CoM is hardly ever camped for anything on Rathe *shrug*
I'd say you're pretty lucky lol
With the way epic mobs are camped on The Seventh Hammer, you'd be surprised how few people have their epics.
There are about a thousand peeps right off the top of my head who are within 4 battles of their epic though lol
I guess it's all timing. I work during the week, so usually can only raid on the weekend. Just on a whim last night, I stayed up a bit later to see what the camp looks like when most people in the Central time zone are snoozing.
What I found surprised me.
There were 2 people in the zone. Neither even knew where the reavers were.
I guess timing is 99% of the battle on this one 8).

A ranger epic only has 6 battles.
7 if you count Kith, but you can avoid that one.

Posted: Jan 20 2003 at 7:44 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Buying your epic is stupid. If you can't raid for one, you don't deserve your epic.
So what you are saying is, despite the fact that I CAN and DO raid here, and have seen 3 reavers drop so far, if I find the drop rate to be a bottleneck, and bought one, this somehow diminishes the significance of all of the hard epic fights?
Its not like the Reavers are a particularly Difficult kill,just very time consuming and boring. How many weeks can I expect my guild to dedicate themselves to killing black reavers, before they get bored, and want to move on,especially since my druid isn't even my main.

Actually, a good guild wouldn't mind hitting CoM often and killing lots of Reavers. That's because CoM also contains Enchanter, Shaman, Magician, and Shadowknight Epic drops besides the Jade Reavers. So there are many reasons to go there, and killing Black Reavers along the way is not a problem.
Edit: Monk epic, too.

There are MANY druids that prefer to solo rather than join guilds. You CAN'T raid solo. Unless you have made many friends along the way, buying is a viable option for this part of the quest. Also, if you are in a low level guild, making you one of the higher levels in the guild, their may not be enough people in your guild high enough level to help on this raid yet. Different circumstances for different people. You shouldn't be so quick to judge people or to spout off remarks without fully thinking about the different situations people may be in. Granted, they will HAVE to do a raid for Faydedar, but if you are between guilds or something, buying IS an option for this part of the quest.

Qzet has a good friend of mine in his guild.....Brumuuil. the crap about these being farmed is just that......crap. people should follow the need before greed philosophy. i give away tons of stuff to guildmates and friends. i have probably given away 40k in gear and loot. Stop being greedy and actually be nice. After all, it's only a game.....

Last night we went to the City of Mist for my shaman Epic (i had to kill Lord Ghiosk who pop from reavers).
We engaged 1 reaver who chain respawn...67 (yes, sixty seven) times, all this started from a single reaver !
Lord Ghiosk spawned on the 5th reaver, along with a new reaver. I went there with 10 people from guild, all lvl 55 to 65. From those 67 unstoppable respawn chain, we only had a single member who died around the 30th reaver.
So be warned that when you pull a single reaver you can, in fact, pull an entire chain (thought they will come 1 by 1). Also notice that the reavers are unslowable and resist all spells requiering a resist check. The reavers also have the abilty to blind and it will happen at least once each fight on each people meleing them. For your information, we looted 7 Jade Reavers out of this 67 reavers chain and 1 Shimmering Partisan. Even if they usualy dont respawn more than 4/5 times, keep this info in mind for your futur raids in the CoM.

Reavers do NOT resist all spells. They are very HIGH MR, but my Cleric has nuked them with retribution, which checks against save magic for resists, and had it stick, even occasionally for full damage.
However, it resists more than half attempts to nuke, so it is HIGHLY MR.
So, if you could get a tash, and a shammy debuff on it, it would probably nuke very nicely :)

I want to thank you (and the few other posts) for giving useful information. I'm not at the Jade Reaver bottleneck yet, but am rapidly approaching and like to know what I'm getting into. Now warning: /rant on For those of you that think the Jade Reaver is overpriced in the bazaar, raid for it. For those that think it's too rare a drop, go buy it. For those that think it should be lore/no drop, buy Sony Online and order the programmers to make it so. For those with the "play nice" philosophy, continue to do so and hopefully you'll be rewarded in kind someday. But please use this forum as an information sharing device and not a stress relief forum. It doesn't help anyone else. /rant off To anyone who wants to raid CoM sometime on Bristlebane, send Bolaen a tell.

After reading these posts if there is a mage out the that needs the Pegasus cloak and has a Jade Reaver and is on Mith Marr server give me a tell or e-mail me at my Allakhazam account if you'd be willing to trade and I'm lvl 49 so I can MQ the cloak.

Hello All,
85 in a row must be some sort of record. I was pulling Black Reavers for a raid last night and we got a run of 25, it was getting a bit hairy on the healing, luckily there were several druids to help the clerics out with the healing. I doubt we could have handled much more than 30. We did get 3 Jade Reavers total, but none of them came from the 25 run.

Ok. We all know these things drop from Black Reavers.
Some people in my guild, with a couple people from another guild, got 5 of these last night. They got most if not all of them from an 85 Black Reaver chain (ie - 85 reavers before the spawn chain stopped).
Only one person went away without a Jade REaver amongst those who went there to get one for their epic.
My question (which Tiffeater also asks under the black reavers directly) is whats the record number of spawns for these thigns?

Only one person went away without a Jade REaver amongst those who went there to get one for their epic.
My question (which Tiffeater also asks under the black reavers directly) is whats the record number of spawns for these thigns?
In a 4 group raid last night to do ahammy and chanter epic pieces. also fought 25 black reavers, including 11 that spawned in a row. not a single JR for our troubles. GGRRRrrr
I am attaching this post to what I hope will remain the first entry so everyone visiting the page will see this. Do not read any farther than this post. There is no useful information on this page about advice on reavers. What you will find below is either a) I killed a reaver and got Jade Reaver to drop on first try. b) people that sell this for 15k suck. c) they should make this no drop. d) your post is dumb and so are you, etc.
I hope to save you the trouble of sifting thru this garbage in hopes of finding some actual useful information. If you want useful info...find a druid with an epic and ask them until they delete all this worthless junk.

this is a rant and a warning. so far i have done 4 CoM raids where we were looking for a jade reaver for me. i still am no sure on what the dam thing even looks like. so for anyone who didnt get it on ur first raid. dont feel bad. it can get alot worse.
so good luck to any ranger/druid who tries to get one, i hope u have better luck then me.

Was single group in CoM seeking Jade reaver for guild level 53 druid. Cleric and Warrior had to leave before we got started. Other non-guild peeps, including a level 60 rogue offered to help. First pull jade reaver drops, no one says anything ... rogue loots, hands to druid and says congrats.
Two weeks later, I'm in CoM killing spectral couriers for a monky quest, notice same rogue in the zone so say hi, tell him druid got Fay and now has epic and thank him again for his help. Invites me to join a small reaver group he is forming to get an enchanter epic drop. First pull, Jade reaver drops, I win roll (I'm a monk) and the guild bank now has reaver for officers to hand out.
I've spent maybe 20 hours in CoM. Half of that was soloing which includes the front of the castle. Reaver camp on 7th Hammer seens to open as much as it is camped. Since we need many more jade reavers for all the rangers and druids in the guild, I'm happy that they are not nodrop and not lore.
Relative to quilmane, guild druid discussed in first paragraph killed quil many months ago and let a level 25-ish mage loot. He was only mage in the zone.
Lastnight, I had quil rooted and DoT'd with my level 40 ranger (was hunting cyclops skull for brewing and cat skins for armor padding). Two druids run up and start attacking and KS. I asked if they noticed that quil was rooted and at 2/3rds life when they attacked and they apollogized and left the area without looting. I couldn't loot immediately, cause I didn't get the kill, but I did a "/who mag" and telled the only mage in the zone to run on over just in case. Feathered leggs dropped.
Not saying hey I'm a great person, just repeating that expression, "what goes around comes around". The friends you make with kind gestures will be the first to offer you help when you need it. And that may include giving you a jade reaver.

All and all you should condister yourself very lucky that you were able to just walk in there and get one. We're not an UBER guild by any imgaination but we can hold our own. We have raided CoM on 8 occasions and killed an unbelievable amount of reavers and never had a Jade Reaver drop. While this goes on, more and more players are getting to the level where they require one too.. so now on our last raid we required 6 and none dropped. It is very sad, but I refuse to pay 15k to some ignorant player that is abusing prices for greed.
It's pretend money, for a pretend object.
So... we'll continue to raid so that someday I might hold a grahpically inhanced pretend object in my hand. ;)

I am really sick of camping these guys. Been on 5 raids where we cleared them and not one drop.If anyone on Drinal has one for sell I have 15k Negotiable, that I can lay down.Yes, 15k after all this is the bottle neck in the druid and ranger epics. Send me a tell in game.

All the nerdy ******** who farm the Jade Reaver to jack up the price 700% to take advantage of rangers and druids trying to complete there epic should be slapped like the little snot-nosed girls they are. Go farm whatever you like, and fill your fat little purse, but an epic is the one thing out of all others, that shouldn't become a profit industry. Some of us can't go to our 60 cleric or 60 chanter alt, to grab a couple dozen thousand kpp believe it or not. This makes me very very pissed. In EC the other night on the Eci server I read an auction for Jade Reaver 19k. you got to be kiddin me. /rant off

I think that all rangers and druids need to stop complaining...
I am a Magician. There are three hard items that mages need for their epics. The hate staff, the crown from PoA, and the pegasus feather cloak. The pegasus feather cloak takes the most time, and is the hardest BECAUSE OF GREEDY RANGERS AND DRUIDS.
I spent over 100 hours in SK looking for Quillmane. offering to pay a reasonable amount (5k). However, when I was there, I got tells much like this:
Retardranger tells you, "Hey guess what! I just found Quillmane and I killed him. This cloak is pretty nice. I found him around the gnoll spires, I hope you get yours soon"
Or
Greedydruid tells you, "You said you are paying for the cloak right? If you give me 25k I'll let you loot it."
I got AT LEAST 5 of these kind of tells from GREEDY DRUIDS AND RANGERS. A group of my guildies and I have now started farming these reavers so we can buy my cloak for 25k... Yes thats right, 25k.
I guess the moral of this post is this: Stop complaining that people farm your epic. Other classes have trouble too. Look at the cleric epic? Ragefire gets CONSTANTLY KSed by other guilds. Higher level magicians are helpless in looking for quillmain because of low level rangers/druids who think that if they dont profit from helping someone else, its not worth it.

Reading your post has given me a great idea. Suddenly it is all TOO clear to me, lol. Guess I can always go farm Reavers with my Mage, then go to SK and ask for someone to track Quillmane. When they tell me what you were told, I'll just link the Reaver and say, "You sure you want to charge me that much for it?" Lol
All that is lost, is not Forsaken
I am a Ranger and am in the process of helping a mage in my guild get the cloak. So, how about you kiss my hairy elven azz? I am not doing it for profit, I don't beleive in it. You do know that Druids & Rangers have to compete for the same epic stuff for 90% of their epics right? Nah, didn't think ya did. I am always helping people in my guild, and people not in my guild, and I dont do it for PP. I do it because I can.
I am always willing to take time out from my game to run all over the damn place (rangers can't port) and do quest and stuff for guildies because I can. Did entire set of Ro Cleric armor for a guildie, helped several peeps get their Testament of Vanear, and all kinds of stuff, for free.
So, I tell ya what, next time your almost dead, and need a cure, or heal, or sow to make it to zone before your death...remember this. "You can't stereotype a class, there are people behind the toons, we are not all the same"
P.S. Blow me. >=)

IMO all druids and rangers aren't greedy !
I have a 46 druid and all the lvls i spent in SK, i got the cloak for the mage epic 8 times < one i use and will always use, and 7 i gave freely to mages in the zone > and i still continue to help mages obtain the cloak for free, and will always help anyone that needs epic parts =)

You know, this may come as a shock to you, but not ALL druids and rangers are greedy jerks who complain about their problems. Have you never stumbled upon someone shouting or /ooc 'free sow' or sent a tell to a druid asking for a port for a CR and he does it for free? Has someone never buffed you without wanting anything in return? If not, then you are either somehow miraculously missing these people or you should explore other servers. I see at least 3 times a week someone porting, healing, buffing, or protecting someone for no reason and that's why I enjoy playing a Druid. I enjoy helping others. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else or that I should be praised or anything, I'm just saying that you can't say ALL druids and rangers (or any class or race) are jerks just because you have a problem getting items. Everyone has troubles, but we deal with it because it's just a game.
It's useless trying to explain the difference between Druids and Dr00ds, Rangers and Rankers. As a Druid, I can't stand KSing Dr00ds. But I catch all the crap because of them. I port for free for all CRs and anytime I'm heading that way anyway. Why charge to carry someone to a place I'm going to anyway? In fact, if I'm not doing anything but goofing off at the time, I'll port for free anywhere. I goof off allot, so porting isn't my main source of income. Now that PoP is out, porting doesn't make the cash it used to, but you can still do ok going to the remote places. My point is, perception is reality. If reality doesn't match up to the perception someone has, then they will say ***** reality, perception IS reality. When we tell people thier is a difference, they only hear what they want to hear. Was a very nice try though. Thanks for the effort. It is much appreciated.
man calm down, who cares that this junk is sold for 15-19k. some of the players out there think it is worth buying it for that price or it wont be sold for that price. have you ever thought about this, yes it is sold for 15k for someone that is doing his epic. im sure it is just as hard for you to make 15k than to go on raids where you kill reavers 5 times if not more. if you are not willing to spend that price for a reaver, then go on 5 more raids to get more. my guild went to CoM tonight to do my epic and got one tonight. was anyone of us trying to look at it for cash, NO! we all where very happy to give it to any ranger/druid that is in our guild that needed his epic. think about it, its just as hard, if not harder to raise 15k than to go farm reavers 5-7 times. that still makes your epic worth doing, if we where all giving this stuff away and all the other parts of the epic was that easy then where is the challenge in any of us doing epics. vi might as well just spawn us at lvl 60 with all the best gear in norrath. and as for KEI, yes its expensive, but no im not complaing soemone is selling it for that price. what im really thinking about is why isnt that spell going into a guild vault for a guild chanter when he reaches 60, but that is that guilds peragative. /anti flame off = P

You and I lookin this up after the drop last night - I "won" roll -(I'm a 56th Rogue). I called Twisp this morning to tell him I got him a JR while he slept... hehee... and he asks - "How much?? I got 2400 in the bank...lol, FREE man - it's for your epic! I'm a rogue, not a thief. Good Karma folks- a Priceless comodity - what goes around goes around! We had fun and I dinged 56, he gets a major part of his Epic - much rejoycing had by all!

An Honored Rogue is always the best side kick for a ranger..Nothing worse than having a mob aggro you in the back cus you didn't see him coming..Have a rogue and it wont happen. Why? Becuase he always on the other side of the mob and can see behind you. And to you whom gave a reaver away.. We Rangers Salute you!!!
Aye /agree, its just like KEI for chanters, i bet half the people that actually set out to farm that bad boy are not even chanters, just want to make the 40k by selling it.. i think it is petty and taking advantage a persons need to satisfy your greed. If i looted KEI, would go straight to my chanter bud in guild, no questions asked... if i got another, sure i would sell it to someone in need, but at a MUCH more realistic price...
As for jade reaver.... i wouldnt give that away... im gonna need it :P

The all other ranger/druid epic pieces are no drop argument is invalid as ALL Epic pieces should be NO DROP to get rid of farmers.

Re: "The all other ranger/druid epic pieces are no drop argument is invalid "
It might or might not be invalid, but it is certainly false. If you think about it, I'm sure you can figure out what the tradable epic piece is.
An epic like the Enchanter epic would be more in-line with "epic" expectations, perhaps - in that epic, everything has to be combined in containers, so there's no multiquesting (much of the Ranger/Druid epic can be MQed). There's one tradable piece in that epic, too - and two planar drops.

I would agree that all epic items should be no-drop. It's an epic, and I dont think it should be possible for someone to buy their way through it.
On the other hand, I also agree with the person earlier who said that if you dont want to pay a farmer, then go get it yourself. Whether the item is farmable or not, you still have the option to go get your own.

right Akalla, don't complain about it. Says you go kill the reavers to get the peice, not you have to pay another player 20k for it, not the way the quest was written. I actually wish I could buy parts of my epic, not because the mobs are tough, but just so I didnt need to put up w/ all the BS thats comes w/ camping Rage.

Last night (April 15 2002), myself (51 ranger) and some guildies (including a 55 ranger) went to CoM. We got to the reaver part, and after clearing up inside, we pulled one. Bingo! It dropped a JR straight away. Never heard of that before. It had been previously decided that the 55 ranger would get the first JR as he was closer to finishing his epic than I was. Anyway...up pops a second reaver...we kill it...and you'd never guess what it dropped?
That's right, folks...a second JR! I'm still grinning like a Cheshire cat while typing this, I can tell you!
Tzen, 51 ranger and proud owner of a Jade Reaver!
